"The eldest girl and the second girl are coming back to celebrate the New Year this first month, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked Xu Mang's wife again.

Xu Mang's wife said: "I'm back. On the third day of the first lunar month, the two sisters came back together with my uncle and children to pay New Year's greetings."

"Why don't you see the third girl?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law said: "It's said that Grandma Ga's family is singing a big show. The third girl went there on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. She probably won't come back until after celebrating the Lantern Festival. I asked her to stay there and accompany her Grandma Ga."

Then Xu Mang's wife asked Yang Ruoqing about Chen'er and Dazhi, and asked Blacksmith Luo about their physical conditions.

In this first month, relatives and friends walk around and chat with each other. They talk about children, the elderly, harvests, business, and the body. Generation after generation, they enjoy it endlessly.

Over there, Xu Mang said to his wife: "You can chat with Qing'er in the afternoon. It's time for lunch. Fengtang and Qing'er came from Huguang County and are still hungry.

!”

Xu Mang's wife quickly stood up: "Qing'er, I'm going to cook, you guys drink tea first."

Yang Ruoqing also stood up: "Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law shook her head and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it. You're coming to our house on the first day of the new year. How can we ask you to come out of the kitchen! No way!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's okay, we don't care about that."

She is really hungry now and wants to eat quickly. If Xu Mang's wife is allowed to go to the kitchen alone, the three girls are not at home.

If you do it again, you won't be without food for an hour.

And one hour is a full two hours, I'm going to be hungry!

"Brother Xu Mang, Tang Yazi, it's settled, I'll help my sister-in-law cook!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Xu Mang also wanted to dissuade him, but Luo Fengtang saw Yang Ruoqing's intention.

"Okay, Qing'er, go ahead and help me quickly. To be honest with you, I'm really hungry, so don't make too many dishes later, just make two that can eat!"

"How's that going? It's the first time you guys have come back to our house in the new year..." Xu Mang's wife still stood there with a confused look on her face.

Xu Mang said: "Don't be so stunned. In this case, let's just be more casual. You can cook noodles for us, and then fry some bacon for me and Feng Tang to drink with us."

"It's the same thing to wait until night and prepare a table of dishes to entertain them both!"

Xu Mang is the backbone of his wife. After hearing this, the woman nodded quickly.

"Qing'er, since we are cooking noodles, I can cook them quickly by myself. Don't get your clothes dirty. Just sit down and the noodles will be ready in a while!"

Xu Mang's wife pushed Yang Ruoqing back onto the stool and sat down, then she ran to the kitchen on her feet.

Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to sit down again, continue drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and listening to the two men chatting.

They chatted all over the world, not only about the current situation, but also about gossip. In the end, the two of them turned the topic around to hunting, which they were most interested in.

Xu Mang said: "During the twelfth lunar month, a few friends and I went hunting in the mountains to the west of Wanghai County. We hunted a roe deer. I took the roe deer leg back and had it waxed. I couldn't bear to let my two sons-in-law come over to pay New Year's greetings.

Take it out and eat it.”

"Let your sister-in-law cut some big pieces of meat tonight, and our brothers will make a few cups of wine!"

Luo Fengtang responded with a smile.

After a while, Xu Mang's wife came to the main room and said, "The noodles are cooked, haven't the two children come back yet?"

Only then did Yang Ruoqing realize that the two little guys hadn't come back after going out for a while, so she put down the tea bowl in her hands and got up and walked to the door of the main room, "I'll go look for them."

Xu Mang's wife also came with her. When she reached the entrance of the yard, she shouted at the top of her lungs towards both ends of the alley.

What she called was her boy's name.

This woman, who looked gentle and gentle, had a loud and powerful voice when she called her son to go home for dinner!

However, after shouting several times, there was no response from the child.

"Did this brat take the baby there to play with? He ran so far, and if he comes back later, I won't ask his father to take care of him!" Xu Mang's wife was a little anxious and muttered to herself.

Yang Ruoqing said: "The children are very playful and may have gone to play in a nearby alley. It's okay. Let's go look there."

As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the alley, they saw two children running hand in hand towards this side, turning their heads to look behind them as they ran. They were both nervous and excited.

"What are you doing?" Yang Ruoqing shouted to them.

When the two children saw Yang Ruoqing and Xu Mang's wife, they quickly ran to them.

"Mom, we didn't run for anything, do we need to eat? Come on, go back and eat!" Luo Baobao took Yang Ruoqing's hand and said breathlessly.

Yang Ruoqing looked at her suspiciously, "Did you do something bad?"

"No, how is that possible? If you don't believe me, just ask your brother!" Luo Baobao said, winking at the boy from the Xu family.

The boy from the Xu family also puffed up his chest and said to Yang Ruoqing: "We didn't cause any trouble, we did what we should do."

"Then what did you do?" Xu Mang's wife also asked curiously.

The two children shook their heads together, "This is our secret, we can't tell it."

Yang Ruoqing and Xu Mang's wife looked at each other and smiled, "What they can do is so mysterious!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"That's all, don't ask. If it's a good thing, there's no need to ask. If it's something that causes trouble, the secret will be revealed sooner or later. Then we can just settle the account with interest. Go back to eat!" Yang Ruoqing smiled and touched it!

Luo Baobao's head, the four of them walked towards the Xu family together.

The hot and fragrant lunch has been brought to the table.

Four adults and two children, each had a bowl of meatball noodles in front of them.

In the middle of the table, there is a bowl of fried bacon with red pepper, a bowl of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, a bowl of soybean paste made by Xu Mang's wife, and a plate of clean and juicy coriander, which are used for dipping the noodles.

.

"My sister-in-law is so good at cooking. I feel hungry just by smelling the aroma!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Xu Mang's wife also smiled and said: "We are in a hurry at noon, so we can only make do with it like this. Let's just make do with it!"

"If such sumptuous meals are called make do and make do, then there will be no more delicious meals in the world." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"There are meatballs hidden in the top and bottom of the bowl. They are said to be meatball noodles, but the whole bowl is filled with meatballs." Yang Ruoqing added.

Xu Mang's wife laughed and raised her chopsticks to greet them: "Eat while it's hot. You'll be full."
