Chapter 4737 Mid-Autumn Festival
During a trip to Ziwei Cave, except for Yang Ruoqing, the other three people suffered varying degrees of injuries, both internal and external.
Zuo Junmo suggested that the family of four should not rush back to Changping Village and just stay at his house for a while to recover from their injuries.
It just so happens that it would be nice to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Yang Ruoqing then discussed this with Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang himself did not take his injuries seriously, but he was worried that the bumpy road would harm Chen'er's recovery from his injuries.
So the couple made a plan and complied with Zuo Junmo's suggestion, simply spending the Mid-Autumn Festival here before going back.
The mother and son of the Zuo family were very happy. Zuo Junmo specially sent a servant to go to Changping Village quickly to deliver the news to Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong, so that they should not worry.
Of course, the servants were warned about their recuperation and did not dare to say a word.
When the servant came back, he brought two baskets with him.
"Inside this basket is the dried salted fish that the master of the Luo family gave to the old lady. He said that the fish was raised in the fish pond at home and is very plump."
"The other basket contains dry goods from the mountains and two kilograms of mooncakes. These were given to the old lady by Mrs. Luo's parents, saying that the mooncakes are homemade and have five kinds of fillings."
Looking at these two baskets of things, Mrs. Zuo was very grateful.
I rewarded the servant a lot, and then happily went to the backyard to prepare things for the festival.
Changping Village, Mid-Autumn Festival night.
Because the family of four stayed in Huguang County to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Sun and Wang Cuilian planned to have a reunion dinner together on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.
Lao Yangtou and Mr. Tan ate and drank with Sanfang in August, but on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, only Lao Yangtou appeared at the dinner table, but Mr. Tan was nowhere to be seen.
"Qing'er mother, Qing'er mother still refuses to come back today? It's a festival today..."
Before the banquet was about to begin, Wang Cuilian came to the front yard to place the dishes and chopsticks. She took the opportunity to glance at the number of people, then returned to the backyard kitchen and spoke to Mrs. Sun in a low voice.
Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly, "That's right. It's easy to get down the steps tonight, but the old lady was annoyed and refused to get down."
"As for the old man, he was determined by the weight, but he just refused to give in to the old lady. As for the old lady, she planned to come back before and packed all her luggage, but the old man made her angry again. Now
Ah, the two of them are getting more and more stiff." Sun said.
"Is the third child going to Lao Wang's house to invite you now?" Wang Cuilian asked again.
Mrs. Sun nodded: "I went to invite him two days ago. I went twice today and it was of no use at all. Oh, it's so annoying!"
Wang Cuilian nodded, this matter is indeed disturbing.
In other families, the elders worry about the younger ones. If the son and daughter-in-law have a little quarrel, the daughter-in-law will run back to her parents' house or something, and the parents-in-law will run back and forth to dissuade them because they can't eat or sleep.
But when it came to Lao Yang's house, the situation was reversed. The two parents-in-law, who were in their 60s and 70s, were at odds with each other, leaving their son and daughter-in-law to worry about them.
But when it comes to matters between parents-in-law, it’s not convenient for a son-in-law to get involved too much, so it’s really troublesome.
In the main room, Yang Huazhong sat aside, watching Old Yangtou and Blacksmith Luo chatting, and the old man burst into hearty laughter from time to time.
Yang Huazhong was confused.
Dad, is this just pretending?
Mother is having trouble and still lives in Lao Wang's house, Yongxian is in prison, how can father still laugh so happily?
It must be pretending.
After finally waiting until the dinner was over and the Luo family left, Old Yangtou was still sitting there drinking tea, his face was red and his every breath was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.
"Dad, can I tell you something that comes from my heart?"
Yang Huazhong pushed a plate of mooncakes in front of Lao Yangtou and asked.
At this time, there was no one else in the room except the two of them.
Old Yang glanced at Yang Huazhong sideways: "If it has anything to do with your mother, just forget about it and don't dig it out!"
He hit the mark right away, and Yang Huazhong smiled awkwardly.
"Well, that's not what I'm talking about. I just want to tell you, dad, some thoughtful words, the kind of things we would say between men." Yang Huazhong reorganized his language and continued.
Seeing that Old Yang was silent, Yang Huazhong continued: "I think as men, we need to be more open-minded. This woman is born to be messy. It doesn't make sense to reason with women."
"But there is a saying that is right. She married us to give birth to children and take care of the housework. She did not marry to reason with us. It is not easy for them to have children. They have to go through hell and give birth to such a child.
Five, six, seven, even walking several times, it’s not easy..."
"Stop, stop!" Old Yang raised his hand impatiently, interrupting Yang Huazhong.
"After going around and around, I still want to persuade him to make peace," Yang Huazhong said.
"Third brother, dad, let me tell you the truth. I understand all the things you said."
"I also want to tell you that as men, we have to be open-minded and tolerant of women's messiness. I have been tolerant of your mother all my life, otherwise she would develop the bad temper she has now?"
"But there are things that we men cannot tolerate, and we can't even rub sand in our eyes!"
Speaking of this, Lao Yang raised his finger and pointed at the top of his head: "This place cannot be green, even if the leaves are as big as a green leaf, do you understand?"
Yang Huazhong couldn't laugh or cry.
"Dad, how many times do I have to tell you this? My mother is not that kind of person at all, not to mention she is so old. You... aren't you kidding me?" Yang Huazhong said.
The misunderstanding between the old couple had actually been communicated to each other through Yang Huazhong and Yang Huamei.
But the problem now is that both parties know what the other cares about, but neither of them is willing to be the one to retreat first.
"With you brothers and sisters in the middle, like trumpets, your mother knows exactly what I am concerned about! If she is self-aware, if she still puts me as a man in her eyes, she should come back by herself to avoid suspicion!"
Yang Tou tapped his fingers on the table and said angrily.
Yang Huazhong said: "My mother is a woman and has little face. This matter is up to you..."
Lao Yangtou suddenly growled: "She is a woman and needs face, but I am a man and my face is the sole of someone else's shoe?"
Yang Huazhong was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word.
Old Yang took a sip of tea and slammed the tea bowl on the table.
"If she wants to come back, just come back by herself. Do you want me to pick her up? Then don't come back. After all, this life is almost over and she has had enough!"
Lao Yangtou was too lazy to eat the mooncakes, so he stood up and walked angrily to the door of the hall.
After walking a few steps, he turned back, picked up the cigarette stick that fell from the table and inserted it into his waist, "This cigarette stick is not bad, you are serious about it."
This dry tobacco stick was bought by Yang Huazhong specifically for Old Yangtou two days ago. It turned out that Old Yangtou liked the old one and kept it. Now Old Yangtou has two dry tobacco sticks.
"As long as dad likes it, that's fine." Yang Huazhong said with a smile.
