As the sun set, Bao Suyun came to see Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu again.

"Third sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, there are still three or five tables of guests at night. I have to work hard for you to go over and help cook."

After hearing Bao Suyun's words, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu quickly put down their tea bowls and stood up.

"Don't be tired, that's what you should do. Your fourth sister-in-law and I are planning to finish the bowl of tea and then go over by ourselves." Mrs. Sun said.

Bao Suyun smiled and said: "Go to my house to drink, let's go."

The main drink has already been held at noon. The three or five tables of guests at night are mainly composed of the following three parts:

I came over to congratulate you, and my name also appeared on the red guest invitation list. However, you couldn't be there for various reasons during the noon banquet, so you had to invite me over for a drink at night.

The other part is that I came to have a drink at noon, but because the gift you gave was heavier than what others gave, it met the standard of drinking for two people, but only one person came to drink at noon, so I had to go over and invite him over for dinner at night.

A banquet.

The last part is the opposite-sex relatives in the family.

For example, the size of each house in Lao Yang's family belongs to the relatives of the family and they are in the ranks of helping.

Relatives of the opposite sex, such as the old Wang family where Yang Huamei lives, the old Luo family where Yang Ruoqing lives, the Sun family, etc., even if they are related to each other, they have to be invited over to have a drink.

In this way, there is nothing wrong with the three or five banquet tables at night.

In the kitchen at night, there were relatively few women helping. Jin, Sun, Liu, Bao Suyun, Wang Cuilian, and Yang Huamei could hold up the scene.

The younger generation of wives did not let them enter the kitchen because the Chinese New Year was celebrated tomorrow and there were always things to sort out at home and the children had to be taken care of at night, so they could just bring their children over for dinner.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun was in charge of the spoons, looking at the two pots on the stove. Mrs. Liu was serving the stove. One of Yang Huamei and Wang Cuilian was responsible for bringing the cold dishes that needed to be heated to Sun, and the other was responsible for bringing the hot dishes aside.

After going to put the dishes on the plate, Jin stayed in the yard to keep an eye on the fire on the small stove, so as to ensure that the guests in the front yard had tea refills at all times.

Bao Suyun is like an intermediate hub. She does not have a fixed position, but she moves between each position flexibly.

With Mrs. Liu in the kitchen, the atmosphere is completely different. She can divert everyone's attention from the dishes in front of them to those novel things, so that everyone does not feel that cooking is a chore.

Even if you are nervous, you can get things done without even realizing it.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you are back now, and the house is full of excitement."

Yang Huazhou came to the backyard kitchen to ask about dinner, and happened to hear Mr. Liu sitting at the stove talking jokes, and couldn't help but say.

Ms. Liu laughed so hard that she lost her eyes, "Your fourth sister-in-law, I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to talk."

"You are just a trumpet and suona player." A voice came in immediately behind Yang Huazhou. Although the speaker did not enter the kitchen, everyone knew that Yang Huaming was here.

Mrs. Liu's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. She banged the fire stick in her hand on the ground: "If you want to speak, just speak openly and hide outside. Are you a mouse?"

Everyone in the kitchen laughed.

Mrs. Sun said to the door of the kitchen: "Fourth, you didn't play cards?"

When the women came to the kitchen to cook, they heard the men in the front yard playing cards together. There were three tiers inside the table and three tiers outside. The people on the outermost edge even brought long stools and stood on them to watch.

Woolen cloth.

Yang Huaming said: "I haven't touched the cards at all. I have always watched them play."

Mrs. Sun glanced at Mrs. Liu, and then asked Yang Huaming outside: "Why don't you play? Didn't you like playing cards the most in the past?"

Yang Huaming said: "They are playing with money, and the more they play, the bigger they get. I definitely can't fight them."

Mrs. Sun pursed her lips and smiled, then glanced at Mr. Liu, who had his eyes downcast but his ears perked up, and then said to Yang Huaming outside: "It's not a problem for someone who is celebrating the New Year to just play casually.

You go gambling every day."

Yang Huaming chuckled and said: "Gambling is an addictive thing. At first, I just tried to comfort myself by gambling, but as I played, those who won wanted to win, and those who lost wanted to get back their money, but they were cheated every time they went back and forth.

I can't get out of it, but I have experience. You can't touch that thing, so I should just keep a few money in my hand to spend the New Year, and feel at ease."

Mrs. Sun was very satisfied with this conversation, but she didn't know whether Mr. Liu was satisfied or not.

But seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't say anything or make any moves, it obviously had some effect.

Mrs. Sun knew that some things couldn't be rushed, so she winked at Bao Suyun who was standing aside. Bao Suyun immediately asked Yang Huazhou: "Are all the guests here?"

Yang Huazhou nodded: "It's almost done. When will dinner be served?"

Bao Suyun said: "The meal can be served now. These dishes should be served while they are hot."

Yang Huazhou nodded: "Okay, I will tell Yongjin and others to set the table and let everyone sit down."

Yang Huazhou and Yang Huaming left together.

Bao Suyun said: "Fourth brother is really a different person now. Before I played gambling, I saw that fourth brother was sitting on a horse crane. Later, they suggested gambling, and fourth brother immediately got down and gave up his stool.

Gave it to someone else.”

Sun said: "The fourth child is now more pragmatic. He works hard in the Taoist temple and saves all the money he earns there. He seldom drinks wine. Sometimes when he is very greedy, he comes to my house to have a drink with your third brother.

I just drink it at night, and then go home and sleep to discredit it. I can’t drink it during the day because I’m afraid of offending the gods and Buddhas when working in Taoist temples..."

Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun were talking about each other. Mrs. Liu sat at the mouth of the stove with her head buried and listened to every word.

She had heard some of these things from the third girl before, but she always felt that it was her daughter's selfish motives, so she deliberately said good things to her father.

Now that she heard the third sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law say this, and had heard Yang Huaming's words with her own ears before, Ms. Liu felt some strange feelings in her heart.

Especially when he thought about him coming to the third brother's house at the entrance of the village at night, drinking two glasses of wine and then going home in disgrace. He had been sitting firmly in his seat, and when the gambler came over, he immediately stepped aside in a sensible manner...

Thinking of these pictures in her mind, Ms. Liu was relieved but also felt a little distressed.

She didn't want others to see her strangeness, so she quickly buried her head deeper and continued to fiddle with the firewood in the stove.

The food has already been served.

Yang Ruoqing came to the backyard and asked Wang Cuilian to sit at the table with Blacksmith Luo and Baobao Luo while she served the dishes.

How can I let my aunt run again and again this night? What will happen if she falls later?

Wang Cuilian then went to the front yard to have a drink.

Yang Ruoqing came back with a bunch of vegetables and said to Bao Suyun: "Before I delivered the food, I was chatting in Guiling's room. Several sisters-in-law and younger siblings were there. When I was delivering the food, I went to the tables in the front yard to take a closer look.
