"Hey, we've got a lot of old bachelors and old widowers in these ten miles and eight villages who are too old to marry their wives, or whose wives have died without renewing their strings. I'm sure Mo will be deceived into hiding at home by them.

How about helping to give birth to the baby?"

Mrs. Liu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started to eat them. What came out between her thin lips was not only the melon seed shells, but also a hint that gave Yang Ruoqing an idea.

"Fourth Aunt, do you know how many old bachelors and old widowers there are here and in recent villages? What is their conduct like?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.

Mrs. Liu's mouth was still moving, and her eyes rolled up to the top of her head, looking like she was thinking.

In Yang Ruoqing's eyes, Liu at this moment is like a high-speed computer. The movement of rolling his eyes is to call up relevant news in the database through the search engine.

And this database is so huge that it is unimaginable. 'Skynet' is probably nothing more than that in front of her.

"Changping Village, Lijia Village, Yujia Village, Zhengjia Village, Jinjia Village on the edge of Zhengjia Village, and by the way, there are also two villages east of Lijia Village that border Huguang County, I know them all!"

Ms. Liu patted her chest and said confidently.

This confidence infects everyone around you, which is called having confidence in your heart and being tough when you speak.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips. For many years, her fourth aunt had never let her down when it came to gossip.

"Qing'er, we have to talk about the old bachelors and old widowers in these villages. We can't finish it in three days and three nights. I will go back to the village with you later to help us look for it. Now

Let’s continue talking about the water monkey. Does that thing really have a green face and fangs?” Ms. Liu leaned over to ask again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "It's not like that with a green face and fangs. It has a hairy face and a thunderous mouth. It has a face like a monkey. It also has long hair on its body, but its body looks like a seven or eight-year-old child."

In order to satisfy the curiosity of all the women present, Yang Ruoqing made detailed drawings of the water monkey's eyes, nose, and mouth.

Hearing everyone's admiration, Mrs. Liu immediately shouted: "This can't be done, I want to go back. I want to go back. Ju'er, you pack up, and your mother-in-law is with us. Let's go back to the village to see the water monkeys."

"

This invitation was not enough, so Ms. Liu turned to the neighbors and said, "Are you going? You want to go with us!"

Mother Chen and several neighbors were hesitant, and it looked like they were really tempted.

Ju'er couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this, "Mom, this is not a big show during the first month of the year, you..."

"What am I doing? There are operas every year. It's not unusual. This water monkey is a rare thing. When we were young, we often heard adults scare us with water monsters and tell us children not to play near the water.

, I have always wanted to see what this water ghost looks like in my dreams. I finally caught it this time and I must go and take a closer look!"

Not only do you want to look at it, but you also want to pinch it and see how it feels!

Yang Ruoqing saw Liu's excitement in her eyes and laughed secretly.

It’s not that one family cannot enter the same house, and one quilt cannot cover two different people. Four uncles and four aunts are a perfect match!

"Mother-in-law, do you want to go see it?" Ju'er turned to Chen's mother.

Chen's mother wanted to go, but she couldn't leave the house alone, and it was inconvenient to bring her children there on a hot day. Chen Biao didn't even say hello, and his eldest grandson was still studying in school...

A bunch of factors popped up, and Mother Chen shook her head decisively and declined Mrs. Liu's invitation.

"Ju'er, you and your mother should go back and take a look. Leave the child to me."

Ju'er thought for a moment, "Well, I just want to go back and have a look. I'll try to get back before dark."

"It's okay if you can't make it back in time. It's the same thing if your child sleeps with me." Mother Chen said again.

My daughter-in-law has been working hard for the family since she got married. She rarely goes back to her parents' home. It's not easy with two children holding her back.

This is a rare and novel thing, and it would be nice for my daughter-in-law to go back and take a look around easily.

…

Under Liu's active promotion, Ju'er followed the others and got on the carriage back to Changping Village.

Yang Ruoqing was driving the car in front, and the four of them were sitting in the carriage. They were Liu's home field along the way.

His mouth was gibbering so much that he couldn't stop talking.

Yang Ruoqing listened casually while driving, she felt energetic, and the journey was no longer boring.

When she arrived at the village, Mrs. Liu jumped out of the carriage without taking a sip of tea or going to the toilet, and headed to the Nari Song family in the village.

The water monkey was handed over to Narisong, who was responsible for guarding it and sending it to Qing'an County.

"Why are the fourth younger siblings so impatient? They don't even take a sip of the tea..."

Mrs. Sun came to pick her up outside the yard, but Ms. Liu ran away and left the back of her head for her.

"Fourth Aunt said on the way that she was worried that she would be late and Risong sent the water monkey away." Yang Ruoqing said, leading the carriage towards the Luo family's yard.

Mrs. Sun quickly called Ju'er, Mianmian and Luo Baobao to come into the house.

Just as Ju'er came in, Baby Luo followed Yang Ruoqing back to Luo's house. Mianmian also declined Sun's invitation. She was anxious to send the purchased things home to her mother and sister-in-law.

Luo Baobao arranged his things and immediately ran to the yard next door. He went to the Narisong house in the village with Ju'er, sister Xiuxiu, and the girls from Xiaoqin's family.

In the kitchen in the backyard of the Luo family, Yang Ruoqing was discussing with Wang Cuilian about inviting Mrs. Liu and Ju'er to dinner at noon.

"The baby stayed at Ju'er's house for two nights and was well taken care of. When Ju'er returns to the village, we naturally have to entertain him."

"Qing'er, since we invite your fourth aunt and Ju'er to come over for dinner, can the remaining two or three people in the fourth room also be invited over as well?"

"certainly."

"There are only two of your parents at home, so I might as well ask them to stop cooking and have a good time together."

"also."

"Okay, then I'm going to prepare the dishes. There are fish and shrimps at home, which your uncle caught in the reservoir last night. Let's see what other dishes we prepare."

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, "Kill a chicken, stir-fry some fresh seasonal vegetables, make a bowl of egg soup, braised fish, pickled fish, and braised prawns. That's it."

Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing thought about it, "Okay, I'll go get it done right now."

"Auntie, let me help you."

Wang Cuilian pushed Yang Ruoqing out: "No, no, you just came back from town and are tired from driving. Go and have a rest and cool down."

"Okay, then I'll go to my mother's house next door and say hello to my mother."

"go Go."

When Yang Ruoqing came to Sun's place, Bao Suyun happened to be there too. When she walked in, Bao Suyun was just halfway through her words.

"...I want to prepare a table for home-cooked meals at noon, greet Fourth Sister-in-law, Ju'er and the others, and then call Third Girl and Tiedan over to eat together. Third Sister-in-law, you and Third Brother will also come over."

Just as Sun was about to speak, Yang Ruoqing covered her mouth and laughed.

"Fifth Aunt, what are you planning to cook?"

When Bao Suyun saw that she was coming, she smiled kindly and said, "I went to your aunt to ask about it earlier. She hasn't killed any pigs in the past two days. I went back to discuss it with Dabao and asked him to find a way to catch a chicken later.

.”

Yang Ruoqing put down her hands, came to the table, pulled up a stool and sat down.
