A plate of fried peanuts with sugar, a plate of salted edamame, and a plate of frost-flowered melon seeds were already placed in front of the two of them.

The two of them ate and chatted.

"It stands to reason that the two girls from the old Yang family are as good-looking as angels. The Ju'er who married into the Chen family in the town is also good-looking. Not to mention Mrs. Luo herself. This embroidery girl must be

She’s not even ugly, she’s probably a beauty.”

"Tsk, tsk, you are such a fool, you are so lucky. You have married a rich and beautiful daughter-in-law, and with the help of your father-in-law, you will have a good life in the future. No wonder the fortune teller said that you will be a leisurely person in the future.

Life is really efficacious..."

Changping Village.

There are some things that are more convenient for mothers to say to their daughters than for fathers.

No, after putting her youngest son to sleep at night, Cao Bamei came to the room where her eldest daughter Xiu Xiu lived, "Xiu Xiu, I'm going to sleep with you now, so we can have a good chat..."

One night passed, and Xiu Xiu, who was usually used to getting up early to sweep the yard and wash the clothes, fell asleep for the first time.

Yang Yong came into the kitchen and found Cao Bamei in the smoke and fire: "What's going on? Did you tell your daughter last night? What did your daughter say?"

Cao Bamei was yawning, with obvious dark circles under her eyes.

"We've been talking for most of the night, but neither of us has slept well..."

"Just catch up on your sleep later in the afternoon. Tell me about last night." Yang Yongjin asked again impatiently.

Cao Bamei pursed her lips and smiled, glanced outside the kitchen, and then spoke in a low voice to Yang Yongjin.

It's nothing more than the girl's shyness and resistance to the topic when she first heard this. But she couldn't bear it, and the mother's kind words coaxed and enlightened her. The girl covered her head under the quilt and just listened.

"I'm not exaggerating. I just told you the situation of the Li family and Li Wei himself."

Yang Yongjin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you should tell the truth, and you can't add fuel to the fire with your personal preferences."

Cao Bamei rolled her eyes at Yang Yongjin.

"What did Xiuxiu say?" he asked again.

Cao Bamei shook her head: "I didn't say anything. She usually sleeps with me with her little mouth like a sparrow, but last night she turned into a stuffy gourd."

"Ah? How could this happen? Could it be that you are dissatisfied and feel wronged?" Yang Yongjin suddenly stopped laughing.

I really want to find a good home for my daughter, because I want her to have a suitable person to accompany her through the ups and downs of life in the future, instead of rushing to throw away the burden and marry my daughter off.

The reason for searching in advance is to have more choices and more preparations.

Besides, the Li family took the initiative to come to the door, not looking for it themselves.

"You know the restaurant business like the back of your hand, but you don't know anything about my daughter's heart." Cao Bamei finally found something that could turn the tables on Yang Yongjin.

"You understand, then tell me quickly. Is it interesting to see me anxious?" Yang Yongjin said angrily.

Cao Bamei smiled proudly, "I understand your daughter's temperament. If she cries or reacts violently, it means she is not happy."

"The fact that she didn't say a word shows that she doesn't resist talking about marriage..."

"If you don't resist? Does that mean you agree?"

"I promise you, do you think this is shopping for groceries at the Wa Market? Girls have poor reputations, so this kind of thing needs to be done slowly. However, we can arrange for them to meet at the third uncle's house later, and we can talk in private.

Let's leave each other with a sentence... It should work."

Now that there is something going on, we can then arrange other matters step by step.

Regarding the matter between Xiuxiu and Li Wei, because the two parties have just developed a little interest, this relationship is as delicate as a bud that has just broken through the ground. If the wind is stronger, it may be destroyed.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to publicize the matter before it becomes clear, so the number of insiders is limited.

In addition to the parties involved on both sides, there are the middlemen Yang Huazhong and Sun and his wife, as well as Li Wei's aunt and uncle.

His aunt and uncle are in Qingshui Town, and whether they know it or not has no influence on Changping Village and Lijia Village, so there is no need to worry.

As for Sun, she couldn't help but develop another downline, and that was Yang Ruoqing.

So Yang Ruoqing also became an insider.

At night, Mrs. Sun came over to the Luo family to see Chen'er. After they were done, the two children went to the study to practice calligraphy and whisper among themselves. Mrs. Sun changed the subject and talked to Yang Ruoqing about tomorrow's banquet.

"On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shengnan and the cattle dealer didn't make it in time to have a banquet. They happened to be back today, so your father sent a message asking them to come over for lunch tomorrow. By the way, Li Jia and Li Yi also brought Li Wei."

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Most of the grassland and woods belong to Lijia Village. Well, inviting Lijia Village over for a few drinks will convince everyone and will not arouse others' suspicion.

"

Sun continued: "Because this trip is mainly for Xiuxiu and Li Wei to meet each other, your father means not to disturb the other people in the old Yang family, but only invites your fifth uncle and Yongjin to come over.

They will return to Qing'an County in a few days to practice it for them."

Yang Ruoqing stroked her palm: "Too few people make the intention too obvious, which will inevitably embarrass them young people. Too many people are noisy, and it is easy to overwhelm the guests. My father's arrangements are very good and thorough, and he also implements them for them. It really kills three birds with one stone."

Bird!"

Mrs. Sun also laughed, "If your father hears you praising him like this, he will laugh his head off."

"I'm sincere. My father has really thought carefully about it! There should be a full table of meals tomorrow, and my mother will definitely not be able to handle it by herself. I will go and help..."

This opportunity to help cook seems more suitable for Xiuxiu.

Sure enough, Mrs. Sun blinked and said, "Bamei and Xiuxiu help me. I have already said hello to Bamei before."

Yang Ruoqing smiled knowingly, "This is the best."

Yang Ruoqing did not attend the dinner hosted by Yang Huazhong the next day because she and Xiao An took Chen'er and Luo Baobao to the pasture to visit Xiao Duo.

Xiaoduo came over for a banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After returning home, Jiaojiao started to have a stomachache again, so she didn't come to the dinner today.

In the pasture, after visiting Duo'er and Jiaojiao, Luo Baobao took Xiao An and Chen'er like a guide to the depths of the pasture for a closer look.

In the house, Yang Ruoqing and Duoer were taking care of Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao, who is nearly one year old, had to eat a mouthful of rice cereal two or three times before she could eat it.

I remember when Baby Luo was five months old, she ate more than Jiaojiao and also ate faster than Jiaojiao.

There are three complementary meals a day, a bowl of tea, a bowl of sesame oil and egg custard, which I can eat immediately. When I am hungry, I can eat two or three shrimp slippers and meatballs in one go.

"Sister, sometimes when I see Jiaojiao looking so frail, it really lifts my spirits."

Xiaoduo's hair is a bit messy and she looks haggard. Compared to the summer weather, she has lost a lot of weight in late autumn. The flesh on her cheekbones on both sides looks like it has been shaved off.

"Look at her, it took her so long to eat a mouthful of rice cereal. I'm worried about her." Xiaoduo shook her head, her haggard face and the tiredness in her eyes made Yang Ruoqing feel distressed.
