Yang Ruoqing laughed, the best way to deal with a pretentious old lady like you is not to get used to her.

The more I get used to you, the more problems you will have.

Everything went much smoother after that. Yang Ruoqing sat aside with her legs crossed, her toes raised, her chin held up, and she leisurely watched Mr. Tan eat.

Mrs. Tan also knew that it was not necessary to be pretentious in front of Yang Ruoqing, so she honestly ate and drank as she should, and the bowl of rice was quickly eaten to the bottom.

At first, Yang Ruoqing was still watching Tan's meal leisurely, thinking that she would definitely not be able to eat such a huge bowl. What she didn't expect was that Tan's appetite seemed to be whetted away little by little as she ate, and she picked up the ribs.

After a meal, the prawns were chewed with their shells and skins on, and they were crunchy. The other vegetables were mixed with the rice and swept into the mouth, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"Hey, I can't eat anymore."

Mrs. Tan put an empty bowl on the table, wiped the corners of her mouth and said.

"Milk, if you can eat this empty bowl, I really admire you." Yang Ruoqing looked at the empty bowl and muttered to herself.

But he still smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first. Dad asked me to tell you that he was drinking with my uncle at noon. Maybe he will come back later so that you can lie down for a while if you feel sleepy."

Mr. Tan waved his hands and said nothing. He fell back and leaned back on the wicker chair, his whole body paralyzed.

Luo family.

When Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang finished drinking, Sun also returned from Qingshui Town.

Upon hearing the news of her return, Yang Huazhong hurriedly said goodbye to Blacksmith Luo and hurried home.

Yang Ruoqing helped Wang Cuilian clean up the dishes, and in the afternoon she went with Wang Cuilian to take care of the vegetable garden.

There is a small crescent-shaped pond near the vegetable garden. Except for the few vegetable patches in the front and back yards of every household, most of the vegetable gardens in the village are distributed around the crescent pond.

Compared with other women who used buckets to carry water back and forth to water the vegetables, Yang Ruoqing carried two buckets on a pole and carried others back and forth two or three times in one trip.

"Qing'er, please slow down, don't fall!"

Wang Cuilian was standing by the vegetable garden with two gourds and gourds in her hands, chatting with the woman in the vegetable field next door. When she saw Yang Ruoqing coming over carrying water, she quickly stopped talking and shouted.

"Don't worry, aunt, I'm stable!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, the autumn sun in the west shone on her body, her face was full of energy, and even her smile was radiating.

This made the woman next to Wang Cuilian greedy. She touched Wang Cuilian's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Da Mao Niang, your nephew-in-law is really not bad. If you had such a precious status in someone else's family, it would have been put on your head."

Empress, where can I come to help you water your vegetable garden?"

The reason why this woman still calls Wang Cuilian "Da Mao Niang" is because before Wang Cuilian married Blacksmith Luo, she was her neighbor when she was a widow in the village.

At that time, this neighbor was very kind to Wang Cuilian and took care of many things for her as a widow. Therefore, even if Wang Cuilian and Blacksmith Luo later moved to the entrance of the village, she did not forget her original friendship with this neighbor woman.

Especially now that the vegetable gardens of the two families are still next to each other, they will get together to do household chores every now and then when they work together.

"Sister-in-law, I told you before that my Qing'er is an honest child. You still don't believe it. Have you seen it now?" Wang Cuilian whispered to the woman next to her with a look of relief.

"My Qing'er is a very busy person. Whenever she is not busy, she always takes time to help me with work. She is said to be my nephew-in-law, no different from my daughter-in-law."

The woman beside her nodded repeatedly, "Before, I was worried that you would not be happy when you went to Luo's house. Now it seems that I have overthought it. Many families in our village have lazy wives who can really piss off the mother-in-law!"

Seeing Yang Ruoqing carrying the water steadily, the woman quickly stopped talking, stood together with Wang Cuilian, looked at Yang Ruoqing with a smile, and took the initiative to say hello: "Qing'er is so awesome, this load of water is sinking."

When Yang Ruoqing passed by them carrying water, she didn't forget to stop and respond to the woman with a smile: "It's a little heavy, but it's okay. I had a lot of energy after eating at noon."

The woman laughed and said to Wang Cuilian, "It's so interesting to talk."

Wang Cuilian also laughed.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Auntie, let me send the water to the edge of our vegetable patch first!"

"Okay, I'm here too."

Wang Cuilian greeted the woman next to her, then followed Yang Ruoqing with two gourds and gourds, straightening her back and walking towards her vegetable patch.

She could feel that not only the neighbor's sister-in-law, but also other women from the village who were busy in the vegetable garden far and near were also looking here. Wang Cuilian suddenly felt that she had become the center, the focus of everyone's envy.

And all this is because she has a good Qinger.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came together, and Wang Cuilian helped Yang Ruoqing take the pole. Looking at the red skin on her shoulders, Wang Cuilian felt really sad.

"I told you not to come. If you have to come, it will make you famous!"

Wang Cuilian opened a little of Yang Ruoqing's collar and looked at her white and tender shoulders. She felt so distressed that she couldn't help but feel a bit reproachful.

In comparison, Yang Ruoqing looked indifferent.

She pulled the collar back again and said with a smile: "Aunt, are you too pampered by me? It doesn't matter if you are a little red. Come on, let's get to work!"

Wang Cuilian still said: "I have clam oil at home, remember to apply some when I get home later."

Yang Ruoqing nodded obediently, took the other gourd scoop from Wang Cuilian's hand, scooped out a full scoop of water and started watering the vegetable field.

Wang Cuilian was also watering another vegetable patch nearby, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were working while doing household chores.

"Auntie, look at these radish sprouts coming up soon. Look, this bunch of green ones is really nice to look at."

"Yes, it will be ready to eat in a while. Then it will be good for cold salad, stir-fry, or with rice and porridge." Wang Cuilian smiled lovingly.

Yang Ruoqing looked expectant.

"Auntie, speaking of radish, can I discuss something with you?"

"You can tell me whatever it is."

"Auntie, I haven't eaten enough of the sweet and sour garlic we had last time. When the radishes come out, how about we pick some more radishes and pickle them the same way you pickled the garlic last time?"

At the end of May and the beginning of June, the garlic at home is ripe.

Yang Ruoqing usually doesn't like garlic very much, and she can't stand the smell, so she takes a few slices to enhance the flavor when she's stir-frying spicy vegetables.

But last time, Wang Cuilian used a method to pickle garlic. Darling, that sweet and sour garlic was a small dish for breakfast every day. Yang Ruoqing felt that it was not enough. The amount of pickling was not much, and she finished it in less than a month.

When it’s over, I start thinking about it.

Wang Cuilian thought Yang Ruoqing had some difficult request, but she didn't expect it to be this.
