Da'an sighed softly, "Ms. Xu's father, Mr. Xu, is from Changhuaizhou. We are from the same hometown as me. When I passed the Jinshi examination, I was entertained by Mr. Xu when I was in Changhuaizhou."

"While chatting with him, I found that we have similar views in many aspects and are quite compatible, so I visited him twice after Mr. Xu went to the capital."

"I borrowed these three books from Mr. Xu, but when I went to pick them up from his house that day, he was temporarily absent. It was Xu Moli who sent the books to me."

"My relationship with that girl is just a nod at best. Besides, she is getting married, so a man with a foreign surname like me must avoid her. We really don't have much contact with her."

"After I got the book back, I just happened to catch up with His Majesty to give me an errand. I was in a hurry, so I put the book in a drawer to take it home during the winter vacation and study it carefully. I really don't know what the letter is!"

Da'an was deeply troubled by his hindsight.

Please be careful next time you borrow books.

After Yang Ruoqing heard the whole process, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay, I've figured out the cause and effect. It was a false alarm!"

"Da'an, stop blaming yourself. Talk to Hua'er openly and honestly later. Hua'er will believe you no matter what you say."

"Sister, I will not lie to Hua'er."

"Well, that's good. Haha, then you can continue reading and I won't disturb you anymore..."

"Sister, my mood is fluctuating at the moment and I no longer have the heart to read. I have to go to the pasture."

Wow, are you going to explain this? What a good man!

"Okay, okay, you can catch up with Xiaoduo and the others for lunch now. I'll go and tell my mother that I won't beat you at noon to save a bowl of food."

Seeing the old lady running out in a hurry, Daan couldn't laugh or cry.

When he put on his coat and changed his shoes to go out, Yang Ruoqing came back with a three-layer insulated food box in his hand.

"Mom heard that you are going to the pasture and asked you to bring two bowls of maltose syrup to Duo'er. She has loved drinking it since she was a child."

Daan nodded, picked up the food box and hurried out the door.

Mrs. Sun only saw Yang Ruoqing's happy face and good mood, but she didn't know the real reason for Yang Ruoqing's excitement.

"Daughter, is it good to see you smile so beautifully?" Mrs. Sun couldn't help but ask.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want to tell Sun the truth, so she turned her eyes and said cheerfully: "Mom, you don't understand the happiness of a tool man."

?

What is a tool man? Sun was confused.

Yang Ruoqing didn't bother to explain to Mrs. Sun. Anyway, she was a tool man for Da'an and Hua'er, and Yang Ruoqing was very happy!

Seeing her daughter walking away humming a little tune, Mrs. Sun also smiled happily.

Even if her daughter didn't say anything, Mrs. Sun could still guess.

It must be because the family is making maltose in preparation for the New Year, and the festive atmosphere makes my daughter happy.

Although my daughter is about to turn thirty, in my mother’s eyes, is there any difference between thirty and three?

No, I’m all looking forward to celebrating the New Year, and I love celebrating the New Year!

Therefore, when my daughter is happy, Mrs. Sun is also happy.

It becomes more energetic when boiling sugar.

The fried black sesame and peanuts were poured into the syrup in the small pot according to the measured proportions. Yang Huazhong stood by the pot and stirred with a wooden stick thicker than the handle of a hoe.

The sweet smell filled the kitchen, and the fire at the bottom of the pot was flickering. This was a strenuous job. Yang Huazhong took off his cotton-padded clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and spread his arms to stir non-stop.

Beside, Sun and Bao Suyun worked together to carry a large wooden basin and waited. When Yang Huazhong mixed the sesame candy in the pot and threw it into the wooden basin like a woman washing and kneading the bedding, Sun

Both Shi and Bao Suyun felt their arms sink.

The two sisters gritted their teeth and carried the wooden basin to the yard. At this time, Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou gathered around.

They put several thick layers of cheesecloth on top of the sesame candy and covered it tightly.

Then, the two brothers took off their shoes and socks and jumped into the big wooden basin. They stepped and danced vigorously and danced as if they were dancing.

The children gathered in a circle, laughing and wanting to take off their little shoes and squeeze in to dance together.

When the two brothers got tired of dancing, Yang Yongjin and the others would go in and dance again.

Tiedan and Honger were extremely envious. Zhao Liuer smiled and said, "Eat more food, and those who are tall and strong can jump in."

The two boys nodded vigorously. For this ambitious goal, they cannot be picky eaters and must eat well and grow up quickly!

When the maltose was almost gone, they worked together to lift the wooden basin and place it upside down on the wooden door that had been set up nearby.

I was making tofu two days ago, and this wooden door panel also played an irreplaceable role. Today it plays a major role again.

The wooden door panels had long been wiped clean by Zhao Liu'er and Cao Bamei. After the sesame candy was placed upside down on it, heat and aroma overflowed at the same time.

While the syrup was still hot and relatively soft, everyone picked up their kitchen knives to cut the sugar.

Mrs. Liu was waiting aside like the children, waiting for this critical moment.

Of course, Mrs. Liu originally wanted to cut the candies together, but due to what happened before... almost everyone took away Mrs. Liu's kitchen knife in a tacit understanding.

Especially Cao Bamei, she tried her best not to let Mrs. Liu be "involved" and just let her watch the children and eat sweets together.

As long as she could eat sweets and not have to work, Liu would love it.

When the atmosphere at Yang Huazhong's house was so good that it was almost overflowing, Jiang Guiling came over from the front yard with her child in her arms, walking very hastily.

When Bao Suyun saw them, she quickly put down her kitchen knife and went over to support them.

"Go slower."

"Mom, please don't wait. I have something urgent to tell my uncle, my third uncle, my fourth uncle, and my father."

"ah?"

"Come, help me hold the baby."

The granddaughter was thrust into Bao Suyun's hands, and Jiang Guiling rushed to Yang Huazhong and the others.

"Third uncle, I was walking around the gate of the courtyard with my child in my arms, and I saw Lao Wang's family pulling a cart. There was a woman lying on the quilt on the cart. Uncle Shuanzi's eldest sister was also following the woman!"

"Ah? A woman? What kind of woman? Is she pretty?"

Before Yang Huazhong could react, Yang Huaming jumped out.

But the focus is a bit awkward.

Jiang Guiling smiled dryly and glanced over at Mrs. Liu who wanted to throw herself against the wooden door and gnaw on the candy. "Everyone has their own preferences for radishes and vegetables. My aesthetic taste is different from that of my fourth uncle. I can't answer this question."

Yang Huaming chuckled and said in a low voice: "As long as she is more beautiful than your fourth aunt, she is good-looking."

Jiang Guiling rolled her eyes, turned away and ignored Yang Huaming.
