Changping Village.

Mrs. Sun was making glutinous rice balls in the backyard. There were two basins, one large and one small, on the small table in the kitchen. The larger basin was filled with dough, and the smaller basin was filled with fillings.

There was also a sieve on the side, with a layer of white steamer gauze padded on the sieve. Mrs. Sun placed the wrapped glutinous rice balls neatly and orderly in the sieve.

"Hey, I'm a good boy. Sister-in-law, you've been so generous this year. You've made such a big glutinous rice dumpling. You can't even make it in one bite!"

Mrs. Liu came to the table and leaned down to look at the glutinous rice balls in the sieve. Each one was almost as big as a pigeon egg. It was rounder, smoother and more attractive than pigeon eggs.

Sun's work and speech are correct, "In previous years, the glutinous rice balls were not enough to eat. This year I made some more, half boiled and half fried. The fried ones were sent to Da'an and Hua'er to take them to the capital."

There are also some that I can take to the He family by the way. Anyway, I will leave for Qing'an County in the next two days.

"Sister-in-law, when will the pot be served?" Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to ask. The ingredients were so abundant and the presentation was so beautiful. She really wanted to eat it as soon as possible.

How could Mrs. Sun not understand what Mr. Liu meant? She smiled and said, "Pack five or six more and put them in the pot."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you pack it together."

Seeing Ms. Liu pull up her sleeves, Ms. Sun had no objection at first. More people bring more strength.

Suddenly, I remembered what Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua had repeatedly warned before, never let Fourth Aunt interfere with the food at home.

If you really can't resist the fourth aunt's attentiveness, you must let her wash her hands first, and she must wash them with scented soap.

"No, just rest." Mrs. Sun said.

"Oh, two people are faster, and we are not outsiders." Mrs. Liu said.

Mrs. Sun then stopped what she was doing and said, "Then wash your hands first."

"No need to bother, my hands are clean."

When Mrs. Liu said this, she seemed to have forgotten that she had grabbed the melon seeds all morning and ate them. She also picked her nose twice and scratched her back...

"Your hands are all black. If you don't wash them, the white glutinous rice balls will turn into black glutinous rice balls. You'd better wash them and I'll get you some water."

Mrs. Sun really put down her work and went to get the basin.

Ms. Liu curled her lips and said, "How come you have to pay so much attention to how many glutinous rice balls you pack? It's really troublesome."

Hot water was brought quickly, and Mrs. Sun also prepared fragrant rice noodles and handkerchiefs.

Mrs. Liu obediently washed her hands, and her sister-in-law stood together and started making glutinous rice balls. Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered her purpose.

"Third sister-in-law, let me tell you something, I'm sure it will scare you."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"That Jiang Xianjun, let's get married!"

Mrs. Sun paused in her movements and turned to look at Ms. Liu: "Who? Jiang Xianjun? Which Jiang Xianjun?"

Mrs. Liu was happy, "Look at this question, how many Jiang Xianjuns can there be in our village? Of course it is the Jiang Xianjun who broke off the engagement with me Mianmian, the son of that shrew!"

"About marriage? How did you know?"

"I just saw it with my own eyes. A girl named Xiaoqin from Xiangjiazhuang was walking arm in arm in the field. Jiang Xianjun was also carrying a big basket. It looked like he was probably sending Xiaoqin home.

In Xiangjiazhuang, the two of them were talking and laughing while walking, and they were so close to each other. Ouch, it made me angry when I saw it! "

Mrs. Sun's hand slowly began to wrap glutinous rice balls again, but it was obvious that her mind was no longer on the glutinous rice balls in her hand.

"When did this happen? There was no news in the village..." Mrs. Sun murmured, but she was worried that the news would spread to the fifth house. Not to mention that Lao Wu and the others were ugly, the daughter Mianmian was probably worried.

Not comfortable.

"Third sister-in-law, someone in the village knows about this. We live far away from the Jiang family, and we don't go around with the Jiang family, so we are kept in the dark."

"However, I looked at it from behind. Regardless of her figure or appearance, that Xiaoqin is definitely not enough to carry our shoes."

Sun smiled bitterly.

"That's what you say, but less than half a year after they broke off their engagement, the Jiang family made an engagement for their son. This matter fell into the eyes of outsiders. No matter what, it will bring trouble to the fifth family of the Yang family."

"Third sister-in-law, do you want to mention this matter to Su Yunna?" Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Sun again.

Sun thought for a moment and shook her head.

"It's better not to say anything, so as not to worry Suyun."

"But we can't hide this matter. Suyun will find out sooner or later."

"Then you will know later. Today is the Lantern Festival. Lao Wu will go back to Qing'an County after celebrating the Lantern Festival. Let their family have a good holiday today!"

Mrs. Liu had to resist the urge to rush to the fifth room to report the news, "Okay then."

Let them have a good holiday today, and she will tell Su Yun tomorrow so that Su Yun can be mentally prepared.

Mrs. Liu severely condemned the Jiang family again, and the scolding became more and more unpleasant, even including curses.

Mrs. Sun couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Mrs. Liu: "Fourth brother and sister, I know you also feel sorry for me, Mianmian, but some things depend on fate. This only means that Mianmian and Jiang Xianjun are not destined. Please stop scolding me.

It's useless to scold him, but it will only damage his moral character."

"Hey, third sister-in-law, you are so kind! Well, I'll give you face and won't scold you."

"Well, just don't scold her. On the contrary, we have to act indifferent, especially in front of Suyun and others." Mrs. Sun told Mrs. Liu patiently.

In front of Suyun, he wanted to appease her and persuade her that this was nothing to worry about and that Mianmian would find a better husband in the future.

Being calm in front of outsiders is because you don’t want to be laughed at by outsiders.

Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly, "What the third sister-in-law said makes sense. We are too lazy to take care of the Jiang family's troubles. No matter what they do, it won't interfere with our business."

Mrs. Sun smiled reassuringly, walked over and opened the lid of the pot, "The glutinous rice balls are almost ready."

Mrs. Liu immediately rushed to the cupboard where the dishes and chopsticks were stored, "I'll get the bowls."

Lao Wang's family.

The closer she got to the courtyard gate of Lao Wang's house, the faster her steps became. At the same time, she also imagined the scene that was about to appear in her mind:

Yang Huamei was busy alone in the smoky kitchen without even touching the floor. After a while, she was choked by the spicy oily fumes of the cooking, causing her to cough and shed tears.

Dabai and Hongmei were whispering in the room. Now you feed me a snack, and then I give you a piece of candy.

Xiao Hei was playing with the dog in the yard, and Wang Hongquan was sitting in the yard basking in the sun with his eyes squinted. When the tea in the bowl was empty, he shouted towards the kitchen, and then Yang Huamei came out with a hot water jug ​​and quickly refilled Wang Hongquan's water.

Xiao Hei also asked: "Mom, when are you going to eat? I'm starving."

Dabai also poked his head out of the window: "Mom, isn't the food ready yet? Your eldest grandson is hungry. He should cook it faster."

Then, Wang Hongquan fanned the flames: "It doesn't cost you anything to work as a foreigner or even make a meal. Whose mother-in-law spends time like you?"
