Changping Village, Lao Wang’s house.

"Auntie, we won't go in and sit down. This is the beef Xiaoduo asked us to bring you. Please accept it."

Yang Ruoqing spoke while Luo Fengtang handed over the beef.

When Yang Huamei heard this, she was surprised when she saw the good quality and fresh beef in Luo Fengtang's basket.

"Who? Xiaoduo brought it? I didn't buy beef from her?" Yang Huamei couldn't react.

Although Xiaoduo also calls her aunt, her relationship with Xiaoduo is not that close compared to other nieces who are related by blood.

When Xiaoduo married into the Xiang family, she symbolically took some eggs, cloth, etc. and went to her third brother's house for a meal. She had no contact with the Xiang family village after her marriage.

Even when they were slaughtering cows in the pasture a year ago, the old Wang family did not go over to take care of the Xiang family's business after weighing the situation.

"Auntie, you don't need to pay for this beef. Xiaoduo gave it to you. It's three kilograms, so you can just accept it." Yang Ruoqing added a few more words with a smile, then took the basket from Luo Fengtang's hand,

It was stuffed directly into Yang Huamei's hands.

Yang Huamei looked at the beef in the basket, and then at the two people in front of her. Her face was filled with surprise, emotion, and some shame.

He kept saying: "Why are you so polite, Xiaoduo? Beef is so expensive that most people can't afford it. This gift is too heavy, so I can't ask for it..."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Auntie, please don't refuse. She will give it to you, and you can continue."

"Why are you so embarrassed? Her children have never eaten a bite of food from my aunt's house..."

"Auntie, please don't be polite. We have a long way to go. Take it, take it. It's time for us to go back."

Yang Huamei was still embarrassed to accept it, and Dabai was also saying polite words beside her.

But Xiao Hei's eyes, staring straight at the beef, almost made his mouth water.

In the end, Yang Huamei accepted the beef and said some kind words to Yang Ruoqing before sending them out of the yard.

After the couple left, Yang Huamei looked at the three kilograms of beef in her hand and sighed: "Xiaoduo is really thoughtful. She still misses my aunt. I don't know how much three kilograms of beef is worth."

Dabai had opened a shop in the town before, so he knew the market situation in this area.

"Pork costs fifteen or eighteen cents per catty, and beef is much more expensive than pork. People who don't have that kind of relationship are not allowed by the government to slaughter cattle for farming, so beef is only sold occasionally in Wa City.

The cheapest scraps cost at least fifty or sixty pennies per pound."

"Fresh lean beef like this costs at least eighty or ninety cents per pound!"

"Huh? That three kilograms is worth hundreds of pennies!" Yang Huamei said in surprise.

Dabai nodded, "It's almost the same, but this beef is indeed a good thing. It's nourishing and tonic. It's hard to get."

"My dear, dear sir, do you want to eat this beef if it is cooked at noon?"

A black whirlwind blew into the kitchen. Xiao Hei lost his balance and almost fell face first into the basket of beef.

Yang Huamei was so angry and funny that she patted his forehead gently: "You are so impatient that it looks like you haven't eaten for three days. Go away!"

Xiao Hei reached out with both hands, grabbed the raw beef in the basket and held it in his arms, "I want to eat, I want to eat. I haven't eaten beef for a long time. The last time I had a banquet at home, there was no beef..."

"Brother, shut up!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as Dabai finished speaking, Xiao Hei received a heavy slap on the head.

The person who made the move was still Yang Huamei, but this slap was much heavier than the previous one.

"Xiao Hei, you bastard, do you think you can talk like this?"

"We held a banquet last time. Why did we hold a banquet? Your father died. He died. Do you understand?"

"You don't have a father anymore, do you understand? Do you feel comfortable eating the meatballs and patties? You are still thinking about not eating beef. Your father is gone and you still want to eat. How can you kid?

Not sensible? I really praised you wrongly. You are deliberately trying to make me angry to death!"

Yang Huamei was crying and scolding, and slapped Xiao Hei on the head, face, and shoulders.

Xiao Hei was also so frightened that he hugged the beef and hid behind him.

When Dabai saw this, he snatched the beef from Xiao Hei's arms and threw it into the basket, then pushed him out, "Go back to the room quickly and face the wall to think about your fault. You are not allowed to come out until you have lunch at noon!"

Xiao Hei escaped from the kitchen with his tail between his legs and ran into his house in a panic.

In the kitchen, Yang Huamei was still crying.

Dabai held Yang Huamei's shoulders and comforted him: "Mom, don't be angry. My brother is young and doesn't know how to speak. He actually doesn't think that way..."

Yang Huamei shook her head, "What do you mean by being young? He only came out a bowl of tea later than you, and his brain was damaged by studying..."

Dabai smiled bitterly: "Mom, let me help you go back to the house to rest first. Don't worry about the kitchen. I will let Hongmei take care of it later, and you can go back to the house and sleep for a while."

Just like that, Yang Huamei was helped out of the kitchen by Dabai. Hongmei from the opposite room heard the noise and came out. Dabai gave her a simple explanation.

Hongmei immediately rolled up her sleeves and looked for an apron, "Leave the kitchen to me. Dabai, just concentrate on staying with your mother."

When this sentence reached Yang Huamei's ears, she was somewhat relieved.

Although Xiao Hei is not sensible, Dabai and Hongmei are still considerate. This may be called worrying about gains and losses!

"Dabai, you don't have to accompany me. Go to the kitchen and help Hongmei. It's not good for her to be a twin." Yang Huamei said again.

"Mom, if Hongmei knew you cared about her like this, I don't know how moved she would be."

"Hey, I'm thinking about my grandson. Who cares about her?"

I guess Yang Huamei didn't realize it herself. Her tough-tongued temper was completely inherited from the Tan family.

Dabai stood up and asked Yang Huamei before leaving: "Mom, how do you plan to eat the beef? I will ask Hongmei to do as you said."

Yang Huamei waved her hand: "You can eat it any way you like. The beef stuff and the straw-roasted stuff both taste good. You can make up your own mind."

"Okay, then I'll get to work first."

"By the way, Dabai, I have something else I want to ask you."

"What's the matter, mother?"

"Dabai, when are you going to go out to do business?"

"It's probably just these days, what's up?"

"Dabai, what do you think if you don't go out to do business and stay at home, and my mother will help you find a job?"

"Mom, what kind of job do you want to do for me?" Dabai smiled.

He pointed to his feet, "I'm a bit lame. Walking long distances or crossing mountains and ridges will hinder others. I can't do things like transport teams and herb collection teams."

"As for the Taoist temple, there is only one carrot and one pit, so we don't need so many people."
