"Auntie is smart and saw through my thoughts right away." Yao Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and a shy blush appeared on Yun Run's face.

She glanced at the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and continued: "I want to leave some food for Dazhi to put in the pot to warm. It will be ready for you to eat whenever you want, and you won't end up eating our leftovers cold."

Zhi."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, her eyes filled with approval and satisfaction for Yao Ying's move.

Wang Cuilian also praised: "Yao Ying, you are really a careful person, so I will help you."

Yao Ying smiled and shook her head, filled Dazhi with a full bowl of vegetables and a bowl of soup, and turned back to the kitchen.

Yao Yue and You Rongyan glanced at Huang Guier again, their eyes filled with pride.

Huang Guier's face turned red and she felt like sitting there on pins and needles, especially when Yao Yue showed off her with such eyes, she felt even more uncomfortable.

So I reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls and then found an excuse to leave the canteen.

Wang Cuilian said: "If you only eat a few mouthfuls, you will be hungry soon, what should you do?"

Yao Yue grabbed the conversation and said: "Don't worry, grandma, she is a rat. There are a bunch of delicious snacks hidden in the house, so she won't be hungry!"

Huang Guier paused, and was about to turn around and talk back to Yao Yue, when she heard Yao Ying's gentle voice again: "There is enough food in the pot. If Guier is hungry, she and Da Zhi can have some more bites later.

"

Wang Cuilian praised Yao Ying again: "Okay, okay, Yao Ying, you are so thoughtful, so I'm relieved!"

Huang Guier raised her feet and walked away, suddenly feeling that facing the Yao sisters, she would suffer even if her back was covered with mouths.

One of the two sisters sang the red face, and the other played the bad face. They sang and acted so well. They took away all their good reputations. And that Yao Yue is just a stupid roe deer, bah!

…

There was nothing going on at home in the afternoon. Since Yao Ying and Yao Yue came, there were suddenly more people at home to help take care of the children.

De'er, Yang Ruoqing took advantage of the fact that sisters Yao Ying, Luo Baobao, and Wang Cuilian were all helping to take care of the baby in the dormitory. Xiao Qiao was recuperating in the room, Da Zhi was thinking about life events in the study, and Huang Guier was sulking... So Yang Ruoqing slipped away by herself.

I went to visit my mother-in-law.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. This year is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, so we will celebrate the new year tomorrow.

The New Year necessities that should be bought during the year should be almost done by this point.

The pickled goods were basically hung under the roof beams. This era was different from later generations. 90% of the villagers basically stayed at home to farm. The few who did business and worked outside also came back in time for the twelfth lunar month.

The New Year pigs are killed before the New Year, the New Year sugar is boiled, the New Year tofu is made, and the dust is blown up. Everything is basically in place.

I'm just waiting to go to the mountains to worship my ancestors tomorrow, and when I come back, I'll go to the ancestral hall to burn incense for my ancestors. After that, I'll have the New Year's Eve dinner and start celebrating the new year.

When Yang Ruoqing entered the yard of her parents' house, she immediately saw Xiaohua sweeping the yard. Fuwa was standing in the middle of the yard holding a small windmill and playing with her cheeks.

"Hua'er, why are you sweeping the yard alone? Where's Da'an? Why didn't he come to help you?"

Yang Ruoqing came to her niece Fubao, knelt down and teased her, then raised her head to ask Xiaohua.

Although Da'an was the number one scholar, and now he is an official in the capital, in the eyes of others, he is like a carp jumping out of the farm circle.

However, at home, in the eyes of sister Yang Ruoqing, he will always be the younger brother.

My sister-in-law was doing housework, and he, a grown-up man, dared to stretch out his legs and hide in the side to see if she wouldn't hurt his legs!

Xiaohua immediately sensed the hidden ferocity of eagerness to try from Yang Ruoqing's smiling question, and immediately explained to her: "Sister, don't get me wrong, Da'an didn't take time off, Feng'er made a few mistakes in his article today.

, there are still two poems that are not up to par, Daan is tutoring Feng'er in his studies in the backyard study!"

When Gu followed Xiaohua's explanation, she clearly felt that the anger rising on her sister's back instantly retreated, and she smiled kindly.

"Oh, so that's what happened. Then you and your wife have an orderly division of labor, which is good."

"By the way, this yard isn't very dirty. Why are you sweeping it at this time?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Don’t you usually sweep the yard after getting up in the morning? Why are you sweeping the yard in the afternoon?

"Sister, what's going on is that we can't celebrate the New Year tomorrow. We have to go to the mountains after breakfast, we have to go to the ancestral hall and Tutu Temple in the afternoon, and we have to post Spring Festival couplets when we get home. I must be too busy to have time."

"After the New Year's Eve dinner, I don't feel like cleaning the yard, so I told my mother before that I would tidy up the yard while I have some free time, so that I can make a place for the children to set off fireworks."

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, you arranged it very well. I'll clean it for you."

Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves and was about to find a broom, but was stopped by Xiaohua.

"No, no, no, there's not much work, so we don't need so many people."

"Sister, I feel sorry for you."

Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sister, don't feel bad. What kind of tiring work can you do? It's really uncomfortable for me to sit there and warm myself by the fire. It's better to work in the ground and sweat."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, that's true. What about our mother?"

"Mom is in the house. The fourth and fifth aunts are also there. Mom is drinking tea and talking with the two aunts!" Uncle Xiaohua.

Yang Ruoqing said "Oh", "Okay, then I'll go in and take a look around."

Then he touched the little Fuwa's face and said, "Would you like to come in with aunt to warm yourself by the fire?"

Little Fu Bao shook her head like something, holding up the windmill and blowing hard. The windmill didn't spin, and her own snot bubbles inflated.

Yang Ruoqing was so happy that she took out her handkerchief and wiped the snot bubbles from her niece's nose.

Xiaohua watched from the side and said with a smile: "Yeah, I don't know which little windmill was made for her, but it turned around and blew out two toad faces. It's so ugly."

Yang Ruoqing, an aunt, didn't like hearing this and immediately protected her.

"Hua'er, you're just talking nonsense. My Fuwa has beautiful features and beautiful eyes. What's wrong with the toad? There's also a toad princess in the toad. Is it because of your heart or your liver?"

The little Fuwa was playing enthusiastically, but she ignored Yang Ruoqing's efforts to protect the calf. Instead, she thought she was squatting in front of her to block her efforts, so she pushed Yang Ruoqing away with her little hands and continued to play.

Yang Ruoqing stood up and gritted her teeth deliberately: "You little white-eyed wolf, I don't care about you!"

In the main room, there was a big fire barrel. Mrs. Liu dominated the room. Mrs. Sun next to her put her feet in. Bao Suyun did not sit on the fire barrel, but sat quietly on a stool beside her, holding a tea bowl.

On the table next to me were melon seeds, broad beans, and sweet and crisp peanuts fried with sugar and rapeseed.

"Oh, this afternoon tea is pretty good, I'm here to join in the fun!"

Yang Ruoqing entered the main room with a smile and went straight to pour herself tea.

Hey, don't mention it. In winter, women sit together and chat. Melon seeds and tea are two indispensable artifacts. Without these two things, chatting has no soul.
