Is that so? Yang Huazhong then looked at Yang Ruoqing and asked for her opinion.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Since this is what my uncle wants, then dad, don't refuse and let the brothers and sisters help you put up the couplets here first!"

Dazhi and Luo Baobao nodded in unison.

Yang Huazhong then smiled and said: "That's fine, there are more people and strength. Later we will finish posting here and then go to Luo's house to post couplets together!"

Yang Huazhong and others went out to post couplets, leaving Yang Ruoqing and Sun's mother and daughter alone in the room.

The smile on Sun's face faded and turned into a sad one.

"Your father, he promised too much today, I'm really annoyed with him." Mrs. Sun said again.

Yang Ruoqing didn't think anything of it, "My father is very kind, especially to my aunt. He can't bear to say no."

Mrs. Sun sighed softly.

"Originally, I was thinking of leaving tomorrow for our reunion, but now the children from both families came to visit together..."

Sun didn't say the rest of the words, but Yang Ruoqing understood what she wanted to express.

Isn’t it just that if the two families come to visit together, the aura of reunion will be robbed?

Yang Ruoqing was amused by Sun's cute side after seeing through the little thoughts of her bun lady.

"Mom, it's okay, it's okay. There are so many people and it's so exciting. It's a double happiness. How wonderful it is!"

"Hey, Qing'er, you don't understand. I just feel aggrieved."

"Hey, what's the point of grievance? Mom, don't think too much, we are very happy."

Mrs. Sun thought for a while, "Well, let's have a grand party later when we have a 100-day reunion."

Yang Ruoqing didn't nod or shake her head, she just smiled and said: "We'll talk about it later. Right now, Mom, you have to go to the kitchen to cook the New Year's Eve dinner. Dad and the others will have something to eat to fill their stomachs after posting the couplets, and they have to go there in the afternoon.

The Tutu Temple at the south end of the village is burning incense."

Ms. Sun was urged to go to the kitchen to work, and Yang Ruoqing went over to see her parents' New Year's Eve dinner.

As a hometown dish, the double-tank meatballs and meatloaf have a solid position, firmly occupying the C position and cannot be shaken.

Candied dates with frosting on the surface are also a common dish at New Year’s Eve dinners, representing sweetness.

Black sesame and glutinous rice dumplings are also a regular guest, symbolizing reunion.

Braised fish is indispensable. If the weather (rain) is good, there will be plenty of fish (surplus) every year.

In addition, chickens, ducks, shrimps, cattle and sheep are also included.

"It's all meat, will it be too greasy? Why don't you prepare some vegetarian dishes to remove the oil?" Yang Ruoqing looked around and asked Sun and Xiaohua.

Mrs. Sun smiled lovingly and said: "You must have hard food for the New Year's Eve dinner..."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Our family is different from the past. We can usually eat hard dishes. The dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner should also pay attention to the balance of meat and vegetables. Otherwise, you will get angry after a meal and you will have small pimples on your face."

, it’s hard for a child to pull daddy directly.”

Sun's temperament is the easiest to be persuaded. She was shaken immediately and turned to look at Xiao Hua: "Ah? Is that so? Then Hua, how about we..."

Xiaohua pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, don't worry, I've prepared everything in advance!"

She stood up on tiptoes and took off a bamboo basket hanging on a wooden post on the wall. Water was still filtering under the basket.

"Well, half a basket of cabbage, half a basket of spinach, and besides, I also steamed wolfberry pears to lubricate the stomachs of Feng'er and Fuwa."

Mrs. Sun was about to praise her, but when she heard the last sentence, her expression changed, "Instead of steaming pears for New Year's Eve dinner, how about replacing it with apples? Oranges will do, too?"

Xiaohua was stunned.

Yang Ruoqing next to her understood it clearly.

Pear, homophonic to "li".

Mr. Sun is very particular about this.

Gu "Hua'er, just listen to my mother and change the fruit to a nicer name." Yang Ruoqing also offered suggestions and winked at Xiao Hua.

Xiaohua also thought of something at this time. She laughed, but nodded happily, "Okay, I'll change it right now."

Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua smiled knowingly, "Okay, respect the tradition and be lucky."

When the Luo family's couplets were put up, bursts of firecrackers began to be heard from the Tutu Temple at the south end of the village.

Blacksmith Luo urged: "Hurry up, everyone has gone to celebrate the New Year!"

Wang Cuilian came over, carrying a bamboo basket with a piece of clean cloth on top.

"Come on, come on, let's take a break and eat something to pacify your stomach!"

When the cloth was uncovered, the steaming inside turned out to be soft cornmeal steamed buns.

"You made so many steamed buns and we ate them. Do we still have the stomach for New Year's Eve dinner at night?"

Blacksmith Luo questioned, but he still took the lead and took a steamed bun from the basket to support his old wife, so as not to let her hard work go in vain.

Wang Cuilian said with a smile: "This steamed bun looks so big that if you squeeze it in the palm of your hand, it will be nothing. Besides, there are still one or two hours before the New Year's Eve dinner. I don't need to occupy my stomach to eat the New Year's Eve dinner."

So each person had one in his hand, and Yang Huazhong and Daan both said thank you and grabbed it with a smile and ate it.

Yang Ruoqing took a look and found that if this person was handsome and elegant, like Da'an Dazhi, he would be more elegant and handsome than others even if he was squatting on the ground eating steamed buns.

The same chewing action is more eye-catching for them than others.

Look at Baby Luo again.

Yang Ruoqing really doubted whether the child she gave birth to was a tomboy.

This posture of eating steamed buns is not ordinary and heroic. It is not as reserved as other girls. They tear off small bites and put them into their mouths. They keep their mouths closed while chewing, and they are determined not to let others hear the sound.

Let others see the teeth.

However, there are thousands of flowers blooming, each with one branch.

If she is coquettish, pretending to be reserved, soft, weak, and coquettish, then she is not Baby Luo.

With heroic demeanor and heroic spirit, this is Baby Luo.

Just after taking a few bites of the steamed buns, there was sudden movement outside.

Blacksmith Luo went to the front yard while eating the steamed buns, and soon a loud voice came back to the backyard: "Qing'er, come here quickly, the Zuo family is here to send a New Year's gift!"

Yang Ruoqing raised her head, thinking she heard wrongly.

Or maybe the uncle made a mistake? The Zuo family sent a New Year's gift to this place around the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it also included a personal letter from Zuo Junmo.

Of course, the Luo family’s New Year’s gifts were sent to the Zuo family early.

Why is the Zuo family sending another New Year's gift just now?

Soon, things were moved to the backyard.

It was such a big box that it was difficult for two strong men to lift it.

After they put down the box, they cupped their fists and bowed their hands to Yang Ruoqing and others, explaining their purpose of coming.

"Mrs. Luo, this is a New Year's gift from my young master to the young lady. They are said to be small gadgets. I hope the young lady will accept them."

Yang Ruoqing was stunned again. Is this what Zuo Jingling gave to Luo Baobao?

She then turned to look at Luo Baobao.

Luo Baobao originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with her and was the friendship between Zuo's uncle and her mother. But when she heard this, she was so shocked that she opened her eyes wide and looked at the heavy box.

"What the hell? Let me see, let me see!"
