But when I passed the old maple tree at the entrance of the village, I met Mr. Tan.

Mrs. Tan stood under the old maple tree with her hands folded, staring at her with a bluffing face. They were obviously waiting for her here!

Xiu Xiu was startled for a moment, and instinctively wanted to find a place to hide, because she had been afraid of her great-grandmother since she was a child.

"Why are you hiding? I saw you with one eye!" Ms. Tan shouted angrily.

Xiuxiu stood there awkwardly, then slowly moved towards Tan.

"Grandma, if you don't take a nap in the room, why are you standing here?" Xiuxiu smiled and matched Tan's behavior.

But Tan said angrily: "You girl, you have lost your mind. The marriage in the Li family is not good. That boy Li Wei is not a good son-in-law. There will be a time in the future when you cry!"

Xiu Xiu was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the old lady was waiting here to say those unpleasant words.

The smile on Xiuxiu's face instantly disappeared without a trace. She raised her neck and said to Mrs. Tan: "Even if everyone in the world says that Li Wei is not good, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think he is good!"

"You're a heartless and silly girl, don't worry, you'll be sold later and you still count the money!" Mrs. Tan pointed at Xiuxiu's nose and said.

Xiu Xiu sneered, but her eyes were very confident: "Li Wei is not that kind of person. He cares about me and will not marry me unless I am!"

In this case, although it was indeed Li Yi's father-in-law who did something wrong at the beginning, the subsequent series of actions to break off the engagement slapped Li Wei in the face, causing Li Weilai to bear the pain.

But what about Li Wei?

She did not give up on this marriage because of this. Just as Li Wei said to her today, if she comes to propose marriage again today, if it fails, he will come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day after that.

Even if his parents and the old Yang family asked him to kneel down and kowtow, he would not frown.

In short, he tried his best to get her parents' permission to marry her.

Xiu Xiu is now surrounded by happiness, as if she is soaked in a honey jar, so sweet that she can't even melt it away.

"Grandma, I don't have to worry about my marriage anymore. I have parents. My parents have already made up their minds. You should go back to your old house and rest!"

No matter who they are, Xiuxiu will never give face to those who slander Li Wei.

"You damn girl, who are you talking to? I'm doing this for your own good, what's your attitude?"

Tan's anger was also completely aroused.

She pointed at Xiuxiu's nose and cursed: "If it weren't for the fact that your father is my eldest son, I wouldn't even bother to listen to your story!"

Xiu Xiu snorted: "Then don't listen. Why do you want to listen? If you listen, won't it cause trouble for yourself?"

Mrs. Tan was so angry that she slapped Xiuxiu.

But Xiuxiu had been on guard for a long time, and her head dodged Tan's slap, and then she ran away.

Tan couldn't catch up, so she turned around angrily, stamped her little feet and ran away in the direction of Xiuxiu, yelling: "You ignorant, dead girl, you have an ulterior motive, it's a wolf's den, a tiger's den, or a pit of fire. Just be stupid and jump in there. You are stupid, and your parents are also stupid. They can't stop you even if they want to die. What the hell! Sooner or later, you will cry!"

Mr. Tan stood under the old maple tree and cursed, when someone happened to come nearby.

Hearing this, he asked out of curiosity: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Who are you angry with?"

Mrs. Tan turned her head and looked at the person coming.

She is the daughter-in-law of a family in the village, about the same age as Ms. Liu.

On weekdays, he and Mrs. Liu move around frequently and often make irresponsible remarks together.

Mrs. Tan couldn't stand this kind of woman the most. She spat on the ground and said, "I want you to take care of her!"

Then, walk away.

The woman blinked, and when Tan took a few steps away, she also reacted.

He also spat on the ground and muttered: "Crazy woman, I don't care about you!"

…

In the blink of an eye, it's the Dragon Boat Festival.

During this year's Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Huazhong's family was very lively.

why?

Because not only the two married girls, Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Duo, took their children back to their parents' homes for the holidays, this year Xiao An and He Lian'er were also there, with their sons and daughters, and reunited with their families.

Although it was raining early on the Dragon Boat Festival, the atmosphere at home was very good.

The doorways and window sills are all covered with wormwood with water drops.

In the countryside, it is very heroic.

The wormwood is taller than a human being and is everywhere in the fields. There are bundles of wormwood at the door, and the fresh smell of wormwood is wafting in the air.

"I went to cut mugwort in the morning, and I met your four uncles and four aunts as soon as I went out."

In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun was frying sugar dumplings while talking to Yang Ruoqing and Xiao An next to her.

Fried sugar dumplings are a traditional habit here, and they are fried and eaten every Dragon Boat Festival.

The ingredients are wheat flour, knead a little egg, add sugar, shape it into a triangle shape, or a curved moon shape, put it in a pan and fry it.

Fry until crispy and golden in color, then fish it out and put it aside to filter the oil. It can be stored for a long time without going bad.

Both adults and children like to eat it, but it is not very friendly to the elderly because they have bad teeth.

But it was different in Lao Yang's house. Lao Yangtou and Tan both had good teeth, so the sugar dumplings crunched and crunched when they ate them.

"Meet my fourth uncle and fourth aunt? Are they going to Liujia Village, the fourth aunt's natal home?"

Yang Ruoqing asked as she picked up a piece of sugar dumpling from the basket next to her and chewed it.

Yeah, it's delicious, the sugar content is just right.

By this time next year, Tuan Tuan Yuan will be over a year old and ready to eat.

"I asked, are they going to Liujia Village?" said Sun.

"Where are we going? Is it possible to go to Ju'er's place to celebrate the festival? That's not right. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Ju'er and the others should come back to celebrate the festival with them." Yang Ruoqing added.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Your fourth uncle and four aunt are pulling a cart. The cart is full of mugwort, bundled ready."

"The couple didn't sleep a wink last night. They were both cutting mugwort outside. They said they would send it to the tile market in town to sell it today."

"Haha, these things are everywhere here, and they are not valuable. They are really..."

Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, He Lian'er, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"Mom, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are so smart about making money. The mugwort can be sold for a lot of money every Dragon Boat Festival in the city!" she said.

Xiao An also nodded while eating: "Yes, I have seen it too. Many people in the city have no fields. They want to plant mugwort during the festival, but they don't want to dig it in the wild. It would be better to spend a few brothers and a few pennies to buy ready-made ones.

!”

"Ah? Can this thing really be sold for money?" Ms. Sun paused in her movements and turned her head to look at them in disbelief.

This time, even Yang Ruoqing nodded; "You can't sell it for much, but you can sell it for a few bucks. It should be enough to celebrate the festival with meat!"

Sun immediately put down the big chopsticks in her hand, turned around and rushed outside the kitchen...
