"Qing'er, come on, come on, come and sit in the fire barrel. It's so warm in here that it makes Fourth Aunt's feet itch to death."

As soon as Mrs. Liu saw Yang Ruoqing, she felt like she had met a soulmate, and her waving hands were as cute as a lucky cat.

Yang Ruoqing originally smiled and said hello, holding hot tea in one hand and dragging the stool to the fire barrel with the other hand, and stuffed her feet and shoes into the fire barrel.

Mrs. Liu became anxious, "We all took off our shoes when we came in, why don't you take them off?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Fourth Aunt, you have athlete's foot, I'm afraid I'll catch your athlete's foot!"

Mrs. Liu subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat Yang Ruoqing's arm. Seeing that she was holding a bowl of hot tea in her hand, she took her hand back and scolded Yang Ruoqing with a smile: "You unlucky child, you are talking nonsense. Fourth Aunt's feet are fine!"

"Fourth Aunt, if your feet are itchy, you have athlete's foot. If you don't believe me, ask my mother and my fifth aunt to see if they are itching in the grooves of your feet because of the fire!"

Mrs. Liu didn't believe it, so she turned around to look at Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun.

Mrs. Sun said truthfully: "I really don't feel itchy."

Bao Suyun also nodded, "I don't have that kind of situation either. Sister-in-law Fourth, are you itchy a little bit? Or is it itchy very much?"

Mrs. Liu wanted to say, 'It's so itchy that I wish I could use a plane to flatten that piece of meat'.

When the words came to her lips, Ms. Liu changed her words: "I'm fine too. I don't feel the itching anymore if I don't pay attention to it..."

"Fourth brother and sister, you're still not paying attention. Ever since you sat down here, I've been worried that you might have scratched your toes."

Sun actually said this out of concern, but to Liu's ears, these words undoubtedly meant a last resort.

"Third sister-in-law, how can I have it? You've made a mistake!"

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment. There were only two of their feet in the fire bucket. Suyun didn't sit on it. Qing'er had just sat on it. Previously, the four younger siblings had been rubbing their feet against each other, causing Mrs. Sun's feet to keep moving to the side.

shrink.

"Fourth Aunt, athlete's foot is not a shameful thing, so don't argue with that person until you blush and get thick-necked!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, covering the old clothes on her legs again.

"You insist on washing your feet twice a day, changing two pairs of socks, and eating less spicy food. When appropriate, ask Brother Wangsheng for some ointment to wipe the grooves of your feet. Don't pick or scratch. It will improve soon."

Yang Ruoqing's suggestion just made Liu curl her lips, not showing any appreciation.

Yang Ruoqing chuckled and didn't expect Ms. Liu to appreciate her. She was probably annoyed at the moment, feeling that she had exposed her shortcomings.

But Yang Ruoqing had a clever trick to dispel Liu's unhappiness in an instant.

"Fourth Aunt, I didn't go to the fifth room for dinner at noon. Do you have anything new to tell me?"

That's right, there are three tricks.

1. Give food to please Mrs. Liu.

Second, gossip about Mrs. Liu.

Third, go to Mrs. Liu to inquire about gossip.

Yang Ruoqing had tried these three methods countless times, and they proved to be effective every time they were tried.

Well, no, as soon as Mrs. Liu heard that Yang Ruoqing was asking her about gossip, she immediately had no time to be embarrassed about athlete's foot.

"Haha, Qing'er still understands me. Hehe, my fourth aunt really has something to do here. I didn't even bother to tell your mother and your fifth aunt. I just kept it waiting for you to come over so I can tell you!"

Seeing Mrs. Liu's face as she was offering treasures, Yang Ruoqing quickly grabbed the sugar peanuts on the table and brought them to Mrs. Liu: "Here, let's take a bite before talking."

Mrs. Liu casually grabbed a handful and held it in the palm of her hand, bitten two pills, and then told Yang Ruoqing: "It's about your aunt's family. You haven't heard about it, have you?"

Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened: "My aunt's family? Is it just these days or something from the past?"

If it had happened in the past, it would have been fried leftover rice, and it was hard to chew at all!

Mrs. Liu glared at Yang Ruoqing, as if her question was too contemptuous.

"The news I'm telling you about your fourth aunt, will it be something about old sesame and rotten millet? It must be 99% new, big news that is still hot right after it comes out of the oven!"

"Mom, fifth aunt, do you know?" Yang Ruoqing turned around and asked Sun and Bao Suyun again.

They both shook their heads.

Mrs. Liu chuckled and said, "I already told you that I have to wait for you to come and discuss this matter. How can I tell them in advance? That would be boring!"

Yang Ruoqing took a sip of tea and urged with a smile: "That's it, everyone is here. Fourth Aunt, don't be pretentious and hurry up!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, licked her lips, and suppressed her excitement and asked them: "New Year's Eve will be celebrated tomorrow, but Dabai and Hongmei from the old Wang family haven't returned to the village yet. Don't you know?"

Bao Suyun smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Fourth, I thought it was a big deal. I know. I went to deliver food to my mother two days ago and met Meier. I also talked about the days when the children went home for the New Year. She said

Dabai sent a message a long time ago saying that he won’t be able to come back until the New Year’s Day, saying that business in the shop is good during the twelfth lunar month, so he can’t leave.”

Mrs. Liu smacked her lips with disbelief on her face.

"Come on, he said business is good when business is good? Then Qing'er's restaurants will close on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. They still open big restaurants. How much trouble can their palm-sized small shop create?"

"Hi, Fourth Aunt, I really need to clarify this point." Yang Ruoqing said.

"As we enter the twelfth lunar month, there are many more people going to the market every day than usual. There is no shortage of people in various shops, especially restaurants, teahouses and breakfast shops, which are related to eating, drinking and diarrhea. This is the golden period of the year. Dabai

Although the shop is small, the items sold are affordable to ordinary people."

"Qing'er, if you say that, then why did you close the restaurant at this hour? Why don't you do business for a few more days?" Mrs. Liu asked back.

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "At my level, opening a restaurant is just for fun. Earning more or less won't have much impact."

Ms. Liu was stunned.

Well, what you are asking is that the nouveau riche is running to compete with the God of Wealth for more money.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask." Ms. Liu licked her lips and continued.

"Then Dabai and Hongmei said they would come back tomorrow, so that's it. But Xiaohei, who didn't open a shop and wasn't busy making a lot of money, didn't come back either. Now Mei'er was getting anxious. Wang Hongquan went to Wang Hongtao, his father and his sons.

, divided into two groups, one group went to the tea house, and the other group went down the mountain to look for Xu Yuanming’s hometown in the town!"

The news brought by Mrs. Liu really surprised the three people in the room.

Mrs. Sun said: "I thought it was strange. Two days ago, Mianmian got married and Xiao Hei didn't come over to have a banquet. When I asked Mei'er, she said that Xiao Hei's master hadn't gone on holiday yet."

Bao Suyun said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, why don't we let Xiao Hei back? Qing'er, do we have to leave someone to guard the tea house during the Chinese New Year?"
