Sun was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Yang Ruoqing meant.
"Isn't it logical?" said Sun.
"At noon, I went to the old house to say hello to your fourth and fifth aunts and asked them to come and help in the afternoon."
"At that time, I didn't even think about asking Jin Hong to help, because I saw that Hong'er was so young, and Yongzhi couldn't take her by herself when she came."
"She ran to the backyard to find me, and in front of your grandma, she took the initiative to say that she would come over to help me in the afternoon..." Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "One moment, another moment, she can change her mind just by peeing."
She said, simply pulling Sun aside and telling the whole story in a low voice.
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Sun was also surprised, with a little dissatisfaction on her face.
"Then he's probably really in a mood." Mrs. Sun said again.
Yang Ruoqing had a look of disdain on her face: "I'm good enough to her. I sent my third brother here to ask for errands more than a month ago, and I'm tired of serving her every now and then."
Mrs. Sun nodded: "If that's the case, then let her go. It's okay if she doesn't come. If she comes, if she deliberately throws her face off, everyone will be embarrassed."
Yang Ruoqing said 'hmm' and glanced at the busy kitchen and dining hall over there: "Mom, that's all for now, let's go in and get busy."
"It's a happy event to win the Da'an exam. We have to be happy and don't let other people's trivial matters affect our mood."
Mrs. Sun nodded again: "Yes, my Qing'er is right. Let's go in and get busy."
In rural areas, it is almost always the women in the backyard who take the lead in organizing such banquets and family banquets.
From the purchase of ingredients for the banquet the next day, to the actual meals served the next day, to the cooking of leftovers after the guests have dispersed, to the clearing away of pots and pans...
It's all women doing it.
And what about the men? Do some simple and direct physical work, carry a few tables and set up a few stools.
Welcoming the guests, and then chatting with them while smoking cigarettes and drinking tea, or even playing cards.
When the banquet begins, cups and cups are exchanged, and people eat, drink, and cheer.
After the banquet was over, I went home and fell asleep while humming a little tune.
This is the usual procedure for banquets held by villagers. Men and women are also used to it and accept it happily.
At night, the women were so busy lighting the lamps that they prepared all the ingredients for tomorrow before going to their respective homes.
Before leaving, I made an appointment to come over tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Sun and Yang Ruoqing escorted them to the gate of the courtyard. Ms. Sun repeatedly warned: "Don't light a fire in your house tomorrow morning. All come here to have breakfast!"
The women laughed and went away.
Back in the backyard, Mrs. Sun continued to do some finishing work, with Yang Ruoqing accompanying her.
Mrs. Sun said: "You have nothing to do here. You should go back quickly. I don't know what's going on with the baby right now."
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled and said: "When I went to the toilet earlier, I took the time to go back and take a look. The father and daughter were having fun."
"My mother-in-law is also here. She said she would give her a bath when the baby gets sleepy and take her to sleep. She asked me to concentrate on this for the next two days without worrying about it."
After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Mrs. Sun felt relieved for the time being.
"Fengtang and his mother really don't have a choice. They are really kind to you as my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Sun said sincerely.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, with unconcealable satisfaction in her smile.
"I think so too," she said, then turned sideways and gently rested her head on Sun's shoulder: "No matter how good everyone is, they can't compare to you, mother."
Mrs. Sun was startled for a moment, her heart moved, but she smiled on her face.
"Haha, girl, when did you learn how to flatter?"
"Oh, I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth. Mom, you have to believe me!"
"Okay, okay, mom believes in you, no matter what you say, mom believes in you!"
"Haha, what are you two plotting?" Yang Huazhong also entered the kitchen with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing let go of Sun and stood up straight: "Don't tell dad the secret between mother and I."
Yang Huazhong was stunned for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed at Yang Ruoqing, "This girl..."
The man smiled again, with a doting look on his face, and the atmosphere in the kitchen was very good.
Yang Ruoqing said to Sun and Yang Huazhong: "Since dad is here to accompany mom, I will retreat temporarily and let you two have a few words in private."
Mrs. Sun blushed: "What are you talking about, kid? Your father and I are an old married couple, making people laugh..."
Yang Huazhong chuckled.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm just kidding. Let's talk to mom and dad. I'll go to our scholar's house to look around."
In the house, the boy was reading at night with lights on.
The low and clear sound of reading is like a melodious sound, with cadences and clear enunciation, giving people an auditory enjoyment.
Yang Ruoqing stood at the door of the house, listened quietly for a moment, enjoyed it for a moment, and then gently knocked on the door.
The sound of reading in the room suddenly stopped, and then Daan's voice came.
"The door is open, please come in." He said.
The door of the house was pushed open with a sound, and a graceful figure flashed into the house.
"Wow, the scholar is different. He speaks in a gentle manner and even uses the word 'please'!"
Yang Ruoqing teased and went straight to the desk.
Daan raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was his sister, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
Then he put down the book in his hand and stood up.
After standing up, Yang Ruoqing suddenly felt that the light in front of her eyes dimmed.
"Wow, my dear brother, what are you eating? You're growing so fast. Sister, the days when I looked down on you are gone forever!"
There was endless happiness hidden in her heart, but she said this deliberately.
Da'an also laughed when he heard Yang Ruoqing's joke.
He walked around the desk and came to Yang Ruoqing,
"No matter how tall I grow, I will always be my sister." He smiled, then strode into a horse stance and deliberately lowered his body.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and raised her hand to touch his head easily.
She stroked his head like she did when she was a child and said, "Be good, this is my good brother!"
Then he patted his shoulder again and asked him to stand up straight.
"Why don't you go to bed so late?" she asked again.
Da'an said: "I'm not sleepy yet, so I'll go over the homework assigned by my teacher."
Yang Ruoqing nodded and glanced at the candle on the desk.
"You have a lot of time to read during the day, and try to read as little as possible at night. Insufficient light can easily damage your eyes."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words of advice, Daan's eyes showed a hint of joy.
He nodded gently: "Brother will remember it. By the way, sister, why haven't you gone to bed yet? Will the baby cry?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "I helped my mother prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's banquet. I just finished work."
"As for the baby, don't worry, your brother-in-law is with her!"
Hearing this, Daan also nodded in relief.
