"Tomorrow is the Laba Festival. She will prepare the ingredients for this year's Laba porridge and cook the porridge. When the time comes, I will let you all go over and drink the porridge. Let's celebrate the Laba Festival together." Yang Ruoqing said.
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she was very surprised, but she still said: "If this is the case, wouldn't your Aunt Cuilian be very troubled?"
On the side, Bao Suyun said: "Third sister-in-law, in the past years it was you who took care of the meal. Please invite them over for a drink."
"This year, since Sister-in-law Cuilian has this intention, just follow her. At worst, you will have to endure it again next year!"
Yang Ruoqing also smiled and said: "Yes, that's what I mean, mother, you can go to my place to celebrate Laba Festival this year."
Sun thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I will be lazy during the Laba Festival this year!"
Several people laughed.
At this time, Yang Ruolan came in from the courtyard door.
"As soon as I walked to the door of the courtyard, I heard you guys laughing. Why are you laughing so well at such a happy thing? It makes me happy too!" Yang Ruolan entered the courtyard with a smile.
Seeing Yang Ruolan coming over, Sun exchanged glances with Bao Suyun.
Sun said: "Suyun, you'll have to tell me later."
Bao Suyun nodded.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised when she saw her mother and fifth aunt like this.
What are these two plotting?
In a daze, Yang Ruolan came to a few people and clapped her hands towards Luo Baobao: "Baby, come here, auntie, give me a hug..."
Without hesitation, Baby Luo jumped into Yang Ruolan's arms and played with Yang Ruolan's hair, looking very interested.
Yang Ruoqing watched from the side and noticed a phenomenon.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what, but Baby Luo likes to be held by young people, especially beautiful girls and handsome boys.
The aunts and old women in the village clapped their hands and wanted to hug Baby Luo, but they wouldn't give him any face.
Look, as soon as Yang Ruolan clapped her hands, Luo Baobao walked over directly. How can I give you more face?
Here, Bao Suyun said to Yang Ruolan: "Girl Lan, Fifth Aunt has something to do, and I want to hear your opinion."
Yang Ruolan was surprised, then turned to look at Bao Suyun.
"Fifth Aunt, just tell me what's going on and I'm listening!" she said.
Bao Suyun smiled and looked at Sun again. Under Sun's encouraging eyes, Bao Suyun organized his words and started talking.
"It's like this. In Yujia Village behind our village, Yu Dafu's family has a nephew named Yu Jinbao."
"Yu Jinbao said he had met you. I wonder if you still remember him?" Bao Suyun asked.
"Yu Jinbao?" Yang Ruolan thought for a while and shook her head: "No impression, what's wrong, fifth aunt? Why do you ask?"
Bao Suyun said: "This Yu Jinbao is twenty-one this year, about the same age as Tang Yazi, and four years older than you."
"This Yu Jinbao is a nice person, an honest person, and he is very practical in farming at home."
"Before, we arranged a marriage, and the girl is also from Yujiacun."
"Originally, we were supposed to get married the year before last, but then there was a flood and then there was a plague. The girl's life was not good. She contracted the plague and died."
"Yu Jinbao's marriage has been delayed..."
"Wait a minute!" Yang Ruolan interrupted Bao Suyun.
"Fifth Aunt, what do you mean when you tell me this?" she asked, with an unnatural smile on her face.
"Are you trying to pull a string between me and that person?" Yang Ruolan asked again.
Bao Suyun was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
Yang Ruolan frowned, hugging Baby Luo and saying nothing.
On the side, Mrs. Sun came over and said to Yang Ruolan: "Girl Lan, this was not your fifth aunt's idea alone, it was also my idea."
Yang Ruolan glanced at Mrs. Sun and said, "Third Aunt, I know you and Fifth Aunt are doing it for my own good, but I'm really not in a hurry..."
Sun said: "You are already seventeen, and you will be eighteen after the New Year."
"Look at Mei'er, look at Bamei, look at Qing'er..."
"They are all the mothers of their children. Look at you again. You are the only one who comes in and out. You have no father and no mother. How lonely and deserted you are. Third aunt is worried when she sees you like this!" Sun Shi Dao.
Yang Ruolan raised her eyes and looked at Sun again, a look of emotion surged through her eyes, but a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"I don't feel lonely. I still have Yongbai. There are so many people living in the house next door, in the front and back yards, so I'm not alone..." she whispered.
Mrs. Sun frowned: "You silly girl, how could you think that way?"
"A woman must get married sooner or later. Marry a reliable man, have children, live a down-to-earth and lively life, this is the right way."
"Like you, don't say that we feel distressed and anxious when you look at it."
"If your parents knew something, they wouldn't be able to rest in peace!" Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruolan remained silent, her face full of confusion and hesitation.
Mrs. Sun continued: "Lan'er, the third and fifth aunts will not harm you. We have inquired about Yu Jinbao carefully."
"The young man is not ugly, he has good features and a good heart."
"I have never been married. The only disadvantage is that my family is poor."
"There are two parents above, and there are two younger sisters to raise..."
"Third Aunt," Yang Ruolan interrupted Sun's words.
"I don't care about my family being poor. What I'm worried about is that I'm like this and have been a concubine. I'm not a perfect person, and my reputation wasn't very good in the past."
"I'm worried that people will look down on me!" Yang Ruolan expressed her worries.
Hearing this, Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
She and Bao Suyunna looked at each other and said with a smile: "People over there have known about your situation for a long time, but they are still willing to let us hold this red thread."
"This shows that people don't care about these things. Besides, Lan Yatou, you have become so good and virtuous now, everyone can see it clearly!"
"That's right." Bao Suyun took over.
"Yujia Village doesn't want to be far away from our Changping Village. We can walk back and forth with a bowl of tea. The fields, vegetable gardens, and tea gardens of the two villages are also close to each other."
"Girl Lan, you will marry in Yujia Village. It will be convenient for you to return to your parents' home."
"Girl Lan, if you don't have any objections, then the fifth aunt will come and make an appointment. You and that Yu Jinbao can find a place to meet in a serious manner. How about that?" Bao Suyun asked again.
Yang Ruolan glanced at Sun, who nodded.
Yang Ruolan couldn't help but glance at Yang Ruoqing, who had been silent all the time: "Sister Qing'er, what do you think about this matter? I want to hear your opinion."
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said, "Sister Lan'er, I don't know who Yu Jinbao is, so it's hard to comment."
"However, I believe that my mother and fifth aunt will not harm you." Yang Ruoqing said.
Yang Ruolan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then... I'll go and see you?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "I must go and meet him. Give him a chance and give himself a chance."
Yang Ruolan nodded, two red clouds appeared on his face, obviously a little embarrassed.
When Sun and Bao Suyun saw this, they couldn't help laughing.
Yang Ruoqing then added: "It is certainly a good thing to go see him, but I still want to say something that is a bit disgraceful."
"Sister Lan'er, although my mother and fifth aunt will not harm you, they think Yu Jinbao is good."
