Luo Fengtang's face turned very ugly when he mentioned his future and past.
"Zhou Xia is just a cancer that stays around. She can bend and stretch, but her smile hides a knife."
"I'm going to have a good talk with my uncle right now. Anyway, my uncle is buried now, so if he has nothing else to do, he shouldn't have to deal with the Zhou family!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "You can go ahead and talk, but remember not to speak too hastily. You know your uncle's character. He appreciates the relationship between brother and sister."
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
…
During dinner, Luo Fengtang came back.
"How was the conversation with your uncle?" Yang Ruoqing came over and asked him as she took a pair of shoes for him to change.
Luo Fengtang said: "Except for the things on the cliff, I have almost talked to my uncle about everything else."
"My uncle was also very surprised. I believe he should have known about it."
"Because he said that in the future, if he has anything to do with the Zhou family, he will come over to discuss it with us in advance."
Hearing his words, Yang Ruoqing felt relieved.
"Well, let's stop talking about it. Let's go eat. I made a new dish tonight, specially for you to eat," she said.
"Oh? What's the new dish?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, "You'll know when you see it."
The two came to the kitchen together.
Tuoba Xian and Luo Baobao had already eaten, but Yang Ruoqing hadn't yet. She specially waited for him to come back to eat together.
The food is warming in a small pot outside the stove.
Two dishes and one soup were quickly placed on the small table in the kitchen. By the time Luo Fengtang came over with two bowls of rice, Yang Ruoqing had already laid out the chopsticks.
On the small table in the kitchen, candles were lit, spreading warmth.
"Braised pork, gourd and mushroom soup, this is... what kind of scrambled eggs are these?" Luo Fengtang looked at the dishes in front of him and asked.
On the white plate, green rhizomes and leafy vegetables are entangled with golden egg yolks.
"This dish is really beautiful. At first glance, it looks like peony flowers." Luo Fengtang added.
"Qing'er, I really don't recognize it. What kind of dish is this?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "You will know after you take a taste!"
As she spoke, she raised her chopsticks, took a piece of the dish and brought it to his mouth.
"Ah..." she said.
Luo Fengtang smiled, opened his mouth to take it, chewed and felt it carefully in his mouth.
"How is it?" Yang Ruoqing asked again, her eyes shining brightly under the candlelight.
Luo Fengtang said: "It's chewy, but the taste is extremely delicious. It's very fresh and refreshing, not greasy."
"But, I still don't know what it is." He said.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
"You don't even recognize this thing growing in front of and behind our house? Hahaha..."
"This is the bud of the Chinese toon tree." She continued.
"Toon tree? Can this be eaten too?" Luo Fengtang was obviously very surprised.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes, these sprouts are not only edible, they taste delicious and have extremely high nutritional value."
"Originally, it was best to pick and eat them when they were sprouting buds a few days ago, but we went to the capital that time and missed it."
"You went to talk to your uncle in the afternoon while I wandered around the yard out of boredom."
"Suddenly I saw buds sprouting from the top of the toon tree that was cracked open by thunder a few years ago, so I pinched a handful and brought them back to scramble eggs," she said.
After hearing this, Luo Fengtang suddenly realized.
"I have never heard that these sprouts can be eaten, and they taste so good," he said.
If I had known it at that time, I would not have been hungry in the spring.
"Why are you standing there? Sit down and eat, otherwise it will get cold." Her urging voice reached his ears.
"Have they eaten the baby?" Luo Fengtang came back to his senses and asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Both mother and baby have eaten it, especially the baby, he seems to like it very much."
"Just eat if you like." Luo Fengtang said.
Then he put the plate of toon scrambled eggs with two chopsticks into Yang Ruoqing's bowl, and pushed the rest aside with the plate.
He held the gourd with his chopsticks and was eating.
Yang Ruoqing discovered that his chopsticks would never touch the plate of toon scrambled eggs again.
"Eat it, I've got a handful left over there. I'll cook it for your daughter tomorrow."
She smiled and held two chopsticks for him.
Luo Fengtang raised his eyes and looked at her, "I can eat anything else..."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Oh, stop whining, you're a man, just be more relaxed!"
Luo Fengtang's head was covered with black lines.
Whether he is a man or not, others don’t know, but she still doesn’t know?
Seeing something flashing across his eyes, Yang Ruoqing's face turned red.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly. If you have other thoughts, you might as well think about whether there are any toon trees sprouting buds in front of and behind the village," she said.
Luo Fengtang nodded happily, "Okay, I'll go look for it early tomorrow."
…
It has been cloudy and cloudy for several days, and it lasted until the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yang Ruoqing deliberately got up early, followed Wang Cuilian and Sun to the fields, and cut several bundles of calamus and mugwort.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, calamus and mugwort are placed on the doors and windows. The old tradition of farmers says that this can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil.
Analyzed from a correct perspective, it is actually because the weather is getting hotter and humid during the Dragon Boat Festival.
In this environment, various bacteria can easily breed.
Moreover, mosquitoes, rats, ants, etc. have also begun to become active.
They carry a large number of bacteria and pose a threat to human health.
All things are interdependent, and plants such as calamus and mugwort have the effect of restraining these.
Just like a snake, when it encounters realgar, its whole body will become soft, and even the White Lady, who has been practicing for thousands of years, will show her true form.
Okay, I’m going too far.
Let's talk about Yang Ruoqing's planting of mugwort and calamus that were still wet with dew in the two houses, as well as in the old Luo family's old house.
Then she returned to her home.
Uncle Luo Blacksmith and aunt Wang Cuilian were invited to come here to celebrate the festival.
Together with Tuoba Xian, Yan Huaian, Xiao Yaxue and Narisong, Yang Ruoqing planned to prepare a feast to celebrate the festival with her relatives and friends.
The variety of dishes had been in her mind two days ago.
Just now, she took the time to go to the vegetable garden and picked a lot of seasonal vegetables.
I'll show off my skills later.
Tuoba Xian and Xiao Yaxue took care of their children full-time, and Wang Cuilian came over to help Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, are you serious about Lan Yatou and Ahao not coming over for lunch?" Wang Cuilian asked while washing rice.
"It's time to wash the rice and put it into the pot, but you have to say it right, otherwise there won't be enough food later," she added.
Yang Ruoqing was tinkering with some ingredients with her back to Wang Cuilian.
Hearing this, he said without looking back: "I'm sure, but I won't come here." (. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Please to m..)
