"What is this? Do you not know us or haven't seen us?" Yang Ruoqing looked at Zhao Liu'er and asked in surprise.
Zhao Liu'er pursed her lips and smiled and said: "How could you not see it? We are not invisible. You haven't been to the old house for a long time. I don't know. Now she not only pretends not to see us when she sees us, she also meets our old Yang family." So does everyone else."
"Hong'er fell at her feet a few days ago and she didn't even help her," Zhao Liu'er said.
"Why is this happening? What happened?" Yang Ruoqing asked next.
Zhao Liuer said: "I don't know the specifics, but they have been quarreling a lot during this period."
"Sometimes I hear them quarreling in the room in the middle of the night. At first, they probably kept their voices low and quarreled under the covers because they were trying to save face."
"Later on, I gradually lost face. I started making loud noises in the middle of the night, and I think I broke several tea sets!"
Hearing Zhao Liuer's words, Yang Ruoqing frowned.
Zhao Liuer continued: "That's not all. There are even more outrageous things."
"Sometimes the eldest brother has just come back from school, and the two of them are talking and laughing in the kitchen, cooking."
"Suddenly she became unhappy because of a certain word or expression from her elder brother."
"As soon as I threw the spatula away, even though there were vegetables cooking in the pot, I immediately turned around and went back to the house and fell on the bed to sleep." Zhao Liuer said.
"Can she sleep?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Zhao Liuer said: "It doesn't matter whether I sleep or not. Anyway, I'm sleeping for my eldest brother to see and make him anxious."
"What about eldest brother? What does he do in situations like this?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.
Zhao Liuer curled her lips and said: "Usually it's coaxing and begging, just like begging grandma to beg ancestors."
"It took a lot of effort to coax her back, but the eldest brother still has to go to the kitchen to shovel away the burnt vegetables, and then re-cook her favorite food. Just waiting on her like this, and still quarreling every now and then."
After hearing this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but shake her head.
"Oh my God, I feel so sorry for my eldest brother all of a sudden. How can I get through this day?" she said.
If I were a man and had such a woman as my wife, I would really collapse.
"I originally thought that the eldest brother would give up on Ping'er and Ping'er would also shed tears and cut off their love, which would help the eldest brother and Li Xiuxin get back together, and at least save this marriage."
"Unexpectedly, they are still a pair of resentful couples. They are fighting and fighting every day. I don't know when it will end. Oh, that's all. Anyway, the eldest brother can bear it. Let's eat carrots first and worry less!" Yang Ruoqing finally said .
"Well, third sister-in-law, I'll go over first. If you and Hong'er are able, you can come over and have dinner together at night!" she said.
Zhao Liu'er smiled and shook his head, "Just let your third brother go. It's cold at night, so Hong'er and I won't go out. We'll eat two bowls of noodles at home, and put a poached egg for Hong'er. That's fine."
Yang Ruoqing looked at Hong'er, who was more than two years old and was following behind Zhao Liu'er. The child was taller and his face was rounder.
His appearance has taken after his mother Chen Jinhong, who has good looks. When this child grows up, he will probably become a handsome man with delicate features and delicate features.
"Third sister-in-law, Hong'er is over two years old, and you have always taken care of her. Now this child has treated you as his own mother. He likes to care about you wherever he goes. It's great!"
Yang Ruoqing said.
Zhao Liu'er also lowered his head and glanced at Hong'er beside his legs, his eyes full of doting.
"This kid is so annoying. He doesn't even get tired of his father being around. He just likes to get tired of me. If I can't see him for two hours, I'll be anxious," she said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "When someone else is a stepmother and abuses the child left behind by her ex, you are doing your best to the child, so if you are sincere, the child will also like you."
Zhao Liuer said: "Children are innocent. It is unethical for an adult to abuse a child."
Yang Ruoqing stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Liuer's hand, and felt the pulse on her wrist.
"What's wrong? Why are you checking my pulse?" Zhao Liu'er chuckled and retracted her hand, "I'm in good health. I'm not sick or in pain!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Hong'er is already over two years old, haven't you and my third brother considered having a child of your own?"
Zhao Liu'er was stunned for a moment, then realized later that Yang Ruoqing was taking her pulse to see if she was pregnant!
Zhao Liuer blushed slightly and said, "Next year, maybe. Next year I should consider having another baby. Your third brother wants a daughter."
Yang Ruoqing covered her mouth and smiled: "My daughter is considerate, so I want a daughter next year, and a son the year after that..."
Zhao Liu'er pinched Yang Ruoqing lightly, "Do you think I'm a sow? Stop talking about it, it's a joke."
"Hahaha, I'm not afraid after hearing this," Yang Ruoqing said, "Okay, let's just say that for now. I'll go back first."
Zhao Liu'er pulled Hong'er and followed Yang Ruoqing: "Let's go, we will take you to the door of the house."
At night, the men came over, and Luo Fengtang was busy greeting them.
Yang Ruoqing, Ping'er, Cao Bamei and Yang Ruolan were busy cooking in the backyard kitchen.
"I asked my third sister-in-law to leave a message for my eldest brother. If he wants to come over, he will come later. If he doesn't come, then he definitely can't come. We don't have to wait, we can just start the meal." Yang Ruoqing said to them. A way.
Ping'er remained silent, and Cao Bamei said, "Let's make a bet. I bet that my eldest brother won't be able to come tonight."
Yang Ruoqing cooed: "I bet he won't come either."
No one bet that he would come, because they all heard about Li Xiuxin from Yang Ruoqing when they were cooking.
Therefore, it is certain that Yang Yongxian cannot come over.
However, when Cao Bamei went to the front yard to set a table with a set of clean chopsticks and bowls, she saw Yang Yongxian.
"Oh Qing'er, we all lost the bet, big brother is here!" Cao Bamei ran back to the backyard kitchen in a hurry and said to everyone.
Yang Ruoqing and others were also surprised.
"Is Li Xiuxin allowed?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Ping'er's smile was a bit weird, and she laughed at herself: "I'm afraid she doesn't know that I'm back too. If she knew I was back too, she would definitely not let your Yongxian brother come over."
When the food was served, Ping'er deliberately didn't want to go to the front yard.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Have you forgotten what I said in your room before? If you are generous and have no ghosts in your heart, you don't have to be afraid of this or that."
Ping'er nodded, took a deep breath, adjusted herself, picked up the dishes and followed Yang Ruoqing to the front yard.
In the front hall, the men were already sitting around the table.
Yang Yongxian and Yang Yongjin were sitting in a row. Compared with Yang Yongjin's lively conversation, Yang Yongxian's mood seemed much lower.
Although he occasionally echoed Yang Yongjin's jokes and smiled slightly, his smile was so absent-minded and even bitter.
