Yang Ruoqing smiled, raised her hand and rubbed Xiaoduo's head: "What a silly girl, she is talking silly again."
"Sister, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth." Xiaoduo corrected.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Now that you see your auntie being reluctant to let go of Xiaojie, you think of yourself. Then look at the lively scene of us taking the children and uncle back to our parents' house and having everyone eat together at the same table. You won't I would think so."
"Besides, if someone's daughter never gets married and stays with her parents, it will be really troublesome. Villages all over the place will have to discuss why this is, and whether the daughter has any flaws or bad conduct. , even when walking outside with my parents, someone poked me in the back."
Hearing these words, Xiaoduo stopped sobbing and stood there blankly, seemingly digesting Yang Ruoqing's words.
Mrs. Sun also hurriedly continued to persuade Mrs. Sun based on this momentum: "It's time for boys to get married and girls to get married. The Zhang family road is not far away and is in the town. It doesn't matter whether Xiaojie returns to her parents' home or you go to the town to visit her. convenient."
"Zhang Ban is an honest child. There are no other sisters-in-law in the family. My parents-in-law have also expressed their opinion that they will treat Xiaojie as their daughter."
"It will take a year and a half to give birth to a baby, and then your life will be prosperous. How wonderful it will be. Sister, you should be happy. Don't be sad anymore!"
Da Sun nodded, took out the handkerchief and wiped her nose, "I also know that today is a good day and I should smile, but when I see this room is empty, I feel uncomfortable..."
"Now that I hear you saying these things, I feel a little better. I'm fine. Don't worry." Dasun said.
Mrs. Sun added, "Look at Guihua and Xiaoyu who married in Qing'an County. Didn't she and Changgen survive?"
"At first I was reluctant to let go and was heartbroken, but now Xiaoyu has given birth to two sons in a row. She is living a good life as a young mistress in her husband's family and can still take care of her parents' family. How wonderful this is!"
Yang Ruoqing also said: "Yes, the last time Xiaoyu came back to her parents' home with her two sons, they stayed there for nearly two months before leaving."
"So, even if she gets married, she is still a daughter of her mother's family. She can come back whenever she wants. There is no difference. Auntie, please stop crying!"
The eldest Sun wiped the tears on her face and forced a smile towards Yang Ruoqing, "Well, aunt is not sad. My daughter will eventually get married when she grows up, and my son will also have to marry a wife when he grows up. My daughter comes to our house to be a wife, and our daughter goes to someone else’s house to be a daughter-in-law. This is how everyone lives, okay, okay!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Auntie, now that you have figured it out, go back to the house with my mother and wash your face with hot water. There are still some relatives and friends at home, so you have to go and greet them."
…
Almost all the men in the family, except Lao Suntou, sent Uncle Lang to the Zhang family in the town.
Including Lao Yangtou, Blacksmith Luo, Chen'er, Feng'er, and Dajie's son Xiao Shunzi...
The men can't come back until after lunch, so there are only two tables for lunch at the Sun family, and the people serving them are all the women of relatives and friends.
Cui'er's mother and Cui'er are naturally among them.
The relatives who came from Sunjiagou will have to wait for a few days until Xiaojie returns home before they can go back. It's snowing, so it's not easy to go out to the mountains.
Secondly, it was also because the men from Sunjiagou also went to the Zhang family to see off their uncle, so it was not unusual for Cui'er and her daughter to appear at the dinner table during lunch.
Cui'er's wife sat with the other female relatives as if nothing was wrong, talking, eating, doing household chores, and praising Xiaojie for the good marriage.
Cui'er sat next to her mother, barely raising her head or making a sound during the whole process, her sense of presence was almost zero.
He didn't even dare to look at Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao's table.
Luo Baobao had received Yang Ruoqing's instruction in advance and didn't bother to talk to Cui'er. He only focused on playing with Xiuxiu and Mianmian.
After eating, Cui'er hurried back to the guest room. Cui'er's mother found an opportunity to talk to Lao Suntou. As for what she said, Yang Ruoqing didn't pay attention and kept herself in front of the house.
It would be fine for her and Luo Fengtang not to deal with Cui'er's family. As for Duke Ga, they couldn't interfere. After all, the relationship between Grand Duke and Grand Duke was there.
…
In the afternoon, after seeing off my uncles, everyone gathered in the main room and talked about the affairs of the Zhang family.
"How is the food? Is it plentiful? Are the customs and other things the same as in our village?"
"Is the meatball and patty a double bowl?"
The women kept asking these questions. Yes, this is how farmers live.
When returning from visiting relatives and friends, or having a banquet in another village, what everyone pays most attention to are these small details of eating and drinking.
The men said: "There is a little difference. The meatballs and patties are not served in two bowls. However, some of the dishes are new to the town and are not available in our village."
"It's basically the same. It's the same town!"
"Xiaojie, are you okay? You're not crying anymore, are you?"
The eldest Sun asked anxiously. She didn't care about what she ate or drank. She only cared about whether her daughter would be timid when she arrived in that strange place and faced the seven aunts and eight aunts of the Zhang family.
Dajie said: "Mom, don't worry. I heard you cry a few times when I went out. Then I got better after getting on the sedan chair. When I arrived at Zhang's house, everyone was beaming with joy. , the girl didn’t even cry. She was sharing cakes and other things with everyone. I was watching from the side. She did it so generously. Everyone praised her, praising the daughter of the Sun family for being generous and decent, and for being taught by her parents. So good!"
Dajie's words made Da Sun very happy, and her eyes turned into two curved lines of laughter.
Sun and Yang Ruoqing were also relieved.
After staying here for most of the day and eating two meals, Yang Ruoqing stood up and left.
Da Sun said: "Come over for dinner at night!"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head decisively: "Thank you, auntie, for your kindness. No need, we will just have some porridge at night. We have been eating so much fish and meat these past two days that I can't bear it."
Mrs. Sun didn't force it, and said: "It's okay, but you and the baby have to come over tomorrow morning. Let's go to Zhang's house to deliver 'combing oil' together."
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Don't worry, I'll remember it. We'll meet here after breakfast tomorrow. Let's go together."
The next day, Yang Ruoqing took Luo Baobao and followed the other female relatives to the Zhang family in the town.
The snow has stopped, and when it stops, the real cold begins.
But this passion for being a guest cannot be stopped by any ice or snow.
This is Yang Ruoqing's first time back to the Zhang family in town.
The Zhang family's shop selling farm tools is on the road leading to the villages in the east of the town, and is not on the core street of the town.
But yes, the rent on the main street in the town must be expensive. Although the house the Zhang family lives in is a bit out of the way, it is their family's property after all.
