Yang Ruoqing could only smile bitterly at this.
People are wise, even children as young as Feng'er are wise. If you leave your child at home like this and become a left-behind child, even if the grandparents at home love you and the conditions are good, if your parents are not around, the child will be incomplete after all.
It's just that he is young and not good at expressing, so he can only vent his anger by crying and not eating.
"It's really inconvenient for Xiaohua, otherwise, she would definitely take Feng'er to the capital." Yang Ruoqing said.
The capital is thousands of miles away from home, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. In this era, transportation was backward and relied entirely on horse-drawn carriages. You can imagine the speed.
If the child is taken to such a far place, Da'an is busy with official duties and cannot be of much help. The child is completely taken care of by Xiaohua alone. After all, the maids and servants who are unfamiliar with the place cannot be trusted like the family, and they do not care about the child. Maybe they were very worried. The child had an illness or something, and Xiaohua and the others were helpless. The Sun family and his wife were also worried, and everyone was having a hard time.
"Feng'er is still young now. In order to take better care of him, we can only leave him at home. In a few years, Feng'er will grow up and his body will become stronger. When he reaches the age of starting school, he should be able to follow him. Those from the capital, go to the capital to study." Yang Ruoqing added.
Da Sun nodded: "Yes, Feng'er's body bones are not very strong now. This spring, he has caught colds three times and had stomach upset twice. It will definitely be better when he grows up in two years, and he should be fine by then. Take it to the capital."
Yang Ruoqing felt very distressed when she heard that her eldest nephew had been ill recently.
This child has a weak constitution and low immunity, so he gets sick easily.
When I get back from this trip, I have to get some immunity-boosting ingredients for my child and cook them for him.
"By the way, auntie, does my cousin Xiaojie live more at your place or at her husband's house these days? How is her appetite now? She shouldn't be happy, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked Xiaojie again things to come.
Mentioning Xiaojie, the corners of Sun's eyes and eyebrows were filled with softness.
But the words that came out of his mouth were very tough, even with a hint of accusation. In the accusation, not only did people not feel dissatisfied, but they were full of pampering and pride.
"That girl is just squeamish and pretentious," said Da Sun.
"Tell me, which of us women is not pregnant? She doesn't care about eating this or that. It's been more than three months, and she's still so picky and particular."
"The parents who gave her the spot also doted on her and let her do whatever she wanted. Her mother-in-law also found ways to prepare all kinds of food for her every day. That girl is so squeamish. I stayed at my husband’s house for a few days and then came back to my parents’ house. Anyway, I was just running from one place to another, and I didn’t stop!”
Da Sun curled her lips and shook her head as she spoke, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
As the sedan chair was carrying people, Yang Ruoqing followed the eldest Sun's words and said, "Zhang Ban is the only son in the Zhang family, and Xiao Jie is the only daughter-in-law. The parents-in-law of the Zhang family must love Xiao Jie as their daughter."
Mrs. Sun nodded: "Qing'er, you are right. The Zhang family's parents-in-law really have no choice in Xiaojie. When a new daughter-in-law comes into the house, she has to serve her parents-in-law, cook, wash and do housework, and deal with favors." ,"
"Especially during the last New Year celebration, no matter whether it was preparing for the New Year in the twelfth lunar month or greeting relatives and friends in the first lunar month, these are all the affairs of the daughter-in-law!"
"But what about our Xiaojie? The Zhang family's parents-in-law treated her like a guest, holding her up and caring for her. Last time we went over to pay New Year's greetings, Zhang Banniang was busy in the kitchen, and Xiaojie was still having a meal with us. I can’t stand melon seeds anymore, so I sent her to the kitchen to help stuff firewood!”
Da Sun laughed to herself as she spoke.
Yang Ruoqing also pursed her lips and smiled, "The Zhang family's parents-in-law are kind-hearted and treat Xiaojie well. However, we, Xiaojie, can't live up to their expectations. She got pregnant just one month after entering the house. The Zhang family only has an only son, Zhang Ban, who is looking forward to it the most." The only thing is human beings, as long as Xiaojie can keep up with her ambitions, and she will have two of them in three years, Zhang Banniang will be happier than anything else."
Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly, "I think so too. I also told Xiaojie that you must live up to your expectations and give the Zhang family more babies. Regardless of whether they are male or female, you should live to death. The more babies you have, the better." !”
"Xiaojie, that damn girl, scolded me, saying that I treated her like an old sow. She was still living here two days ago, but I drove her back in the past two days. I told her that I would give her ten more days. Rapeseed will be harvested in half a month, and wheat will be harvested later.”
"At this busy time of farming, she can't help much when she comes back, and she has to drag me down to serve her. I asked her to stay at her husband's house peacefully during this period. After the early rice is planted, I will let your uncle go. Bring her back to stay longer."
Yang Ruoqing cut the cabbage and leeks she picked up and put them in a basket aside for later use. Then she started peeling garlic and scraping the skin of ginger. She turned to Mrs. Sun and said, "So, Xiaojie has the shortest way to marry." It’s so good, it only takes half a day to go back and forth from the village to Qingshui Town.”
"It's convenient to go back to my parents' house or my husband's house. My uncle can just drive a bullock cart to pick him up."
Sun actually bought a carriage, but there was only one, and the only carriage was driven to Huguang County by Dajie and Huang Mao.
So when we go around the house to do errands or go to the market to buy things, we use bullock carts or handcarts.
It was quite good for farmers in this era to have oxcarts.
The ox-cart is equivalent to the car that a modern family buys for more than 100,000 yuan. It is an excellent means of transportation.
The trolley is equivalent to a battery car or a motorcycle.
As for the carriage, it belongs to the luxury car level. Only those with money and status can afford it, because the price of a horse is dozens of taels of silver, and ordinary feeding and other things are a big expense. pin.
Okay, let's go too far. Here, the eldest Sun continued what Yang Ruoqing said: "That's for sure. My daughter just can't marry far away. My eldest aunt and Qing'er don't know each other, and they say anything. I think back then, I really don't think highly of Zhang Ban. Now, I still say the same thing. Zhang Ban is not good at dealing with people. The kid doesn't like to talk so much. When others take the initiative to say hello to him, he will just hum. In addition to teaching in the school and earning a lot of money. If you just save money, there will probably be no future in other aspects."
"However, Zhang Ban is good at one thing, that is, he treats us Xiaojie well, he has no temper when it comes to Xiaojie, and he also has something to say with Xiaojie."
"If Xiaojie had married another man surnamed Fan, then she would most likely have followed him to Qing'an County to study while she was pregnant and had to take care of his food and daily life. When I think of this, I I can’t bear to part with him, it’s better to be Zhang Ban now.”
While speaking, Mrs. Sun cut the pork belly into hob pieces, then chopped the ribs. After chopping the ribs, she started chopping the meat filling again.
Act resolutely and swiftly.
"Auntie, how many tables do you plan to prepare? Just prepare two dishes. Don't prepare too many, it will be too troublesome. We are not outsiders!" Yang Ruoqing hurriedly reminded.
Mrs. Sun smiled and waved her hand, "No more, no more, eight dishes still have to be prepared. If you make an even number, it will be auspicious, so just follow me!"
