The young couple held hands sweetly and returned to the village. After walking past the pond, they met the oncoming brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou.
They were walking in a hurry, carrying baskets in their hands.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other and had a guess in their minds.
Blacksmith Luo, who was walking in front, had already stopped to talk with brother Yang Huazhong. This question really meant that he was going to burn incense at the foot of the mountain.
"Then you go quickly, it will get dark in a while." Blacksmith Luo said.
Brother Yang Huazhong nodded. When they passed by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, they greeted the couple's greetings. The two brothers just nodded and left quickly.
Yang Ruoqing stood there and watched for a while, and found that the two of them did not go to the intersection where the old Yang family's old house was, but went straight to the back of the village.
"In the past, when we burned incense, my father and the others would go to the old house to wait for me, my fourth uncle, and my cousin. The whole army set off together. Why didn't you join them today?" Looking at their retreating figures, Yang Ruoqing tilted her head. Brain wondered.
"Perhaps your father and the others couldn't spare the time to burn incense, so they asked their father-in-law and fifth uncle to serve as representatives." Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, that makes sense. After all, the old Yang family is in chaos now!"
Luo Fengtang held her shoulders and asked her to turn around: "Let's go, stop looking, let's go to the pond and wash our hands before going home."
There is a rule here, and I don’t know when it was passed down from whom. If you go to the mountains to burn incense, or after you have finished your chores, you must first wash your hands in the pond before entering the house.
This is a rule in the Mianniu Mountain area, and there is also a taboo in this area in the capital, but instead of washing hands, they set up a brazier at the door of the house.
In a word, fire and water are merciless, but they are all used to drive away bad luck and keep it out of the house.
As for whether it works or not, haha, Yang Ruoqing doesn't want to get into it. Everyone is doing it anyway, so she just respects it. It's just some harmless rules. Just do as the Romans do!
After washing her hands and returning home, Tuoba Xian chanted sutras in the Buddhist hall.
She told them yesterday that today was the Hungry Ghost Festival, and tonight she would fast and pray in the Buddhist hall for the whole night, and no one should disturb her.
So, Yang Ruoqing went to the backyard kitchen.
In the kitchen, aunt Wang Cuilian was very busy.
On the chopping board was sliced pork belly, and in a large clean bowl beside it was washed and chopped grass carp, marinated with ginger and vinegar.
In the basket are washed cucumbers, eggplants, peppers with water drops...
The rice is simmering in the big pot, and the aroma is wafting out. Wang Cuilian is rolling up her sleeves, kneading rice flour dough, planning to make shuttle-sized rice flour dumplings for the festival at night...
Yang Ruoqing directly rolled up her sleeves: "Wow, it's so rich. Auntie, let me help you!"
Wang Cuilian turned to Yang Ruoqing and smiled brightly: "You are tired from going up the mountain, go back to the house and rest, I did it by myself!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm not tired. Let's do it faster together."
Wang Cuilian said: "Yu'er hasn't been to our house for a while? I remember she was still at our house during the Hungry Ghost Festival last year, and she made two steamed rice flour dumplings with me!"
When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she nodded with a smile: "Maybe she is entangled in things back home. She will definitely come back to see us when she is free."
In the past, when Yu'er stayed at her house, she often helped Wang Cuilian do these things.
But in the past two years, Yu'er hasn't been here much of the time. Yang Ruoqing knows that Yu'er has really grown up now.
As a saint of the Black Lotus Sect, Yu'er has already completely controlled the direct lineage in Mianniu Mountain that was personally sent by the leader to perform secret missions.
Yu'er was busy handling their affairs and established their own base camp deep in Mianniu Mountain.
Yang Ruoqing believes in Yu'er. She is a kind and righteous girl. She must have a better plan to expand her power.
So when someone in the village curiously inquires about "Why haven't you seen your distant relative Yu'er for a while?", Yang Ruoqing will excuse her by saying that Yu'er went back to her hometown to visit relatives.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together, and the dinner was quickly burned.
By the time dusk fell, the rice dumplings were ripe.
Yang Ruoqing was thinking about sending a bowl to her parents' house next door. Feng'er should like to eat it. As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Wang Cuilian spoke.
"Qing'er, you don't have anything to do here now. You should hurry up and send some rice dumplings to your mother and the others. I guess she may not be grinding rice milk anymore. You can give them a taste."
"Hey, okay, I'll give my Grandpa and Grand Duke some to try too."
Yang Ruoqing responded with a smile, took two bowls, picked up two large bowls, and left the kitchen.
In the hall in the front yard, Blacksmith Luo and his grandson Luo Baobao were talking and playing with the teddy dog. Luo Fengtang sat aside drinking tea and watching with a smile.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing bringing rice dumplings over and saying that he was going to deliver them, Luo Fengtang quickly stood up and said, "I'll just go and deliver them. You can rest at home."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Then you send this bowl from my husband's house, and I will go to my mother's house in person to see if my mother is feeling better!"
Sun drank a few spoons of rock sugar and white fungus soup at noon. When she got home, she went to the toilet. She didn't know what she had been doing for half a day. Yang Ruoqing was worried and wanted to take a look.
Luo Fengtang understood what she was thinking, so he took one of the bowls, and the couple walked out of the courtyard together, parting ways for the time being.
…
Feng'er's eyes lit up when she saw the rice dumplings sent by Yang Ruoqing.
Xiaoduo took the chopsticks and took Feng'er to eat at the table.
On the recliner here, Ms. Sun was sitting on it, her face looking slightly pale under the light.
"I've been to the toilet twice since I came back. I feel better now and my stomach is no longer fussy, but I don't seem to be feeling well all over. I don't have much energy or energy."
Sun sat there and said softly to Yang Ruoqing in front of her.
"To celebrate this festival, I originally planned to cook some decent meals for everyone at night, but I couldn't bring myself to bring it up. Your father said that anyway, we all ate hard food at the old house at noon, so we should treat it as a festival. Now, I can just make some porridge and boil two eggs for Feng'er and Duo'er at night."
"You brought rice dumplings here. It's really good. Look, Feng'er and Duo'er both like to eat them. When they are full, your father and I are too lazy to cook porridge. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with it. appetite……"
After hearing what Sun said, Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and placed it on Sun's forehead.
The coolness on her forehead made her feel relieved.
"Fortunately, Mom, you are reserved when you are dining out as a guest. The Tremella Soup is like this after just a few sips. It would be really bad if you drank more." Yang Ruoqing said.
Sun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Xiaoduo took the time to turn around and chimed in: "I noticed that the fourth aunt drank the most. She must have had weak feet from running to the toilet right now!"
Sun smiled bitterly again.
Yang Ruoqing said: "That's for sure. The croton powder has great stamina. It can really make people peel off their skin when it's released!"
Sun suddenly said: "My lord, we are a little better, but I am worried about Xiu'er."
"At the dinner table, your grandma held Xiu'er in her arms and fed a lot of Tremella soup to such a young child. I don't know how Xiu'er is doing right now!"
