Liao Meiying put down these words, turned around and left without looking back. From beginning to end, she did not show any joy at Yang Yongxian's return home.
Even when people from the village return from a long trip, everyone will greet each other warmly or exchange a few words. As a married woman, Liao Meiying's feelings for Yang Yongxian have already reached a freezing point.
Liao Meiying understood, Yang Yongxian understood, and everyone else in the hall could also see it.
After Liao Meiying left, Yang Huazhong moved the keys on the table a few inches back toward Yang Yongxian.
"Yongxian, please take the key. If you want to see your father, go see him and find a place to stay." He said.
Yang Yongxian sighed, turned around and picked up the key on the table: "Then I'll go there first."
Yang Huazhong nodded and watched him leave. Sun didn't say anything, let alone polite words like coming back for dinner and tea later.
After he left, Mrs. Liu asked Yang Ruoqing in the main room: "Qing'er, did you deliberately expose the pink pearl bracelet to embarrass him?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I don't want to have anything to do with him."
Mrs. Liu said: "This Yongxian is also doing business in Baie Town, but why is he still acting in such a petty and petty manner? I can't bear the sourness!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled, Yang Yongxian had always been like this.
Ms. Liu added: "Qing'er, you are so powerful just now that you have won a pink pearl bracelet for each room."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Since he sent it to your door, I naturally want to blackmail him. I just don't know when the pink pearls he promised to give you each room will be fulfilled."
Yang Huaming said angrily: "I don't care about it. I just can't stand him doing these overt and covert tricks in a family. Our old Yang family has discussed it a long time ago. We are consistent with the outside world and give consistent gifts. He has to be like this." Go ahead, set some bad precedents again."
Yang Ruoqing understood Yang Huaming's anger. In other large families, the status of the main line and side branches in the family were clearly defined.
But in the old Yang family, everyone is treated equally. Just because the third family has a son who is the champion and a son-in-law who is a general, he will not be superior to other families.
Yang Ruoqing deeply understands the temperament of her father Yang Huazhong. In his heart, brothers, friends and brotherly respect are the most important.
When the third brother becomes prosperous, he naturally has to support the other brothers. The brothers have equal status together.
And the same is true in Yang Ruoqing's heart.
Those so-called status differences are only for outsiders. Back to Changping Village, back to Lao Yang's family, there are no ranks here, the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle are all elders.
She lets her uncles and cousins take care of her business because they are her blood relatives, and she can rest assured that they will help protect the family business.
We eat the meat, they chew the bones, and we all live a good life together.
When there is a happy event between all parties, everyone gives the same gift, and the size of the gift is discussed in advance. Aunt Meier who marries Lao Wang's family, Ju'er who marries in the town, Xiaoduo who marries Xiangjiazhuang, Even cousin Lan'er who is far away in Xiushui Town will get the news in advance.
But Yang Yongxian, on the other hand, secretly gave gifts as soon as he came back and classified the importance, which directly broke the harmonious situation. Isn't this a trap for the third house and the harmonious situation that everyone has worked together to create for a long time?
It was absolutely not allowed, so Yang Ruoqing refuted him in public.
"Tonight, Dafang and his brothers are all having New Year's Eve dinner together. I don't know where Yongxian is having New Year's Eve dinner." Yang Huazhou suddenly thought of this question.
Yang Huaming said: "There is no need to ask. I must eat with the old man. He is the treasure of the old man and the hope and future of the old Yang family."
Yang Huazhong glanced at Yang Huaming: "Don't be poor, pack up and call Shang Yongjin and the others. It's time for us to set off to burn incense on the mountain."
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang also stood up and left immediately. They also wanted to go to the mountain with Blacksmith Luo to burn incense and worship their ancestors.
Mrs. Liu was forced to stay by Ms. Sun yesterday and stayed with Ms. Sun at night. But this Chinese New Year, she had to go to the fourth room to cook the New Year's Eve dinner with the third girl.
He'er and Kang Xiaozi are both back, and they want to have a reunion dinner together this year, so Mrs. Liu hurriedly left.
Seeing Mr. Liu leaving quickly, Yang Huaming felt happy. It had been a long time since there was a woman in charge of the house to take care of everything. He had been single for a long time, and he felt friendly when he saw a sow. He wished he could go home and become the head of the house. !
…
In the small house at the entrance of the village, Yu Xingkui saw Yang Yongxian coming back, so he asked him to talk to Lao Yangtou, and he took half a day off to go back to Yujia Village.
Because he had to come back at night to continue serving Lao Yangtou and could not celebrate the New Year with his wife and children at home, so he rushed back to worship his ancestors and burn incense. He had the New Year's Eve dinner in advance at noon and went back to Chang'an in the afternoon. Pingcun.
Although Yujiacun.
Seeing her son coming back in a hurry, Yu Xingkui's mother, Mrs. Zhao, wiped away her tears and said, "It's really hard to do this job of serving people. I can't stay home even on New Year's Eve. If you can't do it, just quit. I'll go home in the spring next year." Then farming is the same life.”
Yu Xingkui raised his hand to help his mother wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mom, New Year's Eve is not a big deal. For the poor, three hundred and sixty-five days a year are hardships. For the rich, , fish bowls and meat bowls are going up every day, it’s the Chinese New Year, so when Lao Yang’s family needs me, I can save more cash, it’s better than anything else.”
After that, he helped his mother into the house, and the mother-in-law took the children to pick cabbage in the vegetable garden behind.
Yu Xingkui took out a tightly wrapped veil from his body, peeled off the layers one after another, and then put five taels of silver into the hands of his mother, Mrs. Zhao.
"Mom, look, this is the money I earned during this period. It's five taels of silver. You can touch it and see."
Yu Xingkui put the silver into Zhao's hand. Zhao weighed the money in her hand and was very excited.
"So much money? Is it all for you? Didn't you say two taels a month before? Why give so much? It's only been less than a month!" she asked.
Yu Xingkui explained patiently: "I have been working in Lao Yang's family for almost two months. The twenty taels of silver in the first month have already been given to your wife, so that she can buy rice and oil to survive, and the rest will pay off the debt."
Zhao nodded.
"I rested for a while, and then Yongxian gave me another one tael of silver to take care of old Uncle Yang. I gave the one tael of silver to your wife, and the money for this New Year trip was made from that one tael of silver. It comes from inside." Yu Xingkui said again.
Mrs. Zhao nodded again: "What about these five taels of silver? Are they all earned this month? Why so much?"
Yu Xingkui said with a smile: "The two taels of silver are wages, and the remaining three taels are the rewards given by Lao San and the others, which are said to be red envelopes for the New Year."
Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly: "No wonder the old Yang family is getting more and more prosperous. He is so good at heart and generous in his dealings. This kind of owner is really good!"
