Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Of course I'll take it away and deal with it. Stay here. Aren't you afraid, mother?"
Sun glanced at the bundle in her hand, her eyes averted for a moment, but she still bit the bullet and asked in a low voice, as if the thing inside could not hear, "Then... what are you going to do with it?"
Yang Ruoqing: "Of course it was burned. A fire burned it completely."
Mrs. Sun thought for a moment and took the bundle from her hand without hesitation, "I'm going to put it in the stove and burn it. Don't do it. It's bad luck!"
She carried the bundle with stiff arms and ran toward the backyard, as if she was carrying a big hot potato. She didn't dare to swing her arms easily. His feet were extremely fast, his face was tense, and his momentum... was as tragic as the wind rustling and the water turning cold, like a strong man gone and never to return.
She was obviously afraid of this thing, but she didn't want her daughter to get into trouble.
Behind this heroic act of risking one's life is actually the support of strong maternal love.
Yang Ruoqing followed immediately, and Yang Huazhong also came.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun stuffed all the jars into the stove, smashed the jars with iron tongs, and added firewood to it one by one, so that all the evil spirits could be completely transformed under the blazing flames. ash.
…
The remaining half of the bridge and road projects have been completely completed with the hundred taels of silver collected by the Gu family.
Going out from the village to Qingshui Town, the ten-mile road is paved with wide and flat bluestones. Even if it rains in the future, that section of the road will not be muddy. Wheelbarrows and wheelbarrows are still feasible, and it will not delay everyone at all. Go to work in the fields.
The stone bridge behind the village is also solidly built. With its arched bridge body, two carriages can pass side by side. The bridge hole is at a suitable height from the water surface, so it is not afraid of rising river water.
In addition, safety guardrails are built on both sides of the bridge. In order to prevent children from climbing on the guardrails, both ends are blocked.
From now on, everyone will go to work at the foot of the mountain, and students will go to study halfway up the mountain. It will be safe and secure to cross this bridge.
"Hey, I obviously took the lead in building the bridge and paving the road, but in the end all the credit fell to Qing'er and the others. What a hell!"
A new house in the village was also completed, and Yang Yongxian and Lao Yangtou moved back to the new house.
Yang Yongxian stood at the door of the house, looking at the new extending road not far away, his face full of melancholy.
"I feel like hell, you paid for an opera singer, and you slapped hundreds of silver notes on the table for everyone's benefit, but in the end, everyone ran to read Qing'er's memory, okay?" Yang Tou sat in the wheelchair next to him, looking into the distance, truly worried about Yang Yongxian.
But Yang Yongxian himself gritted his teeth: "Speaking of a thousand words, I made a wrong step, every step of the way. I was really tricked by that liar Sanwu!"
Old Yangtou frowned, "Don't mention Sanwu to me again. It's bad luck. If he hadn't died in the west room, the house wouldn't be in such a horrible state now!"
Yang Yongxian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the house behind him.
Originally, the house had three rooms on the front, facing south. The kitchen, woodshed, and utility room were on the opposite side. The toilet was in the backyard. A half-person-high mud wall surrounded all these rooms in the middle.
But now, Sanwu has died in the west room, and Qian has also died in the east room, so this time the house no longer faces north and south, but faces west and east. The three kitchen rooms remain in the same position, forming a layout with the main house. An 'L' shape.
"The direction of this house is really bad. I really don't like it. One wing is so burned by the sun that it's all gone, and the other wing can't see the sun at all."
Old Yangtou sat there and complained, "But what can we do? If we don't vacate that house where people have died, who would dare to live in it? Hey, this is all thanks to you!"
Yang Yongxian was ridiculed so much that he couldn't help but speak the truth.
"Master, please stop blaming me. It's not all my fault that you are in this situation. Why can I live in the old house and enjoy the support of everyone, but you can't? After all, it's You don’t know how to behave yourself!”
"You brat, what are you talking about? I don't know how to be a human being? Isn't it all because of you that I'm in this situation?" Old Yang patted the armrest of his wheelchair, his eyes tearing.
Yang Yongxian took a step back to prevent Old Yang from hitting him with a stick.
"Master, if you keep saying that, I don't like hearing it anymore."
"Ever since I was little, you have always said that I am the eldest grandson of Lao Yang's family. In fact, I have not received any great benefits because of this status. On the contrary, I have attracted a lot of hatred from other families. , make them feel that you favor me, and make them jealous."
"Master, your preference for me is just a mouthful. I am not good at all, and you have made me a target. Please don't hurt me again in the future. I beg you!"
After saying that, Yang Yongxian bent down and bowed to Lao Yang's head three times in a row.
Old Yangtou was so angry that his lips turned white, and his fingers trembled as he touched the stick next to the wheelchair. Yang Yongxian ran away when he saw this.
"Uncle Xingkui, come here and push my father in. I'll go out for a walk!"
Yu Xingkui was busy cooking in the kitchen. When he heard the noise, he hurried out. Yang Yongxian had already disappeared, leaving Old Yang sitting there with his eyes turned sideways in anger.
"This beast, a white-eyed wolf, has suffered all this for nothing..."
…
It finally caught up with the rain.
The rain was not very heavy, but it brought a burst of clarity to everyone.
"It's raining today, so I won't go out to work, so I will knit straw sandals at home in the morning. Today I will knit a dozen pairs at a time!"
After breakfast, Yang Ruoqing came to visit her parents' house, and Yang Huazhong was discussing the morning's work with Sun.
Mrs. Sun put away the dishes and responded with a smile: "Okay, you can knit straw sandals well. I made an appointment with Suyun this morning to grind rice flour together. Guilin is very sick and wants to eat rice flour cakes. I happened to grind some and we can do it." Steam some to eat, I haven’t eaten in a while.”
"Mom, I also want to eat fried rice noodles with green chili peppers." A crisp voice interrupted, and Yang Ruoqing's figure immediately appeared in front of them.
"Use lard to fry, and add some minced ginger and garlic, right?" Mrs. Sun turned around and asked with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, "Yes, mother knows my taste."
"I've kept the tastes of the five of you siblings in mind. I'll sort them out as soon as I've put away the dishes."
"Mom, you can go grind flour with the fifth aunt, but let's not do that at noon." Yang Ruoqing came over and took the bowl and chopsticks from Sun's hand. She glanced at Yang Huazhong next to her and then said, "I'll come over here." I want to say hello to you. Don’t light a fire to cook this afternoon. Let’s go to Luo’s house for dinner.”
"What? Is there a guest from the Luo family?"
"No, it's just our family. It's rainy and cool. I discussed it with aunt and planned to stew the big turtle. Later you all go over to have a sip of turtle soup and taste a piece of turtle meat."
