"Mom, you don't have to say that. It's my duty to marry Dabao and bear children for him." Jiang Guiling quietly tugged on Bao Suyun's sleeve, signaling her not to talk about this topic anymore.
Bao Suyun patted her hand gently, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
The women in the kitchen were busy in an orderly manner, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was particularly good.
Although Yang Ruoqing came here as a guest, she didn't like to sit solemnly in the main room. She liked to come to places with fireworks like the kitchen, mingle with her mother, aunt, and several sisters-in-law, and sit among the pots and pans. In the sound, everyone is heading towards the same goal, working hard to accomplish the same thing, dividing labor and cooperating, and the blood and family ties of the whole family have become closer together.
"Fourth Mom, Sister Ju'er's family of four is here." Mianmian called out in the yard.
"Oh, our grandsons are here. I have to take a look."
Ms. Liu put down her things and ran out of the kitchen.
Chen Biao was naturally greeted by Yang Yongqing and the others and went to the front yard to drink tea and sit down. The older child had already gone to play with Tiedan and the others, while the younger child was being held and teased by San Yatou and Mianmian.
"Mom, give me an apron, I'll go to the kitchen to help." Ju'er rolled up her sleeves and said to Mrs. Liu.
Ms. Liu said: "That's not a problem. You are back as a guest today."
"Hey, you are not welcome. My sister is getting engaged. As a sister, I should help."
"Ju'er is such a considerate and good sister. Sister, you teach your children well. Each of the girls you raise is better and more sensible than the last!"
A familiar loud voice sounded at the door of the house. Liu and Ju'er followed the sound and saw the eldest aunt from Liujiacun standing at the door, followed by her two daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law was holding the child in her hand, and the second daughter-in-law was pregnant. With their children in their arms, five people, three large and two small, blocked the entrance to the west room.
"Sister-in-law, are you here? Where are my eldest brother and two nephews?" Ms. Liu hurriedly greeted them enthusiastically.
"They are all drinking tea in the front yard." Sister-in-law of the Liu family said.
At this time, Ju'er also hurriedly came up to say hello to them next to Shun'er, then invited people into the house and grabbed some snacks for the two children.
During this period, the eldest sister-in-law of the Liu family held Mrs. Liu's hand and exchanged greetings. After saying a few words, the eldest sister-in-law asked the two daughters-in-law to bring in the gifts.
Brown sugar, noodles, dates, cloth, eggs, and an old hen with wings tied to it.
Mrs. Liu was very surprised when she saw these things. After so many years, her mother-in-law finally gave her a decent gift.
"And this, it's your eldest brother and I's wish to buy some new clothes for the three girls." Sister-in-law of the Liu family took out another red seal and stuffed it into Mrs. Liu's hand.
Mrs. Liu secretly weighed it and found that it would cost at least one or two hundred copper coins!
Big brother and sister-in-law are really bleeding out.
Mrs. Liu, who originally just wanted to go back to her parents' home to win the battle, now felt a little touched.
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Come, go to the front yard to drink tea and eat snacks."
Mrs. Liu personally held her sister-in-law's hand and walked forward. After walking two steps, she suddenly heard Ju'er asking her two cousins-in-law from behind: "Why haven't my second uncle and second aunt come over?"
The eldest daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment and glanced at her mother-in-law's back.
The second daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "We have talked about it. We even went over to invite her last night. The second uncle said that the male is the outsider and the female is the domestic. The second aunt takes care of these things and he doesn't care. But the second aunt said she knows. Today When we came over, we specially went to her door to invite them, but General Tie locked the door. We thought they had arrived before us. Where is my aunt's house? Why, haven't they arrived yet?"
Mrs. Liu shook her head, "Forget it, ignore them. Let's go and drink tea in the front yard first. I'll introduce you to someone from Third Girl's husband's family. The one who's here is the old patriarch..."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Liu family exclaimed: "Huh? The patriarch has come here in person? It can be seen that the Liu family values us three girls, so I have to go over and take a good look. By the way, I haven't met my nephew and son-in-law yet..."
…
At the entrance of the village, Lao Yangtou usually gets up at dawn, pushes his wheelchair, and sits in the yard to feed the cats.
This cat was brought over by little old Yangtou a while ago. It is a white cat with a snow-white body and a small black stripe on its head.
The reason was that Old Yangtou complained that there were rats in the house, and he was also deserted. After a quarrel with his most precious grandson Yang Yongxian last time, Yang Yongxian ran back to Baie Town, leaving Old Yangtou and Yu Xing behind. Kui and his wife were in this house, and other descendants of the old Yang family, except for occasionally sending rice and vegetables, did not come to chat with him at other times.
So Old Yangtou planned to raise a small animal or something to accompany him. Dogs couldn't be kept in the house, and fish, rabbits, turtles, etc. ignored people. After much thought, it was best to keep a cat.
It happened that little old Yangtou's big white cat had given birth not long ago, so he picked out a good-looking male kitten and brought it to old Yangtou.
In a blink of an eye, the little kitten has been with Old Yangtou for several days, and has become familiar with it. When he has nothing to do, he likes to lie on Old Yangtou and sleep in, and meows at him when he is hungry.
A smile gradually appeared on Lao Yangtou's face. He got up at dawn every day and sat in the yard with the cat in his arms, feeding it dried small fish...
However, today, at three o'clock in the morning, Yu Xingkui cooked breakfast and brought it in twice, and then brought the untouched breakfast back to the kitchen to heat it twice. The kitten also meowed at Old Yangtou for a long time, and finally it got tired. He found a corner to sleep by himself, but Lao Yangtou was still sitting on the bed with his clothes on, staring at the open window, watching the sunlight shining in the yard, and listening to the birds flying around busily. , but he himself had no intention of getting up at all.
"Old Uncle Yang, are you hungry? If you are, can I reheat your breakfast for you?"
Yu Xingkui entered the room again, stood in front of the bed and asked in a low voice.
Old Yang shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't live long and I won't even feel hungry!"
"Old Uncle Yang, please don't say that. You have a strong body and can live a long life..."
"Haha..." Old Yangtou laughed dryly and waved his hand, "Come on, if I really live to be a hundred years old, why don't I be regarded as a piece of shit by my children and grandchildren?"
"Old Uncle Yang, please don't say that. The third, fourth and fifth sons are all filial people. This new house and the new furniture in the house were all bought by them!"
There was sarcasm in Lao Yangtou's eyes, but a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Come on, there is a wedding in the fourth room today. All the relatives and friends are invited, but I'm the only one who didn't come to call me. The fourth brother didn't come, and the third brother didn't come. 5. They all pretend not to know that there is an old man like me. As for the other grandchildren and daughters-in-law below, let alone expect them. They are all like this, and they still care that I can live over a hundred years old? I'm afraid they all hope that I will die early. It saves you worry!"
