In the early morning in Changping Village, the breeze is gentle.
On the road at the entrance of the village, two carriages were parked on the side of the road.
Yang Huaming was driving in the car in front. Old Yangtou had already sat in the car. The curtains of the car were rolled up to let the cool morning breeze blow into the car and not make him feel stuffy.
The old daughter-in-law Yang Huamei and the son-in-law Wang Shuanzi stood next to the carriage. Yang Huamei stuffed a bowl of hard-boiled eggs and a few green onion pancakes into the old Yangtou's hands.
"Dad, I cooked this early, you can take it with you to eat on the way."
Old Yangtou took the hot bowl and glanced at Yang Huamei approvingly: "My daughter is so considerate. None of your sisters-in-law came out to give me food."
When the old man said this, he deliberately glanced at the back of Yang Huaming in front of the carriage.
"It's no use raising sons, they're just white-eyed wolves." He muttered again.
"father!"
Yang Huamei called Lao Yangtou in a low voice, stretched out her hand and gently tugged on Lao Yangtou's sleeve, signaling him not to say such things, while quietly glancing at the fourth brother's face.
Yang Huaming picked his nostrils and turned around, his eyes falling directly on the bowl held in Old Yangtou's hand.
"Scallion pancake? Is this posted by Meier?"
"Yes, Fourth Brother, I posted it. Do you want to try a piece?"
"of course yes!"
Yang Huaming reached out and grabbed a piece of scallion pancake. When he took it back, his wrist was caught by Lao Yangtou.
"Meier gave this to me, it's not your share!"
"Hey, this food guard is just a piece of cake, old man, don't be stingy!"
"Not even half a picture, go, go, go!"
Lao Yangtou slapped Yang Huaming's hand away and held the bowl tightly in his arms.
Yang Huaming rolled his eyes, turned around and picked his nostrils, shaking out the boogers in an exaggerated manner.
Old Yangtou frowned and looked down at the distorted cake. He hesitated, tore off a piece and threw it on the ground.
"Even if I throw it away to feed the dogs, I won't give it to you to eat!" he added.
Beside him, Yang Huamei looked embarrassed.
She comforted Old Yang with her eyes, and then walked to the front of the carriage and whispered to Yang Huaming: "Fourth brother, you clearly know his temper, why do you need to tease him?"
The fourth sister-in-law and the third girl are living at home during this period. When the fourth brother goes out in the morning, they must have made breakfast and eaten full. They really don't want scallion pancakes!
Yang Huaming smiled at Yang Huamei's "hehe" and said, "I'm bored, so I'll just tease you a little bit."
Yang Huamei shook her head helplessly and stopped dwelling on the topic. She only told Yang Huaming: "Slow down on the road and find a place to have a meal at noon before continuing on your way."
Yang Huaming responded. At this time, Wang Shuanzi also came over, with a bundle in his hand.
"Fourth brother, I'll leave it to you."
Wang Shuanzi said respectfully to Yang Huaming and handed over the bundle in his hand.
Yang Huaming took it in his hand and weighed it, "Are these clothes given to Xiao Hei? Why doesn't their school have a holiday this summer?"
Yang Huamei explained: "It is said that there will be about ten days of leave when the rice is harvested, and I have to continue reading now."
Yang Huaming nodded and put the baggage on the pedal at his feet.
"Don't worry, I'll pass by Qingshui Town later and I'll stop by to deliver the things to my nephew."
Yang Huamei and Wang Shuanzi looked at each other, both happy and grateful.
Behind the carriage, Yang Huazhou was driving. Yang Huazhong and Yu Xingkui were putting Lao Yangtou's luggage into the carriage.
Because Old Yangtou said that he did not plan to come back from this trip to Baie Town, and would stay with Yang Yongxian from now on.
So the car not only carries the clothes needed in the summer, but also the autumn clothes, shoes and socks.
Originally, the old man wanted to bring his winter cotton-padded jacket, trousers, and fire barrel bedding, but unfortunately the carriage was not big enough to fit them in. Yang Huazhong promised to wait until the weather got cold before giving them to him, so he gave up.
After loading the things, Yang Huazhong pulled Yu Xingkui aside and stuffed ten taels of silver into his hand.
"Third brother, what are you..."
"Shh!"
Yang Huazhong glanced at Old Yang's head, and then pulled Yu Xingkui behind the carriage.
"Three taels of silver is this month's wages, and another three taels is the prepaid wages for next month. Don't tell the old man about the remaining four taels of silver. Keep it secretly, just in case Yongxian is not reliable, you and the old man At least I will have money for travel expenses, so I won’t end up living on the streets.”
"Third brother, as promised, when I get to Baie Town, I will ask Yongxian for next month's salary. You can take back these three taels of silver..."
"Take it!"
Yang Huazhong held Yu Xingkui's hand, "Just take it if I tell you to. When you get to Baie Town, keep an eye on the old man to prevent him from being stupid."
"As for your family, don't worry. I will go take care of your family every once in a while."
Yu Xingkui was so moved that he almost knelt down in front of Yang Huazhong.
"Are you okay? Are you still whining? Can you leave?"
On the carriage in front, Lao Yangtou was urging him impatiently for the third time.
"Let's go now." Yang Huazhong responded and patted Yu Xingkui on the shoulder: "Get in the car and hurry up while the morning is cool!"
…
"Third brother, let's send the person to Yongxian like this, okay?"
Looking at the carriage going away, Yang Huamei couldn't help but worry, and whispered to Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong said: "This is not because we want to send him away, but because our father wants to live with Yongxian life and death. There is no way to stop him."
Yang Huamei sighed, "Yongxian has built a lake there for business, so I'm afraid he won't have time to take care of our father."
Yang Huazhong added: "I have Yu Xingkui taking care of me. Frankly speaking, our father just wants to change his life in order to be fresh."
The real situation is not like this, but Yang Huazhong doesn't want to say too much to Yang Huamei.
He was afraid that Yang Huamei wouldn't be able to hold back and tell Tan about it, and the matter that had been calmed down quietly would be picked up and made a fuss again.
Especially in front of Wang Shuanzi, Yang Huazhong didn't want his family's scandal to be publicized.
"How have you been studying lately, Xiao Hei? I often see you bringing things to school."
As Xiaohei's third uncle, Yang Huazhong is still very concerned about his nephew.
Especially Xiao Hei is still studying. He is the first person in the old Wang family to be sent to school in the town, so he deserves more attention.
When it comes to Xiao Hei studying, Wang Shuanzi's expression is a little bitter.
But Yang Huamei was different. Her waist was straightened, her head was raised, and there were many bright and vivid things in her eyes.
"How can I say this? Haha, anyway, every time I send something to him, he always comes out of the school. It's no longer like before when you can't find anyone in the school and you have to go to the store behind to find it." She said.
Yang Huazhong nodded: "It's fine if I'm in the school. With the teacher watching over me, he would be too embarrassed not to read when others are studying."
Yang Huamei said: "Yes, I think so too, but Xiao Hei's appetite has increased, but he has lost weight. I think 80% of it is because of studying."
