As the elder sister, I have a bad feeling that my younger brother's marriage line is probably going to be bumpy!
From dawn to noon, the tofu is made one after another and distributed to each household in proportion to the amount of soybeans they participate in.
Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei carried a bucket full of tofu home, followed by the Xiuxiu siblings happily following behind.
Yang Huazhong chased them out and called out to them: "Yongjin, tomorrow I will make maltose at my house. If you want to make it too, just bring the malt over and let's join together."
Yang Yongjin laughed and said, "I can't make it to my third uncle. We'll take our time at home tomorrow."
"Isn't that troublesome?"
"Hey, the Li family and his son are here to help. They sent a message two days ago."
Yang Huazhong understood, smiled and waved his hand to let them go back.
In the backyard, Mrs. Sun asked Yang Huazhong: "How do you like it? Come in and make some sweets together?"
After Yang Huazhong explained the situation, Mrs. Sun said: "No wonder, it turns out that the in-laws and son-in-law came to help. The in-laws we found for this embroidery are really good. Yesterday evening, I saw Li Wei pulling a cart full of pine hair to deliver. Come here!"
Yang Huazhong nodded, but did not talk to Da Sun.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yang Huazhou not far away, and found that the fifth brother's face was not very good, and he was packing his things silently.
Mrs. Sun also noticed it from the side, so she quickly found an excuse to call the eldest Mrs. Sun, who was still croaking, to the kitchen.
"Oh, why don't we just have dinner at your place at noon? You've already said hello to me about this little thing before. Why do you have to bring me to the kitchen to say it again?"
"My sister, can you please stop praising the boy and his in-laws in front of Lao Wu?"
"ah?"
Da Sun was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something.
She raised her hand and hit herself in the mouth.
"Hey, I have such a bad mouth, why can't I shut it up!"
Mrs. Sun was very upset.
The marriage between Mianmian and the Jiang family was ruined, and Lao Wu must have felt uncomfortable. He even made short remarks in front of the dwarf. No wonder Lao Wu didn't say a word!
"Sister, don't be upset. Think about it later and try not to talk about your children's marriage."
This area has been a sensitive topic in Lao Yang's family recently.
According to Bao Suyun, Lao Wu pretended not to care on the surface, doing whatever he wanted to do outside, but he kept everything in his heart.
A few days ago, the third girl got married and returned home. The fifth girl went home after drinking and fell asleep. Most likely, she was touched again.
"Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. The marriage of their children is a serious concern for parents. The fifth child is worried. Why shouldn't I be anxious for Xiao An? It seems that another year has passed, and one year older, and the marriage has not happened yet. I don’t even have any shadow hair…”
…
Those who worry about their children are not only Yang Huazhou and Sun, but also Yang Huamei.
No, when it was dark, Yang Huamei came to Yang Huazhong's house.
"Meier, you came just in time. We are making tofu for the New Year this year. Your third sister-in-law picked up a few pieces and was about to ask me to deliver them to you. You happened to be here. Remember to take them back later!"
In the main room, Yang Huazhong was in a good mood and pointed to a large open bowl on the table and told Yang Huamei.
The open bowl is very big, and the tofu as big as the palm of your hand is neatly packed with seven or eight pieces, which is enough for Yang Huamei's family to eat two or three meals.
"It's so much, how much do you want for it? Thank you so much, Third Brother." Yang Huamei thanked Yang Huazhong and looked around.
"What are you looking for?" Yang Huazhong asked again.
Yang Huamei looked a little unnatural, "I'm looking for my third sister-in-law..."
"What do you want from your third sister-in-law?" Yang Huazhong asked smoothly.
Yang Huamei hesitated, looking a little nervous.
"Third brother, things between women..."
Yang Huazhong understood and immediately stopped asking. He pointed to the backyard and said, "Your third sister-in-law is cleaning tofu in the backyard kitchen. Go find her!"
"Eh!"
"By the way, remember to take this bowl of tofu back later!"
"Well, thank you third brother."
Looking at Yang Huamei's back as she walked away, Yang Huazhong scratched his head and said, "Mysterious nagging, I can't tell my brother about this. No wonder they say a sister-in-law is like a mother, it's true at all."
But Yang Huazhong was still very happy to see that their aunt and sister-in-law were harmonious.
In the backyard kitchen, Mrs. Sun was so busy that her feet didn't even touch the floor.
This year, there are a lot of tofu at home, and Mrs. Sun is sorting them by category. Those that are soaked in salt water are reserved for entertaining guests in the first month, and those that are used to make braised tofu and fermented bean curd.
Mrs. Sun's mind was filled with memories, and she remembered everything clearly. The arrangements for this moment were also very orderly.
"Third sister-in-law, you, are you busy?"
Yang Huamei stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Mrs. Sun who was so busy inside that she couldn't touch the floor, and asked hesitantly.
Mrs. Sun was very happy when she saw it was Yang Huamei.
He put down his work and came over to take her hand: "Mei'er, come here. I left some tofu porridge for you at noon. I put it on the small stove to warm it. Can I scoop it out for you to drink?"
Yang Huamei had something on her mind, but she was not in the mood to drink tofu nao.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother, I can't drink."
"Why can't you drink it? When I gave Mom the tofu cake, she mentioned you specifically and said that you like sweet drinks. Look, the sugar has been prepared for you!"
"Sister-in-law, I really don't want to drink. I, I, I came to see you for something."
"What's the matter, Mei'er?"
Sun also stopped, turned around and looked at Yang Huamei seriously.
Facing Sun's sincere and pure eyes, Yang Huamei felt weak and lowered her head.
"What's up, Mei'er, if you have anything to say, just tell your sister-in-law here. We're not outsiders."
Yang Huamei blushed and whispered: "Sister-in-law, can I borrow some money from you?"
"Borrow money? What do you want to borrow money for?" asked Sun in surprise.
Yang Huamei's face was full of tangles, "This... Third sister-in-law, don't ask. Just see if you can find a way to give me a few taels of silver. Also, my third brother... don't tell him."
This time, Mrs. Sun was even more confused.
"Meier, borrowing money is a trivial matter. If you don't want to tell me the reason, my sister-in-law won't ask."
"It's just that you are making things difficult for me by asking me to hide it from your third brother. You have to know that your third brother and I have been married for so many years and we don't hide anything from each other."
Yang Huamei took Sun's arm and shook it gently, "Good sister-in-law, we have to be flexible. Just for me, make an exception, okay?"
"this……"
"Sister-in-law, you are my biological sister-in-law, I beg you!"
"I promise, when I go to Shuanzi Academy to pay the monthly payment during the Chinese New Year, I will pay it back to you immediately, okay?"
"Hey, okay, okay!"
Sun is a soft-hearted person after all.
"Then how many taels do you want?" she asked again.
Yang Huamei thought for a while: "Two taels, that's almost it."
Two taels of silver can be paid back immediately after school starts.
"Then you wait here, I'll go back to the house and get it for you."
