It is precisely because of Hongxiu's temperament that she was able to overcome all difficulties and stay by Yang Ruoqing's side, and after some training she became her right-hand man.
Wang Cuilian had a solemn look on her face, patting her chest and saying, "Don't worry, Qing'er, I won't mention it to anyone, including your uncle."
"As long as I know what's going on, I won't say, ask, or reveal anything in front of that kid in Hongxiu."
Only then did Yang Ruoqing feel relieved.
"However, Auntie has a gracious request and wants to hear your opinion."
"Auntie, you want to hurt Hong Xiu more and be nicer to her, right?"
"Ah? Have you guessed this? I haven't even said it yet!" Wang Cuilian opened her eyes wide with shock on her face.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Don't worry, aunt, you can be nice to her however you want to be, why should I have any objections!"
In my heart, you are all family members, and it is not too late for me to be happy that you can live in harmony!
Near the Tutu Temple in the south of the village.
Except for the women who cooked the New Year's Eve dinner and were unable to come out, all those who could walk, regardless of gender, old or young, came to the Tutu Temple at the south end of the village.
The Tutu Temple is located in the middle of a large field, so the nearby fields and field ridges are densely packed with men, women, adults and children who come to watch the fun.
Yang Huazhong was an upright person. He had already made plans with several respected village elders in the village, and took out a red rope and stretched it around the Tutu Temple.
Each household sends a representative in to burn incense, while others stay outside and are not allowed to cross the red rope without permission.
This is a rule in the village, and it has been implemented in this way over the years, so even though it is lively here, it is still orderly.
Relying on his agility and size advantage, Luo Baobao squeezed into the crowd with a few clicks of his red sleeves and occupied a relatively high field ridge, just enough to see clearly within the red rope.
"Look, aunt, the god of the earth is worshiped in that small house, also called the City God."
City God?
Hong Xiu narrowed her eyes. Her mother worshiped Buddha before she died. She knew the names and merits of many Bodhisattvas.
But the City God should belong to Taoism, right? She had heard this name before, and it was similar to the Kitchen God, but she was not sure about the specific responsibilities.
Hong Xiu is only moderately interested in this area. You know it, but you don't know it.
Seeing the twinkling light in Luo Baobao's eyes, Hongxiu smiled slightly and asked Luo Baobao in a low voice: "What does the City God care about?"
Luo Baobao made a joke earlier and was waiting for Hongxiu to ask.
So he said excitedly: "I heard from my eldest grandma and Ga Po that the city god and the county magistrate are similar officials, but one is in charge of the world of heaven and the other is in charge of the underworld."
"Oh?" Hongxiu blinked, this is interesting.
"My mother-in-law and the others also said that when children in our village land, they have to go to Li Zheng to report, and Li Zheng will report to the Bao Zhang, who will then register with the county government."
Hongxiu nodded. She knew the responsibilities of the county magistrate because her family had produced several Jinshi and Juren in the past, and she had an uncle who was sent to work as a county magistrate.
"What about the City God?" she asked again.
Luo Baobao continued happily: "For example, if someone dies in our village, then when his soul reaches the underground, he will first go to the Earth Temple to report to the City God, and then the City God will file the report, and then he can go to the underworld to go to various places. kind of process.”
Hongxiu suddenly realized, raised her hand and touched Luo Baobao's hair: "You know so much, it's amazing!"
Hongxiu's praise was undoubtedly the best reward for Luo Baobao, which made her want to tell her story.
Holding Hong Xiu's arms, the two of them stood close together. While watching the incense burning, they continued to tell Hong Xiu about the customs and some old-fashioned legends here.
Hong Xiu had a smile on her lips and was a patient enough listener.
The two stood in the crowd, one moving and the other quiet, one lively and sweet, the other dignified and elegant, undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery in the crowd.
The charm of the two of them being together is even greater, like a huge magnet that attracts the attention of people around them.
Luo Baobao is a popular figure because of her parents, but because of her family background and her own personality and fists, those men and boys only dare to watch her from a distance.
But Hong Xiu is different. She has a fresh face, and her temperament is not aggressive at all. At first glance, she completely meets the standards of a docile woman, and she is also a standard straight man.
So most of these eyes fell on Hongxiu, especially because Hongxiu was older than Luo Baobao. Regardless of her figure or other aspects of development, she was very feminine, unlike Luo Baobao who still had some childishness.
So some men whispered to each other:
"Whose daughter is that? She's so beautiful that it makes people's hearts itch."
"Want to know? Go find out for yourself, maybe you can find something!"
"I'm asking about your size. Do you want me to be cannon fodder?"
"Can a girl from the Luo family be a virgin? Can she be a girl from an ordinary family? You still don't have to ask about it. Even if you ask about it, you can't reach it!"
The men were enjoying themselves from a distance, and it was over with a few jokes. However, there were those who were overconfident and felt that they were pretty good and could give it a try.
And that person was none other than Yang Yongqing, who relied on the fact that he and Yang Ruoqing were cousins.
When Yang Yongqing saw Hongxiu for the first time, he couldn't take his eyes away.
Akito doesn't tell secrets. He has no other hobbies. Women only like good-looking things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have picked up a crazy Mo family in the first place.
Yang Yongqing patted the dirt on his clothes, spit in his palms, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and finally wiped it on his head, leaving his temples and forehead smooth and spotless, and then squeezed through the crowd. Run over to Hongxiu.
During this process, many people were naturally squeezed and staggered. Faced with the yelling around him, Yang Yongqing remained calm, like a saint who was immune to this.
Finally squeezing in front of Luo Baobao and Hong Xiu, Yang Yongqing put his hands behind his back and greeted Luo Baobao with what he thought was the brightest smile.
"Niece, are you here to watch the fun too? Eh..."
He showed an expression of surprise and surprise, as if he had just seen Hongxiu, "This girl is... your friend?"
When faced with being approached by a strange man, Hongxiu usually chooses to ignore it without knowing it.
When this strange man is acquainted with the female companion next to her, she will look at him calmly, and then wait for the female companion's reaction before making the next move.
Although she looked docile and kind, her smile when facing a strange man was also very stingy. No, she took a look at the "shiny" man in front of her, then looked away and quietly waited for Luo Baobao's response.
Although Luo Baobao is careless, he already knows the truth in his heart. Although he doesn't like Yang Yongqing's behavior, he is his mother's first cousin and his legitimate uncle after all.
