Wang Hongquan's reaction was really beyond Yang Huamei's expectations.
So much so that she was stunned, and finally Wang Hongquan reminded her: "If you want to go, go quickly. After dinner time, your mother will have finished her meal."
Yang Huamei came back to her senses and nodded.
Wang Hongquan saw that she seemed to be taking the baby out with her, and said, "Isn't it convenient to take the baby with you?"
Yang Huamei said: "It's okay. I'll tie it on my back and I can still hold the bowl in my hand."
Wang Hongquan hesitated and said, "I haven't officially been to his mother-in-law's house yet, have I?"
This sentence suddenly reminded Yang Huamei.
She paused and was in a dilemma.
Yes, I haven’t officially been to Lao Ga’s mother-in-law’s house since the baby was born. I originally planned to go after the full moon, and we had to follow the customs in this area.
In advance, Lao Wang’s family had to send chickens, ducks, fish, meat, tobacco and alcohol to Lao Ga’s house.
Then someone from Lao Ga's mother-in-law's house comes to pick up the baby again. They have to send ten thousand whips to pick her up, pay for the meeting, buy new clothes and shoes for the baby from head to toe, and have to give Dabai a happy cake to pick out and deliver among the neighbors. .
Originally they planned to visit Lao Ga's mother-in-law after the baby was one month old, but Hongmei and Dabai took the baby to a shop in town in a hurry.
They said there was no rush about the door-to-door business. It was a critical period for the store's business, so they had to focus on business.
After the baby finally passed the 100th day, Yang Huamei saw that the business in the shop had stabilized, and she asked her to come to Lao Yang's house.
This time Dabai and the others did not object and were actively preparing. As a result, they caught up with the Xiang family and the Luo family, and troubles occurred one after another.
Naturally, Lao Yang's family has no intention of having their children come to their door at this time. If they are not in the mood, it must be very perfunctory.
Yang Huamei only has such a precious grandson at the moment, how can she be willing to let him visit her in such perfunctory circumstances?
Her big baby should appear on a suitable occasion, with all the stars supporting him, and he should not be wronged.
Finally, after waiting for the Xiang family again, the Luo family's affairs were settled, and everyone's lives seemed to be back on track. Yang Huamei's desire to have the eldest baby come to her again came to life.
She also mentioned it to Mrs. Tan a few days ago. Mrs. Tan meant that it was already late October, so she might as well wait for more than half a month.
It's been more than half a month since the twelfth lunar month. In the twelfth lunar month, people like Da'an, Xiao'an, Yang Huazhou, Yang Yongjin and others who are outside will all come back. Then the old Yang family will be reunited.
Yang Huamei also felt that the time was good, and thought about waiting until Dabai returned to the village to discuss it with him.
"Okay, then I'll keep the baby at home, and wait until the twelfth lunar month when I come to visit my baby, and then my baby will make his official debut."
Yang Huamei decisively took the baby off her back and put it back in the cradle next to it.
Wang Hongquan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled as he looked at the child in the cradle, who was pouting and staring at the beams on the roof. He was still smiling.
"Isn't our baby too well-behaved? I just hold him and lie down. I rarely hear him crying. Even if the people around him are making a noise, he should still sleep. Even if he can't wake up even if he is beaten by thunder, he is still sleeping. When I woke up, I lay obediently alone and stared at the roof in a daze. How could a boy be so obedient? How could he be so obedient!"
Yang Huamei liked to hear Wang Hongquan's words, but she didn't.
While she was tucking her eldest grandson back into bed, she was still retorting to Wang Hongquan: "A baby has its own personality. Who said that male babies have to be irritable and noisy?"
"I see that Tuantuan from the Luo family is better behaved than ours. She doesn't even cry when she's hungry. Yuanyuan beside her burst into tears. Tuantuan is all watching and waiting quietly. Sister-in-law Cuilian and my third sister-in-law. They all joked that Tuantuan was afraid of being a girl."
"Ah? Are you saying that the eldest twin of Qing'er's family is also like this?" Wang Hongquan raised his eyes and asked Yang Huamei.
He had never seen what the baby looked like, but he only heard Wang Hongtao and others mention it a few times, saying that he was a nephew and his uncle, and that the elder twin looked like Da'an and the younger twin resembled Xiao'an.
"If that's really the case, I'll be relieved, hehe, hehe..."
Seeing her father-in-law smiling, Yang Huamei was unhappy.
She felt that before this, her father-in-law seemed to have something hanging there, and that hanging thing was still related to her big baby!
And, it’s still a bad thing!
"Dad, what did you want to say earlier?" Yang Huamei lowered her face and asked with a wary look.
Wang Hongquan was stunned for a moment, a smile condensed on his face.
"No, it's nothing."
"You lied to me!"
"Why did I lie to you so well? It's nothing, it's really nothing!" Wang Hongquan waved his hands repeatedly, his face red and thick with anxiety.
But Yang Huamei was still dubious.
Seeing that she couldn't figure out the reason, she warned Wang Hongquan sternly: "I give you food and drink, and I am filial to you, all for the sake of the dead Shuanzi. Don't try to take advantage of my darling." , and you are not allowed to think about this thing. There are many good things that you can't think of, and the bad things will come as soon as you think about them. You'd better settle down and do what you should do, and don't think about it all day long. Xi wants to think nonsense and cause trouble for others!"
After Yang Huamei put down this warning, she left with the meatball bowl.
Wang Hongquan shook his shoulders, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Well, I didn’t even get the three sentences together, so I was scolded again.
It's really pitiful when people get older and lose their ability to work.
Whether you live a good life or not, it all depends on the mood of your children.
Suddenly, the braised pork in front of him no longer smelled good, and the shochu also lost its taste. The old man was left alone to pour and drink by himself, sighing vaguely.
Old, old, useless, annoying everywhere...
When Yang Huamei walked into the backyard of Lao Yang's house with a bowl of meatball soup, it happened to be lunch time.
The warm winter sun hangs directly above my head. The backyard of Lao Yang's house is not big, just a square yard. In the middle of the yard is a large jujube tree that cannot be hugged by two people.
This jujube tree has been there since Yang Huamei was a child. Every autumn, the tree is always covered with jujubes of all sizes.
The brothers were so greedy that my mother wouldn't allow them to eat them. If any of the brothers disobeyed and secretly hit the dates from the jujube tree, my mother would know about it.
Because the first thing my mother does when she gets up every morning is count dates.
After counting the dates, my mother took out a long bamboo pole to knock the dates. Wash the dates and put two handfuls into Yang Huamei's pocket for her to use as snacks. The rest was stewed with sugar until they were cooked. Let her eat and drink the meat and soup.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother should all want to eat it, but they are all adults. Even if they want to eat it, they are embarrassed to say it.
Fourth brother and fifth brother are different.
The fifth brother stared at the jujube trees and climbed up to steal the dates when he got the chance. When his mother caught him, he would be beaten. The fifth brother had a strong skin and even when his mother beat him around the yard with a broom, he would not forget to stuff big dates into his mouth.
