Looking back at Yang Ruoqing, she feels that she has been able to gain a firm foothold in this era solely by relying on her own wisdom and ability. It is not easy!
"Sister, why don't we go to Gonggong's house next door to pay our New Year greetings tonight, little brother?" Hongxiu asked again.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm not going at night. I plan to pick him up and visit him on the first day of the first lunar month tomorrow."
"Well, tomorrow is a good day." Hongxiu said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "But if I have time later, I have to go over and say hello to my parents. I'll go and visit them tomorrow morning. It just so happens that we will go to Mr. Sun's house in the morning."
"Sister, they are all asleep. I will help you look after the children. You should take the time to go there now. It will be time to have lunch in a while."
"Okay, then I'll go there now. I'll burn incense at the ancestral hall and the Earth Temple at the south end of the village in the afternoon. I'll be busy later."
When Yang Ruoqing came to the kitchen in the backyard of her parents' house next door, she found that Mrs. Sun was not busy in the kitchen, only Xiaohua was chopping chickens.
"My mother was there before, but my father came back later. I don't know what I said to my mother, so my mother took my father back to the house where they slept to talk about something."
"What are you talking about? This is still mysterious." Yang Ruoqing asked.
Xiaohua shook her head, "The fish were frying in the pot at that time. I didn't hear much. I seemed to hear them mention my aunt's name."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Okay, then you keep burning, and I'll go find them in the front room."
…
Or else, even if you are a hundred years old, as long as your parents are still there, then you, a centenarian, will always be a child who has not grown up in front of your parents!
No, when Yang Ruoqing came outside the house where Yang Huazhong and Sun were sleeping, she deliberately kept silent and hid at the door to eavesdrop on what her parents were whispering.
Just like many children in later generations like to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find letters that their parents exchanged when they were young.
When they grow up and get married, their children may pick up their mother’s WeChat mobile phone to browse Mommy’s WeChat chats under the pretext of looking for study materials.
Generations of people have been doing this, and their curiosity never fades!
Sure enough, Yang Ruoqing actually overheard something.
"...You're a man, what do you want me to say about you? How can you agree to such a thing without even thinking about it? How can it be done in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month? In the morning, the reunion will come to visit, and at noon Let's go to Sun's house together. We had agreed on this when Tang Yazi and Xiao An Lian'er were still at home. How come you forgot about it in Jiuxiaoyunwai?"
The person who said this was Sun.
The tone sounded like he was blaming Yang Huazhong.
This surprised Yang Ruoqing. This bun girl of hers would never be willing to talk to her father with such a loud voice her whole life. Yang Huazhong decided everything big or small, and she could do it.
This time, he actually got mad at his father, and even mentioned the reunion visit to pay New Year greetings. Could it be... that there was a time conflict?
Just when Yang Ruoqing was confused, Yang Huazhong's explanation voice also sounded: "Hey, this is my fault. When I saw her like that at Mei'er's house, I was so annoyed by Xiao Hei that I didn't even want to live. It was so hard that I didn't want to live anymore." When she mentioned that her eldest grandson came to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, she finally regained some energy. I couldn't bear it and agreed to it. I just thought that I would discuss it with you and arrange the time for visiting Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings. If you move a little bit, you can go to dinner at the worst, but you can’t help but expect that our two grandsons are coming to visit! It’s all my fault!”
Sun's voice sounded again. Not only did it not comfort Yang Huazhong, it made him feel even more aggrieved.
"You pretend to be your nephew and great-nephew in your heart, and I won't stop you. But Tuan Yuan Yuan is your grandson, so why should you put them first, right? The two children have never been here since they were born. Tomorrow is the first time for our family. If you ask Mei'er and the others to come over at noon, then we won't be able to accompany Tuan Yuan to Sun's house at noon. Why don't you discuss this with me? I'm so angry. Angry about this!"
In addition to apologizing, Yang Huazhong's words were full of annoyance and embarrassment.
Yang Ruoqing outside the room listened to the general idea, and combined with her own imagination, she basically understood what was going on.
It's just that the eldest grandson of my aunt's family wanted to come here during the first month of the year, but it ended up conflicting with the time Tuan Yuanyuan came to visit.
"Ahem..."
Yang Ruoqing coughed twice and knocked on the door again.
The argument in the room came to an abrupt end.
Yang Ruoqing then pushed open the door of the room and poked her head inside. She saw clearly Sun sitting by the bed and Yang Huazhong standing in front of the bed. She winked playfully and said, "Mom, I can come in easily." No?"
Yang Huazhong smiled awkwardly.
Mrs. Sun had raised her head, smiled at her tenderly and lovingly, and stretched out her hand: "You silly girl, what's the inconvenience for you? Just come in."
Yang Ruoqing entered the room with a smile, went straight to the bed and sat down next to Sun, and then raised her head to look at Yang Huazhong: "Dad, why do you look like this? You stand in front of my mother like a little kid who made a mistake. Where is the child, what happened?"
Yang Huazhong blushed and glanced at Sun. Sun had a smile on his face just now when he faced Yang Ruoqing, but when he met Yang Huazhong's eyes, the smile on Sun's face faded a lot.
This made Yang Huazhong even more uncomfortable, hesitating and not knowing where to start.
The same is true for Sun.
In the end, it was Mrs. Sun who said, "We have nothing to do. My daughter, don't think too much about it. What are you doing here?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "No, I just want to tell you that tomorrow's date for my family reunion has been changed."
"Ah? Changed? When did it change?" Sun was surprised.
Yang Huazhong, who was scratching his head and wondering how to face the mother and daughter, heard this and lowered his hands and looked over in surprise.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's like this. It's New Year's Eve tonight, and we definitely have to stay up late. We can't get up when we come over tomorrow morning, so we'll come over tomorrow morning and have lunch instead."
"Lunch? But, didn't you say you would go to Sun's house in the morning?" asked Sun again.
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "On the second day of the first lunar month, we can go to my grandpa's house. We are too tired to have breakfast. We want to sleep in during the first lunar month."
"Ah? Is this... like this?" Sun blinked and looked at Yang Huazhong in confusion.
Yang Huazhong said: "I think Qing'er's arrangement is not bad. Indeed, we have to stay up late tonight. In the early morning, Zhi'er and the others are going to the Tutu Temple to set off firecrackers. They have to open the door. When the sky is bright, they have to go to the ancestral hall to pay tribute to their ancestors." To celebrate the New Year, I wake up and fall asleep in and out all night long, which is very frustrating.”
"If he comes over for lunch, he and the baby can sleep a little longer, so they don't have to be tired during the Chinese New Year."
Mrs. Sun nodded lightly, "It's okay to come for lunch. It's also lively for us to go to Sun's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It's a double day. But Qing'er, your father came back earlier and said that your aunt's eldest grandson will also be here on the first day of the Lunar New Year." Come to the door, won't it be too noisy..."
