Changping Village.
"Auntie, the two little brothers' goat milk has been boiled. Grandma sent me to deliver it to you."
Yao Ying smiled and put the goat milk on the table. She took two steps back without any intention of leaving. Apparently she wanted to stay here and see if she could help.
Yang Ruoqing said polite words to Yao Ying, greeted Hong Xiu, and the two prepared to feed the children.
At this time, Hong Xiu asked Yao Ying: "Where are Yao Yue and the others?"
Yao Ying turned her head and looked out the window, "They all ran to find Dazhi after hearing that it was the end of the new year. They probably want to follow them to see the novelty!"
Hong Xiu was noncommittal about this, "It's really novel. The year I first came here happened to be New Year's Eve, and my baby also took me to see it. It's really lively and novel."
Yao Ying smiled and nodded.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's one custom in each place. Hey, where are you going, baby?"
Luo Baobao said without looking back: "As the host, I have to entertain Yao Yue and the others. My brother has to help grandpa set off firecrackers, so how can he have time to take care of them!"
When the last word came back to the bedroom, her people had already rushed out of the courtyard.
Yao Ying didn't feel anything strange about Luo Baobao's behavior, but Yang Ruoqing and Hong Xiu secretly exchanged glances.
What is the 'True Fragrance Law'? '
That’s it!
"Yao Ying, why don't you go and see the excitement together? It's a rare trip and you haven't gone anywhere." Yang Ruoqing persuaded Yao Ying again.
The four girls came over, and Xiao Qiao almost got off the carriage and lingered on the bed.
Huang Guier spends twelve hours every day, five hours sleeping, two hours dressing up, two hours pestering Dazhi, one hour bickering with Yao Yue, and the remaining hours just sulking alone.
As for Yao Yue, in addition to sleeping, she just visits and chats. She even visited the fifth house across the street and Cao Bamei's house. She is typically cheerful, lively and social.
As for Yao Ying, apart from sleeping, she stayed in the kitchen to help Wang Cuilian cook, helped Yang Ruoqing wash clothes, helped Blacksmith Luo clean the yard, boiled and delivered medicine to Xiao Qiao, taught Yao Yue not to be naughty, and helped Yang Ruoqing take care of her children. The whole family is reunited, and look, she is also doing the work of delivering goat milk.
Not to mention, with Yao Ying in the Luo family, Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing obviously felt a little more relaxed.
Another thing about Yao Ying is that she is not obsessed with ambition at all.
According to Yang Ruoqing's secret observation, compared to Huang Guier's naive pursuit of Dazhi, compared to the mutual agreement between Dazhi and Xiao Qiao, and compared to Yao Yue's coquettishness and cuteness in front of Dazhi, Yao Ying is like a better person than them. The eldest sister, who has been mature and stable for many years, stayed out of the matter and watched all this calmly and soberly, without any intention of competition or pursuit...
So much so that when she heard that Yang Ruoqing asked her to play together, Yao Ying just smiled sincerely.
"I have a boring temper, and I feel nervous when there are too many people, so it's better not to go."
She buried her head and looked at the clothes on her body, especially the apron around her waist. She smiled and said: "I have clothes for work. It doesn't matter if I wear them at home. I have to change clothes again when I go outside. It's too troublesome." Now, it’s more comfortable for me to help grandma cook the New Year’s Eve dinner at home.”
Yang Ruoqing didn't force it, "Then it's up to you. Don't be formal when you come here. Just treat it like your own home."
Yao Ying nodded, "Well, everyone treats me well. I live very comfortably here."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "That's good. Hong Xiu and I will be fine here. You can go about your business."
Yao Ying glanced at Yang Ruoqing and Hongxiu and realized that it was unnecessary for her to stay here, so she smiled, leaned out of the room.
Hongxiu stared at Yao Ying's retreating back and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Among the four girls, Yao Yue is innocent and romantic, and can make people put down their guard. Originally, I thought her rank was the highest, but now it seems that Yao Ying's methods are also very powerful. "
Yang Ruoqing narrowed her eyes: "Yao Ying is following the path of a good wife and loving mother. It seems that she doesn't fight or stand up, and she doesn't even try to get close to Zhi'er. But she has successfully won over my uncle and aunt. Now they are with As I sit down, I will praise Yao Ying for how virtuous she is, how she can manage a household, and how sensible she is..."
Hong Xiu smiled and shook his head: "These girls have the right intentions. They all want to marry a good man and be entrusted with them for the rest of their lives. Our ambition is indeed a dark horse. We are young candidates, and with the support of my sister and your brother-in-law, we have a bright future, so It’s understandable that these girls are desperate to marry him.”
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "I hope this is a healthy competition, allowing them to show their magical powers across the sea, but like Huang Guier... let alone Zhi'er, even I don't like it, so she can be the first to be eliminated."
Yao Ying took the route approved by her elders.
While Yao Yue was trying to please her elders, she also made Dazhi put down her guard against him and not resent him. Taking advantage of her younger age, she could approach Dazhi at will and frequently appear in Dazhi's field of vision.
As for Xiao Qiao, it was mainly Dazhi himself who fell in love with her.
Now it seems that the main competitors are Yao Ying and Xiao Qiao, and Yao Yue is the one who is ready to substitute at any time.
"Haha, if my future mother-in-law, sister, denies it in advance, Huang Guier is completely out of luck." Hong Xiu joked.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "Well, it's not like I'm denying it. I still respect Zhi'er's opinion. As long as he is determined to be with the girl, even if...even if it means nothing, I will acquiesce."
For example, Xiao Qiao...
Ever since that day when she and Zhi'er had a heart-to-heart analysis of what they would face in the future, Yang Ruoqing had not said a single word about it in the past two days.
Some things cannot be rushed, so give him some time to think.
What's more, the young man Muai itself is a thrilling and unforgettable thing. Making a choice requires calmness and self-control beyond one's age.
…
At the Tutu Temple in the south of the village, although Yang Ruoqing did not come to the scene in person, you can imagine the scene from the noise coming there. Men, women, old and young gathered together to watch Yang Huazhong and several highly respected village elders preside over there. During the worship ceremony, there were deafening sounds of firecrackers, thick smoke billowing, and the whole place was filled with mist. You couldn’t see the other side, and you were shouting at the top of your lungs, even though your mouth and nose were filled with sulfur from the firecrackers. The gunpowder smoke made me cough until tears and runny nose ran down my face, but the more I felt like that, the more festive the New Year atmosphere became.
"Tuanyuanyuan is so brave, the rubble on the roof is shaking, but neither of them even cried a word."
Hongxiu looked at the two babies and praised them softly.
Yang Ruoqing had noticed it before. Not only were the two of them not afraid, they also tried to raise their heads and look around, as if to see where the commotion was.
My younger brother Yuanyuan, who usually couldn't take his eyes away when he saw goat milk, wasn't concentrating anymore. After taking two sips, he blinked and looked around with his little eyes.
"Stop looking for it, grow up quickly, and my mother will take you to see the excitement next year at this time!"
