Wanghai County, Changping Village.
After breakfast, someone came over from Lao Sun's house, and it was Dajie.
"Sister, where's the little reunion? I'll pick them up and come to your door!"
Dajie is chubby and smiles like a steamed stuffed bun. Although after being elected, he went to Huguang County to become the second-in-command after the county magistrate and developed his ability to do things outside. But when he returned to Changping Village, he In this place, Dajie is still the kind-hearted person with big ambitions wearing big glasses.
"Oh, I want you to come and pick him up in person. Isn't this too intrusive?" Yang Ruoqing smiled and let Dajie into the room.
The temperature outside was low and the temperature inside was high. As soon as he entered the room, the heat hit his face. Dajie's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of white mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
But he was already prepared. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, took off his glasses and wiped them there while saying, "Sister, you are serious. I am idle when I am idle. It is good for your health to walk around and stretch your muscles!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.
The eldest aunt often talks about Dajie to the Sun family. Every time she talks about Dajie, the eldest aunt sighs and has a sad look on her face.
Why?
Auntie is worried about Dajie's health.
In the words of the eldest aunt, when Dajie came home on vacation, the living conditions she saw were that after eating, he would go to the study to read, or teach Shunzi to read and practice calligraphy. When he was done, he would eat, sleep, and then read.
Your body is getting fatter day by day, and your eyes are getting darker and darker day by day. If you take off your glasses, you will be blinded. If you take a few steps, you will be out of breath. If you bend down to pick something up, your cheeks will turn red...
So my aunt wanted to urge Dajie to get up and move around if she had anything to do.
"Well, walking around in moderation is indeed better for the body, and reading will also make you more energetic." Yang Ruoqing echoed Dajie's words and then Wang Cuilian and the others came over.
Things to go to Sun's house for New Year greetings were prepared overnight, so everyone went out just like yesterday, holding the children, picking things, chatting and laughing.
Yesterday I went to Yang Huazhong's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I took Xiao Qiao with me. Today I went to Sun's house. Xiao Qiao said that he didn't think he would go.
After all, yesterday we went to Dazhi's Ga Po's house, and today we went to Ga Po's natal house. With a slap in the face, Xiao Qiao was afraid that going there would cause trouble to the Sun family.
In the end, Yang Ruoqing said: "It's no trouble. If the Sun family is far away, then we won't force you. It's just a few steps across the road, diagonally across the road. Let's go over and have a meal together. It's lively!"
Yang Ruoqing has such a character. Before you became my daughter-in-law, I was polite to you on the surface, but picky in my heart.
If you dare to offend me or do something bad, that will be Huang Guier's fate, and I won't be polite to you at all.
But if you and my son are in love and are determined to be together, even if the wedding has not yet been held, I will treat you as my daughter-in-law in my heart, the woman who will accompany my son for the rest of his life, and a member of the family. elements.
With such a relationship, Yang Ruoqing is very protective of her little one, and she will even try her best to praise Xiao Qiao.
Taking her to Lao Yang's and Sun's families for New Year's greetings was her clearest recognition of Xiao Qiao. It also sent a clear message to her relatives and friends at home that Xiao Qiao is the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family. Protect her, love her, give me Yang Ruoqing's face, and give my Xiao Qiao's face.
Faced with such praise from her future mother-in-law, Xiao Qiao was really flattered.
She never dreamed that she could actually be accepted by Yang Ruoqing, and she would also take care of her like this.
"Okay, then I'll go!" she said softly.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and touched Xiao Qiao's hair: "This is so good."
Dazhi on the side looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as if they were mother and daughter, and was secretly pleased. The burden on his shoulders was heavy, containing various gifts such as fish, meat, tobacco, and wine for the Sun family, but Dazhi felt that My whole body feels energetic again, and I can walk as fast as flying.
Yang Ruoqing secretly told Xiao Qiao: "Zhi'er is a scholar and has never done any physical work. This time you are going home to celebrate the New Year, and he has become a porter."
Xiao Qiao also covered his mouth and smiled, saying: "A brother is like a father. If my uncle is not at home, he should shoulder this responsibility."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's true."
At the door of Sun's house, Lao Suntou, his uncle, Yang Huazhong, and Da'an were all waiting there.
Yang Huazhong and the others went to the Sun family to pay New Year greetings one step earlier than the Luo family. When he saw the Luo family coming, his uncle immediately ran to the side. There was a string of dismantled firecrackers hanging on a tree over there. My uncle lit the firecrackers with the firecrackers in his hand, then ran back covering his ears.
Here, Yang Huazhong and the others have already helped take over the burden on Da Zhi's shoulders. The eldest Sun family, Sun family, and Huang Mao who were cooking in the kitchen also ran to the yard after hearing the news, surrounded by everyone. Brother Yuan went to the main room.
"You're so brave, you even let off the firecrackers without being scared to tears!" Mrs. Sun and Yang Ruoqing said loudly.
Sometimes some things are fun. For example, you are used to the sound and decibel of normal speech, but after you have just experienced a deafening sound of firecrackers, even if the firecrackers have been set off, you still speak with a high voice. The decibels are much higher than usual.
Yang Ruoqing attributed this to the sequelae of firecrackers.
"Auntie, you can't scare the two brothers with your loud voice on weekdays, let alone this firecracker?"
Yang Ruoqing teased with a smile.
The main reason was that the eldest Sun came over to speak, and her voice was too loud. The previous firecrackers did not deafen Yang Ruoqing's ears, but the eldest aunt talked close to her ears and almost broke Yang Ruoqing's eardrums.
The eldest Sun grinned, "Then you have to thank me even more. I usually strengthen the courage of your two boys!"
Yang Ruoqing was happy, "There's nothing wrong with that!"
The group went into the main room to drink tea, warm up the fire, say auspicious New Year greetings, and occasionally tease the two reunited brothers.
After a while, Xiang Shengnan, Xiaoduo and his wife came with their children.
After a while, Xiaojie and Changban also took their daughter back from town by carriage to pay New Year's greetings.
"I wanted to come back yesterday, but I couldn't leave. I had to go to my mother-in-law's house to pay New Year greetings first. I was really anxious, so I just wanted to come back as soon as possible."
Xiaojie grabbed a handful of melon seeds and squeezed them into the fire barrel. While eating the melon seeds, she teased the two brothers, Tuan Yuan Yuan, and at the same time, she complained quietly to the eldest Sun and the others.
Mrs. Sun glared at Xiaojie, "I usually refuse to let you come back and stay for a few days, but why are you talking about this in the first month of the year? I don't believe it!"
Mrs. Sun also smiled and said to Xiaojie: "You can't say that kind of thing. It's only natural to go to your mother-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you will accompany your mother-in-law to your mother's house to pay New Year's greetings, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, you will go back to your mother's house to pay New Year's greetings. You must follow this Follow the rules."
