After Yang Huazhong sent Old Yangtou back to the guest room, he was left behind by Old Yangtou. The father and son did not know what they discussed. Anyway, after Yang Huazhong came out of the house, he went straight to Yang Yongjin's house.
Then, the uncle and nephew went into the village together and went to the old house to find Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yongqing.
"You are so nagging, I don't know what you are discussing. Even though the dinner is cooked, you haven't come back yet."
Mrs. Sun was cooking the night meal and kept looking at the door of the kitchen. On a hot summer evening, the kitchen was as hot as a steamer. After cooking the meal, she was sweating profusely. There were a lot of mosquito bites on her legs and face. Bag.
Yang Ruoqing had just come from Luo's house. She had packed up the tea bowls and left to give the two children a bath.
In summer evenings, the children were bathed early and put on the big bed with a tent, and they were allowed to play on the mat, which was left on the ground for mosquitoes to eat.
The children had enough fun and fell asleep again. Yang Ruoqing took the time to come to her parents' house to help Sun.
"Mom, don't worry, my dad will probably be back soon."
She comforted Mrs. Sun with her mouth, and in her hand she found a few moxa sticks made from aged mugwort, stuffed them into the stove and lit them, and then inserted them in the main room and Mrs. Sun's room to smoke out mosquitoes.
The moxa sticks in several rooms have just been lit here, and over there, Yu Xingkui came to the kitchen with the old man's rice bowl.
"What's wrong, Uncle Xingkui? Why don't you come to the main room to eat at night?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Old Yangtou is very personable. Sometimes he comes to the main room by himself, and sometimes he sends Yu Xingkui to bring food back to the house if he doesn't want to come. Just like a lazy student who goes to the cafeteria and always asks his roommate to help bring food.
This is not the first time that Lao Yangtou has done this, and Mrs. Sun has long been used to it.
He took the big rice bowl brought by Yu Xingkui, first filled it with a bowl full of white rice, and then put various vegetables with two chopsticks and pressed them on the head of the rice, filling them tightly and firmly.
"Mom, my father is taking medicine. Didn't you give him spicy food?" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but ask when she saw Sun standing by the pot and pressing the food hard, which was a little rude.
Mrs. Sun was stunned and hurriedly looked at the dishes on the pot table. She was so frightened that she was stunned.
"I also included the fried pork with chili pepper, what should I do?"
Yang Ruoqing came over and said, "This is my father's favorite twice-cooked pork, but it contains chili, so my father can't eat it now."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Repackage the food. This bowl is just for you, Uncle Xingkui."
Yu Xingkui said with a smile: "Then I got a big deal!"
Mrs. Sun came back to her senses and said, "What are you talking about? There are a lot of dishes here, all leftover from noon."
Yu Xingkui took the food back to the house to take care of old Yangtou for dinner, and here, Yang Huazhong also returned home from the backyard.
"It's such a hot day. There's no wind at all outside. The sun has set and it's still so hot! What a hell!"
Yang Huazhong went straight to the well in the backyard, fetched a bucket of well water, buried his face in it and washed his face. After washing his face, he poured the remaining water on his feet and legs.
The trousers have already been rolled up to the knees, and the bare feet are wearing straw sandals. This is the outfit of a farmer in the summer.
A bucket of well water splashed down, what a joy it was!
"My ancestors, no matter how hot it is, can't be so greedy for coolness. Be careful of gout when you get older!"
Mrs. Sun was so nervous that she quickly sent over a dry handkerchief for Yang Huazhong to wipe.
Yang Huazhong took the handkerchief and wiped his face and neck, saying, "Comfortable!"
Mrs. Sun bent over and straightened the small bucket next to the well head, then arranged the well ropes scattered on the ground in circles and put them on the well cover, still mumbling.
The general idea is: no matter how hot it is, don’t be too greedy for coolness. The cool autumn breeze will make you prone to illness. As you get older, you will easily get gout, and you may also suffer from soreness in your waist and legs, etc...
Yang Ruoqing stuck her head out from the window behind the kitchen and called Yang Huazhong and Sun: "Dad, Mom, come over for dinner after you've finished washing!"
Yang Huazhong responded, greeted Mr. Sun, and the couple returned to the kitchen together.
I didn't bother to carry dinner to the front yard, so the dishes were placed on the pot table.
Mrs. Sun looked at the two packed bowls of rice, was surprised, and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Why only two bowls of rice? Don't you want to eat with us?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "I couldn't eat at night, I was a little tired. My aunt made egg rolls for my uncle to eat before, but I also said I didn't want to eat them."
Mrs. Sun said: "It's a long night and you don't eat anything. You don't have any strength at night."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "I don't work at night. It doesn't matter if I have the strength. Besides, there are a lot of snacks in my room. If you are hungry, you can grab whatever you want to fill your stomach."
Sun wanted to persuade her again, but Yang Huazhong said, "Just follow Qing'er. It's such a hot day that I have no appetite. I just want to drink some rice soup or something."
Indeed, Yang Huazhong poured the rice in the bowl back into the rice pot, scooped out a piece of crispy rice that was burnt brown on the bottom of the pot, and then scooped a ladle of rice soup from the nearby pot to soak the crispy rice.
The few oily and meaty dishes left over from noon on the pot table were definitely not edible. Yang Huazhong poked two pickled vegetables with his chopsticks, put them in a bowl, stirred them with rice soup and crispy rice, and drank.
In summer, my body is like a piece of dry scorched earth, and I just want to eat something with water. Hard food and hard food, don't deal with it.
"Qing'er, then you have a bowl of rice soup." Sun said again.
Yang Ruoqing smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll take a few sips."
She also scooped up half a bowl of rice soup for herself, and held it in her hand. As a result, Mrs. Sun said, "If you have two more chopsticks to eat, just put it on the table."
Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this old lady is like this, taking every step to make progress!
"Okay, I'll eat the food."
Seeing Yang Ruoqing eating and drinking with a bowl in her hand, Sun felt relieved and was finally willing to pick up her rice bowl.
"Qing'er's father, what were you doing earlier?" Mrs. Sun asked Yang Huazhong again.
Yang Huazhong buried his head and pulled. When he heard Sun's question, he said without raising his head: "My father called me over and said that although the marriage will continue with the Li family, our old Yang family will still have to pay for it before the marriage." Li Wei, that guy, put some pressure on me."
"No matter how bad the embroidery is, she is still the daughter of our old Yang family, and we cannot tolerate him being disrespectful, so after dinner later, the fourth child, I, Yongjin Yongzhi, Yongqing and others will go to Lijiacun again overnight. Talking straight to the point with the Li family’s mother and son should be regarded as a warning to Li Wei!”
Sun and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other, and both mother and daughter understood.
Although the old man had scolded Xiuxiu so much, he was still worried, so he asked Yang Huazhong and the others to go over and pretend to be Xiuxiu's mother-in-law, posing as a supportive gesture to intimidate the man.
…
Yang Huazhong quickly finished his dinner, wiped his lips and went out again.
Yang Ruoqing accompanied Sun to clear the dishes. Both mother and daughter were sweating profusely.
"Mom, you go take a shower. It's time for me to go back. It's too hot and I can't bear it."
"Okay, okay, you should go back quickly and take care of the children, so that your uncle and aunt can go back to the house to rest."
