"You are the cat!" Mrs. Liu said.
"Ah, no, you are not a cat, you are a dog, you are a pig. You are not as good as a pig or a dog. You obviously have the skills yourself, but you have to come here and ask others to burn them. I won't burn them today. I want to see if I don't burn them." , everyone will be hungry at night!"
Anyway, she wasn't hungry. She had eaten so much at Luo's house at noon that it didn't matter if she was hungry at night.
Besides, she still has a lollipop in her purse. When she's really hungry, she can take it out and eat it, which will keep her going for a while.
Yang Huaming never expected that Mr. Liu would take the initiative, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
You know, after Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Tan had an argument at the pond at the entrance of the village at noon, he also ran to chase Mrs. Liu.
After going back to the fourth house, I had to persuade Mrs. Liu to suppress the dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Moreover, after the incident, he did not dare to blame Mrs. Liu for not taking care of the east room for Mrs. Tan.
Because as soon as he opens his mouth, Ms. Liu will directly reply to him:
"Did your mother wash any clothes for me when I was in confinement?"
"I gave birth to four children. Has your mother ever washed a diaper for the children?"
"She hasn't done anything. She even scolded me at the door like a hen that only eats food but doesn't lay eggs. I didn't get a good night's sleep during confinement. I just sat on the bed and wiped my tears..."
"Now I cook food for her, give her something to drink, sweep the floor for her, and pour a bucket of urine for her. Oh, these are not included. I also have to take her bedding out to bask in the sun from time to time? Ventilate her room. To relax?"
"Ha, no way!"
"Why? Has she done anything for me before? None!"
"Besides, I don't even bother to ventilate my own room. My own quilt hasn't been dried in the sun for more than a month, so why should I dry it for her? I'm thinking too much!"
So today, when Yang Huaming tried to communicate with Liu about this matter, Liu just said these words and blocked Yang Huaming's mouth at that time.
Because Liu may exaggerate in other aspects, but in these matters, he is telling the truth, and not a single word is false.
So the final result was that Yang Huaming made Liu a bowl of brown sugar water with two jujubes in it, and asked her to sit at the door of the house and drink it while basking in the sun.
As for himself, he entered the east room and tidied it up silently.
I took my mother Tan's bedding to the yard to dry, opened the doors and windows for ventilation, took a handkerchief and wet it in water, and then carefully wiped the table, chair, bedside table, dressing table, and bed edge.
By the time he finished all this, his old waist was almost broken from fatigue.
When I came to the yard and looked around, I found that the empty bench was still there. There were a circle of melon seed shells next to the bench, but Mrs. Liu herself had long since disappeared.
Yang Huaming rested for a while, and even went to bed to take a nap for an hour. When he woke up, he found that the sun had set, and Mrs. Liu still hadn't come back, and Mrs. Tan hadn't come back either.
Yang Huaming hurriedly went to the yard to carry the quilt and other things back to the east room, closed the doors and windows, and went out through the backyard door of Lao Yang's house to pick up Tiedan and Hong'er from the willow forest.
After receiving the two children, Yang Huaming sent them back first, while he went to the village to find Mrs. Liu.
Yang Huaming went straight to the Luo family after searching the houses of the women she often visited to gossip, but to no avail.
Sure enough, it was at the Luo family.
Then, there was the current scene, where Mrs. Liu was quarreling with him, vehemently, like a cat that had stepped on its tail and jumped up to scratch him.
"What if I just quarrel with you? What if I just get on top of you?"
Liu's face was filled with grievances, and she pointed at Yang Huaming and complained to Yang Ruoqing:
"I belong to your fourth uncle, and Tiedan also belongs to your fourth uncle. They have nothing to do with me. Why should I go back to cook when Tiedan comes back? I don't believe in that evil now, and I will do it to myself Better, why do I have to be a cow and a horse for them?"
Yang Ruoqing looked at Mrs. Liu, then at Yang Huaming, and smiled dryly: "Fourth Aunt, my fourth uncle is worried because it's dark and can't find you. He's too embarrassed to tell the truth, so he can only find an excuse."
"Tell me, you're usually such a smart person, why can't you tell me this now?"
"Uncle Fourth, right?"
Yang Ruoqing blinked at Yang Huaming.
But Yang Huaming remained unmoved.
Yes, this time, the boyish stubbornness in Yang Huaming's bones also showed up, and he just didn't want to give in.
Because he has been cowarded all day long, doing this and doing that, juggling all kinds of things.
"Uncle Fourth!"
Yang Ruoqing urged Yang Huaming again and continued to blink.
To be honest, my eyes are sore from blinking...
"Qing'er, please don't let him get off the stairs. He's clearly not willing to get down." Mrs. Liu saw Yang Ruoqing's good intentions. She patted Yang Ruoqing's arm and said, "You go about your business. I'll get back to you." I’ve gone to bed, anyway, whoever wants to eat tonight’s dinner will cook it, I won’t eat it, and I won’t cook it either, that’s all!”
Mrs. Liu clapped her hands, turned around and left.
Before leaving, he specifically looked for Tuantuan and leaned down to tease her a few words.
When she finally stood up to leave, Mrs. Liu probably turned her head, glanced at the dark-faced Yang Huaming from the corner of her eye, and deliberately sighed: "Hey, there are some people who have lived their whole lives and are still not worthy of a person." Children know how cold it is and how hot it is, but it’s better for my family to be together and warm..."
After Mrs. Liu left, Yang Huaming pointed in the direction she left and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, did you understand what she was mumbling? Why does my head feel swollen when I hear it?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "My fourth aunt was cared about by everyone in my family before, so now I am comparing you to you, and you are inferior to me."
"Ah? I was outclassed by Tuantuan? What did Tuantuan do to her?" Yang Huaming's head was full of confusion.
Yang Ruoqing said, "Oh, lollipops. Yuanyuan brought a lollipop to the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt was very moved."
Yang Huaming bared his teeth, "I've left it to her for most of my life, and she's not satisfied yet, what else does she want to do!"
Are you outshining me with just one lollipop?
If all the sacrifices I have made for her in my life were converted into lollipops, they would probably fill a room!
"Fourth Uncle, actually, it's not about the lollipop. It's mainly the way you talk that makes my Fourth Aunt unhappy."
Yang Ruoqing went on to say, "Women, once they are not happy, their memory will be very good. They like to talk about old things, so don't take it seriously. Let the fourth aunt speak, and it won't matter after you finish talking." It’s over."
Yang Huaming was silent for a long time.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "This woman is really difficult to deal with! Especially your fourth aunt, the older she gets, the more pretentious she becomes. Girls in their mid-20s don't have as many things to do as she does!"
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Fourth uncle, please stop saying a few words. The same goes for you. Why do you have to say it so clearly?"
"If you change your words and say that you come here and call my fourth aunt back for dinner, my fourth aunt will feel more comfortable."
"You tell her to go back to eat. When she goes back, she will naturally go to cook. You don't need to remind her at all." "Look at these years, you have been working in the Taoist temple, and Tiedan was playing at home every day when he was not studying. Did my fourth aunt starve him during that meal?"
Yang Huaming raised his eyes and looked directly at Yang Ruoqing, but he was thinking in his eyes.
Yang Ruoqing also imitated his behavior, sighed, and said seriously: "We are uncle and nephew, and there is no one else, so I'll just tell you the truth."
"Brother Tiedan didn't come from my fourth aunt's belly. Even though my fourth aunt was kind and reluctant to let the child Tiedan starve, but you yelled at her and urged her to go back and cook for Tiedan. When she was in a good mood, It’s nothing, she was touched by something, then you’re on the receiving end of a gun.”
I don’t know if my fourth uncle can enlighten me after talking so much to him.
Anyway, when he left, he seemed to have had a bit of an epiphany.
Every family has a difficult scripture to recite. The affairs of the fourth house are so complicated, let them solve it by themselves!
Yang Huaming had just left, and Lao Yangtou came over.
"Qing'er
, have you cooked dinner? "The old man asked as he entered the door.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's burning, what's wrong?"
Old Yangtou said: "Well, let's make half a bowl of rice at night, and send food for two people to my house later. Your mother will sleep here tonight."
"ah?"
Yang Ruoqing was slightly shocked by the old man's notice, and couldn't help but raise her head and look at the old man again.
"Master, your progress is so fast!"
Can he openly tell everyone so soon that he and Mr. Tan are going to sleep together again?
Yang Ruoqing originally thought that the old man would be embarrassed when she looked at him like this. Unexpectedly, Old Yang stood there calmly and let Yang Ruoqing look at him.
She even explained her arrangement to Yang Ruoqing in an upright manner: "Your grandma had dinner at your aunt's house at noon. She was not full, so I left her to eat some more at night. It was a long night and it was not good for her to be hungry. It also adds a burden to you.”
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, you do need to eat and drink enough to sleep."
By the way, old men and old ladies didn’t have the habit of having dinner at night before, especially Mrs. Tan.
It seems that this old lady really didn’t have enough to eat at Lao Wang’s house.
Thinking about it, she must have been reluctant to eat it and wanted to leave it to Aunt Meier, so she ate and came back hungry.
As for why the old man eats it, the reason is simple: to accompany the old lady!
"Also, why should I leave your grandma to sleep here? It's not because you and I are naughty."
"puff……"
As soon as Lao Yangtou said these words, Yang Ruoqing almost couldn't help laughing.
"Master, I didn't say anything dumb. Please don't talk about yourself like that." Yang Ruoqing quickly waved her hand.
This time, a hint of embarrassment finally appeared on Lao Yangtou's dark face. Perhaps he was a little uncomfortable with his frankness. After all, saying the words "old and crooked" was a bit embarrassing in itself.
And Yang Ruoqing's reaction made the old man even more embarrassed.
"The main reason is that no one can live in your grandma's east room. She has been away for more than ten days, and your fourth aunt hasn't taken care of anything. The bedding and everything are all damp."
"Your mother is getting old. If you let her live in a house like that and cover her with a quilt like that, rheumatism and arthritis will develop by then. It will also be a burden on your children, don't you think?"
