From the corner of her eye, Yang Ruoqing caught sight of Tan's hesitant expression.
Old lady, what's going on? When he reprimanded the fourth aunt before, he was so upright and majestic.
Why did you turn a corner and do this again? Is there something you want to say but it’s hard to say it? This doesn't quite fit the old lady's character.
Yang Ruoqing also deliberately didn't ask and just waited. Anyway, it was the old lady who was anxious, not herself.
Finally, when she had sorted out the mutton in her hands, Mr. Tan, who was sitting at the main seat, couldn't help it anymore.
"Qing'er, let me ask, we are all sitting here eating, what do you want to do with so much mutton wrapped in oil paper?"
Yang Ruoqing wrapped the mutton alone. Tan didn't know, but others knew.
Because Yang Ruoqing had mentioned it to them before when they were cooking.
Moreover, Mrs. Liu and Yang Huazhong were happy about this, because Yang Ruoqing was going to send these muttons to other rooms in the old Yang family.
After all, today’s roast whole lamb family banquet is not a large-scale invitation to the house.
For those relatives and friends who have not been invited, Yang Ruoqing plans to send them some mutton to try.
So the freshly baked mutton was quickly packaged and delivered while the heat was still there. If it was cold, it would not be so delicious, and if it was processed and heated, the taste would not be that good.
"Nai, guess what I'm trying to do." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
Tan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Yang Ruoqing would tease her with words.
The old lady curled her lips and said with a downcast face: "I'm not the roundworm in your stomach, so I don't know what you want to fix!"
"Haha, milk, there are no roundworms in my stomach, and I don't eat raw or cold food." Yang Ruoqing corrected.
Tan rolled his eyes again.
Are we talking about roundworms now? They were discussing what the mutton was going to be used for.
"Nai, if you have anything to ask, just ask directly. The hesitation doesn't look like your old style, and you hold back your words while eating. This can lead to indigestion and abdominal pain." Yang Ruoqing warned Ms. Tan with a serious look.
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
Only Old Yangtou lowered his eyelids and held the wine cup in his hand, as if he was considering it.
The old wife's thoughts...Hey!
And here, Yang Ruoqing had actually guessed what Tan was thinking and worried about.
She didn't want to tease the old lady anymore, and was about to speak, but she didn't expect that Yang Huazhong had already spoken in front of her.
"Mom, Qing'er is preparing these muttons to give to my sister-in-law, Liu'er, and Bamei, so that those in the family who haven't come here can also have a taste."
"Ah? That's good, that's good!" Old Yang also got ahead of Tan and responded on Tan's behalf.
Tan's face did not show a look of satisfaction because of these words, and even showed an anxious look on her face.
"What about that? Do you have your sister's share?" she asked.
Yang Huazhong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yang Ruoqing.
The specific operation of these things is done by the daughter. It is hard to say whether Yang Huamei has a share in it.
Because these people in the family are all members of the old Yang family, and the five houses of the old Yang family.
As for Mei'er, it was sent to her relatives, to Lao Wang's house, and she had to cross more than half of Changping Village to get to Lao Wang's house.
Yang Ruoqing tied the parchment in her hand and sealed it, smiled and said to Mrs. Tan, "Grandma, please be more at ease. I can't leave my aunt's family behind no matter what."
"Look, the first mutton wrapped in the parchment bag is for my aunt's family. I will send it to them later!"
"Ah? Have you made all the arrangements? That's okay, that's okay, your aunt's love for you is not in vain!"
Tan's face suddenly showed a look of joy, he nodded while praising, then picked up the kuaizi and ate the food.
Yang Ruoqing raised the corners of her lips, "Why don't I waste my aunt's love for me?"
In his own memory, this aunt who forced her to be three years older would have been nice if she didn't bully her niece when she was at Lao Yang's house. How dare she expect her to feel hurt?
As for her aunt later getting married and having a baby, my God, Yang Ruoqing had already come out to make money at that time and was able to stand alone, but her aunt thought she was just a rice worm.
Do you expect your aunt to feel pain? Don't dare to hope!
Later, my aunt gave birth to two children, and she also gave birth to a baby. Although they were separated by generations, they were only a few years apart. Please don't expect the kind of love that the elders have for the younger ones.
There was another voice that spoke out her heart for Yang Ruoqing.
The owner of that voice was Mrs. Liu. I heard Mrs. Liu say: "Oh, let me go. Old lady, don't your conscience hurt when you say this? Mei'er is just everyone's aunt in terms of seniority, but at that age, she is older than Yongxianyong. Jin is even younger, and she is three years older than Qing'er."
"I have been married into your old Yang family for so many years, and I have always lived with Mei'er in the backyard, with the east and west rooms facing each other. Not to mention doting on my nieces and nephews, thank God if she doesn't take the lead in bullying them!"
Before Liu finished speaking, Tan's face turned black little by little, like the sky before a storm gradually gathering dark clouds.
Even though there is no wind at all, it makes people feel suffocated and panicked inexplicably.
Everyone else at the table also stopped wanting to eat. Even the two youngest guys, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Shun'er in astonishment at the faces of the adults in the room.
After looking around, Yuanyuan couldn't understand anything, so she lowered her head and continued to eat the mutton chops.
Brother Tuan Tuan didn't quite understand what was going on with the adults, but he was more sensitive than Yuanyuan. He put the mutton chop in his hand to Yang Ruoqing's mouth and whispered: "Mom, eat!"
Yang Ruoqing had just packed up the brown paper bag, and was about to sit down and take a few bites before sending it away. She looked down and saw the mutton chops being brought to her mouth, and the child's somewhat worried eyes.
Yang Ruoqing's heart softened, knowing that this was the coercive momentum Tan was releasing continuously, and the youngest child could feel it.
That's why the child is so restless.
When Yang Ruoqing saw Tuantuan's worried look, she suddenly remembered the look in her eldest brother Daan's eyes when she had just traveled through time...
The younger brother Xiao An is similar to Yuanyuan because he is younger, more cute and has a longer reflex arc.
But Daan has started to become sensible, so the whole family often eats together, and when Tan loses his temper, Daan looks like this.
"Snapped!"
With the sound of tachyon being slapped, Yang Ruoqing clearly felt her whole body shake, and she almost cried out of fright.
Yuanyuan was also startled, and the mutton chops in her hands fell to the table without even squeezing them tightly.
Wang Cuilian sat next to Yuanyuan, quickly put Yuanyuan on her lap and sat down, picked up the mutton chop and stuffed it into the child's hand again.
She couldn't say anything to Tan, but she really felt sorry for her grandson, so she could only lower her head and comfort Yuanyuan in a low voice.
However, after Mrs. Tan over there finished taking the photo, she ignored the gentle dissuasion of Old Yang beside her, stood up suddenly, pointed at Mrs. Liu's nose and cursed: "You damn evil-minded thing. People with foreign surnames have foreign hearts. Did Meier provoke you? After decades, she still can’t tolerate her!"
"Why don't you look at how many girls our old Yang family has? They have six brothers and sisters, and they only have a girl like Mei'er. You can't tolerate this. Is there any sister-in-law like you in the world?"
Not to be outdone, Ms. Liu was ready to stand up.
Suddenly, she realized something and turned her head to look at Yuanyuan and Tuantuan, who were protected in the arms of Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing respectively.
Ms. Liu gritted her teeth, pressed down the flames on her body, and sat back down again.
"I don't want to scare you, but I don't want to argue with you right now!" Ms. Liu said.
Wang Cuilan and Sun both looked at Liu gratefully. When they were arguing, one of them turned around first.
Lao Yangtou and Lao Suntou were also trying to smooth things over, but they all told Mrs. Tan: "Forget it, forget it, such a good roasted whole lamb must be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold. "
"Sister-in-law, the fourth daughter-in-law loves to make jokes. You don't know it. She doesn't have any ill intentions. Sister-in-law, don't argue with the younger generation. This scares the children!"
The old grandson glanced at his two great-grandsons, with a flash of distress in his eyes.
However, Mrs. Tan still stood there, her eyes like a pair of sharp blades, staring at Mrs. Liu viciously and coldly.
"I can't even close her mouth with food! My Mei'er is such a good girl, why should she let her run away?"
"It's so evil to talk about my Mei'er like this in front of so many people and smear her reputation!"
Mrs. Liu had already given in, lowering her head and eating the belly buns silently.
Hearing Tan's scolding, she raised her head and wanted to say a few words. Feeling the looks from around her, she gritted her teeth and buried her head again without saying a word.
Hey, I blame myself for talking too much and insisting on talking to each other. This time I kicked the iron rake and couldn't pull it out.
Ms. Liu continued to immerse herself in eating, hoping that Ms. Tan would curse a few more words and then the matter would be over.
Others were also trying to persuade and endure it. Even Yang Ruoqing, who was about to explode, shrank when she saw Mrs. Liu, so as the host, she temporarily suppressed her anger.
However, Mrs. Tan stood there like a piece of burning charcoal, her face was red, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of flames, which could burst at any time.
Moreover, she slammed the table hard and pointed at Mrs. Liu and reprimanded her loudly: "You heartless thing, it's a good thing that I freed up Mei'er's room to be used as a wedding room for you, Mr. Ieyasu."
"You're not grateful to me or Mei'er, but you're still here gossiping and smearing Mei'er. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"I'm really getting into trouble. I won't give that house to Mr. Kang. I'll take it back and lock it up. Even if I tie up the dog in the house, it's better than leaving it to you white-eyed wolves!"
Mrs. Liu's hand that was holding Kuaizi was shaking. She couldn't help but raise her head and gritted her teeth and replied: "Take it back, who cares about it? I don't care about it!"
"Okay, okay, this is what you said..." Ms. Tan jumped around and clapped her hands.
Damn, Yuanyuan was so frightened that she cried...
And Tuantuan also knows how to go straight into Yang Ruoqing's arms...
