Wanghai County, Changping Village.
In the Luo family's kitchen, Mrs. Liu heard Yang Ruoqing say that they would not be roasting mutton, but they would give her some tripe meat to go home and cook at night.
Mrs. Liu was very happy. She patted her belly, which was as stretched as a ball, and said with a smile, "Look, my belly is full of roast mutton. I didn't eat less at noon."
"You don't need to give me any more at night. Besides, there is also belly meat. If your fourth uncle and Tiedan eat it, you are flattering them!"
Yang Ruoqing couldn't answer what she said.
Mrs. Liu came forward and happily took the bowl handed over by Yang Ruoqing. The bowl contained four pieces of belly meat as big as a child's fist.
Mrs. Liu was thinking, there are three people in the fourth house, and there are four belly buns, so who is going to eat two?
[Given that the general environment is such, um, such a difficult task, I’m afraid it will have to be left to me to complete...
Before leaving, Ms. Liu couldn't help but glance hard at the cupboard containing the roasted leg of lamb, and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, I want to ask, how much does that lamb cost?" One?"
"Fourth Aunt, it depends on what kind of sheep it is. Different breeds, different months, different genders, different tastes, and the corresponding prices will definitely be different."
"Then Qing'er, tell me, how much does it cost to buy a sheep like the one we eat at your house today?"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, "I'll definitely need one thousand five hundred yuan. This is a raw sheep. If I buy it cooked, it will probably cost nearly two thousand yuan!"
Mrs. Liu was speechless, "Why don't you just go for two taels of silver?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled warmly, "This sheep is of good quality, otherwise the cook wouldn't have sent it to me."
Mrs. Liu understood. To put it bluntly, this sheep was specially selected and sent by Qing'er's subordinates to respect her, please her, and flatter her.
Mrs. Liu asked again: "What about the inferior ones? How much does it cost to get one?"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, "It costs about seven or eight hundred cents. If you buy a lot, you can get one for five hundred cents. However, the taste of that kind of mutton may not be as good as this one, but it's not bad either. , after all, it is mutton, so it is considered a rare thing."
Mrs. Liu immediately counted on her fingers and clicked her tongue again.
"If you get six of them, you'll have to pay three taels of silver, and you'll be able to get half a daughter-in-law!"
"This is too expensive! I can't afford it!"
"What about that, Qing'er, if I want six sheep, do you have any way to help me get them and let the sheep seller give me a discount?"
Mrs. Liu was not only talking to herself and calculating, but she finally stretched her head in front of Yang Ruoqing and stared at Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing also became interested and asked her with a smile: "Fourth Aunt, what do you mean by this? Could it be that at the banquet for Mr. Kang's wedding, you want to add roasted whole lamb?"
Mrs. Liu didn't hide anything and nodded directly: "I have this plan. I am just a son like Kang Xiaozi. I am still a cripple. I finally got a wife who is also deaf and mute."
"Others look down on my two children and laugh behind their backs. The more this happens, the more I have to fight for it and praise them. I just want to make this banquet grand and decent so that the people in the village can see what they have done." The marriage of other people's able-bodied sons is not as decent as my disabled son!"...
Mrs. Liu became more and more excited as she spoke, her face turned red, and her eyes were shining with water.
This also made Mr. Sun on the side empathize instantly, and his eyes turned red.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the two people. She was not surprised by Sun's empathy.
Mrs. Sun has a sweet heart, not to mention she feels pity for Kang Xiaozi, even if she hears the pitiful things of people she doesn't know in villages ten miles away, she can't help but shed a few tears.
What surprised Yang Ruoqing was Mrs. Liu.
Unexpectedly, Ms. Liu was such a careless and careless person on the outside. She seemed to be eating and drinking without caring about her body every day. However, her heart was bright and she had many thoughts of her own.
"Fourth Aunt, because of your love, this matter will be taken care of by me.
Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Liu was so happy that she wanted to clap her hands, but found that she was holding a bowl in her hand and it was inconvenient to clap her hands, so she nodded vigorously instead.
"Okay, okay, what about that, Qing'er, I'll need you to help with the roasting then. Fourth Aunt, I can see that you are really good at roasting whole lamb!"
Yang Ruoqing was happy: "Fourth Aunt, are you treating me like a cook? That will cost you money!"
Mrs. Liu: "The wages are easy to talk about, easy to talk about!"
"By the way, Qing'er, a good man will do his best to send Buddha to the West. While you're getting sheep, can you also help me get some old turtles back?"
Yang Ruoqing was funny and angry: "Fourth aunt, fourth aunt, you are bullying me to talk easily, but you are asking me to do whatever you want?"
Mrs. Sun was also covering her mouth and laughing.
His eyes were red before, but now he was amused again. Baozi's mood is always so passive, and he is most easily affected by the surrounding environment.
"Oh, Qing'er, those who can do the hard work, you are the Fourth Aunt Bangbang, and the Bangbang Kang boy!" Mrs. Liu started to rub shoulders with Yang Ruoqing again.
"Okay, okay, I'll just promise you. Please, fourth aunt, please don't talk to me like that. I'm getting goosebumps!"
A middle-aged and elderly woman, speaking in a hoarse voice, is like an old cucumber painted green, which makes people unable to resist.
After things were agreed upon, Mrs. Liu took a bowl of tripe meat, hummed a little tune, and left the Luo family with satisfaction.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun also breathed a sigh of relief, "Kang's marriage is a big event for our old Yang family. If we can help, we can do more. It's not easy for this child to get married. "
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Don't worry, mother. As long as I can help, my cousin will do my best."
In the old house of Lao Yang's family, in the east room, the doors and windows are closed.
It took Lao Yangtou a while, and his mouth was dry, before he finally coaxed Mr. Tan into silence.
At this moment, Mrs. Tan was sitting by the bed, still holding a handkerchief in her hand and burying her head to wipe the corners of her eyes, still dripping and gurgling in her mouth.
The general meaning is: "You fat girl is too big or too young, she is too bullying."
"The third child doesn't care about her and allows her to behave wildly. A daughter is so used to it..."
"Pity my Mei'er, my upright aunt, so unpopular in the eyes of my niece!"
"There is mutton in every room. Otherwise, I was invited to eat mutton, but my Mei'er is not available. Could it be that my Mei'er was picked up? It's so bullying!"...
Regarding Tan's complaint, Old Yangtou has listened to it no less than twenty times this afternoon. He didn't miss a word every time, and the old man could recite it by heart.
"Hey, you can't say that. This matter happened for a reason, so I don't need to say anything more."
"Let's just rewrite this matter, huh?"
What should be said and what should not be said, the old man has already said it before.
Mrs. Tan sniffed her nose several times, and finally said in a hoarse voice, "I have changed my mind. I will not vacate Mei'er's room next door, even if I don't give it four bedrooms. Let's see what they do!"
Old Yangtou had already put the tobacco stick into his mouth again, but when he heard Tan's words, he could only frown and pull it out again.
"I'm telling you, old lady, let's just be angry and let's not delay the business."
"You delayed the business, and you became unreasonable!"
Mrs. Tan raised her head and said angrily: "I just don't accept that tone. The whole family, old and young, are all harmonious. If there is anything delicious to eat, you think of me and I think of you. Only mine Mei'er is left alone, I can't swallow that breath, the more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for Mei'er!"
Regarding the words about feeling sorry for Mei'er, Tan said it no less than seven or eight times in the past half an hour. Old Yang's ears almost sounded pregnant.
The old man couldn't help but shake his head, "If you really say that, then I will use Torch's fair words."
"This person always exchanges heart for heart. Even among relatives, you come and go."
"Just keep an eye on each room of our old Yang family, eat some rare things and give them to each other, and leave Mei'er aside."
"Then have you ever thought about how Mei'er behaves?" Old Yang asked.
"What?" Mrs. Tan raised a scarlet eye and looked at Old Yang with resentment and confusion, "Old man, just explain it to me, don't play riddles with me! I don't like to hear it!"
Old Yangtou laughed bitterly again and continued: "Last time, Lao Turtle, did Meier ever think of sharing half a piece of meat with her family? Even our parents didn't get half a mouthful of Lao Turtle Soup from her. ah!"
When Tan heard this, he was immediately choked.
After a moment, the old lady said stubbornly: "As parents, will we still care about the mouthful of crappy soup with our old daughter?"
Old Yangtou smiled again: "Whether we care or not is one thing, but whether she will give or not is another."
Tan fell silent again.
Seeing her look like this, Lao Yangtou knew that she understood everything in her heart, but she couldn't help but want to favor Mei'er.
It's been like this for so many years, mindless favoritism and maintenance.
In the past, the old man himself was like this, but now, he doesn't want to be like this anymore.
They are all your own children, so try not to be partial.
The old couple fell silent.
After a while, Mrs. Tan let out a long sigh, twisted her neck in annoyance, and asked Old Yang angrily: "Then tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"
Old Yangtou said: "What else can be done? That's it for now!"
"What? Just forget it?"
Mrs. Tan straightened up: "What? What else do you want?"
Tan curled his lips and sat back.
"That's all, I'm too lazy to talk to my fourth daughter-in-law and the fat girl. I just treat it like... I've been bitten by a dog a few times. I can't bite it back! Then I bite a mouthful of dog hair! "
A look of relief appeared on Lao Yangtou's face, and he nodded gently: "That's right. As the elders, we are the ones at the helm of the family. The situation must be big! It's right for someone like you!"
Mrs. Tan was also very satisfied with the "downhill" that Old Yangtou brought. She glared at Old Yangtou a few times and looked around: "Is there anything to eat? I leave after a few bites at noon. Now I’m hungry!”.
