Old Yang raised his head and pointed at Cao Bamei and Xiuxiu, mother and daughter, who were sitting on the bench over there.
The old man continued: "The same goes for Bamei and Xiuxiu. They all came to visit me and asked me what I wanted to eat."
"Haha, I'm in such a state that I can't even eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. I'd better eat some porridge to ease my digestion."
After being named and praised, Cao Bamei also smiled softly and said: "...I don't know if it's a psychological effect. I always feel that I have lost weight and my complexion is not good."
Xiu Xiu also nodded, agreeing with her mother's words.
Lao Yangtou smiled and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheekbones, which were already thin and had no flesh. "It's not that fast. It must be your psychology."
Tan asked, "Is it a psychological effect? I just lost weight, and the last bit of flesh on my face was lost!"
Old Yangtou couldn't help but touch his face again and said, "I am an old man, why do I need so much meat on my face?"
Tan then glared at Old Yang.
The atmosphere in the house was warm and friendly.
Yang Ruoqing watched silently and found that the two couples had really found a way to get along with each other more happily and harmoniously as they grew older than before.
If it were in the past, when Old Yangtou was sick, Mr. Tan probably wouldn't even look at it, and would even deliberately say something disgusting.
And Lao Yangtou was not much better.
Especially in the intervening ten years, Lao Yangtou did not care about major or minor illnesses in his house at the entrance of the village, and Mrs. Tan pretended not to see or hear them.
Even if Yang Huazhong and his brothers went to visit and take care of old Yangtou at the entrance of the village, Tan would be unhappy if they found out.
In the same way, Mr. Tan in the old house in the village was sick and paralyzed in bed, and one eye was blind. Old Yangtou did not show his concern, and even despised Mr. Tan for being paralyzed and incontinent.
Hey, other people's seven-year itch is placed at the beginning of marriage, but these two elders' seven-year itch is placed in the middle and later stages of marriage.
Fortunately, both of them have finally successfully overcome the disaster. Now that they are reunited in their old age, the old couple actually helps and cares for each other.
Take this incident of Lao Yangtou's illness as an example. Although the cause of this incident was that Lao Yangtou ate too many dumplings.
But in fact, this matter concealed a truth, and the truth was that Mr. Tan cared about Lao Yangtou.
It was Mrs. Tan who left the dumplings for Lao Yangtou. Mrs. Tan didn't want to eat alone, so Mrs. Tan left half of the dumplings given to her by Yang Ruoqing for Lao Yangtou.
As for Old Yangtou, in order not to let Tan down and let Tan's kindness be betrayed, the old man still stuffed dumplings into his mouth even though he had already had dinner.
If you are younger and the digestive function of your body's internal organs is faster, it won't hurt.
It's a pity that as people get older, even if they want to show affection, their bodies don't allow it, so just say you are angry or not!
But Yang Ruoqing still silently watched the interaction between the two elders, which was very interesting, as if they were eating an elderly version of dog food.
However, someone was a little unhappy about this and kicked over the bowl and knocked the dog food to the ground.
That's right, that person is none other than Yang Huaming.
"Mom, is my sister Mei'er here?" Yang Huaming deliberately asked Tan in a loud voice.
Tan's smile visibly froze, and she stared at Yang Huaming gloomily without saying a word.
Old Yangtou's smile was a bit unnatural, but he still said to Yang Huaming: "Your sister probably hasn't heard the news yet. Besides, I don't need to make everyone know about such a trivial matter..."
Yang Huaming interrupted Lao Yangtou's words. He came closer to Lao Yangtou and said with an exaggerated expression: "Dad, you are already in your early eighties. Yongxiao is the fifth generation under your feet. Don't talk about you." In this situation, even if you fart or sneeze, it will be a big deal to our old Yang family!"
"No matter how old I am, what you said is too exaggerated. It makes me afraid to fart or sneeze."
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Lao Yangtou probably laughed at himself.
As a result, Yang Huaming did not accept this joke, but continued to run on his own runway.
"Besides, Dad, most of the people in the village know about this. On my way back, I met several villagers who asked me how you were doing!"
"Ah? Is this still the case? Who are those people? I really appreciate their concern..."
"Hey, dad, please don't interrupt," Yang Huaming waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about Mei'er. She is your biological daughter. Why doesn't she come over to visit? That's outrageous!"
"Mom, are you right what I said?"
"I'm so mean to you!" Mrs. Tan kept warning Yang Huaming with gloomy eyes, but in the end, Yang Huaming was pretending to be blind!
"Your sister has your sister's affairs to be busy with, how can you take care of everything?" Ms. Tan continued.
"Besides, when she is done with her work, she will definitely find time to visit your father. She is not an unfilial person!"
"Oh, if Mom insists on talking to Mei'er like that, then I can't do anything about it." Yang Huaming shook his shoulders, then stood up straight, "I'll go back first, tell me if anything happens, third brother and fifth brother If my brother and the others are not at home, I will take care of them. Parents, please don’t be embarrassed to call me at the entrance of the village!"
"gone!"
Yang Huaming waved his hand and left the east room.
As he walked forward, Tan threw the feather duster at hand with his back foot and hit it on the door frame.
"Who is this, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ms. Tan was so angry that if Old Yang hadn't grabbed her left arm, she would have caught up and beaten Yang Huaming.
"Ask him to help the old man call a doctor and pay for the medicine, and that's all."
"He's pointing at this and staring at that. Even if Meier didn't come, he, as the elder brother, wouldn't be able to pick and choose!"
"The old man and I are not dead yet. We haven't spoken. Why do you, the elder brother, want you to nag? What the hell, can't you just do your duty?"
Tan cursed for a while, and she believed that one or two words would reach Yang Huaming's ears.
If it can be transmitted, that's enough.
In the east room, Old Yangtou persuaded Mrs. Tan.
Cao Bamei and Xiuxiu are also trying to persuade Tan not to be serious with Yang Huaming.
Yang Ruoqing said nothing.
Because of her fourth uncle's words and deeds, she didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about.
Fourth uncle was originally a person who refused to suffer losses, he was very shrewd.
Not to mention anything else, just say that to build a house with four rooms, 90% of the money to build the house was saved by Fourth Aunt and Kang Xiaozi.
Then the three girls gathered some help, and then they built the large house with four bedrooms.
And the money that the fourth uncle earned in the Taoist temple did not say that he would not use it to supplement the family income.
The fourth uncle still paid for the money to support the family, but the money he earned at the Taoist temple was far more than that. The bulk of it was actually saved for Tiedan!
