Xiaoduo was a little worried that Yang Ruoqing would be persuaded, so she quietly tugged on Yang Ruoqing's sleeve.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and found a reason to decline the meal from the Sun family, and took Xiaoduo and the others back to the Luo family.
After arriving at Luo's house, the three girls, Lingling, Jiaojiao and Rourou, immediately started playing hide and seek among the verandas, rockeries, and flowers in the front and backyard.
Although Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were missing, the three sisters still had a great time.
Because girls grow up a little, their preferences in playing games will be somewhat different from boys.
Boys like to play some games with a bit of violence, while for girls, the games are very well-behaved and gentle.
Play hide and seek, pick some flowers and grass, sit on the porch, or sit on the grass or rocks to have situational conversations, or find a little stuffed animal to dress up as a puppy...
"Looking at how devoted they are to playing the game, they can probably play for two hours. Just in time, we have some free time to eat!"
"Sister, what's delicious for lunch?"
"Cousin Zhou Wang sent chickens, ducks and geese over yesterday. What do you want to eat?"
"Sister, I've been craving for a dish for a long time. I just didn't know you were reluctant to cook it for me."
"Go, go. If you want to eat, just say so. Are you being playful with me? Huh? Are you looking for something to eat?"
"Giggle..." Xiaoduo covered her mouth and laughed, then whispered a few words into Yang Ruoqing's ear.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up and she looked at Xiaoduo: "What? Are you too greedy? Can't you just order two simple dishes? Are you going to tire your sister and me to death?"
Xiaoduo smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Sister, I will ask Shengnan to help you slaughter and pluck the hair. He will do the work, and you will provide the seasonings and stove fire..."
"Then you say something, right?"
"hey-hey……"
Xiang Shengnan on the side saw the cheerful scene of the two sisters talking and laughing, and was also infected by this emotion, and couldn't help but laugh along.
In comparison, the atmosphere here is indeed better. After all, it is a closer relationship...
A gaze swept over, and Xiang Shengnan, who was following Silly Le with a grin on his face, realized that the gaze came from Yang Ruoqing.
His smile disappeared immediately, and he became a little reserved, not daring to look Yang Ruoqing in the eyes.
He knew in his heart that since what happened two years ago, his eldest sister Yang Ruoqing's affection for him had almost completely disappeared...
In the past two years, he carefully took care of the family and took good care of Duo'er and the children. On the one hand, he wanted to atone for his sins.
At the same time, he also hopes to win forgiveness from Yang Ruoqing and his father-in-law through his actions...
Although it seems to be somewhat effective, it does not mean that they can completely forgive themselves.
After all, there is no way to save the little girl's life...
So when Yang Ruoqing glanced over from the corner of his eye, Xiang Shengnan immediately stopped laughing. He lowered his eyes and said to the sisters, "What should I do? Just give me your order."
Xiaoduo directly told Xiang Shengnan in a crisp voice: "There is a big white goose tied up in my sister's backyard. Go and clean it up. Work quickly and pull out the goose feathers!"
Xiang Shengnan looked at Yang Ruoqing again, and Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Xiang Shengnan immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to work in the backyard.
In the main room, Xiaoduo asked Yang Ruoqing: "Sister, it's still early, what should we do next?"
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the rising sun outside and said, "It's really early. You go with me to the vegetable garden first and cut some mugwort and calamus. When you come back, we'll put up the doors and windows of my parents' house and the fifth bedroom."
Because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo have made an appointment to go to the grassland to celebrate the festival together.
So do these things in advance today, and it will save you trouble tomorrow. When the time comes, you can sleep in and get up and go there.
The sisters took sickles, ropes, and a large-capacity bamboo basket to the vegetable garden.
When she came back, Xiaoduo held a large bundle of fresh mugwort and calamus in her arms, enough to fill the doors and windows of several houses.
In addition, Xiaoduo also held a cut vanilla in her other hand.
This kind of thing called vanilla looks like spinach, but the leaves are not as round as spinach. They are a bit more like orchid leaves. They grow in clusters beside the ditch in the vegetable garden. They look very delicate at first glance.
It exudes a light fragrance and takes a whiff to wake you up. The fragrance is not pungent at all.
Even if it is picked and cut for two or three days, even if it wilts, the fragrance is still there. It is everywhere in the wild at the turn of spring and summer every year, and is deeply loved by girls.
Xiaoduo picked a lot and was going to take it back to Lingling, Jiaojiao and the others to play with.
Rourou is still young and doesn't know how to appreciate these things now, but when she reaches a certain age, the beauty-loving gene in her body will awaken.
As for Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo, the two sisters filled several houses with mugwort and calamus they brought back.
Finally returned to the kitchen, and at this time, Xiang Shengnan had already sorted out the big white goose that Zhou Wang had sent yesterday.
After disembowelling the goose, the feathers on the goose were not only plucked, but also washed several times with water, and finally hung under the eaves at the door of the kitchen, so that cats could not catch them and birds could not peck at them.
When Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo moved the battlefield to the kitchen, Xiang Shengnan quietly retreated.
But please note that he was not idle either, because Xiaoduo sent him to clean up the chicken manure in the yard of her parents' house next door...
"Sister, I often heard your mother-in-law talk about a famous dish in the north, stewed in a large iron pot. I've been craving for it for a long time! It's true!"
"Haha, I'm actually greedy for the big goose stewed in the iron pot, but this dish also needs a soul garnish."
"What?"
"you guess."
"Is it vermicelli?"
"no."
"Is that...sauerkraut?"
"You guessed it right!" Yang Ruoqing picked up a basin, went to the corner of the kitchen, opened one of the jars, leaned over and fished out two sauerkraut pickled by Wang Cuilian.
The air was filled with a sour smell, and drops of sour water fell from the yellowed sauerkraut into the basin.
"Oh my god, I haven't eaten this yet, but it's so sour that I can't stop drooling." Xiaoduo raised her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth sheepishly, and said with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing teased her: "You are so drooling, people who don't know would think you are pregnant again!"
A sour boy and a hot girl, Xiaoduo also reacted immediately.
She blushed and gave Yang Ruoqing an angry look, "Sister, please stop teasing me. It's not like you don't know about my physical condition. I probably won't be able to do it again in this life..."
Although her tone sounded self-deprecating, it was even a bit playful and relaxed.
But the fleeting loss in her eyes could not escape Yang Ruoqing's eyes.
When Xiaoduo gave birth to her second daughter, her foundation was damaged.
I have been doing conditioning in the past two years, but with little effect...
"Don't think about it so much. Just let these things happen. If you take good care of your body, it will naturally happen when it should happen." Yang Ruoqing added.
