When Yang Ruoqing left, she passed by the main room in the front yard of Lao Yang's house. Hearing her footsteps, Zhao Liu'er flashed out of the house.
Looking at Yang Ruoqing with a smile, she not only held the bowl she had brought the rice cakes to, but also held two rags in her hands. It seemed that she was going to wash the rags in the pond at the entrance of the village, so the two of them walked together.
On the way out of Lao Yang's house to the pond at the entrance of the village, Zhao Liu'er and Yang Ruoqing chatted with each other, and then the conversation, pretending to be unintentional, turned to the matter of Da Mo's husband, Lao Chu, going to town to find something to do.
"Qing'er, this is the third sister-in-law. You and I are indistinguishable from each other. I'm asking you in private."
"Third sister-in-law, it's okay if you just ask."
"Damn Mo, your sister-in-law, and your cousin, haven't they spoken to you about Lao Chu before?"
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Zhao Liuer.
There was no flame of gossip dancing in Zhao Liuer's eyes. On the contrary, her eyes were very calm, full of questioning.
Yang Ruoqing guessed that these words were not Zhao Liuer's own inquiry, but a question for others.
It shouldn't be the big Mo family or the little Mo family involved. The most likely ones are Lao Yangtou and Tan family.
The old couple sent Zhao Liuer to have a chat with Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help laughing at this.
Co-author She has become the director of human resources?
Relatives and friends of the old Yang family, whenever they have no errands to do, they will immediately and instinctively think of coming to her, Director Yang, to solve the problem?
Come to think of it, who wants to make the arduous trek on their own when there is a shortcut?
Looking at the inside and outside of Lao Yang's family, the only ones who really rely on themselves to endure hardships are Dabao and Jiang Guiling from the fifth house...
Others, including the vegetable stall at Kang Xiaoziwa Market, more or less rely on the care of some Tianxianglou.
So this time, Lao Chu, a relative of the fourth room, was looking for something to do. Lao Chu went to the town to find something, and it was probably very puzzling for him to fall into the eyes of Lao Yangtou and Tan.
"Third sister-in-law, before I answer this question of yours, can you answer me a question first?"
"Qing'er, just ask."
"Who sent you to touch my mouth?"
Zhao Liuer was startled for a moment, then blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
But she still told Yang Ruoqing truthfully: "It's me."
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "I guessed it was his old man."
Zhao Liu'er said: "I don't have any other intention. I'm just a little confused when I see Lao Chu going to the town alone to find something to do."
"He just said that Lao Chu has lived in your Luo family for so long. Isn't there a first-come-first-served approach to the water? People who are unfamiliar with the place have to go out and look for it on their own? So I gave me a chance to ask you about it. There is nothing else. I force you to arrange this for Lao Chu."
Hearing Zhao Liuer's explanation, Yang Ruoqing smiled, "Don't worry, third sister-in-law, I didn't say that I had any intention of making arrangements for you!"
"My father is too gossipy. As the head of the family, he also likes to be nosy, hahaha..."
Zhao Liuer also laughed.
"Qing'er, didn't the fourth room ask you to help me?" The topic returned. After answering Yang Ruoqing's question, Zhao Liu'er picked up the previous question again and asked.
Yang Ruoqing stopped laughing and shook her head: "They didn't hint anything to me, and I didn't take the initiative to extend an olive branch to them."
"Oh? So that's it. Since they don't take the initiative to ask for it, there is really no need for you to get work for yourself." Zhao Liu'er said.
"What the third sister-in-law said is absolutely true." Yang Ruoqing said, taking advantage of the situation to hold Zhao Liuer's arm and walking side by side, and said into Zhao Liuer's ear: "Old Chu is a martial artist. He is a capable and thoughtful person, and he also has his own dignity."
"A man with strength and dignity wants to rely on his own ability to make money to support his wife and children after recovering from his injury. This is human nature and we must respect it."
"Have the temerity to tell people that you should stop working hard and let me help you. I think this is not a good thing. On the contrary, it will hurt people's self-esteem. Unless they are cornered and driven to the point where they have no choice but to take the initiative to find me, let me help you." If I help you, then I can think about it, and I can only think about it. I am not the omnipotent person that my father thinks."
"Third sister-in-law, do you think what I said is right?"
Zhao Liu'er nodded repeatedly: "Qing'er, what you said makes sense. It is indeed the case. We really have no reason to rush!"
"Besides, you and Tang Yazi are where you are today because of your hard work."
"To put it bluntly, you drag a few uncles and brothers, it's because we have nothing to do after we are born, we are all cousins of the same grandparents, and we grew up together."
"As for other people's families, we can't afford to rush to help. It seems cheap to get it so easily!"
Yang Ruoqing looked at Zhao Liu'er in front of her with a deep look, never expecting that the third sister-in-law could say such heart-breaking words.
This is entirely from the perspective of the Luo family, and they are very sensible and repay their kindness.
This made Yang Ruoqing a little moved.
"Third sister-in-law, you are a sensible person." She smiled, and the two sisters continued to talk and laugh as they walked towards the pond.
Zhao Liuer was going to wash the rag. Yang Ruoqing knew that she had brought the rag here to wash on purpose, just to talk for a while while walking.
Yang Ruoqing didn't tell the truth and just said to Zhao Liu'er: "Third sister-in-law, come to my house again after you wash up. I have something to do with you."
There were other people near the pond, but Yang Ruoqing didn't say anything clearly.
Zhao Liu'er didn't ask explicitly, just nodded and smiled: "Okay."
…
Soon, Zhao Liuer finished washing the rag and came to Luo's house.
Yang Ruoqing handed her a few fried glutinous rice cakes. The rice cakes were sprinkled with chili powder, and some were wrapped in sweet sauce such as honey.
"Take it back for Da Niuniu to eat. There aren't many glutinous rice cakes, so I didn't deliver them door to door."
Making glutinous rice cakes was too laborious. The uncle and uncle spent more than half an hour swinging hammers. Yang Ruoqing only gave half of the glutinous rice cakes to the Sun family, and kept the rest for the family to eat.
Zhao Liuer thanked her a few times and hurried home with the hot rice cakes.
Yang Huaming and Kang Xiaozi from the fourth room also returned from work. Yang Ruoqing asked Wang Cuilian to send a plate of glutinous rice cakes to the fourth room.
When Wang Cuilian left, in the fourth room, Yang Huaming was very happy to see the cake.
He asked Liu Jinchuan to take the first one.
Liu Jinchuan had eaten at Luo's house during the day, so he refused to eat it and let others eat it.
Yang Huaming said: "Why are you so polite as a family? You are pregnant with a baby. I guess the baby hasn't eaten yet. You should eat it quickly and treat it as if it is a taste for my eldest grandson."
Kang Xiaozi also looked at Liu Jinchuan with encouraging eyes.
Liu Jinchuan couldn't bear it, and he was embarrassed to say that he had already eaten at Luo's house for lunch, and he also ate four pieces...
