The internal meeting in the east room lasted for nearly an hour and then ended.
When Yang Ruoqing returned to Luo's house, Blacksmith Luo was still waiting for Yang Ruoqing in the yard while taking a nap while enjoying the cool air.
"Uncle, are the two children asleep?"
"I've been sleeping for a while. Your aunt is staying with them in your room."
Blacksmith Luo yawned and stood up, preparing to move the bed and bamboo chairs into the main room.
Yang Ruoqing helped him pack his things into the main room, and Blacksmith Luo went to lock the courtyard door before returning to his room.
Yang Ruoqing also returned to the dormitory. In the dormitory, the two children were indeed asleep.
There was a mat on the big bed, and the mosquito net was hanging down. Wang Cuilian was sitting on the edge of the bed, already dozing off, but occasionally she nodded too hard and woke herself up, and then she realized that the fan had fallen to the ground.
So she quickly picked up the fan and fanned it on the bed a few times, sending a gust of breeze to the two sleeping children so that they would not be stuffy and anxious while sleeping.
When Yang Ruoqing came in, she happened to see this scene.
She was moved in her heart.
Over the years, Tang Yazi was able to work on his career outside with peace of mind, because her wife was a stable home front, allowing him to focus on nothing and have no worries.
And the reason why she can guard the rear stably? Mainly because there are uncles, aunts and other close relatives around me.
They help them take care of their children, which frees them up to do other things.
Because children are young, they take up a large part of adults' energy.
Raising children is a hard job, and it is also a task that tests carefulness and patience. People who have no true feelings for children cannot care for children well.
Moreover, this true feeling and good patience are not a whim on a certain day or a few days, but day after day, year after year. They are persevered and integrated into life and habits.
"Auntie, I'm back. You can go and have a rest."
Yang Ruoqing came to Wang Cuilian and said softly.
"Oh, I'm back, I'm back."
Wang Cuilian tried her best to open her squinted eyes, but she was too sleepy and struggled to open them.
Then she stretched out her hand to wipe her face and yawned to wake herself up.
"Tuantuan said he wanted to drink water before going to bed. There was no cold water in the room at that time, so I poured him a bowl of hot water and put it on the table to cool down."
"The child was probably sleepy. He fell asleep before the water cooled down."
"Please pay attention later at night and don't make him thirsty."
Yang Ruoqing followed Wang Cuilian's guidance and looked at the table. There was indeed a bowl full of cool water on the table.
"Well, I understand. Later when I'm sleeping, I'll tell him to get up and relieve himself, and I'll let him drink some water."
"Yes, that's good. Children like to scratch their own hair when they are thirsty. When the time comes, it will be fine if the hair falls off."
Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly: "I remember, aunt, you can rest assured and go to sleep! I will give them both water immediately."
At this point, Wang Cuilian finally left the bedroom with confidence and returned to her own room.
Yang Ruoqing also took turns picking up the two little ones, feeding them each a few spoonfuls of warm water with a spoon.
Yuanyuan is sleeping very deeply. It is estimated that no matter what you feed him at this moment, this silly boy will not refuse.
Tuantuan was much smarter and more sensible than Yuanyuan. When the spoon was brought to his mouth, his closed eyebrows suddenly opened, revealing a pair of sleepy yet alert black eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Tuanbao. It's my mother. Drink some water and sleep!"
Under Yang Ruoqing's soft soothing voice, Tuantuan closed her eyes, opened her mouth in response, drank less than half a bowl of water, and then turned over and fell asleep again.
After taking care of the two children, Yang Ruoqing went to the bedroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed again, holding a goose feather fan in her hand for herself and the two children.
There is no electricity in this era. Regardless of whether it is winter or summer, everything depends on the wisdom of the working people.
Yang Ruoqing shook her fan until her arms almost cramped, but her mind didn't stop.
why?
Mainly because the content of the internal family meeting she attended at the old house tonight was so exciting that her cerebral cortex was still very excited and couldn't stop at all. She kept thinking about the bizarre events between Yang Huamei and Xu Yuanming. Things, and the aftermath...
Yang Ruoqing had a hunch that even if the two of them planned to leave home and go out together, they would still have to go through a lot of setbacks in the process.
Being ruined and disgraced, being humiliated on the ground and being trampled on like the sole of someone's shoe... I guess you can't escape this!
Therefore, there will definitely be a period of chaos in the future, and Yang Ruoqing plans to just quietly be a melon-eater.
…
The night passed.
During breakfast the next day, Yang Ruoqing revealed the matter in private to Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian.
The chopsticks in Blacksmith Luo's hand were so shocked that they fell to the ground.
"Ah? Why did you drop the chopsticks?" Blacksmith Luo muttered to himself, then quickly leaned over to pick up the chopsticks, and took them to the kitchen next door to scoop out some water to rinse them.
It doesn't work without rinsing, it fell on the floor.
At the table in the dining hall, Wang Cuilian had just recovered from the shock.
She asked Yang Ruoqing in a low voice: "Qing'er, is this news true?"
"Auntie, Xu Yuanming has come to see my grandma. He said these things himself, how can they be false?"
"No, no, I mean, is there really a baby in Mei'er's belly?" Wang Cuilian asked again.
Yang Ruoqing nodded affirmatively: "It's been almost three months, but I haven't shown my pregnancy yet.
No, maybe she is showing her pregnancy, but the clothes my Aunt Meier wore were very loose, and the light in the east room was dim last night, and she had been sitting there, so it was hard to tell without looking carefully! "
Wang Cuilian clicked her tongue.
"I can't hide this matter anymore," she said again.
"You know it, but before you know it, Xiao Hei Dabai and the Xu family all know it."
"Auntie, Wang Hongquan also knows, otherwise he wouldn't have used a fire stick to drive my aunt out of Lao Wang's house."
Now Yang Huamei lives in the east room, living with Mr. Tan. Old Yangtou has moved to the next door to build a shop.
Moreover, Yang Huamei's things are still at Lao Wang's house. Even if she leaves the house, she still has to get a few changes of clothes and so on, right?
As long as I go back to get things, I will definitely have to fight with Lao Wang's family.
"What do the old Wang family members say?" Wang Cuilian asked this question again.
When a widow remarries, her husband's clan members must agree to let her go. This is how I ended up remarrying Blacksmith Luo.
It's just that my husband's family was a small surname in Changping Village, and there were only a few clansmen. The ox tails of each family could not cover the ox rump. So when I was about to remarry Blacksmith Luo, those people simply couldn't. I don't have the energy to point fingers.
