"Like the two of them, there is a life-saving kindness between them, and they know each other well, so it is quite good to live together, and they can live together!"
Tiejiang Luo and Wang Cuilian were talking about the marriage in low voices, and they both felt very good about each other.
Yang Ruoqing was silent for a while.
Wang Cuilian noticed this, so she turned around and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, why don't you say anything?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm thinking, why hasn't the Li family come to break the window paper for so long? Is it really because they are worried? Are they afraid that the fourth house still remembers the grudge from last time and deliberately refuses to agree?"
"I don't think that's the case." She asked herself.
From a man's perspective, if a man is a creature that really likes a woman and wants to marry her home, he will persist in her pursuit and will not give up easily.
The love that you give up lightly is not a real love, maybe it's just a temporary hormone.
The obsession to marry a woman and let her reproduce for him is engraved in a man's genes.
It is a kind of possession.
"I guess the Li family is busy with farming during this period and cannot spare any time." Wang Cuilian analyzed.
"What your aunt said makes sense," Blacksmith Luo also said, "You can't just stop working on the crops and just talk about marriage? Besides, you don't have to spend money on matchmaking and courtship?"
"Only when you finish your work first and wait for the autumn harvest to be harvested can you have the confidence to plan a wedding!"
…
Early the next morning, Yang Ruoqing sent a message to Yang Yongjin.
At the same time, letters were also sent to Dabao and Jiang Guiling in the county seat.
As for Yang Huazhou who was far away in Qing'an County, Yang Ruoqing did not send a message.
Because Yang Huazhou and Bao Suyun will take their granddaughter back to the village to celebrate the Ghost Festival, they will not go directly to the village. They will first stop at Dabao and Jiang Guiling when passing through Wanghai County.
The family met first, and then picked up Mianmian, who lived in the county town. The whole family then returned to the village together to celebrate the festival.
So as long as Dabao and Jiang Guiling know about it, Yang Huazhou will also know about it.
On the third day after the message was sent, that is, the day before the Ghost Festival, Yang Huazhou and Bao Suyun took their granddaughter, Mianmian took their grandson, Dabao, and Jiang Guiling, who was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth...
Everyone in the five houses, big and small, returned to Changping Village without any shortage.
In addition to Yang Yongjin, there was an unexpected person who came back with them, and that was Xiao An!
"Xiao An? Why are you back too? I thought you didn't have time to come back during the Ghost Festival this year!"
Yang Ruoqing was very happy to see her brother.
Xiao An said: "As you said, sister, I was really busy in the past few years, but another reason is that our parents take care of everything at home, so I sometimes get lazy."
"This year is different. My parents have gone to the capital. We can't have a male in the third room to burn incense and worship our ancestors, right? That would be too disrespectful to our ancestors!"
Yang Ruoqing really didn't expect her brother to say such responsible words.
This is really a complete growth!
"Originally, I was thinking that I would burn incense on my behalf. Since you have come all the way back, it's just right. If you go, your ancestors will be happier to see you!"
Moreover, if the parents in the capital know this, they will be even more happy and sigh that Xiao An has truly grown into a responsible man, able to stand alone and play a leading role!
…
Yang Ruoqing asked Wang Cuilian to send the key to the fifth room.
During this period, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian were taking care of the fifth room, especially this time. Two days before the fifth room came back, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took out all the mats in the wing of the fifth room and scrubbed them, and also carried the quilt under the sun. Exposure to the sun.
The tables, chairs, tea bowls, etc. in the room are all kept clean and tidy, and the doors and windows are opened for ventilation.
So when everyone in the five rooms came back, they almost packed their bags and moved in.
Wang Cuilian went to deliver the keys, and the two children Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan followed her to the fifth room to play with their sister.
At home, Yang Ruoqing said to Xiao An: "Although the yard next door is also tidy, I didn't know you were coming back today, so the mat in your room has not been wiped and the thin quilt has not been dried yet."
"You will stay at my sister's house for food and accommodation these days to save you the trouble of going back."
Xiao An said: "Sister, I will come to your place to eat, and I'd better go back to sleep!"
"I can just wipe the mat later. The sun is fierce right now, so I put the thin quilt on the wall to get an hour or two of sunshine and it will be enough. If it is exposed to too much sun, it will still be hot at night!"
Since Xiao An wanted to persevere, Yang Ruoqing wouldn't stop him.
"I'll go and clean it up for you. You sit down for a while and have a rest. This is a freshly cut watermelon. You eat it first!"
"Sister, I'm not tired. I'll go there with you."
Xiao An casually took a piece of watermelon in his hand, and acted like Yang Ruoqing's little tail as he did when he was a child, following her back to the three-bedroom yard next door.
Looking at the empty front and back yards of her home, and thinking of her parents' busy schedule when they came home, Xiao An felt a sense of despair.
"Not to mention, I didn't feel that way before, but now I suddenly feel like my parents are not at home, and home doesn't feel like home anymore."
Hearing Xiao An's words, Yang Ruoqing, who was squatting by the well and scrubbing the mat, smiled: "What's the saying? The place where parents are, is home."
"If parents are present, there is still a place to come in life. Without parents, life has only a way back."
"Even if I were your sister, you could have all-inclusive accommodation and food at my place when you come back. But since my sister is my sister and my parents are my parents, there will still be some differences in the feeling, right?"
Xiao An didn't say it was right or wrong. He just gnawed on the watermelon and smiled at Yang Ruoqing from time to time.
In his heart, in fact, the feeling of his eldest sister is not much different from that of his own mother...
But he didn't say this, because he was afraid that if he said it, his sister would think that he was saying that she was older, and he was afraid that her sister would misunderstand and think too much.
Because although my sister is already thirty-two years old, she takes very good care of herself and looks like she is in her mid-twenties at most, without looking old at all.
Yang Ruoqing did not continue to talk about this sad topic.
Life is like a bus, when it reaches the stop, someone will get off first.
Always be with family and friends along the way, instead of prepaying the pain of separation at the end of the journey.
Cherish the present moment, which means that the years are peaceful, your family is safe, and the mountains and rivers are stable...
"Xiao An, why didn't you bring Lian'er and Niu Niu back to have a look?"
"Has Niu Niu grown up now? He should be able to walk and talk?"
"Is Lian'er feeling well?"
"And your father-in-law and mother-in-law, are they still in good health?"
When asked about the affairs of his wife and children, the slight feeling of loss that he felt before was completely wiped out in Xiao An's heart.
While eating watermelon, he happily talked to Yang Ruoqing about the current situation of his wife and children...
