Seeing Li Youwei running out, Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with affection.
This girl is still the same as before, her heart and eyes are all about him.
"Run slowly and you won't be afraid of falling!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
Before Li Youwei could say anything, her mother who followed closely couldn't help but scolded: "You crow's mouth, stop talking nonsense!"
Then, Ye Lifang said to Li Youwei: "You girl, be careful, don't be rash, take care of yourself!"
Li Youwei also realized that what she just did was a little inappropriate, nodded hurriedly and said: "Well, mother, I will pay attention to it in the future!"
Seeing that his mother's tone was a little serious, Zhou Yang hurriedly said: "Mom, what are you doing? She is timid, don't scare her!"
Ye Lifang smiled and said, "You do love your wife, so why don't you ask me why I don't let her run away!"
"Why?"
Ye Lifang glanced at her daughter-in-law, and then said: "Xiaowei, you should talk to him!"
Li Youwei's face turned red, and then she said to Zhou Yang: "I...I have it. Mom is doing this for my own good!"
"Yes...are you pregnant?" Zhou Yang asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah!" Li Youwei said softly.
Zhou Yang was surprised, happy and distressed, and immediately said: "Why don't you be more careful when you are pregnant? Don't blame mom for talking about you!"
"Um!"
"You guys go in first, I'll move the things in the car in and then talk to you!" Zhou Yang said.
Li Youwei was about to say, "I'll help you." But thinking of her mother-in-law's usual nervousness, she would definitely not let her carry heavy objects, so she finally swallowed her words.
Ye Lifang also wanted to help, but Zhou Yang did not agree because his mother was not in good health.
There aren’t many things anyway, and with Master Yang’s help, it won’t be very tiring.
Soon, everything in the car was moved into the house.
Li Youwei and Ye Lifang were shocked when they saw the things Zhou Yang bought.
Especially the big fat sheep made them feel a little incredible.
Mutton itself is expensive these days, and mutton shrinks easily. A pound of raw mutton may be converted into mature meat, and only five or six taels are left. Even though everyone knows that mutton is delicious, few people will spend money to buy mutton.
If you have that kind of money, wouldn’t it be delicious to buy more pork?
It is even rarer to buy a whole sheep like Zhou Yang.
"Xiao Yang, did you buy this sheep or was it a gift?"
Ye Lifang knew that her son had gone to help a large unit in the city and had made meritorious deeds. She thought that this sheep might have been given to him because of his hard work and merit.
"I bought it!" Zhou Yang said truthfully.
Ye Lifang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked: "How much...how much did it cost?"
"It's 110 yuan!"
"One hundred and eleven...so expensive?"
Ye Lifang and Li Youwei both opened their mouths, obviously frightened.
At present, the monthly salary of a second-level worker in the city is only about 36 yuan, and the maximum salary for the leadership is 45 yuan. In other words, Zhou Yang's sheep actually cost an ordinary worker three months' salary.
"You kid is too good at spending money randomly..."
Before his mother could finish speaking, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Mom, I bought them all. You said they are of no use anymore. Come over here and help me clean them up. Let's have stewed mutton for lunch!"
"Hey, my son can't help his mother..."
"Mom, why haven't you seen Bao'er?"
Zhou Yang knew his mother's character. If he was allowed to continue talking, he would not be able to live in peace for the rest of the day, so he could only change the topic.
"Going to her grandma's house. Uncle Bao'er just came back from the hospital these days. There is delicious food. The little girl was clamoring to go there as soon as she woke up in the morning!" Ye Lifang said.
Hearing that his eldest uncle had been discharged from the hospital, Zhou Yang immediately asked Li Youwei: "How is your eldest brother's recovery?"
Li Youwei immediately said: "It's very good. I can already go to the ground to move, but I have lost some weight!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Brother suffered a lot this time and even underwent major surgery. It's normal to lose some weight."
"Well, the doctor said the same thing. He told me to go home and take good care of myself. He will recover in a few months!" Li Youwei said.
"Yes, let the old man over there give brother some more nutrition!"
"Um!"
Afterwards, Zhou Yang called Master Yang into the house to rest. After all, he had to run more than 100 kilometers in the afternoon.
Zhou Yang himself returned to the kitchen and started making lunch.
Before cooking, Zhou Yang asked about his mother's physical condition.
I learned that after these days of Chinese medicine conditioning, my mother's body has recovered very well. She is no longer dizzy as before, and she has strength.
Later, Zhou Yang told her about going to the fertilizer factory.
Regarding her son's arrangement, Ye Lifang thinks it's pretty good.
After all, she also knew that Zhou Yang's father was really not good at taking care of her, so it would be better to go back as soon as possible.
The only one who was a little bit reluctant to part with her was Bao'er, the eldest granddaughter. She took Bao'er with her every day these days. The relationship between grandparent and grandson was so good. I didn't expect that they would be separated again so soon, and my heart was full of reluctance.
At the same time, Ye Lifang still has a little regret in her heart, that is, she cannot watch another little grandchild being born.
However, I thought that my daughter-in-law was less than three months pregnant and it would be at least half a year before she gave birth. It would be fine to come over then.
Afterwards, Ye Lifang started to pack her things and prepared to leave with Master Yang after finishing the meal!
Zhou Yang did not help himself, but asked Li Youwei to help his mother pack things, while he hurriedly cooked!
Zhou Yang has already thought about the lunch meal, stewed mutton, and the staple food is pulled noodles in mutton soup!
He first found a small ax and split the white-striped lamb in the middle, and then used a kitchen knife to separate half of the lamb chops and leg bones.
He didn't move the remaining half, planning to send it to his old house later.
After all, there are two pregnant women and one sick person in the old house, and they are also in urgent need of meat.
Zhou Yang put the divided lamb chops and part of the ribs into the pot. After adding water, he added some green onions, ginger slices and salt, and left the rest to the firewood.
The grassland sheep in Saibei are famous for their delicious taste. The authentic way to eat them in the pastoral area is to only add salt when cooking and leave out other seasonings.
This can ensure the freshness of the mutton to the greatest extent without worrying that the flavor of the seasoning will suppress the taste of the meat.
But Zhou Yang is not a herdsman in a pastoral area, so he can't get used to eating this kind of pure-tasting hand-meat.
He likes to put some onion and ginger in it. After the meat is cooked, he cooks some vegetables or noodles in the soup. When eating the meat, he also likes to dip some chive flowers or chili sauce.
All in all, Zhou Yang likes to eat meat, but he doesn’t like the way it is eaten in pastoral areas.
While the meat was cooking, Zhou Yang cut the remaining half of the sheep into large pieces, then put them into a large iron basin and carried them to the old house.
By the way, call back that little foodie girl of yours.
The reason why it is served in a basin with a large iron basin attached to it is mainly to prevent others from seeing it.
These days, everyone is miserable. Anyone who eats pure white flour steamed buns will be envied for a long time, and eating fried cakes will become news in the village.
It would be better for you to send half a sheep to your father-in-law's house. If someone sees it, you won't know how jealous you will be.
Although the sheep was neither stolen nor robbed, and everyone knew that Zhou Yang had a source of money, Zhou Yang still did not dare to be too showy.
There is no big mistake in being careful, jealousy can make people crazy!
