The news of Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang's return to the village is even happier for Yang Huazhong's family than the Chinese New Year.

"Qing'er, the north is not cold, what are you going to eat, look at your face has lost weight"

From entering the door to sitting down in the hall, Sun took Yang Ruoqing's hand and asked these questions.

"Mother, I wear a lot of clothes, not cold."

"The food over there is similar to ours, if you have money, you can buy anything to eat."

Yang Ruoqing patiently answered with Sun one by one.

Over there, Luo Fengtang was also talking to Yang Huazhong.

Old Sun Tou, Mrs. Sun, as well as the eldest aunt and uncle, Luo Blacksmith, Xiao An and Xiao Jie are all here.

The hall was bustling with activity.

"Mother, what about Da'an and Dajie," Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Sun said: "School will start on the sixteenth day of the first month, and a few days ago, they had a day off in the school. No, it's time to go to school again. ”

Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized that after two months of leaving, her home had already come out of the New Year's flavor.

After the Qingming Festival, the earth is rejuvenated, and the crops and farming are going to be busy.

"Qing'er, you're tired from traveling, go back to the house first to wash your face and change your clothes."

"Mother goes to the stove room to cook rice, and burns the dishes that you and Tang Lingzi love to eat," Sun said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Sun said to Yang Huazhong again: "Don't pester Tang Lingzi to ask too much, let him drink tea and rest." ”

"What about you, go to the old mansion, say hello to Qing'er Ye and them, and come over at night for us to have a reunion dinner together."

"Okay, I'll go."

The crowd went their separate ways.

Luo Fengtang also followed Luo Blacksmith's house to wash and scrub and talk privately.

Here, Yang Ruoqing changed out of her bulky cotton clothes and washed off the dust.

I climbed into bed again and slept beautifully.

When you wake up, you are full of energy, and then change back into spring clothes.

Seeing that the sun was setting outside the window, she heard the laughter of her aunt in the stove room, so she quickly got out of bed.

in the stove room.

The eldest Sun was kneading dough in a large basin, where Sun was picking up a large handful of wild vegetables.

"Mother, what are you cooking?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and entered the stove room and asked.

Da Sun said: "Your mother said that you love to eat Artemisia Baba, no, make Artemisia Baba at night to eat." ”

Artemisia baba

Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly came to Sun's side.

Sun was squatting on the ground to pick up wild vegetables, remove the weeds inside, and wash the remaining leaves in clean water.

Then rub the cleaned leaves on a stone on the side.

Rub the sour water out of it

"Qing'er, why don't you sleep a little longer," Sun asked as he rubbed it.

Yang Ruoqing looked at it with relish and said, "I also slept all the way in the carriage, and I will sleep again at night." ”

Sun nodded, "It's okay." ”

Yang Ruoqing saw that there were still some wild artemisia seeds on the side that had not been picked, so she picked them up to help the Sun family pick them up.

"Mother, this artemisia is so fresh, when did you pinch it?" she asked.

Before Sun could agree, the eldest Sun hurriedly said, "When you were sleeping before, your mother went outside to pinch in the field." ”

"She said that you like to eat artemisia baba, and you are all in a hurry to pinch the most tender at the top, which is a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing looked at Sun.

Sun shook his head busily and smiled lovingly at Yang Ruoqing: "Listen to your aunt, it's not effortless at all, and my mother is not tired." ”

Yang Ruoqing looked at Sun.

Sun's face was full of smiles.

But the shoes under her feet were covered with mud.

Obviously, in order to pinch these tender artemisia, she ran a long way and walked all over many ridges.

"Mother, you will go to the side, I'll rub it."

Yang Ruoqing said and rolled up her sleeves.

But was stopped by Sun, "You don't know how to knead, if you don't knead it properly, the artemisia baba made is not only not fragrant, but also bitter, mother."

"Mother, I can't be idle, can you assign me some work?"

Yang Ruoqing is coquettish.

Sun smiled: "You kid, what's your life?"

The eldest grandson also smiled: "Qing'er, if you really want to help, just chop some bacon, and then fry it with the wild artemisia seeds to make baba core." ”

"Okay"

Yang Ruoqing happily took action.

She grabbed her knife and went to the warehouse where the grain was stored.

Planing the dry rice, pulling out a knife of air-dried bacon from the dough, and returning to the stove.

I washed it for the first time with the rice washing water left over at noon, and then rinsed it with clean water.

Then cut a small lump of pork belly, put it on a cutting board and cut it into slices, and then chop it into meat foam.

This side is chopped, and the wild artemisia seeds in Sun's hand over there are almost kneaded.

"Qing'er, your hands are sore, come and rest, and I will do the rest of the work with your aunt."

The Sun family dragged Yang Ruoqing aside.

&n

bsp; Yang Ruoqing had no choice, so she had to stand on the side and watch, talking to the two of them.

Sun is not a man of many words, but the eldest Sun is a magpie.

The twitter, the chatter.

From the head of the village, to the end of the village.

In the year since she moved from Sunjiagou to Changping Village, she has become familiar with the people in the village.

There are a lot of gossip and gossip that the Sun family doesn't know, and the big Sun family knows it.

There is no need for Yang Ruoqing to ask, the big and small things that have happened in the village in the past two months, the eldest grandson has popularized her.

In the end, the topic came to Liu's body.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but ask: "Count the days, my fourth aunt should give birth."

Liu was found to be pregnant in June last year.

By the beginning of March of the following year, it had been nine months, almost.

Da Sun said: "There is no movement yet, the belly thief is big, and the big guys say that they are pregnant with two." ”

"Ahh

Yang Ruoqing was surprised.

When she left, she had seen sixty or seven months pregnant, and her belly was not too big.

If it is really twins, you can see the clues from the age of three or four months.

Over there, Sun, who had been busy pinching poop, also accosted.

"It shouldn't be twins, I heard Fourth Uncle Qing'er say, I'm afraid it's because she has a big appetite in the later period, she eats everything, and adults and children have gained weight." She said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, I also think it's mostly like this." ”

"By the way, mother, my grandmother is about to take our turn to support her."

"Yes, in February, your second uncle and second aunt cook and do laundry, and this is the first and third year of junior high school."

The three of them talked and laughed, and the work in their hands did not stop.

A hearty meal is almost ready before you know it.

When the day completely set, Daan Dajie came from school.

Old Yang, they all came over.

In the hall, the men sat in a circle around the Eight Immortals table, and Luo Fengtang took out the tobacco leaves brought back from the north to entertain them.

The backyard is also more lively.

Yang Yongqing, Da'an, and Liu's three daughters are all playing in the backyard.

The backyard is like a children's paradise, with children of all ages laughing and playing.

Yang Ruoqing helped prepare chopsticks and bowls in the stove room.

From time to time, I glanced at the scene in the yard and couldn't help but smile.

This is the life I want
