Every time I go back to see Zou Lin'er, I have to tell him many chapters of the plot of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Zou Lin'er will write a manuscript in the following days.

The manuscript was handed over to Zuo Junmo for printing, and it was distributed in large quantities......

In this process, Luo Fengtang and Na Risong were also busy with their own affairs.

During this period, Luo Fengtang went to the southern military camp twice and was busy training the army.

At the end of each month, I will take a few days to go back to Changping Village.

The days passed in such a busy and fulfilling way.

In a blink of an eye, three months have passed.

The days slipped quietly to the end of November of the lunar calendar.

It will be a month before the Chinese New Year.

"Qing'er, tomorrow is the Winter Solstice Festival, can Tang Lingzi come with a letter?"

After breakfast, when Yang Ruoqing came to the courtyard next door, Sun grabbed her and asked.

Yang Ruoqing smiled happily and nodded: "I didn't bring the letter to the family, but when he came back last month, he mentioned to me that there is a holiday in the military camp during the Winter Solstice Festival, and he should come back for the holiday." ”

In Daqi, and even in Daliao.

Whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, they attach great importance to the Winter Solstice Festival.

The government holds a congratulatory ceremony, which is called 'Hedong'.

Officials also have routine holidays, the army is on standby, the border is closed, business travel is closed, and relatives and friends give each other food and wine, commonly known as 'winter worship'.

In this rural area, local customs were added to each place.

Resting in the area of Changping Village is not only a happy moment for relatives and friends to reunite for dinner, but also a sacrificial day for burning incense to the ancestors' graves.

It is as important as the worship of Qingming, Yulan, and even the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

That's why Sun is so concerned about whether Luo Fengtang can come back for the winter solstice.

"If only I could come back." Sun said.

"Qing'er, tomorrow is the winter solstice, what are we going to eat on the winter solstice this year to meet the festival?" Sun continued.

Yang Ruoqing's thoughts gathered back and thought about it.

"According to the usual customs, we have to eat East Solstice noodles and red bean glutinous rice on the winter solstice." She said.

"But this year's winter solstice is different, my mother-in-law and they have spent it with us."

"I asked the Xiao family privately, and they all eat mutton and dumplings on the winter solstice."

"So I plan to do all the food in the north and south on the winter solstice this year, and it just so happened that Brother Zuo came back from doing business in the east last time and brought the osmanthus stuffed over there."

"Shall we have a hodgepodge?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Sun nodded again and again: "I'll see it!" ”

"I'll prepare the red beans and glutinous rice, what's the whole mutton?" Sun asked again.

Yang Ruoqing patted her chest: "Give me the mutton dumplings!" ”

The place where the fragrant roe deer is kept in captivity also raises a few sheep.

Slaughter one to celebrate the festival, and when the time comes, make two tables of meals, invite relatives and friends to come over and have a lively meal together, and have a good winter solstice festival.

The mother and daughter made up their minds, and Sun said: "I'll go and wash the clothes first, and after drying, I'll add them to soak glutinous rice." ”

Yang Ruoqing hurriedly said: "I'm all here, I'll wash the clothes." ”

Sun said: "This can't be done, what should you do if you freeze your hands on a cold day?" ”

"I wash it with well water, so it doesn't freeze." Yang Ruoqing said.

Some time ago, she washed the dirty clothes of her own house and her mother's house.

But in the last ten days, she hasn't washed.

As for the reason......

"Qing'er, have you had your menstrual period over?" Sun asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It's over, so I have to wash this clothes, and my mother is not allowed to rob me." ”

Sun's focus is no longer on who washes clothes.

"Qing'er, my mother has a problem, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, but I haven't dared to speak." Woman.

Yang Ruoqing grinned and said, "We are two mothers and daughters, mother, what do you want to ask, just ask." ”

Sun reached out and grabbed Yang Ruoqing's hand and dragged her aside.

After seeing that there was no one around, Fang Cai said in a low voice: "You and Tang Lingzi have been married for almost four months, and Tang Lingzi has to come back once a month and stay for two days." Why hasn't your stomach moved at all? ”

"Forehead ......"

Yang Ruoqing's head was full of black lines.

Seeing Sun hiding like this, he thought he was going to ask something.

It's been a long time, is this it?

"Qing'er, people say that doctors are difficult to heal themselves, don't patronize your business and exhaust your body!"

"After the New Year, you are fifteen years old, your sister-in-law, your sister Lan'er and the eighth sister are all pregnant, so I will leave you!" Sun said again.

Yang Ruoqing's face turned red.

Hey, in the second half of the year, there are a lot of things happening at home.

My sister-in-law Yang Huamei is almost seven months pregnant, and because of the twins she is pregnant, her belly is like a blown ball.

The inconvenience of movement caused Yang Huamei to pick up the chopsticks when they fell on the ground.

As for Yang Ruolan, the Xiao family was merciful after all, and did not do anything to Yang Ruolan's children.

However, due to Xiao's violent policy towards Na Risong, Yang Ruolan couldn't stand the man she looked up to and relied on, like an angry bag in front of Xiao.

In order to have a safe environment for raising a baby, Yang Ruolan temporarily moved back to Lao Yang's house and still lived in the old house.

Yang Hualin is a gentleman who doesn't know how to take care of pregnant women.

specially invited a widow in her thirties from Lijia Village to serve Yang Ruolan.

And Cao Bamei was found out to be pregnant last month.

But Yang Yongjin was so happy, in the rented house in the town, he had a good baby.

Therefore, now the eyes of the big guys are all on Yang Ruoqing.

"What's that......"

Yang Ruoqing rubbed her hands very embarrassed, she had always been articulate, but when she explained this kind of thing, she was clumsy.

"Mother, my body is fine, and Tang Yanzi's body is also very good......"

"Since everything is very good, why haven't you been pregnant for so long?" Sun asked again.

"Forehead ......"

Yang Ruoqing lowered her eyelashes slightly.

"We ...... We're going to pass it, and we're not going to have children for a year and a half. ”

"Why not?" Sun was puzzled.

Becoming a parent, isn't it just to strike while the iron is hot and give birth to a baby?

It's best to have one a year and a pair every two years.

No, it's better to have twins!

If Yang Ruoqing could hear Sun's ventriloquism, she would probably faint.

"Mother, I'm not very old now, I want to wait, don't worry."

She continued.

Sun looked at his daughter's body.

"Well, it's okay to raise a baby for another year and a half." Sun said.

"You and Tang Yanzi have discussed, we won't say anything, what we are looking forward to most is that your husband and wife are in harmony." And the woman said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "I understand." ”

The mother and daughter said a few more thoughtful words, and then went their separate ways and got busy.

While washing clothes by the well in the backyard, Yang Ruoqing's mind kept thinking about the previous conversation with Sun.

In the days when Yan'er was newly married, she and Tang Lingzi almost didn't stop every night.
