Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Xiao An sighed and said: "We were at a stalemate at first, but in the end it was revealed that Sister He'er and niece Xiu Xiu were waiting behind. After thinking about it for a while, my father voluntarily gave up the idea of ​​collecting a dowry."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "My father was trapped. As a last resort, he had to cut off his tail to survive, haha."

Xiao An also laughed.

Although Blacksmith Luo next to him didn't laugh, he had an idea in his heart.

In the past, everyone envied the old Uncle Yang and his wife for their good fortune and having many children. Now it seems that some things have pros and cons.

Something like tonight is the best example.

The family is still as simple as raising Luo Fengtang.

One achievement is worth tens of millions.

Everyone chatted for a few more words about the old Yang family. Yang Ruoqing handed over a bowl of mung bean soup on the stool next to Xiao An: "I left it for you to make you angry. You ate something so spicy at noon."

"Thank you sister." Xiao An took it and was about to drink it when the two little guys who were sitting on the cool bed looking up at the moon and listening to Wang Cuilian's story about the Weaver Girl suddenly turned their heads at the same time and looked at Xiao An eagerly.

Tuantuan: "Uncle, can't you finish your drink? Do you want me to help you take a sip?"

Yuanyuan licked her tongue directly. "Uncle, I want to drink too."

Xiao An was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and pointed at the two little guys: "You two, one is a little slippery and the other is a greedy cat."

"Come, come and drink!"

The two little guys cheered, and immediately stopped listening to the story, and hurriedly crawled over to Xiao An, who was sitting at the end of the cool bed.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.

"Didn't you two drink it? Why are you still thinking about my uncle's mung bean soup?"

Tuantuan rubbed his belly and said, "It will be gone after peeing."

Yuanyuan nodded.

Yang Ruoqing was speechless.

Wang Cuilian laughed, put down the cattail leaf fan and stood up: "Don't worry about uncle, there is still some in the jar, I will get it for you."

Yang Ruoqing said: "What else? Then each person will drink half a bowl. You are not allowed to drink too much, otherwise you will have to get up frequently at night to urinate, which will tire me to death!"

This is actually just an excuse. How can a mother dislike getting up all night to take care of her child to pee and tire herself out?

The main concern is that if the children drink too much of this kind of cooling stuff, they will kick off the quilt covering their chests at night, and then the gastrointestinal medicine will be ruined by the cold!

"It's warm in the jar. It'll be fine if you drink a little. Don't worry, Qing'er."

Wang Cuilian immediately understood Yang Ruoqing's worries and added.

In this case, Yang Ruoqing was relieved.

After enjoying the cool breeze until late at night, Yang Ruoqing had already carried the two children back to their bedroom.

Yang Ruoqing said to Xiao An: "Why don't you go back at night and just sleep on the cool bed in the yard. There are mosquito nets installed around the cool bed anyway."

Everything in the village is good, but there is one thing that is not so good, that is, there are too many mosquitoes in the summer.

At night, the two children lay on the cooling bed to enjoy the coolness. Almost from beginning to end, two adults had to fan them frequently to drive away mosquitoes.

After a long time, the children felt comfortable, but it was painful for the adults. After the whole night, their arms were sore and numb.

So later Yang Ruoqing suggested that they use the steamed bun-shaped tents of later generations, combined with the length and width of their own cooling bed and the height of the children to stand up. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated and spent two days to set up this steamed bun-shaped outdoor mosquito net. .

It is very good to use it for Xiao An to sleep at this time.

Xiao An was also a little shaken and said: "The western sun in my house is more serious. It will probably be a bit stuffy when I go back now. It is indeed not as comfortable as sleeping in the yard."

"Okay, then I'll sleep here and won't come back tonight."

Yang Ruoqing was about to get a pillow and quilt for Xiao An when Wang Cuilian came over.

He pulled Yang Ruoqing aside and said, "Qing'er, if you stay with Xiao An any other night, I won't stop you."

"Forget it today and tomorrow!"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then belatedly remembered that tonight was the fourteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar, and after midnight it would be the fifteenth day of the seventh month.

Some traditional things are better to be respected. So, Yang Ruoqing returned to the bedside and said to Xiao An, "Forget it, you'd better not sleep here."

"Sister, someone changed their mind after peeing, but you didn't even go to the toilet, so you just changed your mind?"

"Hey, on the night of the Ghost Festival, it's better for us to follow some taboos. At least there will be no harm."

"Haha, as a hot-blooded person like me, I don't shy away from those things."

"This has nothing to do with your strong blood. There is no harm in respecting the traditions of our ancestors. Come on, let's go. I will see you there."

"No, no, no, as you said, tonight will be the Hungry Ghost Festival. I'll go back by myself. You live in a woman's house. I won't worry about you coming back later."

"If you're not worried, just give it to me!"

"Ha, I'll see you off, and you'll see me off again. We'll go back and forth, and we'll have to wait until dawn."

"Okay, okay, that sister won't see you off anymore. You should go back to bed quickly!"

"okay!"

"Oh, by the way, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning? Sister will cook it for you!"

"Sister, I'll eat whatever you guys eat, so I can make a living!"

"it is good!"

Tonight was a special day and Luo Fengtang was not at home, so we agreed during the day that Wang Cuilian would move over tonight to keep Yang Ruoqing and her son company.

In fact, Yang Ruoqing is not afraid at all, but if the aunt doesn't agree, the old man will be worried.

So she readily agreed.

"Auntie, you go to the bedroom to sleep with the children. I'll go to the kitchen to knead the dough for tomorrow morning."

"Okay, don't work too late. Try to go to bed early tonight."

"Ok."

Yang Ruoqing returned to the kitchen, kneaded a large smooth dough and put it in a ceramic basin.

I said hello to my aunt during the day. They were going to kill the pig in the middle of the night, so I took Gastrodia to the meat shed to buy it at dawn.

Tomorrow is the Ghost Festival, and every household is expected to have their meat weighed. Yang Ruoqing also said hello to her aunt.

Tomorrow Uncle Ma Liang will send five kilograms of pork belly. Then Yang Ruoqing can directly chop the meat stuffing to make his favorite fried buns for Xiao An.

The night was quiet.

Far and near, I heard one or two dogs barking from the village.

Yang Ruoqing did all this quickly, then washed her hands, closed the kitchen door and walked towards the bedroom.

Before walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the fields outside the backyard.

She couldn't tell what the sound sounded like. It sounded like a bird chirping, but the sound sounded a bit like a child's cry.

But it was so late at night that no one would let their children cry outside.

The voice screamed a few times in the fields outside, and then went in the direction of the village, and it passed overhead.

Even a brave person like Yang Ruoqing, who is an expert in art, feels like his scalp is hairy and his whole body is numb when he hears this voice.

She whistled.

In the darkness, a secret guard appeared with a sword in his hand, "Woman, what are your instructions?"

"Tell your brothers tonight to be on guard on both sides of the yard."

"Yes!"

The secret guard retreated, and everything calmed down.

These two days are special days. Yang Ruoqing is not afraid of those mysterious things. Those things will not easily find you without cause and effect.

What Yang Ruoqing has to guard against are people with ulterior motives. They will take advantage of such a special day and others' fear of these two special days, and then do things that only young people do!
