Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11438

However, Yang Ruoqing will not be defeated by the difficulties before her.

If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. At this age, it is time for her and Tang Yazi to play the role of pillars of the family.

The children are not yet fully adults, and the elderly are gradually declining. In the future, there will definitely be endless problems, big and small, in the family. Just solve the problems when they arise, keep your head down and move forward without thinking too much.

Bear up the pressure and don’t show negative emotions to the elders and children around you, and your home will remain warm as usual.

Wang Cuilian and Luo the blacksmith welcomed Sun into the main hall. Although Luo the blacksmith had a hoarse voice, he was in high spirits to chat. He was an enthusiastic old man who liked to chat. Moreover, he had been ill some time ago and had not left his room for half a month, so he was feeling very depressed.

"Where's the third brother? Why hasn't he come yet?" From the moment he entered the door to the time he sat down in the main hall, Blacksmith Luo had asked twice.

Sun said, "The third brother is setting up the carriage and will be here soon."

"Oh, all right."

Soon, Yang Huazhong also came over. He left the four elders in the main room to drink tea and chat, and left a few people in the front yard to look after the children. Yang Ruoqing, Rong Gu, and Linglan went to the kitchen in the backyard to continue cooking dinner.

Normally, the Luo family would have finished their dinner at this time. However, due to special circumstances today, Blacksmith Luo asked Aunt Rong and the others to delay the dinner time. It would not be too late to cook it after the children came back.

This also gave Yang Ruoqing the opportunity to cook.

Rong and Linglan took out the ingredients they had prepared in advance, ready for Yang Ruoqing to choose and then make a decision on the menu. Yang Ruoqing said, "No hurry, let me see what our two grandmothers packed first."

The first thing packed was a roast chicken, a whole roast chicken with all its parts intact, not a single missing component.

The second portion was dry-pot rabbit meat, wrapped in lotus leaves. Even though it had cooled down, you could still smell the peppery and spicy aroma when you opened it.

The amount of rabbit meat is not very large, only about 300 grams, but the celery and lotus root cubes in it are the perfect dish to go with rice.

Yang Ruoqing swallowed secretly and then unpacked the last four portions of takeout dishes.

"Eight Treasure Duck, Steamed Pork with Rice Flour, Crispy Pork, what is this?"

At first glance, Yang Ruoqing couldn’t tell what the last dish was.

It became a ball. I guess it was because I was inexperienced when packing it, and it was pressed into a ball at the bottom.

Rong Gu and Ling Lan came over to help identify it. Ling Lan said, "It looks like vermicelli, minced meat vermicelli."

Aunt Rong identified them and shook her head, "There was tofu, and something similar to a flatbread next to it, dyed with red oil..."

Yang Ruoqing suddenly had an idea, "I know, this is spicy vermicelli and tofu buns!"

"This bun is the signature dish of our restaurant, but it tastes best when it's just out of the pot. The bun skin is very tender and soft, and as bouncy as paper." Yang Ruoqing had definitely eaten it herself and found it very memorable.

Linglan listened with longing, then looked at the pile of buns in front of her with a look of regret on her face, "Oh, I'm afraid these buns can't be eaten. They've been crushed so hard that they can't be recognized as buns."

Aunt Rong said, "It's edible. The buns have a lot of fillings. Although the dough is broken, it is coated with red oil and rolled in the pan, and it is crispy and delicious."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and glanced at Aunt Rong, "Don't waste it. Fry it for a while, then stir-fry two plates of vegetables, and pick out a large plate of the quail eggs I braised this morning, and then we'll have dinner for the night!"

"start!"

……

At the dinner table, Yang Ruoqing was half-truthful about where Luo Fengtang had been. She said that he had gone to Qing'an County, but the reason for going to Qing'an County was that there was something urgent going on at the Ministry of War.

When the elders in the family heard that Luo Fengtang had temporarily gone to Qing'an County for official business, they all put their worries aside.

Luo Baobao picked up a quail egg for Yang Ruoqing and asked in a low voice, "Mom, is my dad going back to the military camp?" Yang Ruoqing glanced at her, and the fleeting reluctance in her daughter's eyes did not escape Yang Ruoqing's eyes.

"I have to go back to the military camp. However, I talked to your father and from what he said, he seems to have no plans to go back in the near future."

"Oh, I understand." Baby Luo raised his head, his eyes brightened up.

"I will tell you in advance when your father is going back to the barracks. Then we will have a meal together to see him off!"

"Okay, that's a must!"

Luo Baobao was in a good mood and picked up quail eggs for others. Everyone was very happy to eat the quail eggs that Luo Baobao brought back.

Especially the two little guys Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who were eating with the sound of smacking their mouths, which maximized baby Luo's emotional value.

"By the way, Mom, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

"What's the matter, girl? Tell me."

"My brother Dazhi and sister-in-law Xiaoqiao, aren't they coming back to pay New Year's greetings this year?"

After Luo Baobao asked this question, except for Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, two ignorant little guys who were still immersed in the food, everyone else put down their chopsticks and looked at Yang Ruoqing.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that Dazhi would be able to bring Xiao Qiao back to spend some time together.

but……

Yang Ruoqing also put down her bowl and chopsticks, and looked at everyone calmly, smiling slightly: "It's like this, Dazhi received two letters before and after the New Year."

"The first letter was very confident that he would come back to visit relatives in the first month of the lunar year as usual."

"But three days later, the second letter arrived, saying that Xiao Qiao was feeling a little unwell and might have trouble traveling long distances."

"Ah? So, you can't come back this year?" Wang Cuilian asked, her tone full of disappointment...

Sun's disappointment was no less than Wang Cuilian's, but she still forced a smile and continued to ask Yang Ruoqing: "What happened next? Any more letters? It's almost March now. If we count the days, Xiao Qiao will be giving birth soon, right?"

When Xiao Qiao was pregnant, Dazhi wrote a letter to announce the good news.

But there was a big mistake in that letter. Dazhi was probably too excited and got the approximate date of delivery wrong...

Later, another letter came, correcting the situation. Xiao Qiao's due date was at the end of February or the beginning of March.

"There has been no letter for a while, but by the end of March, there will definitely be news." Yang Ruoqing said, "When Xiaoqiao gives birth, Dazhi will definitely write to her."

"However, after the baby is born, it may not be able to come to us in a short period of time. It will take at least three months, which is the summer..."

"It's good to come here during the summer. The weather is warm and children won't catch cold easily." Wang Cuilian said.

Sun looked expectant, "Then we can hold a hundred-day party for the child, it will be a great time."

Luo Baobao also held up his chin, his eyes bright as stars: "I didn't expect that I would be promoted to an aunt! Will it be a nephew? Or a niece?"

Sun said: "Nephew, it must be a nephew."

Wang Cuilian nodded with a smile.

Luo Baobao pouted, "Gaga, grandma, you favor boys over girls. This idea is unacceptable. We are women, and women should respect other women! We should respect other women!"
