Chapter 11537

The next day, after breakfast, Yang Huazhong was preparing to go to Lao Wang's house in the south of the village to see how Xiao Hei was doing today.

As a result, Liu grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and came to visit the third room while eating them.

"Where are you going, Third Brother?"

"Go out for a while." Yang Huazhong usually didn't like to tell Liu too much about his own affairs, and he didn't even want to talk about normal family matters.

It's not just because he and Liu, the big mouth, can't get along, but another important reason is the difference between men and women.

He already has a wife, and Liu is his younger brother's wife. As the eldest brother, it is best not to communicate too much with women like his brother's wife unless it is necessary. It is not good.

Yang Huazhong treated Liu and Bao Suyun in the same way, treating them equally.

Even the same applies to his nieces and nephews-in-law at home. Yang Huazhong has a very clear sense of the boundaries.

"Third brother, if I'm guessing correctly, you're going to hang out at Old Wang's house, right?"

Yang Huazhong has a sense of boundaries, but Liu doesn't. It's not that she doesn't have one on purpose. She is a noisy person who likes to gossip everywhere.

At this moment, she not only questioned Yang Huazhong again, but also jumped in front of Yang Huazhong and raised her arms to block his way.

Yang Huazhong quickly stepped aside and distanced himself from Liu. "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Hey, third brother, I'm not a man-eating beast, why are you hiding?" Liu was not stupid, and naturally she could see Yang Huazhong's resistance and avoidance towards her.

Yang Huazhong did not make any excuses, nor did he dwell on the issue. He just stared at Liu in front of him with a cold face.

His silent, cold and serious look made Liu dare not make trouble with him anymore.

Liu smiled and said mysteriously, "Third brother, you don't have to make a trip. Why? Because I just came back from visiting Old Wang's house."

Yang Huazhong's expression was finally no longer cold and serious this time, and there was something more in it. "Then tell me, what's the situation over there?"

Seeing that Yang Huazhong was interested in what she said, Liu started to show off again, "Brother, where is Sister-in-law? Is she in the house? Come on, let's go back to the main room. Let me sit down and have some tea and talk slowly."

"My mouth is so dry from eating sunflower seeds. I feel so uncomfortable..."

She started talking irrelevant nonsense again. Yang Huazhong hated this about Liu the most. It felt a bit like she was showing off.

"Your third sister-in-law is in the room, go find her yourself, I still have to go to Old Wang's house in person!"

No matter what kind of news Liu brought back, it would not be as real as going there to see it in person.

Even if he followed Liu back to the main hall and listened to her exaggerated stories, he would still feel uneasy. He had to go there himself to verify it, so this trip was inevitable.

"Third brother, why are you like this? I told you to just run less distance." When Liu saw Yang Huazhong turn around and walk out of the yard, she muttered a few words and did not dare to chase him anymore, so she turned and walked towards the main hall of the third bedroom.

Yang Ruoqing had just finished breakfast and came out of Luo's house. She saw Yang Huazhong hurried to the village entrance. Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and followed him.

"Dad, let's go together."

Yang Huazhong turned his head and saw that it was Yang Ruoqing. His expression instantly changed from the previous cold and serious to a friendly and kind expression. "I'm going to Old Wang's house..."

"Of course I know. I just happen to be going to the south end of the village to do some work, so we can go together."

The alley where Lao Wang lives.

Dabai's new house is at the entrance of the alley, and the courtyard door and the main hall door are all guarded by iron guards.

There is a peach tree planted in the yard. At this time of year, the tree is in full bloom with bright red peach flowers. Some branches pop out from the yard. It is really beautiful.

Such beautiful peach blossoms naturally attracted the attention of the children in the village, who always wanted to come and steal a few to take home and play with.

Otherwise, there would be no raised stones at the base of the wall close to the outside road.

There will be no traces of scraping on the wall.

Fortunately, Dabai's house is a brand new yard, and the wall has been modified to be relatively sturdy. If it were some other people's yard walls made of earthen bricks that are one person high, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand the digging of those kids.

In order to pick a few peach blossoms, the earth wall was torn down! The law does not punish the masses, a group of children committed a crime, the wall collapsed and they all ran away. You want to find someone to pay for repairing the wall, but you don’t know who to ask!

"The yard of Dabai's house is well cleaned. It seems that Wang Hongquan has not been idle either." The father and daughter passed by Dabai's yard and took a few looks inside. The fallen leaves and other things on the ground in the yard had been cleaned up to the corners, put into a dustpan and pressed down with a broom.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Old man Wang Hongquan has rheumatism in his legs and can't do farm work or climb mountains, but he can still do these less tiring housework."

Next to Dabai’s new house is a low adobe thatched house about the size of a garage.

This house was built by the two brothers for their mother Yang Huamei as a retirement home when Xiao Hei married Xu Qiaohong.

Yang Huamei was unwilling to live there at all, and most of the time she lived in Dabai's new house.

When Yang Huamei lived in the village, although no one lived in this house, she still took care of it. She used it to store sundries or firewood on weekdays.

But since she remarried and left Changping Village, the cottage has been completely abandoned.

Wang Hongquan only takes care of his two grandsons' houses and doesn't care about this cottage at all. Originally, everything was kept simple when it was renovated and built. Now, after more than half a year of wind, frost, rain and snow, the roof of the cottage has several large holes, half of the wall has collapsed, the sundries that were originally stored in the house have long since rotted away, and grass has grown in some places.

Yang Huazhong shook his head and said, "These things are good, even if they are chopped up and used as firewood, they are still good!"

Yang Ruoqing remained noncommittal.

"Big White is not at home for a long time, so old man Wang Hongquan can't cut the trees. Little Black is very strong, but he is very lazy. People living next door are too embarrassed to come and take things from Old Wang's house, so the trees can only rot, mold and be eaten by termites."

The father and daughter passed by Yang Huamei's cottage and came to the old house of Old Wang.

The old house was where Yang Huamei and Wang Shuanzi lived in the past, and later it was left to Xiao Hei and Xu Qiaohong.

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong came outside the yard and saw Xiao Hei carrying a load of buckets of water and just walking out of the yard.

When he saw Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing, Xiao Hei was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a silly smile appeared on his dark face.

"Uncle, cousin, you are here to supervise me, right? Hey, I'll set up the door as soon as I get home!"
