Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11596

"Oh, fourth sister-in-law, please stop talking. That person was killed by a weasel. It sucked all his blood. It's creepy just to look at it."

"Hey, what's the big deal if I sucked all the blood out? When we kill a chicken at home, we cut the chicken's neck first, drain the blood, and then pluck the feathers and gut it. It's the same principle."

Yang Ruoqing was amused. "Fourth Aunt, so what you said means that we should thank the weasel? Thank it for saving us the step of cutting its neck and bleeding it?"

Liu laughed and said, "I can't thank you either. Chicken blood is also a good thing. It tastes good!"

After saying that, she turned around and continued to instruct Sun: "Third sister-in-law, next time there are weasels, don't throw the chicken away. I'll eat it."

The few chickens that were bitten to death in the third room at the beginning were all smelly and inedible when they were discovered a few days later.

The nearest one... Liu had time to give instructions.

Seeing Liu's strong request, Sun had no choice but to nod: "Okay, if you are not afraid, I will give it to you when the time comes..."

Just as Liu was about to thank them in advance, Yang Ruoqing interrupted them. She patted the wooden fence beside her and said, "You two are really talking nonsense. Look at what this is. You have reinforced it like this. What's the purpose?"

"Fourth Aunt, go and think about the chickens at someone else's house. The weasel can't do anything to my mother's chickens and ducks."

Sun also reacted, smiling, and reorganized her words to Liu: "Fourth sister-in-law, I'm afraid I can't agree to you. From now on, our family of chickens, ducks and geese will prosper!"

"But don't worry, when my family kills chickens and ducks, I will definitely invite you to come over to eat!"

……

A few people were chatting in the backyard when there was some noise coming from the front yard.

Liu had sharp ears, so she listened carefully, her eyes wavering as she said, "From the noise, it seems like Third Brother and his friends are here to pick up Mei'er and her friends!"

Sun and Yang Ruoqing were drawing water from the well to wash their hands. Hearing this, Sun straightened up with a look of surprise on her face: "So soon? Then I have to get ready quickly. We are having lunch in our third room this afternoon!"

It is not clear how many days Yang Huamei will stay this time, but one thing is that before she came back, Old Yang had already visited all the rooms and basically determined the food and logistics for Yang Huamei and her son while they were back.

During the day, lunch is arranged to be eaten at several houses a little further away from the village entrance.

Breakfast and dinner were arranged for the families living nearby the old house.

Yang Huamei took care of clothes, diapers and so on by herself.

The mother and her children lived in the east room, which Bao Suyun had cleaned up two days ago.

Compared to most girls in the village who have married out, especially those who have been married for more than 20 years, when they return to their parents' home in their younger years, their brothers from their parents' side may not be too negligent towards them because their parents are still alive.

But when my parents passed away, my mother's family was controlled by my sister-in-law, brother's wife and others, and even divided up, so it became difficult to go back to my mother's family.

As the years go by, when the aunt of the past becomes a great-grandmother, when you return to your parents' home, there may not even be a house for you to stay in. You have to go back after having a meal, and you will no longer have any connection with the village where you grew up.

Compared with those girls who married out, Yang Huamei is really very happy.

Even Yang Ruoqing, a soul from the modern times, couldn't help but sigh that Yang Huamei was really lucky.

Born in this era, her parents are still alive, her brother and sister-in-law are all kind, and even her nephews and nieces-in-law dare not neglect her.

She was going back to her mother's house and sent a message. Her two brothers dropped what they were doing and went to pick her up.

My sisters-in-law arranged the house and distributed the meals in advance, it was really...

"Mother, it's too early to cook breakfast now, we can cook half an hour later." Yang Ruoqing said. "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I will help you cook later. It will be fast if we cook together!" Liu volunteered.

"How can I do that? I have to trouble you..." Sun did not doubt him.

But Yang Ruoqing knew clearly that the reason why Liu was so proactive was mostly because she wanted to eat in the third room openly, which was Liu's habit.

However, even if Liu didn't take the initiative to help with cooking, Fourth Uncle and grandparents would come over to have lunch together at noon today.

By then, Liu will inevitably be invited, so it all makes sense.

So Yang Ruoqing said, "Mother, since Fourth Aunt is willing to help you, then just let her do what she wants. We are sisters-in-law, why should we be polite? Isn't it Fourth Aunt?"

Liu nodded repeatedly and gave Yang Ruoqing a thumbs up: "Qing'er, I love what you said the most. We are a family."

"By the way, Third Sister-in-law, which chicken should we kill this afternoon?" Liu asked, her neck stretched out, searching in the chicken coop in front of her, choosing the clucking one that caught her eye the most.

Sun hesitated a bit and said, "There are not many chickens left. Four were lost during this period..."

"Third sister-in-law, why don't you kill a chicken to entertain Mei'er at noon? She's still feeding the children. Chickens are swollen. If you don't kill it, aren't you afraid that our good-tempered mother-in-law will scold you?"

Liu made a face and emphasized the word "good temper" in a humorous way.

Sun laughed dryly. Even if her mother-in-law was unhappy, she would accept it.

These chickens and ducks that we raise ourselves are saved for slaughter and eating during festivals when the children come back from various places to reunite with our families.

Fuwa and Jiaojiao all said that they like to eat the chickens raised by grandma/Gapo because the meat of these chickens is delicious.

"If there is no chicken, I can buy some other dishes. It doesn't necessarily have to include chicken." Sun said.

Liu smacked her lips and shook her head repeatedly, "It's hard to say, chicken is noodles..."

Yang Ruoqing's eyes flickered, and she directly saw through Liu's thoughts: "Fourth Aunt, I'm afraid you want to eat chicken yourself, right?"

Her thoughts were exposed, and Liu's face turned slightly red.

"I want to eat chicken, but I'm also speaking the local language. Killing a chicken and having a table full of vegetables is still impressive."

"Without chicken, even if you cook a table of delicious dishes, people will say you don't have the presence of your father. Sister-in-law, don't you think this is true?"

Sun's face was full of confusion. This was indeed the truth. When they were visiting relatives and friends, they were asked if the host had any food.

People will say: You killed a chicken just for me! That's very polite!

If the chicken is not killed, they will just smile dryly and say: There are vegetables, meat, fish and wine.

People will question: Didn’t you kill the chicken?

At this time, you will be a little far-fetched to help the host explain: there are so many dishes, we can't finish them even if we kill a chicken. Besides, I went there on short notice and didn't call in advance. It's dinner time, so it's too late to kill a chicken. Maybe next time...

If it is a woman who has just given birth and is in confinement after childbirth, in order to show how good her in-laws are to her, she will say: I ate twenty or thirty chickens during my confinement period!

Once these words are spoken, anyone with ears will be shocked and envious.

Even though I know that what you said is very watery, it is impossible to eat one a day. You will get tired of it and vomit.

But after squeezing out the water, even if there are not twenty or thirty, there will definitely be fifteen or sixteen.

Therefore, chicken is the most valuable and prestigious item in the hospitality etiquette in the Mianniu Mountain area.

Sun refused to kill a chicken to entertain Yang Huamei. Was this a sign of disrespect for Yang Huamei or a challenge to Tan's authority?
