Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11723

Dazhi was still a little hesitant, because when he held the red envelope given by his uncle and aunt just now, he clearly felt that something was wrong with it.

It is definitely not a simple silver ingot or something like that. It is too valuable and really difficult to collect.

Seeing Dazhi's hesitation, Xiao Qiao said to Dazhi, "My uncle and aunt are polite, but you should ask mother's opinion first."

The young couple looked at Yang Ruoqing together.

Yang Ruoqing originally did not intend to get involved in this matter, and let them discuss and decide on their own. However, since the two children asked her to help make a decision, she might as well get involved again, as long as they did not mind her being too nosy as a mother-in-law.

"Since it's a gift from your uncle and aunt, just accept it. They're not outsiders," said Yang Ruoqing.

"But mother, it's too expensive." Dazhi said.

Too expensive? What's inside?

Yang Ruoqing became interested, but it was not easy to open it on the spot, so she could only wait until she got back to look at it.

"No matter how expensive or inexpensive it is, it is a token of our elders' love. Please accept it. When there is a happy event in my uncle's family in the future, you can also spend some money if you have the ability, haha!"

Just like that, Dazhi and Xiaoqiao accepted it and thanked Xiaoan and He Lianer again.

The gathering in the third room at noon was very lively. Needless to say, the food in the third room was excellent. Sun had sent Yang Huazhong to the town early in the morning to pick up people and buy groceries.

So many dishes could not even fit on the 8-person table, so we had to take the dishes in the front off the table while serving the dishes at the back.

Sun and Yang Ruoqing, mother and daughter, never sat down to eat. Even though the food was extremely sumptuous, neither of them picked up their chopsticks.

Why?

Because when Yang Huazhong's family lit up fireworks and firecrackers to welcome Nini to their home, the sound was undoubtedly announcing to others that there was a big happy event at home.

All the relatives and friends at home, as well as the villagers who have regular contact with the Yang family and the Luo family, received this secret code.

Following the traditional customs of Changping Village, everyone placed the gifts that had been prepared long ago on a clean wooden tray, covered it with a red cloth, and carried it to the third room at the entrance of the village.

Sun and Yang Ruoqing did not sit at the table to eat because they had to continue receiving those who came to give gifts.

Usually, it was women who brought trays with gifts, and it was inconvenient for Yang Huazhong to entertain them.

Sun is the mistress of the third house, Yang Ruoqing is Nini's grandmother, and Xiao Qiao is a new bride who is unfamiliar to her and she can't even recognize her, so it is not convenient to let her come forward.

So this burden naturally fell on the shoulders of Sun and Yang Ruoqing.

If Nini didn't sleep during this period, she might ask Ronggu to bring her over so that the aunties, grannies, and sisters-in-law who came to give gifts could take a look at the new little one.

Later, Nini felt sleepy, so Aunt Rong carried her back to Luo's house to sleep.

After all, a three-month-old baby has limited energy and is not suitable to stay in such a noisy environment for a long time.

There were a bunch of people, including men, women, old people and children. You never know if anyone of them is carrying any virus or something, which would not be good for Nini, so Nini simply stayed in the third room for half an hour and was sent back, so that the women who came later to give gifts could not even see what Nini looked like.

"I'll go to Luo's house to see the little girl another day."

"Okay, you're welcome to visit my granddaughter anytime."

"I know she's going to be good-looking without even seeing her," a woman said, "Dazhi and Xiaoqiao are so good-looking, how can the baby they give birth to be bad? She's going to be good-looking, a beauty!"...

Under the old maple tree, noon.

The villagers, who had been working for most of the day, temporarily stopped work and hurried back home, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and went straight to the old maple tree at the entrance of the village.

Yesterday they had mutton for both lunch and dinner, and they enjoyed the meal very much. Many old people woke up this morning and told everyone they met that this person really needed to eat some meat.

Just because they had eaten the food from the Luo family and the old Yang family yesterday, which was rich in oil and had mutton, they lay down and slept until dawn last night without getting up the whole night.

If this happened under normal circumstances, with an empty stomach, wouldn't I have to get up three or five times a night?

In order to express their gratitude to the Luo family and the Yang family for their kindness, most of the villagers who had enjoyed the free meals took out a few eggs, a few handfuls of salty noodles, half a pound of brown sugar and red dates, etc. from their homes, put them on a tray, and delivered them to the third room at the entrance of the village.

"Our family is not well off, and we can't afford to give the little one anything nice. We can only come here to add some color to the scene. Please don't despise us."

"The little baby is precious. I'm afraid these things of ours are not worthy of being displayed on the table. But they are our little token of our appreciation. Please accept them..."

"..."

Seeing that many unexpected villagers came to support little Nini, Sun was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Look at what you said. Our whole family is happy and grateful that you can come and add to the good fortune!"

"Come on, come on, have some tea in the room."

Whether they were relatives and friends, or the villagers who came to add to the fun, they brought trays with eggs, noodles, brown sugar and red dates on them.

When it is time to leave, the host will never allow them to leave with an empty tray, and will place a return gift on the tray.

This time the gifts were mostly food, such as peanuts and broad beans.

The host who is better off might even mix in a handful of candies or a few pieces of sesame and peanut candies to make the meal look more presentable.

But it’s different in the third room.

Sun not only prepared peanuts, broad beans, sesame candies, but also candies and a portion of fermented glutinous rice cakes for each person.

Yang Ruoqing asked Xingwang and Ping'an to bring back this glutinous rice wine sweet cake from the pastry shop in the county when they went to pick someone up in the county.

The fermented glutinous rice cakes can be kept for about half a month. Each portion contains about one pound of thin cakes, which are as big as the palm of your hand and cost more than ten or twenty pieces.

Let these women who come to add to the fun take the food home and make snacks for their children. The children will surely be happy.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Look, it’s over there, Mr. Omura.

Today Dasheng beat his youngest son again.

The reason was the same as yesterday. The youngest child went to play at the neighbor's house next door and happened to catch the neighbors having lunch. Each person had a bowl of rice. The rice was white rice. The youngest child was not envious because every meal at home was white rice.

What the youngest envied was the dishes at the beginning of the meal. There was not only fried eggplant with green and red peppers, but also fried goose eggs, and large chunks of steamed pork with rice flour!

The neighbor's little sister saw that the youngest son was very greedy, so she let him take a bite of the steamed pork with rice flour. It was so soft that the youngest son cried!
The young lady told the youngest that the big iron pot at the entrance of the village was full of water, and on top of the water was a steaming grid that was bigger than a bathtub, and it was full of steamed pork with rice flour, and you could go there and eat it!
