Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11751

"Qing'er, your Nini is here! How come you still have time to come over here? Come in and sit down, I'll find you a chair!"

Although Yang Huamei and Tan had a minor disagreement when they visited the Luo family last time, they both managed to let go of the negative feelings after some time had passed.

Especially when Yang Huamei turned her head and saw Yang Ruoqing standing smiling at the shop entrance, Yang Huamei was very excited and immediately ran out to grab Yang Ruoqing's arm.

He had just grabbed it when he suddenly realized his hands were covered in oil, so he quickly pulled them back, picked up a damp cloth and wiped them a few times, then continued to beckon Yang Ruoqing and Xingwang in.

Hearing the commotion, Xu Yuanming also came out to greet them.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, then went into the shop. Xingwang didn't come in; he stayed outside and waited patiently.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanming brought out another stool for Xingwang.

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome."

Xu Yuanming patted Xingwang on the shoulder, then turned and went back to the shop to talk to Yang Ruoqing.

Inside the shop, Yang Huamei had already washed her hands. Of the only two stools in the shop, Xu Yuanming had taken one to the shop entrance for Xingwang to sit on, and the other was placed under Yang Ruoqing.

So Yang Huamei stood next to Yang Ruoqing and talked to her.

The two first inquired about each other's children, and after a few casual questions, when Yang Huamei asked Yang Ruoqing why she had come to town today, Yang Ruoqing told Yang Huamei about He'er's premature birth.

Yang Huamei was shocked after hearing this.

"Oh dear, that brat Kang, I'm going to give him a good scolding when I see him again."

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

Just as Yang Ruoqing was wondering how Kang Xiaozi had offended Yang Huamei, Yang Huamei continued, "No wonder I've been seeing him alone at his stall lately. I haven't seen Jin Chuan with Liangliang. I even asked him why they didn't come with you."

"And guess what he said?"

"What do you say?"

"He said it was too hot, so Jin Chuan stayed home to take care of the children and wouldn't be coming for the next few days."

"Haha, Auntie, you believe that too?" Yang Ruoqing laughed and asked back, "During the sweltering summer, Jin Chuan and her son came to Washi with you, going early and returning late. Now that it's autumn and the autumn wind is cool, they're suddenly afraid of the heat? That's clearly illogical!"

Yang Huamei nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I had the same thought at the time. I thought about it for a while and asked in detail. I always felt that maybe the young couple had something else going on. As their aunt, it wouldn't be good for me to keep asking them and make things difficult for them."

"I never imagined it was because He'er was born prematurely. Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? My aunt lives in town, I should have gone to see my niece!"

As she spoke, Yang Huamei took off her apron and hurried to the clinic.

Yang Ruoqing and Xu Yuanming stopped her together: "Don't go today, Aunt. I'm afraid He'er has already boarded the carriage and returned to Lijia Village. You'll just be wasting your time."

"Is that so?" Yang Huamei was somewhat hesitant.

At this moment, Xu Yuanming added fuel to the fire: "Qing'er is right. Even if you don't find it empty-handed if you rush over now, you'll be covered in oil and sweat and smell like roast duck. He'er just gave birth a few days ago, and it won't be good for her to smell that."

"You should probably set a date next time and go to Lijia Village with everyone to visit her." Yang Huamei thought about it carefully and nodded: "Okay, what you all say makes sense, I'll listen to you."

Yang Ruoqing didn't stay in their shop for long before preparing to leave, because in the meantime, another customer came to buy roast duck, and the couple had to get busy again.

"Qing'er, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

While greeting the guests, Yang Huamei tugged at Yang Ruoqing's arm, saying, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I have something to do."

Having no other choice, Yang Ruoqing could only stand aside and wait for the time being.

After Yang Huamei and the others finally saw off the group of customers, she gave Xu Yuanming a look.

Xu Yuanming smiled and nodded: "I know, don't worry."

Xu Yuanming turned and walked towards the hanging oven, taking out two fragrant roast ducks. The ducks were roasted to a golden brown, and the aroma was so enticing that Yang Ruoqing felt hungry.

Xu Yuanming wrapped the two roast ducks in two layers of kraft paper and tied them tightly. Then he took a few packets of homemade dipping sauce and chili oil, put them together, and stuffed them into the basket that Xingwang was carrying.

Throughout the process, Yang Ruoqing kept declining their gifts.

But Xu Yuanming ignored him and kept doing his work until he had stuffed the ducks into the basket before turning around and laughing.

Yang Huamei held Yang Ruoqing's hand the whole time and said to her, "Take the duck back and let your uncle and aunt, and the children have a taste. Old Xu's cooking skills are getting better and better. You can also give your opinions."

Since that was the case, Yang Ruoqing no longer needed to be overly polite to Yang Huamei.

The Luo family won't accept these two roast ducks for nothing. They will definitely find other channels and methods to repay this favor in the future.

After wandering around Washi for a while, we happened to come across an old farmer selling yellow peaches and white peaches. Both kinds of peaches were very large and juicy.

Yang Ruoqing was delighted, so she asked Xingwang to buy both baskets of peaches from the old farmer, put them on the cart, and then they returned to the village.

After returning home, Yang Ruoqing first took out one-third of each of the peaches and yellow peaches and sent some to the Sun family, her parents' family, the second wife's family across the street, and the new fourth wife's family next door.

Some of the remaining peaches were kept for the family, and there was still half a basket of white peaches and yellow peaches left. Yang Ruoqing called Rong Gu to boil water together and prepare to make canned yellow peaches. As long as they were sealed well, they could be put into jars and placed in the well to be stored for a very long time, so that the children could eat them slowly.

"Qing'er, thank you so much for taking care of this child these past few days. We'll come back for another meal of milk today, and then we'll send him back to Li Family Village later!"

Liu and Liu Jinchuan came over together, with Liu holding her little grandson in her arms.

"What? Are you sending her back this afternoon? He'er can feed herself, right?" Yang Ruoqing was busy making canned yellow peaches in the backyard and casually handed one to Liu Shi.

Mrs. Liu accepted it, overjoyed. "Delicious! You're all so skillful; you managed to make this!"

Nearby, Nai Ma had already come over to take the baby and feed her. Liu Shi, with her hands free, squatted down next to Yang Ruoqing, eating while talking to Yang Ruoqing about He'er's situation.

"...Did your father, your fourth uncle, and Kang boy go to the town clinic this morning and take He'er back to Lijia Village? Kang boy came back from Lijia Village earlier and told us that He'er can feed now. He misses her so much, he misses her so much that he's crying."

"My brother-in-law felt sorry for her, and my father also felt sorry for my sister, so they asked me to come back and pick up the child!"
