Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11890

That night, everyone gathered at the small two-room house at the entrance of the village to discuss important matters in the main room.

For this matter, Yang Yongjin specifically handed over the affairs of the restaurant to his second manager and another steward, because he himself would be staying in the village for at least three days.

The temperature dropped at night; outside, water froze instantly, and it wasn't much better inside.

To provide a comfortable environment for everyone who came to discuss important matters, Cao Bamei and Xiuxiu not only placed braziers on both fire buckets in the main room, but also lit two charcoal stoves in the room.

In this way, old men and women like Old Yang, Old Sun, Sun, and Liu could sit in the fire tub.

If others have cold hands or feet, they can warm themselves around the charcoal stove.

what?
With such a high concentration and high density of fire, won't carbon monoxide poisoning wipe out everyone attending the family meeting?

No, no!
This type of rural brick-and-earth house design features very high beams, and gaps are left in the roof, the wooden windows on the sides, as well as in the door seams and under the door frames.

Although the sealing performance of this type of house is not as solid as that of modern reinforced concrete commercial housing, it is very relaxing and safe to live in.

That night, Yang Ruoqing ate dinner early and went with Luo the blacksmith to the small two-room house across the road to attend the meeting.

Actually, Yang Ruoqing knew the main theme of tonight's meeting even though she didn't attend, because Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei had already come to the Luo family's house privately in the afternoon and talked to Yang Ruoqing about it.

Yang Ruoqing knew that they had returned because Sixi's family was preparing to propose marriage to the second son's family. Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei had to give in to their second daughter Xiuhong's wishes and agree to the marriage.

Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei came to the Luo family not only to express their gratitude to Yang Ruoqing, but also because if it weren't for her using her power... the Sixi family would never have submitted.

However, since the two families were preparing to arrange a marriage between their children, Si Xi's father and Da Xi and Er Xi could no longer be imprisoned.

Yang Ruoqing understood their meaning, and in front of them, she summoned a guard and asked him to send a message to the county government.

If things go as expected, Sixi's father and two older brothers should already be on their way back to the village after being released...

The main reason Yang Ruoqing went to the second room to listen to the meeting tonight was because... Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei's invitation was too... indecent, and she couldn't refuse.

In particular, Cao Bamei said, "Qing'er, I'll prepare a fire bucket for you then, and I'll make sure you don't catch a cold."

Not only that, Yang Yongjin also brought back half a freshly slaughtered goat from the restaurant. This half goat was not paid for with the restaurant's public funds, but was bought by Yang Yongjin himself.

Half of them were brought back to the village to be used for entertaining guests, while the other half were sent to the Luo family.

So tonight, everyone is coming to Xiao Er Fang not only to discuss important matters, but also to have dinner there.

Dinner was naturally roasted mutton that Yang Yongjin brought back from town!
"Qing'er, you and your uncle are going to the second room for dinner tonight. We'll leave the half sheep at home for now and deal with it when you come back tomorrow," Wang Cuilian said to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing said, "Auntie, there's no conflict between them."

"Later I'll ask Aunt Rong to cut off two pounds of lean meat from the front leg of the lamb. You can stir-fry some cumin and pepper lamb tonight to go with your rice."

"The kids should like it too. Tomorrow during the day, I'll make some mutton soup for them and some grilled mutton skewers!"

"Is that so?" Wang Cuilian was still a little hesitant. "Wait for you and your uncle to come back, then the whole family can eat together..."

Yang Ruoqing laughed and grasped Wang Cuilian's hand: "Auntie, my Uncle Ehuang will be able to eat tonight! My second brother has another half of mutton!" "Besides, you feel sorry that my uncle and I didn't finish it and want to save some for us, but my uncle and I also feel sorry that you didn't get to eat any!"

"So, let's eat together from both sides, then everyone will feel at ease! Just listen to me!"

……

At night, in the courtyard of the small two-room house across the street, half a sheep was sandwiched on an iron rack, roasted over a charcoal fire, sizzling and dripping with oil.

Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yongqing rolled up their sleeves and personally took charge of roasting the lamb.

A group of children of all ages surrounded the roasted lamb, all watching with curiosity and excitement.

Xiao Sanzi and the others, sniffling, asked countless times, "Are you done yet?"

When can we eat?

……

Not far away, at the entrance of the main room, Old Yang and Old Sun sat there, smoking their pipes and watching the scene with smiles.

Yang Yongjin was busy inviting Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming, and the Sun family to come over and sit down, while Cao Bamei, along with Xiuxiu, Xiuhong, and Xiao Moshi, were cooking dinner in the kitchen.

The star dish tonight is roast lamb, but eating only lamb can get boring, so we also need to prepare other stir-fries, fish, shrimp, and the like.

Old Yang looked at the lively scene in the courtyard of Xiao Erfang, where everyone was busy and had smiles on their faces.

Completely different from the nearly ten days of desolation and death, the small second room has now come back to life. Old Yang nodded with satisfaction. As people get older, they really can't stand all kinds of troubles. He just hopes that life can be peaceful and calm.

As for children and grandchildren, it's certainly a good thing if they are successful, but if they are not very successful, then they should just live a peaceful and stable life.

Whether it's an emperor or a beggar, in the end, isn't it all just a few decades of eating, drinking, and defecating?

When the King of Hell commands his troops, in the end, no one can escape death!
As night fell, Yang Ruoqing and Luo the blacksmith arrived. By then, the aroma of roasted mutton was incredibly strong, enveloping the entire courtyard.

Yang Ruoqing took a deep breath of the aroma and gave a thumbs up to Yang Yongqing, who was acting as a 'cook' in front of the charcoal grill.

"There's a guy named Ha who can smell the aroma of roasted lamb as soon as he's at the door."

Yang Yongqing grinned, looking smug: "Of course, I'm a cook whose talents were wasted on farm work."

Yang Yongzhi chimed in, "Come on, you're kidding me. You cut a piece for the kids before the hind leg was even cooked, and they were just being picky; they could tell something was wrong as soon as they tasted it!"

"If the children don't know this themselves and don't spit it out, who knows what kind of vomiting and diarrhea they'll suffer if they eat it!"

Yang Yongjin walked over with a smile and said to them, "Practice makes perfect, right? Once Yongqing gets the hang of it, he'll be fine. I still believe in his aptitude for this!"

Yang Yongqing's eyebrows twitched wildly: "My second brother understands me best. Third brother, you should learn more from my second brother!"

"We should be more tolerant and encouraging towards our younger siblings, and less critical and suppressive!"
