Chapter 2540 Fragrant and Crisp (four more)
In the kitchen, Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing were discussing what to cook for noon.

"All the vegetarian dishes are in this basket, but now I don't know what kind of meat dishes to order." Wang Cuilian said.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the ingredients in front of her, she found almost all the vegetarian dishes, but the most important thing was that the only meat dishes were two catties of pork belly brought by Zhou Wang.

"Qing'er, I went to the backyard to catch a chicken and kill it, what do you think?" Wang Cuilian asked.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, and said: "Killing chickens and roasting chickens is a bit exhausting, how about this, aunt, you burn this two catties of pork belly, and I will go to the fish pond to catch some fish and come back."

"The meat dishes are fish and meat. Just enough to go with the wine. The chicken will catch a big live one and let cousin Zhou Wang take it back when he leaves."

"Either braised in soy sauce or stewed in soup, let him discuss with Xiaohuan on his own, what do you think, aunt?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Wang Cuilian nodded briskly, "Well, that's a good idea, so let's do it. I'll cut the meat first."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Then I'll go catch the fish."

Picking up the fishing rod and bucket, Yang Ruoqing came to the fish pond.

I caught a big catfish weighing nearly three catties. It was wild, and it was the rare kind with two beards.

Then, she also caught more than half a catty of small hairy fish.

Excitedly, he went back to Lao Luo's house, slaughtered the catfish, and then cooked it with spicy peppers.

The hairy fish is mixed with wheat flour, and two eggs are beaten into it, and fried in a pan, it is fragrant and crispy.

Made wine, cooked rice, and stewed egg custard for the two children.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly cooked lunch, and went to call Tuobaxian and the two children over.

The table was opened, and everyone gathered around the table to have a beautiful meal.

"Uncle, I've eaten this meal, I should go back, Xiaohuan and the child are worried at home."

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Zhou Wang got up to say goodbye.

Blacksmith Luo wanted to keep his nephew to talk more, but considering his nephew's daughter-in-law and little Mao Mao, Blacksmith Luo suppressed the words to keep him in his stomach.

"Okay, okay, it's better if you go earlier."

He said, and then called to Wang Cuilian who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, "Cuilian, Wang'er is going back, where are the things?"

"Come on, come on!"

Wang Cuilian hurried over, holding a big hen with bound feet and wings in one hand, and a snakeskin bag in the other.

The snakeskin bag contained half a bag of things, and the mouth was tied with straw.

"Wang'er, there is nothing good. This is the newly harvested rice this year. The rice your uncle pounded himself is very clean."

"You take it back and make rice soup for Xiaohuan and Wa'er, it will be nourishing." Wang Cuilian said.

Zhou Wang waved his hands again and again, "No, no, last time when Xiaohuan gave birth to a baby, uncle and aunt went over to give the Jiuchao gift, and there was still half of the rice that you brought with you!"

"Last time it was early rice, this is late rice, you take both." Blacksmith Luo said.

He walked over and handed the rice bag and the old hen to Zhou Wang.

"The child is young, Xiaohuan has to concentrate on raising the baby, and you can't go to the pier in the county town to unload goods. In the past six months, you will do some part-time work outside the house, and your income will definitely not be good."

"You take this rice with you. It won't be enough later, so come and get it later."

"When the child is older and you go out to do things, I won't give you rice. Take it, go back quickly, don't dawdle." Blacksmith Luo pushed Zhou Wang to the door.

Zhou Wang didn't know what to do. He glanced at the heavy thing in his hand and was so moved that he couldn't say a word.

Yang Ruoqing also came over, holding a bundle in her hand.

"Brother Zhou Wang, I picked up some clothes and diapers from the baby's childhood. Don't dislike them, and take them back with you."

"When the door is closed due to rain and snow in the second half of the year, I can't change clothes and diapers, so I can make do with these anyway," she said.

Seeing the bundle that Yang Ruoqing was holding, Zhou Wang's eyes lit up.

He hurriedly put down the rice bag and chicken in his hand, and went forward to take the bundle with both hands.

"Brother Qing'er, to be honest, Xiaohuan told me this before coming here, let me see if I can ask you for some baby's diapers."

"The diapers at home are really not enough. It rained two days ago, and the diapers couldn't be dried after washing. These days, I used a bag to wrap the stove bottom ash and put it under the baby's buttocks." Zhou Wang said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Little baby's skin is delicate, the ash is always afraid of leaking out, and if it gets hot on the baby's little butt, it's better to use this diaper."

Zhou Wang nodded again and again, holding the bundle with both hands like a treasure.

After seeing off Zhou Wang, Yang Ruoqing went back to the kitchen to help Wang Cuilian clean up the dishes.

Blacksmith Luo also came in.

"Qing'er, you gave Zhou Wang the baby's clothes and diapers. This is really a timely gift." The man said.

There was a deep expression of gratitude on his face.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Blacksmith Luo and smiled.

"Uncle, those things are not useful to me, they are just for collection."

"But for Xiaohuan and the others, they are the most in need. I'd be happy to help them," she said.

Blacksmith Luo nodded again and again: "Qing'er, our old Luo family can have a daughter-in-law like you, it's really because of the virtues accumulated by our ancestors."

Such a lofty evaluation...Yang Ruoqing felt a little embarrassed.

"Qing'er, you gave Zhou Wang all those diapers and small clothes. Then when you have a baby, wouldn't it be enough?" Wang Cuilian asked.

Yang Ruoqing's face turned even redder when she mentioned the reborn baby.

"Auntie, at present, Tang Yazi and I have no plans in this regard, let's wait for a while." She said.

Chen'er has always been a knot in my heart.

The child has not been found for a day, so I really can't bring up the idea of ​​rebirth.

Blacksmith Luo glanced at Yang Ruoqing and guessed what she was worrying about, so he scolded Wang Cuilian: "Just worry about it, and then you can just buy it again, don't keep thinking about it. Looking ahead, there is still a long way to go, everything will be fine!"

He clearly reprimanded Wang Cuilian, but he actually said it to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing is not stupid, how could she not hear the comfort and encouragement in Luo Tiejiang's words?

"Okay, let's not talk about this," she smiled and looked up.

"Uncle, what is Cousin Zhou Wang doing now?" She asked again.

Blacksmith Luo said: "Before Xiaohuan gave birth to a baby, he went to the pier in the county town to unload goods..."

"Isn't that the job my third brother used to do?" Yang Ruoqing said.

Blacksmith Luo nodded: "Yes, it's that errand. After about two or three months, I earned two or three taels of silver."

"After Xiaohuan gave birth to a baby, there was no one around to take care of confinement, so he came back."

"Didn't he catch up with the double robbery some time ago, he helped the big family nearby harvest, earn a little money, leave early and return late, and can also take care of Xiaohuan and children at home."

"As for this period of time, there should be nothing to do. If anyone builds a house or has any small jobs, just do it."
