Chapter 3938 Cousin cardamom
"Qing'er, can I ask you a question?" Mu Zichuan asked again suddenly.

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "As long as you can answer, you can ask."

Mu Zichuan's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and formed the words in his mind, "Qing'er, I mean if, what if,"

"If I hadn't been the scholar who couldn't even carry a bucket of water, if I hadn't said that kind of "gentleman stays away from the kitchen" pretentious, if I had been like Feng Tang, I would do all the dirty work. I'm rushing you to do it for you, without any disgust, do you think you will also change your mind and resume the engagement with me?"

Yang Ruoqing was concentrating on treating his wound, when she suddenly heard his question, she stood up straight and withdrew her hand.

"I'm dizzy, Fengtang child and I are both nine years old, why do you still ask such childish questions? What if, where are there so many what ifs in this world?" She couldn't understand whether to laugh or cry.

"Qing'er, just answer me and satisfy my curiosity, okay?" Mu Zichuan sat up straight, his eyes tinged with anxiety.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, and said simply: "Sorry, I can't answer this question, so I can't satisfy your curiosity."

She has never made these assumptions. She behaves and does things, and she only walks with her own heart, and her heart will guide her to make the most correct choice.

"Qing'er, just because my hand is burned, and now the poor one can't even hold a pen, please express your sympathy and answer me?" Mu Zichuan begged again, and raised his hand and waved it lightly. put.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, "Mu Zichuan, please understand the fact that I am helping you like this now because we are brothers and sisters, so I didn't hide anything, and my Tang Yazi didn't stop me." What."

"I regard you as a righteous brother so much, and my Tang Yazi also trusts you so much. Don't make the mistake of asking these embarrassing questions, okay?"

Mu Zichuan's face flushed immediately, and he sat there feeling ashamed.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want to embarrass him too much, so she changed the subject and said: "You, you are almost thirty, so you can't fulfill your godmother's wish, don't care about tall, short, fat and thin, and marry a woman to come in?"

"Look at the situation today. If you have a daughter-in-law by your side, the two of you will be able to take better care of your godmother if you work together."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's urging to get married, Mu Zichuan frowned, looked up at her and said, "There are some things that cannot be settled."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Brother Yi, you keep saying that you want to be a filial son, but if I say something harsh, what you are a filial son is really unqualified."

"Half of the godmother's illness is caused by worrying about your life's major events. Let me say something unlucky. Her illness may not survive the Chinese New Year. You can't do it in her last days. The one thing that reassures her the most?"

"You know exactly what worries her the most!" she said.

Mu Zichuan stopped talking and sat there stiffly with an ugly expression on his face.

Yang Ruoqing cleaned up the medicine bottle on the table, and said: "Leave this medicine with you, and apply it again when you sleep at night. Don't soak it in water all day today."

"As for the food, I'll go home and cook it before sending it over. The stove in your house is temporarily unusable, let's let it dry for a day!"

After saying this, she turned and left Mu Zichuan's room.

Yang Ruoqing originally thought that it would be enough to bring food for two at noon, but unexpectedly, there was a table of food at home.

Why?

Because Mu Zichuan's two uncles, two aunts, and his uncle's cousins ​​all came to visit his aunt.

It must be unrealistic to send meals to Mu's house, how many times do you have to send them back and forth in food boxes?
She simply set up a table at home as a daughter-in-law, and asked Mu Zichuan to bring his uncle's family over for dinner when it was time to eat.

The members of his uncle's family naturally knew the identities of Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, and they heard that the general's wife cooked a meal and entertained them personally. They were all flattered, and there was an endless stream of words of thanks and compliments.

Yang Ruoqing actually doesn't like this very much. In the village, her identity is very simple, and those names are only used outside where they should be used.

"Zi Chuan, why is there one person missing?"

Asking Blacksmith Luo to accompany Mu Zichuan's two uncles to drink, Yang Ruoqing lightly touched Mu Zichuan's arm while delivering the food to the table.

Mu Zichuan understood, so he left the table with an excuse and followed her to the backyard.

"Qing'er, what's the matter?" He asked.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, she seemed to be very pleased with her little gesture, and there was a kind of silent intimacy and tacit understanding in a trance.

Yang Ruoqing looked away from the front yard and asked him, "Didn't you say that six people came to eat? Why did five people come?"

Mu Zichuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Cousin Cardamom didn't come, she asked me to bring my uncles and aunts over for dinner first, and she stayed with my mother to accompany my mother, and I will give it to her after the meal is finished later." Just bring one."

"Doukou?" Yang Ruoqing smiled, "Liu Doukou? That's a pretty good name. Just hearing it makes people think of a young and bright girl!"

Mu Zichuan also smiled, "Really? I'm ashamed to say that I gave this name to my cousin."

"You took it? Then how old is your cousin? Did you take it when she was born, or did you change her name when she grew up?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.

When giving birth to a baby in this farmer's family, many parents don't know half of the big characters.

So they give the baby a random name for errands, and in order to support them, the male baby is a cat or a dog or something, and the female baby is a flower.

Or some families don't know how to name themselves, but they don't want to accept those vulgar names, so they will take some gifts to ask the gentleman who can read in the village, or some people with high morals to help them choose a name.

Names like Mu Zichuan and Luo Fengtang are said to have been given by a few respected elders in Changping Village at that time.

And the names of these grandchildren of Lao Yang's family were all thought up by Lao Yang, who knew some characters himself.

Alright, let's get down to business and listen to Mu Zichuan's explanation.

He smiled and said, "I remember that I was admitted as a scholar when I was 15 years old, and my aunt gave birth to a cousin that year."

"My uncle came to my house and asked me to help name my cousin. I gave her several names and asked them to go back and pick one. My uncle and the others chose the name Cardamom."

"Wow~" Yang Ruoqing sighed, "then they probably wanted to please you as a scholar, so they asked you to name your cousin. Right?"

mu Zichuan nodded.

He put his hands behind his back and straightened his chest and said, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, 15 years have passed. I am no longer the youthful young man I was back then. I have reached my thirties."

"And the little cousin who was crying at the beginning has also grown into a slim cardamom girl. This time is really like an arrow!"
