Splendid peasant girl busy farming

4232 - A silly daughter-in-law
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the ribs and quail eggs prepared beside her, "This year, the ribs will not be cooked with fried tofu, but I plan to cook them with quail eggs."

Wang Cuilian nodded again and again: "Success, then this year's New Year's Eve dinner, our family has made a lot of innovations! Your uncle also said that we don't use grass carp braised in brown sauce, but use yellow spicy diced to cook hot pot."

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "They are all similar ingredients, and the taste should be different if you change the cooking method. As long as our family is together, no matter what you eat, it will be delicious."

The big guys went on to prepare the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. Those that should be cleaned should be cleaned, those that should be marinated should be marinated, those that should be stewed should be stewed, and those that should be marinated should be marinated.

Now, I have to fish out the red eggs that are boiling in the pot, and let the whole family eat two eggs to fill their stomachs.

Yang Ruoqing first came to the door of Luo Baobao's room with the red eggs, and knocked on the door several times before the girl opened the door.

"Mother, look, I've put on new clothes, don't they look good?" Luo Baobao asked Yang Ruoqing excitedly.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Raise your arms, turn around in two circles and I'll take a look."

Luo Baobao raised his hands and twirled twice on the spot, and the pink thick pomegranate skirt bloomed under him, like a delicate pomegranate flower.

Coupled with Luo Baobao's bright smile, it really shines.

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly: "It's pretty, it's so pretty, my daughter looks great in this dress!"

"Hey, I think it's pretty too!" Luo Baobao said.

Yang Ruoqing came forward to help her smooth out some small creases on her back, muttering in her mouth: "I wish my daughter good health and safety in wearing clothes, and all wishes come true!"

Luo Baobao said coquettishly: "Oh my mother, you are here again, and you have to say such things every year when you wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year."

Yang Ruoqing just looked at her and smiled.

Luo Baobao said: "Then I'll wear it to the front yard and let my father and elder brother take a look."

After all, the little girl was about to run, but was stopped by Yang Ruoqing.

"Come on, let's eat an egg first." She handed over a red egg.

"No, I want to save my stomach for the New Year's Eve dinner." Luo Baobao resisted, turned around and ran away.

Looking at the back of her running away, Yang Ruoqing smiled helplessly, there is really nothing to do with her now!

If she doesn't eat, the most important thing at home now is food. When she gets hungry, she will naturally go find some snacks.

Yang Ruoqing followed with the eggs, looking for Chen'er and the others.

When the sun was about to set, Blacksmith Luo and the others came to the backyard to take offerings and drinks, and were about to go to the Earth Temple at the south end of the village to burn incense.

The Land God is enshrined in the Temple of the Earth, which is what the people in the Mianniu Mountain area call it. In official language, this is the Temple of the Town God, and the Lord of the Earth is the Lord of the City God.

Master Chenghuang's job, if interpreted with modern words that Yang Ruoqing is familiar with, is nothing more than the Public Security Bureau in this area.

It is in charge of the birth, old age, sickness and death of the living beings in this area. Whenever a living being dies, the first stop for the soul to arrive is the Town God's Temple.

It is equivalent to the birth of a new human life, and it will go to the local public security bureau to register and register as a household for management.

Therefore, the Earth Temple is very sacred in the hearts of the big guys, and the big guys will come here to burn incense and kowtow every year and festival.

So this new year is no exception.

From the west of the sun to the sunset of the mountain, the sound of firecrackers at the Earth Temple has never stopped. The crackling and crackling made people's eardrums swell. Looking from a distance, there was a thick smoke.

But at this time in the backyard, Yang Ruoqing and the others were more relaxed.

Because the New Year's Eve dinner is almost done, now we can serve the New Year's Eve dinner after they finish burning the incense and come back!

At this moment, Xiaoduo came over, which surprised Yang Ruoqing a little.

Because of this time point, most people will not come to visit.

"Duo'er, is there something wrong? To tell you the truth, I feel a little flustered seeing you coming to visit me at this hour." Yang Ruoqing teased.

Xiaoduo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said: "Sister, don't panic, it's nothing, I'm here to tell you, little cousin Yongqing is back, and brought back a daughter-in-law!"

"Earlier, my fourth aunt came all the way to our house to ask my mother to borrow soy sauce, and I heard her say it herself. This borrowing of soy sauce is a cover, and gossip is the truth!" Xiaoduo said excitedly.

Yang Ruoqing was also surprised by the news.

"Little cousin Yongqing hasn't come home all this time? I saw him last time on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month!" she said.

"He came back when he found some time, and he never made a trip. No one knows when he was at home and when he suddenly ran out again." Xiaoduo continued.

"But this time, he really brought a woman back, and brought her directly to the backyard to meet his grandma. Everyone said that she was his wife."

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help it anymore, "What kind of woman is that? Could it be another one like Yu Jingui who eats him to death?"

Xiaoduo said: "I haven't seen it in person, but I heard from my fourth aunt that the woman looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looks upright, but it seems that she is not very smart."

"Not so good at thinking? Could it be that my little cousin brought a fool back to be his wife?" Yang Ruoqing asked in surprise.

"Fourth aunt said that no matter who spoke, she just grinned stupidly and said something indistinctly, as if she had something in her mouth." Xiaoduo said.

Yang Ruoqing was speechless, and said after a while: "No one can understand my little cousin's thinking, he is just a big weirdo."

"However, grandma probably won't agree, right? The reason is unknown!" she said again.

Xiaoduo said: "Then I definitely won't agree, but now my little cousin tells everyone that she is his daughter-in-law. It is estimated that most people in the village will know soon."

"Isn't our grandma the best face? This has been spread all over the place, and I can't blame it if I want to, and I can't hide it if I want to!" Xiaoduo said again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "They used to be good-faced, but the big and small things that happened to our old Yang's family these years, things that smeared, things that shamed, happened one after another, and now our grandma's face has been tempered! "

Xiaoduo nodded: "That's true."

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, Xiaoduo stood up and said: "It's probably brother-in-law who came back from burning incense, and I should go back too, I should be anxious if my mother can't find me later."

"It's time for you to go back. You're still going out to gossip at this moment, you're not much different from Fourth Aunt!" Yang Ruoqing joked, she also stood up and sent Xiaoduo to the door.

Just happened to meet Luo Fengtang and Luo Tiejiang and the others face to face, the two sides greeted briefly, and Xiaoduo left.

When they went back to the room to wash their hands, Luo Fengtang said to Yang Ruoqing, "Auntie Xiaoduo is here, is there something wrong with your mother-in-law?"

Yang Ruoqing handed him the soap, and smiled: "My natal family is fine, my little cousin brought a daughter-in-law back from outside, I don't know exactly what it looks like, but I will see it later at night."
