Splendid peasant girl busy farming

4324 - Hungry flat

"Did the eldest girl and the second girl come back this first month to pay New Year's greetings?" Yang Ruoqing asked Xu Mang's daughter-in-law again.

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law said: "I'm back, the three sisters brought my uncle and the child back to celebrate the new year together on the first month of the first month."

"Why don't you see Miss San?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law said: "It is said that Ga Po's house is singing a big show, and the third girl has passed on the sixth day of the lunar new year. I guess she will come back after the Lantern Festival. I will let her stay there to accompany her Ga Po."

Then Xu Mang's wife asked Yang Ruoqing about Chen'er and Dazhi, and asked Blacksmith Luo about their physical condition.

This is the content of walking and chatting among relatives and friends in the first month, talking about children, the elderly, harvest, business, and the body, from generation to generation, and never get tired of it.

Over there, Xu Mang said to her daughter-in-law: "You can chat with Qing'er in the afternoon, it's time to cook lunch, Fengtang and Qing'er came from Huguang County, and they are still hungry !"

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law quickly stood up: "Qing'er, I'm going to cook, you guys drink tea first."

Yang Ruoqing also stood up, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you."

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law shook her head like something, "I can't do it, you're coming back to our house for the first time in the new year, how can I ask you to go to the kitchen! You can't do it!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's okay, we don't care about those."

She is really hungry now, and she wants to eat something quickly. If Xu Mang's wife is allowed to go to the kitchen alone, and the third girl is not at home, Xu Mang's daughter-in-law cooks and cooks, and the chicken, duck and fish will be eaten. After doing it again, it is estimated that there will be no hour when you will not be able to eat.

And one hour is a full two hours, I'm going to be hungry!
"Brother Xu Mang, Tang Yazi, it's settled, I'll help my sister-in-law cook!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Xu Mang also wanted to dissuade him, but Luo Fengtang saw Yang Ruoqing's intentions.

"Okay, Qing'er, go ahead, give me a hand sooner, to tell you the truth, I'm really hungry, so you guys don't make too many dishes later, just get two that can eat!"

"What's the matter? You're coming back to our house for the first time in the new year..." Xu Mang's daughter-in-law still stood where she was, with a troubled expression on her face.

Xu Mang said: "Don't be stunned, since this is the case, then let's be more casual, you can cook noodles for us, and then fry bacon for me and Fengtang to go with the wine."

"Wait until night, and then prepare a table of dishes to entertain the couple!"

Xu Mang is the backbone of his wife, upon hearing this, the woman nodded quickly.

"Qing'er, since it's cooking noodles, I can finish it quickly by myself, so don't get your clothes dirty, just sit down and the noodles will be ready in a while!"

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law pushed Yang Ruoqing back on the stool and sat down, then ran to the stove by herself.

Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to sit down again, continue to drink tea, eat melon seeds, and listen to the two men chatting.

The chat between the sky and the earth was not only about the current situation, but also gossip. In the end, the two of them turned the topic back to the hunting that they were most interested in.

Xu Mang said: "During the twelfth lunar month, I went hunting with some friends in the mountains west of Wanghai County. I caught a roe deer. I took a roe deer leg back and waxed it. I couldn't bear to let my two sons-in-law come to pay New Year's greetings." Take it out and eat."

"Let your sister-in-law take it out to cut some big pieces of meat tonight, and my brother will make a few cups of wine!"

Luo Fengtang responded with a smile.

After a while, Xu Mang's daughter-in-law came to the main room, "The noodles are ready, haven't the two children come back yet?"

Only then did Yang Ruoqing realize that the two little guys hadn't come back after going out for a long time, so she put down the tea bowl in her hand and got up and walked towards the door of the main room, "I'll look for it."

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law also came along, and when she reached the gate of the courtyard, she shouted towards both ends of the alley.

It was her boy's name that was called.

This woman, who looked gentle and gentle, had a loud voice when she yelled her son to go home for dinner, full of spirit!

However, after yelling several times, there was no response from the child.

"This brat, did he take the baby there to play? He ran so far, and I won't ask his father to take care of him when he comes back later!" Xu Mang's daughter-in-law was a little anxious, muttering alone.

Yang Ruoqing said: "The children are very playful, maybe they ran to a nearby alley to play. It's okay, let's go over there and look for it."

As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the alley, they saw two children running towards this side hand in hand, turning their heads to look behind while running, both nervous and excited.

"What are you doing?" Yang Ruoqing called out to them.

When the two children saw Yang Ruoqing and Xu Mang's wife, they hurried to them.

"Mother, we didn't run for anything, are we going to eat? Let's go back to eat!" Luo Baobao took Yang Ruoqing's hand and said out of breath.

Yang Ruoqing looked at her suspiciously, "Did you do something bad?"

"No, how is it possible? If you don't believe me, you can ask my brother!" Luo Baobao said, and winked at the Xu family boy.

The Xu family boy also puffed up his chest and said to Yang Ruoqing, "We didn't cause trouble, we did what we should do."

"Then what did you guys do?" Xu Mang's daughter-in-law also asked curiously.

The two children shook their heads together, "This is our secret, we can't tell it."

Yang Ruoqing and Xu Mang's daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, "It's so mysterious what they can do!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"That's all, don't ask. If it's a good thing, you don't need to ask it. If it's a disaster, you'll have to reveal it sooner or later. Then it's time to settle the debt with interest. Let's go back to dinner!" Yang Ruoqing touched it with a smile Luo Baobao's head, the four of them walked towards Xu's house together.

The hot and delicious lunch has been brought to the table.

Four adults and two children, each with a bowl of noodles with meatballs.

In the middle of the table was a bowl of fried bacon with red chili peppers, a bowl of fried Chinese cabbage, a bowl of soy sauce made by Xu Mang’s wife, and a plate of freshly washed coriander, which was used for dipping noodles .

"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good, I feel hungry just by smelling the scent!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law also smiled and said: "It's a hurry at noon, so I can only let it go like this first, let's make do with it!"

"If such a sumptuous meal is called making do with it, then there will be no more delicious meals in this world." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"There are meatballs hidden in the top and bottom of the bowl. It is said to be noodles with meatballs, but the whole bowl is full of meatballs." Yang Ruoqing said again.

Xu Mang's daughter-in-law laughed and raised her chopsticks to greet them: "Eat while it's hot, you'll be full."

Without any suspense, Yang Ruoqing ate the whole bowl of noodles with meatballs to the bottom. After eating and drinking, she felt really good!
