Chapter 4592 Strange old brothers of the Xiang family

"Mother, what is a domestic snake? Are there any differences between domesticated and wild snakes?" Luo Baobao asked puzzled.

Yang Ruoqing came to Luo Baobao's side, stroked her little head with a smile, and said, "Of course it's not raised at home, but we have a tradition in our area, thinking that the snake that appeared inexplicably in this home is a snake. 'The treasure of the town house', so we cannot expel it."

"Besides, like the snake before, it looks non-poisonous at first glance. It's good for us to keep it. It can eat bugs and mice. It's a good thing to protect our granary!"

Luo Baobao successfully accepted Yang Ruoqing's explanation.

"Okay, then let it go, I will go catch fireflies!"

Luo Baobao happily went to the Chaoshou verandah in front, whistled, and the Teddy dog ​​who had been with her day and night gave up barking at the corner, turned around and shook its short tufted tail. Keeping up with Baby Luo...

Yang Ruoqing turned her eyes away from the corner, and said to Luo Fengtang: "The snake is gone, let's come back too."

Luo Fengtang nodded, took her hand and sat back on the side of the cool bed, continuing to enjoy the cool air.

A cluster of phoenix flowers bloomed on the side of the cool bed, and the small pink flower buds exude a faint fragrance. In this summer night, accompanied by the cicadas and the frogs in the distant paddy fields, it is pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

Such a beautiful day, forget all those long-term considerations, the moon is clear and the wind is clear, tonight, a good sleep with the person you love is happiness!
When the sun rises from the east, a new day begins...

At noon, Yang Ruoqing and Sun Shi Xiaoduo went together to deliver meals to the craftsmen, and saw the cattle dealer and Xiang Shengnan, but they couldn't see Shengnan's father.

Maybe it's something at home, so I can't come here today, right?

Yang Ruoqing was thinking about it at the time, but she didn't think deeply about it.

On the way home, Xiaoduo said to Yang Ruoqing and Sun Shi, "My father-in-law seems to have gone into the mountains and brought Jin Nan with him."

"Into the mountains? Bring Jinnan? To chop firewood or what?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.

Xiaoduo shook her head, "It is said that some relatives in the mountain sent a message, asking them to go there, and left before dawn. Sheng Nan got up this morning and saw that his father and elder brother were not at home, so he asked his mother Arrived."

"Do they have relatives in the mountains? Could it be Sheng Nan's aunt's house?" Sun also asked.

Xiaoduo said: "Shengnan's aunt's house is on the Zhuangzi behind Xiangjiazhuang, not far away, it's at the foot of the mountain, not deep in the mountains."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes, in our concept, the so-called mountains should be like Sishan Col and Sunjiagou. Only such villages can be counted as inside the mountains."

"Does Shengnan's family have relatives in Sishan'ao and Sunjiagou?" Sun asked again.

Xiaoduo shook her head, "Shengnan said no, but he didn't know which village his father and elder brother went to, and his mother couldn't tell either."

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "The cattle dealer must know about the relatives of the Xiang family. Since Sheng Nan's father is not here, the cattle dealer must have told our father about it. We may find out when we come back from work in the evening. gone."

"Qing'er, Duo'er, what should we have for lunch? Should we make do with the leftover food or something?" When they arrived at the door, Sun asked Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo for their opinions.

Hearing Mrs. Sun's words, and seeing Mrs. Sun's face that was so hot that it turned pale, Yang Ruoqing said: "Mother, I can eat anything, why, is it so hot that you have no appetite?"

Mrs. Sun nodded, "It's a bit hot. I don't really want to eat those dry meals. I just want to eat something cold. Soup and water are fine."

Xiaoduo also said: "Sister, I am the same, I just want to eat something soft, not too spicy, it will make my throat feel uncomfortable."

Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm going to make some mung bean soup, Duo'er, you accompany your mother to cool off in a ventilated place in the main room first, and don't come to the stove."

Xiaoduo was also gasping for breath from the heat, she nodded when she heard this, and helped Mrs. Sun into the main room.

In the kitchen in the backyard, Yang Ruoqing first stewed the mung bean soup, and put some Coptis chinensis in it to reduce the fire.

Then, I packed up all the food left earlier, put it in the well, and put it in the well, so that I didn't need to cook it at night.

Considering that Mrs. Sun and Xiaoduo were already hot at noon and wanted something easy to digest, Yang Ruoqing thought about it and planned to make some bowls of noodles with scallion oil.

Shred cucumbers, scoop water for later use, stir-fry minced meat with soybean paste to make meat sauce, peanuts, cowpea foam, fried eggs...

Then pour all these ingredients on top of the cold noodles, put some oil, stir evenly and take it to the main room in the front yard...

When the sun was setting, Yang Huazhong and the others came back from work and talked to Sun and Yang Ruoqing about the Xiang family.

"Brother Xiang himself doesn't know what Sheng Nan's father brought Jin Nan to the mountain for. Their Xiang family has no relatives in the mountain. If Jin Nan's marriage in the past didn't fail, then it is really a family. Real relatives, but those marriages are gone, and there are no more relatives in the mountains."

Hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Sun and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other.

"But Sheng Nan said that his father took his elder brother to visit relatives in the mountains. Sheng Nan heard about it from Sheng Nan's wife. I didn't say which one." Sun said.

Yang Huazhong pondered for a while, and said: "This is a private matter of the Xiang family, so let's not ask about it."

Mrs. Sun nodded, turned around and went to cook dinner.

The next day, Shengnan's father still didn't come over, not only he didn't come over, even the cattle dealer didn't come over.

In the morning, Shengnan came to Yang Huazhong's house alone to help.

"Father-in-law, my uncle and my father took my elder brother into the mountains to visit relatives, and left before dawn. My mother told me when I got up in the morning." Xiang Shengnan said.

"Your uncle said yesterday that your Xiang family has no relatives in the mountains!" Yang Huazhong was also a little surprised.

Xiang Shengnan shook his head, "It's true, I haven't heard from my parents since I was a child, and I haven't been to visit relatives in the mountains, but my mother told me so, I asked, what is she doing?" Don't say anything!"

Not to mention that Xiang Shengnan was confused, Yang Huazhong was also a little surprised, what the hell are the two old brothers of the Xiang family doing?
"Your uncle and your father naturally have their own rules when doing things. Sheng Nan, come over for breakfast." Yang Huazhong greeted.

Xiang Shengnan shook his head: "Father-in-law, I don't want to eat. I ate it at home. You can eat it. I'll go to the Taoist temple first."

After hearing the sound, Mrs. Sun rushed over and stopped Xiang Shengnan: "My family's breakfast is ready, you should eat two steamed buns and it's not too late to leave. Come, come, come in..."

The mother-in-law treats her son-in-law differently from her father-in-law.

Xiang Shengnan hadn't organized the words of polite refusal in his mind, and was dragged into the main room by Mrs. Sun.

Xiaoduo blushed and stood by the table to set the tableware. On the clean table, steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, porridge, and side dishes were all placed on the table.

Xiang Shengnan's scouts who came over in the morning ate noodle soup and got hungry after walking for a while.

Seeing such a sumptuous breakfast at his mother-in-law's family now, he couldn't help swallowing, and let out a growl in his stomach.

Xiaoduo couldn't help but burst out laughing, but naturally she got a blank stare from Mrs. Sun.

Xiaoduo stuck out her tongue, then quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen, while Mrs. Sun pulled Xiang Shengnan to sit down and eat.
