In this era of rural areas, both material and spiritual life were scarce.

For villagers, it is undoubtedly a very grand event to prepare a meal for two or three tables to entertain relatives and friends.

From Sun, Yang Ruoqing learned that before dawn, her father Yang Huazhong drove a carriage to Qingshui Town, thirty miles away, to purchase ingredients.

Five or six kilograms of pork belly with skin, three or four kilograms of ribs, and a whole set of pig belly.

There are snakeheaded fish and crucian carp raised in water in the wooden barrel, and a few pairs of lively pigeons...

In addition, I also went to the pastry shop and dry goods shop and bought a bunch of snacks for the children.

This morning, all the women came over to help, and the kitchen area was very lively.

In the main room in the front yard, men also came over one after another.

"Mom, this basket of vegetables has been washed. I'll put it here for you first." Yang Ruoqing took off the apron from her waist and put it aside.

"I'll go back first and call Tang Yazi over," she said.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Okay."

On the side, Mrs. Liu said: "Qing'er, there's no need to shout. I just went to the front yard to grab melon seeds to eat, and saw Tang Yazi coming over."

"Ah? He's already here?"

"Yes, I'm just talking with your father and your two uncles," Mrs. Liu said while eating melon seeds.

"I heard you say that he has lost his memory. I even went to him to strike up a conversation. Hey, he really didn't recognize me. His silly look was quite interesting..."

"You're stupid, you're so stupid!" Yang Ruoqing choked Mrs. Liu directly.

Mrs. Liu was startled for a moment, then laughed along with her: "Oh, Fourth Aunt, I don't mean any harm. I just said it as a catchphrase."

Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to people like Liu, and went straight to the front yard.

In the front yard, almost all the men are here, Lao Yangtou, Lao Suntou, Blacksmith Luo, Wang Hongquan...

Yang Huazhong accompanied them as he said this, cracking melon seeds and smoking dry cigarettes.

Luo Fengtang sat aside and listened to the elders with a smile.

When he found that the tea bowl in front of an elder was empty of tea, he got up and went to refill the cup for him.

When others spoke to him, he responded patiently, with a sincere and friendly smile always on his face.

How do you see this, how flexible and kind it is.

Mrs. Liu was either blind or farting. Yang Ruoqing reprimanded Mrs. Liu in her heart again and came over with a smile to say hello to Old Yang and other elders.

"Qing'er, I was just teasing the baby and asked Grandpa to give him a hug. Haha, the little thing is still hiding!"

Old Yangtou said to Yang Ruoqing with a smile.

After not seeing him for a month, the old man's face was glowing and he was in good spirits, as if he had emerged from the shadow of Yang Hualin's death.

Hey, this time is really a good medicine to cure everything. In other words, Lao Yangtou is more resistant to stress than ordinary people.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "She's not familiar with you yet, but once we are, everyone will hug her."

Old Yangtou smiled and nodded.

Yang Ruoqing looked around: "Master, where is my milk? Why don't I see her?"

Old Yangtou said: "Oh, your mother is helping your third sister-in-law feed the child there. They will come over later."

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Old Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and said to Yang Ruoqing with excitement: "Qing'er, you don't know about your third brother's return, do you?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "I understand, Sister Lan'er told me this before."

Old Yang nodded repeatedly: "That's all. Hello Qing'er, our old Yang family really has a fourth-generation grandson this time. The eldest brother, your uncle, is married again and has a child.

a ha ha ha……"

Yang Ruoqing instantly understood why Old Yang's head looked so red.

It turned out that it was because the third brother and the others gave birth to a son.

"The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, and I can't tell the difference between son and daughter." Yang Ruoqing said directly.

After saying this, she did not laugh with Old Yang, but turned to say hello to Luo Fengtang, and then went to the yard at the door to see Baby Luo.

Old Yangtou originally wanted to tell Yang Ruoqing more about how lovable his great-grandson was.

But he only saw Yang Ruoqing throwing his back, and the old man looked a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Old Sun Tou and Blacksmith Luo who were nearby had good eyesight and quickly used other topics to distract from the awkwardness.

In the yard, Baby Luo was being held by Xiaohua and Xiaoduo in turns, watching the other little brothers and sisters playing.

The older children had a great time, and the younger ones were also excited to see it.

From time to time, she would twist into a ball with laughter in Xiaohua's arms, with traces of crystal saliva dripping from her mouth, and the small triangular handkerchief around her chest would become wet.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but smile, changed her into a new one, and touched the diaper held under her crotch.

Well, I haven't peeed yet, so I can hold on for a while longer.

"Qing'er, don't worry about working in the backyard. We're here to watch. Nothing will happen."

Yang Huamei also walked over with Xiao Hei in her arms, smiling at Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, and just as she was about to say something, another group of people came in at the door of the courtyard.

The leader is Tan, and the tall and thin young man supporting Tan is his third cousin Yang Yongzhi, isn't he?

Yang Ruoqing narrowed her eyes and immediately saw the young woman following Yang Yongzhi and Tan.

He is fresh-faced and handsome, with fair complexion and a conspicuous black mole on the corner of his thin mouth.

Holding a child with a carrot bag in his arms, he followed him into the yard. He looked a bit timid at first glance with his low eyebrows.

"Aunt, is that the third sister-in-law?"

Yang Ruoqing asked Yang Huamei.

Yang Huamei raised her head and glanced over there, her eyes brightening.

"Have you heard about it too? Hehe, our old Yang family is busy again now," Yang Huamei said.

"Your third sister-in-law is called Chen Jinhong. She was born in the same year as me. She is also eighteen years old this year."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, that means she is two years older than herself.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go over and say hello to them."

"I'll go with you."

Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huamei walked towards Tan's side together, and in the main room, Yang Huazhong and others came out when they heard the noise outside.

"Mistress, third brother, third sister-in-law."

Yang Ruoqing greeted them one by one.

Tan was also in a good mood, with a faint smile on her face when she responded to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Yongqing stood aside to support Tan, and also smiled and nodded to Yang Ruoqing: "Sister Qing'er, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "That's true."

Among all the people in Lao Yang's family, the one with the least impression and presence is this third cousin.

Ever since Yang Ruoqing traveled through time, he has been staying at his master's house in a neighboring town.

I only came back for a tour during the holidays, and left after staying for less than two nights. I had almost no interaction with these cousins.

The last time I saw my third cousin was at the funeral of my uncle who passed away last year.
