"Xiaohua, Xiaoduo, you two don't have to do any work today, just take care of the children at home. Don't let them fight or climb the courtyard wall, don't let them play in the water or do some dangerous things.

"

"I'm going to help my mother and my aunt with the meals in the backyard." Yang Ruoqing put on the coarse cloth clothes for working and told the two of them while tying an apron on her body.

There must be children in this yard today. There are two in my family, two in Yang Huamei, one in Yang Ruolan, and two in Cao Bamei.

By the way, if Xiao Yaxue and Na Risong come over, there will be one more child.

Wow, after all, there are eight children. It’s so lively.

Xiaohua and Xiaoduo nodded in unison: "Sister, don't worry, we will keep a close eye on you."

Yang Ruoqing was then satisfied and went to the backyard to help cook.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened when she saw the ingredients prepared by Sun in the backyard kitchen.

"Mom, did you ask my father to move the tile market from Qingshui Town to my house? My God, there are so many dishes, it makes my eyes dazzled!" Yang Ruoqing said in surprise.

Leeks, radish, cabbage, bean sprouts, eggs, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, home-made tofu and dried fragrant seeds, dried soy sauce, dried stinky dried eggs, dried eggs, salted duck eggs, pork belly...

In addition, there were fish in the bucket, including a fat-headed fish weighing five or six kilograms. In addition, there were more than a dozen fat and big spicy tench in another bucket.

Da Sun was plucking chicken feathers at the door, Cao Bamei was chopping ducks, and Yang Ruolan was peeling garlic.

"Oh my God, this is not a family banquet. This is just a banquet!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Mrs. Sun also smiled and said: "Several families are eating together, so we must prepare more dishes, otherwise it will be unsatisfactory if there is not enough food."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "That's true, but I think the final dish today should be the sweet sesame glutinous rice cake made by my fifth aunt."

Speaking of fifth aunt Bao Suyun, Yang Ruoqing suddenly remembered that she was not there in the kitchen.

When I came from the main room in the front yard, Uncle Wu seemed to be nowhere to be seen among the men talking in the main room.

"Where are my fifth uncle and fifth aunt? Could it be that I came back too late yesterday and am lying in bed today?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Sun said: "I don't know!"

Cao Bamei said: "Yongzhi, I and our two children returned to the village this morning. As soon as the things were put back into the house, we hurried over here without even going to the backyard to see. We didn't know who the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt were.

Not sleeping in."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing asked Sun again: "Mom, my fifth uncle didn't come over to talk to my father last night?"

Sun shook his head.

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, this is wrong. If you come back at night, no matter how tired you are, unless it is the middle of the night, your fifth uncle will come over and say a few words to your father.

Moreover, it was already three o'clock in the day, and the fifth aunt must have brought the children here to help, because she had long considered Yang Huazhong and Sun's place as her natal home. The restaurant was on holiday during the Double Ninth Festival and she was going back to her natal home!

"Have you not come back yet?" Yang Ruoqing asked, "Or maybe something happened to hold you back during the Double Ninth Festival this year and you won't come back?"

Cao Bamei shook her head, "Impossible. A few days ago, Yongzhi went to Qing'an County to purchase a batch of ingredients, and even had a meal with his fifth uncle. His fifth uncle said that the whole family would come back to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. After the festival,

, so I left my fifth aunt and my mother and I at home. When the weather gets cold in the second half of the year, we won’t take them to the county, but stay at home in a comfortable home for the winter.”

Yang Ruoqing said: "Maybe it's on the way."

Even though she said this, Yang Ruoqing still felt that something was wrong.

It takes seven or eight hours to travel by carriage from the county to Changping Village, which is equivalent to fifteen or sixteen hours.

From past experience, Uncle Wu and the others would set out yesterday morning and arrive home in the evening.

Go home and have a good sleep, and celebrate this holiday in good spirits.

What happened this time?

"Qing'er, my fifth uncle is now traveling all over the country and taking care of business in Qing'an County. He must have his own arrangements, so don't worry." Cao Bamei said.

"Come on, let's continue cooking. It's a holiday today."

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses, nodded, and joined the busy team.

I hope Uncle Wu and the others have a smooth trip and get home soon!

When the hot and fragrant food was placed on the table, everyone's eyes were fixed.

It’s full of color, flavor and aroma, and it’s simply more abundant than the Chinese New Year.

The eight children cheered together, and all of them were so anxious that they wanted to eat this and that. The whole hall was really lively!

Then the adults in each family prepared food for their children, put it in their small bowls, and asked them to take it to the small table next to them to eat.

Only the adults here can sit down and eat their own food.

Luo Baobao is a carnivorous baby and likes to eat meat. Luo Fengtang prepared vegetables and meatballs for her to mix with rice.

Yang Ruoqing scooped a bowl of soybean and old duck soup for Da Zhi. Da Zhi had just recovered from his illness, and the old duck soup was suitable for him because it clears the heart and nourishes the lungs.

"Qing'er, why aren't your fifth uncle and fifth aunt home yet?" Yang Huazhong also came over to ask Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing shrugged, "I don't know the situation either. Tang Yazi and I have been staying with Dazhi at the hospital these past few days and have never contacted Uncle Wu or the others."

Luo Fengtang said: "Could it be that the car broke down halfway? How about I pick it up?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Qing'an County is so far away from our Changping Village, and you don't know where to pick her up. Even if you want to pick her up, you have to eat first."

Yang Huazhong said: "Yes, yes, let's eat first, have dinner and then wait. If you don't come back, I'll pick him up with you!"

Yang Ruoqing left food for Yang Huazhou and the others, then sat down and began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner of farm food, drink osmanthus wine, and chat about home affairs. The atmosphere was very lively.

After lunch, everyone dispersed, leaving Mr. Yang, Mr. and Mrs. Yang, and Yang Yongjin here drinking tea and talking.

Until the sun turned to the west, Yang Huazhou and the others did not come back.

Yang Huazhong and the others could no longer sit still.

"There's something wrong. Even if we set off this morning, we should be here by now. No, I have to pick it up!" The man pulled away and stood up.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Yongjin also stood up together, "Let's go together."

Old Yangtou said: "Well, you three can go pick it up, but you have two children with you, which is really worrying!"

Mrs. Tan curled her lips and said, "That Dabao is not of the flesh and blood of our old Yang family. Why are you so worried?"

Old Yangtou glared at Mrs. Tan angrily, "You old woman, you ate too much at noon and your head was broken, right? You can say such a thing?"

Tan said: "What did I say? That Dabao is not our fifth child's flesh and blood. It was Bao Suyun who brought him from her mother's family..."

"Shut up!"
