Changping Village, Qingming Festival.

By the time Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian took Luo Baobao and Zuo Jingling back home after burning incense, Tuoba Xian and Xiao Yaxue had already cooked several dishes from Daliao.

The sugar-filled glutinous rice cake made by Tuoba Xian is Luo Baobao’s favorite.

Xiao Yaxue's large pot of pork stewed vermicelli is the best choice for a drinking man like Luo Tiejiang.

The green vegetables and scallions that have been washed several times are placed on a white plate with a dipping sauce prepared by Xiao Yaxue herself. Even if they are eaten raw, they have a different taste.

In addition, Xiao Yaxue also made pancakes and steamed cornmeal buns.

Seeing so many delicious foods, Wang Cuilian was not to be outdone and made a plate of emerald-green Qingming fruit using the wormwood she picked back.

The Qingming fruit is soft and glutinous. When you break it open, there is a filling of sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean paste. Children from both families like it.

"The food during the Qingming Festival this year is really good. It's different from previous years. Almost all the food is sold out."

After having enough wine and food, Blacksmith Luo touched his belly and said with a smile.

Wang Cuilian and Na Ri Song asked about Luo Fengtang, Yang Ruoqing and the others, "We have been gone for almost half a year. Letters from home come every month, but they never say when they will be free to come home. Brother Na Ri Song

, do you have any news about them?"

That day Risong smiled and said: "Auntie, the news I have here is similar to the news you have. Fengtang and the others are busy with big things in the capital, and they will definitely not be able to come back in the short term."

Wang Cuilian was a little disappointed, "I don't know how they eat outside, and I don't know if I can eat Qingming fruit this Qingming Festival."

Xiao Yaxue covered her mouth and smiled: "Auntie, you are really worried. They are working for the Emperor of Daqi in the capital. How could the Emperor of Daqi treat them badly? Of course they are well-dressed, well-fed, and served with delicious food.

ah!"

Blacksmith Luo also nodded repeatedly: "It doesn't matter where you live, as long as you have money on hand, it will be a good life."

After some persuasion, everyone dispersed.

At the same time, all the old Yang family gathered at Yang Huazhong's house for lunch. There was a table for men, a table for women, and a separate table for the children.

Yang Huazhou and Yang Yongjin all came back from the outside. After eating and drinking, they opened the family tree under the auspices of Old Yangtou.

The names of the two new boys and two girls added to the family tree by the four brothers last year were officially written on the family tree.

"Dad, the fourth room is back, write them back too!" Yang Huazhong reminded Lao Yangtou.

Beside him, Yang Huaming couldn't help but glance at Yang Huazhong gratefully.

Yang Huazhong still looked at Old Yangtou, and when he saw that Old Yangtou seemed a little unhappy, the man added: "Everything is going well with the family, even if the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, we are all one family!"

Old Yangtou just took up the pen and wrote Yang Huaming's name back to its original position.

Everyone was overjoyed.

After the banquet was over, the three girls returned home and packed their clothes.

Xiaojuan looked surprised: "Third girl, where are you going to pack your clothes?"

The third girl glanced at Xiaojuan: "I plan to take the eldest sister and Kang Xiaozi to the second sister's house in the town to stay for a while."

Hearing this, Xiaojuan was even more surprised: "Why?"

The third girl said: "For no reason, it was my second sister who sent a message, saying that she wanted to see the eldest sister and Kang Xiaozi, and asked me to send them there to stay for a few days and then come back."

Xiaojuan glanced at the door of He'er's house: "With your eldest sister's character, it's better not to go to the town, otherwise it will cause trouble for Ju'er."

The third girl said: "Auntie, I don't know. Since Feifei died, my eldest sister has become a lot more understanding. She has never lost her temper again, and sometimes she can help us clean the yard.

"

"She is not a normal person. She may lose her temper again at any time..." Xiaojuan tried to dissuade her again.

The third girl's face dropped: "Auntie, my eldest sister has a bad temper. She used to go crazy because of a dog. Later, when the dog died, my eldest sister gradually became normal. Don't talk about her like that."

"Besides, it's not someone else's house I'm going to, it's my second sister's house. My second sister took the initiative to invite my eldest sister there, so don't worry, aunt. I'll take the eldest sister and Kang Xiaozi away, so my aunt can cook less.

It’s easier for two people, isn’t it?”

"I'm happy to be able to take care of you siblings. I'm not tired, really." Xiaojuan explained.

"Also, does your father know about your going to town?"

"Don't worry, aunt, I told my father last night and he nodded."

Xiaojuan froze on the spot.

Yang Huaming knew it last night? Why didn't he tell her today?

Just like that, the third girl left the yard with Yang Ruohe and Kang Xiaozi, and the three siblings went straight to the town.

Yang Huaming stayed at Yang Huazhong's house after noon to drink tea and chat with Yang Huazhou and Yang Yongjin. When he returned home in the afternoon, Tiedan was playing alone in the yard and Xiaojuan was sitting on the edge of the bed sulking.

"What's wrong? The sun is about to set, why are we still doing this? My parents are having dinner at the third brother's house at noon, so we don't need to deliver the food, but I still have to deliver it tonight!"

Yang Huaming came to the table in front of the bed, reached for the teapot and wanted to pour himself a bowl of tea, but found that the teapot was empty.

"What's going on? Why is the teapot empty too?"

Xiaojuan still ignored him.

Yang Huaming was also a little unhappy, "What's going on with you? I was happy when I went out, why did you give me such a cold face when I came back?"

Xiaojuan just raised her head to look at him and said, "Fourth brother, even if I have been with you for more than ten years and given you a fertile egg, as long as I am a concubine for one day, I will not be considered a serious person in this family. I am just a mere

A servant who cooks, washes, and takes care of the children to help you serve your parents, right?"

Yang Huaming was stunned for a moment, and then sat down next to her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Although you are a concubine, we farmers don't distinguish between them. You gave birth to my son and you are my mother-in-law!"

"Since you treat me as a mother-in-law, I won't make it difficult for you to correct me or anything. I just ask you, why did the third girl and the others go to the town to stay at Ju'er's house? You knew it last night, why didn't you follow?

Should I squeak?"

Yang Huaming was stunned for a moment. This woman turned out to be unhappy because of this!

He smiled and said nonchalantly: "I don't think it's a big deal. The children want to stay at Ju'er's place for a few days, so go ahead. It's not a big deal!"

"No matter how small the matter is, you have to tell me, right? If Mrs. Liu was here in the past, I believe you would definitely tell her when the children went to town."

"After talking for a long time, the reason why you feel there is no need to tell me is because the children were not born by me after all, and I am not qualified to ask, right?"

While talking, Xiaojuan's tears actually fell out.

In the past, Mrs. Liu rarely cried. Mrs. Liu liked to act mischievously, putting her hands on her hips and swearing like a shrew.

But Xiaojuan likes to cry. In the first few years, Yang Huaming was still curious about Xiaojuan's crying and delicate appearance. But after seeing this delicate flower too much, naturally there will be times when she becomes tired of it.

"It's such a big deal, why are you crying? The children are old. They can go to town to visit relatives. Don't think too much. Just do your own thing and cook food and water quickly.
