Changping Village, the twenty-third day of the first lunar month.

"Mom, I thought you would be back in three to five days, but I didn't expect that eight days would pass from beginning to end."

Luo Fengtang helped Yang Huazhong move things from the carriage, while Yang Ruoqing affectionately took Sun into the house.

Mrs. Sun smiled and patted the back of Yang Ruoqing's hand: "I went out with the He family two or three times, burned incense in the temple, looked at the pear blossoms, and went to the temple fair."

"Haha, those things sound interesting." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"It's really interesting. People in the city are really good at playing," Mrs. Sun also said,

"Your Aunt He wants to keep me here for a few more days. You said there will be lanterns in the city when the dragon raises its head in February, but I won't have time to watch!"

"Mom, it's not that you don't have time to spare. Mom, you are thinking about the chickens, ducks and geese at home."

When Yang Ruoqing pointed it out, Sun did not defend herself. Indeed, she had dreamed last night that a weasel came to the house and took away the old hen that was nesting in the nest. That was the old hen that she had raised for three years!

Entering the main room, the windows are bright and clean. It is obvious that Yang Ruoqing has taken good care of the house during the eight days he left. The table is almost spotless, the tea bowl is upside down in the tea tray, and it is covered with a clean handkerchief. You can see everywhere.

Comfortable.

"Qing'er, you've worked hard these days. You've taken good care of this house."

After Mrs. Sun looked around, she felt sincerely grateful.

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "I am your daughter, so I should do this. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you some tea. Tang Yazi and I came here to boil the hot water in the morning."

Mrs. Sun said: "If you are not busy drinking, I will go to the backyard to take a look."

Yang Ruoqing knew that I wanted to see her chickens and ducks, so she didn't stop her and stayed in the main room to continue making tea and wait for Sun and Yang Huazhong to come over later.

When Mrs. Sun came to the backyard, the first thing she saw was the two quilts hanging on the horizontal bamboo poles, which were on the bed between her and Yang Huazhong.

There is a mattress and a quilt, and a row of shoes on the flower bed next to it.

She glanced at the side room and saw that the window was also bright and clean.

Going to the back of the kitchen, in an area where the fishing nets are pulled up, chickens, ducks and geese are leisurely pecking at rice husks, corns, and wild vegetable leaves on the ground. There is a basin of clean water in the basin next to it.

Mrs. Sun found the old hen in the nest. It was squatting on the haystack and tilting its head to look at her. One eye was open and the other was closed. It made "coo-coo" sounds from time to time, as if to say hello to her.

Mrs. Sun smiled contentedly.

When they returned to the main room, Yang Huazhong and Luo Fengtang had already returned and were sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

Yang Ruoqing brought a bowl of tea to Mrs. Sun and joked: "Have you seen them all? There are a lot of chickens and ducks, right?"

Mrs. Sun took the tea and smiled lovingly and gratifiedly, "Thank you for your hard work these days. You have taken good care of me inside and out."

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "If you want to thank me, thank your son-in-law. Apart from opening the windows for ventilation, he does everything else, including feeding and carrying quilts."

"Ah? It's all done by Tang Yazi?"

Sun was shocked and looked at Luo Fengtang with gratitude.

Luo Fengtang was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "This is my responsibility, I don't deserve thanks."

…

Yang Ruoqing helped Sun sort out the gifts brought back from Qing'an County, some for the Sun family and some for each room of the old Yang family.

There is also a big box that Xiao Yu brought to Uncle Chang Gen and Aunt Gui Hua.

"Mom, Xiaoyu, are you all okay?"

"The children are all very nice. They are all dressed like young men. Xiaoyu herself is well dressed, but she is thinner. She is even thinner than when she was a girl at home."

"Hey, although she is a young mistress, she has a heavy burden to worry about."

Yang Ruoqing sighed, "Which young lady from a wealthy family like the Ning family is not a well-matched young lady? She has been able to read and write since she was a child, and learned to take care of the inner house from the elders of the family?"

You can imagine how difficult it would be for a girl like Xiao Yu, who comes from a grassroots background, doesn't know a single word, and doesn't understand the survival skills of the inner house, to climb up the Ning family step by step until she has a firm foothold.

Behind it is not only Ning Su's support, but also her own efforts.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu was smart and could learn many things in one go. Many of them were learned after two times of eating. In addition, she was able to live up to her expectations and gave birth to four sons for the Ning family.

Now that the old lady of the Ning family is getting old, the housekeeping rights have been completely handed over to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu is finally proud and proud.

But what awaits her next is a heavier burden, socializing with the ladies in Qing'an County, raising husbands and raising children, serving her parents-in-law...

Not to mention losing weight, it’s good that you don’t suffer from depression!

"This is Xiaoyu's fate, and it is also the path she has chosen. As long as she feels happy." In the end, Yang Ruoqing could only conclude this way.

You look tired, but you are not someone else and cannot use your own feelings to measure it. Maybe the tiredness in your eyes is happiness to others, right?

"By the way, mother, have you finalized a date with the He family?"

Yang Ruoqing then asked again, the main purpose of her parents' trip to Qing'an County was for Xiao An's marriage.

Seeing the two of them coming back happily and bringing back a cartload of gifts, three of the five sentences contained references to the He family. They went out together wherever they went. You didn't need to guess to know that the relationship between the two families had gone a step further.

When asked about this, Mrs. Sun couldn't keep the smile on her face, and she quickly told Yang Ruoqing everything, including the flower purse that He Lian'er gave to Xiao An.

"That girl Lian'er hasn't gone out to play with us since she gave us the flower purse. She doesn't come to see the pear blossoms or go to the temple fair. She has something to do. Xiao'an's military department has something to do and she can't come. It's Da'an Xiaohua who accompanies us.

."

Yang Ruoqing covered her mouth and smiled, "Xiao An is really busy, but that girl Lian'er is probably shy."

Mrs. Sun thought for a while, "But that day we went to He's house to pay New Year's greetings. I thought she was quite generous."

"Mom, this is the same as the other. At that time, the relationship was not broken yet, but now we have entered the stage of discussing marriage. The girl is thin-skinned, which is understandable."

"That makes sense. When I got engaged to your father, not to mention that I didn't dare to meet your father and the people from the Lao Yang family. Even when I heard that people from Changping Village came to our Sunjiagou, I was afraid.

I’m too embarrassed to go out when I’m hiding!”

Speaking of what happened when she was young, Sun shook her head and laughed. Looking back and thinking about it now at this age, she really doesn't know what she was afraid of and what she was hiding from.

However, the feeling I had when I was young was really good and I will never forget it.

Yang Ruoqing also secretly recalled the feeling of being in love with Tang Yazi for a long time, and secretly blushed.

The feeling of first love is like drinking a glass of green plum wine, sour, sweet and so fragrant.

"Mom, how should we deal with the two families next? Have you and your elders discussed it?"
