87. The Yao family
When Yao Dazhuang's father and son finally arrived at the front and back of the gate, Song Lingxue didn't care about saying anything to them, so she handed them a piece of cloth first, and asked them to wipe their hair first, and each went back to the house to change into dry clothes.
After they came out, Song Lingxue and the Liu family poured hot water on the three large wooden basins at home, and asked the father and son to wash their hands and faces first, and then brought the wooden basin for washing their feet, and let them sit in front of the table under the grass shed while drinking ginger pink sugar water while soaking their feet.
Although it was early summer, after all, the rain was fierce, and it lasted for several days, and they braved the rain to drive more than forty miles, and Song Lingxue was also afraid that they would catch a cold, so it was better to prevent it in advance.
"Mother, why are you so thoughtful, soak your feet in this hot water, and then drink this hot sugar water, and instantly feel that your body is warm from the inside out." Yao Shizhu once again felt that his wife was getting better and better, not only with a better personality, but also with such a caring heart.
Song Lingxue ignored him, and saw that the water for their feet was almost empty, so she asked them to quickly wipe their feet and put on their shoes and go to sit in the hall, and the meal would be ready immediately.
"Let's eat outside, Ryodo!" Yao Dazhuang, who was the head of the family, had not said a word since he came back, and suddenly said this, which made Song Lingxue stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.
The weather is not cold on the left and right, they have eased up now, and it is nothing to sit under the shed to eat, and there is no rain and no wind.
The He family and Shi Lan both went to the stove room to help the Liu family scoop up the rice, while Song Lingxue sat on the side, carefully looked at the father and son, and saw that there was no sadness on their faces, so they knew that the channel should have been dug up this time, so they could come back early.
Zhou Bingda had already made twelve points of preparation in his heart from the moment he came back to Yaojia Village, after all, when he was outside, he only had two sons who were quite easy to get along with, and some Yaojia Village villagers who were not very familiar with him, although he had a difficult daughter-in-law Yang Lihua, but after all, she had only been there twice.
Now that he is going to return to this home where Yao Dazhuang has lived for decades, in addition to the difficult daughter-in-law, there are two daughters, two daughters-in-law, one grandson and three granddaughters, so many people, Zhou Bing instantly felt that his head was about to explode.
Fortunately, on the way, he carefully recalled some things about Yao Dazhuang at home, and then he made a plan, if he wants to be a good Yao Dazhuang, as long as he remembers to be taciturn, expressionless, and not in charge of things, these three words are good.
"We've already eaten lunch, so in order to make you eat quickly, we can only make something simple, let's deal with it first, and let everyone cook a good meal in the evening." After Shi Lan and the others brought the rice, Song Lingxue said.
"Hehe......" Yao Shishi smiled innocently: "Mother, that's all."
In addition to Liu's boiled meat residue, there are egg flowers, with finely chopped shallots, salty and fragrant and delicious, the meat buns were wrapped yesterday, with cabbage vermicelli and pork belly filling, after distilling with a grate, it does not affect its soft and delicious, and then with Liu's own pickled hot and sour cucumbers, the father and son have been hungry for most of the day, they are all buried in eating, and they can't talk to their families for a while.
Song Lingxue didn't care so much, anyway, everyone was back, and she had time to say anything, so she asked Liu what other dishes there were at home, whether the meat was enough, and after hearing what Liu said was still complete, she asked her to steam some dry rice at night, fry a few dishes, and let the three of them have a good meal.
Liu Shi smiled and nodded, looking at Yao Shishi was obviously losing weight and getting a lot darker, can she not feel distressed about her own man, her mother-in-law's arrangement is also very suitable for her, no matter how much she has in her heart, she will wait for him to rest well, and then talk about it, what matters now is to go and see what vegetables are fried at night, and they must have enough oil and water, so that they can have a good meal.
After the father and son were full of food and drink, Song Lingxue didn't ask much else, and asked them all to go back to the room to rest, thinking that they hadn't rested well during this time, otherwise they wouldn't have looked so tired.
The days on rainy days are very short, the sky gets dark quickly, and there are no timekeeping tools in rural houses, except for the observation of sunrise and sunset, most people rely on years of experience, and feel that the time is basically not much different.
When Liu made dinner, it was about the same as usual, but the sky was completely dark, and he could barely see the way, Song Lingxue went to the hall and lit an oil lamp and asked Liu to start setting the meal.
Then let Shi Lan call her eldest brother, and He Shi went to call her man Yao Shizhu, and then asked Shi Yu to take a few small ones to sit at the big square table in the hall first.
Song Lingxue lifted the curtain on the side of the hall and went to the back bedroom, the inner room was even darker, Song Lingxue couldn't see the situation inside at all, but went to the bedside with her memory, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw a black shadow sit up, it turned out that this person had woken up!
Song Lingxue said, "In charge, it's time for dinner."
Zhou Bing was still a little apprehensive, maybe he was reborn for more than a month and slept in the ventilated Chase shop, snoring, all kinds of dreams and churning sounds, and the chaotic movements made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully, and now he suddenly returned to a strange home, slept on the bed that was quite soft and smelled good, and his body and mind involuntarily relaxed, he actually dreamed.
I dreamed that he was still the eldest son of the Zhou family who was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, and although he had never participated in the imperial examination after obeying the ancestral teachings, he visited famous teachers everywhere, met literati and scholars, often talked about poetry and Taoism together, and also rode horses and whips with the children of famous families, and went hunting.
Then Yao Dazhuang's face suddenly appeared in front of him, and he told him loudly that he was no longer the son of the family with fine clothes and food, but a poor mountain village man.
When Zhou Bing woke up suddenly, he saw the dark shadow in front of the bed, and the somewhat familiar voice, telling him to get up for dinner, and after he got used to it, he remembered his situation, sighed in his heart, and said "um" softly, and he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Song Lingxue didn't say much, but turned around and left directly, and Zhou Bing got up and put on his shoes and walked towards the curtain with a hint of candlelight.
After lifting the curtain, I saw that the people who had already sat at a large table, and when they saw him come out, they all stood up, and a few big ones called him "Dad" and a few small ones called him "Master".
Looking at the flickering candlelight again, a table of dishes, although it is the simplest peasant dish, but Zhou Bing's heart suddenly warmed for some reason, maybe it was the residual feelings of his predecessor.
Zhou Bing sighed again in his heart, since he had replaced Yao Dazhuang and wanted to take care of him as a big family instead of him, Zhou Bing could only force himself to accept his identity as a grandfather as soon as possible.
"Sit down!" Zhou Bing said a word, then went over to the place next to Song Lingxue and sat down, and then said, "Let's eat!"
The family happily ate at this time, in the past, men and women sat at separate tables, but now they don't pay attention to this, and the whole family is very lively together.
