Chapter 34 The Spring of the Aunt

"Brother Niu, you taste this zongzi, it's made by the eldest mother." Wan Liang untied one of the dumplings and handed it to Ah Niu, saying happily.

"Oh? Mother went to help in the kitchen again? By the way, Sister Xiaowan, let's ask my mother to come to dinner together, okay? When Ah Niu mentioned it to Wanliang, he remembered his mother, and remembered that today was the Dragon Boat Festival, so he asked Wanliang.

"No, Brother Niu. This is the zongzi made by the eldest lady at Uncle Wang's house. Just now in Xiuzhuang, I told my aunt to have dinner together, and my aunt said that Uncle Wang asked her to go to his house for the Dragon Boat Festival. When I went to the aunt's show room in the afternoon, I saw that Uncle Wang was already waiting for the aunt at the door of the show room. Now the eldest lady is spending the Dragon Boat Festival at Uncle Wang's house......" Wan Liang smiled and said truthfully to Ah Niu. In fact, she really hopes that the aunt and the kind-faced Uncle Wang can become a pair. Uncle Wang looks like Brother A Niu, he is an honest and honest person. The most important thing is that he is very considerate and attentive to the eldest mother, during this time, he waited for the eldest mother to have lunch with him every day, and sent them back to Dujiabao in the afternoon, rain or shine.

Uncle Wang, actually called Wang Xingqiang, is a handyman in Dujiabao Xiuzhuang, and his family lives in a small village in Ding'an Town. Because his family is too poor, matchmakers are reluctant to go to his house to talk about matchmaking. His father and mother once begged his father to sue his grandmother, and finally got two matchmakers who agreed to be a matchmaker for Wang Xingqiang, and also told him two family affairs. However, when the people from the woman's family came to his house, they saw that the house was surrounded by four walls, and the mud wall house was still going to collapse. In this way, Wang Xingqiang is still forty-five and is still single. So much so that his mother, who was almost seventy years old last year, couldn't expect Uncle Wang to marry a wife and have children when she closed her eyes at the end of her life, and the Wang family's incense continued.

Speaking of the fate of Wang Xingqiang and the eldest mother, we have to start with the enthusiasm of the eldest mother. Wang Xingqiang was branded with gout when he was a child, and three months ago, it was spring, and his gout was suddenly so severe that he walked with a limp. Because there is an old father at home to support, he still endures the pain and insists on coming to work in the show every day. One day, the eldest lady saw Wang Xingqiang walking with a limp, and after inquiry, she learned that he was because of gout.

So, the eldest lady dictated a home remedy for rheumatism pain, "20 grams of cooked ground, 15 grams of broken bones, 15 grams of clematis, epimedium, psoralen, beetle, hyssop, cinnamon branches, red white peony, atractylodes, and 10 grams of Zhimu, 12 grams of Chuanduan, 6 grams of attached tablets, ephedra, turpentine, and 9 grams of fengfeng" asked Wanliang to help her write it down with a pen and paper, and then took it to Wang Xingqiang. Tell him that if he grabs the medicine according to the prescription and decoctions it directly with water, his gout will improve for half a month; He also told him that in late summer and early autumn, he would go to the mountains to pick the fruits of "Xanthus", pound them directly into a puree, and then apply them to the affected area for ten days in a row, and the gout would be cured and would not recur in the future. Many villagers in Qingshui Village know that because they live by the sea for a long time, the biggest problem is that heavy humidity can easily cause gout. The villagers of Qingshui Village have also overcome the big problem of living by the sea that is easy to cause gout because of these home remedies accumulated by experience.

The effect of the eldest mother's home remedies is very good, Wang Xingqiang took the prescription given to him by the eldest mother, went to the pharmacy and grabbed two pairs of boiling water to drink, the pain in the joints was obviously improved, and after insisting on taking it for half a month, the redness and swelling in the joints disappeared, and the pain basically disappeared. This made him really grateful to the eldest mother, and he felt that he could not repay him, so he finally picked a large bamboo basket of the most red and largest ripe cherries on the cherry trees in his backyard and brought them to the show for the eldest lady to taste. The rest of the show was also feasted on and ate fresh and delicious cherries. Then, when the peaches were ripe, he picked a large basket of crisp and delicious fresh peaches for the eldest lady, and a few days ago, a large basket of fresh and green plums...... During this time, the shopkeepers and workers in the show village were all stained with the light of the eldest lady and were full of happiness.

Once, the eldest mother inadvertently saw a big cut in the cuffs of Wang Xingqiang's clothes, so the eldest lady took advantage of lunch time to take a needle and thread to patiently and meticulously sew it for him.

In this way, after coming and going, Wang Xingqiang and the eldest mother simply sparked a spark of love and had feelings for each other. Slowly, Uncle Wang directly called the aunt's maiden name "Chunhua", and the aunt's full name was Zhang Chunhua; The eldest lady also called Wang Xingqiang "Xingqiang". Now, Wang Xingqiang goes to the door of the show room at noon every day to wait for the aunt to go to the canteen for lunch, and in the afternoon, no matter whether the weather is sunny or rainy, he must send the aunt back to Dujiabao first, and then go home by himself. For this reason, the eldest mother was also full of emotion, and felt that Wang Xingqiang was a down-to-earth and careful person who could live.

After all, the eldest mother is only in her early forties this year, and she is a good match for Wang Xingqiang, who is fifty out of forty; In terms of personality, both of them are honest people, and the other is kind and simple; An honest and industrious person is also a perfect match; In terms of appearance, both of them have good facial features, but Uncle Wang looks a little older, so Wanliang thinks that Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang can become a pair, which is a godsend.

"Uncle Wang? Sister Xiaowan, are you talking about the uncle who often sent cloth with me when I was in Xiuzhuang? Ah Niu listened to Wanliang talking vigorously about how Uncle Wang took care of her aunt, and how she hoped that her aunt could achieve positive results with Uncle Wang, and suddenly interrupted Wanliang's words and asked her.

"I don't know if you often send cloth with you, maybe. Anyway, when the time comes, he and the eldest mother will become adults, don't you know when you see me. Wan Liang said happily.

"Well, Sister Xiaowan is right, you'll know it when you see it another day. If it's really the uncle who often sends cloth to me, then he is really good. When I first went to Xiuzhuang, I didn't understand anything, and I couldn't tell the difference between the types of cloth, but he told me them one by one. I was stupid and always confused with cloth, so he repeatedly and patiently taught me the varieties of cloth. Another day, I must meet this Uncle Wang. Ah Niu agreed. suddenly remembered that the two of them were patronizing and chatting, but they forgot to move their chopsticks, so they said to Wanliang gently: "Sister Xiaowan, let's eat first, it's cold to see the dishes." After saying that, she took a large piece of braised fish and put it in her bowl.

So, Wan Liang and Ah Niu started to have dinner at this time. As soon as Wanliang thought of the eldest mother and Uncle Wang, she was happy for them, and couldn't help but talk to Ah Niu about the eldest mother and Uncle Wang while eating. Wanliang and Ah Niu are like this, chatting while eating, chatting and laughing, harmonious and happy.

At this time, the hall of Dujiabao "Yilang Pavilion" is also happy, full of laughter. The most joyful and gratifying is Du Yi, because this is the first time in ten years that he has eaten at the same table with his son Du Hongyu again. It's been ten years, and Yu'er has been grudging against him for ten years. Now, Yu'er has finally figured it out, no longer resents him so much, and is even willing to take a step forward and try to get along with him again. His Yu'er, if he really grew up and became sensible, he was really extremely relieved!

This is completely different from his little concubine Luo Shisha, who also looks smiling, Du Yi is smiling from the inside to the outside, smiling from the bottom of his heart, and he is unspeakably happy; But Luo Shuisha is smiling and not smiling, don't look at her with the same happy eyebrows, in fact, she hates it in her heart! She looked at it, in recent months, Du Hongyu suddenly seemed to be a different person, no longer cynical and extravagant, but conscientious and meticulous in taking care of the Du family's business, the hatred in her heart! She was most worried that Du Yi would hand over all the family business of Du Jiabao to Du Hongyu, so what should her Ze'er do?

Moreover, she has always been angry with Du Yi's refusal to help her as the main room for ten years, and she thinks that all this is because Du Yi spoils Du Hongyu too much, and she refuses to correct her for fear that Du Hongyu will be unhappy, she thinks that everything is Du Hongyu's obstruction. Actually, she really blamed Du Hongyu for this. She didn't want to think about it, if she hadn't been pregnant with Du Yi's flesh and blood and found Du Jiabao, she might not even have to do this concubine. Besides, since she entered the door of Du Jiabao, Du Hongyu has not even had very little communication with Du Yi, how can she blame Du Hongyu for not being corrected for ten years? It's exactly what Du Yi himself meant.

Maybe, she knows too well how much Du Hongyu hates her! I have always seen her either with her eyebrows raised and her eyes raised, with a look of resentment; Either they just turned a blind eye to her, when she didn't exist, and never even recognized Ze'er as a younger brother. Therefore, she has never liked this Du Hongyu, who is not even willing to do superficial work for her. Does Luo Shuisha think that everyone can be like her? Du Hongyu is a self-styled, arrogant master, he has always been unruly, he likes it, he likes it, he hates it, even his father, not to mention that he only thinks that Luo Shisha is a green onion.

This dinner was made of some people happy and some worried. Du Yi was happy to see that the relationship with his son had eased; Du Hongyu thought that he had a harmonious relationship with his father, which Wanliang wanted to see, so he was also happy; and Du Mingze, who is almost ten years old, is naturally happy to eat at the same table with his brother for the first time. Seeing the deep relationship between Du Yi and Du Hongyu's father and son, she was very worried, Du Yi handed over all the big and small family businesses of Du Jiabao to Du Hongyu to take care of; And her Ze'er will not be able to get the Du family's huge family property in the future.

Half an hour later, several people barely ate the reunion dinner with their own hearts. Du Hongyu said a few more words to his father, then walked out of the "Yilang Pavilion" and hurried to the "Lulan Garden". He was going to tell Wanliang that he had dinner with his father just now, and he didn't perfunctory her.
