Chapter 22 Yang Lotus returns to her parents' home
The curtain of the car was lifted, and the first to come down was Yang Hehua's eldest son Zhao Hai and second son Zhao Wen, and then Yang Lotus walked down with her youngest daughter Zhao Yun, Yang Lotus is 26 years old, because she is rich, so the whole person looks like she is just in her early 20s.
As soon as Wu saw Yang Lotus, he smiled with folds on his face, "Hua'er, you're back!" Mother has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Yang Hehua was very proud when she heard Wu say this, but her face was not revealed, "Mother, what do you know, now everyone is leaving relatives, and the snacks and sugar in the grocery store are selling well, and they are very busy in the morning." ”
"Well, busy is good business!" Li twisted his big ass and squeezed Xiao Yue to the back, with a smile on his face, "My sister's life is good, everyone spends money on this New Year, but my sister makes money, she just has the ability." ”
Yang Hehua looked at Li's eyes full of disdain, and said impatiently: "That's, how can you make money if you don't have the ability." Turning his head and seeing Xiao Yue behind Li, he said lightly, "This is the second brother and sister!" When you married your second brother, I didn't come over when the family was busy, so don't be surprised by your second brother and sister. Saying this, looking at Xiao Yue's eyes, it was full of perfunctory.
Xiao Yue shook her head, "How could it be, eldest sister." Xiao Yue understands in her heart that this Yang Lotus will only come back in the third year of junior high school since she got married, and she will never come back on weekdays for fear that her mother's family will go to fight the autumn wind, so she usually doesn't interact with her mother's family, and she will give money every year when she comes back for the New Year, and she is afraid that the Wu family will embarrass her husband, and she enjoys the feeling of the stars holding the moon and wants to show it off.
When she saw Yang Changfu and Lin, Yang Lotus finally had a smile on her face, and she stepped forward and took Lin's hand affectionately, "Yo, the third brother and sister are getting more and more smart, and they look like a bit of an official's wife, and the third brother will definitely be able to pass the college exam this year." ”
Hearing this, Lin covered the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Eldest sister, I don't dare to say this, there is no definite number yet." ”
Yang Hehua glared at her with disgust, "You are still so angry with the eldest sister, who are we with whom, the third brother I don't know that he must have a big future." ”
The smile on the corner of Lin's mouth became even bigger, "The eldest sister is still so straightforward, mother, it's cold, hurry up and let the eldest sister enter the house!" ”
Wu also hurriedly hugged Zhao Yun, "Hey, my grandmother's heart and liver are freezing in such a cold weather, let's go into the house quickly." ”
Finally a large family entered the hall, Yang Lotus was still over there pulling the Lin family to talk affectionately, and the Wu family was hugging his granddaughter and screaming heartily, Zhao Peng obviously only looked at Yang Fufu, who was studying, so he only talked to him.
The Li family saw that Yang Hehua's face was full of resentment when he saw Yang Hehua's affection for the Lin family, Xiao Yue didn't care, he didn't plan to make love with them, Yang Changgui was an honest man and no one paid attention to him, so he went out to the courtyard to chop wood.
Wu smiled and followed his granddaughter to talk, turned to Xiao Yue and said to Li: "What are you doing sitting here, don't you hurry up and cook, you have to scold me to go!" ”
Seeing Wu say this, Lin pretended to stand up, "Mother, don't be angry, I'll go now, it's not good to be angry." ”
Yang Lotus hurriedly said to Wu: "Mother, I still have to talk to the third brother and sister, you see how filial the third brother and sister are, so concerned about you, you let her talk to me!" After speaking, he glanced at Li and Xiao Yue and said, "Sister-in-law, second brother and sister, I'm sorry for you, we have to go back early, so you move quickly." ”
Xiao Yue smiled and went to the kitchen without speaking, she just saw the smile on the corner of Lin's mouth and understood that she was doing it on purpose, wanting to show her status in this family, it was really boring.
Li reluctantly followed him to the kitchen, and when he arrived at the kitchen, he muttered, and even looked at Xiao Yue unpleasantly.
The dishes are all washed, as long as they are cut and fried, seeing that Li is sitting under the stove and not moving, Xiao Yue started to fry the vegetables by herself.
As soon as he poured the oil into the pot, Li Shi said in a strange voice: "Second brother and sister, what are you doing with so much oil, and the rest will not be fried." ”
Xiao Yue looked at the oil in the pot as usual, and ignored her.
When it was time to put the salt, Li said again: "Second brother and sister, can you still eat that dish with so much salt?" ”
Xiao Yue understood that she was finding fault with herself, but she didn't want to quarrel with the Li family if there were outsiders, so she thought about forbearance and passed.
Unexpectedly, the Li family intensified, "Second brother and sister, how can this dish be eaten raw if the heat is not enough." ”
"Second brother and sister, you see that the vegetables are burnt."
"Second brother and sister, why are you cutting the chicken into such large pieces?"
"Second brother and sister, you haven't shaved the fish scales clean."
......
Xiao Yue really couldn't bear it, she threw the spoon directly into the pot, and with a "bang-" sound, Li Shi was frightened.
Xiao Yue pulled her up and sat down by herself, "Sister-in-law, you can fry it yourself, there are so many opinions, I don't have the ability, you can fry it!" ”
"Death! Break the pot and see how I clean you up. Wu Shi heard the voice and rushed over, "Old man, who are you playing with your temper, are you not cleaning up?" ”
As soon as Li Shi reacted, he was scolded by Wu, and immediately jumped up as if he had been stung by a scorpion, "Mother, where is me, it was thrown by the second brother and sister." I was all scared. ”
Wu turned to Xiao Yue with an unhappy face, and Xiao Yue said before she could speak: "Mother, my sister-in-law has been dissatisfied with the stir-frying, so I thought that my sister-in-law should probably want to fry herself, so I gave her the spatula, who knows that she didn't catch it." ”
Li didn't expect Xiao Yue to say this, she was stunned After seeing Wu's face, she hurriedly said: "Where is this, mother, she threw it on purpose, she ....."
"Mother, hurry up and let my sister-in-law stir-fry, my eldest sister is still waiting to eat." Xiao Yue opened her mouth and interrupted Li's words.
Wu heard Xiao Yue's words and said to Li: "Hurry up and stir-fry, we are all waiting for the meal, so grinding, when will we be able to eat, after eating, the flowers will go back to the town early, hurry up." After saying that, he went back to the hall.
Li glared at Xiao Yue fiercely, grabbed the spatula and began to stir-fry.
Xiao Yue laughed in her heart, let you have nothing to do, others provoked you, you were angry at me, and I was not angry.
The meal was set on the table at noon, with a table for the two sons of Old Man Yang, Zhao Peng, Yang Changgui, Yang Changfu, Yang Dabao, Yang Erbao and Yang Hehua, Wu, Yang Hehua, Li, Lin and Xiao Yue, Li's youngest son and daughter and Yang Hehua's daughter at a table. Xiao Yue cooked and sent some to Yang Chang into the house.
Except for the Wu family, Yang Lotus and Lin family talking, the other people did not speak, Xiao Yue was talking to them, and Li was busy eating.
After eating and sitting for a while, Yang Lotus was about to go back, and when he left, he took out 2 taels of silver and gave it to Wu.
Wu smiled and took the silver and put it in his arms, and Li's eyes lit up when he looked at the silver.
Yang Hehua raised her chin and glanced around, "Mother, I'll give you the silver next time I come back, and I'll go back first today." ”
Wu nodded, "Hua'er, my mother is waiting for you to come back, your family is doing your best now, but when your third brother becomes an official, our family will be fine." ”
Yang Lotus said: "Of course, we will have to bow down when we see the third brother in a short time." ”
Yang Changfu and Lin chuckled silently.
Yang Hehua took a small bag from the things she brought back and handed it to Yang Changfu, "Third brother, this is the pen and ink that your brother-in-law brought you when he went to the county seat to buy goods, I heard that the scholars in the city use this kind of thing." ”
Yang Changfu took it and handed it to Lin, "Thank you eldest sister and brother-in-law, I remember your kindness." ”
Yang Lotus was even happier when she heard Yang Changfu say this, and said vigorously to Yang Changfu how she took care of him when she was a child, until she saw Yang Changfu's impatient expression on his face and turned back.
The Chinese New Year is a rare good day for rural people, but at the same time it is very boring. Because there was nothing to do, plus there was no entertainment.
After the fifth day of the new year, there is no New Year's Spirit, but there are temple fairs in some surrounding villages that are more fun. If the village is relatively wealthy, it will also take advantage of the temple fair to sing a play for two or three days, but not every village has a temple fair.
Linshui Village, only the neighboring village, Wang Village, is relatively wealthy and has temple fairs. The people of Wang Village make money by burning green bricks, and the temple fair in Wang Village is on the tenth day of the new year, so the three days of the ninth, tenth and eleventh days of the new year will be very lively, and the people in the village are looking forward to going to have a good show early.
Xiao Yue didn't go to join in the fun, because she couldn't understand the play and didn't worry that Yang Changfa was home alone.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, everyone in the Yang family went. Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa didn't even have anything to eat at home, so Xiao Yue had to go back to her parents' house to serve some food.
The Xiao family is only the Zheng family, Xiao Yue brought some to Yang Changfa after eating at the Xiao family, and the Zheng family asked her to go to the temple fair in Wang Village tomorrow. Zheng said that the Bodhisattva enshrined in the Wangcun temple fair was very spiritual, and asked Xiao Yue to go to worship together, Xiao Yue thought about going to the temple to ask Yang Chang for a peace charm and agreed.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yue got up and cleaned up the house, and gave Yang Chang a bowl of water by the kang, so he went to Xiao's house to find the Zheng family to go to Wang Village.
Zheng took incense at home, and incense could not be borrowed, so Xiao Yue planned to buy it at the temple gate later.
When I arrived in Wang Village, there were already a lot of people, and everyone was idle during the Chinese New Year, so everyone came here to play.
There is a temple outside the village of Wang Village, and Xiao Yue has also seen the antique temple in his previous life. The temple in front of you is mysterious, you can smell the smell of incense from afar, the bell in the temple will ring every once in a while, and the people who come and go have a pious look on their faces.
Xiao Yue didn't believe in gods before, but since she came to this time and space for no reason, she began to believe in fate, believing that everything was already arranged in the dark.
There is a large open space in front of the temple, it is a drying field when the farm is busy, this will be all stalls to sell things, small traders are shouting loudly, people who come to play are walking and watching, occasionally there are children clamoring to buy things, it is very lively.
