Chapter 126: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
New Year's Day.
Chen Yunniang and Ye Yunshu got up early in the morning, the custom of Lizhou is to eat glutinous rice balls, and the Ye family wrapped two flavors of glutinous rice balls, black sesame stuffing and peanut stuffing.
Ye Zhengwen happened to be cooking rice balls when he got up, a big pot was full, and the whole kitchen was filled with a sweet smell.
He looked at the remaining rice balls on the plate and asked, "These things are too much?"
Chen Yunniang nodded.
Ye Zhengwen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it okay for me to send it to my father's mother?"
Chen Yunniang nodded again.
Ye Yunshu didn't speak, this glutinous rice ball was originally an extra for Ye Zhengwen to send over, her mother's idea.
Ye Zhengwen went out directly with the plate.
When Ye Yunshu finished eating the last glutinous rice ball, Ye Zhengwen also came back, empty-handed, and even the plates were confiscated.
Ye Yunshu muttered in a low voice: "This is a meat bun and a dog that will never go back!"
Chen Yunniang glared at her and said in a low voice: "What are you talking nonsense, if your milk is a dog, what have you become?"
Ye Yunshu was embarrassed, as if he had buried himself in a pit.
Ye Zhengwen walked into the hall with a heavy heart, Chen Yunniang patted Ye Yunshu's hand and said, "Go and bring in the dumplings for your father." ”
Ye Yunshu left, and Chen Yunniang asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ye Zhengwen sighed, "The second brother and the third brother have separated. ”
Chen Yunniang was also a little surprised, but quickly digested this information.
"That second brother is in a difficult situation right now. ”
Ye Zhengwen nodded, "The glutinous rice balls I just took were all taken by my mother, so let's make some and send them to the second brother later." ”
Chen Yunniang should go down.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the workshop asked Ye Qing to help watch, Ye Qing's daughter-in-law Lu helped cook two meals, and Ye Yunshu's family went to Shibei Village to pay New Year's greetings.
Although the New Year's gift had already passed, Ye Zhengwen was not good at going to Yue's house empty-handed, so he took a detour to the county town and bought two catties of hibiscus cake before going to Shibei Village.
It was almost noon when I arrived at Chen's house.
Chen Yu waited at the door for a long time, and finally saw the Ye family's ox cart coming.
"I thought you weren't coming today. ”
After Chen Yushi finished speaking, Ye Zhengwen apologized solemnly, "I'm sorry, mother, I was delayed on the road today." ”
Xiao Mingting also shouted politely: "Grandma, uncle." ”
Only then did Chen Yu notice Xiao Mingting sitting on the other side, and immediately smiled, "Mingting is here." ”
"And me, and me!" Ye Yun lifted the quilt and came out, his little face was flushed, and he was very festive.
Chen Yushi liked it very much: "Erlang, come on, grandma hug!"
Ye Yunzhong was carried out of the ox cart by Ye Zhengwen, and suddenly threw himself into Chen Yu's arms, holding Chen Yu's legs, "Grandma, grandma, have I grown taller?"
Chen Yu smiled and hugged him back, "Grow taller, grow taller." ”
Chen Yunniang and Ye Yunshu got off the ox cart, and the family entered the courtyard happily.
The lunch was made by Lu and Chen Xueniang together, and it was also very hearty.
Ye Yunshu originally thought that Xiao Mingting would have a sense of alienation, but he didn't expect the atmosphere to be particularly harmonious, and even Chen Laohan and Lu, who saw him for the first time, were very satisfied with him.
"This tiger girl in our family, someone finally wants it!"
"Grandpa, you're talking as if I can't get married. ”
"Isn't it impossible to get married?" Chen Yushi also quipped, "Which of these ten miles and eight villages doesn't know your name?"
Ye Yunshu glanced at Xiao Mingting with a red face, and Xiao Mingting also looked at her with a smile, and Ye Yunshu's face turned even redder.
Obviously I came to visit relatives for the New Year, how can I feel like I took my boyfriend home to meet my parents?
After eating lunch, Chen Xueniang took Ye Yunshu to Mrs. Du's house to buy a goose, and Chen Wenyong helped Lu clean it up.
There are only Lu's mother and son in the kitchen, and Lu has been looking at his son's face, always wanting to find something from his face.
"Mother. Chen Wenyong shook off the water in the bowl and looked at Lu helplessly, "Why do you always look at me today." ”
Lu said: "Aren't I afraid that you will feel uncomfortable?"
"Mother, you think too much. Chen Wenyong couldn't cry or laugh, "Cousin Yun Shu and Xiao Mingting look like a good match, and the relationship is not bad. ”
The two of them are comfortable and eye-catching when they stand together, and they really can't compare.
"That son ......," Lu asked tentatively, "The Qi Wuniang that my mother told you last time, do you want to see it?"
Chen Wenyong was silent for a moment, "Listen to my mother." ”
Lu responded happily.
Mrs. Du's house happened to have a nest of goose cubs that had just hatched, Ye Yunshu picked two lively and active ones, paid fifty yuan, and Mrs. Du also gave a small basket.
When he came out with the basket, he met Zhou Xin and Zeng Cuiniang on the ridge, and the road was narrow.
Zhou Xin looked particularly embarrassed, and pulled Zeng Cuiniang to go back, but Zeng Cuiniang did not move.
"Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is my sister doing?"
said that he cared, but the smugness in that tone was not concealed at all.
Chen Xueniang said, "Who is your sister?!" I am my father's daughter, I don't know when I have an extra sister!"
Zeng Cuiniang smiled slightly, "After all, my sister is Zhou Lang's former wife, although she is now in Ning, but I, a later one, still have to be polite." ”
"Zeng Niangzi's rules are good to learn. Ye Yunshu teased, "I just don't know where I learned it?" I heard that the ladies of Liuxiangyuan call people like this, and I don't know if it's true or not, can Zeng Niangzi know?"
Zeng Cuiniang's face stiffened, and before she could speak, Ye Yunshu said again: "But my aunt has nothing to do with the Zhou family, and there is no need to see him in the future, so as not to misunderstand, right?"
Zeng Cuiniang's face was very ugly, Chen Xueniang didn't bother to pay attention to her, raised her eyes and asked Zhou Xin, "Where is Xiaoyin?"
Zhou Xin replied: "At home, my mother is watching." ”
Chen Xueniang sneered: "Your daddy is really good!"
Zhou Xin's face turned red in an instant, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to defend himself.
Chen Xueniang didn't have a good face at all for Zhou Xin, "I said that I would send Xiaoyin back tomorrow for three days." ”
"Good. Zhou Xin nodded and pulled Zeng Cuiniang, "Cuiniang, let's go back too." ”
Zeng Cuiniang was unwilling and said: "Zhou Lang, I see that my father misses my father and mother, Mrs. Chen, it is better to let Xiaoyin stay for two more days." ”
Chen Xueniang's eyes turned cold all of a sudden, and she looked straight at Zhou Xin without speaking.
After all, Zhou Xin was the one with a weak heart, and said, "Next time, let's talk about good things." ”
Zeng Cuiniang sighed, "Zhou Lang, my father is generous, I knew my situation and let me enter the door and gave me a bracelet, I am grateful to my father and mother, of course I have to think more about my father." ”
Zhou Xin listened, and his face was moved, "Cui Niang, you are so kind!"
Ye Yunshu suddenly remembered the picture of spicy eyes when he looked at the affectionate and sweet look, and then goosebumps rose.
"Auntie, let's go. She rubbed her arms as she said, "It's disgusting, I can't stand it." ”
Chen Xueniang sneered, "It's quite disgusting." ”
With that, the two of them raised their feet and left, leaving Zhou Xin and Zeng Cuiniang to stay where they were with embarrassed faces.
After taking two steps, Ye Yunshu looked back at the two of them, tilted his head and said to Chen Xueniang: "Wait and see, Zeng Cuiniang's mask will have to be uncovered sooner or later, and then I don't know if Zhou Xin regrets it or not." ”
Chen Xueniang's tone was flat, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with our family." ”
Ye Yunshu nodded: "That's what I said." ”
