Madam Zhou also went back and called Fourth Uncle Tang. They said hello and got into the car.
The fourth uncle of Tang Dynasty was greedy for this mule. He sat outside and asked questions here and there from time to time. He prayed that he would answer all his questions without getting bored.
Qiyangren was still young and sat in the car with them. Xiaoyaoer had never been out of Jubao Village since she was born. She was so excited that she opened the curtain to look outside from time to time. Tang Shiyue also let her go, and everyone was talking.
They were busy discussing what to buy.
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is known as the "evil day" among the people. In rural areas, there is no such thing as dragon boat racing. According to local customs, in addition to making rice dumplings, you have to eat five kinds of rice, namely eel, yellow croaker, and salted rice.
Duck egg yolk, cucumber and realgar wine, and five yellows, namely calamus, mugwort, garlic, banyan branches and pomegranate flowers.
But usually they don’t all buy it in such a complete way. People usually just stick a piece of moxa, eat a piece of yellow croaker, and drink some realgar wine to suit the occasion.
But Tang Shiyue didn't think so. Does life need a sense of ritual? It was the first festival in this life, and she didn't have any money, so why not have a good time? She was going to buy everything! And buy a few more clothes by the way!
Madam Zhou listened to her calculations and whispered softly: "Did Qi Xiaolang repay you the money you helped pay?"
Tang Shiyue also whispered: "I paid it back and gave Xie Yi twenty taels more!"
Madam Zhou immediately felt relieved and whispered: "When he gave Shunzi the money, I was still thinking, if Shunzi should thank him, Yue'er should thank him even more. Although this child doesn't speak, he is a sensible person.
.”
Qi Jing, who was sitting in the front, tilted his head. Fourth Uncle Tang said directly: "Are you sure you can ask me to try?"
"Of course," Qi Jing said, "You are an old rider, what are you worried about?" He stepped aside and let Fourth Uncle Tang enjoy himself.
Madam Zhou listened to the commotion outside and couldn't help but laugh: "Your fourth uncle is very rare in mules. He was so greedy when people were leading the mules that he even took a detour to go to the patriarch's house to see them!"
In fact, cattle are more expensive than mules, but cattle are used a lot in the countryside, and mules are expensive to raise and have little use, so they are generally not available in rural areas.
Tang Shiyue just smiled and said: "It will happen in the future."
Madam Zhou didn't say much, and the two of them chatted and quickly arrived in the town. Uncle Tang was guarding the mule, and Qi Jing could only accompany the two women and the two little dumplings.
Xiao Yao'er is usually very well-behaved, but when she came to the town for the first time, everything she saw was novel and she was very excited. She ran around. Although Xiao Qiyang had no expression on his face, because Tang Shiyue said in advance, he would do it.
He took it seriously when he was responsible for Xiao Yao'er's safety. As soon as she stopped, he would stop and wait for her. Occasionally, Xiao Yao'er wouldn't finish talking, and he would nod coldly, just like a little adult, so cute.
Madam Zhou looked amused and couldn't help but said to him: "Brothers of the Qi family, although they don't like to talk, their character is really impeccable. Even this child seems to know etiquette very well, especially Qi Xiaolang.
You are so provocative." She leaned closer to her and whispered: "Your grandma is a loser. You have to know it yourself. There are only so many good men. If you fall in love with her, act quickly. Don't shout.
Others snatched it away."
Tang Shiyue: "..."
Please look back. The Qi Xiaolang you mentioned is three steps behind us. Can you hear me clearly?
Tang Shiyue said helplessly: "You are thinking too much."
Mrs. Zhou said: "Auntie, I think you are a successful child, so I am telling you this. If you are a frivolous little lady, I will never tell you. If your family is like this, you should have planned it early, otherwise
, I don’t know what else happened over there.”
Tang Shiyue was a little moved when she saw what she said was heartbreaking, and said softly: "I understand."
The two women wandered around for a day and bought everything. Then they went to the entrance of the ancestral school to wait for Tang Shirong and the others.
The two families have agreed that they will go to Fourth Uncle Tang's house tomorrow to celebrate the festival. Zongzi will also be made at Uncle Tang's house. Then they will mix the dishes together. Fourth Uncle Tang also said to Qi Jing, "If A Jing doesn't mind, come over too."
, it’s lively when there are more people.”
Qi Jing responded with a smile: "Then I won't bother you."
While talking, the two of them had already come out of the school side by side. Tang Shiyue opened the curtain and jumped down, shouting: "Brother!"
When Tang Shirong looked up, he saw a bright and bright smiling face, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Yueyue!"
The two sides met each other for a while, and introduced Qi Jing to them. A young man in a green shirt heard the voice, turned his head, was startled, took a closer look, and then quickened his pace and walked away.
The group returned to the village.
After boiling water in the evening, Tang Shirong and his sister all washed their hair, took a bath, and put on newly bought clothes. They were talking and laughing when Wang suddenly raised his hand and overturned the table, screaming hysterically.
He started to cry: "Do you still think of me as my mother-in-law? You are unfilial! You treacherous sons!"
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows, picked up Xiao Yao'er and went to the west.
This shabby house actually only had one couch, but Tang Shirong made one with straw on the west side, and then Tang Shiyue made another one, and now they all sleep here.
Tang Shirong frowned a little when he saw it.
While having dinner, he noticed that something was wrong. Wang and the Tang sisters didn't say a word. Now, they started to have fits. Wang rarely had such fits, and she usually just cried.
Tang Shirong stepped forward and softly tried to persuade her: "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Wang didn't even comb her hair, and said with disheveled hair: "You still have the nerve to ask! Kneel down!"
"No kneeling!" Tang Shiyue said coldly: "The new clothes you are wearing cost 800 yuan. Why kneel down?"
Wang's hands were shaking with anger: "You beast! Beast!"
Tang Shiyue said coldly: "Tiger poison can't even eat its seeds, so you are worse than an animal!"
In fact, she is not a person who can't hold her breath. If she were at home, no matter what Wang did, she would be done with a few words of cold treatment. But now that Tang Shirong is back... the "head of the family" is back, and she also wants to
If you lose your temper willfully once, why do you have to endure it every time?
Tang Shirong's expression darkened, then he lifted up his skirt and knelt down.
Tang Shiyue was a little angry at that time. Unexpectedly, she saw Tang Shirong's hands behind his back and waved them gently. When he looked again, he saw that Tang Shirong was kneeling on the futon. He must not have soiled his new clothes.
It was hard for this honest kid. Tang Shiyue was a little funny and didn't say anything.
But although Mrs. Wang asked Tang Shirong to kneel down, she had nothing to say. She just scolded him, saying that she was unfilial and disrespectful. The key was that they all bought new clothes today, but they didn't buy them for her.
I didn’t even buy her a hairpin ring, or anything like that.
Tang Shiyue said to her heart that last time you sold out your daughter and bought yourself three sets of new clothes and a lot of makeup, do you really think I am blind and can't see it?
She was too lazy to pay attention to her, hugged Xiao Yao'er and fell asleep. Wang scolded her son and fell asleep too. Tang Shirong waited for her to fall asleep, then came back, quietly washed up and lay down.
.
After dinner in the morning, Tang Shirong went with her to the mountains to pick mugwort and calamus. When he saw no one around, he asked, "What's going on?"
Tang Shiyue rolled his eyes.
This time she was a little more angry, so she simply told everything about Tang Yongfu, including the incident about Tang Yongfu, and of course the turmoil this time. After she finished speaking, she glanced at him coldly.
He said in his heart that if he dared to lecture her, saying that after all, she is a mother-in-law and you have to let her go, she would... she would never make delicious food for him again! Meow, break up the relationship! (To be completed)
