Yang Liu reached out and moved Yang Bai's head, then helped him comb his messy hair.
After putting the things on the donkey cart and sitting on it, the little guy began to tell her about their feat of competing with others for shopping just now.
Now, after being raised in her home for a few months, Yang Bai is no longer as skinny and malnourished as before. Not only has he grown a little taller, but his face has also gained some flesh.
More importantly, he now speaks and acts like a child, not as mature as before, and is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
In addition to the three of them, there were other people from the village on the donkey cart. They all came to buy New Year's goods as the New Year was approaching. However, most of them bought rice, flour, oil, salt and the like, unlike them who bought almost all snacks.
Yang Liu leaned on Chu Yue and listened to the chatter of the village aunties. Most of them were talking about trivial matters of the neighbors, but it made people feel particularly warm. Before they knew it, they arrived at the place.
When she got home, her mother was frying tofu, meatballs and crispy pork in the kitchen for the New Year. As soon as she entered the yard, she smelled a rich fragrance.
After Yang Bai put down the things in his hands, he immediately ran to the kitchen and shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, we are back."
After that, he also handed over the sugar-coated rice cakes he brought back.
"Dad, Mom, hurry up and eat. I just put it in my arms, and it's still warm."
Li Qiuhe smiled, rubbed his head, and stuffed a sweet potato ball into his mouth.
“Mmm, it’s delicious.”
Yang Liu also came in and asked with a smile, "What's so delicious?"
As soon as she came in, she saw Yang Bai's cheeks were swollen, and he looked like a squirrel stealing food.
"Sweet potato balls, mom just fried them, they are super sweet." The little guy immediately took one and handed it to Yang Liu.
After taking a bite, I found that the outside was crispy and the inside was soft and glutinous. I have to say that the ingredients of this era are all uncontaminated by fertilizers and pesticides, and the taste is the most natural, so the food made is also particularly delicious.
“It’s really delicious.”
"It's delicious. Eat more. I fried a lot."
After all the fried foods were done, Li Qiuhe filled a large bowl with all the different kinds of food. "Liu'er, give some of these to your second aunt so they can have a taste too."
"Okay, I'm going to give the cloth I bought to my elder sister so she can help me make some clothes."
There were so many things, and Yang Bai was worried that she couldn't carry them all by herself, so she volunteered, "Sister, I'll go with you."
It only takes a few minutes to walk from their home to their second aunt's home if they walk quickly, but they just ate a lot, so now they can use this time to digest the food after the meal, because their family will make dumplings and meat buns in the evening.
I have to digest it well now to make room in my stomach.
When he arrived, Yang Bai saw that the courtyard door was open, so he went straight in and called out. Only the eldest sister came out, "You guys are here?"
"Big sister, why are you home alone?" Yang Liu took out the bowl from the basket and handed it to her.
"My mom just fried it, it's still hot, try it."
"There's no need to mention my aunt's cooking skills. It must be delicious."
"I heard the villagers were fishing in the river, and my parents, Zhizhi, and Xiaoshu all went to watch the fun, so I was the only one at home."
Seeing Yang Bai's excited and interested face, Yang Liu knew that he wanted to go. She patted his head and said, "Go if you want, but be careful."
"Big sister, this is the cloth I bought in town today. Please use it to make a new set of clothes for each of our two families!"
"Such fine cloth, why don't you keep it and make clothes for yourself? Why give it back to us?" After saying this, she fondly touched her belly and said with a smile, "Besides, in a few months, there will be two more people in your family, and the expenses will increase. You should live frugally and not be so extravagant."
Although she knew that Liu Liu's husband was smart and could make money by helping people translate documents, she still had to live a steady life and not live for today's money.
"Big sister, why are you becoming more and more like an old woman in her seventies or eighties? You're even telling me about life."
Seeing her teasing him, Yang Nan reached out and pinched her increasingly round face, saying angrily, "Don't think I'm nagging. Raising a child is not an easy thing. We adults can make do with anything, but it's different for children."
Yang Liu hurriedly took her hand and pulled her into the house. "Big sister, I know you're doing this for my own good, but don't worry, our future will be better and better."
Knowing that his sister was a person with her own ideas, Yang Nan didn't say much.
After all, she is an unmarried young lady, and it seems a bit inappropriate to tell her how to live her life.
Finally, the two of them discussed making clothes together and decided on the sizes. Yang Liu also helped with the cutting. After a while, they heard a commotion outside. From the sound, it seemed that the people who came to watch the fun had returned.
Yao Caiying yelled, "I told you that you shouldn't have backed down. Why did you give such a fat fish to that shameless Zhang Guilan? They didn't do anything wrong, and they got such a benefit for nothing. Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Yang Junqing had nothing to do, so he asked a few people in the village who were good at swimming to build a dam in the lower reaches of the river. After draining most of the water, they went down to catch fish in their wetsuits.
After they finished, they divided the fish on the shore. Zhang Guilan shamelessly said that the fish in the river were public property after all, and they took them without telling the secretary. If it came to that, they would probably be in big trouble.
Everyone thought that the New Year was almost here, and it was not worth it to hurt the harmony between each other over such a trivial matter.
In order to calm things down, or to be more precise, to shut her up, he prepared to give Zhang Guilan a random fish to stop her from talking nonsense.
This person is really shameless to the extreme. She actually complained that the fish they gave her didn't have enough meat and refused to take it, insisting on choosing one herself.
You choose it and this person actually took the biggest fish.
A rough estimate is that the fish weighs at least five kilograms.
Yao Caiying went there later. When she arrived, Zhang Guilan had already walked away with the fish, satisfied. When she knew about this, she felt like she had swallowed a fly, feeling nauseous and neither up nor down.
Seeing her mother shaking with anger, Yang Zhi consoled her, "Mom, don't be angry. There are so many people here, but no one takes it seriously. You're the only one who's making a fuss about it, acting like we're the only one who needs food. Besides, everyone just wants some peace and quiet so they can have a peaceful New Year."
"This is called losing money to avoid disaster."
