Yang Chunyan explained: "Mom, this is Huai'an's gift from the old man. He wants to honor you..."
Yang's mother said distressedly: "We know you are filial, but there is no need to buy such an expensive thing. Take it back quickly. If you can return it, it's best to return it."
Zhou Huaian didn't expect that his mother-in-law and father-in-law would react more violently than the older people in the family after seeing the gold jewelry. He didn't know what to say and looked at his sister-in-law who had just helped to speak.
Seeing this, Yang Dongmei hurriedly said, "Old man, you don't know this, right? Wang Zhen said that gold is a universal currency, and that it will only become more and more expensive in the future. If you have spare money that you don't need, buy it and keep it. It will definitely make money in the future."
Zhou Huaian nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Doctor Xiao Wang also told me so. If you two elders find it troublesome to wear it, just leave it at home and wear it later. Besides, this thing was bought for me by Doctor Wang from the provincial capital, and there is no place to return it!"
Seeing that her parents wanted to say something, Yang Chunyan pretended to be unhappy and said, "Forget it. Huai'an wanted to honor you, but you still despised him..."
Mother Yang looked at her with a reproachful look, "Girl, we don't dislike you at all, we just think it's unnecessary to buy such an expensive thing."
Father Yang also said: "Yes, it's not easy for you to earn a little money by getting up at five in the morning and going to bed at midnight! Don't buy such expensive things again in the future."
Zhou Huaian agreed with a smile. He knew that only elders who truly treated you well would feel sorry for you. No matter what they thought in their hearts, as long as you had a correct attitude, the elderly would be happy. This was also what he had learned during this period.
Yang's father and mother were actually very happy in their hearts, because their son-in-law really loved their daughters, so he valued them and cared about them. Love the man and love the people in him!
Yang Chunyan smiled and nodded, "Okay! Next time we come here we won't buy anything, we'll just come here to move things back."
Father Yang said cheerfully, "Just bring whatever you want."
Yang Chunyan rubbed Dashuang who was eating candy beside her and said, "Dashuang, can you please bring all the meat back home?"
Da Shuang shook his head without hesitation, "No, I can give you and my uncle two pieces of meat, haha!"
Yang Chunyan pouted and looked at him, "Stingy! Auntie is angry!"
Da Shuang glanced at her and hesitated, "Three pieces, if you take any more we'll be gone!"
"Little guy!" Zhou Huaian lifted him up with a smile, "If you're gone, go to your uncle's house to eat."
Da Shuang looked at him, "Can Grandpa and Grandma go too?"
Zhou Huaian smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go eat!"
"Oh!" Dashuang nodded, "Then leave two for mom and old man, and we'll all move out!"
"Hahaha……"
Yang Dongmei laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, "Hehe! He didn't forget to leave two pieces for his mother!"
After the joke, Yang's mother asked Yang Dongmei to take the cured meat to the kitchen, and she took the cloth and pastries and put them away.
Father Yang and Zhou Huaian went to the yard to check on the herbs he planted.
The herbs that were originally planted in the backyard were transplanted into the yard because of the construction of the oven. Some of them grew and some did not.
Yang's mother took the things into the house and put them away, then helped her touch the baby and told her that the pregnancy looked good. She had studied with the midwife in the brigade for a period of time, but had not gone because she had something to do at home.
Yang Chunyan talked to her in the room for a while, and then went to the broad bean field with Yang Dongmei to pick flowers and plants. The tender green flowers and plants can also be fried into a delicious dish.
The flower (Astragalus) has a pleasant fragrance and has the effects of dispelling wind and improving eyesight, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, detoxifying and relieving pain.
Root: used for hepatitis, nutritional edema, leucorrhea, and irregular menstruation.
Whole plant: used for acute conjunctivitis, neuralgia, herpes zoster, boils, carbuncles, and hemorrhoids.
The weather in Yangjiapingzi is a bit colder, and the flowers and plants are at their fresh and tender time. Pinch off the fresh and tender parts, stir-fry over high heat for a few times, or add some lard to the boiling water, boil it, serve it, and dip it in water. It tastes great.
Yang Chunyan looked at Yang Dongmei and asked, "How is your job with Dr. Wang?"
Yang Dongmei smiled and said, "Not bad, I learned a lot!"
Seeing that her expression was the same as before, Yang Chunyan didn't say much, but only reminded her: "Doctor Xiao Wang is well educated. You should learn from him. It will be helpful to you in the future."
"I see!" Yang Dongmei sighed, "After going to see Dr. Wang, I realized that my education level was my shortcoming. I didn't understand a lot of things that Wang Zhen said. He is really nice. He doesn't look down on my low education level and patiently helps me improve my cultural knowledge."
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "Then you have found a good teacher who will not only pay you but also give you free tutoring!"
"Hehe! It's true!" Yang Dongmei walked up to her with a smile, "Sister, Wang Zhen said that your brother-in-law looks lazy, but he is actually a very good person. He also said that you two are a good match, one quiet and the other active."
Yang Chunyan smiled and glanced at her, "Really?"
"Yeah!" Yang Dongmei came forward, "Sister, I used to think that you liked beautiful things since you were a child. You were probably deceived by your brother-in-law because he is good-looking and eloquent. I didn't expect that you can judge people better than me!"
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law is a little slick, but he is not a bad person by nature and is sincere to me, otherwise my mother and husband would not agree to our marriage."
Yang Dongmei thought about it and agreed, "No wonder Wang Zhen said that treating a disease is like doing things. You can't just look at the surface. You have to look through the phenomenon to see the essence, and then you can find the root cause."
"Yes, learn from Doctor Xiao Wang. Although he is young, he knows a lot!"
"I also think he knows more than the teachers in our school." Yang Dongmei said with a smile, "I think he would be very popular if he were to be a teacher in a medical school."
As the two sisters were talking, the basket was filled with flowers and plants. When they got home, Yang Xiaoxue came to find them.
"Chunyan, when are you going back?"
"I'll go back in the afternoon, how about you?"
"We will go back in the afternoon too. We have livestock to feed at home. If we don't go back, no one will take care of them." Yang Xiaoxue sat down with her in the main hall. "As soon as I got home, my grandmother called me to persuade Yang Dan."
"What's wrong with Yang Dan?" Yang Chunyan only remembered that Yang Dan married to Hengshan Town, and she couldn't get along with her at home, and she didn't know her very well.
Yang Xiaoxue pouted and said, "I heard that the man in her family is a soldier in the snowy area and is doing quite well. She was asked to join the army but she thought it was too hard and didn't want to go. If she stayed at home, she said that her sister-in-law and mother-in-law treated her like a servant."
Yang Chunyan thought of the altitude sickness in the snowy area, "She's been there before and couldn't adapt to it. Is it because she's not used to the climate there?"
Yang Xiaoxue: "She has never been there, but she heard from her family that being in the army there is very hard, and that they don't even have vegetables to eat, so she doesn't want to go. Grandma asked us to persuade her to write a letter to her husband after the Chinese New Year to tell him that she is going to join the army. After we persuaded her for a long time, she just lay there and didn't say a word in reply. It was such a waste of words."
Yang Chunyan: "There's really no need to persuade such a person!"
"Yang Hui's partner..."
Before Yang Xiaoxue finished speaking, Yang Hui and Yang Weidong also came over, "What are you two doing hiding in the main room? Come out and play poker."
She laughed and said, "We are talking bad about you. Let's see how we can get you out next year!"
Yang Weidong smiled and said, "Why would we need to send it away? Just pour it out in a basin of water!"
Yang Hui put one hand on her waist and pointed at a few people with the other hand and said, "Great! You guys have lost all manners. Hurry up and put the stools in place for the old man and make some tea..."
Yang Weidong fetched a chair and said, "Come quickly, let's wish our elders a happy new year..."
"Get lost! Do you want to empty my dowry?" Yang Hui smiled and kicked him, "You are only allowed to play poker, not to celebrate the New Year!"
Yang Dongmei came out with a new deck of cards. "Here comes the cards. Do you want to run away quickly or upgrade?"
Yang Weidong raised his hand: "Run fast! The loser will jump like a frog!"
Yang Hui pointed at Yang Chunyan and Yang Xiaoxue and asked, "Do you think they can dance?"
Yang Weidong grabbed Zhou Huaian and Fang Zhiqiang, "If they can't jump, they still have two brothers-in-law!"
Yang Chunyan said with a smile: "Those of you who can jump come, and the two of us who can't jump will just watch from the sidelines."
"That's right!"
Zhou Huaian also loved to play, so he and Yang Weidong carried out the table, and the four of them started playing in the yard.
Yang Weidong caught the three of spades and played first, "Straight, three, four, five, six, seven, eight."
Zhou Huaian, "Sorry, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine are just enough."
Fang Zhiqiang had four double bombs and continued to play cards... In the first round, Zhou Huaian neither lost nor won. Fang Zhiqiang lost two cards and had to jump two frogs, while Yang Hui had to jump four times with four cards.
Yang Weidong stood there smugly, supervising the two men to put their hands behind their backs and honestly finish the dance they lost, and then the four of them continued.
The few of them laughed and played until dinner was served, then went home.
The midday sun was a little hot, so Brother Yang and Zhou Huaian carried the eight-immortals table back to the main room.
The main dishes for Chinese New Year are cured meat, cured chicken, and sausages. Then there are crucian carp with spiced radish and chicken stewed with red mushrooms...
Yang Chunyan looked at the table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and thought that the stir-fried flowers and plants were more delicious, so she ate most of the large plate.
After eating and resting for a while, Father Yang felt her pulse and said, "Don't eat too much at one meal when you go back. It's best to eat small meals frequently so that it's easier to digest."
"You should also eat more fish and lean meat, and less beans that can easily cause bloating. If your legs are a little swollen, eat more diuretic and edema-reducing vegetables such as winter melon and radish."
Zhou Huaian listened carefully and nodded continuously, "We will remember it!"
Father Yang saw how serious he was and looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "The child is very good, a naughty little guy!"
Zhou Huaian said hurriedly: "Old man, this child is very well behaved. Yan'er rarely bothers her since she got pregnant. I saw my sister-in-law and her friends vomit whatever they ate before, but Yan'er never vomited even when she smelled pig intestines. My mother said that he is a child who loves his mother very much!"
"Look, you're protecting me now." Father Yang patted him with satisfaction. "Being good to your child should be good in your heart, not just on the surface. Don't spoil your child just because he is young. You should explain the principles that need to be taught to him clearly."
"Don't think that he can't understand because he's young. I tell you, children are very smart. As soon as they grow up, they can read your expression and test your bottom line step by step. By the time you realize it, the child has been spoiled."
Yang Dongmei said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, the old man and his generation believe that good people are born under the yellow broom!" (End of this chapter)
