Seeing Wang Dujuan wavering, Yang Chunxue was anxious. She didn't want Yang Chunxiao to be her maid: "Mother, don't listen to her nonsense. If she dares to steal her husband's money, she dares to steal your money. If you bring her back, you're inviting a wolf into the house, mother."
"My daughter dares not, my daughter dares not. It is precisely because I dare to give my mother-in-law's money that I can prove that I have you in my heart. I have made a mistake once, and I will definitely not do it again. Mother, you believe me."
Wang Dujuan thought about it for a moment and decided that it would be best to take Yang Chunxiao back with her: "In that case, come back with me. If you dare to mess around with me again, I'll break your legs and throw you out on the street."
"Thank you, mother. Thank you, mother. I will do anything to repay you."
Yang Chunxue was unwilling to give in. She pouted and said reluctantly, "Mom."
"What's your name? You want a maid, but there's one ready-made here. You have to spend money to be happy, right? If you want it, this is it. If you don't want it, go back. Don't want any of them."
Yang Chunxue had spent so much time trying to get Wang Dujuan to agree to buy a maid, but Yang Chunxiao messed up everything. She glared at Yang Chunxiao who was cowering behind her with hatred, saying, "You dare to ruin my plan? You'll be in trouble when you get back."
The matter of buying a maid was settled. Even if Yang Chunxue was reluctant, it was useless because the money was managed by Wang Dujuan and she could not touch it.
Yang Yaoguang was not very happy when he knew that Wang Dujuan brought Yang Chunxiao back. The tender little girl he had imagined had turned out to be his blood sister. He was very disappointed.
However, the maid who was taking a nap was very capable and served Yang Yaoguang very comfortably. He was in a good mood and did not care too much about it. He just thought in his heart that at most he could go to the town's red-light district a few more times.
The girls in Hongxianglou were all first-rate in their service skills. Yang Yaoguang was bewitched after just a few visits. He had just gotten up from the maid's bed and immediately walked out of the door to find his lover in Hongxianglou.
Wang Dujuan couldn't control her and was too lazy to care. Anyway, she thought her son was capable, so what was there to be afraid of if there were a few more women around him.
Yang Chunxue entered the room in a huff. Wang Dujuan called out several times but received no response, so she took out her anger on Yang Chunxiao who was standing beside her.
"What are you still standing here for? You have no sense at all. Come over and give me a leg massage. Did I bring you back here just to eat?"
When Yang Chunxiao was brought back, she knew that her life would not be easy. The Liu family and the Yang family were the same, neither of them was a good place to go. She was used to being tortured and had no time to feel sad about the passing of time. She did whatever Wang Dujuan asked her to do, squatted down with her head lowered, and started to beat her legs with just the right strength.
The sun in May was already a little scorching, and the whole village was quiet after noon. Even the women who loved to chatter were unwilling to stay in the shade of the trees for long and went back into the house to avoid the heat.
Yang Donghu and his group were tired and thirsty when they walked back from the town. They had eaten too many rice dumplings with fermented rice in the town and were still bloated. When they got home, they had not digested the food yet and had no appetite. They did not even eat lunch and went to lie down in the house.
The rain a few days ago soaked the vegetable garden, and now with the sun shining for a few days, there are signs of drought again. Zhao Luochuan is in good physical condition, so the journey from the town to the village is no problem at all.
Zhao Luochuan hugged Yang Donghu and lay on the bed for a while. He was too energetic to lie down and could not bear the pile of work. He dozed off in bed for a long time but did not feel sleepy. When he saw that the person in his arms was asleep, he quietly got up and went to fetch water from the river behind the house.
It rained continuously in the past few days, and the water in the river rose a lot. After being exposed to the sun for two days, although the water level receded, some moss grew on the stones by the river, making them a bit slippery to step on.
Zhao Luochuan kicked the mossy stones into the river with his feet, fearing that someone might slip while walking by the river. There were many stones by the river, and falling was no joke.
There were a few snails under the fallen stone, appearing and disappearing with the rippling river surface.
It is said that snails are stuffed into goose around the Qingming Festival. Although it has been more than a month since the Qingming Festival, it is not too late to eat it now. The snails are not as big as they were a month ago, but fortunately the meat is still plump. You can take them home and stir-fry them with chili peppers and eat them with wine.
Zhao Luochuan placed the wooden barrel by the river, rolled up his trouser legs and waded down carefully, feeling carefully at the bottom of the river with his hands.
The lamb legs I brought back have been marinated with the spices I bought. When the sun sets in the middle of the night, I build a bonfire in the yard and roast them over an open flame, sprinkling a handful of cumin on them. The lamb roasted in this way has crispy skin and tender meat, and the juice will overflow when you cut it. The aroma of the barbecue can spread all over the yard.
If there is meat in the evening, you will definitely have a few drinks. Bringing snails home and frying them will also provide you with an extra side dish.
There is not much snail meat, so it is naturally not as popular as the meaty pork. But fortunately, this thing is born in the river, and it doesn’t cost money, so it’s nice to eat it fresh.
It is hot in the summer, and the naughty kids in the village like to soak in the river to cool off. The kids are active and find it fun to touch snails. When they go home, they bring a handful back to give to their mothers, and they don’t get angry even if they are scolded.
In the afternoon, except for Zhao Luochuan, no one was willing to go out in the hot sun. Even the naughty children were kept at home. No one competed with Zhao Luochuan for space, so the work went on much faster.
The more he touched this thing, the more addicted he became. It was not until the water in the wooden barrel overflowed because of the snails that Zhao Luochuan reluctantly stopped.
The river water where the snails live is crystal clear and there is not much mud and sand. Put the snails in a basin, add two drops of oil and let them sit to spit out the sand. After an hour, wash them clean.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing very well. The eggplant seedlings growing on the edge have lost their flowers, and now you can see the round eggplants have grown to the size of eggs.
The cucumber seedlings on the shelf have climbed very high, and the cucumbers hidden under the leaves are about one foot long. Judging from the momentum, they will be ready to eat in two days.
The summer melon seedlings have lush leaves, and the yellow flowers are about to fall off but haven't yet. The leaves are a little wilted due to lack of water.
Eggplant is drought-resistant and should not be watered too much. Zhao Luochuan walked around the eggplant field and watered the other areas thoroughly with a ladle.
Watering the fields made a lot of noise, so Yang Donghu had left the window half open when she slept for fresh air. Now, disturbed by the noise, she got up from the bed with sleepy eyes and went to the yard to look for her husband.
"Why are you watering the plants at this time? Aren't you too hot?" Yang Donghu rubbed his eyes and squinted them, not daring to open them because of the strong light.
The coat that Zhao Luochuan had taken off because he felt too hot was still hanging on the clothes rack. He was only wearing a sweat jacket on his upper body, revealing his two strong arms. The sweat towel tied loosely around his waist set off his well-defined abdominal muscles and strong chest.
The sweat dripping from the forehead left a winding watermark on the body and finally disappeared after sinking into the waistband of the pants.
"Did I wake you? One more bucket of water and we'll be done. Look what's in that pot."
The broad shoulders and narrow waist of the man while he was working revealed a sense of strength. Yang Donghu adapted to the strong light outside, opened his eyes and looked at his man, swallowing his saliva, and had no time to spare to see what was in the basin.
