Chapter 97： Take a trip to the old house

Chapter 97 A trip to the old house

Jiang Ning assigned the tasks and led the three of them to the storage room.

When the three of them saw those exquisite Ruyi yam cakes, they were all stunned.

Yang Erdan asked in disbelief: "Aniang, did you do all this?"

Jiang Ning nodded with a smile, "You guys were not at home, so I made it by myself. It's called Ruyi Cake. It's a good omen for the New Year. The Osmanthus Cake and Brown Sugar Hair Cake were made this morning. They're still very soft. Your grandpa and grandma should like them. Let’s keep the rice cakes for ourselves.”

The three of them carried their things and went out with a look of aftertaste on their faces. The wishful cake was so delicious, and A Niang could do anything.

Yang Datou arrived at the old house, pushed open the yard and shouted, and soon Old Yang and the others came out.

Li's face looked surprised and a little embarrassed, "Datou, have you just come back?"

“Grandma, my grandma asked me to come over and bring you a fish and some snacks.” Yang Datou said and took the things to the kitchen house.

Seeing the two big fish and the exquisite snacks, Mrs. Li took a breath of air and almost felt distressed, "Your mother-in-law really knows how to spend money! What kind of fish are these? I've never seen them before! It's so big." , It costs a lot of money! And these snacks, tsk tsk tsk. The ones sold in town are not so exquisite, so take them back and keep them for yourself!"

Ms. Li felt sorry for her eldest grandson that it was not easy to make money, so he had to put things back when he started.

Yang Datou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, this fish was given by my boss. It's a basketful of fish caught from the sea. It's very big. I'll give it to you to try. As for these snacks, my grandma made them all by herself. She made them in one go. There’s so much food that I can’t even finish it, and I haven’t spent much money yet!”

“Don’t fool me!” Li Shi feigned anger.

Yang Datou almost swore to the sky.

Only then did Mrs. Li reluctantly believe what he said. She felt a little uncomfortable looking at these things, "Um, Datou, grandma wants to tell you something. It's your second uncle. Hey! It's Fugui's father. You also know that Fugui's father still has feet." It’s not easy, and Da Ya and Er Ya don’t know how to get food for the New Year. Plus, the family really has no money, so I will take their family here to celebrate the New Year, and then send them back to the west of the village on the second day of the Lunar New Year. "

Yang Datou was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, "Grandma, you can just take care of this matter. You don't need to tell me, our family has nothing to do with the second house."

Li felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. She patted Yang Datou on the shoulder and said, "Your father is gone, and grandma is left with your two sons, your second uncle and your third uncle. It's really hard to see their family in such misery. If you feel bad, just say it."

Yang Datou smiled helplessly and said: "Grandma, don't think so much. I understand that the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh. You and Grandpa have done a good job. Don't worry, I'm not unhappy."

After comforting Mrs. Li, Yang Datou returned from the old house. Before leaving, he specially stuffed Mr. Li with two hundred coins, "Grandma, this is my filial piety to you and grandpa. I wish you all the best, health and peace in the new year." "

“Hey! You kid, Grandma didn’t give you a red envelope, but you gave it to me!” Ms. Li wanted to chase her out.

Yang Datou waved his hand, "Grandma, I'm already married. I'm not a child. You don't need to give me a red envelope. Come in, it's cold outside!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Datou rushed into the wind and snow and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Li's eyes were a little red.

Mrs. Zhou took out the pastries from the stove and said, "Auntie, my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really amazing. This brown sugar cake is steamed really beautifully. It's softer, waxier and more chewy than other people's cakes. It doesn't choke your throat. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is so delicious." The fragrance is so strong, it shows that enough ingredients have been prepared, and the wishful cakes are the most exquisite. My sister-in-law filled thirty-six of them at once, and I don’t even know what to give as a gift in return.”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she felt more and more sad, and her resentment towards Mrs. Qian deepened, "Your sister-in-law is living a better life now, and we really can't get anything as good as the good things she gave us. I'm thinking about making some big steamed buns for you." She sent it over. "If Old Man Yang hadn't brought back some fine grains, he wouldn't have been able to make big steamed buns at home.

Zhou nodded and hurried to prepare.

As soon as Yang Datou returned home, he found that Liu Ye and Yang Erdan were both back. Liu Ye brought a big piece of sesame rice cake given by Zhang, which was enough for the whole family to share. Yang Erdan brought four pieces of sesame rice cake. A hare.

Yang Datou was shocked, "Uncle Han is so generous! He actually gave so much??"

"What!" Yang Erdan laughed loudly, "Uncle Han gave us two, and he asked my mother-in-law to help me make the two pepper rabbits for the remaining two. My mother-in-law made it once before, and Uncle Han kept praising him after he tasted it. That dish goes well with not only food but also wine. During the Chinese New Year, he invited Tian Feng to come over to have a meal and have a few sips. "

Yang Datou looked stunned.

While talking, Jiang Ning came back with Yang Santie and the others, with a lot of winter bamboo shoots in their backpacks, and said excitedly: "I thought this trip was going to be in vain, but I didn't expect there were so many winter bamboo shoots in the mountains! It's really developed now, I asked the three Tie helped and made two baskets, enough for us to eat for several days."

“Auntie, isn’t this bamboo? How to eat it?” Liu Ye was very curious.

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that their area was rich in products and there were a lot of edible things in the mountains. Maybe no one had ever tried eating bamboo shoots, so he simply said something and went straight to make a winter bamboo shoots and pork ribs soup for everyone.

By the way, some rice cakes were fried, some were topped with brown sugar water, and some were sprinkled with pepper and salt. Several people couldn't stop eating.

Especially Yang Xiaoya, this child is at the age where she likes sweets. She couldn't walk when she saw the brown sugar water rice cake. She took one bite at a time and soon the bowl was full.

Jiang Ning quickly stopped, "Stop eating! I won't be able to eat anymore at night."

That's when everyone stopped.

Yang Sizhuang offered his treasure and said: "Brother and sister-in-law, I know many words now. Brother Feng also praised me for my special talent. I will recite the "Three Character Classic" to you at the beginning of human life."

Yang Datou and Liu Ye were dumbfounded. When Yang Sizhuang finished reciting it, they clapped wildly, regardless of whether he recited it correctly or not.

Yang Datou said excitedly: "Auntie, have you found a good husband for Sizhuang and them?"

Jiang Ning sighed, "No! We don't have anyone suitable here, and I'm worried. I heard that there are eight scholars in our county, and the ones nearby are not very good."

Yang Datou hurriedly said: "If you haven't decided yet, you can consider Lin Xiucai from Songxi Town."

“You know?” Jiang Ning’s hand movements paused and he looked over hopefully.

Yang Datou pondered: "I also had a drink with Shopkeeper Hua last night when I was cooking. Shopkeeper Hua said that Lin Xiucai from Songxi Town is knowledgeable and hard-working. He is less than 20 years old and has a bright future. "

“You will become a scholar when you are less than twenty!” Everyone, including Jiang Ning, covered their mouths in shock.
