Chapter 175: Rats Don’t Want Too Much Food
As soon as Yang Daya left, the whole family burst into laughter.
Cheng Yang said: "My little sister is really good. If I wasn't a man, I would have beaten her to a pulp!"
Not only is he a man, he is also a junior and they live in the same village. If things get out of hand, the head of the village will have to come and talk to him, making it difficult for him to do anything.
Father Cheng glanced at him and said, "Of course your little sister is the best, you..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? What happened to my son? If it weren't for you, Yang Daya would be so rampant. It's all because of you!"
Father Cheng was pinched by Wu halfway through his words. Everyone knew that Yang Daya had fancied this old man when she was young, but it didn't work out because of the opposition of her parents-in-law.
"Oh, there are so many people here! Give us some face." Father Cheng begged for mercy carefully.
This was Yang Daya's one-sided wish. How could she deliberately blame him? Not to mention that his parents were against it, he himself didn't like Yang Daya!
Wu glared at her and had to let go. She would teach him a lesson in the evening!
Everyone knew how the old couple got along, and they laughed secretly when they saw it. Lai Xing and Lai Wang were dumbfounded. Is the lady's mother so tough?
"Meet the old man, the old lady, my uncle, my aunt, and my cousin!"
They didn't perform the ceremony yesterday because they were far away, and now there's this commotion, so they have to make up for it quickly.
Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu had never been called like that before. Although they knew that these were servants bought by Cheng Yue, they just couldn't get used to it.
Bie said awkwardly: "We are all farmers, why call each other master or madam? Just follow Xiao Lin and call them master or madam."
Lai Xing and Lai Wang were terrified. How could they follow the young master to call for help? That would be an act of usurpation!
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don't scare them. It's just a name. Just respond to whatever they call you."
Lai Xing and Lai Wang are very sensible. They must abide by all the rules, so we have no choice but to follow them. When people get along with each other, they do whatever makes them feel comfortable.
Besides, her family business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and there will not only be two servants, Lai Xing and Lai Wang. It is impossible for everyone to call their parents grandma and grandpa when they see them.
Chengfu Wu and Chengyang Liu looked at each other, smiled and nodded.
Cheng Yue wondered, "By the way, why didn't I see Xiaojun? Isn't the academy closed for the holiday?"
Liu smiled and said, "Except for the busy farming season and the New Year, he doesn't take holidays during minor festivals. Even if he does, he won't go home for a few days. He needs to study hard!"
"No wonder. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back. Just study hard. I'll visit him at the academy some other day and get him some good food."
Cheng Yue thought, since they were in the same county and lived close to each other, she had been busy with business for a while and had really forgotten about Cheng Jun.
Cheng Yang touched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "Then I'll trouble you, little sister!"
They do have time, but they are afraid that the clothes will not be dressed properly and will embarrass their children. Although Cheng Jun does not think so, they, as parents, always consider more.
"What's the trouble? Xiaojun is my nephew. Come on, let's stop talking and unload the things first!"
After Cheng Yue finished speaking, she lifted the cloth on the ox cart, which was filled with rice, flour, vegetables, and rice dumplings and pastries.
Liu's mouth twitched, and she felt distressed. "Little sister, why did you take so many things again? We haven't finished the rice and noodles from last time!"
The food has been given out for a long time, but a family of five or six has not finished eating it. It is obvious that they are reluctant to eat refined rice and white flour. They are used to eating coarse grains.
Cheng Yue said helplessly: "I will bring food every time I come. If you don't want to eat it, I will give it to the mice! Mice don't mind too much food."
Wu laughed and scolded, "You little girl! There's really nothing we can do about you. We didn't say we wouldn't eat."
In the past, when their daughter gave them things, they always felt bad and didn’t want to accept them. Now they have completely understood that if their daughter can afford to give, it means she is living well and has enough.
Not only do they, as parents, love their children, but their children also love and are filial to them.
Chen An smiled and hurried to move the rice and flour. Wu stopped him and directed Cheng Yang, "You go!"
Cheng Yang curled his lips, "It's true that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she is! The son-in-law is fragrant, and I, as a son, am smelly."
But having said that, he also knew that his mother loved her brother-in-law so much just because she wanted him to be nicer to his younger sister.
Liu slapped him, "Why are you so talkative!"
Now everyone laughed again, Cheng Yue said: "Don't worry about them, let them move together!
There are also rice dumplings and cakes here, which are perfect for today's festival. Mother, sister-in-law, you can also take these dishes to the kitchen and cook them in the evening."
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Liu came forward, their eyes full of surprise, "What kind of dishes are these? I've never seen them before!"
They were still wondering, there was no shortage of vegetables in the vegetable garden, so why did Cheng Yue pull a basket of vegetables over? It turned out that they were all rare vegetables?
Cheng Yue introduced them one by one, and then said: "I have the vegetable seeds as well, you can plant some in the yard to change the taste."
"That's great!" This dish looked very delicious. Mrs. Wu said, "It's a good opportunity to send some to your second and third uncles as well."
Cheng Yue thought of her second and third uncles, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, so she said, "Let's ask them to come over for dinner tonight!"
Her father was the eldest son, with only two younger brothers. The brothers had a very good relationship. When they were young, her second uncle and third uncle were also very kind to her and her eldest brother.
However, the second aunt is a bit stingy, and the third aunt is a nagging person. The second and third uncles know their limits and are afraid of affecting family harmony, so since the family split up, they haven't had much contact with her father and only say hello when there is something.
Father Cheng was naturally happy, "Okay, okay, I'll call them over in the evening!"
The three brothers had never eaten together except during the Chinese New Year. They were blood relatives, so they couldn't stop communicating with each other just because of their two wives.
Mrs. Wu was a little dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything. She just said to Father Cheng: "My daughter is worried about you!"
Forget it, everyone has shortcomings. Fortunately, those two brothers and sisters are not bad people. It doesn’t matter if they are a little stingy and gossipy.
Father Cheng puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, my daughter must love her father!"
Wu didn't bother to pay attention to him. She took the rice dumpling cake and said with a smile, "This thing is delicious. We ate it up that night when you gave it to us last time."
My daughter said that this thing would easily go bad if left alone, and she was worried even if she hung it in the well. They were afraid of wasting it, so they finished it overnight.
Apart from feeling a little bloated, the taste was absolutely amazing.
After the family finished moving their things, the men were chatting and laughing in the yard, while Chen Lin and the other children were picking up stones in the yard, and Wu, Cheng Yue and Liu went into the kitchen to busy themselves.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat, all of which were hearty dishes. Cheng Yue was the chef, with Wu and Liu helping her.
Father Cheng took a look, got up happily and went out. After a while, the families of Uncle Cheng II and Uncle Cheng III came over.
As soon as Aunt Cheng San arrived at the front door, she stretched her neck and sniffed, "Mom, big brother, what delicious food did your family cook? It smells so good!"
