Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

There were seven or eight tables set up in the yard, all of which were occupied, but the food had not yet been served.

"Qingqing, come here! Come over here!" Aunt Fu Jiang saw Yang Qingqing and the group of children behind her, and thought that she would need Yang Qingqing's help in the future, so she immediately called her

Yang Qingqing followed the sound and saw that Aunt Tomie's table was almost full, but there were more people at other tables, so she could only go there.

"Aunt Fu Jiang, hello everyone, let's eat later, you guys eat first" Yang Qingqing thought about it and decided to eat later, they could all have their own table

"What do you mean by wait a while? I can tell you have no experience of eating at a banquet. Here, those who wait until the meal is over are the helpers and their families. These are leftovers, there is no meat, and we are just making do with this. You'd better squeeze in here." Aunt Tomie looked at Yang Qingqing and said that it would be no problem for her and the children to join

At this time, Yinping and Yanqin also said that they would eat later with their parents, and let Yang Qingqing take Wenjing and Wenxuan to eat. Even Wenjie was taken over by Yinping.

Suddenly, there was no one behind Yang Qingqing, leaving only Wen Jing, Wen Xuan, Wen Yuan and Wen Qian.

"Okay, excuse me for disturbing you." Yang Qingqing asked the children to sit at the table with Aunt Fu Jiang and the others. However, Yang Qingqing held Wen Qian in her arms because there was no room left, even for a few children.

This place is very different from Yang Qingqing's previous life. At that time, twelve people sitting at a table was considered a lot. Now, the tables are not very big, but basically there are seventeen or eighteen people sitting on each table. It's very crowded. There are twenty people sitting at Yang Qingqing's table, although there are six children. In fact, most villagers who come here don't bring children, but Yang Qingqing and her friends are special. The other two children were brought here because they were young and there was no one to take care of them at home.

The dishes were served soon. There were six dishes in total. Every dish was gone as soon as it was served. There was no second chopsticks at all. Wen Jing and her friends were young, so they didn't even have time to wait for more dishes before the dishes were gone. They ate in vain.

Yang Qingqing quickly picked up a piece of stewed vegetable for Wen Qian and Wen Yuan, which was cabbage, tofu and kelp stew. There was meat but she didn't get it. The next dish was braised radish and potatoes. Yang Qingqing picked up a piece for Wen Xuan and herself, and Wen Jing grabbed some potatoes for herself.

Finally, there were smashed cucumbers, fried eggplants, roasted beans and a mixed tiger skin dish, which was green peppers, onions and coriander. However, each dish was well-oiled, and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Everyone else has left

Wenxuan said, "Aunt, I'm not full yet, and this dish is not as good as what we eat at home. Fortunately, we had some biscuits before. We also gave some to Brother Jianfang and Sister Yinping. You won't be angry, will you?" He thought about the things they took out to entertain guests when they went home before, and they still had to tell their aunt about it. After all, it was bought by her hard-earned money. Food is still so precious now, what if her aunt finds out and gets angry?

"That's okay, Yinping and the others have given you delicious food! You can do it yourselves, auntie has no problem. I bought it for you anyway, you can decide for yourselves. If you don't have it, you can tell me, our family doesn't need it, but the premise is that it can't be wasted." Yang Qingqing felt that it was not a big deal at all, as long as the children were happy, she would not object! She had so many delicious foods in her space, but she didn't give them any to eat, she felt guilty, and now she even cared about this, that was not acceptable. The children were not stupid and generous people, she still believed in them.

Yang Qingqing brought Wen Jing and others to find Zhao Xiaohua and Li Weiling. Seeing that they were busy in the kitchen, they said hello and went home.

When Yang Qingqing got home, she took out five bags of instant noodles from her room.

"You didn't eat enough just now, right? I brought some noodles back earlier. Can we cook some more noodles now? And beat a few eggs. How about one for each of us?"

Yang Qingqing actually took it from the space, just to fool a few kids.

"Aunt, when did you buy it? How come we didn't notice it?" Wenxuan looked at Yang Qingqing and found it unbelievable. Every day when Yang Qingqing came back, she would put her things in the kitchen or the living room. Except when she was sleeping, Aunt would never enter the bedroom. When did she take it?

"I forgot and put it in the kitchen. I took it to the bedroom and didn't have time to eat it later, so I forgot about it. It's a good idea to eat it today."

I'm going to cook noodles. You guys play for a while. It will be ready soon.

When they finished eating, Ma Liyue came over with Ma Jianping, Yinfen and Yinhua.

"Qingqing, my second brother and his wife came to our house to rest. There is no room for them at home, so I brought Jianping and the others over here to see if they can stay for a while." Ma Liyue felt embarrassed. After all, it's not that her house can't accommodate them, they just have to squeeze in. However, Jianping and the others just didn't want to, so she could only bring them over to see.

"It's okay, it's a good opportunity for them to get to know each other. Wenjing, take Yinfen and Yinhua to your room and lie down for a while. Wenxuan and Wenyuan, take Jianping to your rooms, and I'll take Wenqian to my room. Do you think it's okay?" Yang Qingqing was actually quite reluctant to have Jianping and the other kids come home, but since Ma Liyue had spoken, she couldn't refuse. Besides, she could tell from her face that Ma Liyue wasn't happy to get along with these kids either.

"Ok Auntie, I'm fine"

"Okay, we can do this."

Wen Jing and Wen Xuan both agreed, but one could see some hesitation in their expressions.

"Humph, you should be happy. My father and mother are both working, and we all live in a building. Have you ever lived there? If you are not happy, we will despise you." Ma Jianping immediately exploded when he saw Wenxuan's attitude.

When Yang Qingqing saw Wen Yuan was about to return it, she immediately pulled him back and said, "Don't be angry. Wenxuan and the others are either unhappy or not used to it. They welcome you very much." Yang Qingqing could only try to smooth things over, otherwise it would be difficult for Ma Liyue and for her as well.

"Wenxuan, take Jianping in quickly. Wenjing too."

"Humph!"

"Huh! Huh!"

"Huh, huh, huh, do you think we like coming?"

Several people were still humming, but they didn't say anything else. Wen Jing and Wen Xuan didn't say anything either. They led the others into the house.

"Qingqing, don't mind it. They are just spoiled. They don't know how to control their mouths. Wenjing and the others are more obedient. They have to leave soon, so they will only stay here for a short while."

"I understand, sister-in-law. I'm not a child anymore, I understand. Are my second brother and his family leaving in the afternoon? Won't they wait until tomorrow? It's such a rush!" Yang Qingqing felt that Ma Changpo's family was really tired to come back for the wedding. They came here by bicycle, but they didn't expect to have to ride back on the same day.

"There's no other way. My second brother said that the factory is heavy with tasks right now, and they can only take one day off. No more than that. This is the only way." Ma Liyue felt that it was not the factory that didn't give him leave, but Ma Changpo's wife who didn't give him leave. How could they not have to do the task if one person was missing? It sounded so nice.

"Okay, then what time do they leave so I can wake them up?" Yang Qingqing was afraid that everyone would fall asleep and she wouldn't be able to wake them up.

"I don't know. It depends on them. I'll come and call them when we're leaving. You don't have to worry about it. I'll go back first. Don't forget to have dinner at Big Brother's house tonight." Ma Liyue reminded Yang Qingqing before leaving.

Otherwise, Yang Qingqing really wanted to pretend that she had forgotten and not go.
