Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

"Aunt, we are fine with steamed buns. Why did you order dumplings? It costs so much money. It's enough to buy a lot of things."

After Yang Qingqing sat down, Wenxuan began to preach to the little housekeeper.

Generally, when Yang Qingqing spends money, it is for her family members, not just for Wenjing. Even if Wenjing has something on her mind, she won't say it.

She may feel that she has no right to say anything, after all, she is the biggest burden. Or maybe she doesn't want to disappoint Yang Qingqing. Anyway, she never said that Yang Qingqing shouldn't spend money.

Only when it comes to herself, she will feel that it is expensive and refuse Yang Qingqing to spend money. She is also very frugal at ordinary times, but she only asks herself and never asks others.

Yang Qingqing saw all of this, but she had no good solution. She told Wen Jing many times that she was the same as Wen Yuan and the others, but she just wouldn't change.

Yang Qingqing had no choice but to care for her as much as possible. She would always keep everything for her and would not forget her, especially her school supplies. Yang Qingqing would always put them away in advance.

Whoever needs it can take it. She would also remind Wenxuan to pay attention to Wenjing's school supplies and not to change them until she can no longer hold the pen.

"Okay, that's enough for this time. We've already ordered, and we can't return it, so eat without worry. Your aunt is making money now. I can support you. Don't always worry about what to do if you have no money."

"Humph~ I am doing this for this family. I am worried sick about this family."

Wenxuan's sudden remark made Yang Qingqing feel like she had returned to the future.

If she didn't know that Wenxuan couldn't wear it, she would have thought she had met someone from the same hometown.

"That's enough! If you say any more, I'll start crying. My little heart needs your love."

Yang Qingqing wanted to show off, but was interrupted by Sister Wang's shouting.

"Number One, Qingqing, your dishes are ready."

As he spoke, he brought them a plate. However, they ordered a lot, so it was obviously not enough in one go. Yang Qingqing went over to take it.

Wenjing and Wenxuan were asked to fetch other things. It took them three times to get everything.

At this time, everyone eating around was looking at Yang Qingqing's table. They probably had never seen so many orders before, after all, there was only one adult and four children.

Yang Qingqing didn't care at all. She couldn't do anything to them anyway. These were all money and bills obtained legally, not stolen or robbed.

But Wen Jing and the others were obviously a little uncomfortable and were a little afraid to eat it.

"Alright, we didn't steal or rob here, let's eat it quickly! This only happens once every six months, so we have to eat it well and not waste it."

Yang Qingqing's last words were meant for you, so she told them to stop staring at her.

I only eat meat once every six months, so of course I eat more. Although they understand this, they have lost their attention.

Several children also felt that there was nothing wrong with Yang Qingqing's speech.

This is indeed their first time to eat at a restaurant in half a year. Of course they have to eat well.

At the end of the meal, there was still one portion of dumplings and blood sausage and sauerkraut left, and they had eaten all the rest.

Yang Qingqing didn't waste it, she took out the lunch box and packed it up to take away.

The next day, Yang Qingqing was cleaning the house.

I heard Wenxuan and Wenyuan calling outside

"Auntie, Auntie, Auntie, come and have a look. Our village is going fishing today. Can we go and have a look?"

Yang Qingqing didn't hear clearly at first, but only after she left the house did she hear clearly that Wen Jing, Wen Xuan and the others had all run into the yard.

"Aunt, Brother Jianfang said that our village is fishing at the reservoir today. Do you want to go and see? Can we go? We promise we won't get too close, we'll just watch from a distance."

Yang Qingqing looked at the pleading eyes of the few people, and she was also curious about fishing in the Northeast. So she decided to go with them.

"Really? Is it far? Can I see it with you guys?"

"It's not far away. It's at the reservoir at the east entrance of our village. Brother Jianfang took us there in the summer before. We saw people swimming in it."

When Wenxuan heard Wenyuan's words, he felt that it was over. His aunt had repeatedly warned him not to go to the river to play, but now it was exposed, so he immediately explained.

"Aunt, we were just watching from the side. We definitely didn't go into the water. If you don't believe me, ask my sister. We went with Brother Jianfang and Sister Yinping. We just played on the shore for a while."

Yang Qingqing blushed as she watched Wenxuan explain. Although she didn't let them go to the river because she was afraid something might happen to them, she felt distressed when she saw him trying so hard to explain.

"Okay, I'm just worried that you'll be in danger. I can only rest assured if you know how to protect yourself. Auntie believes in you.

Since it’s not far, let’s go together. Didn’t they say when it would start?”

"Aunt, I know. Brother Jianfang said that his father took many people from the village to cast the nets yesterday, and they will lift the nets at noon today. Let's see how many fish we can catch."

"Really? I haven't heard of it. Then we can go later. It's only ten o'clock now, so it must be after twelve o'clock. Let's go after dinner."

"That's fine, but Auntie, I heard that after the nets are drawn, the team will start to divide the fish. Sister Yinping said that the average family in the village can get 30 fish. But I think my family and my second uncle's family should not get any.

Sister Yinping said that the fish from Uncle Er's house last year were all sent by her grandmother. Let's just go and watch the fun. That's all."

Yang Qingqing immediately understood what Wen Jing meant. She didn't want to divide the fish because the fish were for the people working in the village.

Yang Qingqing thought, if she couldn't share them, could she still buy some? If there were any left, she could buy a few and save them for the New Year. The weather would definitely not be bad.

"Wenjing, have you heard your sister Yinping say that someone is buying fish? We can buy it if we can't."

"I don't know! I never thought about buying fish, and I didn't ask."

Yang Qingqing looked at Wen Jing's distressed face and knew that she might be blaming herself for not thinking it through.

But this is not her problem. She doesn't want her to be so cautious all the time. But there is no good way. She can only change the subject as soon as possible and let her stop thinking about it.

"Okay, we'll go over and ask and we'll know. It's not a big deal. If I can afford it, I'll buy a few and we'll have stewed fish tonight, how about that?"

"Great! Long live auntie!"

“Okay”

Every child was so happy that they almost jumped up when they heard that they could eat fish.

When it was time for lunch, no one was in the mood to eat slowly. They all ate their meals in a hurry. They were afraid that they would be slow, so Yang Qingqing didn't go.

Yang Qingqing also had a quick bite, and when it was twelve o'clock, she took the children out.

She thought it would be very cold to go fishing, so she brought a thermos cup with her.

Although it's a little hard to explain, drinking some hot water should warm her up a lot, so she doesn't want to wrong herself.
