There was a piece of meat at home, which Yang's mother had been reluctant to eat, thinking that her daughter might come back one day, so she had been pickling it. Unexpectedly, the daughter would really come back after all her anticipation, so fortunately she didn't eat it.

Today, the piece of meat finally came in handy. There was only so much meat, and we had to make dumplings for eleven people, including the eight people in Xiuying's family, Yang's mother, Yang's father, and Yang Qingfeng. It was naturally impossible to fill them all with meat.

Yang's mother is mainly responsible for preparing the filling. She cooks the corn, lets it cool, and mixes it with some meat. She also cuts the cabbage into shreds and mixes it with some meat. This way, there are two fillings.

There is a bag of lard residue left over from making lard at home. Chop the lard residue into small pieces and mix it with the vegetables.

This way you have three fillings.

Mother Yang looked at the 100 eggs Xiuying brought, beat ten eggs, and stir-fried them with some shredded vegetables, so that she had four fillings.

Yang's mother was mixing the stuffing, Xiuying was kneading the dough, listening to Yang's mother's nagging.

"Don't bring so many things next time, you hear me?"

Xiuying kneaded the dough and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll bring you whatever delicious food we have at home. I came in a hurry this time and brought a few girls with me so I didn't want to make any mistakes on the way. Otherwise, I would have brought you some chickens and ducks."

Yang's mother's wrinkles deepened when she smiled. Upon hearing that her son-in-law had lost his way on the battlefield and her daughter was suffering in her husband's home, she asked Yang Kui to take her son and drive an ox cart to bring her daughter back. However, she did not expect that she would be scolded by her daughter and even driven out.

Now look at her daughter. After the separation, not only has her life improved, but she has also become a better person. She can distinguish right from wrong and can care for others. In short, her daughter is the best.

"Mother, sister, what delicious food are you making?"

Yang Qingfeng and Yang Kui walked in one after another. They couldn't take their eyes off the four fillings prepared by Yang's mother in the basin.

"Old woman, are you finally willing to eat that piece of meat?"

"There are actually four fillings. I'm in for a treat today."

Mother Yang glanced at Father Yang, who was really talkative, and turned to her son and said, "Then you should eat more today."

A few little kids came over when they saw their uncle.

"uncle."

"uncle."

"uncle."

Several little ones circled around Yang Qingfeng.

Yang Qingfeng pinched the more than one hundred copper coins in his purse that he had saved from writing letters for others these days. When he left last time, he said that he would buy food for his nieces when he earned money.

"Come on, let's go for a walk on the street with uncle. It's very lively today because of the market."

Yang Xiuyin glanced at Taohua who was helping out and said softly, "Taohua, you should go shopping too."

Xiuying placed a purse in Taohua's hand and said, "There are twenty coins in this and one ounce of silver. If you and your sisters see anything you want to eat on the street, just buy it."

Taohua looked at her loving mother with her sparkling eyes, holding the purse in her hand and said excitedly, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my sisters."

A Niang actually gave them pocket money, she was so happy.

Mother Yang also warned Yang Qingfeng: "There are many people at the market, you must keep an eye on them."

Her granddaughters were so pretty, what if they ran into bad people? But since they had finally gotten out, why couldn't they go out for a walk?

"Mom, don't worry. Even if I lose myself, I won't lose your precious granddaughters."

Yang's father followed them out of concern. Yang Qingfeng looked gentle and refined, but he looked easy to bully. Yang's father looked rough, and was particularly eye-catching when walking with them.

There were many people in the market, so the father and son took turns to protect the seven little radishes.

Walking up to the stall selling candied haws, Yang Qingfeng asked, "Would you like some candied haws?"

Several children looked at the red fruits wrapped in sugar, their mouths watering with greed.

"think."

"think."

Yang Qingfeng bought seven strings of candied haws for two cents each and gave one string to each of his nieces.

The seven little radishes were very happy holding the candied haws in their hands. They smelled them first and then licked them. They were reluctant to eat such a beautiful fruit, so they just licked it, added the sugar coating on the outside and then slowly bit the fruit inside.

"You good-for-nothings, you can't even keep an eye on a person! What's the point of me raising you?"

A top female voice came

A few people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gorgeously dressed woman beating and scolding several servants who were accompanying her. The woman was holding a long horsewhip in her hand and her brows were furrowed. Although she was beautiful, there was a ferocity in her eyes.

Several servants knelt on the ground and trembled. The woman raised her whip and hit them, cursing, "If you can't find the young master, you will all be sold!

"What are you still standing here for? Go find him! Even if you have to turn Yangliu Town upside down, you must find the young master for me today!"

As soon as the words fell, the servants who accompanied her dispersed, leaving only an old nanny by the woman's side.

The servants' shouts echoed throughout the market.

"Master!"

"Master!"

……

The Yang family father and son stood in front of a candied haws stall with a few small radishes.

"This woman is so grand."

The vendor selling candied haws said casually, "That's the concubine of Duobaolou. This must be the young master of Duobaolou who has run away again. The son of a wealthy family is naturally precious."

Yang Qingfeng wanted to say that no matter which family a child came from, they were all precious. He meant the attitude of a woman towards things. But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Less trouble is worse than more. A scholar encountering a soldier would have a hard time explaining his reason, not to mention that he was just a student.

The vendor continued, "They've been living a good life for so long that they're now going through hardship. The young master of Duobaolou has been lost countless times. Young men from wealthy families are simply spoiled and don't know the hardships of life."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingfeng said softly, "Whether they are the sons of wealthy families or children from poor families, they are all treasures of their parents. What parent wouldn't love their own children?

Although I was anxious because the child was lost, I shouldn't take my anger out on the servants.

Judging from the concubine's temper, she is usually very strict with the young master at home. Perhaps the young master wants to go out for some fresh air and will return in a few days."

The crowd in front of the candied haws stall nodded in agreement when they heard what Yang Qingfeng said. Then, looking at the scholar's gown Yang Qingfeng was wearing, they felt that what he said made more sense.

Yang Kui, who was standing behind Yang Qingfeng, straightened his back unconsciously. He felt that he had made the right decision to let his son learn to read and write.

The seven little radishes continued to stroll around the market under the guidance of their uncle and grandfather.

There were all kinds of snacks for sale in the market, as well as some rare things. Several little girls looked curiously at the various things displayed on the stalls on both sides of the street.

Yang Qingfeng had a total of one hundred coins. He just spent fourteen coins on buying candied haws for his nieces, and had eighty-six coins left. He usually didn't want to spend a penny, but he was very generous to these nieces.
