In this era, materials are relatively scarce, and there are not as many kinds of food for Chinese New Year as in later generations. Most of the food for Chinese New Year is made by oneself.Therefore, every half a month before the Chinese New Year, every household is basically slowly preparing for the Chinese New Year.

When she came back after the new year, Yu Qing was busy making all kinds of food, some of which she knew but didn't know how to cook, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to make them with the nanny at home.

A village not far from the villa is full of smoke every day, and the people in the village have smiles on their faces every day, preparing for the New Year.

Aunt Qiu asked: "Qingqing, I heard that people in the village are pounding rice cakes every day. I see there is a bag of glutinous rice in the kitchen. Do you want our family to pound some?"

There are four children in the family including Qiao Jun, plus the large area of ​​the villa they live in now, Han Xue and Yu Qing can take care of the four children and take care of the whole villa, so they are too busy.

So this time Yu Qing hired two nannies in the provincial capital, one is Aunt Qiu, 45 years old, her family lives in the provincial capital, her son and daughter are working in other places, her husband has not retired yet, and she retired last year to do nothing at home, So she came out to find this job, and she is very satisfied with the job so far.

The other nanny is Shi Lu, who is about the same age as Aunt Qiu. She is called Aunt Lu at home. She is from a county below the provincial capital. She was forced to be laid off due to the closure of the factory. She had to come to the provincial capital to seek a job for her family's livelihood.

"Aunt Qiu, the village is five or six miles away from us, how do you know that they are making glutinous rice cakes in their village?" Yu Qing was just curious about how she was so well informed.

Aunt Qiu explained: "In a village like this near the provincial capital, there are more or less daughters in the village who marry into the city. Yesterday I met a lesbian who married into our family area outside. She told me that her natal family is from this village."

Yu Qing suddenly realized, and said joyfully, "Oh, that's a good relationship. I can't wait to get people in the village to help make some glutinous rice cakes. The bag of glutinous rice in the kitchen weighs [-] catties. You can make it all."

Aunt Qiu said happily, "Okay, I'll go there after breakfast."

There is a lot of glutinous rice cakes to make, and it is really impossible to do it without help at home. People in the countryside here use the oldest method to make glutinous rice. It takes three big men to work together to finish the smashed and steamed glutinous rice, let alone pound it. The rotten glutinous rice should be divided into small lumps in the shortest time, and then kneaded into glutinous rice cakes.

In rural areas, most of the families making glutinous rice cakes are made together with several good friends.

Thirty catties of glutinous rice can be steamed to make more than 50 catties and more than 100 pieces of glutinous rice cakes.

Yu Qing asked the nanny to make a lot of fish balls, meat balls and radish balls.Both the meatballs and glutinous rice cakes were shared, and she drove them to the Ruan family.

After parking the car at the door of the Ruan family's small villa, he heard a man's voice faintly coming from the living room.

Walking into the courtyard, the voice became clearer, a deep and mellow male voice that Yu Qing had never heard before.

"Auntie, who's here?" Yu Qing just came in when she bumped into Shi Huilan who was squatting at the door arranging her shoes.

Shi Huilan looked up and found that it was Yu Qing, she smiled pleasantly and said, "Oh, Qingqing is here, come in, come in, it's cold outside, right?"

"Fortunately, I drove here." Yu Qing handed the bag she was carrying to Shi Huilan, and then bent down to change her shoes.

The family sitting in the living room chatting stopped when they heard the movement at the door.

Mr. Ruan craned his neck to look at the door: "Miss Qing is back?"

"Yes, Grandpa, I am here."

Shi Huilan carried the bag and signaled Yu Qing to sit in the living room: "I'll bring the bag in, and you go to accompany your grandpa and the others first."

Yu Qing smiled at Shi Huilan, pulled on her slippers and entered the living room: "Who's here at home?"

Ruan Xiuhua waved to her: "Qingqing, come quickly and meet your uncle."

"Uncle?"

Yu Qing scanned the living room with her eyeliner, and pulled out a man who was sitting upright from the crowd of men. He had a tall and straight figure, a resolute face, and sharper eyes.

Especially his sharp eyes, just lightly swept over her body, just like taking an X-ray in a hospital, as if all the dark sides had nothing to hide in front of him.

She raised the corners of her lips and greeted with a polite smile: "Hi uncle!"

Ruan Xiujie glanced at Ruan Xiuhua who was smiling like a fool, then at Old Man Ruan who was smiling and squinting, then turned around and nodded to Yu Qing: "Come and sit down."

Yu Qing smiled: "When did uncle come back?"

Mr. Ruan glanced at his eldest son, smiled and joked: "I came back last night, we were talking about you, and you came here. It's good to be here, just to meet your uncle, so that I don't know if I meet you on the road in the future." It's uncle and nephew."

Yu Qing met Ruan Xiujie's scrutinizing gaze, and shook her head: "That can't be done. Uncle is dignified. He looks like grandpa when he was young. Anyone may admit his mistake, but uncle will never admit his mistake."

"Ha ha!"

Mr. Ruan was amused. Looking at his eldest son, he was indeed the most similar to himself.

Yu Qing asked again: "You just mentioned me, what did you say about me?"

As soon as she said this, the three of the Ruan family's four King Kongs all blinked wildly at her.Yu Qing was stunned by the shock from their eyes.

what happened?

When Ruan Xiujie heard this, the corners of his mouth that had just raised slightly drooped again, and he turned his head and glanced at the Ruan Zheng brothers beside him.

He said with a look of hatred: "What else can I say, you are married and have three children, but your eldest brother, second brother and third brother don't even have a date, and you don't want me and your grandma to hug grandson Xuan." grandson."

Ruan Zheng and the other two grown-up brothers were very helpless.

Yu Qing stuck out her tongue at the three brothers of the Ruan family, she was not to blame for this, and she didn't know that she had broken into a real-life marriage urging scene.

Ruan Xiuhua patted Ruan Zheng on the shoulder. Regarding the marriage, he supported the eldest brother, "Big brother is right, you guys are not young anymore, it's time to think about lifelong affairs."

Yu Qing looked at the frowns of her brothers and asked with a smile: "Uncle, what kind of partner do you want my brothers to find? Are you looking for a foreigner or a local? Is there any requirement?"

Ruan Xiujie: "I don't ask for it, as long as it's human."

Yu Qing: "."

She thought for a while and asked again: "If you don't help check, what if you find something wrong?"

Ruan Xiujie glanced at his sons, and said solemnly: "Marriage is a matter of their own life. For me, it's fine as long as I don't find a goblin to come back."

ummm
What should Yu Qing do if she really wants to laugh out loud?
She suspects that uncle is a master of jokes!

However, this should be because the uncle and the elders in the family are really anxious. After counting, the eldest brother is already in his twenties, and he is considered an older youth in this era.

Shi Huilan took the bag to the kitchen. She came out and heard what everyone said, and then complained to her husband: "I don't understand what these children think now? You have not been at home these years, and the children are also very nervous." Don't listen to my opinion, this time you come back and take good care of them."

Ruan Zheng pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling quite a headache and didn't know how to deal with it.

Shi Huilan became angry when she saw her son's reckless appearance: "Don't look like you have a headache, as long as you get married and start a family, we all don't have to have a headache."

She didn't know why her sons didn't want to get married. "What's your classmate's name? They've all been married twice, but what about you?"

Ruan Qiang pouted: "He got married and left again, why is that necessary? It's completely nonsense!"

Shi Huilan was so angry that her chest hurt: "Why are you messing around? He left and got married, which can only show that there are many benefits to getting married."

Ruan Qiang didn't take it seriously, and insisted on his point of view: "Marriage is the tomb of love. I haven't even talked about a relationship yet. I won't get into the tomb of marriage as you wish."

Yu Qing looked at Ruan Qiang in surprise, she didn't expect that the third brother could keep up with the trend of thought.

Now that late marriage and late childbearing have just been advocated, the elder brothers have followed through on it. I don't know how the uncle will react?

As soon as she thought this way, her uncle's cold words came: "Even if marriage is a tomb, it is better than your corpses in the wilderness!"

The fathers were in a stalemate, and the old man Ruan leaned into Yu Qing's ear and whispered, "Girl Qing, brighten your eyes and find some lesbians for your brothers."

"what?!"

Yu Qing looked at the old man in horror: "Master, is there still my business here?"

Mr. Ruan nodded: "It's your duty to find a partner for your brother!"

The women of the house set the meals.

Shi Ping yelled for everyone to eat.

Yu Qing seemed to be pardoned, she stood up and happily called everyone to eat.

"Eat, eat first, let's talk about something after eating, things can always be resolved slowly."

As she spoke, she helped old man Ruan: "Grandpa eat first."

Mr. Ruan stood up and didn't say anything else.

Yu Qing was really afraid that they would discuss the matter of her brothers looking for a partner after dinner, and she was even more afraid of entrusting this difficult task to her.

After the meal, she bid farewell to the Ruan family without stopping, saying she was afraid that Da An and Xiao An would not see her and wanted to find her.

She drove out of the gate of the compound before letting out a sigh of relief.

When I came to the Ruan family before, I had never heard of family members urging marriages. This time it was really a coincidence that my uncle came back and mentioned the marriages of several brothers.

Frightened, Yu Qing returned home as if fleeing, but just as she got home, she saw Xiang Yisen standing at the door of the villa with Zhuzhu in her arms to welcome her.

"Comrade Xiang, when did you come back?"

The corners of Xiang Yisen's mouth turned up slightly, his starry eyes filled with Yu Qing's shadow: "I came back at noon."

Yu Qing walked up the steps, Xiang Yisen put one arm around her waist: "Go in, it's cold outside."

Yu Qing pinched Zhuzhu's cheek, and nestled in his arms, and the family of three entered the door.

"Mom, dad is mine." Xiao Zhuzhu shrugged her nose to express her dissatisfaction. She hadn't been hugged enough when her dad came back, and now her mom came up to her.

"Well, it's Zhuzhu's."

Yu Qing withdrew from Xiang Yisen's arms and took Xiao An from the nanny's arms, "Mom hugs brother."

Her provocative behavior got Xiao Zhuzhu a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

Han Xue laughed and said, "Hehe, this little girl is quite imposing."

Seeing her arrogant appearance, Yu Qing and Xiang Yisen looked at each other and smiled.

The family in the villa is warm and happy, but someone always interrupts this warm situation.

"Why is Uncle Zhou here?"

The sudden visit of the boss of the Zhou family made Yu Qing and his wife a little confused about how to entertain him.

Seeing the surprised look of the family, the boss of the Zhou family smiled embarrassingly: "Excuse me, I came to see you last time, but unfortunately I didn't see you in person."

Yu Qing raised her eyebrows, she knew he was talking about the second day of the housewarming last time, the one she avoided seeing.

"Come and sit, Uncle Zhou."

People have already come to the door, and escaping is not a matter.

It's just unexpected that the boss of the Zhou family came to the door on the 29th day of the new year.

The nanny brought tea, and the boss of the Zhou family hurriedly took off his gloves, took a few sips of hot tea, took off his scarf and hat, and said, "You guys live here is a bit far from the city, so I don't think you can drive here. Come here by bicycle." It's freezing me to death. But your house is really warm, is the air conditioner turned on?"

Yu Qing looked at him in surprise: "Uncle Zhou knows about air conditioners?"

"I know, some customers persuaded me to buy an air conditioner from abroad and install it in the restaurant, saying that when it is turned on, it can keep warm in winter and cool in summer." The boss of the Zhou family chuckled: "However, without money, everything is empty talk."

Hearing Qian, Yu Qing raised her eyebrows, and sat by the side in leisure time, waiting for the boss of the Zhou family to speak.

Seeing that Yu Qing and his wife didn't answer his words, the boss of the Zhou family looked at Xiang Yisen who was playing with Zhuzhu, and then at Yu Qing who was holding her son.

After hesitating for a while, he still mustered up the courage to say: "This time I came here to ask my niece to borrow some money."

Yu Qing smiled, she guessed correctly, the boss of the Zhou family is just here to borrow money.

Seeing that Yu Qing smiled, the boss of the Zhou family thought there was something going on, so he hurriedly assured him: "Girl Qing, don't worry, I'm the most trustworthy person, and I borrow and repay. The 1000 yuan I borrowed from you last time was a lot of money as scheduled. I will pay you back. I asked you to borrow money this time, and I promise to pay you back within one year."

Yu Qing thought about her wording a bit: "Uncle Zhou, it was not you who borrowed money from me last time, but Aunt Zhou who asked me to borrow the money. My money is equivalent to being lent to her, not you."

So lending her and you are two different things.

Yu Qing was really worried about skipping Zhou Jingfang and lending it to the boss of the Zhou family.She doesn't need the boss of the Zhou family to owe her favors, what she cares about is Zhou Jingfang's attitude?

If Zhou Jingfang is ignored, what is the relationship between her and the boss of the Zhou family?It's a relationship that can't be done in eight lifetimes. Does she have to worry about saving face and lend him money?
The smile on the face of the boss of the Zhou family froze for a moment: "My borrowing is not the same as your Aunt Zhou borrowing. She borrowed money for me, and I will pay it back."

Yu Qing shook her finger: "No, no, it's very different."

As she said that, she sighed: "29 You still came here to borrow money. It must be because you are really having a hard time this year. How about it? Let me ask my dad and aunt Zhou first to see what they say? My dad agrees with me to borrow it, so if I don’t say anything else, I’ll tighten my belt to live, and I’ll chip in and lend it to you.”

"Hey~, no need, don't be so troublesome." The boss of the Zhou family wanted to stop it.

Xiang Yisen didn't give him time to stop him, he just made a phone call, and the Ruan family was connected quickly.

Ruan Xiuhua heard that the boss of the Zhou family was at the villa, so he drove over within half an hour after putting down the phone.

As soon as he entered the door, he questioned: "Brother, Chinese New Year is coming soon, why did you come to Qingqing's place!"

Many people followed behind him, including Uncle Ruan, Ruan Zheng and Zhou Jingfang.
