Mrs. Sun and the fifth aunt were talking about third cousin Chen Jinhong.

Sun said: "This niece-in-law, it only took ten days for them to return to Lao Yang's house. Counting today, I have only met her three times."

"I used to think that she was shy and timid, but now I see her helping us serve meals. Her hands and feet are really flexible, and she seems to be friendly and easy to get along with."

Hearing Sun's words, Bao Suyun also smiled and said: "The Jinhong people are really good. My Dabao and Mianmian went to play in their room in the front yard, and she even gave them snacks."

"When I went to the backyard to use the toilet, everyone greeted me when I met him. He is a very friendly person," she said.

Sun said: "If Jin Hong is easy to get along with, then our sister-in-law can be considered blessed."

Bao Suyun nodded: "Yes, our sister-in-law suffered hardships in the first half of her life, and in the second half of her life she hopes that her daughters-in-law will honor her well and let her enjoy a few years of happiness."

Sun said: "Not only the elder sister-in-law, but also the eighth sister is also good-tempered. She always regards losses as blessings."

"Jin Hong and her are sisters-in-law. They are both good friends. They will get along better in the future. Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous!"

The two women were talking there. They seemed to have a good impression of this new member and had good expectations.

Yang Ruoqing didn't interrupt, but sat aside and listened quietly.

This was the first time she had met this third cousin-in-law today, and she was not familiar with her at all.

She generally doesn't give random comments to people she doesn't know well.

I sat with my mother and fifth aunt for a while, listening to them chatting and going about their daily routine. Unknowingly, the sun outside turned to the west.

Bao Suyun stood up and left, but Sun persuaded him to stay.

"You can eat at my place at night, so you don't have to go back to cook. It's all ready-made meals for noon. You can just throw some firewood into the stove later," said Sun.

Bao Suyun smiled and shook his head: "No need. Both the adults and the children were full at noon. When I go back at night, I can just grab some rice and boil some porridge. It won't be a bother."

"Okay, then it's up to you." Sun said.

Sun and Yang Ruoqing escorted Bao Suyun's mother and third brother out of the courtyard together, and the mother and daughter also turned around and returned to the courtyard.

"The baby is still sleeping?" asked Sun.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I don't know. According to her usual routine, it will probably take half an hour before she wakes up."

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Okay, then I will cook dinner later. The glutinous rice is almost soaked. I will grind the glutinous rice into pulp first."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Mom, let me help you, let's grind together."

Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September. To make chrysanthemum cake, one of the ingredients is glutinous rice.

"Mom, did you give the chrysanthemum cake molds I brought back to the fifth aunt and the others?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Mrs. Sun said: "I sent it out this morning. They liked the mold so much when they saw it. I complimented you and said that you are still thinking about them."

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "It's just a little thing, it's nothing."

While they were chatting and joking, the mother and daughter had arrived at the tofu room in the side yard. This was the special area for making tofu at home, and there was a stone mill parked there.

Yang Ruoqing was grinding, and Mrs. Sun used a long-handled spoon to scoop out a spoonful of water and put the glutinous rice into the grinding hole of the stone mill.

Then with the help of the powerful grinding force of the stone mill, the solid water glutinous rice was crushed, mixed with water, and slowly flowed out of the stone nest in liquid form, and then dripped into a wooden barrel placed at the bottom.

The mother and daughter were working and doing household chores at the same time.

Sun said to Yang Ruoqing: "After your brother Da'an came back from Qing'an County, your father and I didn't dare to ask him about his grades for fear of putting a burden on his heart."

"There has been no news these days. I wonder how he did in the exam!" Mrs. Sun said.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing's eyebrows moved.

Man Da Man Suan, Daan is thirteen years old this year, Man Da Man Suan has been attending school for three years.

After this fall, Da'an and his aunt's Dajie went to take the hospital examination together.

Da'an and Dajie had both taken the child test before, and they were two standard children.

Now after taking the academy examination, if they pass, they will be promoted to scholar.

Scholars can also be called students. They are truly qualified to take the scientific examination and are the first step in the long march.

This first step is very important, but also difficult to take.

My cousin studied for more than ten years before finally passing the examination as a scholar.

The late uncle Yang Huaan was still a child for most of his life.

Of course, there may not be even one academic master like Mu Zichuan among ten thousand people.

"Since I came back from fighting, even though I had the opportunity to be alone with Da'an, I didn't ask." Yang Ruoqing said while pushing the envelope.

"Ask him, he won't be able to tell."

"Let's wait patiently for the results. Judging from my eldest brother's experience in taking the college entrance examination, the results should only be available this month."

"We will know when the results come out, don't ask," Yang Ruoqing said.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Okay, then I won't ask."

"Qing'er, what will you do if neither of your two brothers succeeds in becoming a scholar this time?" asked Sun again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Mom, you must have this kind of mentality."

"If it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it three times. They are still young and have late enlightenment. They will take the exam this year just to test the waters."

Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Sun felt that it made sense.

"Well, let's just think of it as a test of the water. One year is not enough for two years, and two years is not enough for three years. Anyway, our family will spend all our money to support his education," the woman said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, yes, this is how it is, cultivating her to death.

Besides, she still has confidence in Daan's intelligence. What he needs is training, mental quality and performance when taking exams.

Time passed bit by bit, chatting and doing things. Before I knew it, the work was almost done, and the sky outside gradually became darker.

Mrs. Sun went to the backyard to cook dinner, while Yang Ruoqing planned to go back and put Baby Luo into clothes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door of the utility room, he saw Tang Yazi coming over with Baby Luo in his arms.

Baby Luo is neatly dressed and has a cute little octagonal hat on his head.

The hat covered all the broken bangs in front of his forehead, revealing a small round face, with a pair of eyes that were extraordinarily round, crystal clear and bright.

"Baby, are you awake? Did you sleep well? Do you miss your mother?"

Yang Ruoqing came to the father and daughter with a smile, reached out and took Baby Luo and held her in her arms to tease her.

Mrs. Sun also came over and teased Baby Luo together.
