Hearing everyone praising her unborn child, Xiao Yaxue's face was filled with pride.

The meal was being prepared in full swing, and there was constant laughter and laughter in the kitchen. In the yard, relatives and friends were also laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was particularly good.

until……

"Qing'er, the Zhou family is here!"

Wang Cuilian suddenly rushed into the kitchen in a panic, pulled Yang Ruoqing aside, and whispered.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised: "We didn't even go there to tell you. My uncle even forgot when his birthday was. How could someone from the Zhou family come?"

Wang Cuilian said: "I was also confused. I heard Xiao An and a group of children running in from outside to spread the news, and then I knew that the Zhou family was here."

"I don't know if it's a coincidence or something else, but they went straight to the old house in the village. Now your uncle heard the news and was heading to the old house. What should we do?" Wang Cuilian asked anxiously.

Asked.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "They've already come, and it's such a special day. It's hard to drive them away in front of so many relatives and friends."

Wang Cuilian looked depressed.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "Who are here?"

Wang Cuilian shook her head: "I don't know. Didn't I just come to report the news to you when I heard the news? I didn't even care who it was!"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said: "Well, you will know soon. The uncle will definitely bring everyone here. Let's just say hello. It's just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks."

Wang Cuilian nodded: "Okay, today is a good day for your uncle. As long as everything goes smoothly, we won't do anything that will ruin the day."

Yang Ruoqing smiled happily and said, "Well, aunt, you can go to the small garden to entertain the guests first. There are hares simmering in the pot, and I have to wait on them."

Wang Cuilian said: "Okay, you go and do your work. I will come over and tell you what happens later."

"okay!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will go their separate ways for the time being.

Yang Ruoqing returned to the kitchen, and Mrs. Sun said: "Qing'er, I think this hare will be fine, right?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Well, it's almost done. I'll start the pot."

The two hares were hunted by Luo Fengtang and Ahao. They were used in today's birthday banquet and were a highlight.

Yang Ruoqing used dried chili peppers, star anise, peppercorns, sauerkraut and other ingredients as ingredients for the hare, chopped off the head and tail, and simmered it in one pot.

When the lid of the pot was opened and the aroma rushed out, everyone in the kitchen felt that their stomachs were instantly empty, and they couldn't wait to serve a bowl of crispy white rice with hare meat.

One pull!

"Come on, come on, everyone, come over and have a taste first. This is the welfare of our kitchen staff!"

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, taking several pairs of chopsticks and giving them to Sun and Xiao Yaxue.

"I won't taste it anymore. I'll eat it later. You can let them taste it." Mrs. Sun said with a smile.

Xiao Yaxue then did her part, raised her chopsticks and took a bite, her whole face turned red.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Xiao Yaxue remained silent, her face getting redder and redder.

Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, then she picked up a piece with her chopsticks and took a bite.

"Oh my goodness!"

She said, "Why is this spicy food so spicy? I don't like anything spicy, so spicy that my world view is about to collapse!"

Yang Ruoqing said, even so, she still ate two pieces in one go.

Looking at Xiao Yaxue again, her face was as red as a tomato, but she ate five pieces in one go.

"Sour girl, Yaxue, you must have a girl in your belly!" Yang Ruoqing said with a sigh.

Next to them, Mrs. Sun brought two bowls of herbal tea and handed them to the two of them, "The spicy pepper you use to cook the hare is the spicy pepper from the cutting field. It's the spiciest, but it's also the best for rice!"

Cutting down He Lazi is a local dialect.

It means that the season is about to pass, and there will be no more spicy seeds on the pepper seedlings. This is the last batch, which is also equivalent to the last train.

This last batch is usually super spicy.

Farmers like to use the spicy food from Fahe to stir-fry with eggplants and cucumbers from Fahe. The taste is surprisingly good. Just the spicy soup at the bottom of the bowl can be poured into the rice, even with a piece of pickles.

Big bowl.

My whole body felt warm, my appetite was full, and my mind was satisfied.

This is the life of a farmer's family, simple, fulfilling and easy to satisfy.

"Yaxue, I think you should try to eat as little rabbit meat as possible," Bao Suyun suddenly came over and said.

"Why? This is delicious." Xiao Yaxue said.

Bao Suyun smiled, "It's delicious, but don't eat too much. You are a pregnant woman now. Elderly people say that pregnant women who eat too much rabbit meat will develop cleft lips!"

"Ah?" Bao Suyun was so shocked that she quickly put down her chopsticks.

"No way? Fifth Aunt, don't scare me!" she said.

"I just ate several pieces in one go." She added, raising her hand to caress her throat, as if she was considering whether to dig it out.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and stopped her, "Oh, don't listen to the wind, it's rain. My fifth aunt also said it, it was the elders who said it."

"Old people, there is no research on many things. Sometimes it may be a coincidence, like my fourth aunt's Kang Xiaozi."

"In medicine, there is no clear statement that rabbit meat can cause cleft lip in the fetus. Cleft lip is often caused by other reasons."

"So, don't panic!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"Qing'er, are you really not lying to me?" Xiao Yaxue grabbed Yang Ruoqing's hand and asked.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head.

"How could I deceive you with such a thing?" she said.

Xiao Yaxue said again: "Then when dinner is served, can I eat this spicy rabbit again?"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment: "Although it is very filling, I personally don't recommend that you eat more."

"Why? Because it's too spicy, it will cause irritation, and it's a bit irritating to children. You'd better eat as much light food as possible."

"Hey, okay!" Xiao Yaxue let go of her hand, sat back and continued to peel the peanuts.

Yang Ruoqing laughed, put the spicy rabbit into the dish cupboard, and started cooking the next dish.

After a while, Luo Fengtang came over.

Before he entered the kitchen, he poked his head at the kitchen door. Yang Ruoqing immediately knew that he came specifically to find her.

"Mom, take care of the food in the pot. I have something to do." She said to Mrs. Sun.

Outside the kitchen.

"What's going on? How many people are here from the Zhou family?" Yang Ruoqing asked Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang said: "Everyone is here, including that maid."

"Yeah, we are all out, what are we going to do?" Yang Ruoqing smiled and asked again.

Luo Fengtang said: "Auntie said that she came here specifically to celebrate my uncle's forty-eighth birthday."

"I brought a lot of gifts, including noodles, cakes, and fabrics. They were all given according to etiquette. They were so thoughtful that we couldn't choose."
