Changping Village.

Yang Huazhou came back from the county. The carriage carried a lot of ingredients bought from Qing'an County, many of which were not available in small places like Qingshui Town.

There are also some snacks, which are very particular. Usually they are reluctant to eat them, but this time they spent a lot of money just so that the daughter-in-law on the 16th could come over to entertain relatives and friends and give a good impression to the daughter-in-law's family.

On the evening of the 15th, Bao Suyun invited the female relatives of the family, Sun and Cao Bamei, to help pack the ingredients.

This is also the custom in this area. When a banquet is required for an important event, relatives at home must be invited over a day or two in advance to discuss it together. The men are in charge of the front and the women are in charge of the kitchen.

"My fifth uncle and my fifth aunt really spent a lot of money on this trip to get a wife. Look, there are so many fresh foods raised in water in the basins and buckets that we have never seen before."

In the backyard kitchen, Zhao Liuer was busy working while talking to Bao Suyun.

People are in high spirits during happy events. Bao Suyun couldn't hold back the smile on his face. He pointed to the pots and buckets lined up at his feet and introduced them to everyone:

"Everyone knows these crabs, river shrimps, loaches, etc., so I won't go into details. The ones soaked in this basin are called sixty-year-olds, and the big head on the side, with a bunch of tentacles at the bottom, is called eight claws.

fish……"

"Sixties? I used to eat it when I lived with Yongjin in a restaurant in the county town." The person who said this was Cao Bamei.

"Second sister-in-law, how does the sixty shells taste? It looks a bit like the big shells on the river beach here." Zhao Liuer asked curiously.

Cao Bamei showed her recollection and said: "How can I say, the big plate I ate at that time was stir-fried with green and red chili peppers. The meat inside was very sandy. I don't know if there was no sand inside.

The reason why I vomited it up is that it needs to be dipped in the spicy soup to taste it, otherwise just chewing the bacon will be a bit fishy."

Everyone else looked at Cao Bamei with wide eyes. After hearing what she said, they became even more curious about the taste of sixty-year-olds.

Sun said: "No matter what the taste is, let's try it. At least we can talk about it to others later, so we can say a few words."

Everyone nodded.

Zhao Liuer saw the octopus lying in the bucket. Out of curiosity, she took a chopstick and netted it and tapped it gently.

As a result, the octopus that was lying there with its eyes closed and seemingly unconscious suddenly started to move, its small eyes opened, and several tentacles came from all directions and instantly wrapped around the chopsticks.

In the blink of an eye, it crawled along the chopsticks to Zhao Liuer's fingers, wrapped around the back of her hands and wrists along the fingers, and slipped into her sleeves.

It was cold and slippery, as if several small snakes had been drilled into it. Zhao Liuer was afraid of such soft things, and she screamed in fear.

Sun grabbed the octopus's head and tried to pull it off. As a result, the tentacles were stretched as long as maltose, and dense fleshy suckers were exposed under the tentacles, which were firmly attached to Zhao Liuer's arm. It was so strong that

amazing.

"Hurry up, help me pull it off quickly, I'm so scared of this damn thing!"

Zhao Liuer stamped her feet and was so frightened that she almost cried.

Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei also rushed over, some pulling this and some pulling that, but the strength of this octopus was amazing, and several women were flustered. After struggling for a while, they hurriedly pulled the octopus off and replaced it.

Put it back into the bucket and close the lid.

At this time, Zhao Liuer's smooth, white and tender arms turned red. She really wanted to cry, but she held it back.

Tomorrow is an auspicious day for the fifth aunt's family, so there should be no tears.

"I'm going to Mianmian's room to wash up and come back later." After saying this, Zhao Liuer hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.

There was still a faint smell of salty fishy smell on this arm. She had to wash it well, and wash it with a lingering scent of soap.

When Zhao Liuer almost rubbed several layers of skin off her arm and returned to the kitchen, everyone in the kitchen was still talking about what happened just now. When they saw her coming back, everyone laughed.

"Liu'er, is your arm okay?" Bao Suyun walked over with concern on his face.

Zhao Liu'er was a little embarrassed, "Fifth Aunt, I'm fine. It's just that I had to poke it for fun, which made you all worried."

Bao Suyun shook his head, "What's the point? If you try it for us, we will have experience when we clean it up later."

Zhao Liuer smiled with a blushing face and returned to the crowd, picking up the ingredients together.

Except for Yang Yongqing's daughter-in-law Mo and Tan, almost all the other women in the old Yang family came to help.

Those who have children, such as Liao Meiying and Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer, also brought their children with them. The three girls at home, Mianmian, Xiuxiu, and Xiaohua Xiaoduo, were all able to help take care of them. The front and back rooms were very lively.

When it was almost time for dinner, Yang Huazhou came to the backyard kitchen.

Bao Suyun said to him: "Lao Wu, it's almost time to cook dinner. Everyone eats here at night. You can go to the old house to pick up my mother."

Yang Huazhou nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

After Yang Huazhou left, Bao Suyun said to Sun and others: "I wonder if my mother will give him face if Lao Wu goes to pick him up in person."

Mrs. Sun glanced at the door of the kitchen, "Logically speaking, mother should give face to the fifth brother. The arrival of Dabao's wife tomorrow is a big deal for the whole old Yang family. She must take the overall situation into consideration no matter what!"

Bao Suyun nodded, "I hope so."

Cao Bamei joked: "It would be best if my grandma gets sick. She will go wherever there is a meal."

Everyone was stunned, yes, when Mr. Tan was ill, no one recognized anyone but the food in the bowl.

No matter who gave her something to eat, she would always accept it.

The skinny old lady who used to be less than eighty pounds now weighs almost a hundred pounds. There are obviously several more pieces of flesh on her cheeks, as if she had been stung by a bee.

"Well, what we were most worried about in the past was that your breasts had this disease. Now it seems that this disease has some benefits." Mrs. Sun said with emotion, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, Yang Huazhou came back, alone, with a very ugly look on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Bao Suyun guessed it immediately.

"What? Mom can't come over?" she asked.

Yang Huazhou shook his head, not wanting to make Bao Suyun sad, so he changed his explanation: "Mom said she was getting older and it was inconvenient to go back and forth at night, and she couldn't eat, so she didn't come here."

"What about tomorrow?" Bao Suyun asked again.

Yang Huazhou forced out a smile: "We are Dabao's parents. We are here. Everyone is here, including our mother. Besides, she is also blind. It is really inconvenient to go back and forth. Just let her go, okay?

?”

Bao Suyun nodded, feeling like a mirror.

To put it bluntly, she just felt that Dabao was not of the blood of the old Yang family, so she used this non-visiting method to express her attitude.
