Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing were the family’s matriarchs, so they followed the rules. Even when they had to find branches to make chopsticks on the way, they refused to use their hands to eat. The key was that so many people were in the house, so it was inappropriate for them to eat with their hands.
Ji Xiaoying realized they were in a dilemma and remembered there were no bowls and chopsticks on the table. She quickly went out to get the bowls and chopsticks. Only then did Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing feel relieved.
Yang Ruxue liked the understanding of Ji Xiaoying. This child was very likable, and her eyes were vibrant.
When Luan Hong had nothing to do, she would dress up as a man and run out. She was as forthright as the girls on the grassland without any psychological pressure. She did not care about trifles. Without the concerns of her mother and second aunt, she would directly grab it with her hands and eat it.
With a bite, the fragrance and oil of the mutton bloomed in her mouth. Luan Hong’s beautiful big eyes suddenly widened as she shouted excitedly,
“Mutton filling.”
Because the Great Xia Kingdom was mainly agricultural and commercial, there were very few grasslands, so very few people raised sheep. Luan Hong liked to eat beef and mutton the most. Mutton buns were a precious item in Luo City.
The mutton imported from Tartan was delicious, but it was costly and difficult to buy due to the long distance and high transportation costs.
She did not expect to be able to eat authentic Tartan mutton when she ran to the remote border.
“We have sheep at home. If you like it, you can eat it every day.”
Su Qing smiled when she saw her cousin’s excited expression after eating the delicious food. The little girl was still the best. No matter her suffering, she was happy to have delicious food to eat.
Mo City sheep was the food that was most lacking. In the few days that Su Qing was gone, more than 200 fat sheep had arrived one after another, realizing the freedom to eat mutton.
Xiaoying only brought a plate of buns. There were so many people, and it was not enough to share. She ran back and brought the remaining half pot of buns over.
Madam Li knew Su Qing had returned, so she followed Xiaoying to see her. She also brought along the four lamb legs she left behind from killing the sheep today. She had made them into fragrant lamb legs with sauce.
Su Qing had worked too hard. She had been working so hard for everyone. Madame Li felt incredibly sorry for her. She ate whatever she could to nourish her legs. She had put in a lot of effort to make lamb legs.
“Godmother, you haven’t seen Sister Su Qing’s mother. She’s noble and gentle like water. She speaks very well. Sister Su Qing’s brother is also adorable. He’s like a baby. His eyes are so big, and his little mouth is as beautiful as a flower bud.”
Xiaoying held a plate of mutton buns and said to her godmother. She looked very excited, but there was a touch of envy and loneliness in her big, watery eyes.
She wanted to know what her mother looked like. Was she as gentle and graceful as Su Qing’s mother or as kind as her godmother?
Unfortunately, she was destined to be a motherless child in this life!
“Is that so? Then your sister Su Qing is a child from a rich family. Why is she wandering outside? If her mother knew how much she had suffered, how much would her heart ache?”
Madam Li sighed when she heard Xiaoying’s words. It was a pearl, but it had become a fish’s eye. Su Qing, this child, really made her heart ache.
Even though she was not related to Su Qing by blood, her heart ached so much. Not to mention Su Qing’s parents, what kind of torture would she suffer all these years when she could not find Su Qing?
“Mother, mother, I’m hungry!”
Zhong Yong had just returned from pulling coal with the able-bodied men from the village. When he saw his mother from afar, he shouted at the top of his lungs. His stomach was growling with hunger.
“Mother still has things to do. Go home and wash up first. Mother will make it for you later.”
Madame Li turned around and saw her son’s face covered in black cinders. She told him to go home and take a shower first. After seeing Su Qing, she would go home and cook for him.
“Aren’t there buns and lamb legs?”
Zhong Yong saw the plate of big buns that Xiaoying was carrying and a plate of lamb legs with his mother. He loved meat and could not have enough, no matter how much he ate. He pitifully stretched out his hand towards his mother.
“Mother, give it to me quickly. I haven’t eaten for two days.”
Madam Li’s heart ached when she saw her son like this. She gave him a lamb leg and coaxed him gently as if she was coaxing a child,
“First, fill your stomach. When Mother sees Su Qing, she will come back to cook for you.”
“My master is back?”
Upon hearing his Master’s name, the lamb leg lost its appeal to Zhong Yong. No matter what, he had to follow to see his Master.
“Su Qing’s parents are the masters and wives of a wealthy family. Don’t get close to them with your dirty appearance.”
Madam Li could only persuade her son. Zhong Yong was silly and covered in cinders, afraid of making Su Qing’s parents unhappy.
“I’ll wash up. I’ll wash up and come to see Master.”
Zhong Yong wanted to see his Master, so he ran home. When he finished speaking, he was at the door. He was still holding the lamb leg tightly in his hand. He could throw anything but meat.
Madam Li looked at her son’s appearance with a pitiful expression. She would not have the face to see the Zhong family’s ancestors after she died. If she had not taken good care of him, how could his child have become like this?
“Godmother, what’s wrong?”
Xiaoying saw that her godmother was suddenly upset and quickly asked her with concern.
“I’m fine. There’s sand in my eyes.”
Madam Li hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve and smiled bitterly, using the sand as an excuse.
“Shall I blow it for you?”
Xiaoying’s heart ached when she saw her godmother’s red eyes. She placed the bun on the basin in her godmother’s hand and tiptoed to help her dry her eyes.
Madam Li felt even sadder when she saw Xiaoying being so understanding. How good would it be if her son didn’t have this illness?
Now, she could only swallow her anger and not reveal their engagement.
Xiaoying had suffered enough without a mother since she was young!
Xiaoying didn’t know what her godmother was thinking. She pouted her little mouth and helped Godmother blow her eyes. She even carefully wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. Her caring appearance made Madam Li’s eyes redden again.
She really couldn’t bear to let go of such a good daughter-in-law!
Xiaoying saw that her godmother’s eyes were filled with tears, and she was in pain. She asked,
“Godmother, does it hurt?”
“A little. I’m fine now.”
Madam Li sniffled and shook her head with a smile. “Let’s go quickly. If we’re late, the buns will be cold.”
Xiaoying’s heart ached for her godmother, so she took the basin and the buns over and hugged them.
“Xiaoying?”
Qiu Yongkang had just returned from counting the numbers when he saw Xiaoying from afar and quickly caught up to her, calling her name pleasantly.
“Brother Yongkang.”
Ji Xiaoying was happy to see Qiu Yongkang.
“I’ll take it!”
Qiu Yongkang was even happier seeing Ji Xiaoying smiling like a flower. A doting smile hung on his gentle face as he reached out to take the basin from Xiaoying’s hands.
“Alright!”
Ji Xiaoying didn’t stand on ceremony either. She handed the basin and buns to Qiu Yongkang and started chattering like a happy little swallow about Su Qing’s parents.
“Brother Yongkang, Sister Su Qing’s mother, is very elegant. She’s as beautiful as a fairy.”
Xiaoying praised Yang Ruxue with yearning in her eyes.
“She doesn’t look like Sister Su Qing’s mother at all. She looks like her sister, especially young.”
Qiu Yongkang raised his eyebrows slightly.. Did Su Qing’s parents come to Mo City to visit their relatives or to stay here permanently?
