The third watch, asking for pink.
...
There’s a Luo Xiaoyan in Luo Family Village that Lian Manman had almost forgotten about.
Luo Xiaoyan ca together with Erlang, but because Lian Shouxin and his group had just left the manor and gone up the nearby mountain, Luo Xiaoyan and Erlang arrived a bit late. Erlang went to the mountain to find Lian Shouxin, while Luo Xiaoyan stayed behind saying she wanted to see Lady Zhang.
"...Carrying a child and bringing two chickens," said the wife who ca in to report.
"Since they’re here, should we et them?" Lady Zhang asked Lian Manman, clearly seeking her opinion.
"Then let’s et them," Lian Manman said. Guests ca over, and they’re relatives, it’s always not good to refuse to see them. Besides, there’s no reason not to et them.
So a wife went out to bring Luo Xiaoyan inside.
Luo Xiaoyan was still wearing the sa outfit from the first ti she went to Thirty Mile Camp, even the creases in the clothes had not changed. She walked in holding Er Niuniu in one arm and carrying two fat chickens with folded wings in the other.
As soon as she entered and saw Lady Zhang, Luo Xiaoyan kneeled to bow.
"Don’t kneel, this is neither a holiday nor a festival, it’s not necessary," Lady Zhang quickly said.
Luo Xiaoyan’s hands were occupied, making her actions slower, and before she could kneel, Lady Luo Wang stepped forward to support her.
"Fourth Aunt, I heard you, Fourth Uncle, and the siblings have arrived, so I hurried over with Erlang. I wanted to bow to Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt. We don’t have much at ho, these two fat hens are for Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt," Luo Xiaoyan said, raising the chickens a bit to show Lady Zhang.
"Carrying these chickens, I said to leave them outside, the yard is clean, getting chicken droppings here is hard to clean and doesn’t look good to the hosts. But she insisted on bringing them in. I said I’d help carry them, but she insisted on doing it herself," ca a woman’s voice from outside while talking inside.
The wife who brought Luo Xiaoyan in was complaining to another farmstead wife. Used to speaking loudly, she montarily forgot the host couple’s instructions even though they were there.
The woman was speaking in the yard, and it wasn’t clear inside, but the general aning was understood. Luo Xiaoyan’s face reddened slightly, unsure whether to put down the chickens or keep holding them.
"Who’s making a fuss outside, no sense of rule?" Lian Manman said.
Lady Luo Wang had already gotten up, smiling with apology towards Lian Manman.
"Miss, don’t be angry, it’s a farm wife working in the fields, who got used to being wild, and sohow ca into the yard. I’ll send her out now, she won’t dare do it again," said Lady Luo Wang as she moved to walk out, her eyes involuntarily glancing at the chickens Luo Xiaoyan held.
The floor inside was also made of green bricks, swept especially clean.
"Erlang’s wife, you ca, and yet you bring sothing. That I can’t accept. Co, sit by , let’s talk," Lady Zhang said to invite Luo Xiaoyan.
"Fourth Aunt, this is our respect for Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt. It’s our heartfelt dedication," Luo Xiaoyan hurriedly said.
"Or, let’s hand the chickens to , I’ll send them to the front, have soone keep watch," Lady Luo Wang said as she walked out, feeling it inappropriate to leave the chickens indoors.
"I, I just wanted Fourth Aunt to see." Luo Xiaoyan, face reddening, quickly explained, "I’ll hand them over in a mont, I’ll go to the kitchen to help, I’m skilled at killing chickens."
Clearly, Luo Xiaoyan had heard what the woman outside said, and her explanation was to show she was genuinely here to offer chickens for Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang to enjoy, willing to personally kill them.
"It’s not easy for you to raise these chickens, and we’re not short of them at ho. These chickens, you should take them back, I cannot accept them," Lady Zhang still insisted.
Lian Manman quickly signaled with her eyes to Lady Luo Wang, who understood, and took the chickens from Luo Xiaoyan, carrying them out.
Luo Xiaoyan was clearly very embarrassed, whether to accept the chickens being a matter for later, now was really not the ti to continue on the topic.
"Second Sister-in-law, quickly co sit down and talk," Lian Manman said, walking over to take the child Luo Xiaoyan was holding. "Er Niuniu, let Auntie have a look, you’ve gotten plump, haven’t you?"
Luo Xiaoyan’s expression eased, she walked over and sat sideways beside Lady Zhang.
