"You don’t know Xiaxia’s restless nature; she won’t wait until tonight for you to find her." Ms. Wang said with a smile, wiping the water off her hands, "Since we have guests for dinner, I’ll make a couple more dishes."
"Alright, I’ll go call everyone."
With that, Yang Dachuan went out.
After a while, Land Officer Yang and Yang Dayong arrived first. Land Officer Yang handed the completed land deed to Yang Chuxia, she quickly checked it for any issues and put it away.
"Hey, you little girl, are you serious about reading? Can you even understand it?" Yang Dayong curiously asked Yang Chuxia.
"Uncle Dayong, don’t underestimate . I’ve been learning to read with Brother An these days."
"Wow, that’s impressive. I heard that even the daughters of wealthy families can read."
Land Officer Yang praised Yang Chuxia’s ability to read, "It’s good for a girl to know a few characters. It will broaden her horizons and protect her from being easily deceived in the future."
"Uncle’s right, that’s what I think too."
Yang Chuxia said with a smile.
As they were talking, Yang Dachuan and Uncle Old Gen helped the old man in, followed by Ye Zi’an and Yang Qingrui carrying two books.
Yang Chuxia quickly greeted everyone to sit down, seeing Yang Qingrui still holding a book, she was helpless at how eagerly he wanted to learn.
As long as Ye Zi’an was not at the tavern, he would follow him around all day long.
It was simply unbelievable that he could bring two books ho just during the ti it took to co ho for dinner.
"Don’t beco a bookworm." Yang Chuxia said as she tapped his forehead, but the little boy exclaid, "Sister, n and won shouldn’t have such close contact."
"Just a little kid, not even fully grown yet." Yang Chuxia said helplessly.
Yang Qingrui then exclaid, "Sister, I’m already nine years old, and boys and girls should be separated from the age of seven."
Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes, "Alright then, from now on, you should not have dinner with us at the sa table, after all, both of us are more than seven years old."
"Huh?" Yang Qingrui was caught off guard by this.
A hint of amusent flashed in Ye Zi’an’s eyes. Yang Chuxia greeted him and went out to help Ms. Wang cook. When the dishes were almost ready, she went to the main room to call Old Yang.
At this point, Old Yang’s family had just started serving their dinner, but they hadn’t started eating.
All of them were holding stead buns, badly wanting to spit them out. It wasn’t their fault, as the third branch of the family was cooking up a storm at this very mont.
That fragrance! It must be the sll of braised prawns. Yang Xiaochuan thought of this and felt even more tasteless in his mouth. He had only slled this fragrance when passing by the tavern in town.
How could the third branch of the family have such delicious food every day? No way, he had to think of a way, they could not always eat coarse grains and vegetables while the third branch had feasts of at and fish every day.
Yang Xiaochuan threw his chopsticks on the table, saying, "The third brother and sister-in-law are too unfilial! They lock themselves in their room to eat and drink all the ti, always inviting random people over for als. As a result, we relatives can’t eat anything good. We brothers can’t eat well, not to ntion our parents. This is really disrespectful to our elders!"
When her husband spoke up, Ms. Luo thought about it and added, "Mother, the third brother and sister-in-law really don’t respect you. After all, you’re their mother too, and they should share the good food with you. At noon, you didn’t see the delicious food third brother brought ho."
