Chapter 184: Mrs. Zhou is reluctant to leave

Old Madam Zhou looked at Cha Niang directly locking the door, her face turned green with anger, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Don't do anything! Mother, you really won't go back." Yang Yu looked at the old lady Zhou and asked again.

The old lady Zhou replied stubbornly: "If you don't go back, what are you going to do when you go back, I'll wait to eat at your place."

Yang Yu said helplessly: "Okay then!" Then he walked to the side and picked up the broom and handed it to Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, since you don't go back, help me clean the yard!"

There are still a lot of bloodstains and garbage in the yard. Although the group of people helped her clean it just now, it still doesn't look clean to her, so Yang Yu planned to wait for them to leave and clean it up by herself. Zhou Wei went to deliver the iron pot to the pig slaughterer, and the three children also ran out to play. Originally, Yang Yu and Erdan were left at home.

Now that Mrs. Zhou is here and wants to wait for dinner, Yang Yu doesn't plan to let her stay in vain.

Old Madam Zhou looked at the broom handed over by Yang Yu, and took a step back: "I'm too tired to do it, you can do it yourself." After speaking, she turned and sat on the small bench in the yard, her sleeves folded and her eyes staring. Staring at Yang Yu.

Not to be outdone, Yang Yu stared at the old lady: "Mother, if you help us, hurry up, if you are not hungry, just wait slowly!" After speaking, he didn't care about the old lady Zhou, he took the broom and started a little bit. clean up. The bluestone slabs in the yard also had some blood stains in them, which looked very ugly, so Yang Yu used hot water to scald them while slowly cleaning them up.

Old Mrs. Zhou sat beside and looked at Cha Niang's careful look, pouted her lips in disdain, and thought to herself: What do the poor people of Zhuang family care about, and they are so clean now that they won't be dirty in a few days, so wasted effort. If you have this spare time, you might as well go and cook for her.

Thinking of eating, the old lady Zhou felt even more hungry, and said to Yang Yu angrily: "Cha Niang, don't do it, go and cook me some food, I'm hungry."

"Mother, didn't you see that I was busy there? You are waiting for a while." Yang Yu said without looking back.

If Mrs. Zhou had heard that the tea lady dared to talk to her like this, she would have made trouble, but after suffering a few losses, Mrs. Zhou also had a long memory. Can only continue to say: "No, I'm hungry, I have to eat now. Why can't I even eat a meal now."

"Mother, why can't you eat, let me finish the work anyway!" Yang Yu said helplessly.

In this way, Yang Yu had been working for about half an hour and there was no sign of stopping at all. During this period, Qiu Ju came once and looked at the old lady Zhou who was doing it and asked Yang Yu in a low voice: "Why is she here, are you two? Don't you deal with it?"

Yang Yu: "Who knows what she is crazy about, she insists on eating at my house, isn't she waiting for that?"

Qiu Ju: "Have you eaten, are you hungry?"

Yang Yu shook his head: "I'm not hungry if I eat late, I'm afraid the children will come back later, then I really have to cook."

Mrs. Zhou had been watching since Qiu Ju came, for fear that they would say bad things about herself. Seeing that they were talking endlessly, she couldn't hear them at all, so Mrs. Zhou was a little anxious and asked, "Tie Zhu Home, what did you two say? What, are you afraid that my old lady will hear?"

When Qiu Ju heard the old lady Zhou's words, she turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Auntie, I didn't say anything, I just asked her if she would go to the mountains these days."

The old lady Zhou gave a dubious sigh.

When there was old lady Zhou in Qiuju, it was not easy to talk to Yang Yu, so she could only say: "Cha Niang, if you don't go, then forget it, I'll go back first."

"Okay, then you slow down on the road, I won't send you." Yang Yu replied.

Before leaving, Qiu Ju deliberately came up to Yang Yu and whispered, "Don't worry about the children, let them eat at my house, and you can take good care of this old lady."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. Not long after walking, I saw Zhou Ze and Zhou Rui running home one after the other. Seeing Qiu Ju's two children, they called out at the same time, "Auntie."

Looking at Zhou Ze who was about to run past her, Qiu Ju immediately stopped her and asked, "Are you two going home?"

Zhou Ze: "Well, Auntie, you just came out of my house?"

"Well, don't go back, you two, go to my house to eat, I'll tell your mother." Qiu Ju said while holding Zhou Ze's arm.

"Why did my mother let me eat there at your house?" Zhou Ze asked.

Qiu Ju: "Your milk is at your house, hurry up!" He dragged Zhou Rui away.

Because Qiu Ju and Yang Yu had a good relationship, the children did not treat Qiu Ju as an outsider. Besides, they used to eat with Qiu Ju at the Confucius Temple, so going to Qiu Ju's house was not very restrictive.

Here, Yang Yu cleaned up the bluestone slabs outside, thinking that the New Year is coming, or he should sweep the house aside, so he will act immediately after thinking about it. She cut a wooden stick from the small broom and held the broom to start sweeping the roof. This is a newly built house, and there is no ash at all, but Yang Yu went to sweep it with a sense of ceremony.

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at the tea lady who couldn't stop, and she felt resentful in her heart, but she also understood that the tea lady just dragged on and didn't want to feed herself, so she immediately retreated and wanted to go back, but when she thought that it was the time to go back home, she would definitely have no food. , not only feel heartache.

I had no choice but to speak to Yang Yu: "Cha Niang, what else do you have to do, I will help you."

Yang Yu looked back at the old lady Zhou who was rubbing her stomach, thinking that the old lady must be very hungry, she still said with a smile: "Mother, look, I'm about to finish this job, or you Just wait!"

Mrs. Zhou just wanted to say yes. Seeing that Yang Yu had already handed over a rag, he said, "Mother, forget that you are bored after sitting for so long, so please wipe this for me!" Yang Yu pointed to half of the main room and said.

Yang Yu was also afraid that Mrs. Zhou would fool her, so she specifically said, "Mother, have you seen the rubbing on my side? Just follow me here, otherwise it will be a waste."

After instructing Mrs. Zhou, Yang Yu went to their house, took a few cakes from the cook and put them in his sleeves, and hurried to Erdan's house.

Seeing Yang Yu coming in, Erdan immediately sat up and shouted, "Auntie."

Yang Yu: "Hungry! Let's have dinner later today." As he said that, he handed Erdan the good points in his sleeves, "Eat some first if you're hungry."

Erdan shook his head: "Auntie, I'm not hungry yet." Because Erdan was taking medicine all the time, no matter how busy Yang Yu was, he would prepare Erdan's meal first and fry the medicine for him to eat first.

At noon, Yang Yu also took time to cook for him, but only Erdan and Xixi had a good meal, Zhou Ze and Zhou Rui were patronizing and playing, and only one person ate a few mouthfuls, so he was hungry quickly.

There were a lot of people at that time, and Mrs. Zhou didn't notice that Yang Yu had already finished cooking and feeding the children.
