Chapter 286 Suffering Doesn't Come From a Woman He's Never Met
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
Mengze and Ali will not walk into a trap.
They stayed in Wangyue Village and didn't plan to go out and make a scene.
Moreover, they usually stayed in the cured meat drying room across the river, and had no interaction with the unfamiliar worshippers.
But this matter still planted a seed in everyone's hearts, though it was far from sprouting.
The next day, early in the morning.
Lin Xi then made "pig's glutinous rice cakes" in the kitchen!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, vegetarian food is served, and "pig'er ba" is an essential delicacy. It is similar to a glutinous rice ball about half the size of a palm, but shaped like a dumpling!
Piglet cakes made with a mixture of sorghum flour and glutinous rice flour have a richer texture, combining the coarse aroma of sorghum flour with the soft, sweet flavor of glutinous rice flour.
It's pink, cute, and exceptionally pretty!
Gao Mengli was full after eating two, while Da Niu, with his small body, could eat seven or eight!
If it weren't for the fact that glutinous rice is hard for children to digest, and Lin Xi stopped him, Da Niu would have insisted on eating at least ten!
After breakfast, Gao Mengli and Lin Xi took Da Niu to their aunt's house to pay a New Year's visit!
After Gao Mengli put down the New Year's gifts, her aunt, Jiang Yue, and Jiang Bei quickly stuffed the New Year's money they had prepared into Da Niu's arms.
Upon seeing this, Da Niu quickly declined, saying, "Auntie, cousin, uncle, you can't!"
The silver was pushed in front of the three people, while the sleeves of the garment were wide open.
It's like they've written all over their foreheads, "Quickly stuff them into my sleeves!"
The three of them burst out laughing and quickly stuffed the New Year's money into Da Niu's sleeve.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Da Niu turned to Gao Mengli and asked, "Mother, this New Year's money was given to me by my great-aunt. Can I accept it?!"
Gao Mengli looked at Da Niu's "knowing question" and chuckled: "Alright, since your great-aunt, uncle, and aunt are giving it to you, then just accept it."
Having received permission, Da Niu happily bowed again to his aunt, Jiang Yue, and Jiang Bei to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Aunt, Cousin, and Uncle!"
Aunt smiled and gently patted Da Niu's shoulder, her eyes full of affection: "Silly child, the New Year's money is for you to spend. If you see anything fun or delicious, just go and buy it."
We look forward to this lively and festive Spring Festival all year round!
Jiang Yue stepped forward and straightened Da Niu's slightly disheveled collar. "Yes, Da Niu, you've grown another year older in the new year. You must be more sensible, study hard, and have a bright future."
Jiang Bei went back to his room, took out a notebook, and handed it to Da Niu: "This is my notebook from when I took the preliminary examination for the imperial examination. Take it back and read it. You will be taking the preliminary examination in the spring, so you must study it carefully."
This contains some key points, insights, and mistakes I made back then, which I hope will be helpful to you.
Da Niu accepted the note with both hands, his face full of surprise.
He carefully opened it and saw that it was filled with tiny, neat characters.
Da Niu was beaming with excitement: "Thank you, Uncle! I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations."
His mother said that one's status is earned through one's own efforts, and he would definitely work harder to pass the imperial examination for the first degree.
After leaving the aunt's house, the family of three went to the uncle Jiang Yuandao's house.
Yu Yuan still didn't recognize the two of them, but she called them back before they left.
She mysteriously pulled two red envelopes from her bosom and placed them in Gao Mengli's hands: "When you go back to Wangyue, can you help me give my New Year's money to my Xixi and Xixi's wife Mengli?"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with bitterness.
Lin Xi nodded emphatically: "Yes, Aunt, we will definitely deliver it to you!"
Jiang Ya supported Yu Yuan from the side and gently patted her back: "Mother, it's cold, you should go back inside first."
Seeing that Lin Xi was helping her bring her New Year's money, Yu Yuan was happy to listen to what Jiang Ya was saying.
Watching her happily return to her house, Jiang Ya's eyes were filled with helplessness: "Sigh, I wish I had gotten married sooner."
That way, when I'm not home, there will be someone to help take care of my mother..."
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were taken aback and frowned.
"what happened?"
Seeing the disapproving looks on their faces, Jiang Ya explained, "I'm really worried about my mother's illness. Taking care of her alone for so long inevitably leads to some oversights."
My dad is getting old...
"If I had a caring wife to help me, I could work with more peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Gao Mengli shook her head: "Cousin Jiang, Lin Xi and I bear the primary responsibility for Aunt's illness."
If we cannot find a royal physician to cure my aunt's illness in the future, we will take her back to live with us in her old age.
But your current thinking is unacceptable.
Lin Xi nodded in agreement: "Yes, Cousin Jiang, to put it bluntly, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor, and whoever's mother has had a hard time should make amends."
The reason your parents, who are elderly and struggling, are having a hard time is not because you haven't married.
If all else fails, we'll buy a maid for my aunt to take care of her personally.
You absolutely cannot think that you'll marry a wife and then bring her back to take care of your uncle and aunt.
"That's not fair to your future wife."
Jiang Ya was deeply shocked by their words.
After a long pause, he looked ashamed and opened his mouth to explain, but he didn't know where to begin.
His older cousin's words made perfect sense, and he had no way to refute them.
Yes, he had been going down a wrong path.
I can't seem to let go of Fatty because she's strong, a good person, and kind to her mother.
He felt that only Fatty could take good care of his mother, never considering that it was not Fatty's responsibility.
Taking care of his parents is simply his responsibility; why should it be imposed on others?
After listening to Lin Xi's words, Jiang Ya finally managed to escape from the dead end.
Jiang Ya raised her head, her eyes full of sincerity and gratitude: "Big Cousin, Big Cousin-in-law, thanks to you for enlightening me today, I was really stuck in a rut before."
Over the years, I've devoted myself entirely to taking care of my mother and the household, making a mess of things and almost making a serious mistake.
Gao Mengli nodded slightly: "Cousin, it's good that you understand. We're all family, we'll face difficulties together. We can't hurt people's feelings just for the sake of convenience."
Jiang Ya smiled and nodded: "Yes, sister-in-law, I understand."
Lin Xi gently patted Jiang Ya's hand and explained, "As for your aunt's illness, Meng Li and I will find a way, so don't worry."
My aunt's condition is unlikely to improve significantly without the help of imperial physicians.
Kyoto is far from the capital, and now it's in chaos.
Therefore, going to Kyoto now is very risky, and he and Gao Mengli are waiting for an opportunity.
We're waiting for an opportunity for Dou Weiyi to launch a rebellion. At that time, the dispatch of the imperial physician will also be at Dou Weiyi's whim.
Jiang Ya was filled with shame. In the end, his mother's illness could not be blamed on the two of them.
At that time, Lin Xi and Gao Mengli were still young and didn't understand anything.
Jiang Ya sighed heavily: "Cousin, thank you for your hard work."
It's something that happened when I was little, how can I blame you? It's just that I can't get over that hurdle in my heart.
Hearing you say that now, I feel much more at ease.
Lin Xi patted his shoulder and didn't say anything more.
