Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11116

As they talked and listened to the sound of wind and rain outside, Yang Ruoqing fell asleep without realizing it.

When she gradually regained consciousness, she found that the lights in the house were on. The sound of wind and rain outside the door had not stopped, but the voices of Luo Fengtang and Da'an talking were faintly heard.

It was raining so hard, why did Daan come here? Did something happen at her parents' home?

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing lost most of her sleepiness. She got up, put on her clothes and walked out. When she reached the door, she saw the husband and uncle standing under the eaves, talking in low voices.

It was completely dark outside, with thunder and lightning in the midst of a violent storm.

Oh my god, it really rained all day without stopping? If it keeps raining like this, the water level in the nearby rivers and ponds will rise quickly, right?

Yang Ruoqing was a little worried.

Heavy rain is really not a good thing. Clothes are not easy to dry. Although it is the first month of the year and a set of clothes basically needs to be worn for many days, they still need to be changed and washed, right?

Besides, outer clothes can be changed after many days, but inner clothes must be changed every day, right?

Fortunately, the Luo family has a drying room that is as big as a warehouse, which is well ventilated. When it comes to rainy weather like this, they can move a few stoves filled with fruit charcoal and aromatherapy into the room and place them in several corners of the house. While heating and drying, the scent of the aromatherapy can also make the clothes smell better.

However, this kind of treatment is only available in this family in Changping Village, and other families certainly cannot afford it. Therefore, every year when the rainy season comes, the village is filled with the smell of sweat and dampness.

This year, it's only the first month of the year and it's raining so heavily. The weather is really abnormal.

"Da'an, why are you here? Is there something going on at your mother's house?" Yang Ruoqing collected her thoughts, interrupted their conversation and asked.

"Qing'er, are you awake? Hurry up and put on your clothes. It's windy outside."

Luo Fengtang was about to go into the house to help Yang Ruoqing get her cloak, but Yang Ruoqing stopped him, "Can't we all just come in?"

Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, then he found himself amused at his own dullness.

"Yes, yes, everyone come in and talk. Daan, come in. Your sister is awake. We don't need to stand at the door anymore."

Daan followed in.

"Sister, I came here to tell my brother-in-law that my father is worried about my fourth uncle. Seeing that the whole family hasn't returned, my father went to Lijia Village alone wearing a straw raincoat to inquire about the situation."

I go!

Yang Ruoqing was almost speechless.

"Since the whole family of the fourth branch didn't come back, they must have stayed overnight in Lijia Village. Do we need to ask about this? Our father is really... he doesn't care about anything else!"

Oh, if only there were mobile phones in this world, I could just make a phone call and tell people something.

"Sister, don't you know what kind of personality our father has? He has been in a state of restlessness since lunch."

"Yes, I saw it, and my aunt saw it too, but I didn't expect him to run out and ask around." Yang Ruoqing said, "But the problem is, with such a strong storm, he just rushed out like that. Isn't this going to make us at home worry too!"

Daan nodded, "Yes, so I came to ask my brother-in-law for help. I want to go out with my brother-in-law to pick up Dad."

"What? Has he been gone for a long time?"

"Well, it's almost two hours! Mother and Hua'er are very worried about him at home."

Two hours? Doesn't that mean he was gone for almost four hours? That means that right after Tang Yazi and I left Sun's house, my father went to Li's village?

Yang Ruoqing quickly estimated the relationship between distance and time...

If it doesn't rain on normal days, you can go out of the village, go around the back of the village to the river dam, and walk about a mile along the river dam to reach the entrance of Lijia Village.

From the entrance of Lijia Village to the courtyard of the three brothers of the Li family at the westernmost end of the village, the total distance of twists and turns is only about a hundred meters.

So if you count the trip there and back, it doesn't take two hours at all. At most, it will take half an hour to go back and forth.

Especially on this rainy day, walking is difficult. Even if dad walked slower, it wouldn't take nearly two hours!

"Qing'er, I was just about to leave you a note before going out. Now that you're awake, forget it. Go stay with the kids. I'm going out for a while." Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Then you wear a straw raincoat and bring a lantern to protect against wind and rain."

Luo Fengtang said: "Forget about the lantern. A wind and rain lantern of this level is useless."

"Brother-in-law, we can't see it. It's pitch dark outside. Only occasional lightning can give us some light." Daan said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't worry, your brother-in-law has the ability of night vision."

Not only Luo Fengtang has it, Yang Ruoqing also has it, but Daan doesn't.

Not only that, he may even be nearsighted, but not as serious as Dajie of the Sun family.

"Da'an, don't go. I'll go there and come back quickly by myself." Luo Fengtang reminded Da'an while putting on his raincoat.

"No, I'll go with my brother-in-law. More people means more eyes to look!"

Yang Ruoqing took Luo Fengtang's sword and asked him to carry it with him. When visiting other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, he definitely could not carry these weapons.

But in this case, when going out, wearing a sword is a habit of warriors and a necessary safety awareness.

As a result, when she heard what Da'an said, she couldn't help laughing while helping Luo Fengtang tie the sword, and her hands shook.

"Da'an, your intention is good, but given the situation today, it would be a shame if you go there." Yang Ruoqing is Da'an's biological sister, so she doesn't beat around the bush and just says what she means.

Daan's face flushed red. So, he had become a burden to his brother-in-law?

Luo Fengtang was ready to go out at this time. He said to Da'an: "Listen to your sister, she is doing this for your own good. You really can't help if you come here. Go home and comfort the old and the young, and you will be helping us!"

Daan's face was so red that water could be squeezed out of it.

No matter how good he was at studying back then, he was the top scholar who was selected through layers of screening, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse.

No matter how he spoke brilliantly in the court, how he pointed out the mountains and rivers, how he became the emperor's right-hand man, and even how the emperor wanted him to be the prince's teacher...

However, in such bad weather as today, I was brought back to my original form.

The original form is just a few words: A scholar is good for nothing!

Ashamed!

"In that case, I'll let my brother-in-law take the blame!"

Da'an raised his arms forward, bent down and bowed to Luo Fengtang.

"Why are the whole family doing such a phony trick? It makes my teeth ache!"

I heard the voice of my sister Yang Ruoqing.

"what?"

"Come on, your brother-in-law has already gone out, why would he have time to waste with you?"

Daan raised his head and saw his sister looking at him with disgust.

"Sister, I..."

"Okay, okay, everyone has their own expertise. There's no need to be ashamed."
