Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11249

"Brother Baozi, I understand your feelings, and I am also pleased with your sense of responsibility." Yang Ruoqing said, "However, the teahouse has been empty for two days, so there is no rush to open it this afternoon and night."

"Let's stick to the original plan. We'll set off tomorrow morning. When we get to the teahouse, we'll be ready and bright, so it'll be easier for you to clean up the house."

There were some things Yang Ruoqing didn't say much. This trip to the teahouse might take them ten days or half a month to return home.

The teahouse is located halfway up the mountain. It is not on the outer area of ​​the mountain. To get inside, one has to climb over two hills.

Therefore, it was very difficult for the women at home to go over to send some gifts or visit.

Only if there were four or five women traveling together and they were led by a man, could they go to the teahouse.

So tonight, Yang Ruoqing, taking all aspects into consideration, including humanitarian considerations, asked them to stay at home with their family and comfort their wife.

However, this comfort is probably limited to verbal comfort and explanation, and physical comfort may not work.

  why?

Because most of the houses in the village are still under repair, everyone is still living on the grassland these days. In the big tent on the grassland, the whole family lives together, which makes many things inconvenient.

This is probably one of the main reasons why everyone, whether men or women, or the elders, are eager to repair the house.

The men and women are becoming increasingly manic and cannot hold it back any longer. Although the old men and women are very old and have gradually lost many of their sense of experience, they are experienced people and can feel the restlessness of their sons and daughters-in-law. It is troublesome and an eyesore to have these old people living together.

So among all the people, the only ones who are not in a hurry to move back to the village are probably the children.

  The whole family lives together, sleeps on the floor at night, and everyone can listen to grandparents telling stories from long ago. How wonderful it is! We don’t want to go back to the village!

"Brother Baozi, you are right to listen to me. Go back and settle your family down. Go to the teahouse peacefully tomorrow morning!"

"In that case, I will follow your arrangements, Qing'er."

"I'll go over first and talk to them guys!"

"Okay, go and get busy."

After Wang Liang left, only Yang Ruoqing and Zhang San were left in the main room.

Zhang San asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, what instructions did you send me here for?"

Yang Ruoqing said, "Zhang San, find two reliable brothers tonight and go to Huansheng's house to help me do something."

To be precise, Yang Ruoqing had a bold guess, but this guess needed to be confirmed by Zhang San.

……

After arranging everything, Zhang San also left. Yang Ruoqing called Linglan to ask about the whereabouts of the children.

I learned that Ping'an and Shaoyao had taken me to the official road to fly a kite.

Linglan said, "Originally she wanted to go to the village to watch the master and the old lady build a house, but the old lady stopped her. Then Yuanbao found a kite from somewhere and wanted to fly it."

"The old lady was afraid that they would go fly kites after dinner and get drunk while running, so she insisted on staying at home for an incense stick of time. In the end, she couldn't stop them anymore, and they all went. The old lady was worried, so she followed them..."

Linglan replied very carefully, a long string of replies, even though Yang Ruoqing was taking a nap in the house at the time and was not present.

But after Linglan's long and detailed reply, Yang Ruoqing, even though she was not at the scene, was able to reconstruct the noisy and chaotic scene at home at noon. Oh my god, this reconstruction made her head hurt. Fortunately, there are more people at home now. If it were like before, it would be really hard for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take care of the children.

Now there are several young and strong people helping to take care of the children, so I don’t have to worry much.

"So how long did they fly kites?" Yang Ruoqing asked Linglan again.

Linglan glanced at the hourglass on the table. This hourglass was the same one as the one in Yang Ruoqing's dormitory, except that the sand in the dormitory was blue, like crystal fragments, while the one in the main room was white, also in the shape of a myriad of mountains and rivers.

This hourglass is very cleverly designed. Every time Yang Ruoqing looks at it, she can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.

The hourglass used by the Luo family has three timekeeping modes: one stick of incense, half an hour, and one hour.

Converted into Beijing time, it is 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or one hour.

The three levels of time are checked with scales on the patterns. When a certain scale is reached, one stick of incense has passed, and so on.

Although not as accurate as modern clocks and stopwatches, these three time reference standards are sufficient for use as reference in daily life and affairs.

Linglan glanced at the hourglass and told Yang Ruoqing, "I was out for about half an hour."

Yang Ruoqing nodded and took two sips of tea, which made her more awake and her body felt a little hot.

She stood up and walked out, and told Linglan: "I will go find them, you stay at home."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yang Ruoqing walked out of the yard and looked around. Sure enough, she saw three big and two small figures on the official road leading to Qingshui Town about half a mile away. And in the sky above their heads, there was a big kite flying.

That big kite... should have been among the New Year goods that Luo Fengtang brought back one time. When the box of New Year goods arrived home, the children took out the kites and played with them. Then when they were putting the things into the box, they probably left that kite behind.

Yang Ruoqing stood on the side of the road, looking up and squinting her eyes at the kite floating in the air, sometimes high and sometimes low, a little distracted.

It was not until she heard Yuanyuan's crying that Yang Ruoqing came to her senses and found that a small group of people flying kites were coming towards this side. Ping An was at the front, and he was still running as if he was chasing something.

Behind Ping An, his younger brother Yuanyuan was also running, looking up at the sky and shouting excitedly.

Shaoyao hugged her crying brother Tuantuan, while Wang Cuilian was beside her trying to comfort Tuantuan.

Tuantuan was obviously not used to their repeated consolations. He looked up and pointed at the sky, "He ran away, he ran away..."

Yang Ruoqing looked in the direction her brother was pointing, and she almost laughed.

It turned out that the kite had run away.

If it is released safely, they two will not be able to escape if they follow and watch.

Most likely, the two little ones were jealous of Ping An flying a kite and wanted to fly it themselves. As a result, they accidentally let go of the kite, and the kite with the handle tied to the end of the kite string flew straight into the sky, flying higher and higher, and drifted towards the village entrance where Yang Ruoqing was.

"Mom, hurry up, jump up and catch the kite!"
