Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11242

In order to create a quiet environment for Luo Fengtang, who had a rare chance to rest, Yang Ruoqing took her two sons directly to the kitchen.

They said: Let's ask Aunt Rong to make some snacks for you.

In the dormitory that had returned to silence, Luo Fengtang leaned back on the bed, looking through the half-drawn curtains, slowly examining this familiar dormitory.

There is a soft couch by the window, a small round table, and a set of blue and white porcelain teapots and teacups on the small round table.

Qing'er's walnut dressing table, and the short-legged, fat-bellied vase next to the bronze mirror with a few jasmine flowers in it...

The furnishings are familiar and warm, and there are also a few children's toys that have not been put together yet, which adds a bit of family atmosphere to this warm and stylish bedroom.

Lying on such a bed, he felt at ease. The children's laughter gradually faded away, and his eyelids became heavy. Luo Fengtang turned over, and a slight snoring sound was heard in the dormitory.

On the other side, Yang Ruoqing brought the children to the backyard. When Aunt Rong heard that the children wanted to eat snacks, she started kneading the dough, took out honey and dried osmanthus collected before the New Year, soaked red dates and raisins, washed her hands and started making snacks.

The children also liked to join in, and the dining room next to the kitchen suddenly became lively.

……

At night, because Luo Fengtang took a nap for more than half an hour in the evening, after dinner, when others were sleeping, he was full of energy again.

"It just so happens that I ate a little too much at night. How about we go for a walk in the yard to help digest the food?" Yang Ruoqing invited him while rubbing her stomach.

"it is good!"

The two of them walked together by the bamboo forest in the backyard, walking along the cobblestone path over and over again, listening to the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves, looking at the moonlight in the night sky above their heads, chatting casually, saying whatever came to their mind. This feeling was particularly relaxing and healing.

It is because of this kind of healing and relaxation that the body and mind, which are usually tense and busy outside, can be better relieved and repaired.

But tonight, as soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, Zhang San sent someone to look for Yang Ruoqing.

"There's a discovery!"

"You go first and guard the scene. I'll be right there."

After sending away the person who came to report the news, Yang Ruoqing turned around and whispered an explanation to Luo Fengtang who was a little confused behind her.

Luo Fengtang suddenly realized.

"I'll go with you. It just so happens that I'm full of energy and can't sleep tonight. So you're waiting here, haha!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Let's go back and change our clothes and get some gear."

"it is good!"

……

At this time, it was close to midnight.

At this time, even if there were people living in the village, they had all fallen asleep.

What's more, now, the Luo family is probably the only one living in the village, and their family lives next to the official road at the entrance of the village. In the huge Changping Village, it is dark everywhere, and the villagers are still living in tents on the grassland.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang arrived at the gate of Huansheng's house at the entrance of the village. Zhang San and a few villagers came out from the shadow corner nearby.

"Qing'er, Tang'er!"

Luo Fengtang nodded to Zhang San and the others, then stood beside Yang Ruoqing with his hands behind his back.

Yang Ruoqing asked Zhang San: "Have you found Huansheng's father?"

Zhang San raised his hand and pointed to the house on the south side of the yard: "It's in there."

In the moonlight, Yang Ruoqing discovered that Zhang San's face was unusually pale, and the villagers who came with him were not much better.

And judging from the state of these villagers, they seemed to be very panicked, standing together and huddled together.

"Why are you guys like this?" Yang Ruoqing asked again. One of the villagers said, "Qing'er, stop asking. This is the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life. My legs are still shaking."

Zhang San turned his head and glared at the man: "Stop talking, dead people look scary! What's there to be afraid of?"

"Zhang San, stop talking about me. You vomited earlier!"

Zhang San glared at the man again.

Luo Fengtang suddenly turned around and went to Huansheng's yard.

Yang Ruoqing followed closely behind.

Zhang San was about to follow, but he found that several villagers behind him were hesitant and did not dare to move forward.

Zhang San said, "Tang is a great general, and Qing is a woman, but they dared to go in. Are you guys so cowardly?"

The villagers looked at each other, then encouraged each other to follow.

Yes, Luo Fengtang is the great general who protects the country. He has a strong aura. Wherever he is, what are they afraid of?

When there was someone in front who could calm the situation and give people courage, the villagers behind them also became bolder, and their curiosity suddenly surged, so they followed into the yard one after another.

When she arrived at the door of Huansheng's house, Yang Ruoqing saw that it was dark inside.

Although she and Luo Fengtang both have night vision capabilities, Zhang San and the others behind them do not.

Moreover, in the dead of night, if we don’t create some light, Zhang San and the others might be scared.

It didn't matter if we lit the lamps, because there was no one in the village anymore and everyone was on the pasture.

So, Yang Ruoqing stopped Luo Fengtang for the time being and told him not to rush in alone, but to wait for her to light the small windproof lantern first.

When she was holding a lantern in her hand, Luo Fengtang turned around and stepped into the main room of Huansheng's house.

Yang Ruoqing also entered the house carrying a small lantern.

Behind them, Zhang San and his friends quickly quickened their pace to catch up with Yang Ruoqing, and they all re-entered Huansheng's house together.

Yang Ruoqing first glanced at the main hall of Huansheng's house. The scene was no different from what she saw when she came here during the day.

Zhang San and his friends found old man Huansheng in the room over there. When Yang Ruoqing came over there during the day, she saw Huansheng and his son, and daughter-in-law Xia, packing their things in the room.

That was the house where old man Huansheng had lived before he died. At that time, Huansheng and two other people were moving all the things that the old man had used during his lifetime that had been flooded out, and then throwing them onto the dung pile to wait for burning. The ashes after burning would be mixed with earth and wood ashes and carried to the fields to be used as farm fertilizer for plowing the fields in the spring.

Yang Ruoqing walked into the house holding a lantern. The room had been almost cleaned up by Huansheng and his friends. The only thing left was a bed where the old man had slept, covered with a worn and blackened mat.

A moldy round table and two shabby stools.

  In addition, there is a brick bed built next to the bed, against the south wall!

This earthen kang is six meters long and three meters wide, just enough for an adult to lie down.

This earthen kang used to be covered with bedding. It is said that the filial son Huansheng built such a kang in the old man's room so that he could serve him more conveniently.

For a whole year, Huansheng slept on this earthen kang at night and never went into his wife's room...

  Huansheng's behavior once resonated with everyone in the village, and wherever Huansheng went, he was praised!

Old men like Old Yang and Old Jiang, as well as old ladies, often envied this when they gathered together to smoke tobacco and bask in the sun.

But now, half of this earthen kang has collapsed.

There were two shovels and a hoe scattered around.

These two shovels and a hoe were brought by Zhang San and his brothers.

They were the ones who dug up the earthen kang.

It was because this earthen kang, which symbolizes filial piety, was dug up that the secret of the filial son was discovered!
