Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11564

"Jinling, let's not waste our lunch at the county restaurant. Let's go directly to your house and have dinner together in the evening." Yang Ruoqing said to Zuo Jinling with a smile.

Although both adults and children were a little hungry, after all they had been traveling for several hours, so they would definitely be able to eat in a restaurant now.

However, if we really wanted to finish our meal before going to Zuojiazhuang, it would be afternoon by the time we arrived.

It is not polite to visit someone in the afternoon, so just go straight there and don't waste time.

"Okay." Zuo Jinling turned his horse around and returned to the front of the team. He said something to Luo Baobao, who nodded. Zuo Jinling called his followers and gave them some instructions. Then he rode his horse and went to a street on the side.

On this side of the carriage, Luo Fengtang rode his horse leisurely beside Yang Ruoqing's carriage. The two of them looked at the shops and taverns on both sides of the street, comparing them with the scene when they came to Huguang County a few years ago.

"That was seven or eight years ago. We brought Chen'er and the baby here and stayed in a restaurant in the county town for one night. We went to Zuojiazhuang the next day," Yang Ruoqing said, recalling the past.

Luo Fengtang also sighed: "Time flies. Seven or eight years have passed in a flash. The children have grown up, and the county has changed a lot. Many roads have been repaired, and some shops have been demolished and rebuilt with taller and more imposing shops."

Yang Ruoqing also narrowed her eyes and looked at everything in front of her. She said, "The location is still the same as before, and the buildings are also similar. I just don't know if it's the same group of people as before."

For every piece of land and house, the residents who come and go are like leeks in the field, one crop after another. As winter turns to spring, everything seems to be unchanged, but everything is changing.

Even Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang himself could not escape the laws of time.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves chasing from behind brought their thoughts back to reality.

"Jinling? Why did you come out from the back?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.

Zuo Jinling handed a food box to Yang Ruoqing: "Aunt, it will take at least half an hour to get to my house. I brought you some food to fill your stomach."

"Oh, you are so considerate, kid!"

Yang Ruoqing opened the food box and a fragrant aroma filled her nose.

The food box is divided into several layers, and each layer contains different snacks, including sour, sweet and spicy. There are also rice cakes steamed with raisins and pitted red dates.

"Steamed rice cake is a snack here. It's sweet but not greasy, and very soft and sticky. It can also fill you up. My two younger brothers should like it." Zuo Jinling continued.

"The boneless chicken feet are sour and spicy, and the golden tripe is fragrant and spicy. This handkerchief is a gift from the restaurant. You can use it to wipe your hands after eating."

A half-dry handkerchief with a faint scent of camellia was brought into the carriage along with a tray.

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily: "Good, good, very good, very thoughtful."

"Tang, call your daughter over to eat something..."

"Aunt, Uncle, no need to shout, I brought some food for Sister Wuyou."

"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then she realized that Zuo Jinling still had a food box in his hand.

"Okay, then you go over." Yang Ruoqing smiled knowingly. She didn't even ask Zuo Jinling what food he brought for Luo Baobao, let alone ask Luo Baobao to come to the carriage to eat together.

Instead, he let Zuo Jinling go find Luo Baobao by himself, leaving the opportunity to be alone together to the two young people.

Looking at Zuo Jinling riding his horse and galloping towards Luo Baobao in front, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but ask Luo Fengtang in a low voice: "What delicious food do you think Jinling will bring for our daughter?" Luo Fengtang looked at the cabbage that he had carefully raised, which was about to be fed by another man. Even though it was just a short visit, the "stingy" old father still felt bad.

"I don't know." Faced with his wife's gossip, he seemed to be uninterested and his voice was a little depressed.

Yang Ruoqing's gossip fire was burning, but Luo Fengtang's tone still allowed her to peek into his heart.

"Guess what it might be? He probably doesn't know our daughter's taste preferences..." Yang Ruoqing said again.

Luo Fengtang shook his head indifferently, "I can't guess, and I don't want to guess. Qing'er, don't be curious. Eat it while it's hot."

"Hey, yo?" Yang Ruoqing raised her head and looked at Luo Fengtang again, "Tang boy, move your head closer, I want to tell you something in private."

Luo Fengtang did as he was told.

Just as he got close, Yang Ruoqing grabbed his ear, but quickly let go.

"You petty guy, have you forgotten the real purpose of our trip? Don't let our daughter's important event get in the way!"

Facing Yang Ruoqing's 'hateful look', Luo Fengtang felt guilty.

Indeed, although the slogan of this trip to Zuojiazhuang was to celebrate Old Madam Zuo's birthday, the main purpose was actually to communicate with the parents of the Zuo family, especially Zuo Junmo, and express the attitude of the girl's parents.

At the same time, it also creates more opportunities for the two children to spend time together. We can't rely on Zuo Jinling to take the initiative for everything, right?

Furthermore, the Zuo family made such a great effort during the last flood, and it was necessary for Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing to come here in person, both publicly and privately, and out of both moral and ethical considerations.

In front, Zuo Jinling caught up with Luo Baobao and stuffed another food box into Luo Baobao's hand.

"Sister Wuyou, eat something to strengthen yourself. We still have a long way to go."

"Jinling, you went out secretly to buy food? I was wondering where you were going!"

Compared to the depressed Luo Fengtang, Luo Baobao was generous and magnanimous. He sat steadily on the horse's back and opened the food box at the same time.

"Wow, how do you know that what I want most right now is Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup?"

That’s right, the food in the food box was not other hard food, but semi-liquid sweet soup, which was exactly what Luo Baobao wanted most at the moment.

She had been riding a horse since she started from Wanghai County. In this weather, she had been exposed to the sun for a long time. Although she had been drinking water along the way, she still felt dry and thirsty.

Although she also likes rice cakes, chicken feet and so on, they are not suitable for her in her current state.

Although I am hungry right now, I want semi-liquid food more.

"I was just guessing, but I didn't expect to get it right. It seems I'm not that stupid." Zuo Jinling joked to himself with a red face.

"Jinling, who said you are stupid? You are the best and smartest Jinling in the world!"

Luo Baobao leaned over and tapped Zuo Jinling lightly on the forehead.

Even though it was just an intimate action from a sister to her brother, and the words she said sounded like a sister praising her brother, all of this had already benefited Zuo Jinling greatly!
