Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11639

After lunch, the children were sleepy and the adults also wanted to take a break, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

After Yang Ruoqing took a nap at noon, she got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face and combed her hair, then sat by the window and drank a bowl of jasmine green tea that had been half warm in advance. She felt refreshed.

For her, she is clear about her biological clock. She can be awake for a while when she wakes up every morning, but only for half an hour.

After breakfast, blood sugar levels rise and you inevitably start to feel sleepy.

Therefore, most of the time, Yang Ruoqing would not spend the time after breakfast to handle her restaurant, transport team, herb-collecting team, and other business operations.

During that hour or so, she either used it to clean her own bedroom, or clean the children's room, study, and the elders' room...

At this point, some people may be puzzled. Didn't the Luo family already hire four or five people to help with housework? Why do you still have to do it yourself?

Hey, I’m not afraid of being laughed at for saying this. For Yang Ruoqing, cleaning the dormitory is a pleasure.

On weekdays, clothes were washed by Linglan and the others, but for the underwear of Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, she washed them herself and never asked anyone else to do it for her.

As for helping the children tidy up the house, organize bedding, and clean the study and wardrobe, these are things that Yang Ruoqing, as a mother, sometimes wants to do for the children herself. She should take care of the children's food and daily life, and cannot be lazy just because there are enough people at home.

Anyone can be lazy, but mothers cannot, because this is not just about doing things for the children, but also about participating in their growth, understanding and integrating into their lives, preferences, and habits.

Children only grow up once.

Take the relationships between mothers and children in the wealthy and powerful families in Beijing that Yang Ruoqing had seen. She had seen many examples where there were groups of servants at home, and the wives did not need to take care of the children's food and daily life.

If the wife is free, she will play with the children, have meals with them, and ask about their studies and other etiquette and rules they are learning.

The family is large and has many rules. The wife is not only the master of the inner courtyard, but also has to assist her husband in dealing with social interactions and interpersonal relationships outside.

Therefore, apart from the children coming to pay their respects on time every day, the parents rarely spend time with each other. Even if they want to eat, play, or check their homework together, they have to make an appointment.

In the end, although they are a family, the strength of their kinship and the closeness of their relationships cannot be compared to those of a small family.

To be frustrating, over time, in the hearts of children, the real mother is not the high and mighty head of the family, that is the wife, who has less of a mother element. They are respected and revered, but lack closeness.

On the contrary, it was the wet nurses and maids around them who made them feel close to them, like real family members.

They accompany them as they grow up, sew clothes, shoes and socks for them for all four seasons, know their tastes and preferences well, and take care of them without taking off their clothes when they are sick.

Therefore, when many rich daughters get married, they almost always bring their wet nurses as dowries, and they are used to discussing matters with the other party if there is anything.

Therefore, Yang Ruoqing didn't want her parent-child relationship to become like that. No matter how dedicated and responsible Ronggu, Linglan, Shaoyao, Xingwang and Ping'an were to the children, Yang Ruoqing, as the children's biological mother, would take time to participate.

At this moment, she woke up from her nap and drank some jasmine green tea. She felt refreshed and energetic.

At such times, she would come to the children's room, ready to play with them and teach them how to play chess. Before, when Luo Fengtang and Luo Wuyou, the father and daughter, were at home, they would teach Tuantuan and Yuanyuan how to play chess.

Now that both the father and daughter are busy with their own affairs, Yang Ruoqing, as a mother, naturally took over the baton.

Although her chess skills were not as good as those of the father and daughter, based on the current level of the two little ones, she felt that she, as a temporary teacher, could still control the situation.

As the two of them improve day by day and their level is raised, she, the temporary teacher, will be crushed... then she will make a glorious exit from the stage of history!

However, today, when Yang Ruoqing came excitedly to find the two little ones to teach them how to play chess, she found that they were not in the room after they got up.

After asking, I found out that Niu Niu and Jun'er were also taking a nap here this afternoon. The four children slept together. Before going to bed, they had agreed to go to the river behind the village in the afternoon to dig out bird nests and catch cicada monkeys. So they woke up after a short nap and then set off.

An incense stick of time had passed since Yang Ruoqing came to find them.

"Children are so energetic. They run to rob bird nests in the middle of the day in such hot weather. I am really impressed." Yang Ruoqing was speechless. At the same time, she couldn't help but envy the children's curiosity and desire to explore the world that their age gave them.

For adults, things like robbing bird nests and catching cicada monkeys are extremely boring.

If you have that much free time, you might as well sit and sleep for a while.

But in the hearts of children, these things are very meaningful. Not only do they have great emotional value, but some fragments may even become shining points in the depths of their memories. They will never forget a summer day in their youth when they sneaked into the wild with their friends to do some childish things without telling the adults. These are beautiful memories that can heal their lives.

"Who is accompanying them?" Yang Ruoqing asked Linglan again.

Linglan said: "Ping An, Shaoyao, and my aunt next door."

The aunt naturally refers to He Lianer.

"That's fine."

"Ma'am, would you like to go and take a look?"

"Haha, I won't go." Yang Ruoqing shook her head decisively.

Linglan glanced at Yang Ruoqing's delicate, porcelain-white face and the small portion of her fair arm that was exposed when her sleeves were rolled up.

"It's better if you don't go, Madam. The sunlight is still quite strong right now and it's easy to get tanned."

After hearing Linglan's explanation, Yang Ruoqing said, "You are half right. I don't go because I really don't want to get tanned. But the main reason is not this."

"If I get tanned, I can just take some time to recover and my skin will turn white again. But if I go, my two little ones will be restrained and uncomfortable playing, so I decided not to go. Ping An and Shao Yao are all here, so I have nothing to worry about."

Linglan smiled and nodded: "Madam is so understanding, it is a blessing for Tuanbao and Yuanbao!"

"Okay, stop trying to flatter them. I know what you're thinking. You're on the same side with them because you're afraid I'll pass by, right?"
