Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11674

"Okay, then I'll go visit Kang kid next door. It's time to go back and take a shower and go to bed." Old Yang muttered to himself and walked out of the Luo family yard with his hands behind his back.

Yang Huazhong and the others followed Old Yang's back and saw that after he walked out of the courtyard, he really went to the left... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"My grandma and my aunt came back with a few kids to stay for a month a while ago. The east room was bustling with activity at that time. My grandpa is probably still a little uncomfortable with the quietness. He comes out to wander around as soon as it gets dark."

In Yang Ruoqing's opinion, Old Yang was lonely.

Yang Huazhong nodded, agreeing with Yang Ruoqing's statement: "When our Yang family was still a family, it was very lively. Later, when the family was divided, your grandfather was also wandering around like this, and he often lost his temper for no reason."

"I wasn't too old at that time, and there were some things and feelings that I couldn't fully understand."

"Now I am a grandfather myself. Every New Year, my whole family comes back from all over the world to gather together. It is very lively. But after the New Year, everyone goes their separate ways. Suddenly, it feels like the house has been robbed."

When Yang Huazhong said this, an unnatural blush seemed to appear on his dark face.

Obviously, for a man like him who is used to keeping all his emotions to himself, it is not an easy thing to express his deepest emotions openly like today.

Unlike Sun, she would show her emotions from time to time, especially during the twelfth lunar month of every year when her children came back from various places and her joy and excitement were beyond words.

After the Chinese New Year, almost starting from the fourth or fifth day of the first lunar month, when the New Year visits to relatives are gradually coming to an end, Daan and his family will begin planning their journey.

Every time this happened, Sun would become depressed, and when her children officially left home, she was so reluctant to let them go. It was so heartbreaking that even Yang Ruoqing couldn't bear to watch it.

It would take three to five days for Sun to slowly come back to her senses from this state and restart her life, looking forward to the next New Year and reunion.

Every time we reunite, not only do we see the children grow up, but we also see our parents age. Year after year, over and over again, everyone seems to be in a cycle forever, like migratory birds, coming and going, never stopping...

So at this moment, just when she heard Yang Huazhong talk about his own feelings, Sun felt empathy and her eyes turned red.

"Yes, when the children were young, we hoped that they would grow up quickly, grow up safely and healthily, and marry the ones who should get married. But when they really got married and started their own families, our homes and hearts suddenly felt empty. Haha, people are really strange. Even when the things we hoped for happened, we still felt a little bit... I can't explain it..."

"Mom, if you can't explain it, don't say anything. Come, have another bowl of watermelon porridge." Yang Ruoqing directly served a bowl of watermelon porridge to Sun with a playful smile on her face.

"You and my father should be most thankful that Duo'er and I did not marry far away, especially me, who is always around you guys."

"That's right, luckily you sisters are around, your mother and I are content. We only saw your grandfather like that before and mentioned it casually." Yang Huazhong showed an honest smile on his face and rubbed his hands, a little worried that Yang Ruoqing would question his preference for boys over girls.

Yang Ruoqing didn't even try to question him. If her father favored boys over girls, why was the silly Fatty given away or sold?

You have to know that in this time and space, let alone a silly girl, even if it is a son, if he really can't make ends meet, in the eyes of some parents, those are "things" that can be exchanged for silver and food.

Anyway, as long as my wife is around, why worry about not having children?

Of course, as long as you have money, why worry about not having a wife?

Therefore, Yang Huazhong is definitely not the kind of person who favors boys over girls. Even in the entire Yang family, except for Old Yang and Mrs. Tan, everyone else likes daughters very much.

Even for Old Yang and Mrs. Tan, it cannot be said that they completely favor sons over daughters. It can only be said that they care a lot about the inheritance of male heirs.

But at the same time, among their five sons and one daughter, except for the eldest son Yang Hua'an who died young, they loved their only daughter Yang Huamei the most... Sun looked at Yang Ruoqing's playful smile and the watermelon porridge she brought over, and her mood inexplicably improved. She smiled and said, "I can't eat."

Yang Ruoqing said: "I know how much you eat. You usually put down your chopsticks after eating one bowl of dinner, but watermelon porridge is your favorite. You won't be satisfied without three bowls."

Sun blushed, and glanced at Luo the blacksmith and Wang Cuilian a little embarrassedly, saying, "Nonsense, I really had a lot of food today..."

Wang Cuilian smiled and picked up her empty bowl, saying, "I also like to eat watermelon porridge, I have to eat a few more bowls, Qing'er mother, even if you accompany me, eat another bowl!"

Yang Ruoqing also smiled and looked at Wang Cuilian, knowing what the old lady meant.

"Mom, did you hear that? My aunt asked you to eat with her, and it would be bad if you refused!"

Just like that, Sun picked up the bowl again and enjoyed the delicious watermelon porridge with a smile.

Blacksmith Luo also took Yang Huazhong to the main room to drink tea, smoke, and chat, while they waited for the two women in the yard to eat and drink their fill.

After the children had eaten, they followed Peony Lily of the Valley back to the backyard to take a bath.

Yang Ruoqing, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, came to the gate of the yard and stood on the side of the road to enjoy the cool air.

By the way, she would help Yang Huazhong and the others to keep an eye on him. If the old man came out from Kang Xiaozi's yard next door and wanted to go to the second room again, she would stop him.

It turned out that she was overthinking it. The old man really did what he said. After coming out of Kang Xiaozi's yard, he walked along the main road towards the village.

When passing by Yang Ruoqing, the two of them exchanged a few words and didn't stay any longer.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the old man's back as he walked away, and indeed felt a little lonely and desolate.

In fact, the children only share half of this loneliness and desolation, because most of the children and grandchildren stay in Changping Village to accompany the old man.

Half of the loneliness and desolation probably came from Tan. Without his wife around, the old man didn't want to go back to the east room alone.

"By the way, Qing'er, when will Dazhi, his wife and children be able to get home?"

After walking a few steps, Old Yang suddenly turned around and said this.

Yang Ruoqing was just immersed in the old man's lonely back, but when he asked her this, it took her two seconds to realize that the old man was concerned about Dazhi and the others' itinerary.

"It's almost time. Let's go to Wanghai County in the next two days!"

"Then someone from home will go pick me up, right?"

"Well, Xingwang will go to the county dock and wait for us tomorrow morning!"

"That's good. When Dazhi and the others come back, your Luo family will be lively again."

Yang Ruoqing smiled with a gleam in her eyes, "Of course, this is the first grandchild of our Luo family! The whole family is craning their necks to look forward to it!"
