Chapter 11709

The county town, the backyard of Tianxiang Tower, is Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang’s exclusive villa. They passed through the county town back and forth over the years and stayed in the restaurant.

At this moment, this small villa is naturally used for Dazhi, Xiaoqiao, and Nini to stay.

It’s getting late at night.

Xiao Qiao put on her coat and went to the study room outside, where she saw Dazhi still bent over the desk, writing furiously.

"It's getting late. How about you read and write after you get home tomorrow?" Xiao Qiao came behind Dazhi and gently covered Dazhi's shoulders with the coat in her arms.

Dazhi put down the brush in his hand, raised his hand and gently held Xiaoqiao's hand, and asked softly: "Is Nini asleep?"

Xiao Qiao nodded: "Yeah, I was noisy for a while and just fell asleep."

"Did you vomit again?"

"She didn't vomit anymore, but she didn't have to vomit. She didn't eat much at night." Xiao Qiao said, "The wet nurse has experience and said that in cases like Ni Ni, fasting for two meals may help her recover better."

Dazhi said: "Although this is true, it is inevitable to feel heartache."

Xiao Qiao nodded: "If we do this, when we get home tomorrow, my mother will probably be very distressed when she sees us."

Dazhi was slightly stunned and had the same guess.

After all, my mother had been sending letters all the way here, and by the time we arrived at the county pier, she had already sent a housekeeper to wait there, and all the reception arrangements were in order.

Not only that, mother also brought a lot of instructions, covering every aspect, no matter how big or small, all about Nini.

This shows how high my mother's expectations are for this granddaughter.

"When mother sees Nini tomorrow, will she blame us for not taking good care of the child?" Xiao Qiao asked again.

A pair of soft hands were gently massaging Dazhi's shoulders.

Because Dazhi had been studying and writing at a desk for a long time, he suffered from very serious cervical spondylosis and periarthritis of the shoulder at a young age.

Sometimes it gets so serious that I can’t sleep well at night.

Xiao Qiao secretly learned a set of techniques for massaging the cervical vertebrae. After this massage, Dazhi felt much more comfortable.

He held Xiao Qiao's hand and pulled her to sit sideways on his lap.

"Don't worry. Even if Mom is worried about Nini and feels sorry for her, she won't blame us."

"Because my mother is different from other mothers-in-law. She is a sensible and capable elder."

"Besides, our two younger brothers, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, are still so young, and mom is also going through the process of raising children. She will only feel sorry for us and empathize with us, and will never blame us."

The two talked for a while, and Xiao Qiao wanted to persuade Dazhi to go to bed and rest.

"You don't want to go back to see your elders tomorrow with dark circles under your eyes, do you?" Xiao Qiao asked.

Dazhi said, "It's okay. I can sleep for a while in the carriage on the way back to the village tomorrow."

"Why do you want to make yourself so tired?" Xiao Qiao asked, "I know you are thinking about this year's examination, but you can't rush it in a day or two. Wait until you return to the village tomorrow..."

"Because I'm going back to the village tomorrow, I have to work even harder tonight," Dazhi stroked Xiaoqiao's hand gently, "When we go back to the village tomorrow, our relatives and friends will come to visit us at home, and I will definitely entertain them."

"When night falls, I will probably have to reunite with Ga Po, Tai Ga Gong, and my aunt. I may not have any time to read books or write articles tomorrow."

Xiao Qiao understood that this was why Dazhi had been working so hard today and forgot to eat and sleep.

"Okay, I know I can't persuade you, so I'll go to bed first. Don't stay up all night. Watch for one more hour at most, otherwise it will hurt your body!" "Okay, you should also have a good sleep, and let the nurse accompany Nini. You must be tired after being on the boat for these days."

The couple took care of each other before going their separate ways.

The next day, Xiao Qiao got up and found that there was still no one beside her pillow. She touched the pillow and found no sign of anyone having slept there.

She got up and went to the study, but didn't see Dazhi.

Just when I was wondering where he had gone so early in the morning, I saw Dazhi coming in from the door with a lunch box in his hand and a smile on his face.

"I bought you some Shengjianbao from the county town. Come and try them and see how they compare to our Yangzhou Shengjianbao."

This happened when the two had been drifting on the water for more than a month. They were extremely bored, with nothing but water. As they snuggled up against the mast and looked at the water, they talked about the delicacies deep in their memories, and Dazhi mentioned pan-fried buns.

He also promised that when they got off the boat in Wanghai County, he would buy some fried dumplings for Xiao Qiao to taste too.

Xiao Qiao showed surprise in her eyes and took the food box from Dazhi: "You are so thoughtful. Come, let's eat together."

"Okay, I'll save some space to come back and eat with you. When we're full, we'll take Nini home."

"Well, go home."

……

Half an hour later.

Dazhi and his companions' carriage finally appeared at the end of the official road.

Although Dazhi told Xiaoqiao last night that he could take a nap in the carriage on the way back to the village and catch up on some sleep.

As a result, when he sat in the carriage, as the wheels turned, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery of his hometown flashing outside the window... Dazhi suddenly lost all sleepiness!
Even though he yawned all the way, he couldn't fall asleep. As the carriage got closer and closer to Qingshui Town and Changping Village, a gate in his mind opened automatically.

Those memories before the age of seven came rushing out little by little, becoming clearer and clearer before his eyes.

Especially when the carriage passed by the main street in front of the Yihechun Medical Clinic in Qingshui Town, Dazhi suddenly remembered that when he was only a few years old, he was sick and had vomiting and diarrhea.

His parents brought him to the town clinic for treatment and he stayed there for several days. His parents took care of him without taking off their clothes...

I didn’t understand a lot of things at that time. It was not until I became a father that I understood that feeling.

Blood ties are secondary. What matters most is having a pair of parents who are willing to raise you and take care of your daily life.

I don’t mind your vomit when you are sick. I stay by your bedside without taking off my clothes and feed you medicine one spoonful at a time.

Teach you to walk, teach you to talk, teach you to read, teach you the principles of being a human being...

Not a biological child, but far better than a biological child!
"Dazhi, we're here."

It was not until Xiao Qiao gently touched his elbow that he suddenly came to his senses and realized that the carriage had unknowingly reached the end of the official road that extended to the entrance of Changping Village.

At the other end of the official road, Dazhi saw a long red carpet spread on the ground. On both sides of the carpet, at a certain distance, there were flower stands as tall as artists', on which were inserted brightly colored flowers.

At the end of the flowers, under the familiar eaves decorated with red lanterns and colorful lights, there were already people standing there.

All of them were familiar faces to him.

Just another year has passed, and these people seem to be a little older than last year.

Standing at the front of the crowd was the person he was obsessed with, and that person was his mother - Yang Ruoqing!
