Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11753

Changping Village, Wanghai County.

Kang and Liu took the little boy back to Lijia Village together.

On the Luo family's side, Yang Ruoqing and her mother looked at each other, and finally both laughed at the same time.

Yang Ruoqing said, "Are you still feeling a little unaccustomed to it? Do you feel a sense of emptiness inside?"

Nai Ma nodded truthfully, "Don't laugh at me, Madam, but there really is a little bit..."

For the past seven or eight days, Nai Ma had been going back and forth to the new fourth house next door four or five times a day. Suddenly, she stopped going. The little boy went back to his own home and back to his parents. Nai Ma is really a little unaccustomed to it.

But then she thought about it again and realized it wasn't a big deal. She had been invited by the Luo family to be Nini's breastfeeding mother, and feeding the little baby was just a favor she was doing.

The little baby has returned to her mother's side, but Nini's mother hasn't come back yet, so she needs to be taken good care of by her own mother.

Nai Ma was about to add something more, in case Yang Ruoqing, the employer, was unhappy.

As a result, Yang Ruoqing spoke up early, "What's so funny about that? Don't even mention that you feed that little baby every day and hold him so close that your eyes meet."

“Even I, who go to the new fourth room to see that baby several times a day, see him change every day, and he would even smile at me. Now that he’s suddenly taken away, I feel a little empty inside!”

Hearing this, Nai Ma breathed a sigh of relief. She had been overthinking things; the lady was not the kind of petty person at all.

If someone were truly that petty, they wouldn't have allowed themselves to feed that baby...

……

As He'er returned to Lijia Village, Liu also went there to take care of He'er during her postpartum period, helping to wash the baby's diapers and He'er's clothes.

"This time, I dare not let my mother cook anymore; my brother-in-law will cook for me himself." Kang Xiaozi came back from Lijia Village and stopped by the third house for a while, and then talked about He'er's situation.

"By the way, my mother asked me to come back this time to buy some chickens to take to my eldest sister's place for her to use during her postpartum period."

At this point, Kang Xiaozi looked at Yang Ruoqing and asked, "Sister Qing'er, is your cousin's chicken farm in Zhoujia Village still selling chickens? I want to go to Zhoujia Village to take a look."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "We've been selling them all along. But if you want to buy chickens, how many do you want? Why don't you just find some chicken and duck farmers in our village to buy a few? There's no need to go all the way to a chicken farm!"

Kang said, "My parents specifically instructed me to bring back two old ducks for my older sister when I buy chickens."

"Buying in the village is not a good idea, since the chickens raised there are mainly for their own eggs, and there's no set market price. It's not good to pay too much or too little. It's better to buy from a chicken farm, where the prices are clearly marked."

Yang Ruoqing thought that made sense.

When you go to the village to buy chickens, some families you know well might feel embarrassed to accept money and simply give you the chickens for free.

The Luo family had encountered this situation before.

But after accepting chickens from such families, and then finding that the family's situation wasn't so good, I still felt uneasy eating those chickens.

Some families have chickens that they want to sell, but they want to keep them to lay eggs, which they want to exchange for salt. In addition, some of the old hens have been raised for several years.

So these kinds of families have a common problem: they treat their old hen like a treasure, and they wish that when you buy their old hen, you would also pay for the eggs for the next three to five years. Only then would they be willing to do business with you.

Are buyers stupid?
Wouldn't it be better to buy a chicken from Watishi or a chicken farm with roughly the same amount of money? Why insist on buying this exorbitantly priced chicken from your place? Is it to make you grow taller or prevent you from getting old?
Therefore, Yang Ruoqing supported Kang Xiaozi's decision to buy chickens in Zhoujia Village.

"Kang boy, when are you planning to go to Zhoujia Village to buy chickens?"

Luo the blacksmith, holding a teacup in his hand, leisurely entered through the door of the third room.

Seeing this, Madam Sun stood up and smiled, her tone tinged with reproach, "Brother Blacksmith, you know, when you come to my house, how can you not have a bowl of tea?"

Everyone could tell that although Sun's words were meant as a reproach, she was not actually angry or annoyed; rather, they reflected a close and warm relationship.

Luo the blacksmith laughed and said, "I brewed this tea earlier, but I only drank it once. I couldn't bear to waste it, so I brought it with me when I came out for a stroll."

"Here, let me add some water for you." Madam Sun came over, took the teacup from the blacksmith Luo, and went to add hot water.

Luo the blacksmith didn't stand on ceremony with Sun and just went along with her.

Yang Ruoqing helped him get a stool and put it there.

Luo the blacksmith came over and sat down on the stool. He asked Kang the boy, "I was standing by the door earlier and I heard you and Qing'er talking. What, you want to go to Zhoujia Village to buy chickens?"

Kang nodded: "Yes, Uncle Blacksmith, my parents asked me to go to the chicken farm in Zhoujia Village to buy some chickens and ducks for my older sister to take care of during her postpartum period."

Luo the blacksmith nodded repeatedly: "The old hen and spotted duck for postpartum care, you've come to the right place. Are you free tomorrow? I'll take you to Zhoujia Village!"

"That would be wonderful, thank you very much, Uncle Blacksmith."

Yang Ruoqing sat to the side, smiling with her lips pursed.

Counting the days, it's clear that my uncle hasn't visited my sister in Zhoujia Village all summer.

However, when his sister's family, Dazhi, his wife, and their child returned last month, the Zhou family all came over, had lunch here, and then went back.

At that time, because there were many guests coming to the house, Luo the blacksmith was busy entertaining them, so he had very little time to be alone with his sister, and there were many things he hadn't done for her yet.

So he must have been looking for an opportunity to visit his sister's house all this time.

Some might say, "If a brother wants to visit his sister, why doesn't he just go directly? Why does he need to deliberately look for an opportunity?"
Hehe, that's different.

Luo the blacksmith is a member of the Luo family and has his own family. Especially when Luo Fengtang is not at home, he, as the old man, has to stay at home and take care of things, and cannot leave easily.

Especially now that Nini's fourth generation has come out, and she has two young grandsons, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, instead of staying home to help with chores and take care of the children, Luo the blacksmith, an old man who is the head of the family, is running around visiting relatives.
Even though Yang Ruoqing didn't have any demands on him, he did have demands on himself. Some gossipy people in the village liked to talk behind his back, saying that so-and-so's old man and woman were idle and neglected their families, going out to visit relatives every few days. Every time they visited relatives, they carried huge baskets full of things, and that the family's meager savings were being carried away basket by basket by basket...

Now, Pei Kang's trip to Zhoujia Village to buy a buyer presents Luo the blacksmith with the perfect opportunity.

Of course, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian would not deliberately make things difficult for or stop the old man. Yang Ruoqing also turned a blind eye to the old man sending things to the Zhou family.

In her eyes, what her uncle gave away was not just a physical gift, but a wealth of emotional value.

I'm getting old and my health isn't good, so as long as I'm happy, that's all that matters.
