Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11827

Luo Wuyou looked utterly helpless, glaring at his two dumbfounded younger brothers at his feet, and said, "All you two remember is what we ate, drank, and played, right? When your second brother tells you something, you two really don't remember a single thing, huh?"

The two little ones' eyes darted around, Yuanyuan grinned and chuckled, while Tuantuan's face turned red.

"Second brother, you said so many things to us, I can't remember them all!"

"Could you remind me which sentence it is? Let me think about it?"

Chen'er gently stroked her younger brother's face and said, "When your second brother isn't home, you and your brother are the little men of the family. You have to take your second brother's place and help Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom with the household chores. Do you understand?"

"remember!"

This time, the two little ones nodded together, and Tuantuan said, "I can sweep the floor."

Yuanyuan said, "I will help dry the shoes at home."

Chen'er nodded with satisfaction, "You must keep practicing the martial arts I taught you. You must practice every day to strengthen your body."

Luo Wuyou said, "Have you remembered what your second brother said? I will supervise you. If you dare not practice, I'll hang you up and beat you!"

The two little ones looked frightened.

Chen'er quickly said to Luo Wuyou, "I believe they will be able to practice. Right, you guys?"

The two little ones nodded together. Yuanyuan said, "Second brother, once I've mastered the martial arts you taught me, can I join your army?"

Chen'er nodded: "Of course, Second Brother, we'll wait for you to come. We brothers will fight side by side."

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up, because he was most captivated by the feeling of his second brother taking him on acrobatic leaps...

Tuantuan didn't have much of an opinion on this. On the contrary, he wanted to learn his second brother's chess and painting skills, which he thought would be very cool.

Yang Ruoqing walked over and took Tuantuan and Yuanyuan's hands, saying to Chen'er, "Don't worry about the people and things at home. Take good care of yourself while you're away. When you have time, write home a few more letters so we know you're doing well, and then we can rest assured."

Chen'er kept these words firmly in mind. As she got up, she took Nini from Luo Wuyou's arms and held her in her own arms.

Strangely enough, Nini is at the age where she is 'shy around strangers', but she doesn't resist at all when her second uncle, Chen'er, holds her.

According to Madam Sun and Madam Liu, the child is very clever; he only lets young people and good-looking people hold him, and absolutely refuses to let the elderly hold him. Perhaps the child can smell the old man's scent on him...

Of course, these are just their personal opinions and do not represent Yang Ruoqing or anyone else.

In families with many children in the village, the parents are busy working in the fields, and the children are crawling on the ground. If there is an old lady in the family who can help take care of the children, the children are overjoyed. They scramble to get close to the old lady, wanting a bite to eat and a hug. The old lady is so happy...

After Chen'er hugged Nini and returned her to Luo Wuyou, he said goodbye to Xiao Qiao.

Then, after bidding farewell once again to Luo the blacksmith, Yang Huazhong, and other elders, she mounted her horse and, carrying with her deep maternal love and profound family affection, left Changping Village for a distant place…

After Chen'er left, Yang Ruoqing felt an emptiness in her chest.

It took her two or three days to recover. All of this was thanks to the presence of Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Nini, among other children, at home. The noise and activity they brought somewhat alleviated Yang Ruoqing's longing and discomfort.

Especially Nini, who, thanks to Xiao Qiao's teachings, would come to find her grandmother as soon as she opened her eyes every day, snuggling into Yang Ruoqing's arms and acting all cute and cuddly, melting Yang Ruoqing's heart. Yang Ruoqing, holding Nini, liked to stroll along the main road at the village entrance every day, her gaze fixed on the direction of the town.

“Girl, let’s wait here. After we see your second uncle off, we’ll welcome your father back soon. Then your grandfather will be back too. Oh, and your uncle-in-law will be there as well…”

"Our family should be all together, right, Ni'er?"

"Grow up quickly, Nini. When you're a little older, Grandma will take you to town to play."

"No, no, no, town is too small and not fun. Grandma will take you to the county town. We have a restaurant there, we'll stay there and go shopping. Grandma has money, my little girl, buy as much as you want, Grandma will pay for it..."

……

Yang Ruoqing knew she couldn't continue to be so immersed in romantic feelings. Not only would it hold Chen'er back and hinder his progress, but it would also worry the elders in the family.

These past few days, the elders in the family have been trying all sorts of ways to cheer Yang Ruoqing up. Xiao Duo's pasture is so busy in late autumn, with people working day and night to harvest and store hay for the cattle to prepare for the winter.

Even so, Xiao Duo still made time to visit the Luo family twice to chat with Yang Ruoqing and even invited Yang Ruoqing to bring the children to the playground...

Yang Ruoqing decided to cheer up, so on the third day, she suddenly decided to take the children to the county town for a two-day trip.

On the one hand, it's to give the children a change of environment. On the other hand, the Double Ninth Festival has already passed, and the weather will get colder day by day, and they will all need to wear cotton-padded coats.

So, there's one more thing we have to get together: the beef and mutton hot pot in the county town restaurants.

The beef for the beef hot pot comes from the Xiang family's pasture, while the sheep comes from a farm family on the road between Qing'an County and Wanghai County.

The farmer's name... I'm sorry, because Chen Biao and his team were the ones who were in contact with them, Yang Ruoqing didn't bother to remember the farmer's name.

Because that farmer had helped Yang Huazhong, Sun Shi, Da'an, and Xiao Hua when the roads were blocked by heavy snow last year.

They cleared out the best room in the house and slaughtered the last few chickens and ducks to entertain Yang Huazhong and his family.

To repay their kindness in helping him during his time of need, Yang Huazhong planned to give them gifts, but they refused.

Finally, Yang Ruoqing thought, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Give them gifts; it will temporarily improve their living conditions.

And then what? Won't things just revert to their original state?

Even a temporary improvement in living conditions might bring negative consequences; there's a saying that goes, "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

Therefore, it would be better to help them find a way to improve their family's living conditions in the long run. Moreover, this way is not something that others will deliver to them; they must do it themselves with their own hands and feet. Only in this way can they cherish what they have gained.

It just so happens that Yang Ruoqing's restaurant in the county town, after undergoing reforms, is preparing to launch a hot pot craze in the winter, and a stable supply of mutton has become an essential condition.

That family happened to be skilled at raising sheep, so they started this business.

Yang Ruoqing's trip to the restaurant in the county town was to start her hot pot business after winter.
