Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11945

However, more than those feelings, Luo Fengtang was concerned about why Qing'er trusted him so much.

Do they just accept whatever they say without questioning it? Do they not even utter a single word of doubt? Or even entertain the thought of questioning it?
"Tang Yazi, why would I question you? You've never lied to me. Trusting you has become a habit of mine."

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, "Moreover, this habit has long been integrated into my body and soul, and I can never separate myself from it."

Luo Fengtang was once again touched by Yang Ruoqing's words, and sat there blankly, only able to smile foolishly.

Yang Ruoqing had no interest in paying attention to him anymore, because she was completely immersed in enjoying the delicious food that Luo Fengtang had brought.

After breakfast, Luo Fengtang went to the neighboring yard to help Yang Huazhong shovel snow, but Yang Huazhong was in no hurry to shovel because he wanted to go to Sun's house to shovel snow first.

When Yang Ruoqing learned of this, she laughed and said, "They are all good sons-in-law. Good sons-in-law are a family tradition."

However, when the two good sons-in-law arrived at the Sun family's house to help them shovel snow, they had only cleared the path from the courtyard gate to the main hall when the snow, which had stopped for an hour or two, suddenly began to fall again in a flurry...

Old Sun "chased" the two of them back, telling them they couldn't shovel snow anymore. So, Luo Fengtang had no choice but to take his shovel and go home to continue helping the two children build a snowman.

Meanwhile, in the front and back yards of the Luo family's house, several snowmen had already been erected against the walls.

Tall, short, fat, thin, wearing hats, wearing scarves, men, women...

The children really enjoyed building snowmen. They were unhappy when they saw that the snow had stopped and they didn't have enough materials to build a snowman!
Seeing the snow falling again, the children, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, were overjoyed. They immediately rushed out of the house, tilted their heads back, and raised their hands to catch the large snowflakes, shouting with delight.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang exchanged a smile.

Yang Ruoqing said, "Well, you've missed your chance to be a good son-in-law and grandson-in-law, but you've got another chance to be a good father and help build the snowman!"

Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded: "I've stolen half a day of leisure. It's been a long time since I've spent time with them properly. I have to seize this opportunity."

"Okay, then you go and help the sons build the snowman. I'll go to the kitchen to find some ingredients and cook you something delicious for lunch!"

It snowed all day long, and the outside world was covered in a blanket of white, so clean that not a speck of dust could be found!
In the backyard of the Luo family, Yang Ruoqing had prepared a lavish feast. In the center of the table was a large hot pot with two separate broths, surrounded by plates and dishes of all sizes, filled with meat and vegetables for hot pot. It was fragrant, spicy, and quite lively.

"I love heavy snow!" Tuantuan smacked her lips, her little face flushed red from the steam of the hot pot.

Yuanyuan was already engrossed in eating, her mouth covered in oil.

Hearing her brother's words, Yuanyuan looked up and chimed in, "It's fun when it snows heavily, and there's delicious food too."

Tuantuan suggested, "Little brother, shall we build a snowman again this afternoon?"

Yuanyuan shook her head: "Okay, we'll build an entire military camp, and warhorses too!"

The adults in the room all laughed. Well, this snow has brought the Luo family a massive army.

In the afternoon, Luo Fengtang spent an hour helping them build a snowman. Later, the snow simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which the father and sons were building the snowman.

In addition, the snowflakes were falling on them. Although they were wearing thick clothes and hats, Yang Ruoqing was worried that they would get frostbite or get sick from getting their clothes wet after being exposed to the outdoors for a long time. So she quickly called them all back inside.

Before they could even rest inside, the two children started clamoring to go outside and have a snowball fight.

Wow, he's a real player, so full of energy!

"I wonder what the situation is like at my daughter's camp. I'm thinking of going there tomorrow to check on things and bring them some supplies," Luo Fengtang said.

Although there are still seven or eight days left, the camp will be temporarily closed so that everyone can go home for the New Year. Female soldiers who have no home to go home can continue to stay at the camp, but Luo Wuyou will definitely go back to the village for the New Year.

Even so, Luo Fengtang, the old father, was still worried about whether the heavy snow would affect the supply of goods to his daughter.

"It would be good for you to go. Take a few more people with you and bring the supplies needed for the New Year to our daughter. That way, we won't have to worry about that before the New Year."

"Okay, you can arrange it."

Speaking of the female soldiers that Luo Wuyou has been training in the mountain camp, it has been four or five years now.

Those poor girls who were "picked up" from the surrounding villages have all grown up now, averaging around fifteen or sixteen years old.

If they had stayed with their parents or relatives, they might have been sold long ago, or sent to marry old bachelors to have children and become tools for reproduction.

So the girls who entered the camp were actually the ones who were born with the most unfortunate fates.

But because they got into the camp, they were also the luckiest ones.

In the past few years, they have followed Luo Wuyou and have no worries about food and clothing. They have a place to live, and the camp is their home. They can also learn martial arts from Luo Wuyou, not only for self-defense, but also to become a well-trained female soldier under Luo Wuyou's organization and leadership. They are stationed in the camp to ensure the peace of the surrounding mountains and protect the people in the mountains from the harassment of mountain bandits!

Moreover, Luo Wuyou's female soldiers will follow her after she gets married, becoming her bodyguards.

This is similar to, yet different from, the maids and servants who accompanied the bride.

What they have in common is that they will always follow Luo Wuyou, regardless of whether she gets married or not. However, the difference is that they will protect her and serve her as guards.

If the maids and servants who accompanied her in her dowry, such as Ronggu, Linglan, or Shaoyao, were Luo Wuyou's right-hand women in the inner quarters of her husband's family, then these female soldiers were Luo Wuyou's right-hand women outside the home.

To reiterate, the daughter of the Luo family is a completely different matter from someone else's wife in the traditional sense.

As for being a good wife and mother, it depends on her mood. The inner quarters have never been a gilded cage that confines her; rather, they are the big tree she can rest under when she is tired of flying.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, that so-called "tree of refuge" is not unchangeable; it all depends on her own choice.

Of course, if possible, Yang Ruoqing naturally hopes that she and Zuo Jinling can be together for a hundred years.

The snow started falling last night, and it fell intermittently during the day. By evening, when it got dark, the snow was falling heavily. When you stepped on the snow, even short people with short legs were up to their knees.

"I hope it snows every day and never stops." Yuanyuan stood at the entrance of the dining hall, looking at the snow in the yard, very happy and excited.

"I promised Brother Xiao Sanzi that I would go to his house tomorrow to help him build a snowman," Yuanyuan added.

After he finished speaking, he noticed that his brother didn't say anything, so he turned around and looked back. He saw his brother sitting on a small stool, elbows on his knees, hands supporting his chin, staring blankly at the snow outside, as if he hadn't heard what he said.

"Brother, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Yuan Yuan curiously approached her brother and gently nudged Tuan Tuan.

Tuantuan turned her head and looked at Yuanyuan. Her little face was drooping, and there was no joy in her eyes because of the snow.

He even sighed softly and said, "I don't want the snow to keep falling. I'm worried that if it keeps falling, the roads will be difficult to travel on, and my uncle, cousins, and other relatives will have trouble getting back."

"Huh?" Yuan Yuan was dumbfounded. She didn't expect her brother to be thinking about these things.

"And another thing, the snow is so heavy that it has buried the ground. The cattle at Aunt Duo'er's pasture can no longer roam freely. They can only stay cooped up in the small cowshed, which is so uncomfortable."

"Ah? Brother, you've thought of so many things! I didn't even think of that." Round-faced with admiration, she squatted down next to Tuantuan, imitating Tuantuan's posture, resting her chin on her little hand, and looking up at her brother. "Brother, what you said is so good, keep going, I want to hear more."

Tuantuan raised her hand and patted Yuanyuan's little head, then said, "Do you remember when we went to deliver sugarcane to Sister Lanlan's house before?"

"Of course I remember! My godmother even gave us some candy!"

"Did you hear what your godmother and godfather said?"

"What are you talking about?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked bewildered, because he was so focused on eating candy that he hadn't paid any attention to what the adults were saying.

Tuantuan said, "My godfather said that the walls of their house were leaking when it rained a while ago, and now it's snowing heavily. If the snow keeps falling, the house might collapse."

“If my godmother’s house collapses, then Lanlan will be homeless. That’s what I’m worried about.”

"Oh, so that's what you're worried about, brother? What's there to worry about?" Yuanyuan said dismissively. "We have so many rooms in our house. I'll go talk to Mom and ask her to prepare a room for Lanlan. It's no big deal!"

Tuantuan shook her head: "What about godfather and godmother? They have nowhere to live either!"

"We have plenty of rooms, so let godmother and godfather move in!"

"But what if other houses in our village also collapse, leaving nowhere for people to live?"

"Then invite them all to our house. We have lots of rooms and a big yard, enough to house many, many people."

Tuantuan's eyes lit up. "Great idea! As expected of my little brother, just like me, so smart!"

Yuan Yuan was very happy to receive his brother's praise. He stood up and said, "Brother, why don't we go find Mother right now and ask her to make arrangements?"

"it is good!"

After saying that, the two brothers held hands and ran out of the canteen, heading straight for the dormitory in the front yard.

This startled Linglan and Ping'an behind them. "Tuanbao, Yuanbao, with such heavy snow, where are you going?"

“Let’s go find Mother to discuss something important!” Tuantuan responded, but Yuanyuan did not.

Because Yuan Yuan, who was running ahead, stepped into the snow and found that it was already up to his thighs.

Yes, the snow is up to an adult's calves or knees. If you put it on these little kids, they'll be submerged up to their thighs with just one step! It's not an exaggeration at all!
"Oh no, brother, we can't walk anymore!" Yuanyuan shouted to Tuantuan.

Tuantuan also came over, and then, being slightly shorter than Yuanyuan, he was buried up to his thighs in snow and couldn't move.

"Help! Someone help us! We can't get out!" Tuantuan tried her best to pull her legs away, but her face turned red from exerting too much force, and her legs were useless.

A pair of large hands descended from the sky, pulled Tuantuan out of the snow, and then held her in their arms.

"Didn't I tell you not to play in the snow anymore? Why didn't you listen?"

Yang Ruoqing's gentle voice landed on Tuantuan's head. He looked up and saw that it was his mother. He immediately became happy and cupped Yang Ruoqing's face in his hands, excitedly saying, "Mother, you've come just in time! My brother and I have something extremely urgent to tell you!"

Urgent?
Yang Ruoqing chuckled and turned to look behind her.

Behind him, Luo Fengtang pulled the bear-like creature out of the snow like a radish and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

Luo Fengtang had obviously heard what Tuantuan said, and he raised an eyebrow. "Let's go talk in the cafeteria."

Inside the canteen, which was warm and cozy, Lily of the Valley and Peony brought clean handkerchiefs and helped clean the snowflakes off the two little ones' heads, bodies, and shoes. Then they handed them two small copper hand warmers.

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang had already sat down next to the fire bucket, warming themselves while waiting for dinner to be served.

"Come here, tell me, what's the most urgent matter?" Yang Ruoqing beckoned to the two children, her eyes filled with gentle love.

The two children huddled together in front of the hot tub, eagerly sharing their earlier ideas with Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

The couple listened in stunned silence. When they exchanged glances, their eyes clearly showed the same shock and relief.

I never imagined that my two youngest children could have such a compassionate side.

That's good, that shows that despite their privileged family environment, the two children haven't become spoiled brats or people who think "why don't they eat meat porridge?"

On the contrary, the two children were able to extend so much from the snow. If they were only worried that Jiang Lan's house would collapse, that would be a personal matter of love.

But when that extends to worrying about other houses in the village collapsing, that becomes true love.

In Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang's long-held belief in raising their children, the first rule is that they must not have the heart of a saint or saint. This is the premise.

I'd rather you be a selfish person who can protect yourself than a saint who does so-called good deeds beyond your capabilities. In this world, truly honest and upright people never reach the top, and those who stand at the top are never truly honest and upright people.

The second rule is to teach children to have a kind heart.

Because this is the most basic and correct set of values ​​a person should have.

One must have a broad perspective and a good mindset. One must possess both a compassionate heart and a ruthless approach; lacking either one makes one incomplete.
