Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11986

In the morning, after Yang Ruoqing got up and washed up, she came to Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan's room and called the brothers to get up.

This morning, all the members of the Luo family, except for Dazhi and Chen'er who couldn't be present, went to the small second room across the street for the banquet.

Even Luo Wuyou was picked up from the camp by Luo Fengtang yesterday evening.

Furthermore, Luo Wuyou will not return to the camp for the rest of the year after his return. He will return after the New Year. Hongxiu will be left to look after the camp.

Yang Ruoqing arrived at the door of Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan's house and happened to run into Luo Wuyou.

Today, Wuyou changed her usual blue, black, or dark red clothing at the camp. Instead, she wore a light pink cotton-padded jacket with a white rabbit fur collar and a light blue pomegranate-colored long skirt underneath.

Her usual high-swept hair had been styled differently today, now in a braid covering her bangs, with a white tassel adorned with pearls framing her forehead, and matching white pearl earrings on her ears.

Tall, well-proportioned, and plump, with a face full of collagen, her features exude a vibrant and spirited air. At first glance, one can sense her liveliness, confidence, health, and easygoing nature.

In short, it's absolutely gorgeous and elegant!

"You look great in this outfit today, your taste has improved again!" Yang Ruoqing looked Luo Wuyou up and down, her eyes showing appreciation, and gave her a thumbs up.

Luo Wuyou brushed a strand of hair that had fallen to her chest and smiled brightly: "Sister Xiuxiu's wedding was arranged long ago, and I was asked to be her bridesmaid!"

"Oh? You two had this agreement?" Yang Ruoqing raised an eyebrow. "So this is the second time you've been her bridesmaid? I remember you were one when she got married last time, right?"

Luo Wuyou chuckled and stepped forward to take Yang Ruoqing's arm. "Mother, you have such a good memory! That's right, I've been a bridesmaid for the same bride twice. Isn't that strange?"

"Hmm, it is a bit outrageous, but your bridesmaid makeup today is really beautiful! Even more beautiful than the bride!"

"No, no, no!" Luo Wuyou shook her head vigorously. "The bride is the star today. As her bridesmaid, I can't steal her thunder."

After saying that, she looked down at her outfit and continued, "Last time I was Sister Xiuxiu's bridesmaid, I dressed too plainly. I was thinking, if I dressed more festively, would her marriage be more successful? So this time I specially chose a brighter color to wear, hoping to bring Sister Xiuxiu good luck!"

Huh? I never imagined that my daughter, who's always wielding swords and spears, would have such a sensitive and delicate side?

Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Wuyou with affection and said softly, "The last time their marriage was unhappy, it was their own fault and had nothing to do with outsiders. Even if you dressed up in red and green, you couldn't save it."

"Yes, I understand. Hehe, I was just saying, Mother, don't take it seriously."

"Okay." Yang Ruoqing gently patted Luo Wuyou's hand. Her daughter used to be too lazy to dress up, but as soon as she dressed up a little, look at her, she immediately became a bright pearl.

Her looks, figure, personality, and temperament are all outstanding.

Even if they are born in the countryside and raised in the village, they are still 'raised in a wealthy manner' from a young age.

This "affluent upbringing" doesn't just refer to the luxurious material life of a nouveau riche, but rather to "affluent upbringing" in everything from clothing, food, housing, and transportation to the child's spiritual world. Luo Wuyou's temperament is the result of eighteen years of "affluent upbringing," and even wearing coarse linen clothes cannot conceal her temperament.

So even though she just said that the two brides were the most beautiful people today, Yang Ruoqing was absolutely certain that the relatives and friends who came to the banquet today would be focusing their attention on Luo Wuyou.

"Mother, I came to wake my two younger brothers up. What about you? Are you here too?"

"Yes, we're all going to your second uncle's house for breakfast today, they can't sleep in."

"That's what I was thinking too. I was worried that if you called them, it wouldn't work, and I'd have to go myself."

"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

The mother and daughter entered the house hand in hand. The inner room was warm and cozy. Peony stood by the bed, holding Tuantuan's little cotton-padded jacket, trying her best to coax Tuantuan to get up.

On the other side, Yuanyuan was also fast asleep, wrapped in her blanket.

Seeing this, the mother and son exchanged a glance. Indeed, they had gotten up about half an hour earlier than usual today, so it was normal for the two little ones to be reluctant to get out of bed.

But aren't we going to have breakfast? Even if I can't get up, I have to force myself to get up!

Moreover, judging from how Peony is, she might dawdle until the morning banquet starts, and she still might not be able to wake the two little ones up.

"Sister Peony, step aside, I'll do it," Luo Wuyou whispered to Peony.

Peony quickly stepped aside, making room for Luo Wuyou in front of the bed.

Yang Ruoqing watched with a smile. When she saw Luo Wuyou raise her hand, Yang Ruoqing's first thought was that her daughter was going to use her cool hand to touch her two younger brothers' faces and wake them up with this icy stimulation.

Yang Ruoqing then realized she had guessed wrong.

Luo Wuyou quietly slipped his hand under the corner of the blanket and began to tickle Tuantuan's waist.

"Giggle..." Tuantuan, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly burst into laughter, her body contorting in the blankets, and she opened her eyes.

"My sister is so mean!"

"Haha, to deal with a little rascal like you who's pretending to be asleep, you have to be ruthless."

After waking Tuantuan, Luo Wuyou did not follow the same method to tickle Yuanyuan. Instead, he went to Yuanyuan's head, bent down and gently pinched Yuanyuan's earlobe, and blew on his earlobe.

Yuanyuan turned over and woke up too, "Sister!"

"And Mother!" Tuantuan reminded from the side.

"What are you doing?" Yuanyuan sat in the quilt, rubbed her eyes, and then casually wiped her hands, which were still covered in eye boogers, on the quilt.

Oh my god, this action is so hot it hurts Yang Ruoqing's eyes.

Luo Wuyou, who was standing to the side, was also stunned, so much so that he didn't even have time to stop the action.

Peony, however, seemed completely unfazed. At this point, Yang Ruoqing realized that these two little ones, especially Yuanyuan, had probably done this quite often.

No wonder, no wonder, no wonder Peony and Lily of the Valley change their duvet covers, sheets and pillowcases every few days, even in winter.

"This bad habit needs to be corrected. Eye boogers and nasal boogers, you're not allowed to rub them on the bedding anymore!" Yang Ruoqing stepped forward, gently poked the round head, her gaze tender but her tone serious.

Yuanyuan grinned, feeling a little embarrassed at being caught doing something wrong.

However, because his skin tone is dark, even if he blushes, it's not very noticeable, unlike Tuantuan, whose blushes are clearly visible.

So sometimes black has its advantages; at least it can provide a form of camouflage.

Peony had already prepared a basin of clean hot water and placed it on the table next to her. She had also wrung out a cloth and brought it over.

"Let me do it." Yang Ruoqing took the handkerchief, then helped Yuanyuan wash his face, and wiped his little hands afterward.

These little hands are so chubby, and the fingers are so round.

After wiping Yuanyuan, Luo Wuyou quickly brought his clothes and helped him put them on. Yang Ruoqing was about to continue wiping Tuantuan, but Tuantuan backed away, refusing the steaming washcloth in Yang Ruoqing's hand.

"What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing was still a little confused.

At that moment, Peony's soft laughter came from behind, "Madam, use this. The basins for Tuanbao and Yuanbao are separate from the handkerchiefs."

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment.

She didn't completely hand over the two children to her family to take care of. For many days recently, the two children slept with her and Luo Fengtang at night.

They only moved back to their own room a few days ago, and before that, when they slept with her, Yang Ruoqing would help them with their laundry every night.

We always use the same basin of hot water to wash our faces, buttocks, and feet; we've never separated them. So why are we separating them this morning? Is Peony a particular person?

Peony whispered something in Yang Ruoqing's ear, and Yang Ruoqing instantly realized what was happening.

So, it turns out that neither she nor Peony is the person who is particular about things in this family.

Instead, it's a group.

This little guy dislikes his younger brother's morning routine, so he thinks his brother is dirty and refuses to share a towel or even a basin of water with him to wash his face for the first time in the morning.

"Alright, alright, here's a different handkerchief." Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, taking the handkerchief from Shaoyao again.

This time, Tuantuan, like a puppy, stopped hiding and brought her little face close for Yang Ruoqing to wipe.

The experience of wiping Tuantuan's face is different from wiping Yuanyuan's face.

Tuantuan's skin is fair and clean. After wiping, the fine friction on her skin makes it appear fair with a rosy glow.

The sleepiness in his eyes completely disappeared, and his eyes, full of energy, were so bright that they could truly be described as stars in the sky.

This son, like his maternal uncle Da'an, with rosy lips and white teeth, will surely grow up to be a handsome man and a charming young gentleman, Yang Ruoqing thought with secret pride.

As for handsome men being more likely to attract attention outside the home?

Sigh, this is a headache, but if someone is extremely ugly, so ugly that no one cares about them, their parents will probably have an even bigger headache.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Wuyou were dressing the two little ones, preparing to give them some hot water to drink before taking them to the small two-room house across the main road, when Ping An came to report from the doorway.

"Madam, Miss, the Zuo family's son-in-law has come to deliver New Year's gifts!"

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Wuyou looked up at the same time, "We thought it would be a couple of days before we arrived, but we didn't expect you to come so early?"

"He's just idling at home anyway, so maybe he heard that his second uncle's cousins ​​are getting married today, so he came to join in the fun!" Luo Wuyou said, a hint of joy and excitement about seeing her lover flashing in the girl's eyes.

Yang Ruoqing immediately understood. It must have been when the two of them were exchanging letters that her daughter mentioned it to Jinling, so Zuo Jinling moved up the date for sending the New Year's gifts, combining the two occasions.

This child is so well-mannered. At such a young age, while others are still going through their rebellious teenage years, he has already inherited his family's tradition and can stand on his own.

"Ping An, where are the General and the Old Master?" Yang Ruoqing asked Ping An, who was waiting at the door.

"Reporting to Madam, the General and the Old Master have both gone to the small second room across the street, while the Old Madam has gone to the vegetable garden."

No wonder they're all home; no one's there to greet them.

“Then I’ll go to the main hall in the front yard to greet Jinling,” Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Wuyou said, "Mother, Jinling is not an outsider, there is no need for you to specially entertain him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Wuyou raised her voice to Ping An and said, "Tell him that my mother and I are dressing my two younger brothers. Tell him he can either have some tea in the main room and wait for a while, or he can come directly to this room."

"Yes!" Ping An quickly went to the front yard to reply.

At this moment, in the side room, Yang Ruoqing glared at Luo Wuyou: "People from Jinling have come all this way to deliver New Year's gifts. How can you let them into this room without even letting them have a sip of hot tea? That's very impolite."

“Mother, do you not know Jinling? I believe he won’t stay alone in the main room. He will definitely come to the backyard to find us because he hasn’t seen Tuantuan and Yuanyuan for a long time and misses them.”

When they heard their sister say that their brother-in-law missed them, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan exchanged a glance, and the two little ones proudly puffed out their chests, feeling like they had become the most sought-after babies!

"We miss our brother-in-law too!"

"I want the toy my brother-in-law brought me!"

"I want the beautiful picture books and other books my brother-in-law brought me!"

The two stood on the bed, arms outstretched, letting the adults help them put on their cotton-padded coats, while they eagerly expressed their longing for Zuo Jinling...

Luo Wuyou helped them button their clothes while smiling and dealing with them.

Yang Ruoqing watched this scene with a smile on her face.

You two silly girls, when you reach the age to get married, go to your future in-laws' house and see if you're really looking forward to your brothers-in-law or your beloved fiancées!

Speaking of which, my daughter has grown up and has learned to use deceptive tactics.

Alas, it's true. No matter how carefree a girl is, or how clever a boy is, once they develop a love-struck mind and are deeply in love, they like to secretly find excuses to meet, using the brother-in-law as a pretext.

A good mother-in-law knows what's going on but doesn't say anything!

Just as Luo Wuyou had said, Zuo Jinling soon arrived in the backyard.

"The son-in-law sends his regards to his mother-in-law."

"Good child, you've come so early. You must be freezing from the journey. Please sit down and have some hot tea."

"It's alright, it's not too cold, I'm wearing a lot of clothes."

However, apart from Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who didn't understand what Zuo Jinling said, the other three people in the room didn't believe it.

His face was frostbitten and bluish, with no color in it, and his lips were trembling.

Luo Wuyou handed him the teacup and noticed that his fingers were as cold as icicles.

"Mother~"

“Daughter, I’m taking your two younger brothers to your second uncle’s house first. You stay and talk to Jinling for a while. I’ll see your great-grandfather and your father later and call them back.”

Luo Wuyou had originally planned to find an excuse to take Zuo Jinling away, but now that her mother had brought it up, it was like someone had handed her a pillow when she was really sleepy.

"Okay, then I'll go with Jinling first."

Watching them leave, Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded. They were a perfect match!
