Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 12068

For the rest of the journey, Luo Fengtang never got off the carriage again, staying inside to accompany Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing had exhausted too much of her energy from her previous dream, but fortunately, with Luo Fengtang by her side, she calmed down again and quickly fell asleep once more.

As dawn broke, the sounds of people and vehicles gradually filled the air outside the carriage. The bustling atmosphere of the city once again dispelled the darkness, and the noise returned to daylight. Yang Ruoqing finally woke up from her sleep and stretched comfortably.

Looking up, I saw Luo Fengtang sitting there, looking a little tired, with faint dark circles under his eyes.

Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized something, "Tang Yazi, last night... last night I slept like this, nestled in your arms the whole time?"

Luo Fengtang raised an eyebrow. "Hmm."

Like a kitten, once she's had a good sleep, she'll occasionally snuggle up to him and rub against him, which he thoroughly enjoys.

"You idiot, I'm asleep. Can't you just put me down and take a nap yourself?"

"You, you didn't just sit there all night, did you?"

Moreover, judging from his slightly stiff posture, Yang Ruoqing felt that her guess was almost correct!
A gentle smile appeared in Luo Fengtang's eyes. "I'm not sleepy. I need to watch you sleep so you can sleep soundly."

Yang Ruoqing couldn't refute his words, because with him by her side, her dreams were filled with his presence, so she slept very well the following night.

So much so that when I opened my eyes this morning, all the damage from the nightmare had been made up for.

Luo Fengtang examined her complexion. Hmm, she was no longer pale; the rosy glow she once had had returned.

Her eyes were watery and moist, and her skin was very smooth, like that of a newlywed bride.

Luo Fengtang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, a surge of urge to kiss her.

Just as he raised his hand to hold Yang Ruoqing's head, and leaned forward slowly, their lips about to touch, the voices of Tuantuan and Yuanyuan suddenly came from outside the carriage.

The two people, who had just been immersed in that ambiguous and romantic atmosphere in the carriage, separated from each other as quickly as possible.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head to tidy her clothes and hair, while Luo Fengtang coughed lightly, got up, and prepared to leave the carriage to ride a horse at the front.

Soon, the older one went out, and the two younger ones immediately squeezed in.

"mother!"

"mother!"

Both of them lunged at Yang Ruoqing at the same time.

Yang Ruoqing hugged them one on each side, "You got up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Yuanyuan rubbed her stomach: "I woke up because I was hungry."

Tuantuan tilted his head up and carefully examined Yang Ruoqing. The little guy asked very seriously, word by word, "Mom, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of nightmares, Tuantuan will protect you!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and touched Tuantuan's little face. "Mommy isn't afraid. Your father has already protected you. Mommy is all better now."

Tuantuan added, "I was worried about Mom, so worried that I couldn't sleep. I woke up a long, long time ago."

"I want to come see my mother and stay with her, but my sister said it's not dawn yet and won't let me come out."

"Oh? Who's complaining to Mother? Let me see."

Luo Wuyou's cheerful voice rang out from the doorway, and she then bowed and climbed into the carriage.

Upon seeing her eldest sister arrive, Tuantuan immediately changed her tune, saying, "My sister meant well; she was worried that my arrival would disturb Mother. My sister and I are both concerned about Mother."

Luo Wuyou bent his thumb and middle finger and gently tapped Tuantuan's forehead, causing no pain or itch.

"Good lad, all the mouths in our family are on one person's body," she said with a laugh.

Tuantuan touched her forehead and grinned, "I like it when my sister bounces on me, her hands smell nice."

Luo Wuyou rolled her eyes this time, then gently pinched the little girl's face with both hands and pulled it to both sides: "You little rascal, how come you're so good at talking? Huh?"

He was so good at flattering her that he completely charmed his older sister!

After playing with Tuantuan's little face a few times, Luo Wuyou turned his gaze to Yang Ruoqing.

"Mom, do you feel better after a nap?" she asked.

Feeling the care from her daughter, Yang Ruoqing felt a warm glow in her heart.

She nodded: "Much better. Last night, your father told me that it was fortunate that you woke me up, otherwise I would have strangled myself."

Upon hearing this, Luo Wuyou frowned slightly and his gaze fell on Yang Ruoqing's neck.

"Don't even mention it! I was terrified! You pinched yourself so hard!"

As they spoke, Luo Wuyou leaned closer and pulled open Yang Ruoqing's collar: "The red mark is still there! If my great-grandmother and grandma see it, they'll probably be worried."

"Huh? Is it that obvious? Let me see, where's the little mirror?"

"Here."

Yang Ruoqing took the small mirror from her daughter and held it up to look at her neck.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if the photo hadn't been taken, but once it was, Yang Ruoqing's scalp tingled.

Damn, that's a really hard pinch. In my dream, I clearly dreamt that Zhou Xia was pinching me, but in reality, it was my own hands pinching me.

Nightmares are terrifying. Those inexplicable things in the world, things you think don't exist, yet they're always on people's lips, and at certain moments they really interfere with your thoughts and actions... They're so scary!

Moreover, in the face of such power and things, the means and skills that one possesses with one's own body seem to be of no use.

We need to use methods from a specific field to deal with it. Hmm, it seems I'll have to find some time to talk to Master Yuan when I get back.

Even if Zhou Xia was swallowed by Luo Da'e in the dream, who knows when she might spit it out again?

Yang Ruoqing would never allow such a torturous nightmare to happen again.

When you were alive, Zhou Xia, you couldn't beat me. Now that you're dead, you're even less of a threat! Oh, right, you still have a grave, don't you? I'll dig it up, take out your bone fragments, smash them, grind them into powder, and that'll teach you a lesson for scaring me!
"Mom, I'm starving! I want to eat!" Yuanyuan rubbed her stomach and sat there irritably, yelling.

Luo Wuyou and Tuantuan turned their heads almost simultaneously to glare angrily at Yuanyuan, leaving Yuanyuan's face full of confusion.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" he asked, puzzled.

Tuantuan sighed, speaking in a tone like a little adult: "Little brother, you're so insensible! You don't even know how to care for your mother."

Yuanyuan turned to Yang Ruoqing: "You're all concerned, so I'm not an exception. I'm hungry..."

"Eat, eat, all you know is eating! If you say you're hungry again, I'll throw you out!" Luo Wuyou said, her face darkening as she adopted the authority of an elder sister.

Yuanyuan was immediately taken aback and quickly pursed her lips, not daring to utter a sound.

Yang Ruoqing gave Luo Wuyou a look, signaling her to let it go; Yuanyuan was still young and didn't understand. But then she thought, what about Tuantuan?

They are twins, and their arrival times were no more than 20 minutes apart.

Well... I can only say that every child has a different personality, personality traits, and way of expressing emotions.

But Yang Ruoqing was absolutely certain that her Yuanyuan was not the kind of cold-hearted child. This child was introverted and probably more like Luo Fengtang.

"Let me see where we are, don't worry," Yang Ruoqing said, lifting the car window curtain to discern the receding scenery.

It seems we've passed Wanghai County and are almost at Qingshui Town?
"Qing'er, what is it?"

Hearing the commotion in the carriage behind him, Luo Fengtang turned around and saw Yang Ruoqing looking around.

“Yuanyuan said he’s hungry. He doesn’t like the snacks we brought. Do you think we should find a place to stop and have breakfast before going back to the village?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Fengtang looked up and surveyed the surroundings, then pointed ahead and said, "We'll be in Qingshui Town in about a mile. Let's go to Tianxiang Restaurant in town for breakfast!"

"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing smiled at him and drew the curtains.

"I don't want to eat at Tianxianglou, I want to eat somewhere else," Yuanyuan said.

"Why do we need to change it?" Tuantuan asked.

Yuanyuan said, "Let's eat somewhere else. I'm so tired of Tianxianglou!"

Tuantuan rolled her eyes at Yuanyuan: "If we eat at another restaurant, we have to pay, right? Tianxianglou is our own place, so meals there are free!"

Yuanyuan added, "But I haven't really tried other places' food yet..."

Tuantuan shook her head: "Once you eat it, you'll find that they're all pretty much the same, but ridiculously expensive!"

"Brother, don't we have any money? But I heard from Brother Xiao Sanzi and the others that we are the richest family in the village!" Yuan Yuan tilted her head, her eyes so clear they were almost frightening.

Tuantuan shook her head repeatedly: "Even if our family is rich, we can't be so extravagant. Money doesn't grow on trees or fall from the wind!"

"Oh, then I won't eat out." Yuanyuan seemed to have taken it to heart and gave in.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Wuyou sat to the side listening to the brothers' conversation, the mother and daughter frequently exchanging glances to convey their feelings at that moment.

In short, Tuantuan is precocious and mature beyond his years.

Yuanyuan is very innocent and naive, but fortunately she can listen to advice.

"How old are you? You're already tired of eating?" Luo Wuyou stepped in. "I'm 19 years old this year, and I'm not tired of eating. There are even many things in our family restaurant that I haven't had a chance to try yet. You're not even three years old, and you dare to tell me you're tired of eating?"

Yuan Yuan chuckled.

Luo Wuyou scooped Yuanyuan up and pulled her onto her lap, saying, "Sit down and don't move. Last night, your brother-in-law said you've gained weight, and he told me to weigh you carefully... Oh dear, Yuanyuan, you really have gained a lot of weight. You should lose weight, and you're still eating..."

The siblings were making a ruckus in the carriage, their laughter carrying through the curtains to Luo Fengtang and Zuo Jinling.

They both smiled knowingly.

Other pedestrians passing by on the roadside were also infected by the children's cheerful laughter from inside the carriage.

Yang Ruoqing could only cover her forehead in secret. No matter how hard the passersby racked their brains, they probably couldn't have imagined that they had returned overnight to pay their respects.
The carriage arrived at Tianxianglou Restaurant in Qingshui Town, just as breakfast was about to begin.

The restaurant reopened the day after the Lantern Festival, which was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Today, the manager of Tianxiang Restaurant has changed to Yang Yongqing.

Xiao Mo brought her two children and Jin Shi to the town's restaurant to patronize it.

Little Mo was literate and a good helper to Yang Yongqing. Jin took care of two children, and the family managed to earn money and raise the children at the same time.

Counting the days, today is already the 21st day of the first lunar month, and it's also the fifth day since the restaurant reopened after the New Year.

Yang Ruoqing and her entourage parked their carriages at the back door of the restaurant, leaving someone to look after them. Luo Fengtang, Yang Ruoqing, and the children got out of the carriages and came in for breakfast.

They didn't eat in the main lobby, but went straight upstairs to eat in one of the private rooms.

Pan-fried buns, pan-fried dumplings, savory pancakes, egg pancakes, steamed buns, paper-wrapped shumai, tea eggs, sweet soy milk... a whole table full of food!

Ms. Mo even specially asked the chef to cook a shrimp and egg fried rice for the two brothers, saying it was a new dish recently launched by the restaurant.

They ate until they were completely satisfied, their mouths greasy with oil.

Yang Ruoqing discovered that the restaurant's new menu included congee with preserved egg and lean pork, so she promptly ordered a bowl.

Drinking very authentic century egg congee and eating a few pan-fried buns, Yang Ruoqing was also satisfied.

Yang Yongqing was busy in the lobby downstairs. He gave Yang Ruoqing and the others a quick greeting and then forgot about everything else.

Xiao Mo and Jin brought their two children upstairs to talk to Yang Ruoqing and the others.

"Sister-in-law, how have you been adjusting these past few days?" Yang Ruoqing asked Xiao Mo after taking a few sips of the congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

Ms. Mo's face was beaming with smiles. She had changed into a smart and capable style of clothing, and her eyes were sparkling, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

"I was a bit overwhelmed when I got busy the first couple of days, but now that five or six days have passed, I'm getting more and more comfortable with it," said Ms. Mo.

"That's good. Everything takes time. If Fifth Uncle, Second Brother, and Chen Biao can do it, I believe Little Brother and Sister-in-law can definitely do it too!" Yang Ruoqing added.

"Qing'er, thank you for saying that. Your brother and I will definitely do our best to manage the restaurant well for you!" said Madam Mo.

Opportunities are given by benefactors. In a person's life, there are three rises and three falls, but in reality, many people may not have three rises, but they have far more than three falls.

When you look back on your life in old age, you realize that you have accomplished nothing and missed opportunities without even realizing it at the time. In the end, you are forced to make peace with yourself and tell yourself that a simple life is the best.

But if we really ask ourselves honestly, who comes into this world, born as a human being, and doesn't want to do something that gives them a sense of accomplishment?

Even a salted fish wants to be flipped over!
Therefore, Yang Yongqing and Xiao Mo talked about this precious opportunity to manage the restaurant in town countless times at night, and the couple were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Yang Yongqing, in particular, wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was not yet 40 years old and that his two children were still young and not in a hurry to get married, so that he could roll up his sleeves and make a big splash.

To build a legacy for one's children will give them more confidence when they get married in the future.

So they really poured all their heart and soul into this restaurant.

Yang Ruoqing saw the couple's drive and enthusiasm.

This is also the main reason why she readily agreed to hand over the restaurant to the couple.

Yang Yongjin, he's very experienced in managing restaurants, after all, he's managed them for so many years.

However, precisely because he had managed the household for so many years, and both of his daughters had gotten married, he had probably accumulated some dowry money for his mistress.

Then, the events involving his mistress over the past few years may have had a certain impact on and changed Yang Yongjin's mentality, so Yang Yongjin has lost his 'aggressive' attitude.
