Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 12108

The courtyard was equipped with a small kitchen, which was fully equipped with oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, firewood, water tanks, and so on.

Furthermore, when Yang Ruoqing had dinner with the two children earlier, she had already left Luo Fengtang's portion separately there. Now, all that's needed is to add some firewood before serving it.

"Madam, let me help you." Ronggu also came to the small kitchen.

"No need, you can help clean up after we finish eating."

Soon, Yang Ruoqing returned to the small main room with the heated dinner, and at that moment, Luo Fengtang also came over from the children's room.

On the table were beef and egg fried rice, shrimp and pea stir-fry, and a bowl of sea cucumber, goji berry and radish soup. The soup was milky white and looked nutritious and delicious.

"So much? Qing'er, you've had a hard time." Luo Fengtang came to the table, pulled out a chair, and said, "Qing'er, eat with me."

"I've already eaten, I can't eat anymore."

"Then you should sit here and keep me company."

"it is good!"

Rong Gu watched all this with a smile, then quietly retreated to the room where the two children were sleeping.

When Rong Gu came over to the room where the two children were sleeping, she happened to see Shao Yao, who had been watching over the children, also entering the room.

Rong Gu was surprised, then stepped forward and asked Shao Yao, "I told you to watch over the young masters, why did you come in from outside?"

Peony glanced at the small main room and said, "I've been guarding it the whole time. When the general came to see the young masters earlier, he asked me to wait outside. After he left, of course I had to go in quickly."

Rong Gu understood.

Peony knows its place, and the general is even more discreet, avoiding suspicion in great detail.

Rong Gu used to live in a wealthy family in Changhuaizhou. She was a servant in a household and was used to the petty and despicable things that happened in the backyards of wealthy families.

The lady, who was pregnant, was taking a nap in the inner room and could not serve the men, so the men rested on the soft couch in the outer room.

A pretty maid came in to change the incense in the incense burner, and then the two men started kissing on the soft couch. A wife with a strong-willed personality and a powerful family backing her up would rush out and make a scene.

Then the men took advantage of the chaos to leave, while the maid who had climbed onto the bed was left to the mistress as a sacrifice to vent her anger.

If the lady were a bit weak-willed, after making a scene, she might reluctantly take the maid who had climbed onto the bed into her room as a concubine or maidservant, and from then on, there would be another woman in the back courtyard competing for her favor.

In the eyes of Rong Gu and the other servants, these things were crystal clear.

For something to succeed, both sides need to be willing; it takes two to tango.

But ultimately, the root of the problem doesn't lie with those restless maids. Which maid or servant doesn't want to climb the social ladder, become someone of high status, and live a better life?

Therefore, the root of the problem always lies with the men in charge.

If everyone were as self-disciplined as General Luo, always keeping his wife in his heart, maintaining proper boundaries in any situation, and never being alone in a room with any other young woman besides his wife... then there would be far fewer of those troublesome things.

Madam, you are truly one of the most blessed women in the world!
“Peony, you’re a smart woman. Madam knows what’s going on.” Rong Gu patted Peony’s shoulder. “Let’s go in and keep the young masters company.”

In the main room, Yang Ruoqing had dinner with Luo Fengtang.

Although he was busy traveling at noon and had practically nothing to eat, he should have been starving.

However, in front of Yang Ruoqing, in order to keep her with him a little longer, he ate with great manners, yet still displayed a manly boldness.

Yang Ruoqing rested her chin on her hands, admiring him as he ate, and occasionally ladled soup for him.

Luo Fengtang's gaze deepened as he looked at the goji berries in the sea cucumber soup.

Sea cucumber is already a highly nutritious food, and when combined with goji berries...

Could it be that Qing'er is not satisfied with her performance these days?

It seems he needs to work even harder!
We must satisfy Qing'er. If things don't go smoothly, Zuo Junmo and his group might take advantage of the situation in time!

Yang Ruoqing had no idea that her unintentional act of scooping soup had triggered such a rich inner monologue in a certain man.

After they finished eating and washed up, Yang Ruoqing was about to chat with him about tomorrow's travel plans when he suddenly picked her up from behind and carried her straight to the bed.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Prove yourself."

……

This bed is really not as durable as the custom-made flower bed at home. The creaking sound when it sways makes Yang Ruoqing so embarrassed that she digs her toes into the ground.

She desperately wanted someone to stop, but that person was like someone on steroids, completely beyond her control.

Yang Ruoqing bit her lip, her face turning red. Now she could only hope that Rong Gu and Shao Yao, who were hard of hearing, wouldn't hear this!
Logically, they shouldn't be able to hear it, right?

Between the two bedrooms is a main room, but the main room is not very big. But no matter how big or small it is, at least there is an extra wall, right?
In the other bedroom, Peony and Ronggu had just picked up the two little brothers, Tuanyuan, to relieve themselves and put them back in bed to lull them to sleep.

Then they both lay back down on the tatami mat to continue sleeping, and then they heard a creaking sound coming from the next room.

In the quiet night, amidst the creaking sounds, the music was mixed with some strange, suppressed noises.

"Ronggu, what's that sound?" Peony asked in a low voice.

She's only 19 years old this year, about the same age as Luo Wuyou, and maybe even two months younger.

She came to the Luo family two years ago. Before that, she was a servant in her original master's household. Because she was young, she learned needlework and yard sweeping from the old women in the backyard. She was never sent to serve the master and mistress in their inner chambers, so...

Rong Gu coughed lightly, "There was no sound, you must have misheard. Go to sleep!"

"My hearing is perfectly fine, it's true, listen~"

"Stop talking. That noise came from the general and his wife's room... We shouldn't be listening."

Even the most naive peony realized what was happening at that moment. Her cheeks burned, her heart pounded, and she quickly pulled the blanket over her ears and tightly closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Rong Gu closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep, but the noise from the other room continued for a long time before gradually subsiding...

Our general is truly amazing! And the lady is enjoying her meal!

……

The next morning, Yang Ruoqing woke up with a sore back and aching waist. When Shaoyao brought in a basin of water to serve her, the girl kept her head down the whole time and didn't dare to look at Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing rubbed her lower back and said to Shaoyao, "Go and tell the kitchen staff not to send any more sea cucumber and wolfberry soup today."

"Yes."

After seeing Peony off, I dragged my aching legs to wash up and change.

Someone had gotten up before her and taken the children to the backyard to practice their stances and boxing. Their physical fitness is amazing, almost frighteningly so!
After Yang Ruoqing finished washing up, the father and his two children went back to their room chatting and laughing.

"mother!"

"Mom, get up!"

The two little ones rushed towards Yang Ruoqing.

"If we stay in bed too long, Dad will spank our bottoms; if Mom stays in bed too long, Dad won't spank her, and he'll even protect her and not let us disturb her!"

"Daddy's biased!" The two little ones clung to Yang Ruoqing's legs, looking up at her and complaining to her face.

Luo Fengtang stood behind, arms crossed, watching with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense. Your mother is tired, so naturally she needs to sleep more. You deserve a beating for staying in bed!"

The two little ones pouted, looking aggrieved, but dared not argue back.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at his mischievous eyes and glared at him.

Why is she so tired? Doesn't he realize that?

"What nonsense are you spouting in front of the child!" she warned him with her lips. His smile deepened, and a proud curve appeared on his lips.

That was confidence in his abilities.

Yang Ruoqing ignored him and bent down to wipe the sweat from the two children's brows with a handkerchief.

"You must be tired from practicing your boxing? You're all sweaty. Let's wash our hands and have some breakfast!"

"Mom, shall we go out to play after breakfast?"

"Yes, let's go out and have some fun."

"Mom, I want to buy sugar figurines and monkey masks."

"I also want!"

"Okay, eat your breakfast properly. Once you're full, I'll take you shopping."

……

For the rest of the day, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang took their two children to explore every street and alley in Wanghai County. The two children didn't even want to go back to the restaurant for lunch. The family of four found a small food stall on the street and ordered a few dishes in a crowded but lively little hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The four of them ate to their hearts' content.

Later that night, upon hearing that there was a temple fair at the City God Temple in the county town, the couple took their two children to the fair to play.

Almost all the street vendors you see during the day, and even those you don't, flock to the temple fair, their shouts and calls echoing everywhere.

The two little ones saw iron flower fireworks, monkey trainers and monkey shows, sugar figurine makers, lantern makers, riddle solvers with prizes, and the family of four even bought four lanterns to release by the river...

"Did you have fun today?" Yang Ruoqing asked the two little ones.

"Happy!"

"I'm so happy!"

"I wish I could play like this every day!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Yang Ruoqing laughed continuously.

Luo Fengtang laughed, but didn't forget to warn them: "How can you play like this every day? That's called wasting your time on trivial pursuits!"

On the way back, Tuantuan was already exhausted and was held in Luo Fengtang's arms.

Yuanyuan has better physical strength and energy than Tuantuan. Even though Pingan wanted to carry him back, Yuanyuan refused.

He was led back by Yang Ruoqing, walking with a brisk and energetic stride.

Yang Ruoqing turned to Luo Fengtang and whispered, "These two brothers don't look like twins anymore."

Luo Fengtang's gaze swept over his two children, his eyes crinkling with a smile, "Tuantuan will pursue a literary career in the future, and Yuanyuan will come with me to the military camp!"

Brothers fight tigers together, fathers and sons go to war together. With such good stamina, if he can't sit still in the classroom, and the bench is like a needle hole, then he should go to the battlefield to hone his skills, and ride on horseback!

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "That's hard to say. They have their own life scripts, and they won't follow ours."

Luo Fengtang agreed, saying, "No matter what the setting is, even if they stay at home to farm, my child, Luo Fengtang's child, must pass the test of character and have a sound moral compass!"

If your values ​​are distorted, no matter how well you do in other fields or how high you climb, it's all nonsense!
To get things done, first be a good person!
Looking at Luo Fengtang, Yang Ruoqing felt that he exuded a righteous aura, making him more and more upright and handsome the more she looked at him.

She instinctively moved closer to him and took his arm.

The moonlight followed them, casting long, warm shadows of the family of four on the ground.

……

Upon returning, they handed the two children over to Ronggu and Shaoyao. Ronggu and Shaoyao were also greeted with small items that the two children had brought back from the night market and temple fair.

"This is a gift for Little Sanzi, this is for Sister Lanlan, and this is for Sister Fuwa..."

Well, I guess Rong Gu and Shao Yao, these two full-time custodians, will have to carefully record all the banknotes now, and when they get home, they'll distribute the gifts to their friends according to the list.

This is a big task, both tedious and meticulous. If it's not done well, it will affect the two young masters' interpersonal relationships, and they'll probably cry and cling to them.

In the other room, after handing over the two little ones, Yang Ruoqing almost collapsed onto the soft couch, feeling that all the bones in her body were weak and limp. She couldn't even lift a finger, let alone get up.

"Oh my god, I think taking care of a baby should be added to the list of the ten most cruel tortures. It's so tiring!"

When taking care of a child, you have to follow the child's steps, help the child carry things, and in crowded places, you have to hold and carry the child to prevent them from being bumped or hurt by others.

Then, he doesn't want you to hold his hand or hug him. He'll break free from your embrace and run off to his favorite stall.

His figure is small, blending into the bustling crowd, so you have to keep your eyes on him at all times.

If you're not careful and don't land on him, you might lose track of him.

Besides these, you also need to keep your mouth shut. You should remind him not to run around, and when he runs too fast for you to catch up with, you should call out to him loudly.

It really was an unprecedented ordeal that took me out of the house, from my hands and feet to my eyes, mouth and heart.

"Qing'er, have some water."

Luo Fengtang walked over, carrying a bowl of tea.

"Tang Ya Zi, I don't want to drink! I don't have the energy!"

Looking at Yang Ruoqing lying on the soft couch, looking utterly dejected, Luo Fengtang's eyes were full of smiles.

"Then I'll lift you up to drink; you just need to open your mouth."

Luo Fengtang bent down and pulled Yang Ruoqing into his arms, bringing the teacup to her lips.

With his hand, Yang Ruoqing drank a few sips of tea, and her throat, which had been hoarse all day, finally felt much better.

"That's enough, I'm done drinking."

"Ah."

Luo Fengtang put the teacup aside. "Let me massage your shoulders."

"Okay, okay, I really have a sore back, aching legs and cramps today!"

"I know, those two are too naughty, thank you for your hard work." Luo Fengtang sat down behind her, his large hands kneading her shoulders with just the right amount of pressure.

Yang Ruoqing squinted comfortably, "Honestly, taking care of kids is really not an easy thing! When I was taking care of Zhi'er and Wuyou, I didn't feel this tired!"

“Fool, how old were you back then! About 18 or 19 years old, you were still a big kid yourself!” Luo Fengtang said.
