Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 4002

"Qing'er, you and Tang Yazi are leaving for Yangzhou tomorrow. These are the two pairs of shoes I made for Dazhi. Take them with you."

While cooking dinner, Mrs. Sun came over.

Yang Ruoqing hurriedly put down the spatula in her hand, and stretched out her hands to take the two pairs of shoes.

"Mom, I'm tired of working you out. These shoes are really well made. The stitches are so fine and the style is beautiful. Zhi'er must be comfortable and energetic when wearing them." Yang Ruoqing praised.

Mrs. Sun smiled kindly, "It's just two pairs of shoes. Although this child is not my own grandson, he came here when he was one year old. He can't walk steadily, and he can't speak. Such a small child has been raised until now. , even if it is not a grandson, this affection is still there."

"Qing'er, you guys met Zhi'er in Yangzhou, tell him for me to let him come back when he's free, Gagonggapo misses him too."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely bring the words to you."

……

After packing up her things at night and lying on the bed, Yang Ruoqing tossed and turned.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say that you have to go early in the morning and sleep well tonight? Why are you still making pancakes?"

Luo Fengtang read the book of war for a while, came to sit down by the bed, raised his hand and gently held Yang Ruoqing's hand and asked.

Yang Ruoqing turned over and sat up, her hair cascading behind her like a waterfall.

Under the orange light, her delicate face was full of anxiety and apprehension.

"When I thought about going to Yangzhou to look for Zhi'er tomorrow, I was looking forward to it, and I was a little apprehensive. I imagined many situations in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep," she said.

Luo Fengtang looked into her eyes seriously and said, "What are you worried about?"

Yang Ruoqing bit her lips lightly, and said, "I don't know, I always feel like there is something between me and that child."

"It's not as close as before, but I can't ignore him."

"When chatting with my grandma and my fourth aunt, they all said that Zhi'er is a white-eyed wolf, and that we should abandon this child and leave him alone."

"To be honest, hearing them talk about Zhi'er like that makes me very uncomfortable."

"Jealousy is inherent in every human being, not to mention that Zhi'er is separated from us by a blood relationship, even brothers and sisters of the same compatriots, there are also things that compete for favor with each other, everyone wants to get their parents More pampering, becoming the only one for parents, so I don't think Zhier is so heinous, it's instinct."

"What's more, he's just a nine-year-old child. A child acts on instinct. What he needs is care and guidance, not accusations and giving up!"

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Luo Fengtang was silent for a while.

"Your grandma and your fourth aunt's accusations are based on their own standpoint. They have no relationship with Zhi'er, so naturally they don't care about it."

"What I want to say is that your aunt was ridiculous when she was young, right?"

"Your cousin, He'er, is so disrespected by her relatives that she chills everyone and makes your four uncles and aunts disappointed repeatedly."

"But your grandma, and your fourth uncle and aunt, have you given up on your aunt and your cousin He'er?"

"no!"

"No matter what, even if the whole world blames her, parents will never abandon their children!" Luo Fengtang said.

"Besides, the reason why Zhi'er is jealous of Chen'er is because Zhi'er completely regards us as his parents and this place as his home."

"And Chen'er is so good, so good that Zhi'er felt inferior. Chen'er is the legitimate son of this family, which also made Zhi'er a little difficult to adapt to. Coupled with the provocations of some caring people, Zhier, a child It's just on the tip of a horn."

"But I believe that this child's heart is pure and good, because he is a child brought up by the two of us."

"Let's not talk about a child, even if it's a dog that I once raised and gave it away, I probably can't help but sneak a look at it to see how it's doing, besides, Zhi'er is a person? "

Speaking of this, Luo Fengtang hugged Yang Ruoqing into his arms.

"So Qing'er, don't worry, let's do things according to our own hearts. We will go to Yangzhou to visit Zhi'er tomorrow. We can't say for sure what the result will be. We will wait for the opportunity when the time comes." He said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded slightly, "Hearing what you said, my heart is much brighter."

"Either he ruthlessly rejected Zhi'er's mother's pleading back then, and resolutely refused to raise Zhi'er."

"Now that I have raised him and raised him to such an age, I can't get away because of this child's mistake. His life will become a mess because of our abandonment. We have to be responsible for him and do our best to help him. ” she said.

Luo Fengtang smiled slightly, "Yes!"

……

The next day, at dawn, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang took dry food and packages, bid farewell to the elders at home, and embarked on the journey to Yangzhou.

The two of them planned to ride fast horses to Huguang County first, then put the horses at Tianxianglou in Huguang County, and then take a boat from Dadukou in Huguang County to Yangzhou directly east.

Start when the sky is bright, without delay on the road, you can reach Huguang County in the middle of the afternoon.

Stay overnight in Huguang County, and then take the earliest merchant ship to Yangzhou.

If there is no earliest merchant ship, a ship will be chartered at Dadukou to go directly to Yangzhou. After counting the days, there will be no delay on the way, and you will be able to land at the wharf west of Yangzhou City in about ten days.

Zhang Shuilian and Daqiu had gone back to Yangzhou by boat from the wharf in Qing'an County a few days ago, Yang Ruoqing estimated that Zhang Shuilian and the others would return to Yangzhou this time, and they would be there soon.

……

To the east of Yangzhou City, the geographical conditions here are good. The canal passes through here, and various wine shops and shops spring up on both sides of the river, and all kinds of novelties are also introduced.

Compared with the south side where the rich and powerful people live in a quiet environment, on the east side of the river, those who have the conditions to open shops here and settle down at home are also wealthy families in Yangzhou.

At least, every household is either an official of some sort, supported by industry and business, or it is a family of literati with the title of Juren...

All in all, the people who can live here can be regarded as prominent figures in this bustling town of Yangzhou, and their net worth is very good.

But there is a two-entry house in this back street, and the family living in this house is regarded as a different kind by the people of this entire back street.

"Have you heard? The Lu family seems to have gone bankrupt. The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Lu family recently came back from a business trip out of town. I heard that they lost money. These days, the Lu family has closed their doors to quarrel every day. Lu When my daughter goes to buy vegetables in Washi, she always rushes others to buy the leftovers, and it’s not like when she first moved here half a year ago, she is full of fish and meat every day!"

On this day, when Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang arrived in Yangzhou, they followed the address provided by Zuo Junmo to find this back street, and found a place to sit and rest in the teahouse opposite Dazhi's house, when they heard two people sitting on the table next to them. A well-dressed middle-aged woman kowtowed melon seeds and discussed right and wrong.
