"Chen'er, are you exhausted today?" Yang Ruoqing asked distressedly on the way back to the backyard.
Chen'er smiled obediently and said, "Tired, but also very happy."
It can be seen that Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma, and my direct grandmother all really like me.
In all his life, he has never been cared for like this by so many blood relatives. He is a little unaccustomed to it, which is true.
But he's willing to take the time to get used to it.
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing stopped, came to Chen'er and squatted down.
"Come, mother will carry you back to the house." She said.
Chen'er hurriedly waved her little hands, "Mom, no need, I can walk!"
Yang Ruoqing turned around and said, "How about giving my mother a chance? While she's still able to carry me, let her carry me two more times."
"In a few years, you will grow up to be a young man. Even if your mother wants to carry you, she won't be able to carry you!" she said.
Chen'er said with a smile: "Then it will be me who will carry you around when the time comes!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, pointing to her back, "Now let me carry you. Be good and come up quickly."
Seeing the expectation in Yang Ruoqing's eyes, Chen'er finally couldn't bear to refuse.
Obediently, he climbed onto Yang Ruoqing's back and put his little hands around Yang Ruoqing's neck.
"Hold on tight, mom is about to take off!" Yang Ruoqing said.
Chen'er chuckled.
Yang Ruoqing held Chen'er's body with both hands and walked him slowly in the backyard, leading him to get familiar with the backyard while still introducing him.
"This courtyard was built the year your father and mother and I got married. From the site selection, to the design of the courtyard and house drawings, to the decoration style, and the making of the furniture, we designed everything ourselves."
"Our backyard is actually quite big. In addition to our own family, there are also three members of your Aunt Lan'er's family living in the yard."
"Aunt Ping'er and the others."
"My parents' small courtyard is at the end of the courtyard. It's very quiet there. You and your sister also lived in that small courtyard with us when we were young."
"Your father plans to move all of you to the front yard after you are ten years old, because you are already grown children!"
Chen'er lay on Yang Ruoqing's back, her mother's familiar fragrance filling her nose.
Following her gentle words, he turned his head and looked around, replaying the original scene in his mind.
Although he left here a few months ago, he still felt familiar when he came back after seven years.
"Hey, Chen'er, look at the two peach blossom trees over there."
Yang Ruoqing suddenly spoke up and walked over there carrying Chen'er.
The peach blossoms had not completely withered yet, and Yang Ruoqing stood still under the tree.
Chen'er got off her back and stood under the tree with her.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the two trees and said excitedly: "This is a male tree, and this is a female tree. Your father planted it here when you and your sister were born."
"He said that a tree represents Chen'er and a lesson represents the baby. Two jars of good wine were buried under the two trees."
"Wait until you are married and married, then dig it out and drink it,"
"You were taken away by bad guys when you were a few months old. After that, your father and I didn't dare to come to this side of the yard."
"There were several times when your uncle and the others saw us like this and wanted to cut down these two peach trees to save your father and I from being upset."
"But in the end, none of us were willing to cut..."
Yang Ruoqing's face was filled with emotion as she talked about her mental journey in the past few years.
Chen'er circled around the peach blossom tree that belonged to her, then stood under the tree, raised her hand to gently stroke the tree, and raised her head to look at the peach blossoms above her head.
"I'm back." He murmured to the peach blossoms on the tree.
Yang Ruoqing stood aside and watched this scene with a smile, feeling extremely fulfilled and satisfied.
At this point in life, life is truly complete.
She settled Chen'er in her and Tangyazi's small yard. Now that there were three children at home, Yang Ruoqing planned to allocate rooms to them in advance.
Each has a room, connected together, which is lively and can retain their own private space.
"Mom, where are my sister and brother Dazhi?" Chen'er looked around in his room and was very satisfied.
He asked curiously while sitting at the desk.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, sister and brother?
It suddenly dawned on me.
Luo Baobao is his twin sister, and Dazhi, who is a few months older than both of them, is indeed the older brother.
"The two of them have gone to the school behind the village to study. School is not out until nearly two hours. If they knew that we would be home today, they would definitely not miss school."
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
Chen'er also smiled.
Yang Ruoqing then asked Chen'er: "Chen'er, have you gone to take the merit examination?"
As for asking Chen'er if he studies, that's really retarded.
Chen'er has gone to Yuzhou to give lectures, and he has solved all the difficult problems in arithmetic in the nine chapters. Do you think he is studying?
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Chen'er smiled faintly.
"Mom, I have never been to school. My grandfather invited famous teachers from Daqi to come to the house to teach me," he said.
He didn't dare to say the second half of the words to his mother for fear that she would tug on his ears.
That is, in the end, those famous teachers had nothing to teach them anymore, and they were all made angry by him in various ways...
"Wow, my Chen'er received really elite education," Yang Ruoqing said with emotion.
"Then Chen'er, do you want to take the exam for fame? With your knowledge, it's not just my mother's boast. Scholars and scholars are all about picking things out of their pockets." She said proudly.
However, Chen'er shook his head decisively.
"Please forgive me, mother, but I don't have much interest in seeking fame," he said.
"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened, and it took her nearly five seconds to come back to her senses.
Countless students from poor families regard it as a counterattack in life, and countless down-and-out officials' families regard it as a scientific test for the family's re-emergence. In Chen'er's eyes, he just said 'no interest'?
How big is this child's heart?
"Mom, are you unhappy?" Chen'er asked.
Eyes as bright and pure as obsidian looked at Yang Ruoqing, seeming a little uneasy.
Yang Ruoqing came to her senses instantly. She came to Chen'er and gently stroked Chen'er's head.
"Silly boy, why wouldn't Mom be happy? As long as it's something that makes you happy, Mom will be happy."
"Besides, your uncle is the number one scholar, and your father is the general who protects the country. Regardless of whether he is civil or military, there are people in our family who are there to support him."
"Mom doesn't have any high requirements for you. It's enough for you to grow up peacefully, live happily, and live a life without worries about food and clothing."
After listening to Yang Ruoqing's words, Chen'er felt warm in her heart.
"But, mother, if my uncle has no merit and my father is just an ordinary general, if I don't take the exam, you might be disappointed, right?" He asked again.
Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised. How could this be the mind of a seven-year-old child?
She gently held his little face and said seriously: "If your uncle and your father can't reach this height, how can your mother ask you for it?"
"Even though we are mother and son, we are all individuals and we all have things we like to do."
"Don't worry, mother will not put the wishes that the previous generation could not realize on you. This will become a burden for you,"
"Mom just wants you to be relaxed and grow up happily. Everything else is unimportant!"
