Chen'er was tired. She originally said she wouldn't sleep, so she would sit for a while and wait for Bao Bao and Da Zhi to come back from school.
Yang Ruoqing saw the faint cyan color under his eyes and forced him to lie down on the bed for a while.
The weather is getting hotter now, and sleeping is easy. You just need to take off your coat and shoes, pull over the corner of the quilt and cover your stomach and chest.
Not long after Chen'er lay down, she began to breathe evenly.
Yang Ruoqing sat by his bed for a moment, then put down the curtain for him, gently left the house and went to the front yard.
In the front yard, Yang Huazhong and the others were still waiting there. She knew they had a lot of questions to ask her.
Arriving at the front yard, Yang Huazhong asked: "Is Chen'er asleep?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "After more than ten days of long journey, this child is really tired."
"Besides, when he was in Yecheng before, he was so busy every day that he never had a good rest."
Yang Huazhong suddenly realized, his eyes were filled with relief and distress at the same time, and he said: "This kid has been promising since he was a child. Now that he is back, so many people have come to see him."
"If it were any other child, he would have been frightened and cried, or he would have hid in his mother's arms and dared not come out."
"But I think our Chen'er is very generous and can call whoever is asked. She is well-behaved and sensible, and has no stage fright at all!"
Blacksmith Luo also said with a proud look on his face: "This boy has a lot of potential, even more than his father did when he was a kid."
"When his father was his age, I took him to his aunt's house in Zhoujia Village. Many relatives came to his aunt's house that day,"
"Everyone was teasing him, but he didn't say much. Everyone said that this Tang Yazi looks dark but has the courage of a girl..."
Hearing Blacksmith Luo's words, Yang Huazhong was the first to object.
"Those people don't understand Tang Yazi. He just has that kind of personality and doesn't like to gossip." The man said.
"If he doesn't have the guts, how can he be the general who protects the country? Those people are really ridiculous." Yang Huazhong said again.
Sun and Wang Cuilian both nodded.
Blacksmith Luo continued: "That's right. Later, Tang Yazi joined the army. They also said that Tang Yazi would definitely become a deserter. As a result, Tang Yazi's sesame seeds bloomed steadily."
"Last time during the first lunar month, I went to Zhoujia Village to pay New Year's greetings. All my relatives came too, and they all fawned over me. Hey..."
Blacksmith Luo shook his head and didn't want to talk anymore.
Everyone else in the room looked at each other and smiled, that's how the world and people are.
You have become so successful that you have suddenly separated those people from the gap between rich and poor and status by thousands of miles. When they no longer even feel envy, jealousy or hatred, they can only surrender and worship.
"Let's not talk about Tang Yazi's childhood. The most urgent task is to talk about Chen'er and the benefactor who adopted Chen'er!"
Tuoba Xian's timely reminder brought everyone back to the distant topic.
Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang nodded one after another, and their eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing, waiting for her to speak.
Yang Ruoqing drank a few sips of tea, moistened her throat, and raised her head.
He glanced at the elders in the hall and said the words he had planned in his heart in an orderly manner.
In fact, it was the things Chen'er told her about that 'grandfather'.
After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
Only Tuoba Xian's eyes were flashing with something, and the hand holding the handkerchief was clenched subconsciously, as if she was trying to suppress some emotion rising and falling in her chest.
Blacksmith Luo said: "After all this, we still know nothing about the 'grandfather' who kindly adopted Chen'er!"
"The East China Sea is so big, with so many islands, and we don't have a big ship to go there. Even if we want to say thank you, we don't know how to go!" he said.
Yang Huazhong said: "Yes, yes, Qing'er, what are your plans for this? They kindly helped us raise our child for seven years,"
"Now that we have recognized each other, we have to go and say thank you to them."
Sun and Wang Cuilian nodded.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't want to thank you, but Chen'er said that his 'grandfather' was a person similar to a hermit,"
"Unless you get an invitation or something, you won't meet outsiders easily."
"So before Chen'er set off back to the village with me, he sent someone to send a letter back to Donghai, telling him the cause and effect of the matter, and what I wanted to say thank you for."
"Write it clearly in the letter. We will only make the next step after consulting his grandfather's opinion."
After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, everyone nodded.
"Let's put this from another perspective, let's take Dazhi as an example. Although this child is not my biological child,"
"But he was raised under my knee until he was more than seven years old. This bond cannot be erased. If his mother comes here and wants to take him back,"
"I definitely have no position not to give, but I definitely feel uncomfortable in my heart. This is a fact..."
What's more, Chen'er's excellence is far greater than his ambition.
On the one hand, it is the child's qualifications, and on the other hand, it is also the grandfather's meticulous efforts.
It is not easy to raise a child, and it is even more difficult to raise a child.
"Qing'er is right. Our Chen'er is so outstanding. If I were the grandfather who adopted him, I wouldn't be willing to let him recognize me as my relative." Yang Huazhong said.
Yang Ruoqing continued: "So, let's go and thank you. Don't rush it, and don't go outside and tell others that Chen'er was adopted by so-and-so,"
"Let's wait for the news from the East China Sea to see what the grandfather's attitude is. The best result is that Chen'er has a home on both sides."
"Although he recognizes his ancestor and returns to his clan, he still walks around in the East China Sea. He is still the grandson of that grandfather."
"Then, I will also write to Tang Yazi in the next two days, tell him the good news, and then ask for his opinion. Dad, uncle, mother, what do you think?" she asked.
Blacksmith Luo said, "I think it's the third child. Madam Xian, what do you think?"
Yang Huazhong said: "I have no objection."
Tuoba Xian did not respond.
She sat there with her eyes slightly lowered, her hands on her legs, and a fine silk handkerchief was pulled out of shape by her.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Mrs. Xian?" Blacksmith Luo asked Tuoba Xian again.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Tuoba Xian suddenly raised his head, looking confused.
Everyone was even more surprised.
Mrs. Sun gently explained to Tuoba Xian what they had just discussed.
Tuoba Xian hurriedly said: "That's very good. This matter is no small matter. We really need to consider it in the long term."
Sun smiled and nodded.
The idea was discussed, and the sun was about to set at this time.
The vernal equinox has long passed, and the days have become longer and the nights have become shorter.
Everyone has to do a lot of things during the day. Today, because of Chen'er's return, everyone is here talking excitedly about it almost all day long.
Although it has delayed farm work and other work, everyone feels it is worth it!
