After eating and drinking, Blacksmith Luo, Yang Huazhong and the others picked up their pipes and started smoking.
Luo Baobao held Blacksmith Luo's tobacco pole and said, "Grandpa, my mother said smoking is bad for your health, so I don't allow you to smoke."
She raised her little finger and pointed at Yang Huazhong: "And Mr. Ga, you are not allowed to suck either!"
Yang Huazhong chuckled and looked at his smart-mouthed granddaughter. The man's eyes were full of curiosity.
Blacksmith Luo held Luo Baobao's little hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, do you think any old man in our village doesn't smoke or drink? All of them are energetic and old-fashioned, going up mountains and rivers, plowing cattle targets. , all of them are good players!"
Luo Baobao said stubbornly: "But it's not good for your health. What my mother said, my mother must be right."
Seeing that the little granddaughter was quarreling with each other, Blacksmith Luo quickly followed her words and said, "Yes, yes, your mother is right, but grandpa, I only have these few hobbies left. My dear granddaughter, can you be accommodating?"
Yang Huazhong also looked begging.
Luo Baobao was hesitant as he was a soft-spoken person.
Chen'er came over, touched Baobao Luo's head, and said, "Of course what mother said is reasonable, but it is based on a premise. As long as everything is done in moderation, it is actually okay."
As he spoke, he took Luo Baobao's little hand away from the tobacco pole.
"Grandpa and Grandpa are both adults. They have their own sense of proportion, so don't worry too much." He added.
Tiejiang Luo and Yang Huazhong quickly echoed: "Baby is such a sensible and good boy, he cares so much about our health!"
"Yes, yes, how about saying that my daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket? This child is so sensible!"
Hearing what Chen'er said, and hearing the compliments from Grandpa and Ga Gong, Baby Luo also burst into a smile.
"Okay, then you two can smoke, but don't smoke too much. I'm going to go play. I'll come over for a surprise inspection later. If you are disobedient and continue to smoke, I will confiscate your money. Dry tobacco pole!"
She put her hands behind her back, scaring Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong like Teacher Xiao.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
When Chen'er took Baby Luo to play elsewhere, Blacksmith Luo blew out a smoke ring and said happily: "In the past, I had raised Tang Yazi's boring gourd under my knees, and I didn't know the benefits of raising a daughter. Now this baby, a She is worth ten people, her little mouth is like that of a bird, chirping, chirping, and her words are so heart-warming, she is really not bad at raising a daughter!"
After saying that, he started puffing away again.
This made Luo Fengtang, the big boring gourd sitting next to him, look a little embarrassed.
Yang Huazhong came to the rescue and said, "Brother Luo, you can't say that. It's better for a daughter to be a daughter, and it's better for a son to be a son. There's no conflict!"
"My daughter is by your side to help you relieve your worries, and your son is upright in front of you. One is the master of the outside world and the other is the master of the home. This is what it feels like to be a family, and this is how it feels!"
"We won't talk about Tang Yazi. He is the main supporter of our family. Let's talk about Chen'er. Chen'er is so smart. He passed the imperial exam at a young age and is still a good scholar. From now on, I can also shine a bright light on the lintel of your old Luo family!"
Yang Huazhong's words greatly benefited Blacksmith Luo.
He smiled and said: "Chen'er has made great achievements again. It is not only the lintel of our old Luo family that will shine, but also your old Yang family. This is the glory of our two families!"
You compliment the two men, and I compliment them. Plus, after drinking, their faces were all red, and the atmosphere was extremely good.
Luo Fengtang, who had been sitting silently, suddenly spoke up: "Uncle, father-in-law, Qing'er and I are well aware of your favor and love for Chen'er."
"However, the child's praise should be limited, especially don't praise him too much in front of him. This may not be a good thing for the child."
Yang Huazhong was surprised and a little confused.
Blacksmith Luo straightened his face and scolded Luo Fengtang: "What are you talking about? Our Chen'er is so good and outstanding, why shouldn't we praise her?"
Luo Fengtang said: "Uncle, I didn't mean that. What I meant was..."
"Our Chen'er is so smart. This is the first time in my entire life that I have seen such a genius child. It's not an exaggeration to call him a child prodigy. How about some more compliments? Seriously, I've never seen anyone like you. As a father, you are not allowed to praise your son for being outstanding, and you have to hide it..."
Blacksmith Luo started the nagging mode of scolding, and the more he looked at Luo Fengtang, the more unhappy he looked.
Luo Fengtang felt helpless and couldn't get in the conversation, so he could only sit there and smile bitterly.
Yang Huazhong said to Blacksmith Luo: "Brother Luo, don't scold Tang Yazi indiscriminately like this. Tang Yazi is Chen'er's biological father. His son is so outstanding. He, as a father, is naturally the happiest person. Yes, this is human nature."
"Please listen to him say a few words about his thoughts first. Maybe there are other considerations between him and Qing'er?"
Hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Blacksmith Luo said angrily to Luo Fengtang: "Your father-in-law pleads for you, then tell me what you think. If you don't say it well, I will continue to lecture you!"
Luo Fengtang smiled helplessly. He nodded and said to them both: "This child Chen'er has been smarter than ordinary children since he was a child. We all know this."
"He has achieved such achievements at such a young age. Every time Qing'er and I talk about it, we are so happy that we can wake up from our dreams with laughter."
"But there is a saying that the beauty of a tree will be destroyed by the wind. He is still young now, only nine years old. We want him to be more low-key and hide his clumsiness appropriately sometimes."
Hearing this, Yang Huazhong nodded repeatedly: "This is true. Some people in this world are born with jealousy. They are not as good as others, and they like to make things difficult for those who are better than themselves."
"I heard Da'an say before that during their exam, there was a student from a poor family who got excellent grades. He was jealous of a young master from a rich family. When he went to take the exam, he tricked him and accused him of plagiarism..."
Hearing this, Blacksmith Luo looked horrified.
"Oh my god, there is such a thing, that's too dark!" he said.
Yang Huazhong said: "There are many dark things in the world outside. Compared with the outside world, our Changping Village is really a paradise!"
Blacksmith Luo asked again: "What happened to that poor student in the end?"
Yang Huazhong said: "At that time, it was said that he was disqualified from taking the exam that year and was detained in the Yamen for a few days. He was later released, but I don't know if the student took the exam again next year."
Some people will become more and more courageous because of this setback, but more people will never recover.
"You really need to be on guard against this kind of thing, especially in a place like the capital, where there are a lot of young and energetic young men from rich families," Yang Huazhong said.
"Even though Tang Yazi is the great general who protects the country, those little kids who are newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They are jealous of Chen'er being so good and do some outrageous revenge. If Chen'er is not prepared for the slightest thing, he will It’s scary to think about taking advantage of others!”
