Zuo Junmo gave Blacksmith Luo a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Uncle Luo is really awesome, he guessed it right. Yes, that's exactly what he meant!"
Mu Zichuan also smiled and nodded, and Luo Baobao said even more excitedly: "Grandpa is so awesome. Grandpa is as good as Uncle Mu. If grandpa had also gone to school back then, he would definitely be a high official now! "
Blacksmith Luo's face turned red after being praised by his little granddaughter. The breakfast came to an end in such a pleasant and warm atmosphere. Kuangsha Literature Network
After eating and drinking, Mu Zichuan invited Zuo Junmo to go to school in the morning, and Luo Baobao walked with them with his small schoolbag.
Before leaving, Zuo Junmo specifically told Yang Ruoqing that he would not come back for dinner at noon and would eat with Mu Zichuan in the school. After noon, they would go to the Taoist temple for a walk and come back in the evening.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can go and have fun."
At home, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian were cleaning up the dishes, while Tuoba Xian went to the Buddhist hall with Mrs. Zuo.
In this way, the Zuo family's mother and son stayed in Changping Village until the 29th, then said goodbye and returned to Huguang County.
Before leaving, Wang Cuilian, Sun, and Yang Ruoqing brought out a bunch of local specialties and stuffed a carriage full of them for Mrs. Zuo to take back.
In front of the carriage, Baobao Luo held Madam Zuo's hand tightly. The little girl's eyes were red, and she was very reluctant to leave Madam Zuo.
After getting along with each other for more than half a month, Mrs. Zuo was very reluctant to let go of the little girl. The grandfather and grandson agreed to wait until the first month of next year, then let Zuo Junmo come to pick up Baby Luo and live in Huguang County for a while.
After getting this agreement, Luo Baobao just let go of Mrs. Zuo's hand.
Only then did Yang Ruoqing get the opportunity to come to Mrs. Zuo and give her a bundle.
"These are the clothes I made for you to sleep in during the winter. My sewing skills cannot compare with those of your maids and servants. You can make do with these two clothes."
Mrs. Zuo took the bundle with a look of emotion on her face: "The most rare thing is your heart. I like this dress."
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
Everyone rushed to say goodbye to Zuo's mother and son. Blacksmith Luo patted Zuo Junmo on the shoulder again: "Drive slowly on the road and take good care of your mother."
Zuo Junmo nodded: "Uncle Luo, don't worry, please also take care of your son!"
The carriage gradually moved away until it condensed into a small black spot in the field of vision, and then everyone dispersed.
Yang Ruoqing came to the guest room where Mrs. Zuo had stayed to clean up the room. Tuoba Xian also came over and helped Yang Ruoqing clean up together. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a heart-to-heart talk.
Tuoba Xian said: "I have always felt that it was not easy for me to be among women. I supported my younger brother to ascend the throne at the age of twenty. Faced with the bloody storm in the court, there was no news about the deep man, and the child's bones were separated... …”
"After spending more than half a month with Zuo's sister-in-law, and listening to her talk about her past, I realized that she is also a very extraordinary woman."
Hearing Tuoba Xian's words, Yang Ruoqing nodded.
She had heard Zuo Junmo talk about family affairs before. Zuo's father died of a sudden illness when Zuo Junmo was only ten years old, leaving mother and son to depend on each other.
The ancestors of the Zuo family were a big family, but that was before the previous dynasty.
Although it is a big family, it also has its ups and downs, especially after experiencing the change of dynasties and arriving in Daqi. In the generation of Zuo Junmo's grandfather, he came to Huguang County to live in seclusion.
The ancestors of the Zuo family were the originators of the government agency. They formed a faction a long time ago, known as the Mohist family.
Zuo Junmo's grandfather's branch was the direct descendant of the Mo family, and it became increasingly declining by the time of Zuo Junmo's father.
Zuo's father devoted his short life to studying institutions and was a genius in this area. Geniuses always have flaws in some aspects, and Zuo's father's flaw lies in management.
Research institutions cost a lot of money, and the wealth accumulated by the ancestors of the Zuo family was almost exhausted by Zuo's father's generation. At this time, the daughter of a rich peasant family in Zuojiazhuang, Huguang County, was watching a dragon boat race. When young Zuo's father arrived, it was love at first sight.
I heard Zuo Junmo talk about his father's appearance when he was young, and he should be similar in appearance to Zuo Junmo, so the girl just cried and turned down the marriage that had been arranged by the family, without asking for a penny of betrothal gift, and brought eight pieces of clothing with her. She married into the Zuo family with a dowry, and gave birth to Zuo Junmo a year later.
Zuo's mother is good at business. When she was young, she was exposed to the outside world and ran a small business. The small business grew bigger and bigger, reaching the town and then the county.
Zuo's father devoted himself to studying agency traps, while Zuo's mother made money to support the family, and the family became better and better. Zuo's father suddenly died of illness when Zuo Junmo was ten years old, leaving the mother and son to depend on each other.
Living as a widow with a young son, people were worried about her family wealth, harassed by villains, and suffered countless hardships.
But Zuo's mother has always been supporting Zuo Junmo. Fortunately, Zuo Junmo is brave enough to inherit not only his father's talent, but also his mother's business methods. He has taken charge of the family since he was fourteen years old.
It can be said that the Zuo family has been prosperous for generations, and then declined for several generations. It was not until Zuo Junmo's generation that it rose again, and the family became great.
"Mrs. Zuo is indeed a strong woman. Many men are not as good as her. She has worked extremely hard to raise Brother Zuo to be a talented person." Yang Ruoqing also sighed.
Tuoba Xian said: "As a parent, you should work hard for your children. Now that Zuo Junmo is an adult, his marriage and heir issues are a serious problem for the Zuo family's sister-in-law."
"For more than half a month, she has been worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist hall with me every day. I can see that what she is looking forward to most is that Zuo Junmo can get married soon. I hope that the Buddha can hear her voice and sympathize with her. For my mother’s heart.”
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Buddha will definitely hear it."
Thinking of something, Tuoba Xian suddenly smiled again.
"Did Mom think of something interesting?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Tuoba Xian said: "I suddenly remembered a joke made by a certain Zuo's sister-in-law when she was chatting with me about the baby."
"Oh? Are you kidding me? Mom, come and listen." Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Tuoba Xian said: "Sister-in-law of Zuo's family said that the more we see our baby, the more she likes it. He is well-behaved and smart. She really wants to stay here and see her every day. It's a pity that she is not her biological granddaughter after all. She can't stay here. If she It would be great if the family has a grandson. When the two families get married, the baby will be her legitimate grandson-in-law, and he can stay by her side. Haha, Zuo Junmo is not even married, let alone a grandson, the Zuo family's sister-in-law said It’s really a joke!”
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but laugh.
"Even if Brother Zuo gets married right now, his grandson won't be born until next year. Our baby is ten years older than Zuo's grandson. We can't get married. It's really a joke." Tomita Chinese
