Zuo Jingling thought about it seriously. Did his father teach him how to ride together in the back? Does it count?
Seeing that Zuo Jingling didn't say anything, Chen'er guessed that this younger brother must have ridden before, but he was not familiar with it.
Boys love riding horses.
"I'll teach you how to ride a horse later. I'll use my horse. It's a thousand-mile horse and it's more exciting to ride. Okay?" Chen'er asked kindly.
Zuo Jingling took one look at the tall black horse, immediately felt happy and nodded lightly.
Luo Baobao looked on and was extremely happy, "Brother, you still have more face. Cousin Xiaohei talks to Jingling here, but Jingling doesn't even want to pay attention to it."
Chen'er curled her lips, "Let's go home first. We brought gifts for you all. Let's go home and open the gifts!"
Luo Baobao cheered, quickly took Zuo Jingling's hand, and followed Chen'er into the yard.
Chen'er's return made the old Luo family and Yang Huazhong family as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Tuoba Xian also came out of the Buddhist hall, circled around Chen'er, and pulled her in front of her to take a closer look.
Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong sat aside and watched with smiles.
"Chen'er has grown again. In two or three years, she will be taller than grandma." Tuoba Xian said with a pleased expression.
She comes from Daliao, and for many reasons is taller than women from the south.
Eleven-year-old Chen'er's head has reached around her chin. If this head was placed in Changping Village, it would be as good as that of a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy.
This child's body shape really has completely inherited the bloodline from Daliao. When he grows up, he will definitely be taller and taller than his father Fengtang.
What a natural general!
She was born and raised like a tree, good at both civil and military skills. She is proud of her good grandson...whose daughter will be taken advantage of in the future!
Although Chen'er had been away from home for a long time, he had not lost any of the etiquette he should have. He saluted Blacksmith Luo, Yang Huazhong, and Tuoba Xian in turn, kowtowed, and then sat back in his seat and picked up the cup made by grandma Wang Cuilian. She took a sip of the brown sugar water, thanked Wang Cuilian, and then told her elders the reason for her return home.
"... Last time I accepted the emperor's order and sent me to the Wuchao Lake area to train the navy. The first few months were very busy and I never had time to go home."
"I happened to have some free time during this period, and I couldn't worry about the elders in my family, so I took the time to come back and take a look around."
The elders in the room nodded repeatedly and praised Chen'er for her thoughtfulness.
"Chen'er, how long can you stay at home this time?" Sun asked impatiently.
Luo Baobao rushed to joke: "Granny, how long do you want my brother to stay home early?"
Sun didn't hesitate: "Of course the longer the better!"
Luo Baobao chuckled, "Granny, then my brother is useless. He was sent as a talent by the emperor to train the navy. You keep him by your side and feed him well every day. Why don't you? Are you going to raise my brother to be a loser like Cousin Dabai and the others?"
Sun was stunned for a moment.
Blacksmith Luo glanced at Yang Huazhong and deliberately said with a stern face: "Baby, don't talk about your cousin Dabai like that, he is still young and ignorant."
No matter how bad Dabai is, he is still the nephew of the third brother. Since ancient times, it is inevitable that uncles will love their nephews, just like Da'an and Xiao'an love Chen'er and the baby.
But Luo Baobao didn't agree with Blacksmith Luo's words, and couldn't understand Luo Baobao's painstaking efforts. She still insisted on her opinion:
"He is one year older than my brother and I. Compared with my brother, he is really small. He has not yet been weaned. He will also be a useless giant baby in the future."
Blacksmith Luo wanted to say something more, but Yang Huazhong raised his hand: "Brother Luo, it's okay. The baby is right. That kid Dabai is really ill-educated, hey!"
Seeing this, Chen'er changed the subject: "Sir, Grandpa, I brought you specialties from Wuchao Lake. They are all in the car. Do you want to take a look first?"
Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong stood up together, "Okay, let's take a look!"
…
Most of the gifts Chen'er brought back from this trip were aquatic products.
"This is the gold-threaded silverfish from Wuchao Lake, and this is the Yintao shrimp skin. They are all local specialties there."
Chen'er introduced the things to everyone: "This gold-threaded silverbait is extremely delicious. I think local fishermen and people use it to stew custard with eggs. It's very delicious."
"There is also this Yin Tao shrimp skin. I watched them make soup, or grab a handful when cooking wontons and dumplings, and add it with seaweed. The fragrance spreads for miles."
"..."
Everyone has their own gift. When it comes to Luo Baobao, it is a string of wind chimes made of colorful shells.
"Hang it in the window and it will sound when the wind blows." Chen'er said.
Luo Baobao picked it up in a novel way. A breeze blew by, and the wind chimes collided with each other, making a pleasant sound.
"I love it!" she shouted.
Chen'er came to Zuo Jingling and took out a knife cut from fish bones and gave it to him.
"Let's play with it."
Zuo Jingling played with the fish bone knife in his hand, his beautiful eyes full of novelty.
The gifts were immediately sent out by Wang Cuilian and Sun respectively. Those were brought to the Sun family, to the several rooms of Lao Yang's family, and to Lao Yangtou. Even Yang Huamei was not left behind.
Everyone is happy.
Bao Suyun came to the Luo family immediately, and the Sun family happened to be there.
"It's a good idea that everyone is here. Let's take care of Chen'er at night, so everyone can come over." Bao Suyun explained his intention as he walked in.
Wang Cuilian smiled and said: "Suyun, you are too polite. We will cook at night and there is food at home..."
Bao Suyun said: "This is what Lao Wu and I have in mind. Lao Wu has already gone to town to buy groceries. Let me come over and say hello to you guys first. Don't forget, everyone. Tonight, everyone will Go, everyone go!"
Bao Suyun said hello to the owner, then turned around and went to say hello to other people.
Tonight is mainly for Chen'er to pick up the wind and wash away the dust. It just doesn't make sense to just invite the Luo family and the third brother's family. The old man's side will definitely not be left behind.
In this case, let's just invite all the other rooms over too. Open a few more tables, it will be more lively!
Naturally, as a real relative of the old Wang family, Bao Suyun also went to say hello.
Yang Huamei was washing clothes in the yard, and Dabai and Xiaohei were playing around behind them.
Yang Huamei was very happy when she heard that Chen'er was back. Naturally, she declined Bao Suyun's invitation out of politeness: "Fifth sister-in-law, how can I be so embarrassed..."
Behind him, two twelve-year-old boys, Big White and Little Black, stopped playing and shouted in unison to Bao Suyun: "We are going to go, we are all going to my fifth uncle's house for dinner!"
After finishing speaking, Dabai added with a smile: "Fifth aunt, do you have poached eggs at home?"
Last night when we had dinner at Yang Huazhong's house, Bao Suyun naturally saw the poached egg scandal, so he quickly smiled and said, "You like to eat it, right? Then the fifth aunt will fry poached eggs for you at night."
Dabai grinned happily, and then went to play with Xiao Hei.
