In the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, Yang Ruoqing, Luo Fengtang and the others bid farewell to Daan and the others on the roadside.
Luo Fengtang held a firecracker in his hand and set it off as soon as the three carriages on the road drove out.
To put it bluntly, this trip was mainly to see off Daan, Xiaohua, his wife and their children. They were going to the capital thousands of miles away. Unless something special happened and they had to rush back, it would not be until the end of the year.
This makes people feel happy and somewhat sad at the same time.
I am happy because Da'an has a promising future. After ten years of hard work, he was admitted to the top exam, works at the feet of the emperor, and sees the emperor every now and then. His future is limitless, and his ancestors will all benefit from it.
Sadness is also due to the separation of flesh and blood!
Many people advised Sun and Yang Huazhong to move to the capital to enjoy happiness. However, Sun and Yang Huazhong couldn't live without Changping Village. Here were their relatives, friends, and other children. They couldn't live without it, just like fish. Children cannot live without water.
Therefore, we can only endure the pain of separation every year.
From the fifth house, everyone also came out to see Yang Huazhou off. In addition, the Sun family, the Luo family, the people from the old house, and even Xiang Shengnan and Xiao Duo all got up early and came here.
Xiaoduo held Xiaohua's hand, her eyes filled with tears, but she tried not to cry.
They were traveling far this time, so they couldn't cry because they wanted to be lucky.
"Take care along the way and take good care of your two children."
Xiaoduo touched Feng'er's head and kissed Fuwa's little face. Fuwa was still sleeping soundly, tightly wrapped in a quilt and held in Sun's arms.
Xiaohua also nodded with red eyes, "Duo'er, after we go to the capital, please remember to come back often to visit and talk to your parents when you have time."
Xiaoduo forced out a smile and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I'll take Jiaojiao back for a walk when I have time."
Here, Yang Ruoqing also came over and put her hands on the shoulders of the two sisters. The three sisters cuddled together, very reluctant to leave.
Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Sun was very pleased to see this tender scene.
This is the advantage of having more children, two sons or three daughters. Even if Da'an and Hua'er go to the capital, at least they still have two daughters at home.
Xiao'an Road is not too far. In Qing'an County, you can take time to come back during the holidays, so it is more fun to have children in groups. Like Qing'er, she has three children, but there is only one baby beside her.
The baby is still clamoring to join the army, but there is no final decision yet. When she comes back from Qing'an County this time, Mrs. Sun wants to persuade Yang Ruoqing to have another baby while she is still young, and Duo'er. Ms. Sun would also like to advise that now that Jiaojiao is one year old, she can consider having another child...
In this way, Yang Huazhong and his three carriages slowly left.
Yang Huazhou drove the carriage to the front. The carriage contained a few of his own things, except for the things that Yang Huazhong and the others brought to the He family.
In addition, there was also the maid Xiaohua brought back from the capital.
Da'an drove the carriage to the middle. In the carriage were Sun, Fuwa, Xiaohua, and Feng'er.
Yang Huazhong drove the carriage behind him, and the carriage was full of luggage.
When they arrive in Wanghai County, a fourth carriage will appear. They are the guards and several maids left by Da'an in the county.
After the large army gathered in the county seat, they headed to Qing'an County together. After a brief stay of three days in Qing'an County, Da'an, his wife and children continued north to the capital under the escort of their guards and maids.
In Sun's words, "This trip is well-staffed, and there are people to help take care of the children on the way, and there are guards to protect me. I feel relieved."
After sending Yang Huazhong and his party away, the others also dispersed one after another.
Yang Ruoqing invited Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan to come home for tea.
Xiaoduo said: "Sister, I don't have time to drink. Shengnan and I just took the time to come here to give it away. Jiaojiao was still sleeping when we came, and I'm afraid she will wake up later."
"Okay, then I won't keep you. So what, are you going back to Xiangjiazhuang or to the pasture?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Xiaoduo said: "Our mothers live in Xiangjiazhuang, and my uncle and father-in-law have been living in Caochang. In a few days, we will all move to Caochang."
"Okay, I'll bring Jiaojiao and Lingling over for a meal when the weather is warm. This year, due to some special reasons, you haven't even had a meal from our house to celebrate the New Year!"
First, Luo Fengtang fell ill, and then Wang Shuanzi had an accident. After all this trouble, not only did Xiaoduo and the others not come over for New Year's greetings, but even the visits to relatives and friends in each room of Lao Yang's family in the first month of this year were simplified, unlike in previous years. It's like setting up a dragon gate formation. Let's have a dinner at your house today and a dinner at my house tomorrow.
Even in the first month of this year, the village has no plans to invite an opera troupe to sing.
"Sister, when my parents come back from Qing'an County, we can make a date to come over for dinner." Xiaoduo said.
"That's fine, there are so many people and it's so lively."
Xiaoduo turned her attention to Luo Fengtang again, "When will my brother-in-law return to the military camp?"
Yang Ruoqing also looked at Luo Fengtang. She had always wanted to ask this question, but had resisted asking it.
Luo Fengtang pondered for a moment and said: "It's undecided for the moment. If there are urgent matters at the military camp that I need to deal with, I will go back quickly. I will stay at home with your sister the rest of the time."
Just stay at home. You have to add the last three words. Yang Ruoqing blushed when she heard this.
Xiaoduo's eyes were bright, and she seemed even happier than Yang Ruoqing.
"That's good, that's good. Before, my sister was alone at home and my brother-in-law was not around. I saw that my sister was all alone."
"No way, you girl are talking for me again..." Yang Ruoqing said angrily.
"Where is it? I can see it all." Xiaoduo said domineeringly.
Yang Ruoqing pinched her gently, but Xiaoduo smiled and hid behind Luo Fengtang, "Brother-in-law, save me. My sister blamed me for telling the truth and making her embarrassed..."
Luo Fengtang was a little embarrassed being sandwiched between his wife and sister-in-law, but he couldn't hide the smile at the corners of his eyes and brows.
So Qing'er misses him so much? But in the book at home, she is so stubborn, this bad girl who talks nonsense!
Before Xiaoduo left, she squeezed Yang Ruoqing's hand and touched her forehead.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do with pinching and touching?" Yang Ruoqing pushed Xiao Duo away and asked deliberately in disgust.
The person you should pinch and touch is Xiang Shengnan, but in front of Luo Fengtang and Xiang Shengnan, her brother-in-law, Yang Ruoqing was embarrassed to say it out loud, and she looked like a female gangster.
Although Luo Fengtang has always known that she is a female gangster, her brother-in-law does not know, so she still has to maintain her image.
Xiaoduo asked in surprise: "Sister, your hands are not cold and your forehead is not hot. Why don't we wear much, but you are wrapped up like a blind bear?"
"Go, go, you are like a blind bear! Can you still speak?" Yang Ruoqing put her hands on her hips and wanted to hit Xiaoduo hard on the forehead.
