Aunt Cuilian asked her to help her with some sewing work in her room, and she was happy to help. By the way, it would also free up some time for the people in the small courtyard next to the dormitory to talk to each other.
After all, they are all members of the old Yang family, and the presence of an outsider might inadvertently bring inconvenience to them.
And Aunt Cuilian, perhaps thinking the same way, also chose to avoid it like herself.
They said they were helping Aunt Cuilian with her needlework, but to put it bluntly, they were just there drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting about homely things for a while.
Guessing that it was almost time, the two came over in tacit understanding.
Sure enough, the timing was just right.
"Xiaoqin just went to my house to help me with some work!" Wang Cuilian explained for Zheng Xiaoqin with a smile.
"Are the kids sleepy?" She came over and asked again.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "These three siblings are all yawning all the time..."
"Qing'er, Tuantuan has fallen asleep." Sun said.
"Yeah? Let me take a look."
Yang Ruoqing stretched her head and took a look. Sure enough, her brother was sleeping soundly and cutely, with fine eyelashes covering her little face, like a sweet white porcelain doll, delicate and cute.
"Hurry up and send the two brothers to bed. I have to take my daughter back." Zheng Xiaoqin said, coming over to take the daughter from Bao Suyun's hand.
Yang Ruoqing left the two brothers to Sun and Wang Cuilian to put them to sleep, while she came over to help Zheng Xiaoqin.
Help her wrap the little girl's cloak tightly and put on her little hat.
"Slow down on the road." Finally, she warned.
Zheng Xiaoqin smiled gently, nodded and carried her little girl out of the door.
Yang Ruoqing also followed her out and sent her to the front yard.
On the way, Yang Ruoqing remembered what Zheng Xiaoqin had said to her during the heart-to-heart talk in the morning when she came over to feed the children, so she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Is Jiang Xianjun back?"
The expression on Zheng Xiaoqin's face froze slightly, and then she forced out a wry smile.
Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing knew the answer.
"It's okay, it's still early. I'll definitely be back later." Yang Ruoqing said.
Zheng Xiaoqin smiled bitterly and nodded, I hope so!
The two of them were halfway there when they heard steady and rapid footsteps in front of them.
Yang Ruoqing clearly felt that Zheng Xiaoqin's expression had changed, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
However, the next moment, a man turned around from behind the opposite corner and came towards us.
"Uncle."
Yang Ruoqing called the person opposite her from a distance.
Yes, the person who came was not Jiang Xianjun, but Blacksmith Luo.
Zheng Xiaoqin also quickly raised her head to say hello to Blacksmith Luo, but the light that had just been ignited in her eyes also went out.
Blacksmith Luo also responded kindly to the two of them, and then went to the backyard.
Yang Ruoqing then sent Zheng Xiaoqin and her daughter to the front door.
"Thank you for your hard work today. My aunt told me that you were tired of helping her take care of her two children."
While standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Yang Ruoqing and Zheng Xiaoqin said this sincerely.
"Do you still remember what we said this morning? Don't think too much about anything. Just live your life how you should live. There is still a long way to go, and good times are still to come."
Zheng Xiaoqin nodded lightly, "I understand in my heart. Thanks to Sister Qing'er for your concern, I will be fine."
"That's good, take your daughter back to rest early. The sun will completely set in a while and it will be cool down." Yang Ruoqing said.
Zheng Xiaoqin, who was holding her daughter in her arms, had just turned around and stepped out of the courtyard with one foot, when she suddenly exclaimed "Ah".
"What's wrong?"
Yang Ruoqing asked as she jumped out of the courtyard door and came outside.
"Jiang Xianjun?"
When she saw the man squatting in the corner outside the courtyard gate, she was also stunned.
After a brief moment of shock, she immediately smiled and said to Zheng Xiaoqin, who was still frightened, "Look, I'll come and pick you up right now."
Zheng Xiaoqin finally found her soul. She took a few breaths and cursed Jiang Xianjun.
Yang Ruoqing has already asked Zheng Xiaoqin: "Xianjun, why are you hiding outside the gate of my courtyard? Did you come here specifically to pick up Xiaoqin and his wife?"
Jiang Xianjun was too embarrassed to admit it directly. He just blushed and said, "I came home and there was no one at home, so I came here to look for him..."
Yang Ruoqing smiled, then turned to Zheng Xiaoqin and said, "Did you hear that? Xiaoqin, I'm here specifically to pick you two up!"
Zheng Xiaoqin curled up her lips and smiled.
Jiang Xianjun looked past the thick windshield to the face of the child in Zheng Xiaoqin's arms...
Zheng Xiaoqin said: "This is for my daughter, not for me."
Jiang Xianjun raised his eyes to look at her and murmured in a low voice: "Is it important if I have to carry it so clearly?"
Yang Ruoqing laughed again when she heard the young couple's conversation.
"It doesn't matter who he's targeting, you mother and daughter are the ones he's most nervous about anyway!"
"Okay, okay, don't talk to this. Let the young couple take their children home quickly!"
Zheng Xiaoqin nodded.
Jiang Xianjun had already taken his daughter from her arms and held her in her arms carefully.
Zheng Xiaoqin's eyes felt warm when she saw Jiang Xianjun's behavior.
Seeing Zheng Xiaoqin looking at her, hesitating to speak, Yang Ruoqing knew that she was happy and surprised, feeling like she was guarding the clouds to see the bright moon.
Yang Ruoqing winked at her and signaled her not to say anything, and to go home with Jiang Xianjun and live their own lives behind closed doors.
Zheng Xiaoqin nodded again to show that she understood, then turned around and followed Jiang Xianjun, charming and shy, back home.
Along the way, she was staring at his upright back in a daze.
Although he was relatively thin, his back made her feel extremely at ease at this moment.
Especially when she thought of him squatting outside the Luo family yard and waiting stupidly, she felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
The three of them arrived at the door of the house. Jiang Xianjun pushed open the courtyard door, but turned sideways to let her go in first.
Zheng Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, then entered the courtyard.
Jiang Xianjun closed the courtyard door behind her, then stepped forward to hold her hand with one hand, and led her into the main room together.
"Xianjun, what's wrong with you today?" After entering the main room, Zheng Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Xianjun in front of her and couldn't help asking anymore.
Jiang Xianjun's eyes moved from his daughter to Zheng Xiaoqin's face. His own face looked a little haggard and pale. This was because he didn't sleep well last night.
But his eyes were bright and lively at this moment. He smiled gently at Zheng Xiaoqin, "I came back alone before and opened the door, but there was no movement."
"I suddenly thought of the feeling I had when my father died, my mother was in jail, and I was alone in the house, even if you didn't hear the slightest sound all day long..."
It was a feeling he never wanted to feel again in his life.
"Xiao Qin, I have completely figured it out. The place with you and my daughter is my home, and it feels like home!"
