Listening to the brother and sister Dazhi and Baobao talking about interesting things about their childhood, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang listened quietly on the sidelines, and the couple secretly glanced at each other from time to time.
Obviously, Dazhi has a good memory, a delicate mind, and a strong emphasis on emotions. He still remembers many things that happened when we lived together when we were children.
In particular, what they remember the most are the interesting things about getting along and growing up with Baby Luo. Seeing the brother and sister chatting happily there, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were also full of joy.
While I was happy, I couldn't help but think of Chen'er who was far away.
The family is sharing a family relationship at the moment, but I wonder what’s going on with Chen’er? Will he take care of himself in such a cold day?
Yang Ruoqing knew that her worries were definitely unnecessary, because her Chen'er had long since grown into a young general, leading the way, acting on his own, and dealing with all kinds of forces with ease.
Surrounded by a bunch of followers, her Chen'er is destined to be the best among men, the brightest star in the sky.
This small Changping Village was destined not to be a prison that trapped him. He is an eagle, destined to soar in the blue sky.
But even if this is the truth, as a mother, Yang Ruoqing still hopes that her children can take time to come back and visit occasionally, but she dare not tell Chen'er clearly, for fear that her longing will become a fetter for him. …
In this era, transportation is not as convenient as modern times. In this era, cars and horses are very slow, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers...
But when I think about it, no matter where the family is in the world, as long as they have constant contact and know that each other is living well at the moment, it is enough. Once in this world, for these young people, it is like a rising star. The sun is exactly when you need to prove yourself, realize your self-worth, and shine.
"Is the water getting cold? I'll add some hot water for you to soak in for a while."
Yang Ruoqing recovered from her emotion, leaned over and tried the water in the two children's footbath with her fingers, and found that it was a little warmer.
Dazhi said, "Mom, don't bother me. I've just finished soaking and will be ready to polish my shoes soon."
Yang Ruoqing said: "It will make you feel better if you soak in it for a while, and it can also get rid of the coldness in your body. Dad, do you think so?"
Luo Fengtang, who was hugging Yuanyuan at the side, smiled and nodded, and said to Dazhi: "When I was your age, I started soaking my feet. It's good for my body and bones. Listen to your mother."
Dazhi smiled slightly, which was a compromise, and reached out to take the ball in Yang Ruoqing's arms.
Yang Ruoqing took this opportunity to get up and go to the kitchen to help them get hot water.
Luo Fengtang said: "I'll go, I'll go, you come and hold Yuanyuan."
Yang Ruoqing didn't give him this chance, "I'll stop by to see if Auntie needs help."
Seeing whether the aunt wants to help is the second thing. The main thing is that Yang Ruoqing wants to take care of the two children's feet. This is a mother's responsibility and happiness. I haven't experienced it with these two children for a long time.
If she doesn't cherish the opportunity now, if she doesn't cherish it, if they wait a few years for them to get married and get married, they won't be living under the same roof. She wants to do small things like this for them, which will become a luxury.
So before it's too late, try it again.
Yang Ruoqing's steps were full of wind, and she felt like she had endless strength all over her body.
In the kitchen, the smoke was burning, and Wang Cuilian's figure was so busy that she flew into the air in the oil smoke. Now she was chopping vegetables, peeling garlic, and stir-frying. Get into the mouth of the stove and stuff a handful of firewood into the stove.
"Auntie, let me get them a pot of hot water and I'll help you cook right away."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's voice, Wang Cuilian, who was chopping garlic, raised her head and said to her: "No, no, no, your uncle is helping me. He has gone to the woodshed to pull hardwood. He will be here soon."
"It's better for me to do it. It will be more organized for us two women to cook together." Yang Ruoqing added.
Even if Blacksmith Luo comes over, he can only help stuff the firewood. Wang Cuilian has to deal with the cooking pot alone.
Wang Cuilian handed over a big ladle and asked Yang Ruoqing to scoop out the boiling hot water in the earthen pot, and said, "You really don't need to come. You can just talk to the children. The dishes are also cooked, and they will be ready in a while." dinner time."
"Yeah, so fast?"
"Hehe, isn't it? Look, the vegetables are all warm in the big pot!"
Wang Cuilian took the time to lift the heavy wooden lid of the cauldron and let Yang Ruoqing take a look.
This glance made Yang Ruoqing's saliva almost flow out.
The rice in the big pot looks like it has been simmered. There is a 'well'-shaped wooden steaming grid on top of the rice, and nine bowls of vegetables are placed on it.
The first thing Yang Ruoqing saw was the wild pepper beef on the plate, followed by the hometown dish of meatballs, meatloaf, and poached egg soup.
Several other dishes are also eye-catching, including braised pork ribs and spicy stir-fried pork.
"Ah, you also made pork belly and fried sweet potato rice dumplings? It's so rich!" Yang Ruoqing exclaimed.
Wang Cuilian smiled and said: "It's rare for Zhi'er to come home!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Zhi'er will be happy to see his grandma cooking so many delicious foods for him later."
Wang Cuilian said: "As long as Zhi'er and the baby like to eat and eat two more bowls of rice, I will feel energetic."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Yes, as elders, isn't that what we think about!"
While talking, the hot water was filled. Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian said hello and walked out with the hot water.
When I walked out of the kitchen door, I happened to meet Blacksmith Luo. Blacksmith Luo was holding a bundle of hard firewood in his hand.
"Your aunt said that dinner will be served after a while, did you hear that?" Blacksmith Luo asked.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Auntie told me that they will come to the dining hall after soaking their feet later."
"Okay, then go quickly and be careful on the road!" Blacksmith Luo warned again, seeing that she was holding a jar of hot water in her hand!
…
Back in the dormitory, Yang Ruoqing poured some hot water from the jar into the footbaths of Da Zhi and Luo Baobao respectively, and took the rest of the water to the bathroom to give Tuan Tuan Yuan a small bath before sending them in. Cradle to sleep.
In the bedroom, Luo Fengtang handed Yuan Yuan to Luo Baobao, so the brother and sister sat together to soak their feet, each holding a younger brother on their legs.
The two brothers and sisters hugged each other and gathered together to soak their feet comfortably while chatting, teasing their brothers, and laughing constantly.
Luo Fengtang entered the bathroom to help Yang Ruoqing adjust the water temperature for the children. "Go and prepare clothes and diapers for the two little brothers. I don't know where to put them."
His words made Yang Ruoqing smile.
I don’t know if men in other families have this common problem, but it’s just like the men in her family. The bedroom is just this big, and the clothes cabinet is also placed there. There are as many drawers and cubicles as there are, and they have never changed.
