"Although my biological mother, brothers, sisters and close relatives are all in Yangzhou, in fact, my heart has been here all these years. I wonder if you understand?" Dazhi suddenly felt the desire to talk.
He had never said these words to anyone before, fearing that people would say that he was unfilial, and even more afraid that people would say that he was greedy for the power of the Luo family...
But those are none of them.
Just because, since he began to remember, he grew up in the Luo family.
He is learning to walk, learn to eat by himself, he is sick, vomiting and diarrhea stain his clothes, he is coughing, there is phlegm in his throat and he cannot cough it out...
All these things were done by his adoptive parents.
It was his adoptive father and mother who stayed by the bed with their clothes on and took care of him as he grew up.
"Although we are foster parents here, I am closer to them. It is an indescribable feeling of closeness."
Dazhi looked far away in the direction of Wanghai County and murmured in a low voice.
Xiao Qiao retracted his gaze and looked up at the ambition in front of him, with seriousness and listening in his eyes.
Because she knows that what ambition needs at this time is not comfort, but an audience.
Dazhi continued: "In the eyes of others, my adoptive parents have a high position and are great people, unattainable to others."
"Perhaps some people think that I, my adopted son, am greedy for their power and that's why I don't cut ties with them."
"I never bother to defend these remarks, because only I understand in my heart what they mean to me and the bond between us."
"That year, when I was still young, I fell seriously ill and went to the hospital in the town to stay for several days."
"My adoptive parents were more anxious than anyone else. I still remember that it was midnight. My throat suddenly felt itchy and I coughed so hard."
"My adoptive father hurriedly called the doctor. My adoptive mother was lying next to the bed and taking a nap. Seeing that I was about to vomit, she couldn't find anything to catch the dirt in her desperation. My adoptive mother directly reached out and used the palm of her hand to help me catch it..."
"No matter how much trouble my illness brings to them and delays their energy, they never complain, let alone think I'm dirty. They take care of me like their own son!"
"My baby and I have grown up together. Whatever the baby has, I have."
"In the years before Chen'er was found, our family of four went out to play, with my father holding my sister and my mother holding me. Those days were the most practical and happiest days in my life!"
The corners of Xiao Qiao's lips were slightly curved, and her eyes were full of sympathetic memories and nostalgia.
"Brother Dazhi, I know the relationship between you and your aunt. This is a simple relationship between parents and children, not the tacky things that outsiders see!" Xiao Qiao said.
Dazhi nodded lightly, "Xiao Qiao, you are my soulmate."
Xiao Qiao smiled softly, took the initiative to hold Da Zhi's hand, and leaned her head gently on his shoulder.
"Whenever you want to come back and visit, I will accompany you." She said.
Dazhi looked at her again, and she happened to raise her head to look at him.
The two young people said nothing, but the agreement in each other's eyes, the persistence and firmness conveyed, made each other feel relieved and looked at each other with a smile.
This parting trip was not as melancholy as before because I was accompanied by a soul mate.
…
The day after Xiao An and Xiao Qiao left for Yangzhou, Luo Baobao also returned to the camp.
As for Hongxiu, she went back a few days ago. The female soldiers in the camp need someone to train and take charge of matters.
Now, Baobao Luo has returned to the camp.
After Luo Baobao leaves, Xiao An will also take He's father and He's mother back to Qing'an County.
"Can you stay a few more days? It's so rare to come here!"
Yang Huazhong and Sun tried their best to persuade the He family parents to stay. They were not polite at all, but they spoke from the bottom of their hearts.
Father He laughed and said, "I've been bothering you for nearly ten days since I came out this time, so that's about it!"
Yang Huazhong's family must also start preparing for spring plowing, and He's father and others should return to Qing'an County to run their shop.
Yes, now that He's father's legs are healed and he can walk freely, the couple will not even consider sitting on their hands, let alone asking their son-in-law Xiao An to support the whole family.
The old couple took out some money, bought two shops with a courtyard, and resumed their old business of selling noodles.
If this shop opens in Qingshui Town, haha, it will be the most powerful competitor of Baimeizhai where Dabai is located.
Yang Huazhong and Sun also knew that the He family was busy going back and also eager to open business.
"Lian'er used to help, but now Lian'er can't help. You'd better hire two guys!" Yang Huazhong said to Father He again.
Father He nodded, "I have this plan. I don't care about the money anymore. Please ask two people to come back to help. If we make less money, it will be easier for us as a couple."
When Lian'er goes back some time later, Lian'er will have to take care of her.
It doesn't matter whether you make more or less money, since your family doesn't lack that much money now!
In this way, a carriage was hitched, and Yang Huazhong and Sun worked hard to fill the carriage with various agricultural and sideline products.
"Oh my, in-laws, you are too polite. Our family bought rice and we have some to eat!" He's mother tried to stop Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong said: "This is the rice grown in our fields at home. It is different from the ones sold in rice and grain shops outside."
Mrs. Sun also helped: "Yes, the taste is different. Bring some to try."
Sun said a little, and as a result, Yang Huazhong directly carried two large bags of pounded rice and put them in the carriage. Please note that each bag weighed about fifty kilograms, and two bags equaled one hundred kilograms!
"Oh my god, in-laws, you stuffed so much rice at once, we can't even finish it!" He's mother said again.
Mrs. Sun stopped Mother He again, "Why can't we finish eating? When Lian'er and the others go back, I'm afraid they won't have enough to eat!"
Yang Huazhong also said: "One bag is for indica rice, and one bag is for japonica rice. Those who cook rice and porridge should be separated."
Mrs. Sun added: "Yes, yes, try them all."
Well, Mother He has nothing to say.
Then, Yang Huazhong stuffed two twine bags of cotton into the carriage.
"What does this do for us?" Mother He asked.
Mrs. Sun said: "I'm going to make a cradle bedding for the little baby and a little quilt. These two bags of cotton are new cotton from last autumn!"
"Even if you spend money to buy it in the town, you're just afraid that if you spend your money, you will get black cotton, which is not as good as what you grow at home."
Well, Mother He was convinced again. Since it was for the sake of her children, she would take them with her.
It’s true that the ones bought outside are not as good as those grown at home.
Next, Yang Huazhong kept stuffing things into the carriage.
Red beans, black beans, soybeans, mung beans, peanuts, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, wheat flour, buckwheat flour, sweet potato flour, glutinous rice flour...
"Oh my god, how are we visiting relatives here? We are just here to buy goods!" Mother He looked at the almost full carriage and smiled, not knowing what to say.
Sun said: "Nothing too much, nothing too much, everything is needed."
However, that's not all, because the Luo family, the Sun family, and even Bao Suyun all brought things to give to He's father and He's mother.
He's mother said: "Everyone is so polite, the carriage can hardly fit in it."
Father He also smiled and said, "Yes, Lian'er and her mother and I don't have anywhere to sit."
