Luo family.
Yang Ruoqing guarded the two children, while Sun and Wang Cuilian were busy preparing for making cakes and steaming noodles tomorrow. Although Master Xiao Zhou and his apprentice left after cleaning up the kitchen, the Luo family's kitchen never stopped. Pass.
There was a steady stream of smoke coming from the chimney, and Mrs. Sun and Wang Cuilian were busy in the kitchen.
In the bedroom, Yuanyuan was tired from playing and fell asleep, but Tuantuan didn't.
Yang Ruoqing was reading a book, so she put him on a stool for infants and toddlers next to him, gave him a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, and let him be bored while he grabbed the charcoal pencil and scribbled on the paper in front of him. .
Yuanyuan also played this little game, but Yuanyuan either stuffed the charcoal pen into her mouth and chewed it, or simply threw the charcoal pen on the ground. Anyway, she just couldn't doodle on the paper in front of her.
But Tuantuan was different. When he first got the charcoal, he wanted to stuff it into his mouth out of biological instinct.
Yang Ruoqing did not forcefully correct him, but picked up a brush and called Tuantuan's name.
When he turned his attention, Yang Ruoqing picked up her pen and wrote and drew stroke by stroke on the paper spread out in front of her.
Tuantuan's eyes were full of surprise and curiosity. Then, he grabbed the charcoal with his chubby hand and imitated Yang Ruoqing on the white paper in front of him. He drew awkwardly, and then he drew the most beautiful things in his life. The first crooked line...
From then on, Tuantuan fell in love with these, and the shapes he could draw were no longer just lines. Gradually, wavy lines, semicircles, and...
Luo Tiejiang and Yang Huazhong both said that the child Tuantuan was talented in painting, which meant that he would be suitable for studying in the future and that he would be a good candidate for studying.
Yang Ruoqing just smiled and listened. It was still too early to tell all that. Tuantuan had just turned one year old, and many things had to wait until he grew up before he could gradually see the clues.
But one thing is certain, that is, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang will never force their unfulfilled wishes on their children like other parents.
Transfer the pressure to your children and let them make up for your regrets, realize your dreams, and realize your vanity and comparison goals with relatives and friends. What's more, you are obviously ordinary, but you are still a salted fish lying flat, but you are still I naively hope that my child can take me to achieve a class jump...
What are you thinking about?
I want to eat shit!
How can you expect your children to do something you can't do yourself? Isn't the child tired?
Work harder on yourselves. As parents, you must set an example for your children!
Therefore, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang have never restricted the development of the children of the Luo family. Even if a girl like Luo Baobao is left in Changhuaizhou and Beijing, such an old girl should be raised in a boudoir. The nanny took her along and taught her all kinds of needlework, as well as the skills of a housekeeper in a wealthy family.
Moreover, Baobao Luo is already sixteen years old and can definitely talk about marriage. However, in Yang Ruoqing's eyes, in this era, other people's girls can get married and have children at the age of sixteen, but hers cannot!
He was only a freshman in high school at the age of sixteen, and his body, mind and body were not fully mature.
Can't!
As for Luo Fengtang, let alone that.
Every time he mentioned his daughter's age and marriage, he would just say: My daughter is still a child, it's too early to talk about that, don't rush!
Moreover, Yang Ruoqing got some gossip from Da'an's family letter saying that there was a family in the capital that matched the Luo family and had a good personal relationship with Luo Fengtang. They were interested in getting married to Luo Fengtang, but they were directly rejected by General Luo!
There is no room for maneuver at all!
The reason given by Luo Fengtang was very simple. My daughter grew up in Changping Village and could not marry across thousands of mountains and rivers to the capital.
Even if the other party is a prince or noble, it won’t work!
My daughter was raised in a simple way and is not suitable for the rules of purdah in the backyards of wealthy families.
My daughter is a girl among the people. Life is short, and she can be happy as long as she wants. As for my son-in-law, the only requirement is that he has a good character and treats my daughter with sincerity!
But Luo Fengtang himself did not mention a word about these things in the letters home that he frequently exchanged with Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing knew that he didn't mention it on purpose, because his daughter was his heart and a potted flower that he had carefully raised, and he didn't want to be taken away with the flower and the pot!
The atmosphere in the Luo family is just right, everyone is busy doing their own thing, Tuantuan is busy painting, and Yuanyuan is busy sleeping.
The atmosphere at Cao Bamei's house across the road was not so good.
Cao Bamei's head was still not completely healed, and it was windy today, so she tied a scarf on her head.
She didn't come over to eat the Luo family's meal at noon, but sent Xiuhong and Xiaosanzi over.
After Xiuhong finished her meal, she returned home with the meal Yang Ruoqing packed for Cao Bamei and handed it to Cao Bamei on the bed.
Then, she was going to find Cao Bamei to get Gastrodia elata to stew chicken.
The chicken had been covered in the morning, and the soup was originally planned to be stewed at noon, but the Luo family invited a meal at noon, so Xiuhong postponed the stewing time to the afternoon, so that her mother could drink Gastrodia chicken soup at night.
As a result, when she followed Cao Bamei's instructions, opened the closet door and took out the box containing the herbal medicine, she found that there was no gastrodia elata in it.
"Mom, did you remember wrongly? There is no gastrodia! Did you finish drinking it earlier?" Xiuhong asked Cao Bamei in surprise.
Cao Bamei had a headache. Even though the packed meals were rich, she still had no appetite.
She reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls and put them aside, closing her eyes to fight against the headache. After hearing what her second daughter said, Cao Bamei endured the discomfort and opened her eyes, and said with a puzzled look on her face: "How is it possible? I remember everything clearly. , I saw it two days ago, tied with a red rope, almost eight taels!"
"Erya, look carefully, don't drop it on the ground..."
Xiuhong glanced at her feet a few more times, and even bent down and almost fell to the ground to look under the table.
"Mom, I have to dig three feet into the ground, but there is nothing!"
"Where did it go? No way, I saw it two days ago!"
Cao Bamei babbled and got out of bed crookedly. She came over here and helped embroider red together.
From the box to the table, I found the cabinet on the table, and then I found the cabinet in other places in the house, every corner...
"That's weird. Where did Gastrodia go? Why did it grow legs and run away on its own?"
Cao Bamei was still beeping and gurgling while grabbing her disheveled hair and trying to remember.
Xiuhong was also tired and sat aside panting.
Suddenly, Xiuhong remembered something, "Mom, I went to Luo's house for dinner today, and I heard Fourth Grandma talking about what happened yesterday. She said that my sister came back yesterday morning, and she also said that my sister was sneaky!"
"What? Your sister came back yesterday morning? Your brother-in-law came over yesterday to help chop wood, but why didn't you mention it at all?" Cao Bamei was full of doubts.
Xiu Hong simply rolled her eyes, "I think both of them are sneaky and full of bad intentions!"
Cao Bamei glared at Xiuhong. Because her head felt uncomfortable, her scolding voice was weak, "Don't talk nonsense! Your sister and brother-in-law are not like that!"
