Wanghai County, Changping Village.
Soon, the time came to the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and Dazhi took Xiao Qiao and traveled thousands of miles from Yangzhou by water.
As a newly married couple, Yang Ruoqing sent a special letter to warn them before they came by boat.
You can't just go to the pier to find a boat and mix with other passengers you don't know. The waterway will be unsafe for nearly a month.
Even if Dazhi brings a few servants and maids, Yang Ruoqing is not at ease. For similar things, please refer to the case in Journey to the West, where Tang Seng's biological parents were poisoned by a boatman and servants when they were newly married...
So this time when Dazhi and Xiao Qiao came back, Yang Ruoqing specially entrusted Zuo Junmo to find a local boating friend in Yangzhou to build a big boat to send them over.
The big boat was specially designed to transport the young couple, plus their accompanying servants and maids.
The sailors on the ship also served as thugs, and they were all paid by the Luo family. At the same time, Luo Fengtang also contacted a local escort agency in Yangzhou with a good reputation to escort them throughout the journey to prevent them from being robbed by Jiangyang thieves on the waterway.
It's nothing more than spending a lot of money. As long as money can solve the problem, it's not a problem.
Therefore, it set off on the 12th day of the twelfth lunar month two years ago, and today, on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the boat broke through the ice on the waterway. After a long month, it finally arrived at the dock east of Wanghai County.
After the letter was delivered to Changping Village, the Luo family immediately started preparations.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang went to the county seat immediately. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan wanted to follow them, so they all went together.
After arriving in the county town, Yang Ruoqing saw her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law in the small yard that belonged to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang in the backyard of Tianxianglou Restaurant in the county town!
"Zhi'er, my son!"
Yang Ruoqing ran up directly, grabbing Dazhi's arm with both hands, and looked up and down at the young man in front of her.
After a year of absence, the seventeen-year-old Dazhi has made more breakthroughs than a year ago in terms of height and reading.
The person standing in front of him at this moment seemed to be a young and upright young man, with the scholarly air of a scholar, delicate features and clear eyes.
Xiao Dengke's joy made him radiant, and he stood there, as if his whole body was shining with light, which made Yang Ruoqing feel a little stunned.
It seems that I saw the child who was just one year old, had a fever and was so sick that he was emaciated and dying on the dilapidated fishing boat by the water in Huguang County sixteen years ago...
"My great son has grown up, really grown up!"
Yang Ruoqing hugged Dazhi tightly and burst into tears.
So happy!
This feeling is really happy!
Although she was not born in her tenth month of pregnancy, she was raised by her side until she was more than seven years old.
Teach him to speak, teach him to walk, teach him to read, teach him to draw, teach him to understand things.
After more than six years of careful raising, he has been weak since he was a child and has bronchitis, which can trigger a cough when eating spicy or cold food.
When it got serious, I was sent to the town hospital several times. I vomited all over my body, and when I had diarrhea, I pooped everywhere on the bed.
It's just such a child. Even though he wasn't born by himself, he raised it little by little in his own hands. That feeling is something you can't let go of!
When Dazhi was hugged tightly by Yang Ruoqing, he also leaned down and gently patted Yang Ruoqing's back with his big hands.
Although there was a smile on his lips, his eyes were also red.
"Mom, don't cry. I'm back now. Don't cry. Your two brothers will laugh at you!"
For Dazhi, people's feelings are interconnected.
Before Chen'er was found, for him, the Luo family was his home, the couple in front of him were his real and only parents in this life, and Baby Luo was the sister he was willing to risk his life to protect.
Since Chen'er was found, seeing everyone's love for Chen'er, the kind of treasure that has been lost and found, he can feel it even at the age of seven.
Especially when playing in the village, he heard some aunts and ladies pointing at him and talking behind his back, which made him feel delusional and worried when he was young and not very sensible.
He is worried that as the adopted son of the Luo family, he is a substitute for Chen'er. Now that this real son is back, even if he is willing to take him as his younger brother, others may not be happy for him to be his older brother.
He deliberately avoided everyone and deliberately played pranks on Chen'er's room and bed.
When he did this, at that age, he was a bad boy in the eyes of adults, a little white-eyed wolf who was not well-raised.
However, he is just ignorant and does not know how to accept and adjust his mentality.
Only later would his mother in Yangzhou send a message saying that he was sick and hoped that he would go back to take care of his illness. Then he would embark on the road back to Yangzhou without hesitation with a trace of anger...
He clearly remembered that when he made this decision, his adoptive mother, Yang Ruoqing, who was also his true mother, cried several times and coaxed him to stay.
Over in Yangzhou, she could spend money to buy a few people to take care of her, and he was really the best.
If he really misses his biological mother there, she can accompany him back to Yangzhou to visit relatives.
He knew that his mother was reluctant to leave Changping Village, and she wanted to keep him by her side.
But my young self was a bit willful, and I felt that Chen'er's return had squeezed my space, making my existence as a substitute more and more embarrassing...
So I insisted on leaving, and even said some angry words to deliberately irritate my mother.
My mother cried sadly several times, but he hid and watched secretly.
In fact, he was also very sad. He seemed to throw himself into his mother's arms and act like a spoiled child like before, but now, his mother is Chen'er's mother, and he is an adopted son, so he is superfluous...
He left and went to Yangzhou.
The two years after he left were the most difficult for him. He often missed his mother, father, sister, grandma, grandpa, grandpa and grandpa in the middle of the night. He couldn't sleep and stood by the window looking at Qing'an County. Direction wipes tears...
Fortunately, at that time, his biological mother would always come to his room to stay with him and comfort him.
This made him feel that he was not alone when he returned to Yangzhou. At least his biological mother truly loved him...
Life went on like this day by day. He worked hard to study and practice calligraphy. He had no worries about food and clothing in Yangzhou. He had a house and a shop. His biological mother no longer needed to go out to work to make money to support him and his brothers and sisters.
He knew that everything he had in Yangzhou came from Changping Village. It was his adoptive parents who had been providing food, clothing, housing and transportation behind the scenes. His adoptive father also found connections to get into the school where he studied.
His shop was also a gift from his adoptive mother.
Every quarter, clothes, pens, ink, paper and inkstones were delivered to Changping Village, and various melons, fruits and snacks were constantly delivered to him. Even though he was far away, he had been living under the love of his adoptive parents for these years.
