Luo Fengtang said: "Qing'er, you charter a boat and ask the escort agency to escort your father-in-law and mother-in-law north to the capital to reunite with Da'an and the others. I agree with this,"
"However, I am worried that my father-in-law and mother-in-law may not go. Even if they go, my mother-in-law will go alone. There is a high chance that my father-in-law will not go."
"Why do you say that? Why do you think my father doesn't want to go? Is it because he cares about things in the village? After all, he is Li Zheng?" Yang Ruoqing asked, rubbing her feet gently. She couldn't soak her feet. Lie on your back like a tortoise with your feet motionless. You need to rub them properly a few times to make them more comfortable. Many acupuncture points are on the soles of your feet!
Luo Fengtang shook his head: "I'll leave the village affairs to a few village elders. If that doesn't work, I'm mainly thinking about spring starting soon, and my father-in-law's hundreds of acres of fields need to be prepared for spring plowing."
"My father-in-law has been hardworking all his life and takes care of the crops very carefully. Even if the family hires long-term workers, he is still at the forefront..."
Yang Ruoqing understood what Luo Fengtang meant.
She chuckled and said, "I guess I didn't remember to tell you something before I came here. Well, my father's hundreds of acres of crops have been contracted and leased out!"
"Including those long-term workers, they have also been transferred out to work for the new owner. My parents just wait for the end of the year to sit at home and collect rent."
Yang Ruoqing is about to be thirty-three years old, which means that Yang Huazhong is also fifty-three or four years old. Yang Huazhong will be sixty years old in four or five years.
The physical condition and anti-aging status of a sixty-year-old person in this era is different from that of a sixty-year-old person in later generations.
Sixty-year-old people in later generations, especially those who live in office buildings, are pampered and privileged, so they still look very young at sixty, like middle-aged people, and they don't look old at all.
But people in this era are different, especially farmers, who age very quickly!
"Who rented it?" Luo Fengtang was a little curious, "He must be a down-to-earth and hard-working farmer, right?"
A hard-working farmer?
Yang Ruoqing burst into laughter.
"It's my little cousin!"
"Yang Yongqing?"
"Yeah! It's him!"
Luo Fengtang fell into a brief silence and speechlessness.
After a moment, he spoke again: "Is my little cousin reliable? There are hundreds of acres of land, many of which are first-class fertile farmland. Will he ruin it?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "At first, when he came to discuss this matter with my father, Daan and I, we were just as worried as you."
"After all, my little cousin has a criminal record and is known as a lazy man and a bastard in Changping Village! I guess you have to learn from scratch to grow crops."
"But later, my little cousin's words moved my father, and Da'an and I no longer objected, and planned to give him a chance to try."
Luo Fengtang thought for a while, "Your little cousin, maybe it's because he has a daughter and a son. Now his wife's madness is cured, so he sees hope and motivation, and plans to take care of the family seriously. To support myself, the first step is to find a stable job, right?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, that's what he planned."
"He said that he could no longer fool around. While he was still young and strong, he had to do something serious, save some money, and make plans for his daughter and son."
"My dad also said, give him a chance this year to see how he performs. If he performs well, he will give him a chance next year."
"If the performance is not good, the fields will be taken back next year, because the lease contract is signed once a year!"
Although Yang Huazhong, the father, is a well-known honest man in Changping Village, an honest man would definitely be willing to take care of his nephew.
However, honest people also have their own principles and bottom lines.
The bottom line for Yang Huazhong is that crops and fields cannot be wasted and must be worked hard!
In this case, Luo Fengtang suddenly understood.
"If your little cousin can really take care of crops as he said, this will undoubtedly be the most suitable way of making a living for him."
Yang Ruoqing agreed, "If he had had the patience to learn how to run a restaurant when he was in his teens or 20s, he would have learned how to run a restaurant."
"Or if you can be more diligent and go to the Taoist temple to take care of things, then now you can have a stable job and income, enough to support the whole family."
Yang Yongjin, Yang Yongzhi, and their fourth and fifth uncles all had errands at restaurants and Taoist temples, so they didn't have to go out to dig in the fields like other farmers.
Speaking of this, Luo Fengtang couldn't help but sigh.
"It doesn't matter if it's the old Yang family or the Luo family, it doesn't matter if it's Da'an who won the first prize in the exam, or I became the general who protects the country,"
"After all, the one who really takes care of the uncles and brothers of the old Yang family is neither me nor Da'an Xiaoan, but Qing'eryou!"
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Luo Fengtang with a smile in her eyes, anticipating what he would say next.
"Keep talking, keep praising, I can handle it."
Luo Fengtang smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently rubbed her head.
"You have such a big business stall, restaurants in several places, Taoist temples, transportation teams, and herb collection teams. Think about it, you not only provide relatives and friends of Lao Yang's family, but you also provide countless villagers in these ten miles and eight villages. Errands have provided many families with a stable source of income.”
"So, among these eight villages, as well as the old Yang family and the Luo family, Qing'er, you are the most practical and contribution person, and you have the highest prestige!"
Although Yang Ruoqing was already mentally prepared to be praised by Luo Fengtang, his praise really flattered her too much.
Her face turned red, and she quickly waved her hands: "Stop boasting, I can't bear it anymore."
Luo Fengtang smiled, uncovered the small blanket covering their legs, leaned down and said to Yang Ruoqing: "The water is almost warm, I'll wipe your feet."
Yang Ruoqing: "No, I'll wipe it myself..."
But his wrist was pinched by a big hand.
He raised his head and met a pair of deep eyes. He said with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "This is my privilege, you are not allowed to snatch it from me!"
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then raised her lips: "Okay, I don't dare to snatch it."
After wiping her feet, Yang Ruoqing saw him putting on his shoes. She squatted down and was about to pour the two people's foot bath water, but he stopped her again with his eyes.
"Are you fighting with me again? Put it down!"
The corner of Yang Ruoqing's mouth twitched slightly, "Okay, okay, I'll let it go, tsk tsk, this family's status is incredible!"
Luo Fengtang then put away his deliberately darkened expression and revealed a sunny smile, "You are good now. Go to bed quickly."
"With your order, I'm going to be General Luo's bed maid!"
After saying that, Yang Ruoqing twisted her waist and ran back to the bedroom, got into the bed, and rolled around in it.
No matter how many days we have to say goodbye, or how long it will take to see each other again, people should live in the present, enjoy the present, and cherish the present.
