He held the arms of his two brothers: "Brothers, let's go home!"
On the third day of the fifth lunar month, Luo Baobao returned home early in the morning.
"Mom, are everything ready? I'll be leaving after half an hour of rest."
In the main room, Yang Ruoqing was talking to Wang Cuilian, Da Sun, Cao Bamei, and Xiu Xiu. When she saw Baby Luo entering the door in such a hurry, she couldn't help but smile and said to everyone: "Look, this girl of mine has no feet." As soon as I stepped into the hall door, I was told to open it."
Everyone laughs.
Da Sun said: "What are you packing? Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Wang Cuilian had already greeted him lovingly, grabbed Luo Baobao's arm with both hands, and looked up and down.
This granddaughter was raised by her own hands as she watched her baby fall to the ground.
The one I raised myself is different, the more I look at it, the more I like it.
However, when she heard Da Sun's question, Wang Cuilian still held Baobao Luo's arm tightly and turned to respond to Da Sun's question: "I plan to go to the Zuo family in Huguang County to spend time with the old lady of the Zuo family. It’s the Dragon Boat Festival.”
Zuo Jinling came over a while ago and specially sent an invitation post.
"Ah? Are you going to Huguang County to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? That's a good idea, who will go? Is Qing'er going?" asked Da Sun again.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "I won't go, let Baobao Luo be a representative."
Mrs. Sun asked again: "Is Baobao Luo going alone? If the two younger ones know that their elder sister is going to visit other counties, they are not allowed to follow her?"
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "That's why we kept it secret from them. No, we sent him to Jiang Lan's house early in the morning to play, and their uncle is following him."
Luo Baobao was a little regretful: "Mom, if you don't worry, just let me take them with me!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "The problem is that I don't trust you. You know how naughty your two brothers are."
"Take them over there, and they might be able to stay calm on the road. But when they get over there and they start to get naughty, you won't be able to stop them by yourself!"
"At that time, it will not only affect your mood for traveling, but also add burden to Zuo's family."
Wang Cuilian added: "Actually, I am not worried about the journey. We have to go to Huguang County for dozens of miles!"
It's only about ten miles closer than Qing'an County, but it's still a bit far.
With two such older children, I was always worried about the children making a fuss when eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. on the road.
In the eyes of Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing, Baby Luo is also a big child.
Even though she is sixteen years old and has long been able to take charge of her own business in the camp, in the eyes of her elders, she will always be the naughty, clever and a bit domineering tomboy who has never grown up!
"Grandma, mother, you don't have to worry about this part of the road," Luo Baobao took a bowl of water handed over by Yang Ruoqing, took a sip, and then said, "Zuo Jinling wrote to me to discuss it. He told me to bring my two younger brothers with me when the time comes, and he will lead his people to wait for us at the boundary marker intersection between Huguang County and Wanghai County!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled happily: "This child is quite thoughtful, but it still doesn't work."
"Your two brothers are too young. Dragon boat races are popular during the Dragon Boat Festival in Huguang County. They all watch them by the water."
In this year's dragon boat race, Zuo Jinling, the young master of the Zuo family, will officially participate.
The twelve-year-old boy has extraordinary features, good in both civil and military skills, and a precocious mind. Compared with his father Zuo Junmo, Zuo Jinling will probably be better than his predecessor in the future.
He attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival, which is his first time participating in the competition, and especially hopes that Baby Luo can participate.
As for Luo Baobao, he has been paying attention to this matter. Usually he rarely even has the opportunity to go down the mountain and return to the village. But this time, he actually spared a few days of free time and went to Huguang County to cheer for Zuo Jinling.
Bringing two younger brothers there, wouldn’t it be a drag?
"Mom, I really want to take my brothers with me. What's more, the old lady of the Zuo family has repeatedly warned me to take my two brothers with me. She has never seen two brothers before... "
Luo Baobao begged, which made Yang Ruoqing a little embarrassed.
Next to them, Da Sun and Cao Bamei also helped to persuade. Da Sun suggested, "If it doesn't work, let Sister-in-law Cuilian follow and take care of the children!"
Wang Cuilian quickly waved her hands and said with a smile: "You can't do it, you can't do it..."
Yang Ruoqing looked at Wang Cuilian and also had thoughts.
"Auntie, why don't you and my uncle accompany the three children there?"
"Ah? Shall we go too?"
"Well, you guys should go over there on behalf of me and Luo Fengtang. This year is different from previous years. It's the first time that Zuo Jinling has entered the water to compete. Our family has to go to show our appreciation and give him a gift or something!"
"Is that so...Qing'er, why don't you go too?"
"I want to stay at home and take care of three yards. Besides, we have to have someone at home to warm the house during the holidays." Yang Ruoqing patiently explained to Wang Cuilian.
"That's fine. As long as your uncle goes too, I won't panic... But I'm afraid he won't want to go?"
"Don't worry, aunt, I will do your uncle's ideological work!"
"Mom, where is my great grandfather right now? I'll tell you!" Luo Baobao put down his tea bowl and volunteered.
"At Jiang Lan's house, I took your two younger brothers to play there, just to prevent them from seeing you, for fear that they would pester you and follow you..."
"Hey, you adults, this is Chi Guoguo's attempt to ruin the relationship between our siblings. I despise it!"
Before Luo Baobao left the house, he didn't forget to give Yang Ruoqing a middle finger.
This girl... is so hot-tempered that she even learned to show her middle fingers. There's really nothing you can do against her.
It's also because in this era, at the age of sixteen, you feel like the eldest girl or sister in your family.
In future generations, at the age of sixteen, he is still a child in high school. He needs his parents to take him to and from school. Especially after self-study at night, he needs his father to wait at the school gate.
If she had a more pampered family, her parents might even have to help her with things like making the bed and tying her shoes.
In contrast, his daughter Luo Baobao is already very independent and powerful.
Soon, the four grandfathers and grandsons came back talking and laughing.
Especially Yuanyuan, the most excited one, running so fast that she almost took off.
Tuantuan couldn't stop laughing and was in high spirits.
As for Luo Baobao, he proudly raised his eyebrows at Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian: "How about it? I'll take action and kill my uncle immediately!"
"Grandpa, you promised to go to Huguang County with us to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, right?"
Blacksmith Luo smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, if you want grandpa to go, grandpa will definitely go without saying anything."
Wang Cuilian's worried heart was completely relieved. She said hello to Yang Ruoqing, turned around and went to the backyard to pack her things.
