To be honest, Yang Ruoqing was really surprised by Luo Tiejiang's "good talk" this time.
Seeing the uncle and aunt looking so happy, the aunt even went to the backyard to pack things immediately after getting the uncle's affirmative reply.
Yang Ruoqing had a very strange feeling, that is, the second elder was not forced to open the business this time, but was really willing to do so.
I would like to accompany the children to Huguang County to play. If it were in future generations, they would probably be two members of the army of grandparents accompanying them to school.
The old and the young were all happy, and Yang Ruoqing, the one in the middle, felt comfortable.
She said to Luo Baobao: "The gifts have been prepared a long time ago, and the two horses pulling the cart are well fed."
"Now I'll take the two little ones to wash their faces, pee when they need to, and change their clothes. They're almost ready to go."
Let’s set off now, because we are taking Tuan Tuan Yuan with us, so we won’t be able to reach Zuojiazhuang by lunch time, but we will be able to reach Huguang County.
When you arrive in Huguang County, you can have some lunch to satisfy your stomach. In the evening, before the sun sets, you can arrive at Zuojiazhuang. That’s a great time!
…
After seeing off the large group of troops at home, Yang Ruoqing returned to the yard alone.
This is the first time in so many years that I am alone at home, and this lasts for a long time, at least three days.
Yang Ruoqing originally thought that she would feel relaxed without the children around her. In fact, she did feel very relaxed.
Next, she could get up whenever she wanted, and she wouldn't eat if she didn't want to in the morning. She could still accumulate clothes and wash them there every two days.
You can even stay in the backyard bedroom for a whole afternoon and take a nap, closing the door and thanking guests. Then when you wake up, you can get up and make a cup of tea, hold a storybook, and sit under the shade of a tree in the backyard, or on the wind and rain verandah. Find a place to sit and stay there all afternoon.
Very comfortable.
In fact, when she returned to the main room and bedroom, she saw the toys that the children had played with but had not yet returned to their original places, the clothes that the children had just changed out of before leaving, and the small stool that had been overturned. …
Although she was relaxed, she actually felt empty again.
In this huge yard, from the front yard to the back yard, there are more than a dozen large and small houses. Suddenly there are no children chasing and playing. It seems that the popularity of the yard has been sucked away.
It seems that children are everywhere.
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and patted her face a few times, scolding herself for being such a child slave, so she couldn't argue with her.
The children will be back in three or four days. Why are you worrying about the spring and autumn?
Clean up the house first, do the laundry, and then close the door and go to sleep!
So on this day, Yang Ruoqing really lay down at home all day long.
She didn't get up until the sun was about to set in the evening. When she heard the cackling of chickens and ducks coming from her parents' yard across the wall, Yang Ruoqing shuddered.
Oops, I over-indulged on this day, and I forgot about feeding the chickens and ducks!
These chickens, ducks and geese are my mother's hard work. It's a pity that I can't take them to the capital, otherwise I won't worry about leaving them at home.
It was Yang Ruoqing who patted her chest and promised that she could take care of her. When the time came for the Chinese New Year in the second half of the year, when Sun and his family came back from the capital for the Chinese New Year, the original nest of chicks and ducklings would be The goslings all grew into squawking ducks and geese.
Among them, Yang Ruoqing can pick up the eggs they lay and eat them from home.
After all, there is no refrigerator, so it is difficult to keep it fresh for too long.
I forgot to feed them today. Are the poultry birds so hungry that they eat each other's feathers to satisfy their hunger?
According to Mr. Sun, he had encountered a similar situation before. In a nest of chickens and ducks, there would always be one or two bald ones...
Yang Ruoqing quickly got up and went to her parents' yard next door. In order to be faster, she didn't even need to go around the front yard gate, and went directly over the wall from the back yard.
When she jumped over the courtyard wall and landed firmly, she saw a corner surrounded by fishing nets in front of her. The half-grown chickens, ducks and geese raised by Sun were gathering together and pecking at the food on the ground.
The food on the ground is corn grains and chopped vegetable leaves. In the large basin on the side, she filled it with water yesterday. Now it has been drank by the chickens, ducks and geese for a day, and has evaporated after another day of sunlight. Finally, there should be only a small half of the pot left.
However, at this moment, the basin was filled with clean water again.
So Yang Ruoqing could conclude that someone should have been here during this period and came to help her feed the chickens.
Who could that be?
It must be the Da Sun family.
"oops!"
Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind, and the sound of a gourd and gourd falling to the ground.
Yang Ruoqing turned her head and found that it was Xiaoduo.
"Duo'er? Why are you here?"
Yang Ruoqing was surprised. She looked around and saw that except Xiaoduo, there was no one else.
Moreover, the small flower fell into the gourd and gourd at my feet, and what was spilled was rice.
Obviously, Yang Ruoqing had guessed wrong before. Da Sun was not the one who fed the chickens. The real chicken feeder was Xiao Duo.
And Xiaoduo also saw clearly that the figure that suddenly appeared in the backyard was Yang Ruoqing.
"Sister, you almost scared me to death!"
"You don't recognize your sister anymore? You deserve to be scared to death!"
Yang Ruoqing walked over, helped pick up the gourd and gourd on the ground, patted Xiaoduo on the back, and said something scolding.
Xiaoduo also came back to her senses at this time. She exhaled and said, "It's not that I don't know you. It's because you came in without making any sound. You squatted over there with your waist covered. I couldn't see your whole figure. I just saw that day." The headlight shone a shadow of a person on the ground over there, so sneaky that it scared me!"
Yang Ruoqing was speechless.
Pointing to the high wall, "Well, I just jumped down from there. I overslept and was worried that the nest of babies raised by my mother would starve to death."
"By the way, why are you here if you don't stay in the pasture?"
Xiaoduo said: "I don't have anything to do in the pasture this afternoon, so I told Sheng Nan to keep an eye on the children while I took the time to come back and take a look around."
"No, the Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days. In previous years, the day before the festival, our sisters would send Dragon Boat Festival gifts to our parents' homes and have dinner at our parents' homes."
"Our parents have gone to the capital this year, and I don't know where to send the gifts. I want to come to you to discuss it."
Both sisters are married, so these situations must be consistent!
"Since you came back to discuss with me, why don't you come to my house?"
"I went. The door to the front yard was tightly closed. You didn't hear me shouting. I went to my aunt's house to sit for a while. I learned that they all went to Huguang County, so I guessed You must be hiding in the backyard and taking a long nap. I'm afraid you won't get up until you wake up! I simply came here to do something, feed the chickens, and by the way, I also used the vegetable garden that my mother left behind. I watered it once!"
