Li Laoer?
The man wearing a straw hat, lingering at the door of the fourth house, stopping to move forward, is actually Li Laoer?
Yang Ruoqing was a little confused. Didn't Li Laoer resist meeting He'er before? Are you particularly disgusted with Fourth Uncle's behavior of forcing them to get together?
Didn't he want to hide from He'er as far as he could?
So now, he is wandering at the door of the four-bedroom courtyard, seemingly wanting to go in, but somewhat afraid to go in. Why is this?
Yang Ruoqing temporarily stopped walking down the rockery and stood outside the pavilion, holding on to the red wooden pillars and observing quietly.
After a while, Li Laoer seemed to have made up his mind. He finally came forward and pushed open the fence door of the fourth room and walked into the yard.
Only then did Yang Ruoqing realize that he didn't come here with empty hands. There was also a deep-mouthed bamboo basket on the ground behind him that farmers carried on their backs when going to market.
Are you sending something to the fourth room?
Could it be because He'er saved him and helped him suck the snake venom last time? So Li Laoer didn't want to owe He'er anything, so when he got better, he came here specifically to deliver things to repay his life-saving grace?
Well, that’s pretty much it!
In the fourth-room courtyard, Liu Jinchuan came out to entertain Li Laoer.
Yang Ruoqing stood in the pavilion, pretending to pick morning glories on the vines next to her, and continued to pay attention to every move in the fourth-bedroom yard from the corner of her eyes.
Hehe, it turns out that the desire to voyeur is not only possessed by cats, but also by humans.
Look, even Yang Ruoqing can't help but be curious.
In the courtyard of the fourth room, Liu Jinchuan seemed to be greeting Li Laoer into the main room, but Li Laoer waved his hand and refused Liu Jinchuan's invitation.
He took off the backpack on his back and put it on the ground. Liu Jinchuan leaned forward to look inside the backpack.
Then, Liu Jinchuan was surprised.
She hurriedly shouted to the rooms on the left and right, probably wanting to call Mrs. Liu and He'er to come out.
While she was shouting, Li Laoer also turned his head and looked towards the side room where He'er was.
But He'er didn't come out of the side room, but Mrs. Liu came out of the east room yawning and shaking her cattail leaf fan. It was obvious that she was sleeping in the room, and Mrs. Liu looked impatient when she was woken up by Liu Jinchuan.
Especially when she came to the yard and found out that the visitor was Li Laoer, Mrs. Liu became even more unhappy.
However, Liu Jinchuan pointed to the backpack on the ground and explained to Mr. Liu.
Mrs. Liu quickly rushed to the basket, leaned over and saw the contents inside. Mrs. Liu burst into laughter at that moment.
After less than three seconds of joy, Ms. Liu realized something. She stopped her smile and continued to keep a straight face. She didn't know what to say to Li Lao Er. Li Lao Er just lowered his head and nodded from time to time. Mrs. Liu showed respect.
Mrs. Liu seemed to be very satisfied with Li Laoer's performance, so she stopped preaching to Li Laoer and ordered Liu Jinchuan to go to the kitchen to get something.
Soon, Liu Jinchuan came over with a wooden barrel.
Li Laoer picked up the contents of the basket and poured it into the wooden barrel in the fourth room.
Because of the angle and the fact that Li Laoer's back blocked his view, Yang Ruoqing didn't see what treasure he brought.
Li Laoer finished emptying the things, took the empty basket in his hand, greeted Mrs. Liu and Liu Jinchuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, turned around and walked out, apparently preparing to go back to Lijiacun.
Liu Jinchuan followed him to the gate of the courtyard, still talking to Li Laoer along the way.
Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, put the cattail leaf fan under her arm, bent down and carried the heavy barrel to the kitchen.
Judging from the excited look of the fourth aunt, Li Laoer must have brought aquatic products and other things to the fourth room, which is why the fourth aunt is so happy.
Eating is the lifeblood of Fourth Aunt. Only eating can make Fourth Aunt smile from ear to ear. Only eating can make her happy and bribe her.
Wait, why did Mr. Li want to bribe the fourth aunt?
You can't do it!
Therefore, Yang Ruoqing felt that she might have been overthinking it, and that Li Laoer might have simply come to deliver something to express his gratitude to He'er.
Although he doesn't like He'er and doesn't want to marry He'er, the kindness that should be repaid must be repaid.
Yang Ruoqing got off the rockery and returned to the main room.
He gave some of the morning glories he picked earlier to several children.
These boys, Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, are not interested in flowers.
But Jiang Lan, Xiao Niuniu, and the daughter of the Mo family, these little girls like morning glories very much.
In particular, the daughter of the Mo family was holding morning glories and gesticulating on her pigtails, which her clumsy little hands could not hold.
So the little girl on the side took the initiative to help the little girl put it on. Little Niuniu was one or two years older than the little girl and half a head taller.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the two of them helping each other put flowers, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.
But this strange feeling was directly revealed by Wang Cuilian next to her.
Just listen to Wang Cuilian say: "Qing'er, Mrs. Mo, look at these two little girls, do they look like sisters at first glance?"
Yang Ruoqing had this feeling just now, so she naturally nodded: "I do have that feeling. Obviously their two mothers look nothing alike, but their facial features and charm are quite similar. Woolen cloth!"
"Really?" When Mrs. Mo, who was coaxing her youngest son to sleep, heard this, he looked back and forth at Little Niuniu and his daughter, silently comparing them.
"Not to mention, they are indeed somewhat similar!" After comparing them, Mr. Mo couldn't help but be amazed.
This little girl seems to come to Luo's house every day to play with her children.
Before, Mrs. Mo was worried about her husband and was busy taking care of him, so she didn't pay attention to these little friends of her children at all.
In the past two days, her husband's injury was recovering every day, and she gradually freed up her energy. So every day when the children played together, she would hold the younger one in her arms, follow them, and look at them.
In fact, Mr. Mo also noticed this girl, Xiao Niuniu.
When I first saw her, I felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy and familiarity.
Especially the child's eyebrows and eyes always reminded her of someone deep in her memory.
However, Mrs. Mo felt that was impossible because that person had already died that year...
She saw her die with her own eyes, and even put her broken body into the coffin and buried it...
Therefore, although the child Xiao Niuniu gave her a familiar and friendly feeling, Mo felt that this must be a coincidence!
"Mrs. Mo, do you have any relatives marrying here?" Wang Cuilian suddenly turned around and asked Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. Mo was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said decisively: "Basically all the direct relatives on my mother's side and my husband's side are dead..."
With just one sentence, the good atmosphere that had just risen in the hall instantly cooled down.
