Chapter 3356 I Miss My Dad
When school was over in the evening, Baby Luo saw that Yang Ruoqing was the only one coming to pick up her and Dazhi at the door of the school, even though Luo Fengtang told her yesterday that her father was going on an expedition.
But there was still some disappointment flashing in the little girl's eyes.
On the way home while holding Yang Ruoqing's hand, the little girl was kicking stones with her feet sullenly.
"Why are you so unhappy? Did you quarrel with your classmates in school?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Luo Baobao shook his head, "No one dares to quarrel with me, and they can't quarrel with me."
Yang Ruoqing is ashamed, this girl is talking...
"What's going on? Why don't you speak? "Yes?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
When I usually pick her up from school, I feel so excited, like a little fish jumping into the sea, or a bird returning to the woods, not to mention how happy I am.
And every time on the way home from school, when Yang Ruoqing asked her if Mr. Jin had assigned any homework, the little girl would keep talking about what he had assigned.
Then he flattered Yang Ruoqing and said, "Mom, I'll rest for a while when I get home, draw some pictures, and then do my homework, okay?" ’
Almost every time I go down the mountain and go home, I’m haggling.
But now, let alone bargaining, I don’t like to talk anymore.
"Dazhi, what's wrong with your sister? Do you know?" Yang Ruoqing turned to ask about Dazhi here.
Dazhi turned to look at Luo Baobao, then shook his head at Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to turn her gaze back to Luo Baobao, "Baby..."
"Mom, I miss my dad." Luo Baobao suddenly muttered, his voice buzzing, and he looked like he was about to cry. look.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and touched her head.
"Your father has led the troops to the war. When the war is over, he will come back." She said.
Baby Luo raised his head and looked at Yang Ruoqing: "Mom, why can't my father stay at home every day like other people's fathers do? I see that many children's fathers go to the entrance of the village after eating. We were playing leaf cards over there, and we only called back when we were eating..."
These childish words made Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but laugh.
"Your father does great things. He is a great general who protects the country. He commands thousands of troops and is a great hero who protects the country." She said.
“Without your father protecting our family and the country, foreign enemies would come to us and make us have no peace. They would demolish the school, smash the pots and pans at home, and steal our rice, food, and money. . ”
“We can’t let them take away Xiaobai and Xiaohui, they are mine...”
Baobao Luo screamed nervously.
Xiaobai and Xiaohui are a pair of rabbits. Blacksmith Luo caught them from the mountains a few months ago and gave them to the two children to play with and put them in an iron cage.
Bao Bao and Dazhi visit the two little rabbits every day and feed them vegetables and leaves. A few months have passed. The rabbits, which were originally as big as fists, have now doubled in size. The original iron cage There is no room for them.
"It is precisely because there are heroes like your father who lead the troops to fight outside and drive away the enemies that we can live a stable life, and Xiaobai and Xiaohui can grow up so well." Yang Ruoqing Then he said.
“So, when your father is not at home, you should study hard and eat a lot. When your father comes back after winning the war, your father will be very happy to see my baby grow into a big girl. Happy!”
Hearing Yang Ruoqing’s words, Luo Baobao stopped and puffed up his chest.
"I want to eat a lot of food and grow up quickly. When I grow up, I want to be like my father. I want to be a female general and fight the enemies. I want to beat the shit out of the enemies!"
Childish words , but Yang Ruoqing was surprised.
Looking at the heroic spirit between this girl's brows and her bright eyes, Yang Ruoqing suddenly thought of something.
The tiger father has no son, even if he is a daughter, Luo Fengtang’s blood is flowing in her body, and she is destined to be a unique child in the future!
...The New Year is approaching, but the New Year atmosphere in the village is far less than in previous years.
Why?
Because this year is a year of famine.
Locusts were rampant during the rice filling period in April and May. When the harvest was supposed to be harvested in the fall, the fields were indeed barren, dragging farmers' living standards to the bottom.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the emperor came back from the dead and issued a policy to benefit the people, exempting the area from taxes for two years.
In winter, there is a good harvest of radishes.
So, dried radish, water radish, pickled radish, steamed radish, fried radish...
Most people eat radish almost twice a day, and even their farts are It tastes like radish.
People of the older generation say that this will be the most barren New Year’s Eve in the past thirty years.
Those families in the next village can only eat boiled radishes in plain water during the Chinese New Year, or they can borrow some meat on credit to burn with the radishes as a tooth ceremony for the children.
But the situation in Changping Village is slightly better.
These slightly better ones are also a minority compared to the whole village, and are limited to the homes of members of the herb collection team and transportation team.
Why do you say that?
Because they had a good employer, Yang Ruoqing sent a big red envelope worth three taels of silver to each of their families in the morning on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The imperial court ordered that hoarding of goods be prohibited. In order to prevent the people from causing trouble again because they did not have enough to eat, the imperial court approved the prices of goods.
Moreover, according to reliable information, the court's disaster relief food has arrived in Changhuai Prefecture, and is expected to reach Qingshui Town before the year.
Everyone saw hope and worked hard to wait for the disaster relief food to be allocated for the New Year.
Although the Yang Huazhong family is rich and does not need to wait for any disaster relief food, there is no New Year atmosphere at all.
Why?
Because Xiao An unexpectedly went to join the army, Mrs. Sun looked at Xiao An's empty house and shed tears every day, not thinking about food or food.
After only two or three days, he fell ill.
Yang Ruoqing quickly invited Uncle Fu to come over. Mrs. Sun was in good health. To put it bluntly, she was too worried.
Uncle Fu prescribed medicine and could only let the family slowly adjust. Talk to Mrs. Sun as much as possible to enlighten and unblock her heart.
In the morning, Yang Ruoqing brought a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge to her parents' house to visit the sick Sun. Both the eldest Sun and Bao Suyun were talking to Sun in this room.
No matter what comforting words the two of them said, there was always a hint of sadness between Sun's brows.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing come in, Mrs. Sun's eyes lit up, "Qing'er is here, come and talk to your mother. Your mother is thinking about the two brothers Da'an and Xiaoan again."
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips. , came to the bed and sat down.
Ms. Sun quickly forced a smile, "It's nothing, I just mentioned it and mentioned a few words..."
Yang Ruoqing deliberately made a serious face and said: "Mother, Uncle Fu is I said, you have to relax Heart, otherwise, your fake illness will turn into a real illness.”
“This is the New Year, you want us to worry about you day and night, and we have no intention of preparing for the New Year. "?" she asked deliberately coquettishly.
Sun smiled, "Okay, I listen to Qing'er, I'm relaxed."
Yang Ruoqing took out the bowl in the basket, "In that case, mother, please eat this bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge while it's hot. Oh, look at you, you have lost a lot of weight in the past two days. If Daan and Xiaoan knew about this, they would be heartbroken."
