Chapter 7834 Chestnut
"It's very troublesome to peel these chestnut balls. Did you peel them?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Luo Baobao shook his head, "I am the leader of the military camp now. I am busy and asked my subordinates to peel it off."
Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Baobao with a smile, "Mom likes it very much. Chestnuts, stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, or chestnut stewed chicken, or chestnut cakes are all good."
Baobao Luo immediately beamed, "As long as Mom likes it, hehe."
"Baby, it's not cold today, why are you still wearing gloves?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
"Isn't it hot? Take it off?"
"No, no, no," Luo Baobao quickly retracted his hand.
"These black leather gloves are specially made and look cool. I don't want to take them off!" She hid her hands behind her back.
Not to mention, high ponytail, small blouse, high-waisted bloomers, black leather gloves and black leather boots.
A string of shining silver chains hangs diagonally on his plump and smooth forehead, and his high ponytail is tied with colorful hairbands. This baby Luo is indeed extremely sassy!
While he was talking, Hongxiu had already put away the bundle and rolled it out. Luo Baobao let go of Yang Ruoqing and walked over with Hongxiu to find Wang Cuilan and the others in the kitchen.
As for why you don’t go to Tuoba Xian?
It's very simple. Tuoba Xian had already quietly entered the mountain under the escort of Luo Fengtang and went to Yu'er to reunite with King Wu.
Half life is full of wind and rain, half life is wandering.
Regarding her parents-in-law's ups and downs in life, Yang Ruoqing believed that it was too tortuous and heavy for her to continue to participate. She and Luo Fengtang were only responsible for providing help.
Help them reunite.
"Put the chestnuts in our house first, and then peel them and get the meat later in the afternoon." Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang responded, picked up the bag, and went to his bedroom with Yang Ruoqing. Along the way, he had to talk to Yang Ruoqing about what he had encountered along the way in and out of the mountains.
In the eyes of others, Luo Fengtang is an unsmiling person, silent and taciturn at all times.
But here with Yang Ruoqing, he is so thoughtful that he can share with her every plant and tree he sees on the road.
The meal at noon is as sumptuous as you want, it is comparable to the Chinese New Year.
After lunch, Hongxiu accompanied Wang Cuilian to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and say some thoughtful words.
Yang Ruoqing divided fifty kilograms of chestnuts in shells into nearly ten portions, keeping one portion at home and giving the rest to relatives and friends at home.
"I will personally deliver the share to Grandma Ga's house. I want to talk to Grandma Ga and Grandma Ga," said Luo Baobao.
"Okay, you go."
Yang Huazhong and Sun hadn't seen Baby Luo for a month, and they kept talking about it. They would be happy to see her later.
Later, Wang Cuilian went to the vegetable garden, and Hong Xiu came over to chat with Yang Ruoqing.
Seeing the chestnuts on the table, a strange look flashed across Hongxiu's eyes.
"Sister, have you given all these chestnuts to others?" Hongxiu asked suddenly.
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "Yes, my relatives will always send me a bowl of whatever other people cook or eat. It just so happens that this chestnut is big and suitable for all ages, and it was brought back by the baby from the mountains. It's a gift." It’s just right to share it with them.”
Hongxiu smiled, “Well, the truth is. This is the principle of reciprocity. However, looking at you, sister, you don’t know the origin of this chestnut?”
The smile on Yang Ruoqing’s face froze slightly, “What do you mean?”
Hongxiu twirled a chestnut between her fingers and said softly: "This The chestnuts are picked from the forest behind our camp. It is not difficult to pick them from the trees. Just hit them with a stick. The difficulty is how to get the chestnut meat from the fist-sized hedgehog balls. Peel it out."
Yang Ruoqing smiled again, "I grew up in the village. , I know the difficulty of peeling chestnuts, you, just say what you want to say, no need to pave the way." Hongxiu also curled her lips and raised a chestnut to Yang Ruoqing: "Every piece of chestnut meat is worth it. The baby peeled it off by her own hands. We wanted to help, but she wouldn’t let us.”
“What?”
“Why don’t you let me?” she asked in shock.
Hongxiu said: "She said that this was a Double Ninth Festival gift that she wanted to give to her mother as a filial piety. She said that her mother was an elegant person and did not pay attention to those priceless gifts of gold, so she What you give as a gift is sincerity.”
“Since it is sincerity, you can’t pretend to others. She peeled out every chestnut flesh. She took the time to peel it for three whole days after training. God!”
Yang Ruoqing sat there, dumbfounded.
Suddenly, I thought of the black leather gloves that girl was wearing. She refused to take them off when I asked her to take them off. I thought the girl was pretending to be cool.
"Her hands..." Yang Ruoqing murmured.
Hongxiu nodded slightly, "She was poked in more than one place. She was afraid that you would see and worry her, so she wore gloves on purpose."
That's true!
Yang Ruoqing pulled the chestnut plate in front of her and gently rubbed the chestnuts on the plate with her hands.
Every chestnut is so smooth and round, with clear lines on the hard chestnut shell, and there may be a few soft downs remaining on the top...
She said it over and over again Caressing it, as if it was the most precious and unique treasure in the world.
Tears gradually blurred my eyes.
She didn’t even know when Hongxiu left.
It wasn't until Luo Fengtang came back from outside after delivering chestnuts that he was shocked to see her eyes red.
"Qing'er, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
When he was nervous, his first thought was whether something was wrong with her big belly.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head and told him about the chestnut.
“Tangyazi, I lack language skills and cannot describe my mood at this moment.”
"Really, none of the gifts I've received in my two lives have made me as happy and unhappy as this chestnut."
"Tangyazi, why don't you go and give it to me? Are you going to bring back all the chestnuts you got out? "
Luo Fengtang was also sighing at how sensible Luo Baobao was. When he heard Yang Ruoqing's last words, he couldn't help but laugh.
“Why do you have the nerve to ask for something you gave away?”
Yang Ruoqing raised her head: “You’re too embarrassed to ask for it, I’m too embarrassed to ask for it, I’ll ask for it! That’s what my daughter did for me. It’s like pricking your fingers and peeling them off!”
She stood up and really walked out.
Luo Fengtang hurried up and hugged her waist, smiling helplessly: "Even if this is the case, I've already given it away, forget it!"
"It can't be forgotten, I feel sorry for my daughter, I I'm also upset about myself, why am I so careless and can't find this?" Ever since Chen'er was stolen by Qian and Yang Ruoqing fell into the abyss of self-blame, she has basically never let herself be so upset in these years.
Today, because of these chestnuts, she hated herself again.
Luo Fengtang then comforted Yang Ruoqing: "These chestnuts are not easy to come from, but in the end they are food. We can't eat so many and they will get moldy and spoiled if they are left there. It's a pity."
"What we accept is from my daughter's heart. What my daughter gave to us is also her heart. Since you can get what you want by giving one away and receiving one, there is no need for you to get the chestnuts back."
