Chapter 10665
Tiejiang Luo and Yang Ruoqing each had a large dinner plate, which was divided into four areas.
The largest area is used to hold rice and a few pieces of steamed sweet potatoes.
The other three areas are fried chicken with green and red peppers, braised pork with potatoes, and spicy and sour glutinous rice with bamboo shoots.
In addition to these, there is a large wooden bucket half a person's height in the corner of the canteen. The bucket today contains loofah and egg drop soup,
If you want to drink this soup, you can go over and scoop it up anytime.
"Godfather, godmother, can you eat enough?" Hong Xiu asked with concern.
They are girls. Even if they train every day, which is physical work, their appetites are only so big.
I’m afraid my godfather and godmother won’t have enough to eat.
Tiejiang Luo said with a smile: "It's enough to eat, don't worry!"
Wang Cuilian also smiled and said: "I will definitely be full. Look, my dinner plate is full of big chicken nuggets."
Yang Ruoqing said: "If you are not full, go and drink soup until you are full. . ”
Tuanyuanyuan didn’t say anything, because the two little guys couldn’t wait to eat it.
"Is this chicken delicious?" Yang Ruoqing asked them both.
The two little heads nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Yang Ruoqing was happy and told Baby Luo: "Go and call the cook and her daughter over."
"Okay." Baby Luo snapped his fingers, and soon, a pair wearing aprons came over. mother and daughter.
The woman is not very old, probably about the same as Yang Huamei.
My daughter is about the same age as Xiu Hong.
Yang Ruoqing guessed that this was not the woman's first child. Sure enough, after the mother and daughter greeted Yang Ruoqing and others, Wang Cuilian asked about the situation in her hometown with concern.
Sure enough, the woman's hometown was like Mo's hometown, which suffered from drought this year and had no harvest.
The whole family went out to flee. The woman's man passed away, leaving the woman with three children.
The girl beside her is the second eldest child in her family. The woman also has a son who is fifteen or sixteen years old, and another son who is eight or nine years old.
The husband's family values sons over daughters. When they fled, they said they split up and took their two grandsons with them, leaving the woman and daughter behind.
The mother and daughter heard that their husband’s family was coming to Changhuaizhou, so they also chased them. It had been two months since they came out, but they still couldn’t find their husband’s family. They were so hungry that they went to Mianniu Mountain that day. I fainted from hunger on the roadside at my feet.
Fortunately, Hongxiu brought the female soldiers back from shooting training in the mountains and forests, and brought the mother and daughter back to the camp, giving them a place to stay for the time being.
Wang Cuilian felt distressed after hearing what happened to the mother and daughter.
For a kind-hearted person like her, she is born with a soft heart. When she sees her compatriots suffering, she can't help but sympathize.
So, a person with her personality is really not suitable to be a superior person or a Bodhisattva.
Blacksmith Luo was also moved when he heard this, and had no other choice but to sigh.
Yang Ruoqing was more direct and practical. She directly took out a hanging copper plate and rewarded it to the woman's daughter.
The copper plate contains nearly 500 coins. The little girl is carrying it in both hands, and it is heavy.
The shock and joy it brought to the mother and daughter were much heavier than this hanging copper plate.
Because mother and daughter have never seen or touched so much money!
But they don’t dare to ask for it!
So Yang Ruoqing said: "The food you cooked today is very good. We ate very happily and thoroughly. This is a reward for you, you can accept it."
The woman said: "Thanks to Miss Luo and Miss Hongxiu kindly took in our mother and daughter and gave us a place to stay. , we are still grateful and don’t know how to repay you.
How can I accept your reward for cooking this meal?”
Yang Ruoqing shook her head with a smile and glanced at Baobao Luo next to her. Luo Baobao stood up with a smile, came to the mother and daughter, and stuffed the coins into the girl's pocket.
"Collect it, you can't give up the reward. If you don't give it, you won't give me face. Are you going to deny my mother face? That means you won't give me face. Think about it clearly!"
The mother and daughter looked at each other. Then they all knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian to thank them, and then carefully stepped back with the coins in their hands.
With these copper coins, they will have the money to go back when the famine is over. This is great. The Luo family is really a good and noble family...
After lunch, next time During the day, everyone played in the camp for a while. When the sun was about to set, Yang Ruoqing and her family set off down the mountain to go home.
On the way back, Tuantuan looked at the direction of the camp that was getting farther and farther behind him, and said with a smile: "It would be great if I could come to my sister's place to play every day."
Yang Ruoqing rubbed Tuantuan's little head, "Do you think this is just for fun? We came here to play for a day, which delayed my sister, do you know?"
Tuantuan seemed to understand but not understand.
But the reluctance is real.
Yang Ruoqing said again: "Let's come over to play next time."
"Mom, pull the hook!"
"Okay, Lagou."
When the family passed a reservoir at the foot of the mountain, they saw lotus flowers covering the sky and sun in a corner of the reservoir.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were immediately attracted, and the two little guys clamored to pick lotus flowers.
Yang Ruoqing stopped them.
“There are lotus flowers and lotus pods in our fish pond. Don’t pick them from this reservoir.”
The water in the reservoir is too deep and the coolness is different from the ponds at the foot of the mountain.
The reservoir is at the foot of the mountain, and there is no bottom in it. There have been various mysterious rumors about the reservoir in Shiliba Village in the past few years.
People with the best water quality in Shiliba Village came to this reservoir to swim. After returning, they all said that something was wrong with the reservoir, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
One thing is certain, almost every summer, several lives are lost in this reservoir.
Even though the leaders of several villages have nailed wooden signs at different corners of the reservoir to warn the villagers, the parents of each family also teach their children not to come here for paddling.
However, many things cannot be prevented...
"The lotus flowers here are more beautiful. The flower plates are so big and the lotus pods are so big!" Tuantuan said while stretching out his arms and gesticulating.
Yuanyuan also made her eyes wide open.
Even Wang Cuilian and Luo Tiejiang were attracted by the grand scene of the sky-catching lotus leaves.
Wang Cuilian said: "Is the water quality of this reservoir more nourishing? I looked at these lotus flowers and lotus pods, and they are indeed more lush than those in the ponds in front and behind our village."
"However, the water here is too deep, and there is no place to focus on, so it is difficult to pick..."
"Grandpa can do it!"
"Grandpa Grandpa! "
Although Blacksmith Luo also knew that the reservoir was dangerous, facing the expectant gazes of his two precious little grandsons, especially those who kept saying "grandpa" one after another, Blacksmith Luo was a little lost.
“Okay, okay, grandpa will help you pick it!”
Blacksmith Luo was about to get out of the car, but Yang Ruoqing stopped him directly.
