Chapter 11249
"Brother Baozi, I can understand your mood, and I am also very pleased with your sense of responsibility." Yang Ruoqing said, "However, the tea room has been empty for two days, and I am not in a hurry to have one today." In the afternoon and at night,”
"We still stick to the original plan. The brothers will leave tomorrow morning. When they arrive at the tea house, they will be very bright, so that you can clean up the house."
Yang Ruoqing did not say much about some things. They went to the tea house this time. , it may take ten and a half days to return home.
The tea house is located halfway up the mountain. It does not belong to the outer area of the mountain. It belongs to the two mountains that need to be climbed to go inside.
Therefore, it is very difficult for the ladies at home to go over to deliver some things or visit.
Only when four or five women are traveling together, and a man is leading the way, can they go to the tea house.
So tonight, out of various considerations, including humanistic considerations, Yang Ruoqing asked them to stay with their families at home and comfort their mother-in-law.
However, this comfort is probably limited to verbal comfort and explanation, and physical comfort may not be feasible.
Why?
Because most of the houses in the village are still being repaired, everyone is still living on the grassland these two days. In the big tent on the grassland, the whole family lives together, and many things are inconvenient.
This is probably one of the main reasons why everyone, whether they are men, women, or elders, are eager to repair their houses.
Men and women are already going crazy and can't hold it in anymore. Although old men and women are old and many of their sense of experience are gradually extinguished, they are people who have been there and can feel the irritability of their sons and daughters-in-law. I feel uneasy, having old people like them living together is a hindrance and an eyesore.
So among all the people, the only ones who are not in a hurry to move back to the village are probably the children.
The whole family lives together and sleeps on the floor at night. Everyone can also listen to grandma and grandma telling stories about long ago. How wonderful it is. Don’t go back to the village!
"Brother Baozi, you are right to listen to me. Go back, settle down at home, and go to the teahouse peacefully tomorrow morning!"
"In that case, I will listen to your arrangements, Qing'er."
"I'll go over first and talk to the brothers!"
"Okay, you go and do your work."
After Wang Liang left, Yang Ruoqing was left in the hall and Zhang San.
Zhang San asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, what are your orders for sending me here?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Zhang San, find two reliable brothers to go to Huansheng's house to help me make something tonight. "
To be precise, Yang Ruoqing had a bold guess, but this guess needed to be confirmed by Zhang San.
......
After arranging things, Zhang San also left. Yang Ruoqing called Ling Lan to ask about the whereabouts of the children.
I learned that Ping An and Shaoyao took me to the official road to fly a kite.
Linglan said: "Originally, I was clamoring to go to the village to see the old man and his wife building a house, but the old lady stopped me. Later, Yuanbao found a kite from nowhere and wanted to fly it. Kite,"
"The old lady was afraid that they would fly the kite after they had eaten enough. After drinking the wind, I stayed at home for a stick of incense. In the end, I couldn't stop it anymore and they all left. The old lady was worried and followed her..."
Suzuran replied He was really careful and replied a long list, even though Yang Ruoqing was taking a nap in the room at the time and was not there.
But after Ling Lan’s long and careful reply, Yang Ruoqing was able to restore the noisy and chaotic scene at Noon’s home through these, even if she was not present. Oh my god, this restoration made her head hurt. Fortunately, the family now had more people. If it were like before, it would be a lot of work for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take care of the children.
Now there are several young adults helping to take care of the children, so I don’t have to worry anymore.
"Then how long have they been flying kites for?" Yang Ruoqing asked Ling Lan again.
Linglan glanced at the hourglass on the table. This hourglass was the same as the one in Yang Ruoqing's bedroom, except that the gravel in the bedroom was blue, like crystal chips, while the one in the main room was blue. It is white, and also has the shape of thousands of landscape patterns.
The design of this hourglass is very clever. Every time Yang Ruoqing looks at this hourglass, she cannot help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.
The hourglass used by the Luo family has three timekeeping modes: one stick of incense, half an hour, and one hour.
Converted to Beijing time, it is 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and one hour.
There are scales on the pattern shapes for checking these three levels of time. When it falls on a certain scale, it means that one stick of incense has passed, and so on.
Although it is not as accurate as a modern clock and stopwatch, it is enough to have these three time reference standards for daily reference in life and affairs.
Linglan glanced at the hourglass and told Yang Ruoqing: "I've been out for about half an hour."
Yang Ruoqing nodded and drank two sips of tea, making herself more awake and feeling a little warm.
She got up and walked out, and told Linglan: "I'll go find them, and you can guard the house."
"Yes, madam."
Yang Ruoqing walked out of the courtyard door. , looked around, and saw that there were indeed three large and two small figures nearly half a mile away from the official road leading to Qingshui Town, and in the sky above their heads, there was a big kite floating.
That big kite... should have been among the New Year's goods that Luo Fengtang brought back at one time. After the New Year's goods box arrived home, the children took out the kite and played with it. When they collected the things and put them into the box, they probably That one was left behind.
Yang Ruoqing stood on the side of the road, looking up and squinting at the kite floating in the air, rising and falling, a little distracted.
Until she heard Yuanyuan’s cry from over there, Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and found that the small team flying kites was coming this way. The one at the front was Ping An, and Ping An was still running all the way. It seemed like I was chasing something.
Behind Ping An, his younger brother Yuanyuan was also running, looking up at the sky and still shouting excitedly.
Shaoyao hugged her crying brother Tuan Tuan, and Wang Cuilian coaxed Tuan Tuan beside her.
But Tuan Tuan was obviously not satisfied with their repeated attempts to comfort her. He raised his head and pointed at the sky, "Run away, run away..."
Yang Ruoqing's eyes followed the direction pointed by her brother, and she almost felt happy at this sight.
It turns out that the kite ran away.
If it is released safely, the two of them will follow and watch, and they will not be able to escape.
Nine times out of ten, the two little guys were so excited to see the kite flying safely that they wanted to hold it and fly it themselves. As a result, they accidentally let go of their hands, and the kite was carrying the handle tied to the end of the kite string. It flew directly into the sky, and flew higher and higher, drifting in the direction of the wind towards the entrance of the village where Yang Ruoqing was.
"Mom, hurry up, jump up and catch the kite!"
