"Sister-in-law, let's not talk about this anymore. Go to sleep quickly. Your body needs a good rest."

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and said to Li Zheng's wife.

Li Zheng's wife said: "You won't sleep?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "I really can't sleep. Besides, it will be dawn in a few hours, and I want to see them off and see them off."

Li Zheng's wife had no choice but to yawn and go to bed. Soon, she fell asleep with her back to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing sat beside the bed, sitting quietly, thinking, before she knew it, it would be daybreak.

Guessing the time for their departure, Yang Ruoqing stood up and left the house.

After this farewell, it is estimated that the child named Dazhi will never be seen again.

Dazhi's facial features, personality, etc. are so similar to Chen'er, they are completely carbon copies.

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing had a strong impulse to rush to the river to take another look at the child.

As soon as I arrived in the main room, I suddenly felt a cramp in my stomach.

I guess I caught a cold last night and had a stomachache.

This man had three urgent needs and couldn't hold it in any longer. Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to turn around and go to the toilet in the backyard.

When she came out of the toilet and hurried to the river, the few awning boats from Yangzhou that were docked on the shore were gone.

Is this... gone?

She was surprised.

Looking at the vacated water surface, looking to the east, at the corner of the sun struggling to climb out of the water at the intersection of water and sky.

Yang Ruoqing's heart suddenly felt like a corner was missing.

I can no longer see my ambition, and I can no longer see my Chen'er through my ambition...

She slowly knelt down, hugged her lonely self with her arms, and let the cold wind blow her hair, fluttering lightly in the wind.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from behind.

The footsteps were steady and rapid. Normally, she would have been able to tell who was coming.

But now, her thoughts have drifted far, far away with the eastward current...

Until, a gentle voice enveloped me from above...

"I didn't see you in the front or back of the house, so I guessed that you must have come here."

"Silly girl, isn't it cold to squat here in such a cold wind? Come on, let me help you up and let's go back."

Luo Fengtang said, holding her hand gently with his big warm hand.

The warmth spread to her palms, and she just came back to her senses.

She raised her eyes and looked at Luo Fengtang in front of her, and pursed her lips slightly.

"When did you go back? I didn't even meet you," she said.

Luo Fengtang said: "I just went back, I guess we just missed it on the way out."

She hummed softly, that should be the case.

There are many things we pass by in this world, and being able to walk side by side is a kind of fate and a gift.

So, cherish it.

Here, Luo Fengtang had gently helped her up from the ground. She probably had been squatting for a long time and her legs were a little stiff.

Standing up suddenly, I was still a little unaccustomed to it, and my legs couldn't help but tremble.

Fortunately, Luo Fengtang supported her in time, and he looked at her pale face full of tiredness.

"Didn't you sleep after last night?" He asked, "You came here so early in the morning. Do you want to see Dazhi for the last time?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled bitterly, "I can't hide anything from you."

Luo Fengtang also curled his lips, his eyes filled with distress.

"Silly girl, I am your husband. I can guess what you are thinking," he said.

"I can see that you can't let go of your ambition." He added.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Emotions need a sustenance. I didn't find our Chen'er. I finally met a child who looks so similar to Chen'er. I just want to take another look at him..."

They look similar and are about the same age.

From this child, I imagine Chen'er's every move...

"Qing'er, do you really want to keep Dazhi by your side? If you really want to, we can chase him back." Luo Fengtang said again.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at him and said: "What are you talking about? We are not bullies, but we are going to rob other people's children?"

Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "Let's go then. After breakfast, we'll go home."

"Yes!" Yang Ruoqing nodded, let Luo Fengtang support her, turned around and walked towards Hekou Village together.

As soon as I walked into Li Zheng's house, I saw Li Zheng's wife, who was supposed to be cooking dinner, coming out of the west room with a bowl in her hand and a sad look on her face.

Li Zheng and Zuo Junmo were both guarding the main room. When they saw Li Zheng's wife coming out, the two men surrounded her.

"How is it? Still unwilling to eat?" Li Zheng asked.

The woman shook her head, "I used all my coaxing methods. I just didn't open my mouth, didn't cry, and didn't make a fuss. I just sat there like a little adult..."

Suddenly, she turned her head and saw Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang coming in from outside, and Li Zheng's wife's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh, Miss Yang is back!"

Li Zheng's wife held the bowl and rushed to the door of the house to greet Yang Ruoqing.

"Come on, come on, you're back just in time. That kid won't open his mouth to eat. I can't coax him. Go and try."

As the woman spoke, the bowl containing half a bowl of red bean porridge was immediately put into Yang Ruoqing's hand.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, "What child? What's the situation?"

Li Zheng's wife said: "What? Brother Luo has already gone to find you, but he hasn't told you yet?"

"What are you talking about?" Yang Ruoqing turned her head and looked at Luo Fengtang, who was holding back a smile, and became even more confused.

Li Zheng's wife said: "Dazhi, Dazhi's mother took several other children back to Yangzhou and left Dazhi for you..."

In the west room.

Yang Ruoqing didn't even have time to finish listening to Li Zheng's wife, before she rushed into the west room like a gust of wind.

When she saw the bed in the west room, sitting back on the bed, holding her knees with her hands, her back pressed against the wall behind the bed, and her ambition looking guarded, Yang Ruoqing seemed to be dreaming.

Immediately, there was a burst of ecstasy.

"Ambition? It really is a ambition!"

She smiled, came to the bedside, and stretched out her hand towards Dazhi.

"Dazhi, don't be afraid. Come, come to Auntie." She said softly.

The moment Dazhi saw Yang Ruoqing approaching, his fearful eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, the child's little eyes looked at Yang Ruoqing expectantly.

When Yang Ruoqing came to the bedside and stretched out her hand towards him, Dazhi immediately threw himself into her arms.

A pair of small hands hugged Yang Ruoqing's neck tightly, and her small body pressed tightly into Yang Ruoqing's arms.

Yang Ruoqing quickly hugged him in her arms. The child's little hands were ice cold.

The clothes he was wearing were in tatters.

I finally put on a pair of shoes on my feet, but the shoes were obviously much larger and there were two holes on the toes.
Chapter completed!
