Yang Ruoqing originally planned to stay here with Luo Fengtang until the middle of the month, and then leave home.

She rode a fast horse home alone, and she arrived in half a month's time. When she got home, it was just about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and she had to start preparing for the annual New Year celebrations.

Year-end inventory of the accounts of several local stores, preparations for the New Year at home, buying new clothes and food for the elders and children in the family, and the exchange of favors during the New Year.

Luo Fengtang is not at home all year round, so she has to rely on her to take care of these things.

However, after only two days here, people from my hometown came.

At that time, Yang Ruoqing went to dig winter bamboo shoots in a bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain. When she arrived at the bamboo forest, she only dug two bamboo shoots, and Luo Fengtang hurriedly found them.

"Qing'er, stop digging, Xiao An is here!" Luo Fengtang shouted.

Yang Ruoqing stood up and looked over, and saw Luo Fengtang walking quickly towards this side, followed by Xiao An, both of whom had anxious faces.

"Xiao An? Why did you come here when you weren't staying in Qing'an County?" she asked in surprise.

Could it be that something happened at home?

Soon, Xiao An followed Luo Fengtang and came to her in the bamboo forest. "Sister, the baby is sick and is clamoring for you. No one can coax her."

"She refused to take medicine or eat. The family members forced her mouth to pour the medicine in, and she cried so hard that she vomited out all the medicine and water..."

Upon hearing this, the shovel digging bamboo shoots in Yang Ruoqing's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Not caring that her hands were still stained with dirt, she grabbed Xiao An's arm and asked nervously: "What disease does the baby have? How long has it been? What did the doctor say? You can go to the county medical center to see it."

?”

Xiao An said: "The child was sick a few days before I came here. Counting the time I came here, he was already half a month old!"

"I don't know if things are getting better now. Anyway, when I am at home, my children are wonderful,"

"Recurrent fever and cough. The cough is most severe in the morning and night, and is slightly better during the day..."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing's face turned pale, and she stood there, feeling anxious and confused for a moment.

Luo Fengtang hurriedly stepped forward to hold her shoulders and said: "I must have caught a cold due to the change of seasons. Zhi'er also had such a cough when she was a child. At that time, she was sent to the town hospital for three to five days before she recovered."

"It's not unusual for a child to cough, but she needs you to be by her side. Don't panic. Go back and clean up. I'll send you back today!"

What else could Yang Ruoqing say? She nodded with tears in her eyes and walked towards the military camp worriedly.

When I returned to the military camp, I was naturally not in the mood to make a fire or cook something.

Originally, I planned to make winter bamboo shoots and meat for Luo Fengtang to eat this afternoon, but now, two muddy winter bamboo shoots were thrown into the basket, and I didn’t bother to take care of them.

She was packing two pieces of clothing in the camp, and Xiao An was taken there by Vice General Xie to have lunch with the soldiers.

Luo Fengtang opened the curtain and came in, holding a tray in his hand. On the tray were a bowl of vegetables, a bowl of rice, and a pair of chopsticks.

"Qing'er, I'll pack your clothes. You come here and have a bite to eat first." He put the food on his usual office desk and looked at her back and said.

Yang Ruoqing was immersed in tying the four corners of the bundle together. Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "I have no appetite. I don't want to eat it."

Luo Fengtang frowned, came to her side and reached out to hold her arm: "You have to eat even if the sky falls!"

Yang Ruoqing stood there with her head lowered and said nothing.

Suddenly, she raised her other hand to cover her mouth, and she, who rarely cried, began to sob muffled.

Seeing her thin shoulders shaking slightly as she cried, Luo Fengtang's heart twitched violently.

He reached out and held her in his arms, stroking her back.

"It's okay. Our daughter will be fine. Don't worry too much." He coaxed her softly.

"This child has been in better shape than other children since she was a child, and she has been practicing boxing and kicking. It's just a cough. As long as you go back, calm her down, and let her take the medicine, she will be fine...

” he continued.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head gently: "I blame myself."

"What are you blaming yourself for? This has nothing to do with you. What kid doesn't catch a cold? This is how we came here when we were kids..."

"No!" She raised her eyes, which were red from crying, and looked at him.

"It's because I failed to fulfill my duties as a mother. I'm not a qualified mother. I can't stay with my child even when he's sick, otherwise the child wouldn't resist taking medicine like that. When I think about it, I feel so angry and so angry at myself!

"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise her hand and slap her face.

He wanted to slap him a second time, but Luo Fengtang grabbed his wrist.

In addition to being anxious, there was also anger in his eyes.

"Qing'er, please stop doing stupid things. What if you beat yourself to death?" His voice was a little rougher.

"You are the baby's mother and I am his father. If you blame yourself, I will blame myself even more!"

"Now, don't say anything, don't do anything, just listen to me and eat this meal obediently. Once you're full and strong, I'll send you and Xiao An out of the woods. What's more important is that you go back to accompany your child as soon as possible!"

He couldn't help but pull her towards the desk.

Yang Ruoqing staggered to the desk and sat down with his shoulder pressed on her.

"This is made by the kitchen staff in the military camp. You can just eat a few bites, otherwise you won't have the energy to rush on." His voice softened, and he picked up the chopsticks and brought them to her.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at him, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Sit down and eat together."

Luo Fengtang shook his head gently, "I can eat anytime. You hurry up and eat. Xiao An has gone to eat too."

He said, raising his hand and gently pinching her nose that was red from crying, his eyes filled with fondness: "Stop crying, Xiao An saw it and thought I bullied you!"

"You brought this boy up, and he is closer to you than anyone else. If he knew that I bullied you, he would have to fight with me. You should eat it quickly."

She was so amused by his words that she burst into laughter.

"Xiao An also grew up with you. He knows better than anyone whether you dare to bully me or not," she said.

Then, she immersed herself in eating. Although the food cooked by this group of soldiers was really unpalatable, the soldiers could eat it, and she, Yang Ruoqing, could also eat it!

When she was about to finish eating, Xiao An had already finished and came over.

"I've finished eating too and wrapped myself on the bed." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiao An said: "Okay, then I will take out the package first and wait for you outside."

Luo Fengtang explained things to Vice General Xie, fetched Ma Wang, and sent Yang Ruoqing and Xiao An off.

Yang Ruoqing said: "No need to send him off, we know the way back."

However, Luo Fengtang insisted on sending you away and said: "I will send you out of this forest. When you get to Tianhai County, I will return."

Yang Ruoqing couldn't defeat him in the end and had to let him go.

When the three of them rode fast horses to Tianhai County, it was almost dark.
