Luo Fengtang put a piece of freshly peeled chestnut flesh into Yang Ruoqing's hand and said, "Take them all with you. Even if my daughter can't dive, she can still stay in Zuojiazhuang and talk to Mrs. Zuo. It's rare for us to bring the children together."

My son went out to play, and the weather was clear and refreshing. If I left my daughter at home, not to mention that she would not be happy, even I would not feel at ease!"

Yang Ruoqing ate the sweet and glutinous chestnut meat and thought about Luo Fengtang's words, feeling that they made sense.

"Okay, then take it with you!" she said.

Hearing her sigh of relief, Luo Fengtang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly offered up another piece of chestnut meat with both hands.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at him and cursed in her heart: Daughter slave!

…

The sky is high and the air is crisp, the wind is light and the clouds are light.

Following the autumn colors along the way, Luo Fengtang's family of four successfully arrived at Zuojiazhuang, Huguang County at sunset the next day.

That night, the lights in Zuo's main hall were brightly lit, and Mrs. Zuo asked her cook to cook a table full of delicacies to entertain everyone.

Seeing Chen'er and Baobao, the golden couple, the old lady was even more envious.

Chen'er is handsome and calm, with polite manners. The baby is smart, smart, lively and cheerful. Mrs. Zuo praised her again and again, and praised her again and again.

The eyes he glanced at Zuo Junmo from time to time were filled with a bit of resentment.

Zuo Junmo is one or two years older than Luo Fengtang. If he had gotten married and had children when he was old like the people around him, he would have a house full of children now. How could she, an old woman, look at other people's children with envy?

?

Zuo Junmo greeted Yang Ruoqing and the children to eat food, and drank a small drink with Luo Fengtang, pretending not to see Mrs. Zuo's resentful eyes.

Mrs. Zuo was so angry that she pinched her thigh hard. She was so angry that she could only sigh secretly in her heart, regretting that she had given birth to an iron tree son.

No, even the iron trees are blooming. My son doesn’t know that the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon can bring about enlightenment. Alas!

After dinner, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao accompanied Mrs. Zuo back to the backyard to rest and talk.

Zuo Junmo and Luo Fengtang stayed in the front hall chatting, while Chen'er sat aside and listened.

In the backyard, in Mrs. Zuo's bedroom, she asked the maid to bring out mooncakes.

"Baby, the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here, come and eat moon cakes." Mrs. Zuo greeted.

Luo Baobao's eyes lit up, and he obediently came to the soft side where Mrs. Zuo was, lying on her knees and eating mooncakes obediently.

"Is it delicious?" Mrs. Zuo asked with a smile.

Luo Baobao nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious!"

Mrs. Zuo narrowed her eyes with a smile, raised her hand and stroked the soft top of Luo Baobao's hair: "If it's delicious, eat a few more pieces. I heard that you are coming over, so I asked your uncle Junmo to go to the county town to buy some. There are seven or eight.

You can taste each flavor later, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Luo Baobao nodded vigorously, with joy on his face.

Mrs. Zuo smiled lovingly.

After Luo Baobao took a few mouthfuls, he suddenly raised his head and asked her: "Granny, didn't that little sister come last time?"

Little sister?

Mrs. Zuo and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Seeing the confused look of both of them, Luo Baobao became a little anxious. He didn't bother to eat the moon cake in his hand, and raised his hand to make some gestures: "That little sister, she came with her mother, mother,

You still recognize her mother and even talk to her!"

An idea flashed in her mind, and Yang Ruoqing said: "I understand, the baby is talking about Yingchun's cousin and her daughter."

Mrs. Zuo also came to her senses. She squinted her eyes and said to Baby Luo with a smile: "That little sister didn't come here this time. She came with her mother to pay New Year's greetings during the first lunar month, and now she's back to her hometown. What, baby?

Do you miss that little sister?"

Luo Baobao nodded: "I think, last time we played together, I told her that I would bring her a gift next time I see her."

Luo Baobao took out a bracelet made of shells from his pocket. Under the candlelight, it was colorful and bright, and it made a crisp sound when it collided. It looked like an object that little girls would like.

"This bracelet is so beautiful!" Mrs. Zuo smiled and took the bracelet and looked at it in front of her eyes.

"We have many rivers here, but we rarely see small shells like this. This is..."

"My brother brought these back from the East China Sea. They are seashells." Luo Baobao explained.

"Granny, if you like it, I'll give it to you. I'll come back next time and bring another bunch for my little sister," she said again.

Mrs. Zuo's eyes flashed with warmth, "Is this bracelet really a gift for me?"

Luo Baobao nodded seriously: "As long as Grandma Ga likes it, that's fine."

Mrs. Zuo's face was full of joy, "Okay, very good, Grandma Ga likes it very much!"

After Luo Baobao ate the mooncake for a while, he wanted to go to the front yard to find Chen'er.

Mrs. Zuo then asked her to take the mooncakes to find Chen'er, leaving Yang Ruoqing to continue with her family affairs.

"This child's personality is a little out of control. He can't sit still. He wants to play for a while." Looking at Luo Baobao running away, Yang Ruoqing smiled helplessly.

Mrs. Zuo said: "You can't say that about children. Children, especially at their age, like to play. Your baby is quite sensible and well-behaved. At least he can sit with me, an old woman, for so long. Look, you gave it away.

Give me the bracelet, so don’t ask her too much, as it will limit her nature."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Old madam, how are cousin Yingchun, mother and daughter doing now? Are they all okay?" she asked again.

I still remember that I met their mother and daughter last time. The situation at that time was not very good. The man in my husband's family was sick, the relationship between the couple was not very good, and the husband's mother-in-law and sister-in-law did not get along well.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Mrs. Zuo said, "Jun Mo sent mother and daughter back that time and stayed there to help her take care of some property."

"Over the past year or so, Yingchun's husband-in-law has recovered a bit, and the relationship between the couple should be pretty good. Not long after returning in the first month of the year, the good news came that Yingchun is pregnant again, and her life is pretty safe for now."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "That's good."

Mrs. Zuo is getting old and gets tired easily after talking for a long time.

"Old madam, you have a good rest. I will come over to talk to you tomorrow."

After leaving Mrs. Zuo's bedroom, Yang Ruoqing went straight to the front yard.

Chen'er and Baobao were playing Go in the main room. There were mooncakes and tea on the plate next to them.

The two children were eating, drinking, and playing chess, and they were so happy.

"Where are your father and Uncle Jun Mo?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"We are admiring the moon in the yard!" Luo Baobao raised his hand and pointed outside.

In the yard outside, there are stone tables and benches under an osmanthus tree.

As expected, Luo Fengtang and Zuo Junmo were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea, admiring the moon, and talking.

Yang Ruoqing came over with a smile and sat down on the stone bench next to Luo Fengtang.
