Huguang County, Zuojiazhuang.

Luo Baobao jumped out of the carriage and stood on the roadside with Zuo Jingling. The two siblings held their hands tightly together.

"Jingling, why are your hands so cold? Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

Luo Baobao rubbed Jingling's little hand and asked with concern on his face.

Zuo Jingling shook his head, took out a handful of orange candies from his trouser pocket and put them in Luo Baobao's hand.

"Wow, orange gummies? Leave them for me?"

Zuo Jingling nodded.

Baby Luo peeled off an orange candy and stuffed it into his mouth, "Yeah, it's delicious, Jingling, thank you, I like it very much."

Zuo Jingling grinned.

"Hey, Jingling, why did your front tooth fall out? Did it get knocked off somewhere?"

Zuo Jingling quickly covered his mouth and blushed.

Yang Ruoqing came over and touched Jingling's head tenderly: "It's not a knock. It's because Jingling has reached the age of changing teeth. That's how you came here in the first place."

This was the first time Yang Ruoqing met Zuo Junmo's son Zuo Jingling.

No one needs to introduce him, he can be recognized at first glance in the crowd, because the child's facial features are exactly the same as Zuo Junmo's.

There is no need to do a paternity test at all, it is a legitimate biological child.

What a beautiful little boy, the aura of the mountains and rivers of Huguang County seems to be gathered in his pair of dark pupils, with ripples of light.

Zuo Jingling raised his head and blinked at Yang Ruoqing. This was the first time he saw this beautiful aunt in front of him, but he didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

Because Sister Wuyou told him a lot about this aunt in the past.

Seeing him looking at her, Yang Ruoqing smiled gently at him: "Come on, Jingling, take us to your home."

Zuo Jingling started running happily. After running for two steps, he found something was missing. He turned back and took Luo Baobao's hand and ran forward together.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were infected by the joy of reuniting the two siblings after a long separation. The couple looked at each other and smiled. Yang Ruoqing said: "Mrs. Zuo has always dreamed of having a grandson, and now she has fulfilled her wish."

Luo Fengtang nodded: "One child is equivalent to ten adults, and the excitement this brings is different."

The housekeeper of the Zuo family came over, greeted Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, took the reins and greeted them into the village.

In the Zuo family, Luo Baobao took out the New Year gift for Zuo Jingling, and the two children played happily at the small table in the main room.

Most of the time, Baby Luo was talking, explaining to Zuo Jingling what kind of toy it was and how to play with it.

Zuo Jingling didn't speak, but when Baby Luo spoke, he looked at her seriously and listened to what she said.

His eyes were chasing her hands from time to time to see how she was playing. Luo Baobao demonstrated it once and put something into Zuo Jingling's hand: "Come, let's play with Hercules blocks together and build an acrobatic team!"

Yang Ruoqing and Mrs. Zuo withdrew their eyes from the children.

Mrs. Zuo invited Yang Ruoqing to drink tea and eat cakes.

"Last year you were not at home to celebrate the New Year, and I felt a lot more deserted during the first month of the year. This year I am back to celebrate the New Year. The elders in the family are happy, and the children also find it lively."

Mrs. Zuo smiled kindly. Perhaps it was because she had so much fun having her grandson on her knees. Her face was rosy and her complexion looked better than before.

Yang Ruoqing also smiled and replied: "I was in the capital last year, but my heart was at home!"

Mrs. Zuo had deep feelings: "I understand this. After becoming a mother, it is like this. No matter where you go, you will feel trapped in your heart."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, then asked about Mrs. Zuo's physical condition, and then took out the things brought by Aunt Cuilian, Mrs. Sun and Xiaohua to Mrs. Zuo one by one.

Mrs. Zuo was supported by the maid and looked at the piles of things. She couldn't help but praise each item she saw.

"This fermented bean curd is what I like to eat. Your mother is interested in it, so remember it." Mrs. Zuo especially liked the fermented fermented bean curd with wine served by Mrs. Sun.

Yang Ruoqing then took out two pairs of shoes from Xiao Huana.

Old Madam Zuo was flattered, "I still have to trouble the No. 1 lady to bring shoes for our grandparents with her own hands..."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Brother Zuo and I are sworn brothers and sisters. Naturally, Da'an and Xiaohua are also your juniors. It is her kindness to give you and Jingling shoes. I hope you will accept them."

Mrs. Zuo smiled and narrowed her eyes. Zuo Junmo was talking to Luo Fengtang at the side. After hearing this, he quickly called Zuo Jingling to come over and try on the shoes.

Zuo Jingling walked over obediently, took off his shoes and tried them on.

Not too big, not too small, just right.

"Jingling, these are the shoes made for you by the No. 1 Scholar Lady. After you wear them, you should study hard and take the exams for merit," Mrs. Zuo said lovingly, touching Zuo Jingling's head.

Zuo Jingling blushed slightly, carefully took off his shoes, put his own shoes back on and ran to Baby Luo to continue playing Hercules.

Here, Mrs. Zuo asked the maid beside her to put away her shoes properly, and then took Yang Ruoqing back to the backyard to talk between women.

Zuo Junmo, on the other hand, continued drinking tea and chatting with Yang Ruoqing in the main room. Soon lunch was placed on the table, including chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, beef, sheep, goose and rabbit.

Various seasonal vegetables, fruits and desserts are also available.

After the meal, the two children naturally had a place to play. Mrs. Zuo went back to the backyard to catch up on her sleep, while Zuo Junmo took Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing for a walk outside the village, chatting about the beautiful lakes and mountains.

I walked leisurely at my feet, and when I raised my head, I saw in front of my eyes the vast and boundless lake connected to the sky.

Under the blue sky, the lake water is clear, and the waves hit the rocks on the shore, setting off waves.

The large and small fishing boats that were stranded on the shore were also pushed around. These fishing boats were all tied tightly, so even if they were rocking, there was no need to worry about being pushed away by the waves.

"This is the Bada Lake." Zuo Junmo stopped and pointed to the place where the water and the sky meet in the distance, where there are several small black spots rising and falling.

"Those are big boats that go out of the lake, and the ones parked on the shore are small boats for families. In recent years, many fishermen have gradually given up their fields on the shore and focused on floating on the water, making a living by fishing, including the whole family.

Spend the day in bed."

Following Zuo Junmo's guidance, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang saw many such boats moored on the shore.

Some boats also have ropes pulled outside, and clothes changed by adults and children are hung on them.

"You have to live a life on the water for every meal. After all, it is safer to return to the shore." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang also said: "Even Dazhi's biological mother and father came out to make a living along the water every year according to the seasons, and would return to their hometown in Yangzhou in winter."

Zuo Junmo nodded: "Some fishermen make money on the water and use the money they earn to buy fields on the shore. Those who are lucky and have the means become boat bosses. They buy dozens of boats and rent them out, and enjoy the profits themselves.
