Yang Ruoqing nodded lightly, "For my children, I originally thought that as long as they are safe and healthy and can live a life without worries about food and clothing, there is nothing wrong with them being like ordinary people."

"However, when I later discovered that my child was so outstanding and he had so many ideas of his own, I changed my mind and didn't want to restrict them because of my personal opinions."

"There are some things that I think are good, but they may not be suitable for children. What the children think is good is what is most suitable for them. After all, life is such a long road and they have to walk it by themselves, don't you think so?"

Sun sighed lightly, but nodded.

"Qing'er, your words really spoke to my heart. At first, your father and I felt the same way about Da'an and Xiao'an. We were very entangled for a while... In the end, we let Da'an take the path of studying.

I walked farther and farther, and finally reached the capital."

"At that time, many people in the village said that I was stupid. Even your father scolded your father. They said that if you don't send your children to school, they will stay with you to work in the fields and provide for you until the end of your life. The whole family will be lively.

How much fun was it?"

"I have to sell everything to send my children to school. Is this okay? If I go to school, I won't be able to come back. It's deserted around me..."

Talking about the doubts she had faced in the past, Sun just shook his head and chuckled, but there was no trace of regret in his eyes.

"Your father and I have no regrets. Even if we are scolded as stupid, we are still happy. It is deserted. Do you think how good Da'an is now? The couple and their son have established themselves in the capital, working in the Hanlin Academy, and meeting the emperor.

It’s more times than your father and I have met with the county magistrate, how wonderful it is..."

Yang Ruoqing stepped forward and gently hugged Sun's shoulders.

"Mom, you and my father are both great parents. It is precisely because of your open-minded parents that we, my three siblings, are living the good life we ​​have today."

"You and my father are not alone. Duo'er and I are with you. Xiao An often comes back to visit you. Although Da An is far away in the capital, his heart is firmly with us."

"Yes, yes. Every time Da'an writes home, he always asks about your father's and mine's health. He has us in mind."

Ms. Sun also nodded repeatedly. She had no doubt that her son was filial.

Because the mountains are high and the rivers are long, many times I miss you for a long time, and I inevitably like to think wildly, fearing that they will not be able to eat or sleep well outside.

"By the way, Qing'er, did Xiao An say when he would go home? Your fifth uncle came back a few days ago and said that Xiao An didn't give him the right words." Sun asked again.

In the past, during New Years and holidays, or if something happened at home, the uncle and nephew would basically go together at the same time. Even if one of them was delayed due to something and couldn't make it at the same time, he would ask the other person who came back early to bring a message to the family.

Tell your family members not to worry.

But this time, Xiao An didn't say anything accurate to Yang Huazhou, and he even had to question whether he would come back.

"According to usual habits, Xiao An should be back in time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Plus, it's my grandma's 70th birthday, so he has no reason not to come back."

Yang Ruoqing and Sun analyzed this carefully.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival won't be until four or five days. Don't rush, there's still time. If you don't come back in the end, it must be because the Ministry of War has something to do and you can't leave. Let's be casual."

After hearing this, Mr. Sun could only nod, "If you really can't come back, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, ask your father and your fifth uncle to go to Qing'an County to see Xiao An and see what's going on with him. How many things have I done for him?"

I just happened to bring some autumn clothes with me to him."

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, but thought of another thing.

Xiao An's life and death brother He Qingsong died, and it happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Reunion Festival. The He family's parents must be suffering.

Xiao An is a person who values ​​affection and justice. Could it be that he went to the He family to visit the He family's parents and therefore delayed his return?

I accompanied Mrs. Sun to clean up the warehouse for a while, and listened to her talking to me about the layout and arrangements for the birthday banquet in a few days.

Just listening to these makes people yearn for it, there are a lot of delicious food, and it is so lively... Compared with the He family, some families are really happy and some are sad. If Xiao An went to spend the holidays with the He family's parents, it would be the same

It should be.

Somehow the topic turned to Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that your mother-in-law is not blessed enough to live such a long life..."

The smile on Yang Ruoqing's face also dimmed. Not only was it the He family, but she herself also had relatives she was missing in her heart.

The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows. This is a difficult thing in ancient times!

…

Donglin County, an inconspicuous small county east of Qing'an County, is far smaller than Wanghai County and Huguang County in terms of population and size.

Famous celebrities in Wanghai County, the Protector General and Zhongyonghou, the Number One Scholar, Tanhua Lang, and the youngest scholar in Da Qi, Luo Xingchen... these are all the signatures of Wanghai County. Because of the gathering of these celebrities and capable people, the entire Wanghai County

The style stands out in the surrounding counties.

Because Huguang County is adjacent to the Eight Great Lakes and has developed waterways, the constant flow of merchant ships traveling from south to north makes Huguang County an important hub for waterways in this area. In addition, Huguang County itself has beautiful scenery. The Ziwei Cave in Ziwei Mountain is said to be where immortals made elixirs.

The place of ascension.

A thousand-year-old peony on the cliffs of Yinping Mountain blooms every year around the time of Grain Rain, and literati from near and far come to admire it.

It is said that this thousand-year-old peony has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, absorbing the essence of the world, the sun and the moon, and has long since become spiritual. It once transformed into a graceful woman in white, fluttering butterflies by the mountain stream, and is full of splendor...

Donglin County does not have any unique conditions, nor does it produce many famous people. In addition, its geographical location is relatively remote. Among the counties under the jurisdiction of Qing'an County, it is the county seat that slings the dragon's tail. It is said that the county magistrate of Donglin County went to Qing'an County.

When An County saw the county magistrate, the seats were far behind those of the magistrates of other counties. It was a marginalized existence.

Donglin County also gave up on itself, so this area is extremely backward. The more backward it is, the more information is blocked and the more outdated ideas become.

The saying that unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters is exactly this kind of place.

There is a small village called Tianba Village at the bottom of Donglin County, with a population of 20 or 30 households. A piece of news has been circulating these days.

That is Wang Moazi, the youngest son of the Li Zheng family, who wants to marry He Lian'er, the daughter of the He family.

Wang Mozi, the youngest of the three sons of the Li Zheng family, stole chickens from the neighbor's yard when he was a child. He was chased by the neighbor's guard dog and lost his footing. He fell on his head. Since then, his brain has been hard to use. He has tried to do what normal people do.

What a stupid thing to do.

When villagers carrying water passed by his door, he spat into their buckets and threw the poop he had finished pooping on to their roofs.

On a hot day, young girls and young wives gathered under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool air and do needlework. He ran up to them and took off his pants with a splash, sticking out his big white buttocks and patting them loudly, making the woman

They were scared to death.

In the village, they stopped little girls of seven or eight years old and dragged them behind the straw. If they were held down, they would do some ugly things to them, which frightened many children.
