Xiao An would not officially report to the Ministry of War in Qing'an County until next year, so Xiao An followed Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang home the next morning.

Yang Huazhou sent the three of them to the official road and handed a wooden box to Yang Ruoqing: "Here are some fabrics I bought. Please help me take them back to your fifth aunt and ask her to give them to her in the twelfth lunar month."

Together with the children and your grandparents, we are making new clothes for the New Year."

Yang Ruoqing weighed the heavy wooden box and guessed that in addition to clothing materials, there were probably some items bought by the fifth uncle for the fifth aunt.

"Okay, don't worry, Fifth Uncle, I will hand it over to my Fifth Aunt with my own hands." She said, and winked at Yang Huazhou's playful look.

Yang Huazhou was stunned for a moment, and then he grinned sheepishly. This girl is so weird that you can't hide anything from her!

"Hey, there's a necklace inside. I saw some ladies and aunts who came to the restaurant to have dinner with this style of chain hanging around their necks. I'm afraid it's become popular in the past two years." Yang Huazhou continued.

"I bought one for your fifth aunt just like that. Your fifth aunt is more handsome than them all. She will look good wearing that necklace. Hehe..."

As Yang Huazhou talked, he stood there scratching his head and giggling.

Seeing Uncle Wu's silly look, it was really difficult for Yang Ruoqing to associate him with the restaurant owner's shrewdness, ability and smooth handling of affairs.

Such a fifth uncle is really good. He has already developed the shrewdness and stability of a businessman to the outside world.

He still never forgets his original intention for his wife and children. No matter whether his daughter-in-law is young or has accompanied him to have children for more than ten years and has become a middle-aged woman, in his eyes, his daughter-in-law will always be the most beautiful.

This is the real good man.

"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, Qing'er will help you deliver the things to Fifth Aunt properly." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Yang Huazhou smiled reassuringly: "Okay, then you should be careful on the road. By the way, let me tell your fifth aunt that this year is the same as in previous years. The restaurant will close on the afternoon of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month for the New Year. I will be home on the 24th."

"Tell your fifth aunt again, tell her not to worry about the New Year's pork or anything like that. When I get back, I have already said hello to your uncle and aunt, and they will give it to me.

Save the pork for the New Year.”

"As for the pickled fish, if she has the time, she can pickle them first."

Yang Huazhou babbled on and told a lot of things, all of which were trivial household chores, including the dusting before the Chinese New Year...

"Uncle Wu, you can talk to me later. I'll find a small notebook and write it down one by one, otherwise my brain won't be able to remember it!"

Yang Ruoqing joked that she found that Uncle Wu was really a careful man.

Yang Huazhou was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.

"That's pretty much it. I won't delay you any longer. So, Tangyazi and Xiaoan, please go slower on the road, safety first!" He warned them again.

Luo Fengtang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, we won't rush."

Xiao An raised his voice and said: "Uncle Wu, what you drank last night was not enough. Let's drink again during the Chinese New Year. We won't come back until we get drunk!"

Yang Huazhou smiled and said: "There's nothing wrong with this. Uncle Wu will stay with you until the end, hahaha!"

The carriage finally set off on the road. When I looked out the window, the familiar scenery of my hometown passed by my sight one by one.

Although it is the middle of winter, there is no green grass outside, the fields are dark, the wheat has not yet sprouted, and the rapeseed is sparse. It is really not as beautiful as the pink willows.

However, my hometown is my hometown, and I feel friendly when I look at it. When I go to my hometown, the water is sweet and the rice is fragrant.

"Qing'er, Wanghai County is just ahead. Should we go to Second Brother's place to have lunch first and then go back?" Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing asked.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the sun above her head. It was lunch time and she was a little hungry.

but……

"I'm timid about being close to my hometown. I don't want to go there. I'll just cook three bowls of fried noodles at a roadside stall on the street later, take them in the car to eat, and go back to the village directly!" she said.

If you go to the second brother's place at noon, the second brother and the eighth sister will definitely treat you warmly. Then it will be afternoon to eat and talk.

The fastest trip from Wanghai County to Changping Village is one and a half hours, which is about three hours.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. It is already dark when we get home. The two children may have finished eating, bathed and gone to bed.

I'll rush back right now, and I can get home before they finish school. Then I'll pick them up at the school gate and give them a big surprise. How great!

Yang Ruoqing asked Xiao An again what she thought. Xiao An, like her, wished she could spread her wings and fly back to Changping Village after a year's absence.

…

When the sun was about to set, the bell rang for the end of class in Haitang Academy, halfway up the hill behind Changping Village.

When the school gate opened, the children walked out in groups.

"Coming, coming, coming out!"

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but excitedly patted Luo Fengtang's arm beside her, but her gaze unblinkingly crossed the group of children and landed on the two children walking slowly behind.

"I saw it too." Luo Fengtang said.

His eyes were constantly searching among the children, and there was suppressed excitement in his voice.

When Luo Baobao and Dazhi walked out of the school gate, the two children habitually looked towards the large platform on the left side of the school gate.

It gets dark early in winter, and the crops in the village also enter the dormant period, leaving parents free.

Therefore, when school is over this afternoon, some parents who attach great importance to their children's education will come to the school gate to pick up their children.

Then all the children from the same village went down the mountain and went home together.

Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong agreed that they would take turns picking him up every day.

Yesterday it was Blacksmith Luo, so logically it was Yang Huazhong's turn today, but Baby Luo turned his head and looked around, but did not see the familiar figure of Mr. Ga.

The little girl tilted her head, and just when she showed surprise, Yang Ruoqing's shout suddenly came from the right side of the school gate.

"Baby! Ambition!"

Luo Baobao turned around suddenly and saw two familiar figures standing under the tree here, both of them smiling at him.

Moreover, Yang Ruoqing leaned down and stretched out her arms towards herself.

"Father, mother!"

Baby Luo shouted excitedly and then jumped up.

She took off her shoulder bag and stuffed it into Dazhi's hand beside her, and ran towards Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang like a gust of wind.

Dazhi was also very excited, but he was carrying a pair of schoolbags and holding one in his hand, which really affected his walking speed.

So when Dazhi came to Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, Baby Luo had already hung on Luo Fengtang like a monkey. The little girl held Luo Fengtang and shook her head left and right, looking around, and shouted happily:
Chapter completed!
