After leaving Huguang County, we walked southeast along the high river dam.

"Mom, I discovered something interesting." Luo Baobao took his head back and said excitedly to Yang Ruoqing.

"Oh? What's interesting?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Luo Baobao looked at the willow trees flashing past the car window: "I found that it's still the middle of winter where we live, but here in Huguang County, it seems like spring has entered."

"Look, Mom, the weeping willows on the river dam have sprouted buds, and the silk ribbons are hanging down to the river. They are so beautiful. It makes me want to fold a few to weave a garland on my head."

Luo Baobao pointed at his head as he spoke, while Yang Ruoqing looked at her tenderly.

"There is more water here and it is slightly south, so the return to spring is faster than over there." Yang Ruoqing explained patiently.

The carriage got slower and slower, and finally stopped on the side of the road.

"I have something to do, please wait for me in the car for a moment." After saying this, Luo Fengtang walked quickly towards the bottom of the river dam.

"What did my dad do?" Luo Baobao asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing said: "People have three urgent needs, let's just wait patiently."

Luo Baobao originally wanted to open the curtain to see what was going on, but when he heard Yang Ruoqing's words, he quickly took his hand back, sat next to Yang Ruoqing, and told her about the dream she had on the road...

"I dreamed that Daju gave birth to a litter of kittens. Their eyes didn't even open. Their paws and noses were so pink and so cute..."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and listened patiently.

The big orange that appeared in Luo Baobao's dream was a stray cat that she and Luo Fengtang caught last time in the small yard where Lao Yangtou lived at the entrance of the village.

It was a female cat. Because Baby Luo had long wanted to raise a cat, Yang Ruoqing cleaned the orange cat and gave it to Baby Luo to take care of.

"Daju has a wild temper. When you feed it, just put the food in the iron cage. Don't touch it with your hands, as it will be easily scratched and bitten."

Yang Ruoqing once again warned that anyone who has raised a cat knows that it will not get close to you unless you raise it as a kitten.

But even so, when playing with your own cat, you will inevitably get scratched. After all, it is a beast, and it doesn't matter what you do, so it's up to the owner to decide what to do.

If you directly take over an adult cat, and that cat has been wandering outside for a long time and is more alert and wild than a domestic cat, then it will take you a long time to raise it to maturity.

That's what Big Orange is like.

It's been about half a month, and Daju has been curling up in a corner of the iron cage every day. When someone comes near, it arches its back, has fur all over its body, and even snaps at you.

"Mom, Daju is actually very good. It just suffered a lot outside and was beaten and kicked out by others, so it feels insecure." Luo Baobao explained to Yang Ruoqing.

"I feed it every day during this period, and it has stopped snoring at me. Sometimes when I call it, it flicks its tail twice and looks at me."

"You feed it every day, and it will recognize you. Small animals such as cats and dogs are spiritual. You should treat them kindly." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Baobao nodded vigorously: "Mom, Daju will not always be locked in an iron cage like this, right? How uncomfortable it is. When can he be released?"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, "Cats naturally like to jump up and down and like freedom. When we come back from Huguang County this time, we will try to release it from the iron cage. Then we will put a rope around its neck and tie it in the yard.

Under the tree inside, give it enough range of movement. When it is mature, take off the rope completely and give it real freedom."

The conversation between mother and daughter was interrupted by footsteps, and Luo Fengtang's voice immediately sounded outside the carriage curtain.

"Daughter, look what this is."

The curtain was raised, and Luo Fengtang stood outside, holding a willow wreath made of willow branches and stuffing it in.

"Wow! I-did I read that correctly?"

Luo Baobao stood up in excitement. She had grown taller now, and she almost hit her head on the roof of the car when she stood up so hard.

Fortunately, Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to cover her in time, "Don't be impatient, just be careful."

Luo Baobao was preoccupied with the willow ring in Luo Fengtang's hand. He responded to Yang Ruoqing's instructions and went in and out of his left ear. He didn't even say "hmm" and took the willow ring and gestured to his head.

"Dad, is this how you wear it?"

"It's a little crooked. Ask your mother to help you adjust it."

"Mom, help me adjust it."

Yang Ruoqing stretched out her hand to help her adjust it. She sat back down and looked for something in the carriage.

"Are you looking for this?"

Yang Ruoqing handed over a small bronze mirror.

Luo Baobao chuckled, took the small bronze mirror and tilted his head to look at himself. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He felt like a spring girl, and his mouth was grinning to one side.

Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Fengtang outside the carriage and found that he was looking directly at Baby Luo with a fatherly smile on his face.

Yang Ruoqing sighed in her heart, this man really dotes on his daughter to the core. This child Luo Baobao was really blessed in her previous life to be reborn as Luo Fengtang's daughter.

To put it bluntly, the life of the legitimate daughter of the great general who protects the country like Luo Baobao is much better than that of Qi Xingyun's princess and daughter in the palace.

The princess will be used as a chess piece in the future to fulfill her responsibilities for the country.

As for the general's daughter, she was the real apple of his eye, and she was loved by her parents all her life.

Luo Fengtang felt a gaze looking at him and realized it was Yang Ruoqing.

He was anxious, and looking at his memory, he almost forgot.

"Qing'er, this is yours."

He handed over another willow ring.

This willow ring is larger than the one on Baby Luo's head, and is obviously made according to the shape of Yang Ruoqing's head.

"I'm an adult now, I'm so embarrassed to wear these..."

Although Yang Ruoqing said this in a 'hypocritical' way, she still took the willow ring with her hand honestly and played with it between her fingers, her eyes and brows filled with sweetness and shyness.

Luo Fengtang said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone wears them when we go outing in the spring."

Luo Baobao's eyes turned back and forth on her parents twice. After getting a signal from Luo Fengtang's eyes, she quickly took the willow ring from Yang Ruoqing's hand and put it directly on Yang Ruoqing's head.

"Mom, if you are shy, just wear it in the car. My dad knitted this for you. You must not not wear it, otherwise my dad will be sad!"

After putting it on, Baby Luo played with Yang Ruoqing's face for Luo Fengtang to see: "Dad, look, my mother is wearing it, does she look like Miss Chun?"

Luo Fengtang's eyes widened.

"Look, Mom, my dad can't even move his eyes away from his eyes. It shows how beautifully you wear this willow ring. You are truly a spring girl." Luo Baobao added fuel to the fire.
