Chapter 1617 Guests
Counting the days, I haven't seen Zuo Junmo for almost a year.
In the past year, I have been traveling here and there. I have made two trips to the capital alone, and more than half a year has passed.
Originally, last year, I planned to go to Huguang County to visit Mrs. Zuo.
But with such a big belly, if I go there, my mother and mother-in-law will have to worry for several days.
Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to give up the idea and sent someone to deliver the new year's goods to Huguang County.
"Brother Zuo, it's a girl who's being disrespectful. She should have gone to see you first, so why don't you run over to see me in person..."
With Zuo Junmo, Yang Ruoqing said whatever was on her mind, as if she were facing her own elder brother.
"I feel so guilty for not visiting the old lady before the year, and not going to pay her New Year greetings after the new year!" she continued.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Zuo Junmo smiled and shook his head.
"Silly girl, what stupid things did you say?" he said warmly.
"Both my mother and I are aware of your situation. You really don't need to blame yourself."
"What's more, you are so interested in my mother that you sent so many specialties from the capital. My mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. During the first lunar month, guests came to the house, and my mother specially brought the specialties from the capital to greet the guests!" Zuo
Jun Mo said.
Yang Ruoqing was extremely happy when she heard Zuo Junmo's words.
"I haven't seen the old lady for a long time. I miss her so much. I wonder how her health is now?" she asked again.
Zuo Junmo nodded: "Mother is still the same as before. You don't need to worry about Qing'er."
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
Here, Yang Huazhong said: "Qing'er, you and Master Zuo come over and sit down to talk. Aren't you tired of standing?"
Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and hurriedly said to Zuo Junmo: "Brother Zuo, come on, let's sit down and talk!"
Zuo Junmo nodded and sat back again.
Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo were keeping company at the side. It happened that a villager outside came to talk to Blacksmith Luo about the fish pond.
Blacksmith Luo apologized to Zuo Junmo and hurried out to do some work.
Here, Yang Huazhong also stood up and said: "What, Qing'er, you just chat with Master Zuo first, I'll do something else, and I'll be back in half an hour at most!"
Without waiting for Yang Ruoqing to respond, Zuo Junmo also stood up and smiled humbly: "Third uncle, you can go on your own."
Yang Huazhong nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"
The man quietly winked at Yang Ruoqing and hurried out of the room.
Yang Ruoqing laughed dumbly.
She knew what her father had planned.
Dad secretly went out to buy food and drinks, hoping to entertain Zuo Junmo.
Most of the men from the villagers' families are so down-to-earth.
"Brother Zuo, you drink tea and let's continue talking."
Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses, smiled sweetly at Zuo Junmo, and raised her hand to gesture to the tea in front of him.
Zuo Junmo also curled his lips, smiled faintly, picked up the tea in front of him, and took an elegant sip.
"Brother Zuo, you are so busy with your business, and now is the time when farming is busy. The villagers depend on you for farming and irrigation. How can you spare the time to come to my place?"
Yang Ruoqing asked next.
"My sister has given birth to a little nephew. As a big brother, no matter how busy I am, I have to make time to see my little nephew!" Zuo Junmo said.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised: "Brother Zuo, I didn't report to you when I gave birth to the baby. How did you know that I gave birth?"
Zuo Junmo smiled: "Last time, you sent two brothers, Baozhu and Yuzhu, to deliver New Year's goods to me. I asked them about it and estimated that the child should be born soon, so I came over."
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.
As long as you are willing, there is nothing you can't find out.
"Brother Zuo is very thoughtful. I want to thank you on behalf of the children!" she said.
Kids?
Zuo Jun raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to speak again when footsteps approached.
I saw Mrs. Sun coming to the main room holding a pretty child.
That child, judging by his clothes and appearance, must be a boy. His facial features are exactly the same as Luo Fengtang's.
Zuo Junmo stood up hurriedly, "This child..."
Yang Ruoqing also stood up and said with a smile: "Luo Xingchen, my and Tang Yazi's son."
Zuo Junmo's eyes showed deep joy, "This boy looks so much like his father. If you didn't tell me, Qing'er, I would recognize him at a glance even if I were walking outside!"
While speaking, Zuo Junmo took out a red cloth bag from his body and opened it. Inside was a pair of longevity locks made of pure gold.
"This is a little thought from my uncle. If you wear it for your child, he will be safe for the rest of his life."
He said auspicious words and handed the longevity lock into Yang Ruoqing's hand.
Holding the heavy golden lock in her hand, Yang Ruoqing was shocked.
She and Mrs. Sun looked at each other, and Yang Ruoqing said: "Brother, this gold lock is too expensive. If you exchange it for silver, how many shops would you have to buy in Huguang County? If you let Chen'er wear it around your neck, this..."
Zuo Junmo smiled faintly and said, "Money is nothing but external possessions, so what if there are more shops and fewer shops?"
"The golden lock means good luck, and wearing it for children can ensure their safety."
Hearing Zuo Junmo's words, Yang Ruoqing nodded.
"Okay, then I'll thank you, uncle, on behalf of Chen'er. I won't keep the golden lock for now!" she said.
Zuo Junmo said hello with a smile, came to Sun's side, and teased Chen'er.
Chen'er usually loves to laugh, not to mention being teased by others. Sometimes she lies alone in the cradle and looks at the roof in trance.
Whenever I go out, I can't help but giggle alone.
In Yang Ruoqing's words, this kid has a very low point of laughter.
But now, no matter how much Zuo Junmo teased him, he always looked at Zuo Junmo indifferently.
Those little eyes are not what a child of almost two months old has at all, they are like an adult.
There was still a hint of wariness in his eyes. At the end, he seemed a little impatient and yawned shamelessly.
Zuo Junmo stepped back, touched his nose and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Am I poor at teasing children? Chen'er doesn't seem to like my teasing!"
Yang Ruoqing has been watching from the side, feeling surprised in her heart.
But Zuo Junmo still had to resolve his embarrassment.
"No, no, Chen'er likes to be teased by you, Brother Zuo. He probably got up a little early in the morning and is sleepy now," she said.
Zuo Junmo smiled.
I don’t even have a daughter-in-law, so I don’t understand this aspect.
Here, Mrs. Sun understood what Yang Ruoqing meant and quickly followed her words: "I'm afraid Chen'er is really sleepy. Qing'er, please sit with Master Zuo for a while. I'll go to the backyard to coax Chen'er to sleep.
"
"Okay, mother, go ahead!" Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Sun quickly hugged Chen'er and left.
"Qing'er, you and Tang Yazi have finally achieved enlightenment!"
Looking at the direction Sun and Chen'er were leaving, Zuo Junmo sighed with emotion.
Chapter completed!
