Xiaohua sat there, stroking her swollen belly with both hands.

Hearing this, he blushed and nodded obediently, "Yes, what brother Da'an means is what I mean. I am also looking forward to giving birth to the child as soon as possible, and I also want to return to the village."

The conversation then shifted to the child, and the previous melancholy gradually faded away.

In Chen'er's room, Chen'er was chatting with his uncle Xiao An about interesting things on the battlefield.

Xiao An was talking with great joy, even gesticulating while speaking, while Chen'er was holding her cheeks in her hands, listening intently.

Finally, Xiao An said to Chen'er: "Chen'er, do you know, when I was your age, my brother-in-law, your father, whittled a sword out of wood for me."

"I was practicing kung fu with that wooden sword. I got up every day to do horse walking, boxing, and stabbed sandbags with the wooden sword."

"At that time, I dreamed of having a sword of my own. I knew that only by joining the army and going to the battlefield would I have the opportunity to pick up a real sword. Now, my dream has come true. You see, I have so many swords.

Okay, I've killed ten enemies' heads with my own hands using it!"

When Chen'er heard what Xiao An said, she reached out her hand very excitedly and stroked the sword in Xiao An's hand.

"Chen'er, do you have a sword?" Xiao An asked.

Chen'er smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"Is it a wooden sword?" Xiao An asked again.

Chen'er said: "There are both wooden swords and precious swords. In the arsenal in Donghai Mansion, there are bows and arrows, Langya sticks, Fang Tian painted halberds, spears..."

"All weapons with names and titles on the weapons catalog are available in the warehouse!"

Hearing this, Xiao An's eyes lit up.

"I really want to see it!" he said.

Chen'er smiled and said: "When my grandfather comes back later, after I tell him, I will definitely take my uncle to visit the armory. I can give it to my uncle if he likes any weapons!"

"Seriously?" Xiao An asked excitedly.

Chen'er nodded, "How dare your nephew deceive your uncle?"

Xiao An nodded excitedly, then stretched out a palm and slapped Chen'er's palm: "Okay, then it's a deal!"

"Xiao An, Chen'er..."

Yang Ruoqing's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

The conversation in the room stopped abruptly, Xiao An responded, and Chen'er hurriedly opened the door.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang standing at the door, Chen'er took a step back and bowed obediently, "Father, mother."

Xiao An also followed and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, why didn't you go back to your house to rest at this late hour?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "No, you are going back to the Acropolis tomorrow. Your brother-in-law and I have something to do here."

After the couple entered the house, Yang Ruoqing took out two brocade boxes and placed them on the table.

One was pushed in front of Chen'er, and the other was placed in front of Xiao An.

"The items in these two brocade boxes were brought back from the southwest by your brother-in-law."

"One for Chen'er as a gift for the exam."

"There is one more thing for you, Xiao An. You two should keep it properly." Yang Ruoqing said.

Chen'er and Xiao An looked at each other, then looked at Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang smiled lightly and said, "Let's look at the gift first and see if you like it."

Chen'er and Xiao An quickly lowered their heads to unpack the items in their respective brocade boxes.

"Wow, this is me..."

Chen'er picked up the pocket watch strung on a gold chain with a novel look on her face.

Yang Ruoqing said: "This is called a pocket watch. It is similar to an hourglass. They are both used to calculate the time of day. However, because it comes from a foreign country, it is slightly different from the time we usually use. I will tell you later.

You will naturally understand that it is very practical for you to use for studying in the academy."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Chen'er's eyes lit up, holding the pocket watch in both hands, as if she couldn't put it down.

And here, Xiao An also picked up the items in his brocade box, "What is this?"

he asked with a confused look on his face.

Luo Fengtang said: "Pick it up, put it in front of your eyes, and then look at the barrel in the corner over there."

Xiao An did as he was told, and after a moment, he exclaimed.

"Oh my god, how could that barrel suddenly be in front of my nose? I could see it so clearly and vividly," he said.

"This is called a telescope. As the name suggests, it is used to expand your vision." Luo Fengtang explained.

"On the battlefield and in defending the city in the county, this thing can come in handy, so you can keep it." Luo Fengtang said again.

Xiao An looked excited, holding the telescope in front of his eyes for a while, and then putting it down again. Such repeated tests were extremely novel.

Chen'er also came over, and the two of them exchanged and admired each other's gifts. Both of them were excited and happy.

They didn't even have to say any hypocritical polite words to refuse, which shows how much they like these two gifts.

When Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang walked out of their house and closed the door, they could still vaguely hear their excited voices.

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "They can play with these two gifts all night, they are still children after all!"

Chen'er is only over seven years old, and Xiao An is only fourteen or fifteen years old. In modern times, one is in first grade and the other is in junior high school!

"Qing'er, when we return to the village, remember to buy more gifts for our daughter and Dazhi."

Luo Fengtang suddenly told Yang Ruoqing this.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then understood his intention.

The gifts he brought back were given to Chen'er and Xiaoan respectively. Naturally, Bao Bao and Dazhi were disappointed.

"You, there is no need to feel guilty. Not everything has to be settled in a bowl of water." Yang Ruoqing enlightened Luo Fengtang.

"Besides, gifts should be given to the right people. Telescopes and pocket watches are useless for babies and ambitions,"

"It would be a waste to give it to the two of them. It is better to buy a set of Four Treasures of the Study for Dazhi. He likes those. As for Baby Luo..."

Yang Ruoqing suddenly paused.

"What should I buy for the baby?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Yang Ruoqing smiled a little awkwardly and said: "This child is grown up now, and he can't live with a pair of silk flowers, two new clothes, and a few packs of snacks!"

"What should we do?" Luo Fengtang asked, racking his brains to see what he could buy to please his daughter.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Actually, there is something that will definitely impress her, because she has been thinking about it for a long time, but I am not willing to give it to her!"

"What?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing raised her finger and pointed at her waist: "Your daughter, you have been thinking about my black gold soft whip for a long time!"

"If it doesn't work out, I'll give her this whip to prevent her from saying we're partial," she said.

Luo Fengtang said: "This whip of yours was given to you by your sworn brother, Master Zuo. He has been with you for nearly ten years. It has come and gone in rain and wind. You should keep it for yourself!"
