Chapter 4237 Treasure Chest
"My brother and I were very well-behaved at Uncle Zichuan's house. We didn't make any noise or make any fuss. My brother and Uncle Zichuan played chess while I watched from the sidelines. When I got tired of watching them, I would draw by myself."
While Luo Baobao was speaking, he had already taken off all his shoes and socks, revealing a pair of white and tender feet.
"Uncle Zichuan's family has a lot of calligraphy and painting. I can either draw it myself, or I can copy it based on the painting post that Uncle Zichuan gave me, and then I will comment on it for Uncle Zichuan."
"Uncle Zichuan even praised me for my good painting, and I was rewarded every day!" the little girl said excitedly.
"Oh? What did your Uncle Zichuan reward you for?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.
"Well, sometimes it's food, sometimes it's gadgets." Luo Baobao said.
She took out a round and plump pink pearl about the size of a peanut.
"Here, this is it. It's beautiful. I like it very much!" She handed it to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing took it and took a closer look. She was surprised and looked at Luo Fengtang.
"What's wrong?" Luo Fengtang asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "This kind of pink pearl is very rare. It is the best among pearls."
Luo Fengtang was also shocked, "Zichuan actually awarded such a precious thing to this little girl?"
Before the couple could react, Luo Baobao snatched the pearl back from their hands.
"Father, mother, look at it, you can't take my pearls. These are my prizes. I plan to make them into a bracelet after I have saved ten of them. They will look beautiful when worn!"
Luo Baobao said with a proud look on his face and carefully put away the pink pearl.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and gave Luo Baobao a look: "Girl, who do you think your parents are? Is it possible that we two adults would blackmail a child like you?"
"Besides, what good things have I never seen from your mother? You are such a stingy person!"
Luo Baobao raised the corners of his mouth.
"Why did my mother's eyes widen when she saw my pink pearls just now? Are you saying she's not surprised? You're duplicity, just a little bit..."
She pulled the corners of her mouth with both hands and made a face at Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't laugh or cry.
Luo Fengtang raised his hand and rubbed the top of Luo Baobao's soft hair: "Since this is the reward given to you by your uncle Zichuan, then you must study, draw, and practice calligraphy with your uncle Zichuan more diligently. Do you understand?"
Baby Luo nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely learn from Uncle Zichuan attentively."
Luo Fengtang smiled: "Okay! Then you have to keep the pink pearls that your uncle Zichuan rewarded you with, and don't lose them."
Luo Baobao nodded again: "I have hidden it in my treasure box. There is a small lock on the outside, and I am the only one who has the key."
This treasure box is actually Zuo Junmo’s birthday gift to Luo Baobao last year.
Zuo Junmo is a descendant of the Mo family. He is good at building various mechanisms and weapons, farm tools, and other things closely related to life. He is good at it.
In addition, he is also a genius in business.
It is said that this treasure box was inspired by him after seeing a box carried by a Western businessman to keep his belongings. Then he made some basic adjustments and then customized it for the baby Luo.
On the surface it looks like just an ordinary small wooden box, but the material is extremely sophisticated.
Moreover, there are hidden mechanisms inside, which are very ingenious and mysterious, and are deeply loved by Luo Baobao.
Little girls like to collect some little things and gadgets, maybe a hairpin, maybe a velvet flower picked from the bride's head, maybe a glass ball, or a colorful little shell.
, small conch...
Now, another pink pearl has been added to this treasure chest. Baby Luo feels very rich!
Baby Luo washed his feet and put on clean socks and shoes.
"I'm going to the kitchen to see how your grandma is cooking dinner. Do you want to go with me?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Luo Baobao quickly stood up and said, "I'll go too, I want to listen to mother and grandma talk."
"Okay, let's go together." Yang Ruoqing stretched out her hand to take Luo Baobao's little hand, said hello to Luo Fengtang and went to the backyard kitchen.
Luo Fengtang went to find Chen'er, mainly because he wanted to know if Chen'er had anything going on in the East China Sea, and by the way, he asked Chen'er to come over for dinner.
In the backyard kitchen, Wang Cuilian had almost cooked the dinner. When she saw Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao coming over, she smiled lovingly.
"I was just about to ask your uncle to call you over, but he just happened to be here. Let's eat!" Wang Cuilian said.
Blacksmith Luo was also in the room, putting alcohol cakes into the base of the hot pot on the table.
Since the twelfth lunar month, the food has gone cold before a bowl of tea is ready, so the Luo family cooks a hot pot for every meal.
"Auntie, thank you for your hard work." Yang Ruoqing said with a sincere face.
Wang Cuilian was startled for a moment, then laughed: "What a silly thing to say, cooking is not tiring, let alone cooking for the whole family, I am happy even if I am tired."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and shook Wang Cuilian's hand, smiling gratefully.
"I asked your uncle to send grandma Chen'er's dinner to her house earlier. Grandma Chen'er ate light food. At night, it was a plate of dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs, and a bowl of red bean porridge." Wang Cuilian added.
"Well, my mother-in-law has always been like this. From now on, let us do the work of delivering food and porridge. You are all elders." Yang Ruoqing said again.
"Hey, it's nothing. Our family doesn't care about that. Whoever is more convenient can send it away," she said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded. Tuoba Xian had to stay in bed every winter. She didn't dare to come out after dusk. Sometimes she struggled to come to the canteen for dinner in person. She would catch a cold every ten times and develop thick knee joints.
pain.
So when winter came, everyone told her not to come to the backyard, and they just gave her some food.
"Hey, where are Tangyazi and Chen'er? Why didn't they come over for dinner?" Wang Cuilian asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The father and son are probably talking about something. It's okay. Their food is still warm in the pot. Let's eat it first."
Wang Cuilian said: "No hurry, no hurry, just wait a moment, the bowls and chopsticks haven't been set out yet."
After a while, Luo Fengtang and Chen'er and his son came in one after the other.
Chen'er walked in front and Luo Fengtang followed behind. The distance between father and son was about one meter.
Yang Ruoqing, who was setting the chopsticks and bowls, smiled secretly. The way father and son get along is different from that of father and daughter.
If Luo Fengtang came to the kitchen with Baby Luo, then Baby Luo would definitely be holding his daughter's hand.
What's more, Baby Luo hung on Luo Fengtang's arm like a little monkey and was carried all the way by him.
Yang Ruoqing secretly observed Chen'er's face again, and couldn't see anything strange about her face.
