After breakfast, a faint morning light appeared in the east.

At this time, the dripping water turned into ice outside, and the north wind was like an ice knife, cutting people's cheeks and fingers with raw pain.

But the main hall of the Luo family was brightly lit and crowded.

Luo Tiejiang, Wang Cuilian, Tuoba Xian, Yang Huazhong and Sun all came to see Chen'er off.

Yang Ruoqing paid special attention and found that the way the man and woman saw off was really different.

Obviously, getting up so early on such a cold day has the same purpose, all to see Chen'er off.

However, Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong had been sitting together smoking cigarettes, drinking tea, making house calls, and discussing the situation along the way.

For example, there may be frozen soil on the road and the wheels will be a little slippery, so you have to drive slower.

Or maybe the water in the big river leading to the East China Sea should be frozen, and the boat would have to break ice along the way...

And what are the women doing?

Tuoba Xian, Sun, and Wang Cuilian all surrounded Chen'er, giving them instructions. Sun also boiled hot eggs and stuffed them into Chen'er's arms to let him eat if he was hungry on the way.

Tuoba Xian handed Chen'er the bracelet she wore when chanting sutras in front of the Buddha, while Wang Cuilian said auspicious words...

After finally getting on the carriage and saying goodbye to the farewell glances on the roadside behind them, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing drove the carriage to see Chen'er off to the county town.

When they got to the car, Chen'er, who had eaten and drank enough, yawned.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Yang Ruoqing asked with concern.

Because there is a faint shadow under Chen'er's eyes.

Chen'er smiled and said, "Fortunately, I went to bed a little later than usual."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Is it your sister who has been pestering you for most of the night?"

Because she knew her brother was going to the East China Sea, Luo Baobao went to Chen'er's room last night with a quilt and pillow, saying she wanted to talk to her brother Bingzhu Ye.

So Chen'er gave up his bed to his sister and slept until he collapsed.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Chen'er smiled again, with warmth and doting in her eyes: "I like talking to my sister. When she is happy, so am I."

In fact, he didn't dare to say that he not only talked for most of the night last night, but almost the whole night...

Yang Ruoqing nodded and put her arms around Chen'er: "Come, lean on your mother and relax for a while to rest your mind. I'll call you when we get to the county seat."

Chen'er originally wanted to say no, but then she yawned again.

So he followed the words and leaned over.

Mother's body was very warm and soft, and her faint fragrance lingered on his nose.

If Chen'er originally leaned on Yang Ruoqing's shoulder, she just saw Yang Ruoqing's eyes eager to get close to him and couldn't bear to refuse.

But when he really came closer and closed his eyes, an indescribable feeling of intimacy made him feel extremely at ease and comfortable.

Perhaps, this is the smell and warmth from his mother, the homeland where he was born, and the sense of stability that made him feel at ease as a baby.

Unconsciously, his breathing became even and long...

Feeling Chen'er's breathing gradually getting longer on her shoulders, Yang Ruoqing knew that the child was asleep.

Being able to fall asleep so quickly shows that Luo Baobao must have been pestering him and talking all night last night.

Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She gently held Chen'er in her arms and lifted up her big fur-studded cloak to completely cover Chen'er.

Just like an old hen keeping her chicks tightly under her wings...

Listening to the rhythmic sound of the carriage wheels and feeling the rare closeness and warmth between mother and child in the carriage, Yang Ruoqing also closed her eyes and dozed happily...

The carriage drove smoothly on the official road to Wanghai County...

Luo Fengtang, who is driving the carriage, is also very stylish in what he wears.

He was wearing a scarf, gloves, a mask, and a cloak.

He felt like a big black bear spending the winter.

Naturally, Yang Ruoqing forced him to put on all this equipment before going out.

According to his temper, he would just wrap himself up in a big cloak and be done with it. How can he be so squeamish? When he was marching and fighting in cold weather, he was still wearing cold armor, and he was still sweating from the rush.

However, this is not in a military camp, this is at home.

At home, my daughter-in-law will naturally take care of these things, so my daughter-in-law said that I must wear a scarf, mask and gloves, otherwise I will get frostbite.

Okay, then I will listen to my wife, as long as she is happy, so at this moment, the driver of the car only showed a pair of deep and dark eyes.

There was no sound of talking in the car behind him, only the sound of even breathing.

The corners of his mouth raised in a happy arc, and he tried to make the carriage drive as smoothly as possible, so that the two women in the carriage could take a nap comfortably...

"Qing'er, Chen'er, wake up, we're here."

Luo Fengtang's slowed-down voice came from outside the carriage.

Yang Ruoqing and Chen'er both woke up. Chen'er sat up and stretched.

Yang Ruoqing opened the compartment curtain a little and looked outside.

"Ha, we've arrived at the county seat," she said.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and it was obviously noon, the hottest time of the day.

"Chen'er, your father has really chosen the right time to drive the car. He arrived at the county seat when it is the warmest time." Yang Ruoqing said to Chen'er beside her.

Chen'er smiled and nodded, picked up the lukewarm water from the warm water jar on the side, poured a bowl, and handed it to Yang Ruoqing first: "Mom, take a sip to moisten your throat."

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Chen'er happily, took it and took a sip.

Chen'er reached out to the car curtain again and asked Luo Fengtang to take a sip as well.

Luo Fengtang said: "You can drink, dad is not thirsty."

Chen'er took it back and sat aside to drink water politely.

Luo Fengtang stopped the carriage on the side of the road and turned to ask Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, should we go directly to the dock to send Chen'er on board? Or should we go to Brother Xu's house for lunch before leaving?"

Yang Ruoqing cast her gaze on Chen'er: "Son, you decide. If you are hungry, we will go to your Uncle Xu's house for lunch and then board the boat in the afternoon."

Chen'er thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I want to return home as fast as I can, and I don't want to delay it any longer."

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and touched Chen'er's head, smiling gently: "Okay."

He turned to Luo Fengtang and said, "Let's send our son directly to the dock. Several of his secret guards are already waiting on the boat. Tea, food and other supplies must have been prepared."

Luo Fengtang said "OK", waved his riding whip and set off again.

pier.

Although it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people are busy visiting relatives and friends, and the dock is much deserted than usual, but the world is difficult, and there are still people who come out to make a living.

Therefore, in addition to the large double-decker merchant ship prepared for Chen'er, there are also some other cargo-carrying ships docked here at the port.

Seeing Luo Fengtang driving his carriage, someone immediately came to meet him.
