Chestnut

"It's very troublesome to peel these chestnut balls. Did you peel them?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Luo Baobao shook his head, "I am now the leader of the military camp. I am busy, asking my subordinates to peel him off."

Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Baobao with a smile, "Mom likes chestnuts very much. I will make fried chestnuts with sugar, braised chestnut chicken, or chestnut cake. They are all very good."

Luo Baobao suddenly beamed, "As long as Mom likes it, hehe."

"Baby, it's not cold today, why are you still wearing gloves?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

"Isn't it hot? Take it off?"

"No, no, no," Luo Baobao quickly retracted his hand.

"These black leather gloves are specially made. They look cool. I don't want to take them off!" She hid her hands behind her back.

Not to mention, high ponytail, small blouse, high-waisted bloomers, black leather gloves and black leather boots.

A string of shining silver chains hangs diagonally on the plump and smooth forehead, and a colorful hairband is tied in the high ponytail. This baby Luo is really cool to the extreme!

As he spoke, Hongxiu had already put away the bundle and rolled it out. Luo Baobao let go of Yang Ruoqing and walked over to the kitchen with Hongxiu to find Wang Cuilan and the others.

As for why you didn’t go to Tuoba Xian?

It's very simple. Tuoba Xian had already quietly entered the mountain under the escort of Luo Fengtang and went to Yu'er to reunite with King Wu.

Half a lifetime of wind and rain, half a lifetime of wandering.

Regarding her parents-in-law's ups and downs in life, Yang Ruoqing believed that it was too tortuous and heavy for her to continue to participate. She and Luo Fengtang were only responsible for providing help.

Help them reunite.

"Put the chestnuts in our house first, and then peel the shells and get the meat later in the afternoon." Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang responded, picked up the bag, and walked to his bedroom with Yang Ruoqing. Along the way, he had to talk to Yang Ruoqing about what he had encountered along the way in and out of the mountains.

In the eyes of others, Luo Fengtang is an unsmiling person who is silent and taciturn at all times.

But here with Yang Ruoqing, he is so thoughtful that he can share with her every plant and tree he sees on the road.

The lunch meal is as sumptuous as you want it to be, almost comparable to the Chinese New Year.

After lunch, Hongxiu accompanied Wang Cuilian to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and say some thoughtful words.

Yang Ruoqing divided fifty kilograms of chestnuts in shells into nearly ten portions, keeping one portion at home and giving the rest to relatives and friends at home.

"I will personally deliver the share to Grandma Ga's house. I want to talk to Grandma Grandma Ga," said Luo Baobao.

"Okay, you go."

Yang Huazhong and Sun had not seen Baby Luo for months, and they kept saying that they would be happy to see her later.

Later, Wang Cuilian went to the vegetable garden, and Hongxiu came over to chat with Yang Ruoqing.

Seeing the chestnuts on the table, Hong Xiu had a strange look in his eyes.

"Sister, have you given all these chestnuts to others?" Hongxiu asked suddenly.

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "Yes, my relatives will always give me a bowl of whatever other people cook or eat. It just so happens that this chestnut is big and suitable for all ages, and it was brought back by the baby from the mountains. It's a gift."

It’s just right to share it with them.”

Hong Xiu smiled and said, "Well, that's the truth. Courtesy reciprocates. However, looking at you like this, sister, you probably don't know the origin of this chestnut?"

The smile on Yang Ruoqing's face froze slightly, "What do you mean?"

Hongxiu twisted a chestnut and turned it gently between her fingers, saying softly: "This chestnut was picked from the forest behind our camp. It's not difficult to pick it from the tree. Just hit it with a stick."

.The difficulty is how to peel the chestnut meat out of the fist-sized hedgehog ball."

Yang Ruoqing smiled again, "I grew up in a village, and I know how difficult it is to peel chestnuts. You, just say what you want to say, no need to pave the way."

Hongxiu also curled her lips and raised a chestnut to Yang Ruoqing: "Every piece of chestnut flesh was peeled out by the baby herself. We wanted to help, but she wouldn't let us."

"What?"

"Why don't you let me?" she asked in shock.

Hongxiu said: "She said that this was a Double Ninth Festival gift that she wanted to give to her mother as a filial piety. She said that her mother was an elegant person and did not pay attention to those priceless gifts, so she gave a gift of one.

Sincerely."

"Since she is sincere, she can't pretend to others. She peeled out every chestnut flesh. She took the time to peel it after training, and she peeled it for three whole days!"

Yang Ruoqing sat there, dumbfounded.

Suddenly I thought of the black leather gloves that girl was wearing. I asked her to take them off but she wouldn't. I thought the girl was pretending to be cool.

"Her hands..." Yang Ruoqing murmured.

Hongxiu nodded slightly, "She was poked in more than one place. She was afraid that you would see her and worry her, so she wore gloves on purpose."

It really is so!

Yang Ruoqing pulled the plate with chestnuts in front of her and gently rubbed the chestnuts on the plate with her hands.

Each chestnut is so smooth and round, with clear lines on the hard chestnut shell, and there may be a few soft downs remaining on the top...

She rubbed it over and over again, as if it was the most precious and unique treasure in the world.

Tears gradually blurred his eyes.

She didn't even know when Hongxiu left.

It wasn't until Luo Fengtang came back from outside after delivering chestnuts that he was shocked to see her eyes were red.

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

When he was nervous, the first thing he thought of was whether something was wrong with her big belly.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head and told him about the chestnut.

"Tangyaozi, I lack language skills and cannot describe my mood at this moment."

"Really, none of the gifts I have received in my two lifetimes make me as happy and unhappy as this chestnut."

"Tangyaozi, how about you help me get back all the chestnuts I gave away? Ah?"

Luo Fengtang was also lamenting how sensible Luo Baobao was. When he heard Yang Ruoqing's last words, he couldn't help but laugh again.

"Why do you have the nerve to get something back after you gave it away?"

Yang Ruoqing raised her head: "You're too embarrassed to ask for it, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it, I'll go get it! My daughter pricked her fingers and peeled them off, one by one, just for me!"

She stood up and really walked out.

Luo Fengtang hurriedly went up and hugged her waist, smiling helplessly: "Even if this is the case, I have to send her away, so forget it!"

"It can't be counted. I feel sorry for my daughter, and I'm also annoyed with myself. Why am I so careless and can't find out?" Ever since Chen'er was stolen by Qian and Yang Ruoqing fell into the abyss of self-blame, she has basically been in the past few years.

I have never made myself so upset.

Today, because of these chestnuts, she hated herself again.

Luo Fengtang then comforted Yang Ruoqing: "These chestnuts are not easy to come from, but in the end they are food. We can't eat so many and they will get moldy or spoiled if they are left there. It's a pity."
