Chapter 166
He didn't feel it when he was on the way, but when he finally got home, he slept at home, and when he woke up the next day, Luo Tian only felt his bones ache all over his body.

Fang had already cooked breakfast and told her to get up.

When they went to Beijing, she and Luo Baisu got up at the same time, practiced martial arts with Cheng Qing, and the problem of snoozing was cured long ago. When Fang called her, she got up.

After breakfast, I closed the door and counted the presents.

The main purpose of their return this time is to prepare for Luo Mingdu's marriage. Most of the things they brought here are dowry for Luo Mingdu. There are also two boxes, which are small gadgets for the villagers, not worth much. It's just a wish, I can't go to Shangjing for a trip, just come back empty-handed.

He picked out the gifts prepared for the Luo family, packed them in boxes, and asked Cheng Qing to help them deliver them to the old house.Fang herself took Luo Mingdu and Luo Tiandu to the old house.

They arrived at night yesterday, except for old man Luo who has been guarding the village entrance, no one else in the village knew about it.

Fang's mother and daughter went out, and when a villager saw it, they were surprised and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you back?"

"Yes." Fang answered with a smile.

"When did you come back? There is no news."

"I came back last night. It was too late. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't come to visit you. I will visit you after I meet my parents first."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Your father has been looking forward to your return these days. After finishing his work every day, he is half dead tired, and he still has to wait for you at the entrance of the village. He doesn't listen to anyone."

Luo Tian laughed all the time, now that she is back home, she is in a very good mood, and everyone is very kind.

When we arrived at the Luo family's old house, old man Luo had just come back from the field and was sitting in the yard having breakfast.He knew that Luo Tian was back, and he was definitely going home, so he finished the work in the field early in the morning, and stayed at home when the sun was bright during the day.

Yao shi was drying soybeans in the yard, and there was a fat black boy next to her, hugging her legs and acting coquettishly.

This black boy is the son of Luo Baihan, his nickname is Gouwazi, and his first name is Luo Wenang.Back then when Luo Tiandu went to Beijing, this little kid was still wrapped in diapers and was hugged by Yao Shi. Now he can walk, how time flies.

Luo Tian was happy in her heart, even seeing Yao Shi, who had never been on good terms with her before, didn't affect her good mood. She walked in and shouted: "Grandpa and Grandma, we're here to see you."

Fang also called old man Luo.

Old man Luo hurriedly set aside the bowl, and said happily, "You guys are here? Come in and have a seat." He asked them if they had breakfast, and asked Mrs. Yao to make tea. He was so busy that he didn't know what to say.

Luo Tian hurriedly said that they came after breakfast.

Yao Shi still had that lukewarm expression, and said lightly: "It's already this hour, you treat others like you, why do you still have breakfast." Then he shouted loudly, "Peach Blossom...Peach Blossom... …There are guests at home, so I don’t boil water yet.”

After a while, a dark and thin woman came out, that was Tao Hua, Luo Baihan's daughter-in-law.

Seeing the peach blossoms, Luo Tian was startled.She wasn't close to this second aunt, and she didn't move around very often when she lived in the village, but at that time, the peach blossoms were still very strong. Although they were not beautiful, they still had the vitality of young people. It's a lot of hard work, and after just over a year of absence, Tao Hua has completely changed, making it unrecognizable at all.

Fang was also taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so thin?"

The old man Luo let out an "ah", wiped away his tears, and said, "It's nothing, I had one in my head and then lost it, and I haven't raised it yet!"

"Then have a good birth, don't cause any problems." Fang has given birth to two daughters, so he knows how serious the problem of abortion is.

Yao Shi just "hummed" there, and said: "Isn't all the women in the village come here like this, so why raise them? When I gave birth to Ningning, the blood on my body was not dry, so I went to work in the fields."

Fang took a trip to Beijing, met different people and things, and opened up a lot, and some of her previous thoughts have also changed now.When I used to live in the village, although there were many troubles, they were just some small conflicts in every household. After everyone quarreled and made it clear, they turned around and forgot again. How to live and how to live, just Yao family, quarrels are quarrels, and there is no deep hatred, just annoyance, but Shangjing is different. In such a place, human life is worthless, and any fault may be paid for by life. Now, Yao shi's cynicism is completely ignored by her, and of course she is no longer as sulking as before, making herself half dead.

She just turned her head and smiled at Yao Shi: "Mother has always been diligent and thrifty, we can't compare."

The old man Luo said happily: "You guys have cold pots and cold stoves, and it's not convenient to start a business. You can eat here from now on."

Fang said: "No need, there are all ready-made pots and stoves in the house, so it is convenient to start a business."

Mrs. Yao then said something else: "He is a famous and spicy drinker in Beijing. He came back after seeing the world. How can he think of your stutterer? You are afraid that people will have nothing to eat."

Old man Luo hadn't seen Luo Tiandu and the others for a long time, and he didn't want to cause any further unpleasantness because of Yao Shi's words, so he said, "You guys have lunch here at noon."

Just as he was talking, Luo Baihan also came back.Yesterday he heard old man Luo say that after Fang and the others came back, he gave the wild children in the school half a day off, went to the town early in the morning to get wine, weighed the meat, and limped into the house.

Luo Baihan didn't change much, he was still the same, but he became much more decadent, and he couldn't see the ignorance he used to have.Thinking about it, it is true. He wanted to take the exam and get an official position. Now that he is crippled, he can only stay in the countryside and teach a child who doesn't understand anything to read a few words to make a living. The gap is too great Yes, it will take some time to adjust.

Luo Tiandu then called his second uncle.

Luo Baihan nodded, asked Taohua to bring in the vegetables, sat down on the other side of the table, and asked, "Only you are back? Where's your father?"

Luo Tiandu said: "My father won't come back until August, he can't leave in the yamen."

The word Yamen touched Luo Baihan's mind again, a strange inexplicable emotion appeared on his face, and he said after a long time: "Is your father in the Yamen now?"

The old man Luo also looked concerned, and asked: "Over the past year, how have you been in Shangjing? Are things expensive there? Your second uncle said that even drinking saliva costs money, and sitting at home costs money. This year I also saved some money at home. I didn’t let them use the things you gave me during the Chinese New Year. I kept them there. When you return to Shangjing this time, take them with you. Don’t even think about going home in the future. Bring something, we are at home, we have food and clothing, and it doesn’t cost money.”

Luo Baihan glanced at his father, and scolded: "Your money is not enough to go to Beijing for a meal. Even if they take it, it is useless. You don't even look at what they are wearing in Xiaodu. Yes, there is no need to spend your money."

Old man Luo glared at him, and said, "You Huashengzi, how much money do you have, talk about money."

Luo Tian didn't want to listen to their quarrel as soon as he came back, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "Grandpa, we don't have any money, we still have enough to live on, so don't worry about it, we sent it here, it's because Dad respects you, If you let us take it back again, Dad will be very sad."

Fang also said: "Yes, his father has a salary. Although it is not much, it is enough to support a family."

Old man Luo sighed: "Oh, how do you young people know this? Even if Da Lang is fine now, if you don't worry about it, what will you do in the future? You can't be an official for a lifetime. There are many officials outside. After returning, You have to farm like us to have a bite to eat.”

Luo Tian knows that officials in this era don't have a retirement salary. If you are an official for a day, you will receive a salary for a day. If you stop being an official, you will have nothing. Many important officials in the court live happily Poverty is nothing unusual.

At this time, Cheng Qing had already brought the box in, and Fang said, "His father bought some things, some for you and mother, some for Bai Han and Tao Hua, and some little things for kids."

Old man Luo said they were a waste of money, they lived in the village and didn't use these things.

Luo Baihan said impatiently: "Brother is an official in Beijing, and he hasn't been back for a year. If sister-in-law enters the house empty-handed, she will be a joke. Stop talking and carry your things in."

Luo Tiandu also persuaded: "Grandpa, you are at this age, it's time to enjoy the blessings of your children, so don't worry about these things, and carry your things in first, so as not to make it difficult for outsiders to see."

She knows that country people like to gossip, if people see them carrying things in, those people don't know what it is, they will only think that Luo Baisu made a fortune from being an official in Beijing, and it won't sound good if it spreads.

Old man Luo and Cheng Qing carried the box into the house.Old man Luo wanted to invite Cheng Qing to drink tea, but Cheng Qing just said that something happened at home, delivered the box and went back.

Old man Luo said: "He is Cheng Qing, right? He has a brother who didn't come with him? How dare you come back when no one is with you, your mother? Da Lang really knows how to do things."

"Father asked someone to find a caravan, and we came back with their caravan. The road was very safe. Besides, brother Cheng Sheng is in the army now, and he can't come back without leave." Luo Tiandu explained with a smile, a little I don't think old man Luo is troublesome.

"Oh." Luo old man nodded now, and heard that Cheng Sheng joined the army, and said again, "Cheng Sheng is also an official?"

Luo Tian didn't know much about martial arts, and he didn't know what Cheng Sheng was doing in Xiaoqi Camp, so he said, "I don't know either, maybe."

The old man Luo happily said a few good words in succession, and said: "This kid is also promising, or the big man's daughter-in-law will pick someone. When the snow disaster happened, there were so many victims. Your mother can pick two at random, and you can get out." An official."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think about Luo Baihan again, the smile on his face also faded a bit, he let out an "ah" and stopped talking.
