After the Republic of China

On the road to Daluozhuang, the trees on both sides have grown much taller after the summer, with green shade and a cool breeze.

Luo Congbai listened to the whistling wind in his ears, and his eyes were filled with nostalgia.

He listened to Chang Shanchun talking about the difference in beauty between the north and the south, and he agreed.

He would not lie, so he took up the conversation and told the truth directly, "But you love your hometown more than here. I do too. I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery when I traveled all over the country, but I just miss every plant and tree here."

Speaking of the Northeast, Chang Shanchun still feels suffocated when he thinks about it. He took a breath and said: "The situation in Qingdao is not very optimistic. I am really afraid that it will become the second Northeast."

Luo Congbai also had an overall view. After thinking about it, he said: "No, the Japanese have been coveting Jiaozhou Bay for a long time. The warships in the port are proof. Alas, I hope the authorities will pay attention to it."

Chang Shanchun was very impressed that he could say such insightful words.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Chang Shanchun said directly: "Cong Bai, you'd better join the army with me. I guarantee that you will have a good position in Wuhan."

What he said was really not a favoritism.

Firstly, Luo Congbai's skills were excellent, and secondly, it was routine to arrange his own people in the army, nothing unusual. Three, he and Commander Jiang are in such a position, and they also need their own people.

Luo Congbai knew that Chang Shanchun was sincerely pulling him, and sighed: "If I could join the army, I would have joined the army long ago. Aren't there too many brothers who are following me, and I can't let go."

This is correct. Chang Shanchun knew Luo Congbai's profession. These people were the most loyal, least suitable to join the army, and difficult to manage.

Somewhat regretful, but not really disappointed.

Chang Shanchun smiled and said, "Yes, but if you need me in the future, don't be polite. We are our own people."

The words were open enough, and Luo Congbai accepted them unceremoniously.

I walked slowly and leisurely all the way, because the road was close, it didn't take long.

Just like that, everyone in the Luo family saw a group of people arriving suddenly.

Seeing them, the whole family rubbed their hands happily.

Can you stop rubbing your hands? The people in front of me looked like young ladies from wealthy families. Not only that, there was also my own little daughter-in-law among them.

In fact, the Luo family is not a poor and narrow family. There are three rows of courtyards in front and back, all of which are large blue brick houses. From a distance, they still look very spacious and majestic.

Among them, Chang Shanchun and Ling Zhu were very surprised. They really didn't expect the Luo family to be in this situation. The worry about Shao Yunshi has lessened a lot.

They were all considered as one of their own, so they introduced each other to each other without any pretentious politeness.

The Luo family's fenced courtyard is very large, and everyone meets here.

At this time, there are a lot of fruits and vegetables, and it is a good harvest scene.

Luo Congsong is the calmest among the group.

After he got excited, he greeted: "Everyone, hurry up and invite us home. It's still very hot outside right now."

Ximei looked at the vegetables in the garden and could no longer walk.

Her little expression immediately caught the eyes of Sister-in-law Luo, which made her no longer embarrassed and nervous.

With a smile, Sister-in-law Luo said softly: "Ximei, come back and have a rest before you come out to see the garden. Let's go in first."

In fact, Ling Zhu was also greedy, but it was her first time at Luo's house, so she restrained herself somewhat.

Hearing Sister Luo shouting, she pushed Ximei who was in a daze, for fear that because of them, her husband's family would have a problem with calling Xiaomei. Ximei has long since come to her senses. She is familiar with the Luo family and is not embarrassed. She nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, we can make sure you bring me to do the work."

She went to the fields with Nurse Miao and found it fun to pick vegetables and fruits.

Shao Yunshi couldn't bear to look at this girl.

However, everyone relaxed because of Ximei's interruption.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Luo family helped carry the luggage, and Xiao Shitou also ran back and forth with a smile.

Luo Congbai saw his parents holding the boat pole and asked, "Mom, dad, where are you going?"

Uncle Luo directly took the bamboo pole from Aunt Luo's hand and said with a smile: "Oh, we are going to help Brother Zhang transport the lotus roots. Your family is here. I will ask Shitou to say something and I will help later."

Shao Yunshi heard that lotus roots were being dug in her farm, and she became interested. However, looking at the people traveling all the way, she still swallowed her words and just thanked them: "Nanny, are they clearing the lotus pond today? I'm a laborer."

When Uncle Luo and his wife heard what their future daughter-in-law said, they smiled and narrowed their eyes.

Since receiving his son's letter and knowing that they were engaged in Qingdao, Uncle Luo and his wife have been happy for a long time. Now that they saw the real person, they were even more excited.

Aunt Luo, who was particularly happy, said directly: "My family is so polite. Today is not clearing the pond, but just starting to dig lotus roots. Auntie, you don't know that this year the lotus pond in your village has a rich harvest. Restaurants in other places have sent people to place orders.”

"So good? Isn't the lotus pond big?" Shao Yunshi was surprised.

After hearing this, Aunt Luo became excited. She looked at Shao Yunshi with starry eyes and said happily: "Not to mention the lotus root pond, even the vegetables in our house are growing better than in previous years. There are no bug eyes and the water is clear." Yes, the masters in the temple took care of it directly."

Uncle Luo was also delighted with this year's harvest and nodded in praise: "We owe it to Gu Gu this year."

Luo Congbai didn't know about this. As he walked into the house, he asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Ling Zhu and Chang Shanchun also looked at Shao Yunshi who looked calm in surprise.

When Shao Yunshi heard this, she didn't know anything and explained: "It's nothing. It's just that when I prepare medicine, I always have a lot of waste materials and leftovers, so I mixed some farmyard fertilizer."

What she said was calm and gentle, but those who listened were filled with weird thoughts. This talent is really, really——

Uncle Luo is still very discerning. Since the guests are here, he has to serve them quickly.

Then, he hurriedly told his wife, who was smiling with no face at the side, "It's getting late now. Go and make dinner quickly. Oh, boil some water first. The children have to freshen up first."

The Luo family has no servants. Shao Yunshi also did kitchen work in her previous life, so she pulled Ximei and said, "Ximei and I will help together."

Aunt Luo hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's very hot in the kitchen. You don't have to do anything. Hurry up and take the guests to your new yard to rest. I can finish it here in a while."

Although Shao Yunshi was embarrassed by the meaning of Aunt Luo's words, she could not really ask her future mother-in-law to serve them alone, so she still persisted.

Lingzhu and the others didn't want to talk too much. Luo Congbai wanted to tell his wife to rest, but he was embarrassed to be in the way of his parents.

Uncle Luo was much simpler and said directly: "It's just to get some hot water, it's not tiring. Just ask Ximei to stay and start fighting. Mother Shitou will be back in a while."

Mrs. Luo and her wife helped carry the luggage to the backyard.

That's okay. Shao Yunshi saw the tiredness on Ling Zhu's face and couldn't stay any longer, so she nodded in agreement.

Several people were indeed tired. Anyone who had been on the boat for so many days would be tired.
