Chapter 413 Little Ome Playing

Once a thought takes root in a person's heart, it is easy to be distracted by it and fall into it for a long time.

That's exactly what happened to Yao Shu.

From the day she recovered from her illness, the thought of leaving for the Northwest has been haunting her, and she was always thinking about how to go when she was sitting in the bedroom——

Especially in the northwest, how should she find Lin Rong?
During his illness, Yao Shu wrote many letters home to the northwest. If Lin Rong had the chance to read them, he would naturally know her plans; but he never replied...

Yao Shu wanted to go to the Northwest, but he only disclosed it to Asi. For the past two days, the little girl has been closely beside her mother, and no one can pull her away.

"A Si, Brother Teng is here today, don't you want to play with him?"

Ah Si raised his head when he heard the words, looked at his mother, and asked, "Where is Madam going today?"

Seeing her clinging to him like brown candy, Yao Shu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Auntie isn't going anywhere today. I'm just staying at home, how about staying with you?"

As if he breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded and agreed, "Okay."

What Yao Shu didn't know was that Ah Si originally thought that Teng'er's coming today was arranged by Yao Shu, in order to give her a chance to leave.

But when Yao Shu said that she would not go out, the big stone in Ah Si's heart fell to the ground.

After she washed and dressed, she had breakfast with Yao Shu, and then she heard a report from the servants that the people from Jiang's residence were coming soon.

The two children hadn't seen each other for a few days, Ah Si went to the door to meet him, and seeing Teng'er riding a horse today, couldn't help calling him with a smile: "Brother Teng!"

Since the beginning of spring, Teng'er's health has improved a lot, and she doesn't get sick so much anymore, and she doesn't have to rest for a while like before.

He has grown a lot in stature, and now he is riding a docile horse, and he looks like a teenager.

Seeing Ah Si from a distance, Teng'er also smiled: "A Si."

The little girl waited for him to stop in front of her, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you take a carriage?"

He got off his horse, came to Ah Si's side, and said solemnly: "The autumn air is fresh these days, not as hot as summer, so there is no need to take a carriage."

Teng'er wore a royal blue dress today, with a very short hem and tied up sleeves, which seemed to lack the usual meekness and added a bit of sassyness.

Ah Si looked him up and down for a while, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him, and he said: "Brother Teng looks really good-looking, and riding a horse is also good-looking. When I learn how to ride a horse, let's go to the suburban racecourse together, okay?"

Teng'er gave the horse to the servants of Yao's mansion, and the two children went to the mansion side by side, he promised: "My mother also raised a little red horse, if you like, you can come and play at home."

Ah Si's eyes sparkled, and he nodded vigorously: "Great! Then we have a deal?"

Teng'er tilted his head and smiled, "It's decided."

What Teng'er didn't tell Ah Si was that the little red horse he was talking about was originally prepared for Ah Si.

He told Jiang Qi that he wanted to ride a horse, so he asked his mother to prepare two horses, one big and one small.

The more Ah Si thought about it, the happier she was. She didn't think riding a horse was fun before, but seeing Brother Teng on the horse, she couldn't help but want to ride.

The little girl grabbed Teng'er's sleeve and asked in a loud voice: "How big is the little red horse? Is it docile? Can I ride it?"

Teng'er had a good temper and said, "It's a little smaller than what you saw just now, and its temper is also soft. The mother raised it and hasn't been tamed yet. You come to the house some other day, and you will be its master."

Ah Si's eyes widened: "Brother Teng is telling the truth?"

Her eyes are clear and bright, more beautiful than the clearest spring water Teng'er has ever seen.

The boy nodded and said seriously: "Brother Teng won't lie to you. If you like Asi, then the pony will be given to you."

Asi smiled, and two deep dimples appeared on both sides of her white and tender cheeks, which made her hands itch, and it took a lot of effort to restrain her from pressing her fingers on her dimples.

She was not so happy because she got a pony, but because of Teng'er's words——

As long as she likes it, give her the horse...

Ah Si thought, even if brother Teng didn't give her a horse, no matter what he gave her, she would be so happy.

Along the way, the little girl kept holding Teng'er's sleeve, but forgot to let go, and Teng'er didn't remind her, and just let her lead him back to the courtyard.

The sun was not so hot in autumn, Yao Shu was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, reading a book of travel notes.

In front of her was a scented scented tea, and the stone bench was covered with soft cushions, which made her very comfortable.

Seeing the two children walking in side by side, Yao Shu put down the scroll in his hand.

Teng'er approached and said politely, "Aunt Shu."

Yao Shu stared at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Is it because I've been in a trance for the past few days, or what? The vines have grown a lot taller?"

Without waiting for the people around him to speak, Ah Si hurriedly said, "Aniang! Take a closer look, Brother Teng has grown taller—he is even taller than Brother Teng."

One of the favorite things to do as an adult is to tell two children to stand back to back to measure their height, and Yao Shu is no exception.

Then she ordered: "You two stand by comparing each other, and you will know. A few days ago, Ah Sicai and A Zhi were compared. Let me see where you are in Teng'er..."

Ah Si and Teng'er stood obediently, Yao Shu took a look and smiled: "Sure enough, Teng'er is taller. A Si reaches Azhi's eyebrows, but only reaches Teng'er's nose."

Teng'er turned around, grabbed Ah Si's hand, and said to Yao Shu, "I'm older than A Zhi, and it's normal to be taller than him."

Seeing his silly daughter being held by others, Yao Shu smiled and nodded, with a helpless expression on his face, and just let them go.

She said softly, "What are you going to do today?"

Teng'er glanced at Ah Si, as if he was listening to Ah Si.

The little girl tilted her head, looked into Yao Shu's eyes, and asked her, "Ma'am, aren't you going out today?"

Yao Shu clicked on the travel notes on the stone table, and said, "Aniang is not lying to you, I won't go out today."

Ah Si's eyes turned into crescents, nodded and said, "Then Brother Teng and I went to the backyard to catch fish! Didn't Second Aunt raise fish in the pond? Wait for us to catch a few and make soup for Auntie at night."

Yao Shu smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's up to you. But be careful, don't fall into it. It's easy to catch cold when you're wet."

The two children agreed, and Ah Si took Teng'er to the backyard to find someone to ask for fishing nets.

Yao Shu was a little tired today, so he didn't plan to move at all, it happened that the two children were playing by themselves, and she could have a day of leisure, so she picked up the scroll on the table again.

The author of the travel notes is mediocre, but the local customs and customs that can be described are quite interesting.

What the author writes is precisely the Northwest.

Asi and Teng'er took fishing nets, bamboo baskets and other things, and went to the pond.

Seeing her high spirits, Teng'er couldn't help wondering: "Why did Ah Si think of catching fish today?"

The little girl smiled slyly, and said: "Isn't it the second cousin, while he is away today, let's catch all the big fish in the pond, and when he comes back, his nose will be crooked."

Teng'er smiled, took the bamboo basket from Ah Si's hand, and asked her casually, "Did Erlang annoy you again?"

Ah Si pouted and muttered, "Second cousin is very annoying. I'm going to cure his bad temper."

Seeing that Ah Si didn't want to go into details, Teng'er didn't ask any more questions. He just helped her carry the things and walked all the way to the edge of the pond.

The backyard of the Yao Mansion is not that big. This pond is smaller than the lotus pond of the Bai family where boats can be cruised, but it is more than enough to raise fish.

There are some bushes growing on the edge of the pond, which are still lush, and there is another stone paved, which seems to be specially opened for people to step on.

Asi walked over with Teng'er in a familiar way, and then began to arrange the fishing nets.

Teng'er had never done such a thing before, but he didn't want to make the little girl tired, so he took the fishing net from her hand and said, "I'll do what you say, Ah Si."

Ah Si nodded, handed the fishing net to Teng'er, and sat down on a clean stone next to him.

"Brother Teng, you have to unroll the net first, we'll go down to the pond later. If we get entangled, we won't be able to catch any fish..."

Her crisp and sweet voice lingered in Teng'er's ears, like the lukewarm wind in autumn, just right for the coolness.

It is obviously a babble, if other people say it, Teng'er may not even understand a word, but if it is a little girl, it is very enjoyable.

In order to let her say a few more words, Teng'er deliberately wrapped the fishing net in one place. As expected, Asi stood up, walked up to him, and complained softly: "Brother Teng, how clumsy are you! Give it to me quickly, and wrap it up again." If we go down, we won't be able to catch any fish today."

The boy obediently handed over half of the strong net in his hand, and he held the other end, watching Asi's dexterous fingers flutter up and down, and quickly untied the knot he deliberately tied.

Teng'er smiled and said: "A Si is still the best. Smart and dexterous, no wonder you are always better than me when solving Nine Links."

The little girl was very helpful, she took Teng'er's hand and shook it: "Okay! Let's finish the fishing net, put down the fish food and the net later, and wait for the fish to be harvested... But let's talk first Okay, I don't have much strength, I'll have to rely on Brother Teng to pull the net later."

The boy nodded.
