Chapter 266: Good Luck
The next day, Baoya got up early.
The roosters outside had just crowed three times, and my uncle and aunt had just gotten up to grind beans, but my parents hadn't gotten up yet.
Now that He Chunxiu is pregnant, and since she is still in the early stages of pregnancy and her pregnancy is not obvious yet, she can't sit still and insists on going to the shop in town with Yun Sanlang.
Yun Sanlang couldn't persuade her, so he had to move the time back and go to town an hour later than usual. Of course, he also made it clear to all the old customers.
Baoya got up, put on her clothes, washed up, and checked the small book basket carefully. Then she took the comb and went downstairs to ask her mother to comb her hair.
However, when I got downstairs, I found that my mother was still asleep.
She held the small wooden comb and wondered who else at home could help her comb her hair besides her mother.
Grandma and my second aunt should still be asleep at this time. My eldest aunt and uncle are busy in the newly built small mill at home. My third and fourth sisters are also asleep.
"Baoya, why are you up so early?"
Yun Chenglu's voice came from behind: "It's impossible for the academy to start classes so early? It's only dawn outside."
"Second brother," Baoya called him, "I need to get up early to practice martial arts. Let's go up the mountain together later."
"Okay." Yun Chenglu said.
At this time, Yun Sanlang packed up the ox cart and came in from outside. Seeing Baoya and Yun Chenglu talking in the small hall, he strode over and picked up Baoya.
"Why is our Baoya up so early? Studying doesn't have to be so hard, right?"
Yun Sanlang rubbed her little head as he spoke, "You didn't even comb your hair? Did you come down here to pee?"
Baoya puffed up her cheeks and shook her head: "Daddy, I'm already up. I'm going to go up the mountain with my second brother to practice martial arts later."
Yun Sanlang was surprised: "So hardworking! After the New Year, he really has grown up and knows how to make progress."
Baoya nodded and gave him a lovely smile.
You see, at this time, only men and boys get up, so there is probably no one to comb her little bun.
After jumping down from Yun Sanlang's arms, Bao Ya had already decided to just make do with her hair for now. When she got to Peach Blossom Land, she would ask Brother Xiao Jing if he could style her hair into the same bun that her master had styled for her last time.
It is simple and convenient. She thinks that she must learn this as soon as possible when her master comes back, so that she won’t have to worry about no one to help her comb her hair.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Rongyue walked in with a steaming bowl of red date soy milk and a bowl of fried dough sticks.
"I knew you two would get up early. Luckily I got up early today and made breakfast." Li Rongyue said with a smile.
"Second aunt."
"Second Aunt."
Baoya and Yun Chenglu called her and sat down around the wooden table.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer, second aunt? Look, my mother hasn't woken up yet." Baoya said.
Li Rongyue sat down next to her, took the wooden comb from her hand, and combed her hair naturally.
"Your mother is going to town with your father soon. The journey will be tiring, so she needs to sleep a little longer. I'm home all day, and your grandmother has to help with the cooking. She can't do much work, so she's very idle. She's used to it and wakes up on time."
"Then you can't work too hard. You have to take good care of the little brother in your belly." Baoya said as she took big bites of the fried dough sticks.
Li Rongyue laughed: "If I don't get up early, you won't have breakfast, and no one will comb your hair. Besides, how do you know that Second Aunt is pregnant with a little brother and not a little sister?"
"It's the little brother," Baoya said with certainty, "Second aunt already has two daughters, and I have two sisters, so this must be a little brother!"
"Okay, okay, Second Aunt will borrow your auspicious words."
Hearing these words so early in the morning, Li Rongyue felt relaxed all over.
However, it was strange that before the Chinese New Year, Baoya gave her and her third brother's wife each a small purse she had made herself, saying that it was filled with deer fur, symbolizing many children and good fortune.
She was a peasant woman and didn't understand these things, but she wore it for good luck. Unexpectedly, she got pregnant during the Chinese New Year, and it was the same time as her third brother's wife, so it was a double happiness.
My mother-in-law is not a mean person, nor does she favor boys over girls. If it is a boy, then that would be great, but she would also be happy if it is a girl.
Adding new members to the family is always a happy event.
As I was thinking, Baoya's hair was already combed, with a round little bun. A strand of hair was braided into a small braid on each side and wrapped around the bun, which looked neat and beautiful.
Baoya had finished her breakfast by this time, and together with Yun Chenglu, she said goodbye to Li Rongyue, Yun Sanlang, Yun Dalang and Wang Cailian who were busy at the mill in the yard, and went up the mountain.
Nan Xuan hadn't come back yet, but Jing Zhen actually took me to have breakfast.
Although it was just a simple vegetable porridge and it was burnt, at least it was warm in the mouth.
The lonely king was not affected and could just chew its dried meat.
As soon as he saw Baoya and Yun Chenglu, the King seemed particularly excited and ran around Baoya and Yun Chenglu.
Because it found that no major accidents happened yesterday when it was following the always unlucky little master!
Everything went pretty smoothly except that the heating pot at night just wouldn't light up, and the man and the wolf ended up curled up in bed and freezing all night!
Even when the little master was cooking porridge in the morning, the house didn't burn down. It felt that it had saved a wolf's life invisibly.
Therefore, it was particularly excited to see Yun Chenglu, who had been with it for several days, and Baoya, whom it had not seen for a long time.
Yun Chenglu naturally had no idea what a wolf was thinking, so he reached out and touched the lonely king's head.
He smiled and said, "Not bad. After being kept by me for a few days, he started to kiss me."
Nan Xuan hadn't come back yet, so he put down his things and went to chop wood.
Before Nan Xuan and Jing Zhen went to the capital, they told him to collect fifty bundles of firewood a day.
Chopping wood every morning has now become his habit and a compulsory task.
Yun Chenglu went to chop wood with great agility. Baoya asked Jingzhen, "Little Brother Jing, Master hasn't come back yet. What should we practice?"
Jing Zhen was already very familiar with this situation and said, "Practice basic skills."
So the two of them started with warm-up, practicing all the basic skills that Nan Xuan had taught them before. Finally, Bao Ya even took out the dragon beard noodles and tried them out.
You don’t know how good it is until you practice. After practicing, I suddenly felt that I had neglected practice for a while and my skills became much less skilled.
When the sun rose high in the sky, the three of them sat around the stone table, sweating profusely.
But Jingzhen had to send Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue to the academy in town, while Yun Chenglu continued to practice kung fu on his own.
"It's your first day, do your best." Yun Chenglu patted Baoya's shoulder. "Tell your second brother tomorrow how the teacher praised you."
After the New Year, he had become a lot more stable without realizing it.
"Well, don't worry, second brother!" Baoya agreed crisply, and then went down the mountain with Jingzhen.
The mountain road was winding, Jingzhen held her little hand, and suddenly a faint feeling arose.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been with Baoya for so long that I’ve gained some good fortune.
His bad luck seemed to have eased a lot recently. Even his trip to the capital went quite smoothly. On the way back, he even took the opportunity to speak well of the Rong family in front of the emperor.
