Chapter 81 I was wrong
Shen Shiren felt complicated as he listened to the discussions of people around him.
At this point, it would be a lie to say I have no regrets. I have worked hard for most of my life, but in the end, not only did I end up in the dust, but even my old mother passed away due to illness.
if,
If I could do it all over again,
He thought that based on his personality, he would probably make the same choice.
The difference is that he will eliminate all hidden dangers and will never let himself fall into the current predicament again.
As for those people...
As long as they knew what was good for them, he might be able to resolve the issue in a relatively gentle way.
While thinking, he did not stop picking up firewood.
He hadn't done something like collecting firewood for a long time, but now he did it quite smoothly.
After picking up a handful, he returned to his resting place.
At this time, Wang Yalan was making a fire to boil water. Seeing the man coming back with a cold face, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin."
Shen Shiren pulled the corner of his lips: "Is it enough? If not, I'll pick up more."
Wang Yalan estimated it and shook her head. "Cousin, sit aside and rest for a while. You'll be fine soon."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shiren sat down aside, watched the woman in front of him arrange the pancakes skillfully, and stepped forward to help.
Wang Yalan was surprised for a moment, and then the smile on her face became more obvious.
She felt that without the dead old woman, she and her cousin seemed to have returned to the past.
Shen Yaoming came over with the washed wild vegetables, and watched the interaction between his parents, with a barely noticeable curl of his lips.
Since their grandmother passed away, they have been separated from the second branch.
No one brought it up, as if there was a tacit understanding, and naturally, everyone took care of their own business.
He could feel his father's pain, but he and his mother both felt that this was for the best.
Without those burdens and with money on hand, their lives would not be too bad once they arrived at the destination, even if they did not spend the money.
Then, I can find a way to contact Jiaojiao, and life will be even better.
Thinking of Shen Jiaojiao, the smile on Shen Yaoming's face was instantly replaced by annoyance. When his plot against Shen Yulian and Captain Zhang failed, he did not dare to act rashly. Now he was getting farther and farther away from Beijing, and his understanding of the situation in the capital was almost zero. He didn't know how she was doing now.
If, as that sickly Lu Mingxiu said, Jiaojiao is also having a hard time now, then wouldn't they be missing a helper?
No, he needs to think about it carefully.
~~~~~~~~~~
After dinner, everyone did not take a short rest as usual, but packed up and started on their way.
Because of the previous experience, Rong Yanhui forced her to take motion sickness medicine before they even set off.
Lu Yao was helpless and couldn't help muttering, this man is becoming more and more nagging.
only,
She looked disgusted, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Rong Yanhui smiled and saw Yaomei put the pill into her mouth. He hurriedly handed her the opened water bag. After she finished drinking it, he took the water bag, plugged the bag mouth, and helped her get into the carriage.
Lu Yao: “…”
She suddenly had the illusion that she was an old woman in her seventies or eighties.
Haohao and Yueyue in another carriage leaned against the window, looking at this side and laughing happily.
Lu Yao glared at the man, who touched his nose and smiled at her ingratiatingly.
Lu Yao: ...Okay, my man is the best no matter what.
The carriage started to move slowly, and the passengers behind followed one after another. They had to find a suitable place to camp before dark.
Considering that strenuous activity right after a meal could easily cause physical discomfort, Lin Hongyang was worried that some people might not be able to bear it, so he instructed them to slow down first, and only sped up after half an hour.
Worried about getting carsick again, Lu Yao did not look out the window for anything useful as usual, nor did she prepare food for dinner. Instead, she leaned against the wall of the car to rest.
"Come to think of it, we haven't had this much leisure time in a long time." Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh.
Rong Yanhui was helpless, thinking that only a silly Yao girl like herself would say that.
Because of her status, she had endured many hardships and grievances after marrying him. Later, she suffered even more hardships in the countryside. Just when life was about to get better, she encountered the Shen family's schemes. She made up her mind not to endure it anymore. Before she could take the next step, the Shen family collapsed, and then she was imprisoned and exiled...
One thing after another, his wife and children suffered so much because of him.
If it were someone else, perhaps their family would have fallen apart long ago, but Yaomei never complained from beginning to end, never left him, and kept comforting and encouraging him.
He must have done something great in his previous life to be able to marry such a good woman like Yaomei in this life.
"You and your child are suffering..."
"Why are you saying that again?"
Rong Yanhui was interrupted by Lu Yao before he could finish his words. "We are husband and wife. Husband and wife are one. We share honor and disgrace. Don't say those nonsense. Do you hear me?"
After saying this, Lu Yao frowned and glared at the man fiercely.
"I was wrong," Rong Yanhui immediately slid to his knees. "Sister Yao, don't be angry. I just feel bad when I think about how you've been with me for so many years and haven't enjoyed any happiness, but have suffered a lot of grievances and hardships."
Lu Yao snorted coldly, pinched him hard, and said fiercely: "So, you have to be twice as nice to me in the future, do you hear me? Otherwise..." She reached out and pinched the man's face, instantly showing the queen's style: "I will punish you according to my family rules!"
Rong Yanhui hugged her waist to prevent her from falling due to bumps and turns, but other than that, he let her do whatever she wanted to him.
The corners of his mouth curled up and his eyes were smiling. Where was his previous seriousness and dullness?
Lu Yao made a fuss for a while, and when she was sure that the man was no longer imagining things, she coughed lightly and sat down again.
The corners of Rong Yanhui's mouth curled up a little more. How could his sister Yao be so cute?
That's when the accident happened.
Perhaps the carriage had reached a bend, and Lu Yao had just sat down when she lost her balance and fell to the side. Rong Yanhui supported himself with one hand on the stool to control his balance, and with the other hand he took her into his arms.
When the carriage was running smoothly, Lu Yao didn't want to be squeezed and uncomfortable, so she moved to the side, but was stopped by Rong Yanhui.
He leaned close to Lu Yao's ear and whispered, "She's already thrown herself into my arms, how can I just let her go?"
Rong Yanhui's voice was low and hoarse, and it penetrated into Lu Yao's ears with heat, making not only her ears but also her heart itch.
She didn't move anymore, but leaned directly into her man's arms, closed her eyes and rested.
Well, it’s much more comfortable with a human cushion.
Rong Yan looked back at Yao Mei's profile with a smile on his lips. Worried that she would feel hot, he picked up the big leaves he had picked specially and fanned her with them.
It was half an hour later when Lu Yao opened her eyes again.
She got up from her man's arms and rubbed her neck with her hand. Her neck felt a little uncomfortable after being in the same position for a long time.
Rong Yanhui raised his hand and massaged her: "Is it here?"
Lu Yao didn't hesitate to accept the man's kindness. She turned sideways, exposing her neck for him to help press: "A little to the left... a little higher... gently, gently..."
It is indeed more comfortable to have a man massage my body than to do it myself.
Lu Yao didn't let Rong Yanhui press any further. She asked him to stop when his neck felt more comfortable.
"Your arm is numb too, right?" It must be uncomfortable for such a big person like me to be pressed for such a long time.
Having said that, Lu Yao didn't wait for the other party to answer and started massaging the other party.
"Are you stupid?" she complained as she spoke of the massage. "You didn't even say a word when it was numb."
This idiot, if I don’t ask, will I just keep enduring like this?
"It's really okay," Rong Yanhui said softly, "You pressed it for me, but I have no strength left."
Even his heart felt even more numb and soft.
After a good sleep, Lu Yao felt much more energetic. She said, "You should take a rest too."
As she said this, she patted her shoulder generously: "I'll give you my shoulder to lean on."
Rong Yan curled his lips back, "Thank you."
After saying that, he leaned on Lu Yao's shoulder seriously.
Feeling the weight on her shoulders, Lu Yao's mouth twitched. It was fine in the short term, but if it lasted for a long time, it would definitely be a burden she couldn't bear. She coughed lightly and asked tentatively, "How about you lie on my lap?"
Rong Yanhui couldn't help but chuckle, raised his head, stretched out his hand and started to slap her head, and only withdrew his hand reluctantly when she protested.
Lu Yao touched her fuzzy head. She could imagine what her head looked like now.
I guess it’s about to become a chicken coop.
Rong Yanhui smiled and tidied everything for her. Then he said, "I took a short nap while you were resting."
This is before the answer.
Lu Yao snorted coldly and said, "Don't be so stubborn," then lifted the car curtain and began to observe the situation outside.
Faced with his wife's little arrogance, Rong Yanhui's smile became more obvious, but in order to prevent Yao Mei from "retaliating", he did not dare to laugh out loud.
He and the others watched for a while, then forcibly pulled their attention back to him: "Rest for a while and then watch again."
"It's okay," Lu Yao said, "I just saw some mulberries."
When she was very young, her grandparents were still alive, and she would go back to her hometown to play every holiday.
At that time, there were still many people in the countryside. Every holiday, a group of children ran around everywhere, having a lot of fun.
She likes to go back in the summer the most, when there are many gifts from nature in the mountains, forests and fields.
Mulberries are one of the wild fruits that she and her friends like.
"Do you want to stop?" Rong Yan asked back.
Lu Yao thought about it and nodded.
Rong Yanhui motioned for her to sit down, then stood up, stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and signaled Meng Hu, who was driving the coach, to stop.
Meng Hu did not hesitate at all. He immediately controlled the horse and found a relatively spacious place to stop.
We stopped here, and Liu Da, who was in front, pulled the reins and turned his horse around and came to the carriage: "But what did you find?"
Being suddenly stopped happens many times every day, and the two have long been accustomed to it.
and,
Every time they stop the car, it means that the Rong couple has discovered useful ingredients or other things.
After Lu Yao and her husband got out of the car, Meng Hu immediately said, "Did Madam find anything? I'll go right away."
Lu Yao immediately told them about her discovery. Liu Da rode his horse quickly to the direction they pointed and brought some back.
Lu Yao took the ones Liu Da picked, picked one up and put it in her mouth. Her eyes sparkled. It was really a taste she hadn't tasted for a long time.
"Everyone will have fruit after dinner tonight," she said happily.
The carriage behind him also slowly stopped at this time.
Haohao, Yueyue and Xiaobao carried Mozhu down from the carriage one by one.
"Daddy, Mommy."
The two little guys ran towards them, and Xiaobao saw them and ran over too.
Haohao and Yueyue had just finished listening to their uncle's story and wanted to share it with their parents as soon as possible, so they ran faster unconsciously. After running a few steps, they remembered what their mother and others had told them before and slowed down again.
They are good children and cannot let their parents and uncle Mozhu worry.
Lu Yao distributed the mulberries in her hand to everyone to taste. Seeing that everyone liked them very much, she immediately assigned the picking tasks.
This place is remote and there are very few people passing by. If they don't pick them, they will just fall into the soil and be wasted, so they perfectly implemented the policy of sweeping them all away.
By the time they had picked all the mulberries from the trees, they had already harvested several boxes of mulberries.
"There's so much, can we finish it?" Chu Xiangning asked.
Lu Yao nodded and gave them a positive answer, "Everyone share some, and I'll use the rest for other purposes."
She suddenly remembered that this was the best raw material for making jam or wine.
After hearing her say this, everyone present suddenly stopped worrying about the mulberries being wasted because they couldn't finish eating them. Instead, they began to regret that there were too few and not enough for Chef Lu Yao to show her talent.
Lu Yao found it funny and asked everyone to get in the car. Maybe they would meet each other again down the road.
