In the end, only Luo Yunyao's mother and daughter made the trip. Although there are only two people, the girl who follows has all kinds of things for daily use, and three carriages can only occupy it.

This Zhuangzi in Luofu is not very big, dozens of families have formed a small village, living in the tenants of the Luo family, the name of the Zhuangzi is called Luojiazhuang, the courtyard of the other courtyard is only the size of the main courtyard in the house, divided into three, there are a few people living in the front yard, Luo Yunyao followed her mother to live in the main house, the backyard is the kitchen and the mother's residence, the girls live in the wing of the east and west, and there are people here to clean up on weekdays, which is also tidy.

The most Luo Yunyao's heart is the lotus pond in front of the courtyard, the lotus pond is an inlet formed by the Baisha River that flows through here, there is an area of about 20 acres, the waterside is reed and cattail, the pond is planted with lotus flowers, there are water chestnuts in the middle of the occasion, the pond is planted with big willow trees, some of the long willow branches have hung down to the water, now is the time when the lotus is in full bloom, as long as there is a breeze, the whole Zhuangzi is lotus.

Luo Yunyao came to Zhuangzi, and temporarily put down her worries, in addition to reading and practicing calligraphy every day, she took pearl jade to play, and Mrs. Luo did not restrain her, watching Luo Yunyao play happily, and she was also happy.

In her previous life, Mrs. Luo was not in good health and didn't go out much, Luo Yunyao only followed her mother to Zhuangzi when she was a child, and she didn't have any special feelings at that time.

In the morning, Luo Yunyao will take pearls and jadeite to the lotus pond to pick fresh lotus leaves and lotus canopy to cook porridge for her mother.

After breakfast, taking advantage of the cool weather, Luo Yunyao often took pearls and jadeite to the field to pick some fresh vegetables and fruits, and waited for the sun to rise, before returning home to read or write, and in the afternoon when the sun was westerly, he would take pearls and jadeite out, or to the lotus pond, or to the hillside outside the village.

Luo Yunyao liked the small hillside outside the village very much, and often took pearls and jadeites to play.

The hillside was very gentle, and a few little shepherd boys wore short shirts and wide-legged pants and walked over on the back of the ox, looking at Luo Yunyao and Pearl Jade curiously.

They are all children of Luojiazhuang, and they also know from the mouths of adults that the girls of Luofu have come to live in Zhuangzi, although they are curious, they do not come over, but they only untie the reins of the cow, and several people get together to play games, from time to time to let out crisp laughter, and occasionally chase each other. The cows didn't run around, but only gnawed on the grass on the hillside.

The shepherd boys are tired of playing, so they lie on the grass randomly, with a piece of grass in their mouths, looking at the white clouds in the sky, or blowing a willow flute, the flute is very monotonous, but with the happiness that emanates from the bottom of her heart, Luo Yunyao often holds her knees while watching and listening, listening to it fascinatingly, her mind is empty, she doesn't think about anything, she just feels that such a plain and simple day is the happiest.

In the evening, the sun sinks in the west, the sky is red, and smoke rises from the village.

The peasants in the field were about to go home with their hoes, some of them chatted a few words in twos and threes, some shouted the names of the children loudly, and the little shepherd boy on the hillside agreed, stood up and patted the blades of grass on his body, put the reins on the neck of the ox, and the old cow with a round belly followed the little master slowly in the direction of the village.

There was a couple passing down the hillside, the husband was carrying a hoe, the woman was holding a bamboo basket, talking in a low voice while walking, the man suddenly stopped, plucked a blade of grass from the woman's hair, and picked a wildflower hairpin from the side of the road and put it on the woman's sideburns, the woman touched the wildflower, smiled and beat the man's arm, the man did not dodge, only 'hehe' laughed, and the two of them laughed and walked away.

"The present world is stable, the years are quiet, that's it!" Luo Yunyao looked at the couple who were walking away enviously, and said softly!

"What did the girl say?" Pearl was lying beside Luo Yunyao when she heard Luo Yunyao's voice and asked.

Luo Yunyao shook her head, "It's nothing!" Looking at the jade who was catching grasshoppers not far away, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I mean, that girl is crazy, we should go home!" ”

Jade ran over with her skirt, a strand of hair on her sideburns was stained with sweat on her face, and she stretched out her hand like a treasure, "Look, I caught it!" ”

Pearl didn't care to look at the grasshopper caught by Jadeite, pointed to Jadeite's skirt and said, "I'm going to die, look at your skirt!" ”

Jade was startled by the pearl, and hurriedly looked down at her skirt, only to see that there were a lot of blue ears hanging on the skirt at some point, and the blue ears were born with sharp barbs, which were firmly hung on the embroidery of the skirt, and Jade couldn't help but have a bitter face, "When did this happen, it wasn't there just now!" ”

Jade didn't care about the grasshoppers she caught, and carefully picked the ears from the skirt, the small thorns of the ears had hooked the embroidery thread, although the jade was careful, the embroidery on the skirt was still broken.

Luo Yunyao and Pearl both laughed, looking at Jadeite's bitter face, they had to reluctantly hold back and come over to help Jadeite, Luo Yunyao felt funny while picking, looking at Pearl was also trying to endure it, the two of them looked at each other, and finally couldn't hold back their laughter, Jade looked at the two people, and couldn't help laughing, the three of them didn't pick their ears anymore, they only laughed on the hillside.

Luo Yunyao's favorite thing is to accompany her mother to cool off at night, sometimes Mrs. Luo will talk about some things when she was a child, sometimes Luo Yunyao will recite poems to her mother, and sometimes the mother and daughter don't say anything, just sit quietly.

After dinner this day, Luo Yunyao accompanied Mrs. Luo to sit under the porch to enjoy the coolness, lit wormwood next to her to repel mosquitoes, Ruizhu gently shook the fan for Mrs. Luo, today is the full moon, and the silver light pours down, making people feel more quiet.

No one spoke for a while, and then I heard the chirping of insects by the wall, and occasionally there was a cicada screaming, but it stopped abruptly, as if it was interrupted by someone, there was always a frog in the lotus pond, and now it seemed that I had received some quiet order, but I didn't hear a word, Luo Yunyao snuggled her head in front of Mrs. Luo's knee, and only felt so calm in her heart.

"What is Yao'er thinking?" Mrs. Luo stroked Luo Yunyao's hair.

"My daughter just thinks it's good like this, and I really hope that I can live like this with my mother forever."
