Chapter 208

208 Local Specialty

When she returned to the Qin Village, it was just past noon.

It was the end of summer, the time when the summer heat was at its strongest. One could see steam rising from the ground while walking on the road, and the White sun was making one dizzy.

There were still people working in the fields, and some people were hiding in the shade under the trees, waiting for the hottest period of time to pass before going to work in the fields.

Someone had sharp eyes and saw a horse coming from afar. He put his hand over the pergola and looked over for a while, then turned around and shouted to the people behind him, “Everyone, look, Lady Qin is back!”

!!

“Lady Qin is back? Why does she look like a man?”

“That’s right, she was riding a brown horse when she left, but that was just an ordinary horse. Look at that one, it’s so fast that you can’t even see its shadow. How can it be Lady Qin!”

The villagers were discussing animatedly, but they didn’t expect the person to be right in front of them. The person stopped the horse, turned over, and dismounted in one go. Her actions were very clean and neat.

When she stood firmly, everyone could see that it was Mo Ruyue

“It’s really Lady Qin who has returned!”

Everyone looked at Mo Ruyue, then at the horse behind her, and rubbed their eyes hard. Could it be that this Lady Qin had changed horses halfway?

“Lady Qin, your horse looks really beautiful. It’s not inferior to the black one from before. Where did you buy it from?”

One of the villagers asked.

“This is the brown horse I brought back earlier. I didn’t change it.”

Mo Ruyue simply replied. Seeing that the person wanted to continue asking, she took the initiative to say, “Fellow villagers, please rest. I’ll go home first. I still have to leave later.”

As soon as she said this, the people who had a stomach full of questions to ask were embarrassed to open their mouths. After all, Lady Qin had left home for a few days. She had just come back and now she had to leave again. If they continued to talk to her, it would be a bit untactful.

Seeing that Mo Ruyue had led the horse far away, they gathered again to discuss. Of course, the most lively topic was Mo Ruyue’s brown horse.

“It was clearly an ordinary horse when it left. How did it become a good horse when it came back? Could it be that Lady Qin could turn the rotten into the magical, and turn the bad Horse into a good horse?”

In the process of discussion, some people began to have ideas.

If Lady Qin really had that kind of ability, maybe they could go and plead for her help to change their own cattle and horses. Maybe they could sell them for a good price and get a few new cattle and horses back.

Mo Ruyue didn’t know that someone had already set their eyes on her “new ability,” and was only focused on rushing home.

After being away for the past few days, she realized how much she missed her five babies.

She taught them all kinds of mechanism skills to keep fit and trained them to take care of themselves without being affected when she was not at home.

But now, even though she knew that they could take good care of themselves, she still couldn’t let go of them. Perhaps this was what most parents in the world thought.

Although Mo Ruyue did not have her own flesh and blood, she had unconsciously experienced the true psychological activities of a mother after spending time with these babies.

The babies were listening to Du Zhongheng’s lecture in the “classroom” when they suddenly heard the big black horse neighing restlessly in the courtyard.

Sir, I’ll go and take a look. Big black has always been very quiet. There must be a reason why it’s so restless now.

Da Bao took the initiative to go and find out what was going on. After getting permission, he walked out of the “classroom”. He didn’t expect to see Mo Ruyue leading a handsome brown horse into the courtyard.

“Mother, why have you returned?”

Da Bao stood at the door of the “classroom” and asked in a daze.

His words startled Du Zhongheng and the other four babies in the room. When he heard that Lady Qin had returned, Du Zhongheng temporarily ended class in advance and let the babies go out to see their mother.

“Mother, you’re back!”

“I miss you so much, mother!”

“Mother, you’ve finally thought of us.”

“Mother, Tang Tang missed you!”

The four babies swarmed up and surrounded Mo Ruyue. Each of them expressed their longing for her from the bottom of their hearts.

Da Bao, on the other hand, did not say anything. He just silently walked over and took the reins from Mo Ruyue’s hands.

“Mother, is this your new horse? Where did the brown horse go?”

San Bao noticed the horse in Mo Ruyue’s hand. It did not look like the one that his mother had taken away.

“This is the horse. It’s just that it has been following me outside for the past few days and has been tired. However, it has also eaten a lot of good things, so it looks so handsome.”

Mo Ruyue handed the reins to Da Bao and conveniently flicked his head.

“I see that your brothers and sisters are all looking good. You took good care of them. You should be praised.”

“Da Bao wanted to turn his head, but in the end, he couldn’t dodge it. He was struck directly, and his face immediately sank.”

“I’m already an adult, don’t touch my head.”

Mo Ruyue only chuckled when she heard this. She turned around and took a few large packages from the saddle.

“Here, take this. This is the local specialty that mother brought back from Ping Cheng. Take a look and take what you like.”

She was busy dealing with the babies when she heard someone talking to her.

“Lady Qin, it’s been hard on you these few days.”

“Mr. Du, I didn’t have time to talk to you just now. Please don’t take offense.”

Mo Ruyue let the babies bring the gifts to the side to open them while she took a small package to Du Zhongheng’s side and handed it to him.

“This is for me?”

Du Zhongheng looked at the package handed to him and was somewhat flattered.

He didn’t think that Mo Ruyue would actually bring a gift for him, and his mind couldn’t help but wander.

“It’s just some local specialties. I thought that Mr. Du had a hard time teaching and I didn’t know what to bring you, so I just brought some of these back. I hope Mr. Du doesn’t mind.

Mo Ruyue did not notice Du Zhongheng’s strange tone and gaze. Her attention was on the babies. At this time, she also turned to look at the babies who were looking through the gifts. She could not help but smile.

She had always had a calm expression and rarely showed any expression in front of outsiders. Even when she spoke to Du Zhongheng politely, the smile on her face was very faint.

At this moment, Mo Ruyue’s smile deepened as she looked at her babies’ surprised faces. This made her already beautiful face even more like an orchid in full bloom in an empty Valley. She was so beautiful that people couldn’t take their eyes off her.

Du Zhongheng felt his chest tighten, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. Then, it was like a rabbit in his arms, jumping quickly, making his whole body heat up.

He was no longer an unconscious young man, so how could he not know what was wrong with him? It seemed that he was interested in this young widow with outstanding looks and abilities.

Du Zhongheng instantly understood what he was thinking, but not only did he not appear flustered, he was even very excited.
