    When all the dust settled, the mother and daughter officially left the Cao family.

Mrs. Cao didn't get the reserved money, so she hated the three of them so much. After seeing them put away the contract, she said with a dark face, "Since you want to leave so much, get out of our Cao's house quickly." When Cao E was kicked out by the Xie family back then, he didn't take a single copper coin with him, and you were not allowed to take away even a penny of the Cao family's stitches and threads." Xie Yan sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about it

. We are not interested in the tattered things of your Cao family. The clothes we wear now are all old clothes that we wore back then. Even Gu'er's clothes are remade from the old clothes that Mrs. Hua's house next door didn't want. You have a thread."

After speaking, he took the hands of his mother and younger brother, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked out of the yard.

Seeing the mother and son leaving, there was nothing to see, so they dispersed one after another, but a few people were curious that although they had land now, they hadn't built a house yet. Could it be that they were going to sleep in the wild tonight? Curiosity followed them to have a look.

Xie Yan knows that some people just want to watch their excitement with a gloating mentality, and of course there are some who are sympathetic, but no one dares to say that they should go to their own home for a night, you know, now Cao E mother and son The three of them don't have any money, and even the homestead they live on is bought on credit. If they really open their mouths, what will happen if they are taken advantage of by their family?

What's more, the three of them, the mother and the child, almost each of them had bad luck and each had a life hanging on them. No one would ask for trouble and bring disaster on himself because he couldn't think about it.

Therefore, everyone sympathized with sympathy, but no one said this.

Or there were some people with bad intentions asking for invitations just to take advantage of them, Xie Yan didn't even want to refuse directly.

Now that the homestead has been settled, it is not too late, about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It is not difficult to find some wood nearby to build a straw shed to live in first.

Before crossing over, Xie Yan watched some survival programs in the wilderness. Master De Bei built a temporary shelter, and it was dozens of degrees below zero, so he could sleep well, and now it is the end of autumn and winter , It's a little cold at night, but fortunately there are no mosquitoes, so you can get by after a squeeze.

Tomorrow, I will go up the mountain to dig out the money, and ask three or five men in the village to help build a simple shed, so that I can get through the current period.

Thinking this way, I have a bottom in my heart.

On the other hand, Cao E beside her was in a trance, a little unconvinced that she was free now and didn't need to look at the face of her natal family to act. The despair when he was kicked out, but thinking of the plight of having nothing now, he couldn't help but look bitter.

Xie Yan told her mother the idea of ​​building a simple shelter, and Cao E couldn't help but said, "Why don't we go to the ruined temple at the end of the village and stay overnight?" Xie Yan shook his head and said, "The Earth Temple is far away from here, and it's a bit remote

. If someone harassed us late at night, we might not be able to sleep well. Although there is nothing here on the homestead, the location is good. Uncle Cai's house and Xiucai's house can be seen here at a glance, so it's easy to come if there is any situation. people."

Nowadays, the separation of families only happens, most of them are watched by people's eyes, and some nearby people can see them in the open space.

After hearing her words, Cao E thought for a while and said: "Now that Jin'er has her own opinion, I will listen to you as a mother."

Xie Yuangu also hugged Xie Yan's clothes tightly and said: "I am not afraid of anything when I am with sister. "

Xie Yan smiled, what the family feared the most was that their hearts were not in harmony. They thought that Cao E might shrink back when she encountered the confrontation with the Cao family just now. All trust has been given to her daughter, and she has not lost the chain from beginning to end.

With her mother and younger brother supporting her so much, Xie Yan will naturally try her best to fight for the life of the family in the future.

The three of them walked towards the homestead arm in arm.

When Zhuang Wan came out of Cao's house, she had already seen Xie Yan and the others, and she knew where they went without even thinking about it.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the homestead, the mother and son had already picked up some dry branches from the mountain, and were going to build a simple grass shed around the tree trunk.

Xie Yan was squatting on the ground busy digging a hole and inserting a straw shed bracket, when she saw a small shadow appearing in front of her, she raised her head and saw that it was Zhuang Wan who looked like a book.

She patted the grass clippings on her body and stood up, and said to the people in front of her, "Zhuang Xiucai, thank you very much for today. Whether it's the homestead or the separation of the family, I will definitely repay you with great kindness in the future." Zhuang Wan's

black He stared fixedly at her for two seconds, and then said unhurriedly: "It's okay, I don't need you to repay anything, just treat it as my compensation for Fang Wenbo's affairs."

Xie Yan chuckled lightly He said: "Didn't you already deny the relationship with Fang Wenbo when you were at Cao's house just now, why did you bring it up again now? Could it be that it would be embarrassing to admit that you kindly helped us?"

Zhuang But Wan didn't say anything more about this matter, she just glanced over the thatched shed behind Xie Yan, her pretty brows slightly frowned: "Sleep here at night?

" Influence, more comfortable than Cao's firewood house."

Xie Yan's statement was very much agreed by Xie Yuangu, and he also smiled shyly: "I used to live in my grandmother's firewood house, and people always threw stones into it. , it's so far away from them that they can't throw it away."

Xie Yan couldn't help but feel distressed when she heard her younger brother say that, and now she has replaced the original owner to occupy this body, her brother is her own brother, someone else's child They can grow up carefree, but my younger brother is always in fear. He is five years old, and now he is still thin and small, just like a three-year-old child.

"Don't worry, Gu'er. After my sister earns money, she will build a big courtyard on this land. Those naughty cousins ​​will never come in again."

"Yeah." Xie Yuangu received the promise of his elder sister, and the joy in his heart overflowed his face. Since that high fever, elder sister seems to be omnipotent, and he can make himself full every day. Elder Sister is extremely admired, if the matter is agreed to by her, it will definitely be realized.

Zhuang Wan saw that the siblings were dressed in rags, but their faces were full of smiles, and their white teeth gleamed in the weak sunlight, so they couldn't help but squinted their eyes.

At this time, Cao E came down from the back mountain with a large bundle of dry branches. When she saw Zhuang Wan, she hurriedly thanked her.

Zhuang Wan saw the red mark on her hand that was scratched by the branches, and said: "It's such a rough place, it's so inconvenient to sleep at night, I still have a room at home, you can stay at my house temporarily at night, and these branches are cut If I don't come down, I have some tools at home, so I can take whatever you want."

If it was said that Zhuang Wan helped the three of them out of temporary sympathy, but now that others saw the three of them, they were afraid to avoid them, but she took the initiative to come over To offer help, Xie Yan had to wonder if this female scholar was the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, otherwise how could she be so kind.

She smiled and said: "Now that we have just come out of Cao's house, we don't want to be looked down upon by others, saying that our third son is just a blood-sucking worm who will cling to others. Earlier, you promised to pay the money for the homestead later, which is already the biggest thing." Tolerance, being able to leave the Cao family is already a very happy thing, and sleeping in such a straw hut is extremely comfortable for us." "

But right now we are really poor, and we don't have any tools for felling and leveling. If you can, I'd like to borrow one or two."

Zhuang Wan didn't show any bad expression after being rejected by her, she nodded and said, "So let me get it."

Xie Yan followed with a smile , Xie Yuangu who was on the side said eagerly: "Sister, I want to go too."

Xie Yan waved, and the little boy jumped up and down to follow.

Seeing Xie Yuangu's never-before-seen brisk figure, Cao E behind Cao E's eyes became hot, and he lowered his head and put the wood on the bracket that Xie Yanli had set up.

Granny Yu also went to join in the fun of the separation of the family at Cao's house earlier. At this time, she had just cooked the porridge and was waiting for her granddaughter to come back to eat. Here you come."

Granny Yu was in her sixties, she was always smiling all day long, and she looked very easy to get along with.

The dealer has helped them several times. Compared with the indifferent female scholar, this old woman who is always smiling is much more pleasing to Xie Yan.

She also raised a smile and replied: "Grandma Yu is at home. Mother and I are building a wooden shed. Come here to borrow some handy tools to cut down trees, cut some thatch and build a shed." After speaking, she followed Zhuang Wan to get the tools

.

Yu Po stood up on her knees and said, "Here are the sickle and axe. Grandma will give them to you. Wan'er has always been inattentive and doesn't know where to put the knives." Xie Yan raised her head in astonishment when she heard this

. Zhuang Wan, the female scholar's white face was expressionless, only the edge of her small earlobe was stained with a delicate red at some point.

Xie Yan quickly suppressed the corner of her twitching mouth, coughed lightly, turned around and followed Granny Yu's footsteps.

After getting the tools, Xie Yan was about to take his younger brother out to go back, but the smell of porridge from the stove in the Zhuang guy's house filled the whole yard, and the little boy's stomach rang in a timely manner, which was heard by the little old lady walking in front. Stopped, turned around and said to Xie Yuangu: "Xiaogu'er is hungry, go to drink porridge with mother-in-law."

Xie Yan and the three first came to the dealer to sign the land deed early in the morning, and then went back to deal with the division of the family. He didn't even take a sip of water, Xie Yuangu was a child, and he just kept silent until now.

Xie Yuangu shook his head hurriedly and said: "Gu'er is not hungry, I will go back with my sister first."

After speaking, he ran out of the dealer's yard in front of Xie Yan.

Xie Yan felt sorry for her younger brother, and felt sad because he was so sensible, but poor people have the backbone of poor people, blindly accepting the dealer's kindness, which made her a little uneasy.

Anyway, when fleeing in ancient times, the refugees also survived by digging tree roots and eating wild vegetables. After a while, I will find some wild vegetables to deal with it. When I get up early in the morning, I will go to the mountain to get money and buy some pots and pans. With a few catties of rice back, you can slowly get out of the predicament.

———————————

Cao E saw that Xie Yan was holding two sickles and an axe, while Xie Yuangu who was following behind was carrying a hoe that was taller than his hand. Ninja couldn't help laughing: "It's just that you have to carry a hoe, and you don't know where you will trip."

Xie Yuangu blinked his eyes and said: "Next year, I will be as tall as this hoe."

Cao Cao Chang'e touched his head, took the sickle and said, "I'll go to the mountainside to cut some thatch and come back. I'll tie it to the frame with rattan later, so I don't have to worry about the rain." Xie Yan also took the ax to

follow He said at the back: "I didn't have any knives before, and all I was looking for were dry branches. I'll cut down a few young trees that are young and prop up the small shed. If the wind blows, I won't be afraid of being blown down. I'll wait until I finish it." Find some wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger."

There was no one in the open space, so Xie Yuangu naturally followed him up the mountain.

But it's only halfway up the mountain, just a few steps away. The mother and daughter are agile. In less than half an hour, Cao E cut a large bundle of thatch, and Xie Yan also cut down a few small trees and dragged it in two steps. to the homestead.

Before he got there, he saw a person sitting on the stone next to the small hut. When he got closer, he saw that it was Po Yu.

"Grandma Yu, why are you here?"

"Hey, there's too much porridge. I thought you haven't eaten yet, so I brought some to fill your stomachs." Granny Yu said with a smile.

Sure enough, there was a small pot and three sets of bowls and chopsticks beside her.

With Granny Yu's legs and feet, she might not be able to serve porridge and bowls and chopsticks. It seems that Zhuang Wanding just came with her.

Xie Yan is too lazy to worry about what it means to be a female scholar at this time, but now the Zhuang's behavior of giving charcoal in the snow is enough for her to abandon many doubts. After all, the three of them have nothing to gain from them, so they can lend a helping hand at this time , is really commendable.

Cao E hurriedly put a large bundle of thatch on her back on the ground, and said a little uneasy: "Grandma Yu, the three of us, mother and son, have received a lot of help from you and the scholar before, but now everyone regards us as unknown. It's better to get along with us."

Yu Po was not happy when she heard that: "What's unknown, Cao Wang fell ill a few days ago, and you were born later, what does his death have to do with you, and The ghost of the Fang family was beaten to death by bandits, so what has he got to do with Xiao Jin'er? As for your husband, who says it's not a coincidence? There are good days ahead, let Xiao Jin'er and Xiao Gu'er hear what you said, so don't be too sad." Xie Yan came over

just in time to hear what the little old lady said, and also laughed: "Mother Well, Granny Yu is right, today is the day we move to a new house, and no one will care about us in the future, so don't think about those frustrating things. Since Granny has such a good intention, we have no choice but to accept it with the cheek In the future, when the days get better, I will repay them well."

Yu Po smiled and said: "It's better for Xiao Jin'er to think clearly, and when the days get better, you will not be polite to honor my wife more." The

daughter said so Cao E can't push others' good intentions further, not to mention that Jin'er and Gu'er haven't eaten for a day, and I can survive without eating for a day as an adult. The children are still young, so I can't let them suffer with me .

So he thanked him in a soft voice, and then went forward to open the pot to prepare the porridge.

I just didn't expect that when I opened the lid, there would be a tangy aroma. In addition to the aroma of porridge and rice, there was also the smell of meat. If you look closely, you will find white rice porridge with a few severed bones in the porridge. Cao E's hands trembling slightly after eating some chopped green onions.

You must know that in the Cao family, not to mention the white rice porridge, even the corn porridge is so thin that it can be seen, let alone boiled with bone.

"I was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat, so I buried a few sweet potatoes in the stove this morning. Wan'er said that eating too many sweet potatoes these days made her heart burn, so I brought them over." "

Enough is enough... It's too much." Too much..." Cao E couldn't help but choked up.

Granny Yu could see that she was agitated, so she quickly stood up and said, "I have to go back first, I still have work to do at home, this pot will never be used in the past, and you don't have any pots and pans now, Just take it and use it first, these are the most necessary things at home, and you don't need to return them." With

such kindness, it would be unreasonable to refuse, and these things are definitely not cheap to buy, and now money is everywhere Xie Yan secretly remembered the goodness of this little old lady, and watched her go away.

This small pot looks small, but it has a big belly. The porridge in this small pot can hold more than two bowls per person, which is not much better than the half bowl of porridge in the Cao family, let alone the inside. There are also some bones connected to the meat, the salt is just right, not too delicious.

Xie Yuangu's belly became round after eating, and he lay on the side of the bundle of thatch, touched his bulging belly and said, "I've never eaten so full before."

Cao E also licked the bowl clean Said: "The dealer treated us really well, Jin'er Gu'er, if we really live well in the future, we can't count on their family's great kindness." "Don't worry,

mother, the kindness of dripping water will be a spring According to reports, when the time comes, sister Xiucai will give her whatever she wants."

Xie Yan laughed when she heard her younger brother say this: "At that time, I want you, a clever little ghost, to be a book boy." "

If it is true, then But it's really great." Xie Yuangu couldn't wait.

"Wonderful thinking, who would want you, a little brat who can't do anything?"

Cao E watched the siblings fight so unscrupulously for a while, cleaned up the pots and bowls, and took them to the straw shed I went to wash at a spring not far behind, and when I came back, I started to wrap the thatch with rattan to neatly stack it together, and then spread it on the grass shed.

The firewood house of the Cao family used to be protected from rain in this way. It used to leak frequently, and Cao E made frequent repairs. Now it is also handy, and more than half of the yard was completed in a short time.

Xie Yan neatly tied the yards of thatch to the top of the shelf, and tied the rest around the shed to keep out the wind, and also to hide a little privacy from the probing eyes of others.

Cao E saw that there was not enough thatch and it was still early, so she went up the mountain again with a sickle.

At this time, Cai Chu finished his work and arrived at their homestead. Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter built such a thatched shed in one afternoon. Although it is not exquisite, it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain. When I came, I still had a headache. Whether or not to ask them to go to their own house for a few nights first, but now that they don't have to worry about it now, they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

You must know that the old and the young in your family, although the mother-in-law in the family supports this matter, it is only limited to the aspect of upholding justice. If such a family is really involved, it must be a good feeling for yourself, and if you start this, what is there in the village? He couldn't bear to come to the door early in the morning to help him to the end with difficult things.

Of course Xie Yan knew what the man in front of her was thinking, but she didn't feel surprised. She compared her heart to her heart. If she could really take all three of their mother and daughter back, then she would really be the Holy Mother, and she herself didn't want to be a burden to others. . Seeing that the biggest problem was solved, Cai Chu

became enthusiastic: "Is it okay to live here tonight?"

I need to trouble you for the household registration matter... Uh, it stands to reason that it would be interesting to ask for your help in the past, but we are just out of pocket, and we will definitely return it to you when we make money in the future. I owe it to my uncle for the time being. "

Cai Chu helped her out of duty and enthusiasm, and he didn't expect her to take the few copper coins. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of lifting a finger, and the household registration is also my job. I don't want to mention it for the folks in the village. Those things, see what is missing, and go to my house to get it."

Xie Yan shook her head and said: "I already have a place to live, and Granny Yu brought pots and bowls and porridge, food and lodging have been settled, but I want to get some straw from the field in front of you to make a bed, otherwise the ground will be very cold I'm afraid I won't sleep well at night."

"Just take it, take as much as you want."

It's nothing important, and I thought she could make any request, but it seems that she knows how to advance and retreat, Cai Chu's affection for Xie Yan It is even higher.

"Then, I'll go back first, and if you need help, you can call."

Just as Cai Chu turned to leave, Xie Yan hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Cai, now my homestead is not far from your home." Far away, you can see it on the sun terrace. My mother and my younger brother are the only ones at home. If we don't keep it together, some people who don't have good eyesight will come and harass us. Please, Uncle Cai, take care of us if you have time. Take a look here. Take a look."

"It's okay, I'll tell my second child when I go back, and I'll take a look here from time to time, if anyone has the guts to come over and make trouble, I'll call out for you." Xie Yan was very grateful when he heard

his promise, Thank you again and again.

After her mother cut the thatch and went down the mountain, she also took the rattan to tie straw in Cai Chu's field. Cao E had enough to eat today, and she was full of strength. She felt sorry for her daughter and took Xie Yuangu with her. Back bundled back, I made a big thick bed in the straw shed, and lay on it. If the rough surface and rustling sound were ignored, the soft mattress was quite comfortable.

"It would be perfect if there is a piece of cloth on it, and it won't feel itchy." Xie Yan said regretfully.

"When you go to bed at night, Mother will put coats on you and Gu'er's necks so that it won't itch anymore." Cao E said distressedly.

"It's okay, mother. It's just one night. I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to dig money. I'll just pull some cloth back and put it on the mat. It's fine." After hearing this,

Cao E still couldn't believe that her daughter had hidden a tael of silver on the mountain. Cautiously asked: "Jin'er, can the mushrooms on the mountain really sell for so much money? Why do I feel that I have no idea."

Xie Yan smiled and said: "Mom, you will know when you go up the mountain with me tomorrow.

"

Going to the small thatched shed, looking at the brand-new small shed in front of them, the family of three felt that the home in their hearts began to have an outline.

The roof and the surrounding area of ​​the small thatched hut are tightly covered by thatch, and people outside cannot see the inside. The path in the village is also far away from the land, and passers-by will not be affected. There is one person in the small thatched hut. You don't need to bow your waist when you stand in it. A thick layer of straw is neatly stacked into a rice bed about two meters wide. There are no messy things taking up space inside, which is quite comfortable.

It's just that at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, it's really cold without a quilt. Although the quilt in the woodshed of Cao's house was not thick, there was a cover anyway, but now the conditions are like this, and there is no choice. pass.

It is unrealistic to take a bath under the conditions tonight. The spring at the foot of the mountain behind the three-person house simply washed his face and feet, and then returned to the small hut to rest.

After all, when he came to a new place, no matter how courageous Xie Yan was, he still felt a little uneasy, so the fire outside the small grass shed was extinguished, and small stones were used to surround the fire to prevent the flame from spreading. Then put a few big logs to let it continue to burn. First, it can drive away some small animals. Second, even if someone has evil intentions and wants to do something, seeing the fire in front of the thatched shed will easily reveal his identity and dare not act rashly.

Not long after I lay down, I heard footsteps and conversation outside, from far to near, mixed with the low barking of a puppy.

The mother and daughter sat up quickly, but the sharp-eared Xie Yuangu said happily: "Sister Xiucai must have come, and that dog belongs to their family.

" I couldn't put it down, but because of my timidity, I didn't dare to touch it. Now I heard the puppy barking and sat up excitedly.

Cao E got up and pushed open the simple straw door made in the afternoon. Taking advantage of the firelight outside, she saw the grandparents and grandchildren walking towards them. Granny Yu was holding the torch, and Zhuang Wan was holding a thick quilt in her arms.

Don't think about it, this is another way to warm them up.

The three of them sat up together and got out of the grass shed.

Zhuang Wan also saw the situation inside from the light of the fire outside, it was so simple that it couldn't be more simple, and then looked at the straw on the head and behind the mother and son when they got up in a hurry, their lips were tightly pursed, and walked to Xie Yan stepped forward and handed the quilt to her.

"Here."

Zhuang Wan's seldom-spoken and indifferent appearance, Xie Yan has become familiar with after a few days of contact, but just now when she saw her eyes sweeping over the situation in her thatched shed, she felt a little embarrassed for no reason, but she couldn't allow her to think too much , now the weather is cold, my brother is still young, since there is a quilt delivered to the door, there is no reason to push it out.

Cao E was naturally a man of etiquette, and he couldn't stop thanking Po Yu and Zhuang Wan, while Xie Yuangu and the dog brought by Zhuang Wan were having a great time.

"I've wanted to bring the quilt for a long time. My old lady, I'm not strong enough. A Wan just came back, so I brought it here at this time. I didn't expect you all to lie down." Yu Po smiled. After all, after living for so many years

, What kind of days have I never seen before? The situation was even worse when I was fleeing the famine, and I survived. It's just that in the evening, the granddaughter said that the three of Xie's family didn't want to come and live at home. She couldn't force it, but depending on the weather It was really cold, so the grandparents and grandson hurriedly hugged the two quilts.

"It's dark, and there is nothing to do, so I can only lie down and rest. With this quilt, I will be able to sleep well tonight." Cao E's eyes are full of gratitude. She can't imagine why

people from her natal family treat them Mother and daughter are not as good as pigs and dogs, but outsiders who have nothing to do with each other can do this.

After delivering the quilts, when the grandfather and grandson wanted to go back, Zhuang Wan bent down and put the eight-month-old dog into Xie Yuangu's arms and said, "This is Big Mao, relatively strong, let it accompany you these nights, if Is there any movement, although it is still small, it is vigilant enough, and it is louder."

Just after finishing speaking, the big hair barked in a timely manner, and several people present laughed.

"Thank you, Sister Xiucai, let Da Mao stay with me at night. If it misses its mother during the day, I will take it to your house to let it reunite with its mother." Tong Yan Tong Yu, innocent and cute

.

The corners of Zhuang Wan's mouth hooked slightly, and she hummed and said: "Okay." With

so few words, she couldn't hear any emotion, but it made Xie Yan feel a warm current, which may be the result of her arrival in ancient times. , one of the few people she met who made her feel warm.

Looking at the backs of the grandparents and grandchildren going away in the night, Cao E was filled with emotion, and carried the quilt into the straw shed. When she opened it, she saw a thin blanket sandwiched between them. Pad below.

Xie Yan added some firewood to the fire pit outside and then went into the hut. When she saw this small blanket, she was taken aback and said, "This scholar is cold, but he is a caring person.

" We are so kind, we have to repay them well in the future." Cao E has suffered from bad discrimination and cold violence over the years, and it is rare for someone to treat her better, and she can't wait to take out her heart and lungs.

"I know, mother, you have nagged me several times now, don't worry, we are not ungrateful people."

With this quilt, and the shed is surrounded by thatch, there is no cold wind blowing in. It was much more comfortable and warm than the previous woodshed.

Xie Yuangu slept on the inside, lying on the bed with his puppy in his arms, feeling extremely excited, but fortunately Da Mao was also good, nestled quietly in his arms and let him stroke his fur.

After all, it was a new place, and the mother and son were a little nervous. After all, Xie Yan had seen all kinds of scenes, and she was not as restless as her mother. In the dark, she could vaguely see through the gaps in the grass shed, the Cai family in the distance. There was a faint light of fire on the sun terrace, which should not have existed in the past. It must have been that Cai Chu deliberately lit the torches because he was afraid that it would be dark on their side in mid-winter and someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.

Xie Yan had a thought, turned slightly sideways and pulled thatch to look in the direction of the farmer. Sure enough, there was a lantern hanging under the eaves of the farmer, emitting a faint light.

The corners of Xie Yan's mouth curled up slightly, she put down the straw curtain, gently rested her arms under her head, and gradually fell asleep in a comfortable position.

It wasn't until the morning that Xie Yan was woken up by the voices outside, only then did she realize that it was already broad daylight and she woke up at least an hour later than usual.

Thinking of what he was going to be busy with today, he hurried to the spring to wash up, and prepared to take his mother up the mountain to find wild goods, and dig out the money he earned earlier.

Seeing Xie Yuangu who was having a great time with Da Mao, Xie Yan rolled her eyes and said to her younger brother, "Gu'er, my mother and I are going to go up the mountain to collect medicine today, I'll go see if Granny Yu is free. , you can stay at her house for half a day and wait for us to come back, is that okay?"

Taking such a thin little boy up the mountain, Xie Yan was afraid that he would be distracted to take care of others and miss his work.

When Xie Yuangu heard this, he hesitated and asked: "Would Granny Yu not like Gu'er?"

Xie Yan touched his little head and said, "Our Gu'er is so cute, how could Granny Yu not like it? Did Granny Yu like to touch your head when we met for the first time?"

Xie Yuangu immediately became happy when he heard it: "Then I'll wait at Sister Xiucai's house, Sister, come back soon, I want to eat meat Steamed stuffed bun."

Xie Yan responded repeatedly, and her mother had already roasted the sweet potatoes that Granny Yu brought over yesterday, and they were just warm enough to eat.

After simply filling his stomach, Xie Yan took Xie Yuangu to the dealer's house. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Granny Yu sitting under the eaves choosing vegetables. Seeing the two of them coming, she smiled and said: "Xiao Jin'er and Xiao Gu'er are here, last night Did you sleep well?"

"It was better than sleeping in the firewood house. Grandma's quilt is so warm, Da Mao is also very warm, and Gu'er sleeps well."

The little boy used to be shy and could not see it now. The clear voice and dark eyes are really flattering.

Yu Po beckoned to him, Xie Yuangu trotted over and squatted in front of her, letting Yu Po's old palm stroke the hair on his head, the big dog by the door saw the big hair in his arms, also ran over happily, licked Rubbing the hair on its body, it purred, as if asking where Da Mao went last night.

Xie Yan looked at the scene in front of her very warmly, which explained her intention of coming.

Yu Po was very happy: "In the past, I was bored by myself, and Wan'er didn't like to talk, so I found a dog for me and let it accompany me. Now I have a litter of puppies and there are three of them." Little one, this room is only getting lively, otherwise I will be bored." The

cold faces and bullying he has received over the years have made Xie Yuangu feel the emotions of adults at a young age, and seeing Granny Yu is indeed Liked his appearance, he hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, Gu'er can come to accompany you when stepmother and elder sister are busy." Granny Yu

suddenly smiled from ear to ear: "Good boy, Granny Yu can't wait to see you." You live at your mother-in-law's house, and mother-in-law is going to make you breakfast." "

No need for mother-in-law, I just ate sweet potatoes with my sister, and I'm still full." "

I'll go and get you just sweet potatoes. Boil an egg, look at your child who is as thin as a monkey."

"No way, Gu'er is strong."

...

Xie Yan watched the old and the young happily, and then quietly backed out. Just as she was walking out of the yard, she almost bumped into Zhuang Wan who came back from the outside.

Feeling the faint fragrance coming from the tip of her nose, Xie Yan thought of this woman's help again and again in the past two days, even though the other party still had a cold face, she still raised a smiling face and followed her to say hello: " Zhuang Xiucai is back, and my mother and I went up the mountain to pick up wild goods, leaving Gu'er at home with no one to watch, and bringing him to be with Granny Yu."

Zhuang Wan paused, hummed, and went straight into the house.

Xie Yan was no stranger to her doggy temper, touched her nose and went out.

When I first went out, I remembered that I didn't even have a basket to pick up wild goods in the mountains, so I went back and borrowed two baskets.

When they got home, Cao E had already packed up and closed the "door" of the thatched shed, waiting for her to go back up the mountain together.

The mother and daughter each carried a backpack and walked up the mountain with a sickle.
