Gan's heart is uncertain about the turmoil in the backyard, and Liu Yan doesn't know. The first stop of the group went to Deng Village. Now Deng Ai's living conditions are better, his nutrition has kept up, and he still has books to read. Although they will still help the villagers during the day, the situation with Liu Yan and them before is one in the sky and one in the ground.

With the funding of Liu Yan and Liu Feng, Deng Ai's mother's illness is getting better day by day, and she has moved out of the village chief's house.

As soon as Liu Yan and the others entered the village, they were recognized. Immediately, someone came up to lead the way, led them to Deng Ai's current home, and someone went to report to the village chief. When Deng Ai heard that his benefactor was visiting, he put down his work and rushed home, the benefactor was already chatting with his mother at his home.

Through the exchange between Guò and Deng's mother, Liu Yan and the others figured out that Deng Ai's father was not a local, but originally a scholar, but was excluded by others because of his poor background, and he was exiled to Deng Village, because he happened to be surnamed Deng, and the people here quickly accepted him, so he married a wife and had children here, and became a farmer.

When Deng Ai was two or three years old, his father died of typhoid fever. The situation at home is getting worse and worse. The original collection of books at home has long been sold out, and the Silurian is a fragment of "Liutao".

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Yan appeared. saved Mother Deng and saved Deng Ai, and Mother Deng was deeply grateful for this. While he was talking, Deng Ai came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his benefactor chatting happily with his mother. Come up respectfully and salute.

After a few months, the child has completely changed, his body is clean, his person is strong, and he seems to have grown a little taller. Liu Yan looked at him with a smile: "It's much better than when I came back last time." ”

Deng Ai turned around and bowed to Liu Yan to the end: "Thank you...... Thank you......" Liu Qiao felt a little strange in her heart, and didn't speak for a while. Liu Qiao learned his stutter with a smile: "You, you, what do you take, thank you, thank you, thank my two brothers?"

When Liu Yan heard this, she immediately stopped Liu Qiao: "Don't be rude!" Liu Qiao stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. Liu Yan said apologetically to Mother Deng: "I'm sorry, my sister is small and doesn't know how to be polite, please don't mind." When Mother Deng heard Liu Yan call her Mrs., she immediately shook her hands: "Hey, I can't help it." ”

At this time, Deng Ai spoke: "Little ...... Small...... Boy, may ...... Wish, willing to follow the ...... of dogs and horses It...... Labor. "This kid, the book is not in vain!" Liu Feng smiled: "You are so young, and your mother is not in good health, so forget it!"

Deng Ai raised his eyes to look at Liu Yan, and then at his mother, looking struggling. Mother Deng poured water for several distinguished guests, and said: "Xiao'er was loved by the two sons, given food, clothing and books, and had the grace of re-creation for Ai'er. ”

Liu Yan smiled when she heard this, and said while getting up to thank the tea: "Madame doesn't have to be humble, Madame has a good teaching, Ling Lang will do something in the future, but my brother is right, Ling Lang is still young, and when he leaves home at this time, Madame will inevitably be worried." ”

When Mother Deng heard this, she didn't say anything more, her son was indeed still young, and she couldn't rest assured. However, Liu Yan did not forget the purpose of coming here today, and after a change of voice, she continued: "Actually, we came to visit Madame this time because we asked Madame. ”

Mother Deng immediately bowed: "If the son has any place to use our mother and son, but please command." "We want to take him to Xiangyang with us, and we will be companions. Liu Qiao couldn't stand her sister's grinding and chirping way of talking, so she hurriedly spoke.

Xiao Nizi wanted to go to Xiangyang to play, and her sister said that she would pick up Deng Ai, which took a long time to get the words on the right path, and the little girl couldn't bear to go straight to the point.

Liu Yan glanced at her little sister helplessly, and looked at Mother Deng with inquiring eyes. Liu Feng coughed lightly at this time: "That's the way it is, the three of us brothers and sisters want to visit friends in Xiangyang, and we want to take Ling Lang with us, I don't know what Mrs. wants?"

Liu Feng couldn't figure out why his sister insisted on bringing Deng Ai with her. It was originally a group of children, but now it is even more lively, and there is another child. It's really a problem that he, as a big brother, can manage it.

Deng's mother left the choice to Deng Ai: "What does Ai'er mean?" "Son, son, think, think, want to go." Deng Ai nodded. Liu Qiao smiled: "It's right if you're willing to go!"

Mother Deng said a blessing to Liu Feng: "In this way, Ai'er will trouble the son to take care of it." Liu Feng bowed: "Don't worry, madam, we will be two months at most, and we will turn around in one month at least." ”

The head of Deng Village believed that several distinguished guests were going to Xiangyang, and specially introduced a relative of his family who had been to Xiangyang named Deng Hai to lead the way. The group rested in Deng Village for one night, and the next day officially set off for Xiangyang.

Liu Feng rode a horse, and Deng Ai and Deng Hai drove. Originally, the guards brought out by Liu Feng were on both sides of the carriage. Liu Yan and Liu Qiao sat in the car with Chun'er, a maid in Liu Feng's house.

Taking advantage of Liu Feng's heart, I can't wait to fly to Xiangyang now to see if my teacher is really there. But Liu Yan's mind is not on this.

Until now, she has been thinking about someone, and this person is her mother. Before she went out, she was very nervous, for fear that she and her sister would be stopped after the maid in her house went to inform her mother.

However, nothing happened. When Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief from her mother's indifferent attitude, she couldn't help but think about her mother's thoughts. Thinking about it, I can only judge my judgment before going out. I and my sister are just two rabbits kept by their parents at home, feeding every day, growing up and selling, and they usually don't ask, unless they make it up.

Thinking of this, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and if I really wanted to go to Xiangyang, I wouldn't go back. However, she also knew that it was impossible. You can only take one step at a time. Today's way is much better than in previous lives.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan cheered up, looking forward to this trip to Xiangyang, which would allow her to increase her knowledge, and if she could meet Xu Shu in person, it would be an unexpected joy.

It's been a long time on the road, and I've completely lost the excitement I had when I first went out, and I'm only tired. Liu Yan was better, Liu Qiao was no longer good, groggy, and slept in the car until she got out of the car. In the next few days, I didn't have much energy, and even Deng Ai, who loved to make fun of him, didn't care anymore.

Liu Feng was glad to go out with Deng Ai at this time, the little guy was not at all like a trouble as he had planned, but helped Liu Feng a lot, driving during the day and taking care of the horses at night. Liu Yan didn't deliberately ask Deng Ai to do anything, she let him eat and live with them all the way, without deliberately lifting or belittling, but Deng Ai herself was very clear about her position and honestly did the work of a small girl.
