Xiang Shijie looked at her back and remembered what her mother said before.

I thought I had lost this jade pendant, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by her, is this fate? Since she picked it up, just give it to her, in the future, in the future...... The young man's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide the chaos in his heart, thinking bitterly, what future does he have?

In the past, he would definitely not have paid attention to the daughters of such a small family, but now, he has to rely on them to survive, which is really impermanent.

Now that he is penniless and has no strengths, as long as this Uncle Li is willing to take in their mother and son, so that their mother can live in peace, what else can he ask for.

He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked firmly to carry those items, but Li Yihe, who had been paying attention to him, saw that he was calm and diligent, nodded slightly, and followed his daughter upstairs.

Li Xiaoran knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard a faint sound of "please come in" from inside. She pushed the door in, and the mother had already wiped her face, revealing a gentle and pure face, and saw a young girl come in, guessing that she was the daughter of the family that took in her mother and son, that is, the child who picked up her son Yu Pei.

This child has red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and she can see that her appearance is extraordinary at such a young age, and her brows are slightly wrinkled.

Xiang's mother doesn't like women who are too beautiful, and thinks that such women are all red-faced, just like her own aunt. But this girl's family is their benefactor, and they are ...... with their son It's not easy to do.

Li Xiaoran was also a little surprised by the temperament of this mother, although she was bedridden and sick, she could not hide her gentle temperament, and at first glance she was not a woman from an ordinary family. However, no matter what their identities are, they have nothing to do with themselves, especially when her eyes look at her, although they are soft, they are vaguely scrutinized, which makes Li Xiaoran muttered a little in her heart.

"Have you woken up Auntie, are you feeling better?" She walked to the house and asked generously, "Do you want water?" ”

Xiang's mother was a little surprised, this child's cousin is too angry, not a little childish at all, she smiled and said, "No need, I'm not thirsty." Are you Miss Li? I heard Shijie say, thank you for saving our mother and son. ”

Li Xiaoran smiled: "You're welcome......" Suddenly hearing a cough outside, she smiled at her mother, "Auntie, wait a minute." ”

She turned around and walked out of the room, Li Yihe stood not far outside, beckoning to her, "You go and ask her, if there is a place to go, if there is, we can help them with a few taels ......of silver, if not, he pondered: "Xiang Shijie wants us to take it in, I think, you can lend your Uncle Changliang's house to them temporarily, and if you have a place to live, you can share two acres of land, and the life of their mother and son will be settled." Do you think it's okay? ”

She thought for a moment and said indifferently, "That's a good idea, I'll go ask her." ”

She re-entered the guest room and said straight to the point: "Auntie, do you have a place to go, do you have any relatives and friends to take refuge in?" If so, we can help you find it. ”

Xiangmu's face was slightly dark, her eyes were a little bright, and her voice was gloomy, "We don't have any relatives here, the family has suffered an accident, I ran to the north with the child in a panic, and then I had to come here, I originally wanted to go to the northland, but I didn't expect to faint on the road, and the entanglement was used up, hey......"

After she finished speaking, she saw that Li Xiaoran did not answer, and said with a wry smile: "My son Shijie told me that I want to ask your family to take you in, just have a place to stay." I've thought about it, though I'm too weak to do any crop work, but I'm not bad at embroidering, if you don't dislike it......"

"Aunt, if you have this craft, how good it is to stay in this county, not to mention that you can make a lot of money, but it will definitely be no problem to support you and Brother Xiang. The village where our family lives is very remote, if you come to the county seat, you have to walk for a day, you are used to living in the city, I am afraid you are not used to living! Li Xiaoran felt that it was a trouble for the two of them to get it right, so he temporarily changed his mind.

Xiangmu looked at her in a daze and asked, "How do I know that we live in the city?" We used to live in small towns. "She didn't dare to say that she lived in the countryside, otherwise she wouldn't have done anything and would have leaked the stuffing.

Li Xiaoran's eyes widened, and he said innocently: "I don't know, but there are no people with a bearing like you in our village, but they are very similar to the rich wife I saw in Jinxiufang, so it's easy to guess!" ”

Xiang's mother didn't believe it in her heart, this kid was ghostly, wouldn't he know something? Thinking about it again, she picked up the jade pendant, maybe her family said that the jade was very valuable, so there was this guess!

"Your family lives in a remote village?" She now wants to find a place to live in the middle of nowhere, so that it will not be obtrusive.

Li Xiaoran nodded.

"Can you let me meet your father, we are willing to follow you to the countryside, as long as you give you a place to live, and we will find our own way to eat." Xiangmu directly asked, the jade pendant is worth a lot of money, they shouldn't refuse.

Li Xiaoran sighed slightly in his heart, "I don't need to see my father, we have a relative who has just moved out, and their house can be lent to you temporarily, as for whether you sell embroidery or tenant farming, let's discuss it then!" ”

This is agreed, and the mother smiled and thanked her, "Thank you to your father for me." ”

After the two negotiated, Li Xiaoran took out the jade pendant, "Auntie, this is what I picked up, and Brother Xiang said that it is your family heirloom, so let's keep it with you." ”

She said with a smile, stuffed the jade pendant into the hand of the mother, and smiled mischievously, "Since this jade pendant is a family heirloom, my aunt still put it away, lest I lose it, I can't afford to pay for such a preciousness." ”

Xiang's mother said silently in her heart: "You don't have to pay, you just have to be my daughter-in-law." ”

Li Xiaoran didn't open her eyes, she was just about to say goodbye, but she didn't know that at such an instant, Xiang's mother made a decision, she grabbed her little hand, put the jade pendant into her hand very seriously, and said solemnly: "This jade pendant is yours when you pick it up, without you, we can't find it, without your family, maybe I'll have died on the road, child, you take this jade pendant, and your aunt doesn't say anything to save your life, just as a gift from your aunt." ”

But this is too precious, she still has to excuse herself, Xiang's mother has even held her little hand with a jade pendant in her hand, and said: "The elder can't give away!" ”

Li Xiaoran was stunned, and his eyes lit up.

Oh, who still says this sentence in modern times, she has heard it for more than a year since she arrived here, it seems that this woman is really from everyone's background. Zhuanghu people, or ordinary people, how can anyone be so particular!

"Thank you, aunt, then I'll take it." It's a big deal to pay them back something else, so that they can live, and it can be regarded as repaying this favor.

Xiang's mother smiled implicitly but happily, now the children are still too young, and after a few years of contact, when they are older, it is okay to mention this matter when they feel that they are suitable for each other. She is very confident in her son, he was enlightened at the age of six, if he is not too good, how can he be targeted and framed by those sluts.

Li Xiaoran didn't know that because of a piece of jade pendant, she was labeled as a member of her own family by the mother and son of the Xiang family, of course, this label is buckled arc, after all, she is too young, and it will take another seven or eight years to talk about marriage.

Early the next morning, Xiang's mother drank a few meals of medicine, and her health had improved greatly, she couldn't get into the car, Li Xiaoran and Li Xuesi also got into the car, Li Xuefeng caught the car, Xiang Shijie and Li Xuejian sat on the wheel. Li Yihe drove the donkey cart, which was loaded with a cart full of Lao Gao's goods, and left the county one after the other.

The car was idle and boring, Li Xiaoran and his little brother played with the flower rope, the mother closed her eyes and recuperated, thinking of the benefactor she had just seen, and treating several children with a warm and kind attitude, at this point, these children are much stronger than Jie'er, unlike their own son, who has a wolf-hearted father.

At noon, they ate some snacks in the car, and when they arrived in the town, they did not stop, and went directly back to the village.

After entering the village, many people saw their cart full of goods, and their eyes were full of jealousy, thinking that Li Erlang didn't know what kind of ghost luck he stepped on, and he was connected to pick valuable herbs, and after this year, the number of people entering the mountain increased a lot.

In fact, this is all thanks to the Tian family, she got most of the century-old mountain ginseng, this way back naturally received countless difficult words, she in order to give her son a long face, of course, it was said that her son went up the mountain to pick, so it is more solid that Li Yihe got the protection of the mountain god, and more people are eager to go up the mountain to collect medicine.

Fu Shi stood at the door and welcomed them in, looking at the mother and son who got out of the car and looked at Li Yihe with questioning eyes, "Who are these two?" ”

Li Xuefeng took the first step to explain: "Mother, this is the aunt we rescued on the road and her son Xiang Shijie, they have nowhere to go, so we temporarily lent Uncle Chang's house to them." ”

Xiang's mother was slightly blessed by Fu's family, "The concubine, mother and son, thank you for taking it in." ”

Fu Shi avoided it slightly, and said with a gentle smile: "This sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, come in and sit down!" Then he glanced at his daughter, "Is it that your father bought so many fabrics again, and there are still a lot of them at home the last few times, and you spend money indiscriminately." ”

She let Xiang's mother into the house, and Zhi'er poured tea for her, because she saw Xiang's mother looking at her, she introduced: "This is my distant niece of my mother's family." ”

The mother praised: "This child is so good-looking. ”

Zhi'er smiled shyly, turned around and went out.

Fu and Xiang's mother talked for a while, the two have similar temperaments, they are both gentle and quiet people, and they both know how to read, so the more they talk, the more speculative they become, and after a while, they want to be sisters commensurate.

Fu is a kind person, so naturally he will not ask his mother what difficulties have happened to her family, but just comfort her: "Sister Yang relaxes and lives here, and tomorrow let my husband take my sister to the village chief's house to say that the village chief is a good person and will definitely agree to you stay." After a while, I let the child go to the fire, there is no one living in the past two days, I have to go to the cold, as for the days to come, since my sister can do embroidery, she will definitely be able to support herself, we are here to support the mountains, farming, hunting and collecting medicine, as long as you are willing to endure hardship, you will not starve to death, but it is stronger than in the city. ”R1152
