After getting Mu Qiange's orders, Xiao Yang turned around and ran to the backyard.

Da Yang, who heard the noise, moved his stiff body, a faint smile appeared on his face, stood up and strode into the courtyard.

"Big brother, I'm back."

Xiao Yang stood still in front of Da Yang, looking at his eldest brother with joy in his eyes, when he was panicked and scared, because he still had people in his heart, although he was scared in his heart, he was very well-behaved, not crying or making trouble, which made Liu Cuihua look the other way.

Da Yang picked up Xiao Yang with trembling hands, and there were faint tears in his eyes, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

"Did you get hurt, did they bully you?"

Da Yang said that he was about to lift Xiao Yang's clothes to see what was going on.

Ay! It seems that Brother Da Yang and Sister Qiange have been together for a long time, and even this action and thoughts are average.

"I'm not injured, Sister Qiange has already checked it."

Hearing this, Da Yang's eyes were precipitated with sadness, and even Xiao Yang noticed the difference in Da Yang, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Brother Da Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Da Yang put Xiao Yang down, took his hand, and said softly: "Let's leave here early tomorrow morning!" Brother takes you back to the countryside. ”

"Why, but I don't want to go back?"

Da Yang didn't understand Xiao Yang's feelings for Mu Qiange, but he had already promised the Liu family, so he had to leave.

"Your disappearance this time has caused a lot of trouble for your sister Qiange, we have been here for a long time, this place does not belong to us, my brother will take you back to the countryside."

Xiao Yang's face was full of reluctance, but he had been obedient to the brother in front of him since he was a child, and now even if he had a hundred reluctances in his heart, he couldn't refuse Da Yang's proposal.

"I listen to my brother, but I just want to say goodbye to Sister Qiange, otherwise she will worry about us."

Da Yang admired Xiao Yang's carefulness, but he still shook his head, "I've already told her, so don't mention the matter of our departure to her, otherwise it will make Sister Qiange sad again." ”

Mu Qiange here didn't stop, he sent the master away, and went into the kitchen to boil hot water.

Mu Qiange forced Xiao Yang to scrub his body, and he was not satisfied until his arms were rubbed red. opened the door and poured a basin of water directly on the road, and said something in his mouth: "Splash (break) bad luck,

Splash (break) bad luck. “

He grabbed a handful of rice from the rice bowl and sprinkled it in the middle of the road, and then came back satisfied: "Okay, in the future, everything will go smoothly and safely in our family."

Xiao Yang had already freshened up and changed into a small blue cloth coat, and the whole person looked refreshing, just like the tiredness when he just came back.

Mu Qiange looked at his face, and at this moment, he suddenly understood a profound truth.

Even if she said that she didn't want to care about this little cub anymore, she wanted to live comfortably for the rest of her life. But when it came to the end, her instinct couldn't sit idly by.

"A thousand songs.

”

Da Yang stared at the bruise on her forehead, remembering what Liu said, and felt a pain in his heart.

Qiange is such a proud person, but now because of Xiao Yang, he kowtows and kneels, Da Yang's heart is sour, and finally he has a dumb voice: "Qiange, from Ming'er onwards, you don't have to work so hard."

Mu Qiange was a little surprised, but when he raised his head and looked at Da Yang's distressed gaze, he suddenly understood, trembled his lips, and said a good word for a long time.

This night, like the surface of a lake in spring, on the surface, it looks like it is just a wrinkled pool blown by the wind. In fact, inside, it is already turbulent and secret.

Because of Xiao Yang's safe return home, Mu Qiange was overjoyed, and he didn't notice any other changes. Until noon the next day, I didn't see the two brothers.

Only then did Mu Qiange find that the house was empty.

After searching every corner of the house and not seeing it, she was in a hurry to go out and look for it. As a result, as soon as I went out, I met Aunt Li who was coming on.

She carried a bamboo basket with vegetables she had grown. When he got closer, he raised his hand with a happy face: "Qiange, come and take a look, I brought you some fresh vegetables today."

"Aunt Li is here."

Mu Qiange said an absent-minded greeting, and then missed Aunt Li and walked forward.

Aunt Li's indifferent attitude towards Mu Qiange was a bit confusing to the second monk: "Qiange, what are you doing, seeing you like this, you are so preoccupied?"

"Da Yang and Xiao Yang are gone, and I'm about to go look for them."

"Da Yang left with Xiao Yang, and there is nowhere to go here."

Aunt Li furrowed her brows and looked at him: "Qiange, let me ask you, did you and Da Yang quarrel?"

"There was no quarrel, but something happened in the past few days, but fortunately, everything was resolved."

"And what about last night?"

"Everything was normal last night, and he didn't mention leaving in front of me." Mu Qiange couldn't figure it out: "If you want to say that Da Yang is leaving, you have to inform me!" Otherwise, leave a letter or something? ”

Aunt Li looked at Mu Qiange for a long time before she spit out a sentence:

"Qiange, don't be too anxious, Brother Da Yang may really leave!"

"What!"

The vegetable basket in his hand fell directly to the ground, and he was in a good mood just now to give these fresh vegetables to Mu Qiange, which would worry that the two brothers Da Yang would not be able to take care of it so much.

Country lanes with green grass.

During the day in June, the heat is quite heavy. The sun overhead was dazzling, and I couldn't open it at all. On the side of the road, the people who screamed were as if they had poured oil, and they were very dry.

Aunt Li raised her arm, wiped her sweat, turned her head and said, "Qiange, why don't we find a shady place to rest before leaving."

Mu Qiange had a headscarf wrapped around his head, and glanced at Aunt Li lightly: "I'm anxious, I don't know if I can see Da Yang and Xiao Yang, so I won't rest."

。 ”

Aunt Li knew Mu Qiange's mood, but when she saw her appearance at this time, she was a little distressed: "Qiange, don't be too anxious, Da Yang is not a child anymore, they will take care of themselves."

"Well, let's keep going!"

Fortunately, the town is not far from the village, Dayang's family is poor, and the location of the residence is also partial, leaning against the mountain, although it has been renovated, but there has been no one living for so long, and I don't know how Dayang lived. Mu Qiange drove the ox cart from Zhuangzi all the way and met many villagers. Naturally, there was also a good thing that went to Da Yang's house and told Da Yang about it.

Da Yang was chopping wood in the yard after cleaning up the house, and when he heard that Mu Qiange was coming, his frightened hands were crooked, and the axe fell to the ground.

Xiao Yang, who heard the news, couldn't wait to come out of the house, overjoyed: "Is it really Sister Qiange who is here?" It's so good, I knew that Sister Qiange wouldn't leave us behind. ”

There was only a simple kitchen in the corner of the empty courtyard, and when they came back suddenly, it was empty, even if they wanted to cook a meal for Mu Qiange, there was no food.

Thinking of this, Da Yang patted his head: "Hey, look at my memory, Xiao Yang, your sister Qiange must be hungry when she comes to the countryside, but our family hasn't eaten yet, you go to your aunt in the front yard to borrow two eggs, and then borrow dou rice."

I remembered that except for Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang in this village, everyone else was not a good person. How they bullied Sister Qiange in the first place, Xiao Yang remembered it clearly in his heart.

The corners of Xiao Yang's mouth moved. But seeing that his eldest brother was even happier than grateful, his eldest brother didn't say anything, but the expression on his face said everything. In the end, he bowed his head and walked to the front yard.

If it was said that there was no thing that the whole village had driven them away before, Xiao Yang was still very willing to deal with them. I still remember how many people were in schadenfreude when the two of them returned to the countryside yesterday.

Xiao Yang thought about it and walked in the direction of Aunt Li's house, but unfortunately, no one answered him when he knocked on the door for a long time, "It seems that he is not at home." Xiao Yang shook his head, turned around and walked towards Aunt Zhang's house, Xiao Yang had not yet arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, but was seen by Aunt Du in the courtyard next door.

She was originally good with the Liu family, seeing herself was the same as seeing the enemy, she was originally plump, but now after there is no shortage of food, she is like a soaked white dough, rotting into a ball and slumping on the chair, and the meat flows out of the gap in the back of the chair.

Xiao Yang stepped forward and flattered and squeezed out a smile: "Auntie."

Aunt Du raised her inverted triangular eyes, hurriedly put down the melon seeds in her hand, stood up and took Xiao Yang's hand and said with a smile: "I heard the magpie chirping on the branch early this morning, it turned out that it was really a distinguished guest." Xiao Yang, when did this come about, why don't you know how to say it in advance. ”

After that, looking at the frame covered with cloth in Xiao Yang's hand, he squeezed into one place with a smile on his face: "Come on, come on, what else do you bring." You kid, just be polite, or no one

They all say that your two brothers are well......"

Xiao Yang didn't stop it, the bamboo basket in her hand was snatched by her, and when she lifted the cloth to take a look, the smile on Aunt Du's face suddenly froze there.

Xiao Yang was very embarrassed: "That's the case, auntie, my eldest brother asked me to borrow two eggs from Aunt Zhang." Borrow two more buckets of rice, and wait for the eldest brother to hunt and buy money......"

"I'm still waiting for the hunt to buy money, I'm sorry!"

Aunt Du's thick lips touched up and down, spit out the remaining melon seed skin inside, and scolded with both hands on her waist: "Xiao Yang, you are really promising, I and your eldest brother have been in the city for a few months, but they have eaten and drunk spicy food." In the past, I didn't say that I would help you, you don't know how to be grateful, this will be your two brothers driven out by that Mu Qiange, and now that people are rich, how can they still take a fancy to you two boys who eat rice. ”

Xiao Yang's scolded face was embarrassed, his head twisted, and he lowered his voice: "Auntie, I didn't borrow it from your family, why should you ......."

"Why, I went to live in the city for a few days, and my temper has grown, and you still talk about it after I say a few words." Aunt Du spat at the door: "Who in our village doesn't know that you two brothers eat soft rice, and you can't live in this village anymore, so you can't live in this village, so you are afraid of Mu Qiange, and now people see that your two brothers are useless people, and now they are being kicked out." Useless stuff, it's really bad luck! No wonder I heard the owl screaming at the door early in the morning, mourning star! “

Xiao Yang's tears rolled in his eyes, there was a reason why the two of them came back this time, they didn't want to cause trouble to Sister Qiange, but they didn't expect to be said so ugly by Aunt Du. As soon as he thought of the criticism that the two brothers would face in the future, he longed to go to the east of the village and cast a well.

I was feeling sad when I suddenly heard a crisp voice outside my house in front of me.

"Brother Yang, you are really back, I see that I am worried all the way, I am afraid that I will not be able to find you."

As soon as the words fell, I heard the door open left and right, and Mu Qiange's figure appeared in front of him.

Xiao Yang couldn't care about Aunt Du's filthy words, turned around and ran in the direction of home, and when she got home, Xiao Yang's mouth was open for a long time, she looked at Mu Qiange, and called Sister Qiange with a little weakness.
