"No, we're leaving." When these women heard that the Fang clan wanted to keep them for dinner, they were a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's been a long time, what's the matter if you stay for a light meal." Fang said.

"Then what's embarrassing, our family is still waiting for me to cook." Everyone said that although they lacked food and clothing, these women still had no time and had a lot to do every day.

"Oh, in that case, then I won't keep you." When Fang Shi heard them say this, he didn't hold back, but said: "I often come to play when I have time, and if I need help, just say that I am still happy to help with some small things that I can do." ”

"I don't need help, but can you lend me some rice?" Finally someone spoke, "You have experienced the days in the countryside before, at this time, it is indeed difficult, speaking of which, I am really not easy to speak." ”

"It's okay, just some rice." Fang's family said to Aunt Han, who was standing aside, "Do we have more rice in our family?" Lend some to this sister-in-law. ”

"Yes, come with me." Aunt Han said.

"Lend me some salt, too." With the first one, everyone is not reserved, borrowing salt from those who borrow salt, borrowing rice from those who borrow rice, during this time, Aunt Han is at home, and she doesn't buy much rice, one person borrows one liter, and it will soon bottom out.

"If you don't have any rice, you can lend them some noodles, and we'll go buy rice tomorrow." When Fang learned of this, he said to Aunt Han.

Liu Man'er just gave her money, and she didn't pay attention to the little money she used to buy rice.

Everyone got rice, flour, oil and salt, and left with a thousand thanks, Fang Shi saw their departure, she was still very happy to be able to help her former friends.

In the evening, Liu Man'er didn't say anything when she learned what the Fang clan had done, she was not the kind of person who would repay her, even if there were many women who had said bad things about her, but those things had passed, and she didn't take them to heart at all, not to mention, all of this now was not a kind of irony for them.

It's all gone, and now that she's debt-free, it's time to fight for a better life.

But before that, I still have to go back to my parents' house first, to be honest, the road to the mountains is really difficult, but this time it will be regarded as a spring outing, after all, she also promised Ye He to take her to her mother's house to see it, this time is just the opportunity, after all, who knows, when will she go back to her parents' house in the future.

After two days, everything in the house was taken care of, and Liu Man'er told Fang that she wanted to go back to her parents' house to have a look, and Fang took out the gift she had prepared early in the morning and asked her to bring it.

Liu Man'er didn't plan to stay at her mother's house, so she didn't bring much things, so she just carried a gift basket on her back, a bow and arrow, and made a strap on her chest, picked up her daughter, and planned to go to her mother's house.

Cao'er hasn't been home for a long time, this time, she also went with her, Ye He wanted to go to the mountains to play before, naturally he wouldn't miss this good opportunity, Ye Tianchen also wanted to go, but Liu Man'er brought Rourou, so she couldn't take him anymore, so she thought about putting him at home.

Hearing that Liu Man'er didn't plan to take him, he cried for a while, and Liu Man'er coaxed him a lot, which made him quiet, but he still looked at Liu Man'er with tears in his eyes.

Liu Man'er has always been unable to take these children, so when she saw his pitiful appearance, even the grass watching from the sidelines couldn't stand it, so she proposed to take him with her, and if he couldn't walk at that time, she would carry him.

Liu Man'er thought about it and agreed, just go, it's rare to go once anyway, just go slower along the way.

"Tianchen, let me tell you, since you want to go with us, you are not allowed to shout tired on the road, and you are not allowed to let people hug you." Liu Man'er said to Ye Tianchen.

"I won't." Ye Tianchen heard that Liu Man'er promised to take him there, so he burst into tears and laughed.

Liu Man'er also smiled helplessly, letting Ye He and Cao'er be optimistic about Ye Tianchen, and the group walked towards the mountain.

At the beginning, everyone was in high spirits, but when they were halfway up the first mountain, they began to pant. ”

"Where?" As soon as they heard that there were rabbits, everyone's enthusiasm was aroused.

Although Liu Man'er also has rabbits at home, after all, rabbits are still different from hares, and it would be great if she could hit a rabbit.

"Ahead, I just saw it run past, let's chase it." Liu Man'er walked forward quickly, and Ye He and Cao'er followed her fingers and ran in front of her at once.

Seeing that they were easily fooled, Liu Man'er was quite proud in her heart, it was really a group of simple children, but she still didn't forget to remind, "Be careful of snakes." ”

This spring is the season of snakes, and if any of these children are bitten by snakes, it will be more than worth the loss.

Of course, the mountain road they walked was often walked, Liu Man'er gave everyone a sachet to prevent these snakes and insects before leaving, snakes are also psychic things, generally do not come to this road, occasionally there are one or two snakes, and they also climb to the side.

However, Liu Man'er was still a little worried, pricked up her ears along the way, paid attention to the movements around her, and listened to the sounds of any small animals by the way, so that they could get a little sweetness before they could continue to move forward.

However, the luck of Liu Man'er and the others today is obviously not very good, until they reached the top of the mountain, they didn't see any small animals, of course, this is also because Liu Man'er didn't search carefully, otherwise, this mountain can always find some.

"Sister-in-law, it's all on the mountain, where is the rabbit?" Ye He and the others were guided all the way to the top of the mountain by Liu Man'er, but they didn't even see a single rabbit hair.

"You guys ran too slow, and the rabbit ran away." Liu Man'er said without blushing and without a beating heart: "Do you think hunting is so easy? I used to go hunting with your eldest brother and chase a rabbit for a long time. ”

"That's too." Ye He nodded, his eyes couldn't hide the look of disappointment.

Liu Man'er said: "Okay, even if you don't find the rabbit, don't be disappointed, just take it as a good place to see the scenery, isn't it great to stand on the top of the mountain and look down?" What's more, we will always encounter some of them later. ”

"Hmm." Ye He heard Liu Man'er say this, although he was still a little disappointed, but he finally felt better in his heart.

Everyone rested on the top of the mountain for a while, Liu Man'er fed the children, and Ye He and the others stood on the top of the mountain to look at the scenery.

After resting enough, I continued to walk forward, and when it was almost noon, I finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, as long as I climbed half the slope again, it was Liu Man'er's mother's house.

Seeing that the time was still early, Liu Man'er also took them seriously to hunt, and caught two rabbits and a muntjac, which was also a good harvest, and seeing that several children were satisfied, she took them forward again.

Maybe it's because of the harvest, everyone forgot that they were tired, talked and laughed all the way, and traveled around the mountains and rivers, and soon came to Liu Man'er's mother's house.

When Liu Man'er and the others entered the village, smoke had already risen on the roofs of many houses in the village, and Ye He was curious about everything in the mountain, "Sister-in-law, we are all mountains all the way here, what do they eat?" ”

"You ask Cao'er about this." Liu Man'er said.

"When we eat sorghum, we will also use sorghum to make wine and sell it outside in exchange for some food." Cao'er pursed her lips and replied, "Sometimes if you are lucky, there will be some other harvests, such as some medicinal herbs, when the farm is not working, we will burn charcoal and sell it when it is cold." ”

"Oh." Ye He nodded, didn't ask more, looked around with big eyes, and concentrated on the scenery in this mountain village.

The edge of the green tree village is closed, the green mountains are oblique outside, all the houses in this small mountain village are covered by trees, from the outside, you can't see that there is a small village here, Ye He followed closely behind Liu Man'er, and kept asking the grass around her, which house is their house.

She pointed to several households in a row, Cao'er shook her head, and in the end, Ye He couldn't guess, so she simply didn't guess.

Some people in the village came back from work, and they all looked at Liu Man'er and the others with curious eyes, although they didn't come back for more than a year, but many people in the village still knew Liu Man'er, but some didn't know Cao'er.

After all, the grass is white and clean now, which is completely different from the timid yellow-haired girl before.

"It's Man'er, are you back to see your father?" Someone greeted Liu Man'er.

"Hmm." Liu Man'er nodded.

"Is this your child?"

"Hmm." Liu Man'er responded casually and said, "I have time to sit at home, I have a child, so I won't tell you more, I'll go back first." ”

"Hey, there you go." This person didn't say much to Liu Man'er, and went home with a hoe on his back, but he just turned his head to look at Liu Man'er from time to time, didn't he say that they owed usury? But now it looks pretty smart.

"Alright, that's my home." Cao'er in the back pointed to a house in front of Ye He to see, Liu Man'er saw that her mother's house was in front of her, and she also stood still a little and calmed down a little, so she hugged Rourou and led Ye Tianchen to her home.

"Giggle...... Dong was feeding the chickens, Liu Man'er stood at the door coldly and called her mother, so shocked that the bamboo bucket in Dong's hand fell to the ground.

"Mother, I'm back to see you." Liu Man'er walked over.

Dong hurriedly put his hand on his clothes and wiped it, and almost ran towards Liu Man'er, she clasped her arms, looked her up and down, and then said with tears in her eyes: "Man'er, it's great that you're okay." ”

"What can I do?" Liu Man'er gave a big smile at Dong.

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang didn't say much, just led Liu Man'er to the house and said, "Come in and sit." ”
