After Fu Wei Bo and his wife got off work, they smelled the delicious aroma of food as soon as they opened the door. They looked at each other and smiled. They knew who cooked today's meal just by smelling the food.

Li Xiufen went straight to the kitchen, saw Fu Xiao busy in front of the stove, and came over with a smile to help her.

The food was served, and everyone sitting around the table was excited when they learned her test score. Li Xiufen smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao is really just like your big brother, both are smart kids."

Fu Kai, who was chewing a chicken leg, raised his head and said, "Mom, I'm smart too."

Everyone laughed...

Li Xiufen smiled and touched his head, "Yes, Xiaokai is also a smart kid. When he goes to school, he must get full marks..."

Fu Xiao also smiled and handed him the other chicken leg.

The meal was finished with chatting and laughing.

The last ray of sunset glow in the courtyard faded away and night fell.

We cleaned up the kitchen before it got completely dark and then chatted in the main room for a while.

The light in the room was getting dimmer.

Then everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep.

There is no electricity in the village yet, so we use kerosene lamps and candles for lighting.

But most people are reluctant to use it, and in order to save money, they go to bed early.

Fu Xiao took advantage of the moonlight to return to the room, closed the door, and entered the space.

I took a shower and changed into comfortable home clothes, then collected all the medicinal herbs on the medicine mountain and planted them again.

Another crop of grain has been harvested, and the fruits are still hanging on the trees. After all, there are a lot of them in the warehouse, and she doesn't plan to sell them on the black market. She can't eat all of them, so there's no need to keep collecting them. Just hanging them up there will provide a view.

She prepared several kinds of fruits, made a fruit platter, brought it to the study, and began to read a medical book. This was a book she bought from the mall that contained many difficult and complicated diseases and recorded many comprehensive case reports.

And there are all kinds of treatment methods. Of course, this book cannot be read outside because it is a printed book and it is too advanced. It can only be studied in space.

I read for an hour, drank a glass of milk, and left the space.

The nights in the countryside are always quiet.

It was so quiet that you could hear the chirping of insects, the barking of dogs, and the occasional crowing of chickens outside the window.

The sounds were not loud, but like a lullaby to her.

Lying on the kang, listening to these sounds, I slowly fell asleep.

Beijing City

After dinner, Mu Wanlan went to the study and opened the reply letter from Shanghai.

The more she read, the tighter her brows furrowed. After she finished reading the content of the letter, she picked up the matches on the table and burned the letter to ashes.

He stared at the gray letter with an ambiguous look in his eyes, muttering, "Back home?"

She was very upset at this moment, wondering why she didn't find out the situation of that woman's hometown at that time...

Just because of this one neglect, you let the little girl go back to her hometown?

This child actually has relatives in his hometown...

Anyang County?

There is no one of hers in this place, but she can't just leave it alone.

Although Anyang County is far away from Beijing and the northwest, unexpected events are inevitable.

But it takes time to establish your own people in an unfamiliar place.

She couldn't take any risks, and couldn't make any big moves. If the Mu family found out, it would be over. If she did it secretly, she was afraid of accidents. It seemed that she couldn't be soft-hearted.

It has not been easy for her to get to where she is now, so she cannot throw away all her efforts because of this child.

Now that the child is no longer under her control, she can only make this person disappear. After thinking about it again and again, she still feels that she cannot keep this threat.

Her eyes suddenly became gloomy and fierce.

Once you have made up your mind, you need to find the right person to do it.

Mu Wanlan pondered over and over again, her face gloomy and uncertain, her fingers tightly pinching a corner of the desk.

You can't use your own people, you can't have any connection with them...

This night is a sleepless night for many people.

As I tossed and turned, I made so many calculations.

......

Day 2

The breeze is gentle and the sun is shining brightly.

Fu Xiao leisurely came up the mountain carrying a backpack, while Fu Kai and Xiao Yuer followed behind him with their short legs.

When I came to a place where there was dense pig grass, I squatted down and started cutting the grass. After a while, when the backpack was full, I picked some tender wild vegetables, mainly noodles and purslane.

The weather is too hot, so she plans to make some steamed dishes and wild vegetable buns. Grandpa Fu has been craving for these recently, and she happens to want to eat them too.

The wild vegetables were placed in little Fu Kai’s small backpack, and the pig grass in his backpack was placed in her big backpack.

She walked leisurely down the mountain. This was her only trip in the morning. After handing over the task and saying goodbye to Xiao Yuer, she was ready to go home. At the foot of the mountain, she met the father and son of the Xu family. There were many people at the foot of the mountain. The two did not speak to her, but just nodded to her imperceptibly and left with their heads down.

She glanced at Xu's father's face and it seemed that his injury had healed.

Their faces were no longer as sickly pale as before. It seemed that their uncle had given them a lot of convenience.

I noticed that his leg was still a little lame, but I didn't take it too seriously. In their current situation, it was good enough that they were alive. A disease or disaster was a small matter. It was a good opportunity to do some easier work.
