Chapter 719 Don’t Be Brave
Fu Yancheng ran along the dirt road in the village, circled Chuxue's home three times before returning to the Liu family.
When he entered the yard, he found that everyone in the family was up and the yard was filled with the aroma of scallion pancakes.
Mother Liu saw him enter the courtyard and said, "Yancheng, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
After saying that, she smiled and called her niece: "Dujuan, don't be shy, this will be your home from now on."
As soon as I saw my niece's face, I knew she didn't get enough rest last night.
Du Juan is also smart: "Don't worry, little aunt, I was just too excited and fell asleep very late last night."
After hearing what she said, Liu's mother felt relieved.
The reason why she got up so early was the same as her niece. Thinking that she finally had news about her elder brother and his family, she was afraid that it was all a dream. Although her elder brother was gone, her niece was still there, and she was a woman with her mother's family.
Du Juan took a deep breath and said, "Aunt, the pancakes you made are so delicious."
Thinking about how she had never had a chance to eat such delicious food when she was with her adoptive mother, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
Before Liu's mother could say anything, she hugged Liu's mother and said, "Aunt, it's great to find you."
As he spoke, he leaned his head on Liu Mu's shoulder.
Chunxiao saw this scene as soon as she entered the kitchen, and she felt unhappy: "Mom, when can we eat? I'm hungry."
Mother Liu had her back to Chunxiao, so she didn't see the expression on her face: "Bring the mixed shredded radish over, and we'll be ready to eat."
Chunxiao saw Dujuan still leaning on her mother and said, "Cousin, come and help too."
When Du Juan heard this, she felt that her cousin did not treat her as an outsider, so she was naturally happy: "Okay."
Maybe it’s because I’m in a good mood because of good things happening to me, the scallion pancakes I made this morning were really delicious.
After everyone sat down at the table, Chuxue took a bite and said, "Mom, this pancake is really delicious this morning."
Mother Liu smiled and took a piece for herself: "It's delicious, eat more."
But Chunxiao said: "If you put this much oil in pancakes on weekdays, they will taste just as good."
Everyone naturally understands what this means.
Dujuan glanced at the pancakes in the bowl, then looked at her cousin sitting opposite her, and her heart felt warm.
I thought to myself: My aunt must have added more oil so that she could eat better. I will definitely be filial to my aunt in the future.
Chuxue glared at Chunxiao and warned her not to say anything nonsense, otherwise she would punish her.
Chunxiao naturally understood her second sister's warning and rolled her eyes at Dujuan where no one else could see. However, she was afraid that her second sister would punish her, so she did not act like a troublemaker again.
The interaction between the two sisters naturally did not escape Fu Yancheng's eyes. He glanced at Chunxiao and felt that this sister-in-law was becoming more and more unpleasant.
After dinner, Chunxiao went out with his schoolbag.
Dujuan was left at home to talk to Liu's mother.
Chu Xue changed into a set of patched clothes and pushed a cart towards the back mountain with Liu's father and Fu Yancheng.
The cart could not go up any further when it reached the foot of the mountain, so they found a place to hide the cart. The three of them walked up the mountain with a shoulder pole, a rope, a machete, and a backpack.
Father Liu turned his head and looked at Fu Yancheng: "Don't be so stubborn."
Fu Yancheng nodded: "I know what's going on."
Teenagers from the outlying villages often came to collect firewood, and the three of them walked towards the inner area while chatting.
After walking for a long distance, Chuxue released his mental power to scan the area, intentionally or unintentionally guiding them in the direction they wanted to go.
Fu Yancheng spotted a dead tree with his sharp eyes: "Xue'er, there is a dead tree ahead."
When villagers go up the mountain to chop firewood, they can chop thorns or the forked branches of big trees, but they cannot chop down a whole tree for firewood, unless it is a dead tree.
