The fragrance of rice flowers heralds a good harvest. It is the autumn harvest season again, and the Liu family courtyard is very lively.
Liu Yuhan took a few children back to Fulai Village for a short stay.
After lunch, the adults sat in the yard, sorting the potatoes and sweet potatoes they had harvested, while a group of children played in the yard.
Huo Anyu and Huo Anran are already six years old, and Huo Anheng and Huo Anjie are three years old. They are at the age of being active. The two of them run behind their cousins. In addition to Liu Yang's children, there are also Liu Guang's children, and Liu Yao's pair of children.
Huo Anyu followed his two younger brothers and cousins ​​helplessly, fearing that they would fall.
Huo Anran sat beside Liu Yuhan, reading a book as if no one was around. Liu Yuhan felt a little helpless. Huo Anran had been very lively as a child, but since last year, she had become more stable and had a particular fondness for reading. She and her brother had inherited Liu Yuhan's photographic memory.
The two of them often discussed the contents and characters in books like little adults, and Liu Yuhan would read them some travel stories and biographies.
"Sister Han, Xiaoyu is really sensible." Old Mrs. Jiang smiled and talked to Liu Yuhan while busy with the work in her hands.
"Well, grandma, this child has been a relief to me since he was young. He really is like a big brother."
"Sister Han, I really envy you." He Qingchuan sighed.
"Xiao Tie is so naughty that even his sister is becoming more and more wild."
"Qingchuan, it's good for them to be like this, lively and vivid." Liu Yuhan said to the worried Qingchuan with a smile.
Xiao Tie inherited his father Liu Yang's strength; he was sturdy and robust, possessing immense strength from a young age. Whenever he returned to the village, he would lead a group of younger villagers to follow him up the mountain to catch birds and down the river to catch fish, a feat impossible to oversee. Liu Daling's legs were nearly broken from running around, and Old Lady Jiang had to intervene to keep them in check.
Because of this incident, many elderly people in the village came to the Liu family to complain. It was really dangerous for such a young child to play by the river.
As a grandfather, Liu Shihu would naturally prepare a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork for his eldest grandson after his mother had taken care of the younger one. After Xiaotie was taken care of by his grandfather, He Qingchuan would have another meal in private.
Xiaotie wasn't afraid of being beaten, didn't hold grudges, and always had a cheerful smile. He wasn't just taller than his peers, but despite his mischievous nature, he was also honest and kind, and very filial to the adults in his family. He was exactly like Liu Yang as a child. Liu Yuhan favored this eldest nephew, always making him some snacks to comfort him.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu Guang rested for an hour at home at noon, and then went to the village school to teach.
After passing the examination for the title of scholar, Liu Guang did not continue to take the exam. His eldest brother was away from home all year round, and Liu Lu, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were all away. There were elderly people at home, so he was willing to stay at home.
He is now a teacher in the village and has married Mr. Zhang's niece through his introduction. Liu Guang and his wife now focus their energy on the school and their family. They have two sons and two daughters.
"Grandma, Mom, Auntie, Sister-in-law, Sister, Jiang Cheng and I are going to the farm to do the final accounts at the end of the month." Liu Yao greeted them.
"Okay. When you come back from the county town, let's see if there's any sea fish for sale. Your sister and sister-in-law love to eat it."
"Okay, grandma."
"Yao'er, are you tired? Can you handle it?" Liu Yuhan asked.
"Sister, it's okay. I can handle it. I'm training a new group of people now, and Jiang Cheng will help too."
"That's good. My brother-in-law is very attentive. You should learn from him."
"I understand, sister. Then you can help look after Xiaoduo and Xiaowei."
"Don't worry, there are so many adults at home." Old Mrs. Jiang replied.
Liu Yao and Liu Guang's classmate Jiang Cheng got married.
Jiang Cheng was an orphan, and the Liu family had bought them a new house at the end of the village. Liu Yao and his wife usually busied themselves with the village workshop and other matters related to the village in Changle County.
Jiang Cheng endured much hardship in his youth, and he possessed a calm, attentive, and independent character. That same year, he and Liu Guang passed the imperial examinations, and upon being invited to Liu Guang's home, he fell in love with the cheerful and lively Liu Yao. Later, he shamelessly visited Liu Guang, even helping him teach at the school and staying at his home for a while.
Liu Yao gradually began to like and accept this young man. Later, the adults decided to settle them down and get married in Fulai Village.
Jiang Cheng cherished his current life and was very grateful to the Liu family. They had been very kind to Liu Yao for five years, and they had a pair of children.
At night, Liu Shinan and his wife returned to their room. Liu Shinan took out a crystal clear pearl bracelet from a small box and put it on his wife.
"Is my wife pretty? I spent years collecting these. Do you like them?"
Liu looked at Liu Shinan's face that was in urgent need of praise, and felt warm and funny in her heart.
"It looks great. I like it very much."
"That's good. Wife, I want..."
"You're old, you should take it easy..."
"How could that be? My wife is so beautiful, and I'm not old. I'm in good health. Wife, how about giving it a try?" Liu Shinan picked up Liu and walked towards the bed...
At the same time, a similar scene unfolded for Liu Shihu and his wife. Liu Shihu, now skilled at handicrafts, crafted a hairpin for his wife using fine black wood, carving her favorite plum blossom on the top.
Li is quite satisfied with his current life. His three children are now married and have their own wonderful families. The Liu family built a small courtyard for Liu Yang and Liu Guang's families in the back of the previously reserved yard.
Li looked at Liu Shihu's silly smile and meekly helped him undress...
She was so lucky in her life. She had wise old people, a husband who treated her well, filial children, and now lovely grandchildren. Those difficult days, those days of fleeing famine, were gone forever. Her life was so good.
