When they brought Old Master Mo back in the afternoon, everyone else was busy outside and naturally didn't know that Old Master Mo had been brought over by Gu An'an.
“My little benefactor, please don’t come here unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Although the women who came later had their former beauty worn away by life in the countryside, they still retained their spirit.
"Uncle Yu, Aunt Yu, Uncle, is your leg feeling any better?"
The couple nodded quickly, "Much better, much better. After using the medicinal wine you gave me, my leg feels much better."
The couple had suffered a lot before coming to Xiaowang Village. Although the villagers treated them well after they arrived, they still had to do the work they were supposed to do, and their injured leg was not feeling so good anymore.
That day, the couple went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables like the villagers, but their old injury flared up again, and they were in so much pain that they couldn't even walk, let alone bring back the wild vegetables they had picked.
After going to the countryside, Aunt Yu improved her health, but she was still in tears when faced with her ailing husband and two baskets of wild vegetables. Gu An'an happened to be there when she found out.
Gu An'an asked Aunt Yu to help the person back, while she took care of the two baskets of wild vegetables.
At first, the two disagreed, fearing that being seen by the villagers would affect Gu An'an.
It's hard to say about the villagers, but those guys in the educated youth compound aren't exactly good people. Even though they live in the cowshed, they've heard all sorts of things about Gu An'an and them, and they're afraid Gu An'an will be implicated.
To their surprise, Gu An'an not only didn't ignore them, but also helped them treat their leg injury and brought them some medicinal wine.
This kindness is something they will remember for a lifetime.
"That's good. We brought some food for everyone."
Actually, it was brought for Old Mo, in case he wasn't used to the food here. After all, the people in the cowshed had limited mobility and couldn't get their hands on anything good.
With so many people around, I had to say the right things, otherwise it wouldn't be delivering food, but rather exacerbating the conflict between them.
"No need, keep the food for yourself. We have grain here."
Gu An'an glanced at Old Master Mo, "Old Master Mo just arrived today, let's have a welcome dinner for him."
Old Mo shook his head and chuckled. Although he was sent down to Xiaowang Village for protection, the situation was definitely worse than before, so there was no point in talking about welcoming him back.
However, despite thinking this in his heart, he didn't say anything that would spoil the mood.
"Then this old man thanks you for your kindness."
The cowshed, as the name suggests, is where the cattle of Xiaowang Village are also raised. However, compared to the cowsheds in other villages, the environment here is quite good. After all, it is a real cowshed and there is some distance between it and the cowshed, so the smell is much less, but it cannot be said that it is completely gone.
After the group entered the house, Gu An'an lifted the cloth covering the basket and took out a bowl of braised snake meat, a bowl of chicken stew with mushrooms, and some fresh vegetables from the backyard.
"This food is too good, my little benefactor, you should take it back and eat it yourself."
"Yes, Gu Zhiqing, you can take it back. We've stocked up on a lot of food, so Old Mo won't go hungry."
They hadn't eaten such a hearty meal in a long time. Although the villagers could keep any small animals they caught, they didn't dare, fearing that someone would find fault with them. They lived cautiously, ultimately because they had been terrified back in the city.
Seeing such delicious-looking food, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, but they still refused to eat it.
This is a really good meal; you might not even get to eat this good at a wedding banquet. How could they possibly accept it?
"Don't take anything, this was specially saved for you, so please eat without worry."
Then she tugged at Xiao Yuheng's clothes, "Let's go, it's not good if someone sees us."
Xiao Yuheng knew that she was afraid that the others would feel embarrassed if they stayed any longer, so he immediately nodded and followed her lead.
"I'll come back for this bowl tomorrow. You guys have some."
The men in the cowshed worked hard every day. Ever since they learned that the village would also harvest the wild vegetables they grew, the four of them never returned until dark.
So when Gu An'an finished eating that day, they had just finished cooking. The two seasonal vegetables had a little bit of meat in them, and the meat was what the village had distributed during the New Year.
It's rare, but if you eat sparingly, it can last for half a year. After all, they won't touch it unless they're mindful of the cost of food.
"These two children..."
Looking at the two meat dishes on the table, I almost burst into tears.
Old Mo spoke first, "Since it's been delivered, let's eat it. We'll repay this kindness with our lives."
Mr. Mo can understand them. They are all cultured people and have suffered the consequences of being cultured. Otherwise, they would not have to suffer like this.
However, compared to those who lost their lives, they were already lucky.
"Well, I'll keep my life to pay for it slowly."
Old Mo even took out a small bottle of wine, saying, "Let's have a little drink."
"liquor!"
No man dislikes alcohol, but they didn't drink much; each took a small sip and that was it.
"Do you go to the cowshed often?"
Xiao Yuheng didn't look down on the people living in cowsheds; on the contrary, he admired them greatly, as many of them had made contributions to the country.
He didn't want to judge how society is now. He felt that, just like people, even if he occasionally went astray, as long as his heart wasn't bad, he could eventually get back on track; all he needed was time.
He was willing to contact those people himself, but he still had many concerns about Gu An'an, fearing that she might get hurt as a result.
"No, I only helped out that one time. I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to wander around."
Hearing Gu An'an say this, Xiao Yuheng felt relieved.
“I’m not saying you can’t have contact with them, but you need to be careful about your safety. If you do need to have contact, do it at night, or if anything happens, notify your uncle and let him handle it.”
Listening to her boyfriend's nagging, Gu An'an nodded repeatedly, "I know, I'm not stupid. Those guys from the educated youth institute are still watching me, I won't give them any leverage."
The two walked and talked, and soon returned to the courtyard.
"Shall I go in?"
"An'an".
Under the moonlight, Gu An'an's skin was as white as snow, and she had a translucent feeling about her, looking extremely beautiful.
Xiao Yuheng really wanted to reach out and touch her, but considering that they had just established a relationship, he held back.
"Bring your bicycle ticket with you tomorrow, and I'll take you to buy a bicycle. It'll be more convenient for you to travel back and forth."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
Xiao Yuheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'll watch you go in."
There were still young couples reluctant to part at the entrance of the university dormitory. Her boyfriend is so innocent; I really want to give him a squeeze.
Gu An'an, who always acts on her impulses, immediately reached out and rubbed and pinched Xiao Yuheng's face before stepping into the courtyard.
"It feels pretty good. I'll buy you a bottle of face cream tomorrow to continue the skincare routine."
It feels nice to the touch? Is it face cream?
None of that matters.
The important thing is that the moment An An approached, a delicate fragrance wafted into his nose.
Honestly, he wanted to hug him tightly right then and there.
He did so, but unfortunately Gu An'an was slippery, and he was stunned for two seconds, so he only had time to grab her sleeve before she entered the courtyard.
Xiao Yuheng, oh Xiao Yuheng, this is your reaction speed.
I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I told anyone.
