At this time, Jiaojiao in the yard heard the sound of the carriage and shouted into the house with a smile: "Mom, our carriage is back."

"Let's go, go out and meet your Auntie Xiu..."

When Liu Zhihua rushed to the door with her children, Mu Cheng's family had already got off the carriage, and everyone was looking at the magnificent courtyard with a smile.

"Auntie."

"Aunt Xiu, uncle."

"Aunt Xiu, uncle..."

The children obediently called out to say hello. Liu Zhihua stepped forward, pulled her sister and said with a smile: "Xiuhua, your face looks better and better."

Xiuhua's face became a little more rosy. She took her sister's hand and patted it excitedly. She said with emotion and happiness: "Sister, I heard my brother-in-law talk about your family's affairs on the way. After all, God is looking after us two sisters and two families.

Things have gotten better."

Liu Zhihua smiled and nodded, "Yes, our sisterhood will get better and better in the future."

Wang Zhuangzhi also wanted to go to the town to pick up Qiu Sheng and Wei Qing. On the way back, he picked up Aunt Liu and his family, smiled and said something to his brother-in-law, and then hurried away in the carriage.

Liu Zhihua led her sister into the house,

Behind him, Mu Kuan walked in with Xiao Li in his arms. Erya followed beside him, curiously asking his uncle: "Uncle, the stories you told me a few days ago were really nice. Is there anything else interesting?

?"

Mu Kuan smiled heartily, touched the back of Erya's head, and said cheerfully: "It's rare that Erya likes to hear it. I will come in later and my uncle will tell you."

Erya's dark eyes were full of expectation, she smiled and nodded and said "Okay".

Jiaojiao followed Mu Cheng, who looked very energetic with a smile on his face. He was wearing a blue shirt and looked very much like the students in the town.

Jiaojiao raised her head and asked him softly: "Cousin Cheng, have you also gone to school in the town?"

"Yes, my elder brother has gone to school and is in the same library as his cousin Qiu Sheng. From now on, the two of us will take care of each other."

Mu Cheng smiled when he talked about the school. He took his sister's sleeves and helped her up the steps, "Jiaojiao, please go slowly."

"Thank you, cousin Cheng~"

Mu Cheng was very happy to have such a sweet and charming sister.

He used to be the only one in the family. He didn't have many relatives on his mother's side, and there were only some cousins ​​on his father's side. They always brought benefits with them. Every time they came to visit, they would borrow money. When their family was in trouble, they ran away faster than anyone else.<

/p>

Suddenly he learned that he had an aunt. He didn't have much hope in his heart. He never thought that his aunt's family were very good people. His cousin Qiu Sheng took good care of him in the academy, and he also had these lovely younger brothers and sisters. In short, he loved everyone.

I like it very much.

……

At noon, everyone and their families gathered together.

Wang Zhuangzhi bought firecrackers from the town. After setting off the firecrackers, a group of children ran to the backyard to play.

The gift given by the old scholar Liu was a chessboard, which happened to be crowded, so people gathered around to play chess.

Xiuhua and Aunt Liu rolled up their sleeves and went to the kitchen to help Zhihua prepare meals together.

"Hey, what are you doing here? I've prepared all the dishes, except for the stew and stir-fry. It would be great if you go out and eat melon seeds and cakes."

Liu Zhihua said as she kicked people out. There was no point in asking people to help cook.

"Zhihua, you are too outsider. Maybe with this grand courtyard, you treat us as outsiders."

Aunt Liu has always been eloquent, but if she says this, she will be considered an outsider if she doesn't let her stay.

Xiuhua also smiled and said: "Sister, we are idle when we are idle. When we come in to help, we can also chat about housework."

Liu Zhihua smiled helplessly and said loudly: "Okay, if you still blame me for letting you sit and enjoy the happiness, then just follow me and work in the kitchen. Don't scream if you get your sleeves dirty."

"Don't worry if it gets dirty, just leave it and let Zhihua wash it..."

"Don't tell me, this courtyard is better. Look at the kitchen. It's big enough, and the three stoves are so exquisite. It saves a lot of trouble to cook a meal. It's better than the earthen stoves in our village."

"Oh, these mushrooms are growing really well. I'll cook you my specialty, fried mushrooms. That stuff is more fragrant than meat..."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and the kitchen was full of laughter. It was very lively while cooking and chatting about household matters.

——

Backyard,

Qiu Sheng bought paper and pens for his younger brothers and sisters. The pavilion in the backyard was big enough, so he moved the wooden table from the house. It happened that Mu Cheng couldn't keep up with his classes, so he and Wei Qing taught them how to read and write.

Erya would peek at Wei Qing from time to time.

Among all the boys Erya knows, except for her elder brother and younger brother, only Wei Qing does not laugh at her for her dark face. Every time she talks to her, she always smiles gently. She is good at studying and looks very promising. Erya will laugh every time she sees him.

I can't help but be happy.

Liu Weiqing felt Erya's gaze and thought she couldn't write, so he smiled and stepped forward to ask: "Erya, you can't write?"

Erya was startled by being caught, and quickly shook her head and said: "Okay."

Then he lowered his head, grabbed the pen and started writing, his cheeks already burning red.

Liu Weiqing looked at Erya, whose ears and neck were red. After all, he was a thirteen-year-old boy, and he had read books for so many years. Sometimes he would secretly buy books from Liaozhai in bookstores and read them, and he would realize something.<

/p>

He pursed his lips and scratched his head, then said nothing more and walked over to help Qiu Sheng tutor Mu Cheng with his homework.

Erya watched the person leave from the corner of his eye, raised his hand and rubbed his ears, feeling so embarrassed.

Seeing her sister like this, Jiaojiao looked at Brother Wei Qing curiously, wondering what she meant.

"Hmm~" Xiao Li followed the writing obediently at first, but after persisting for a while, he started scratching his hair.

Until the smell of rice came from the front yard, his eyes lit up and he licked his mouth. When his elder brother wasn't paying attention, he secretly dropped his pen and slipped out.

When Qiu Sheng saw it, he had already run out a lot.

Qiu Sheng smiled helplessly, then walked over and picked up the paper written by his younger brother and looked at it. The smile suddenly froze at the corner of his mouth.

I saw that it was like a ghost painting, with words painted everywhere and no words at all. There were also a few twisted fish with long legs painted on the corners.

Erya saw her eldest brother looking at Xiao Li's paper, so she sneaked over to take a look, then she held her stomach and laughed, "Haha, it looks like the yellow talisman used by Taoist priests to cast spells. The fish also has legs..."

Others also came over to take a look out of curiosity. They all couldn't help laughing after seeing it. They smiled and patted the elder brother to comfort him: "Brother, don't be angry. I'll write another one after I have eaten to punish the younger brother."

"Jiaojiao is right, I will punish him to write another one later."

Qiu Sheng smiled and put the piece of paper away, going back to stick it in Xiao Li's room as a souvenir so that he could see his masterpiece when he grows up.

While the others were talking, Xiao Li ran back excitedly, his cheeks bulging, and shouted while eating: "It's time to eat, the fried mushrooms made by Aunt Xiu are delicious."

Mu Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard that his mother's fried mushrooms were his favorite, and he hurriedly greeted: "Let's go quickly, my mother's fried mushrooms are amazing, they are crispy and crispy, and they are sprinkled with fragrant sesame chili noodles.

."

"Wow, I want to eat!"

"I want to..."
