Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

On the one hand, Xu Liyun is no longer the fragile and sensitive girl who was easily hurt by gossip;

On the other hand, their thatched hut was located at the foot of Daxiu Mountain, far away from the village center. In addition, due to the cold weather, every household had their doors and windows closed, enjoying the warmth of their own home. Xu Guishan's deliberately raised voice seemed particularly small in the cold air, and almost no one could hear it.

Xu Guishan's unwillingness burned like wild grass scorched by the summer sun. His voice was filled with anxiety and indignation as he shouted, "Oh, my dear sister, although mother is not your biological mother, she has raised you for many years with great difficulty, and father treats you as his own child, holding you in his hands day and night to take care of you. Back then, you and Zhang Laoer worked hard outside and rarely came home. Mother always understood how difficult it was for you to be away from home, felt sorry for you sleeping in the open, and silently defended you in front of us."

Xu Liyun listened to these words with a frown on her face, as if a heavy weight was weighing on her heart. She muttered in a low voice: "So, the purpose of your trip is to hope that I can take time to go back to my hometown to visit my parents?"

Before Xu Guishan could turn the topic to pleading, he was caught off guard by a sudden interruption. He was stunned at first, but then a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled confidently, "That's right! Dad and Mom think about you day and night, and look forward to you returning with your brother-in-law and the children to share the joy of family life."

After he finished speaking, Xu Guishan's voice unconsciously became a little softer.

This time, Xu Guishan and Xu Guilong came together, and the reason behind this is intriguing.

Rumor has it that the leader of the kang-making team that even the county magistrate was amazed was actually the little-known Zhang Laoer.

It is said that thanks to this craft, Zhangjia Village has become a well-known and prosperous place, and even the bandits hiding in the mountains are astonished!

At this moment, Xu Guishan was getting married, and the five taels of silver requested as a dowry by the woman put the already poor Xu family in a difficult position.

If Xu Liyun could be successfully persuaded to return to the family, not only would the issue of the bride price be solved, but perhaps Zhang Laoer could also be asked to help and provide the Xu family with a few warm kangs for free. Why not do it?

Xu Guishan was thinking in his mind, but he didn't know that his sister was no longer as submissive as she used to be.

He continued to talk eloquently, urging, "Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, a good day for our daughter to come back. You haven't been to your hometown in these years, and the villagers have been gossiping a lot, saying that our Xu family has raised an unfilial daughter. When you go back this time, prepare some good gifts for the two elders, so that they can be proud of it."

Xu Guilong, who was standing aside, echoed loyally with a silly smile on his face.

Even a blind person could see what the two were thinking; their calculations were too obvious.

Faced with this "good intention", Xu Liyun did not directly refuse, but instead raised the corner of her mouth to reveal an intriguing smile.

It was the end of the year and the beginning of the next year, and she was feeling bored. Since the Xu family came to her on their own initiative, how could she be polite?

"Okay, then let me help my brother-in-law pack his luggage and prepare some more gifts for my parents to make them happy." There was a hint of joking in Xu Liyun's words. She pulled up Zhang Laoer, who was still standing there in a daze, and walked quickly into the main room. She began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets looking for a backpack to prepare to pack the New Year's goods.

Zhang Laoer looked at her actions, a trace of surprise flashed across his face: "Are you really going to give them gifts?"

Xu Liyun sneered, turned into the woodshed, pulled out a handful of dry straw, first spread a thick mat on the bottom of the backpack, then placed the large cracked pottery jar from the kitchen into it, and finally covered it tightly with more hay.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lao Er shook his head and laughed: "If the Xu family knew that you gave them a broken jar, they would be furious."

Xu Liyun shook her head slightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes. She stretched out her scallion-white fingers and lightly pushed aside the densely packed dead branches and leaves that covered the broken jar. Although the jar was mottled, it faintly revealed a charm that transcended time.

"Don't underestimate this seemingly worn-out earthenware jar. It bears not only traces of time, but also perhaps a hidden historical story. Isn't this a filial act the best of both worlds? It not only demonstrates our affection for our family, but is also an unexpected wealth gain."

After she finished speaking, Xu Liyun's gaze seemed to penetrate the thin air, and swept lightly over Zhang Laoer with a bit of playfulness and depth, and there was a subtle exchange of glances.

"Once you give away something as precious as this, you naturally hope that the right person will cherish it. Don't let the time come when you feel sad and regretful."

As the two slowly walked out of the door, the small backpack on Zhang Laoer's back became particularly eye-catching. It was inconspicuous and covered with a layer of dry grass stems. Without careful observation, it was difficult to detect the mystery inside.

Xu Liyun, on the other hand, looked relaxed, with empty hands, as if all burdens had been lifted.

This scene, in Xu Guishan's eyes, immediately aroused an indescribable resentment and dissatisfaction.

He originally planned to use this visit to let his sister and brother-in-law return with a lot of goods, so that he could also get a share and enjoy the good stuff that slipped from their hands.

However, the reality was that the basket on Zhang Laoer's back was not only pitifully small, but also hastily covered. This made Xu Guishan's sense of loss grow like weeds, almost drowning his reason.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and prepare to use a few sarcastic words to satirize the couple in an attempt to force them to reveal more of their hidden values, Xu Liyun seemed to have seen through his thoughts. She flashed and swiftly pulled him aside, with a gleam of warning and reproach in her eyes.

"Don't make trouble for me here. Can't you see that your brother-in-law is in a bad mood?"

With Xu Liyun's reminder, Xu Guishan finally noticed Zhang Laoer's face, which was as gloomy as a cold pond. It was an indescribable solemnity and depression.

"Just for such a trivial thing, how could he be so unhappy? He is simply petty to the extreme." Xu Guishan muttered to himself, and his contempt for the Zhang family increased a little more.

At this moment, Xu Liyun's hand suddenly slapped him on the back like a gust of wind. The force was so great that he involuntarily staggered forward several steps and almost lost his balance.

In astonishment, he turned to look at Xu Liyun, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Sister, did you master some unique skill? This almost made me fly!"

Xu Liyun laughed secretly in her heart, but pretended to be serious on the surface: "What do you know, kid? The things in the backpack are our real treasures!"
