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

When she learned the origin of these unexpected surprises, Xu Liyun was extremely excited. She hugged the little girl in her arms, rubbing her cheek gently against her tender little face, her eyes full of pride and love.

"My dear daughter, you are getting more and more capable. Not only did you find so many eggs, but you also caught such a big pheasant. Tomorrow, I will let your second brother make a delicious chicken stew for our family to enjoy. What do you think?"

Little Youniang thought of Zhang Siwa's skillful cooking movements and was full of confidence in her second brother's cooking skills. When she heard that she would be able to eat delicious pheasant soup tomorrow, she couldn't help swallowing: "The pheasant is so big, our whole family can eat it together and eat it all!"

As she spoke, she gently stroked her mother's thin face with her small hands and gave her a kiss on that skinny face with heartache.

"Mom, we all have to eat more and keep ourselves plump. Uncle Zhou Xiucai said that if we eat well, we will be healthy and not get sick easily!"

Hearing the name "Zhou Xiucai", Zhang Laoer couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Who is this Zhou Xiucai? Why don't I have any impression of him? Youniang, where did you hear about him?"

Xiao Youniang explained with a serious look on her face: "It's Mr. Zhou behind us. He lives next to the big willow tree. People in the village say that he is very knowledgeable, as if he has a belly full of ink! He also taught me how to read and write when I was a child."

"Oh, our young lady actually had school experience. What did Mr. Zhou teach her?"

As Xu Liyun spoke, she carefully put the tied pheasant into the chicken coop with skill and speed, while lowering her head to ask her daughter.

The little girl held her sister's hand tightly, her eyes fixed on her mother's busy figure, and there was a hint of pride in her childish voice.

"I've learned a lot. I can recite the beginning of the Three Character Classic: 'When a man is born, his nature is good...'"

She spoke each word clearly, her clear voice echoing in the air.

The soft and gentle voice of the little girl reading gently brushed Zhang Laoer's heart. He carefully placed the eggs that his daughter picked up from the edge of the village in the old cupboard in the kitchen.

In a few seconds, the rough outer coats of the hairy pears were shed, revealing the white and delicate flesh. He carefully cut them into small dices and placed them on a blue and white porcelain plate, exuding an enticing fragrance.

Looking at the just the right amount of diced pears on the plate, Zhang Laoer knew that Xiao Youniang must have been reluctant to eat even a single bite and had brought them home specially.

Such considerate behavior as Xiao Youniang's is not uncommon these days.

Zhang Laoer had tried to persuade her gently many times, hoping that she could learn to take care of herself. However, this child seemed to have not felt much warmth for too long. As long as her family showed a little concern, she would give everything she had and share all her gains with her family.

Zhang Laoer was somewhat at a loss as to how to change Xiao Youniang's overly selfless habit, but when Zhou Xiucai was mentioned, an idea flashed through his mind.

He gathered his two sons around the table and tasted the carefully prepared diced pears. Then he turned to Xiao Youniang and said, "It seems that Uncle Zhou Xiucai has helped us Youniang a lot. How about Daddy accompany you to visit Uncle Zhou and say hello tomorrow?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Youniang frowned slightly: "Dad, do you want to see Uncle Zhou? But he can be very impatient sometimes."

Zhang Laoer laughed and waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about. "It's okay. Anyone who can take such good care of our young girl must be kind-hearted. Since he taught you to read and write, he can be regarded as a half-mentor, so you should naturally pay him a visit."

There was still a trace of hesitation between Xiao Youniang's brows. She stared at her father, trying to find a turning point from his determined eyes. In the end, she had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, since Dad insists so much, then let's go. But Uncle Zhou's temper is really not very good."

The little surprise that Xiao Youniang brought back made the whole family praise her endlessly. Amidst the praises, Xiao Youniang's cheeks flushed with shyness. Finally, she couldn't help giggling and fell into Xu Liyun's gentle arms.

Xu Liyun's reminder sounded at the right time: "You two sisters are only allowed to go out to play at the foot of the mountain. You are not allowed to enter the forest without permission. Remember?"

The two daughters nodded obediently in agreement, especially the little girl, who had obviously remembered her mother's words deeply.

Xu Liyun caressed her daughters' heads lovingly, but this heartwarming gesture earned Zhang Laoer a jealous look: "Don't mess up their hair, you'll have to braid it again for Youniang later."

Xu Liyun paused when she heard the voice, and quickly withdrew her hand that was hanging in the air with a bit of embarrassment and a smile.

Just as the family was happily sitting in the yard enjoying fruit and chatting, there was suddenly a commotion outside the door, accompanied by hurried and chaotic footsteps.

Little Youniang poked her head out curiously, and saw several village women pulling a crying child and forcing their way into the Zhang family's yard.

"Zhang Laoer, come and take a look! Your two girls have beaten my son like this. If you don't give us an explanation today, I will never let you go!"

The woman in the lead, dressed in neat coarse cloth, started shouting loudly as soon as she stepped over the threshold.

The boy, who was forcibly dragged by her into the center of everyone's attention, was ragged and covered in dust.

His figure trembled slightly. Feeling the scrutiny and questioning eyes of the Zhang family members around him, he lowered his head involuntarily, and his messy hair covered half of his face.

With his appearance, five other boys who were also in dishevel were pushed forward without any explanation, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear.

Seeing this, several women, either out of heartache or anger at the children's cowardice, could not help but scold them in a low voice, blaming them for being so useless and not knowing how to stand up straight at the critical moment.

Zhang Laoer looked at the six young men in front of him whose heights had surpassed his eldest daughter, and then turned his gaze to the two thin and pale girls beside them.

His brows knitted slightly, his eyes were filled with doubt and displeasure, and he slowly asked, "Did you really do it?"

The little girl seemed to feel the tense atmosphere and quickly hugged Zhang Laoer's solid waist tightly. Her childish voice was full of panic and innocence.

"It's not my and my sister's fault. They were the ones who tried to take our things first and threatened to beat us. My sister had to fight back to protect me. And, really, they were the ones who attacked us first!"

The woman obviously scoffed at what Xiao Youniang said and refuted her harshly: "Humph! You little girl are full of lies! My son is so honest, how could he steal your things for no reason? It's obviously you two little girls who are deliberately looking for trouble and bullying others! Fellow villagers, come and judge, look at these scars on my Goudan, they are all caused by that wild girl from her family!"
