"Well, something urgent happened at home. I'm afraid I can't stay to help clean up. I'm really sorry."

Faced with such refusal, Ran He was still grateful for their previous help and nodded politely.

Turning and walking into the kitchen, she pretended to look for something in the backpack, but in fact she was taking things from her own mysterious space.

In this secret space that belongs only to her, there are currently only a few huge pumpkins and a few lively rabbits.

The rabbit was naturally her treasure, and she was reluctant to use it, so she decided to use a pumpkin as a solution.

This year's grain harvests are generally poor, and pumpkins have become a scarce commodity in every household.

Even feeding livestock had to use bran instead of pumpkin or sweet potato, which they usually used to fill their stomachs.

Today's sunshine is particularly bright, shining on the bluestone road in the town, adding a bit of warmth to the busy day.

Ran He stood in front of his new house, looking at the villagers who were gathered in a circle, sweating profusely but with smiles on their faces, his heart filled with gratitude.

"Today, I am grateful to everyone for helping me move. This friendship is as heavy as a mountain. I have no way to repay you. I can only give each of you two pumpkins to express my gratitude."

Her words were gentle and sincere, like a spring breeze blowing through the heart, making people feel a warm power.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the basket in Ran He's hand, and saw that the pumpkins there were all round and full.

The golden skin glows attractively in the sun, as if it contains the purest sweetness and warmth of nature.

Those pumpkins were extraordinary, not only in size, but also with a fresh yet rich aroma.

It was like the essence of an autumn field, causing everyone around to take a deep breath, an indescribable desire rising in their throats.

The pumpkins produced in the fields on a normal day often have some defects, either some blemishes on the skin, or they are shriveled and uneven, or even have strange shapes. They are far less perfect and tempting than the ones in Ran He's hands.

The villagers were talking about it in private. They originally thought that Ran He had moved.

I had nothing on hand except the most basic food, so I didn't expect that someone would generously give me such a precious pumpkin. I couldn't help but feel a little surprised and curious.

After all, even the famous wealthy woman in the town, Mrs. Wu.

No one has ever had the chance to taste such a high-quality pumpkin, so the source of Ran He's pumpkin has become a mystery in everyone's mind.

However, the aroma of pumpkin is too tempting to resist.

The villagers' minds were instantly occupied by this sweet atmosphere, and even the most basic courtesy of refusal was forgotten.

For a moment, everyone rushed to take the pumpkin handed over by Ran He.

Everyone's face was filled with a satisfied smile, as if this gift was not only a material gift, but also a spiritual comfort.

"This girl is so polite. It's just a small favor. There's no need to spend so much money. Thank you, girl!"

An elderly uncle patted Ran He on the shoulder, his tone full of love and approval.

After getting the pumpkin, everyone became more friendly towards Ran He.

The subsequent help was even more unsparing and came from the heart.

Make the entire moving process efficient and full of laughter.

"Aunts, if there is something urgent at home, I won't force you to stay. You are all welcome to come and be my guest some other day, and we can have a good time together."

Ran He said with understanding, her eyes full of sincerity and gratitude, not the slightest bit of displeasure because everyone was about to leave.

Several aunts were embarrassed to leave immediately because they had just harvested pumpkins.

After hearing what Ran He said, the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. They all said goodbye with a smile. Before leaving, they did not forget to turn back and remind Ran He to take good care of himself.

At this time, Zhu Cuihua quietly pulled Ran He over and whispered, "Neighbors should help each other. You are too polite. It is not easy for you to take care of three children by yourself. You also have to consider saving money."

Her eyes were full of care and worry.

Ran He responded with a complex and gentle smile, which was a mixture of helplessness and gratitude.

She knew that Zhu Cuihua did not understand the mysterious space she possessed, and would naturally be a little worried about her generosity.

This concern from her friends made her heart warm.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I remember every bit of your kindness. Could you please help me tidy up the kitchen? It's getting late and I have to prepare dinner."

Ran He responded softly, she was thinking in her mind that this meal tonight was not just for her family.

In order to thank the villagers who stayed to help, she wanted to repay their kindness with practical actions.

Zhu Cuihua misunderstood Ran He's meaning, thinking that she wanted to quickly make dinner for the children, so she stopped asking any more questions, immediately rolled up her sleeves, and quickly began to clean up the kitchen.

Fortunately, although the kitchen is empty, there is not much dust. It can be made brand new by simply cleaning and wiping it with water.

"I'll go home and get whatever's missing from the kitchen. We can't be without pots, pans, and utensils."

Zhu Cuihua worked in a hurry. She turned around and left quickly before she finished speaking, planning to get some cooking utensils from her home to provide support.

Ran He wanted to stop her, but it was too late, so he had to let her go.

In fact, Ran He had already prepared various cooking utensils in her secret space, but she knew it very well.

In full view of everyone, a large number of items were suddenly taken out, especially those exquisite bowls and plates.

This would inevitably arouse suspicion from Wu's mother and others, and might even lead to gossip, with people thinking that these were all stolen from the Wu family.

Therefore, she decided to simply put the items on hand in order.

As for the cooking utensils problem, it is better to rely on the help of enthusiastic neighbors for the time being.

At this time, Ran He’s three children - Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao, as well as the neighbor’s puppy Dan.

The four little guys were carrying buckets together and running towards the river along the winding stone road, skipping and jumping.

Two people carried a bucket in a group. Even though the bucket was only half full of water, it was already a heavy burden for these children.

They took turns, occasionally bumping into each other accidentally.

The water splashed and wet their clothes, but this did not affect their joyful mood at all.

The children's laughter is clear and sweet, like the gurgling sound of water in a summer stream, full of childlike joy.

Ran He stood at the door, looking at the happy figures of the children, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She didn't stop them because she understood that it was just a simple matter of hitting the water.

The children found their own happiness. That innocence and joy, even though covered in mud, seemed extremely precious.

Faced with this rare childlike fun, Ran He chose to guard it silently, allowing the children to enjoy this carefree time.

The memories of childhood should be like a little monkey playing in a summer puddle, covered with the gifts of nature.
