The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 62 A bumper harvest (1)

The next day, Mo Wu came to the Mo family early to pick up the two children and returned to Liuyang Village. She looked at the brand new cotton clothes and trousers on the children, which were nice and thick. It was obvious that they had put a lot of thought into them.

“Girl Yan, I really don’t know how to thank you!”

Mo Wu held Mo Yan’s hand gratefully, the corners of her eyes moist. This is the first time the two children have worn such nice clothes since they have grown up.

"Look what Auntie said, Sannier Shitou is also my younger brother and sister. Why should I thank you?" Mo Yan smiled helplessly and touched Shitou's little head: "Sannier Shitou is well-behaved and sensible. We are both very nice. I like them, and if you hadn’t insisted on taking them back, I would have kept them for a while longer!”

Mo Wu waved her hands repeatedly: "I have harassed your family for long enough. The two children have been eating and drinking at your place for less than half a month. If they stay any longer, my aunt will have no shame in entering your house again."

Hearing what she said, Mo Yan couldn't force herself anymore, lest anyone in Liuyang Village gossip about her cousin's aunt.

Mo Yan left the three of them to have lunch before going back. Mo Wu refused to do so, so Mo Yan had to force her to give her two packets of snacks and asked her to secretly take them back to her eldest son and daughter, which made her angry. Mo Wu shed another burst of tears.

The two little guys were very reluctant to part with their cousins. Their eyes were red. They seemed to be sensible enough not to cry loudly, but it made Mo Yan and the others even more sad. Mo Yan even wanted to keep them here for a while longer.

“Sister, Sannier and Shitou are so pitiful. They don’t even have enough food to eat at home. The second mistress often beats Sannier and calls her a loser.”

Looking at the donkey cart going away, Xin'er's eyes were red and sad.

 In the past, in Mojia Village, Xin'er was not close to Sannier because of the relationship between the Mo Hong family, but in just ten days, she almost regarded Sannier as her own sister.

“Yes, sister, Shitou has never even eaten candied haws on a stick before, and he has never had a wooden horse or candy man to play with.”

Zhen'er didn't cry, but she was in a very depressed mood.

“It doesn’t matter. When we move to Liuyang Village in the future, you two can play with them at home and share your food and fun with them. Don’t they have it too?”

 Mo Yan comforted her softly after hearing this. The two guys seemed to have forgotten the days when they had neither enough food nor clothing nor could they eat candied haws. However, it is always a good thing to have good intentions, right?

When the siblings heard what their sister said, they became happy again and began to look forward to the day of moving to Yangliu Village.

 …

In the following days, Mo Qingze still went to Liuyang Village every day. Fortunately, within two days, all the seeds had sprouted, and the sprouts were very even, and the seeds were almost undamaged. This made several old farmers responsible for taking care of the greenhouses Greatly surprised.

“Haha, Uncle Zhong, you don’t know that I’ve been anxious these days. I’m fine now, and I can finally sleep peacefully!”

 In the evening, Mo Qingze came back, swept away his previous melancholy, and happily shared the good news with Li Zhong, who had just returned.

"As long as the seedlings emerge, these vegetables will grow sooner or later," Li Zhong put his mind at ease and joked: "If it hadn't been delayed, I should have cleared out my ten acres of wasteland and planted vegetables with you."

When Mo Qingze heard this, the smile on his face disappeared little by little. He was silent for a long time before hesitating: "Uncle Zhong, there is no news about Sister Xiu'er yet?"

The smile disappeared from Li Zhong's face, and finally he sighed: "An old friend helped me find out some information, saying that someone had seen a woman very similar to Xiu'er in Bei City, but I couldn't confirm it. I plan to go there again. Look for it in Bei City."

 Beishi?

Mo Qingze frowned. He had been in the capital for so long, and he had some understanding of the layout of the capital.
