Wei Xiaochuan became excited, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry. Although he is in the government school and I am in the county school, we have acquaintances. I promise to tell you what he does every day."

Yu Tang said: "Then you can't waste your studies either?"

If the Li family wants that painting, they must either fall into her trap, steal or rob, and get Lu Xin's "relic"; or force her to marry Li Jun as in the previous life.

If the Li family fell into her trap, ten years would not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge. She could spend ten or twenty years slowly finding out the real cause of Wei Xiaoshan's death. But this life is different from her previous life. She has parents and an elder brother. If the Li family wants to intervene in her marriage again, they can only outwit and not rob, there must be another way.

She just waited.

The most urgent task now is to appease Wei Xiaochuan, and don't let him affect his studies or even his future because of this incident.

Wei Xiaochuan showed a little smile, and said, "Don't worry, sister, I know the seriousness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tang heard his mother's voice: "What are you doing here?"

Both of them followed the prestige together.

Surprised, Mrs. Chen hesitated, "Is this Xiao Chuan? The fifth son of the Wei family?"

Wei Xiaochuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen hugged him happily, and said: "My good boy, what's the matter with you coming to our house? Why don't you go in and talk? It's not good to be here at the back door. Quick, quick, quick, follow me into the house." He called out to Shuangtao loudly, "Give some of the dim sum that Young Master Yuan bought from Hangzhou a few days ago to Xiao Chuan to taste."

Wei Xiaochuan's face turned red. He hurriedly said: "Auntie, no need! I just came to see my sister. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, our county school is on holiday, and I have to go back and help the family with farm work!"

"Oh my god!" Mrs. Chen liked it even more, and said, "You are already studying in the county school, and you are helping the family with farm work! That's great. Unlike some scholars, who can do nothing after reading a few books. If you don’t move the horizontal grass, you won’t take the vertical grass. However, since you are in a hurry to go back for the holiday, I won’t keep you. But you must bring the snacks, if you don’t like it, you can give it to your brothers and sisters.”

Wei Xiaochuan agreed, thanked Mrs. Chen, took some snacks, and went home.

The Chen family closed the door and interrogated Yu Tang: "Xiaochuan is a boy who is not even three feet tall, and he is studying in the county school. Why did he come to you suddenly?"

Yu Tang had no choice but to say: "Can't I ask him about Miss Xiang?"

Mrs. Chen slapped her, and said: "This matter has not been settled yet, if there is any demon moth because of you, see if I don't lock it in the woodshed."

Yu Tang knew that her mother would always treat her with a knife and a bean curd heart. When she was a child, she did not know how many troubles she had caused without being touched by her mother. She wanted to make her mother happy, she called "Daddy" loudly, and said, "Mother is going to beat me!"

Yu Wen came out of the study in a hurry, and before he saw anyone, he said loudly: "Speak up if you have something to say, what kind of children are you beating!"

"Yu Tang!" Chen Shi couldn't laugh or cry.

Yu Tang has already run to Yu Wen's side.

Yu Wen knew at a glance that Yu Tang was playing around, and he spread his hands helplessly at Chen Shi, and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'm going to write. I don't care about your business."

Yu Tang ran to his mother to apologize to her, and changed the focus to talk about tomorrow's blind date: "What kind of clothes should I wear? If I steal Miss Xiang's limelight, she won't like me as a sister-in-law before she enters the door, why?" manage?"

"Then marry you off." Chen pinched her daughter's cheek, but still helped her to pick up her clothes.

Yu Tang chose a lilac-colored dress to accompany Ma Xiuniang to wear hairpins. Although Mrs. Chen was not satisfied, she didn't say much. In the early morning of the next day, she and Mrs. Wang took sedan chairs to their Yu family's farm in the countryside. , After lunch, he pretended to be returning home and passed by Wei's house, and went to visit Wei's house.

Looking at the scenery along the way, Yu Tang felt a little depressed.

Usually this kind of acquaintance is in a temple or nunnery.

Their family and Wei's family arranged for Wei's house in a roundabout way, probably because they were afraid that she would be hurt by the scene and remember her marriage.

Her parents love each other, but she can't repay her.

Yu Tang took a deep breath, telling himself that he must be happy in front of his mother.

The old house of Yu's family in the countryside is quite big, a black brick house with five entrances, a distant widower of the family lives there with his adopted son to help their family look after the house and manage the farmland, Yu Tang wants to call him the fifth uncle, He called his adopted son Seventh Uncle.

This fifth uncle was in his sixties, honest and honest, and had been helping the Yu family to take care of the old house in his previous life. Knowing that Yu Wen and others were coming back, he cleaned the house early and prepared a banquet.

Yu Tang ate in the house with his mother, aunt and other female relatives, while Yu Wen and his fifth uncle drank outside.

The fifth uncle asked Yu Wen: "The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet passed. Although the grain in the field has been harvested, it has not been recorded in the account. Why don't you go to the granary first?"

Yu Wen said with a smile: "Today we just go back to the countryside to have fun, and the things in the fields will still be as in previous years."

Fifth Uncle looked at the somewhat gloomy sky and didn't understand what to do in the countryside in this weather.

But he is an honest person, if Yu Wen doesn't say anything, he is too embarrassed to ask. Because of Yu Yuan's matter, he had to go to Wei's house in the afternoon, Yu Wen didn't drink, and because the appointment with Wei's house was still early, he didn't break up after dinner, and chatted with fifth uncle about the farmland while drinking tea.

Uncle Seven is a man in his early forties, of medium height, with dark skin, and a strong build. For some reason, he has never married a wife. When Yu Tang came to the farm with his father when he was a child, he often played around with her on his back, and bought her snacks and hair ties, and he liked her very much.

Later, when her parents died, he made a special trip to pay her respects, and even recited the rice several times intermittently to send her off.

Uncle Seven stood outside the door and waved to her.

When Chen Shi and Wang Shi met, they smiled and said to Yu Tang: "Go! Let your seventh uncle take you around the Zhuangzi, so that you won't be bored."

Yu Tang has not seen this seventh uncle since his rebirth.

She smiled and went out the door.

Seventh Uncle took out a simple birdcage that looked like he made it from behind, and said, "I'll play with you."

Yu Tang saw that there were several sparrows locked in the cage.

Most of them were also captured by Uncle Seven.

He even took her to roast sparrows before.

She pursed her lips and smiled, thanked Uncle Seven, and took the birdcage.

Uncle Qi asked her: "I'm going to pick osmanthus later, will you go? I'll make osmanthus candy for you to eat."

Yu Tang didn't really want to go, but she wanted to see the mountains and forests of her uncle's house.

In the previous life, after the mountain forest was sold to the Pei family, the Pei family planted a kind of fruit in the forest, and then made it into candied fruit and sold it. It is said that it sold very well in Hangzhou City. Because of this, Gao often scolded Yu Yuan as a waste, guarding the mountains of gold and silver as waste materials, and actually sold such a good mountain.

When Yu Tang heard about it, he was so angry that he didn't eat for several days, but he had to admit in his heart that the Pei family's steward was very powerful, and such a mountain forest could find a way to make money in the hands of their steward.

In this life, she also wants to give it a try.

Yu Tang carried the birdcage in and handed it over to Chen Shi and Wang Shi, saying, "Let the eldest cousin coax Miss Xiang to play. I'll go pick osmanthus with Uncle Seven."

Mrs. Chen hurriedly told her: "Don't pick it yourself, be careful that you get the flower juice on your hands, it won't wash off for a long time." Not at ease, she called Uncle Seven in and asked him to look at Yu Tang.

Seventh Uncle repeatedly promised.

Yu Tang and Seventh Uncle went to the foot of the mountain where sweet-scented osmanthus was planted.

The green leaves are covered with small yellow flowers.

Uncle Seven gave her a cloth bag and said, "You stand under the shade of the tree while I pick flowers."

Yu Tang responded with a smile.

When Uncle Seven was picking flowers, she stood on tiptoe and looked around and talked to him: "I see walnuts, peaches, and plums in other people's forests. Why is there nothing in our forest?"

Uncle Seven picked sweet-scented osmanthus fragrans nimbly, and said, "The forest in your uncle's house is not good, and the soil quality is particularly bad. Your grandfather once planted walnuts, but the walnuts produced were bitter and astringent, so they couldn't be sold. Later, I planted bamboo shoots again, and a large area of bamboo forest grew, but the bamboo shoots planted were like dry firewood, not to mention those peaches and plums... When your uncle grows up, just let it go and grow a few trees Miscellaneous trees can be sold for some firewood! I don’t know your little girl’s family, but in winter, firewood is also very easy to sell. Even our Lin’an city is in short supply... I heard people say that it is more expensive in Hangzhou city, but your fifth uncle is healthy. No, I don't want to go too far, otherwise I will go to Hangzhou City to sell firewood... "

Yu Tang was a little confused.

Go to Hangzhou City to sell firewood? The firewood sold is not enough for the boat to transport the firewood, right

In her previous life, she never cared about these things, she went in one ear and out the other, and felt that what this seventh uncle said was very interesting. In this life...

Yu Tang smiled wryly and shook his head secretly.

With the experience of her previous life, no matter how she pretended, she couldn't go back to the beginning.

She was arranging the sweet-scented osmanthus that Uncle Seven had picked, and there was a "rustling" sound in her ears, as if someone was coming from the grass.

Yu Tang looked up and saw a few young men who were fooling around.

Seeing Yu Tang, several people's eyes lit up, and they greeted each other with their eyes, and they had bad intentions at first glance.

Yu Tang rang the alarm bell and called Uncle Qi: "Do you know these people?"

Uncle Qi turned around and said with a smile, "Oh, they are some punks from our village. Don't worry about them, they don't dare to do anything!"

Having said that, he looked very nervous, and the flower that could be picked off with a light pinch just now failed to be pulled off after two hard tugs.

Could it be that Uncle Seven has any trouble with them

Yu Tang said anxiously: "Uncle Qi, let's go back! I will accompany Mommy and Auntie to Wei's house later, and I will pick osmanthus with you next time." After finishing speaking, he went to pull Uncle Qi's clothes horn.

The corner of Uncle Seven's mouth trembled, but he said: "No, don't go back, I'll finish picking it in a while."

Something is wrong!

Yu Tang looked over at those gangsters, who were walking towards her quickly.

The momentum is a bit fierce.

Yu Tang went to see Uncle Seven again.

His hand picking flowers was pinching the branch tightly, and his knuckles were white.

Yu Tang suddenly thought of the Li family she had been guarding against...

She ran away.

"Smelly girl, stop!" Those people shouted at her.

Then she was grabbed by the collar.

Yu Tang turned around and saw Uncle Seven's apologetic face.
