If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Shortly after breakfast the next day, Meixiang and the other two came to the next village again. This time, Meixiang did not go to Old Man Liu's house, but waited at the entrance of the back mountain with Xiaosan to call Meiying and Liu Daniu and his wife.

Liu Ersao, who was waiting anxiously at home, did not see Meixiang. Meiying had a sullen face and ignored her, so she had to watch the eldest brother and his wife and their three companions leave.

"Ms. Liu, the second brother and his wife offended you yesterday. Dad scolded them yesterday." The first thing Liu Daniu and his wife did after seeing Meixiang was to explain and apologize.

Meixiang smiled and turned to walk towards the back hill without answering. She was a little annoyed yesterday but not too angry. She ignored them just to let them know that she was not as easy to control and talk to as she appeared to be. Liu Daniu and his wife looked at each other, sighed, and cursed the second brother and his wife in their hearts.

Liu Daniu and his wife led the way and the group walked very quickly. After more than half an hour, they saw the small wooden house mentioned by Mrs. Liu from a distance. As expected, the trees around the wooden house were trimmed very neatly and in an orderly manner. From a distance, this area looked like a world of its own. Meixiang had not even seen him, but she had already decided that she liked this Uncle Liu.

This feeling became stronger and stronger as we got closer to the wooden cabin. Although life was hard, a person who worked hard and lived diligently deserves love and respect.

Liu Daniu went forward and knocked on the door. They were lucky today. Soon a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties came out of the wooden house. He saw Liu Dazhuang knocking on the door through the half-person-high wooden fence. He was visibly stunned for a moment, but still quickly came to the gate of the courtyard.

"Uncle Liu is me, the eldest son of the Liu family at the back of the village. You saved my husband and me a few days ago. Do you remember?" Liu Dazhuang hurriedly explained when he saw Uncle Liu opening the wooden door of the yard.

Uncle Liu glanced at him and nodded. He glanced at Meixiang and others behind him, then looked at Liu Dazhuang with an inquiring look.

"This is Miss Liu from the next village and her two followers. She wants to talk to you about something. Do you think it would be convenient for you to have a brief chat?" Liu Dazhuang asked with a slightly nervous tone. He really couldn't guarantee whether Uncle Liu would give him face.

Uncle Liu took another look at the girl who was about ten years old. She was young but had a calm temperament, especially her eyes were so clear that he could see his reflection in them. He lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to open the door.

Meixiang stepped into the courtyard. Just as Mrs. Liu said, there was a vegetable garden on the west side of the road in the courtyard, where various farm vegetables and some unknown wild vegetables were planted. On the east side of the road was a medicinal field where various common medicinal herbs were planted. Around the vegetable garden and the medicinal field, there were small saplings half a person's height. Some of the branches had new buds, and some had already grown new leaves.

Walking along the path between the vegetable garden and the medicinal field, we came to the door of the wooden house. There were three rooms in total in this wooden house. The middle one was the main room, and there was a bedroom and a kitchen on each side. Uncle Liu invited everyone into the main room and brought two knee-high logs from outside as temporary benches for everyone to sit down at the table. He also brought tea bowls from the kitchen. Meixiang took a closer look and was pleasantly surprised. There were a few small green leaves floating in the clear light green tea in the bowl. She took a sip and found it was unexpectedly delicious.

"Uncle Liu, may I ask what kind of leaves are in this tea bowl?" Meixiang asked Uncle Liu with starry eyes.

"Yes, yes, ahem..." Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, Uncle Liu coughed twice and continued, "I found it by accident from a small tree. I didn't expect you would like it too."

"Yeah, I like it," Meixiang nodded repeatedly. After drinking it in one breath, she handed the empty tea bowl to Liu Bo, with a look on her face that showed she wanted more.

Liu Bo looked at the little girl in front of him, and a rare smile appeared on his expressionless face all year round. He stood up and refilled her water. "If you like it, I still have some. Take it back and drink it slowly when you leave."

Meixiang took the tea bowl with a smile and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her: "Uncle Liu, I asked Brother Dazhuang and Sister-in-law to bring me to you today because I want to ask you about something. I won't beat around the bush, I want to kidnap you!"

"laugh......"

"Cough cough cough..."

Everyone patted their chests and coughed, obviously choking. Uncle Liu was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had ever seen a girl speak so directly, so directly that it was hard to understand. "Miss Liu, what do you mean?"

"It means literally. I want to ask Uncle Liu to help me plant trees." Meixiang continued, "I opened a dyeing workshop with Mr. Sun from the Sun Family Cloth Shop in the next village. The raw materials for dyeing are extracted from plants in the back mountain. In order to avoid large-scale felling of trees and damaging the back mountain, we made an agreement at the beginning of the cooperation that 'cut one tree and plant one, cut two trees and plant a pair'."

"But what does this have to do with me?" Liu Bo continued dumbfounded...

Meixiang quietly rolled her eyes: "Of course it matters, I can't find anyone who can plant trees!" Then she sat up straight, her expression becoming solemn and serious, "Uncle Liu, I heard Uncle Liu tell me about you at Brother Dazhuang's house yesterday, but I think there's no point in you waiting like this. No matter what the result is, the living have to live on, right?"

Seeing Uncle Liu getting a little impatient, Meixiang interrupted him and continued to give him some strong advice: "Uncle Liu, I have my own guards who often go to the inner area of ​​the back mountain. If you are interested and your physical condition allows, we can take you in for a walk. I also have two animals that like to dress up as puppies in tiger and wolf skins. They are said to be little tigers and little white wolves. They understand human nature quite well. You can ask them to help find it. There are more than a dozen children in the Liu Mansion, and the youngest is less than three years old. If you like, you can ask them to accompany you more. You are too lonely here, Uncle Liu."

Uncle Liu, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head when he heard these words, staring at Meixiang with red eyes, like a person who had been floating in the water for a long time and suddenly found a piece of driftwood that could bring him to the shore, or like a person who had lost his soul for a long time and suddenly found his soul. He came alive, "Miss Liu, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. Aunt Li from the Liu Mansion is a great cook, and her wontons are absolutely amazing." Meixiang tried her best to lure Uncle Liu back to the Liu Mansion.

Liu Bo also felt Meixiang's sincerity and kindness. The key point was that he really fell in love with this girl at first sight. She was right in saying that he was too lonely here.
