"Uncle Wang, is this Uncle Liu?"

After finishing lunch at Liu Zhushan's house, they helped clean up the peanuts piled in the yard. Everyone chatted for a while and left the peppers to Liu Zhushan. Liu Zhushan also took the eggs from his home back to Xu Yuan and Uncle Wang. Then they said goodbye and returned to Hsinchu Village.

By now they were already far away from Zhuhou Village when Xuyuan finally brought up the topic.

“Well, I just didn’t expect it to be such a heavy story. Let’s bring Lao Liu and your uncle Dafu over here some other day. Now that we have encountered these things, let’s not push or pull it.”

Yes, I met Uncle Liu in a town on my way to escape. He looked like a beggar at the time, but he didn’t look very open-minded. I really didn’t expect that he was still a poor man.

"Grandpa Wang, is Grandpa Liu the father of Uncle Zhushan? Does that mean Grandpa Liu will have to live in Zhuhou Village from now on?" Many people were reluctant to let him go. They would not be able to see Grandpa Liu in the future. Wouldn't Grandpa Wang be alone again?

"I'm not sure yet. Let's see how your Grandpa Liu arranges it. What if he moves to our village? Hsinchu Village isn't bad, right?"

The ox cart was gradually moving through the mountains...

At this time in the county town, Tian Dong was so excited when he saw the villagers who reported that the child had been found that he didn't know what to say. The villagers who followed him also looked excited, "Then Dongzi, let's go over there to find the village chief and call people back to the village."

"Okay, you guys go back first. Thank you for your help. Sorry for bothering you."

"Don't get excited, Dongzi. Let's withdraw the case first."

"Well, thank God, Tianle is okay, isn't he hurt anywhere?"

"No, he's healthy. He was rescued by his family."

"Okay, okay, I have to thank the kind-hearted person from that family."

"I don't know either. I was so excited that I rushed out of the village to look for you. I'll ask you when I get back."

"Ahhh, get out of the way."

At this moment, several big men with red and swollen faces rushed over and confronted Tian Dong.

"Oh my, what kind of bee is so poisonous? Tsk tsk tsk." The villager who reported the news and was standing behind Tian Dong was stunned.

"Don't block other people's way. Let's make way for them. Let's take the small road over there and get back to the village as soon as possible."

······

A luxurious carriage was moving slowly on the road. When passers-by on the street saw it, they quickly hid and gave way.

"What's going on? Why is there so much noise outside?" The woman sitting in the carriage, lying on the couch with her eyes narrowed, frowned and spoke coldly.

The maid who was sitting next to the woman and massaging her feet gently put her feet down and quickly stood up. "Miss, I'll go take a look."

Xiao Tao lifted the curtain, asked the coachman outside, and quickly got into the carriage.

"It seems like a group of villagers are looking for someone. There are also a few big men who were stung by bees and are running around the street. They should go to the pharmacy to see a doctor."

"Oh, bad luck."

"Miss, are we still going to the doctor's shop?"

"Forget it, let's go back home and invite the doctor in. Also, is there any news about the group of people we were looking for earlier?"

"Miss, I received the message and will be at the mansion soon."

"Ah."

A breeze blew by, gently opening a corner of the curtain. After a while, a weak cough of a woman was heard from inside. Xiao Tao quickly lowered the curtain and tied it tightly with a rope, opened the cabinet, poured out a pill, and put it into the woman's mouth.

"I've been feeling weaker these past few days. Please find me what I want as soon as possible." The woman swallowed the pill, opened her eyes, and stared sharply at the maid kneeling in front of her.

"Yes, ma'am."

In the corridor of the restaurant on top of the carriage, a young figure leaned against the fence, his ears moved slightly, watching the carriage downstairs gradually go away, and said with thin lips: "It seems that the water in the county is still quite deep. This is a good material."

"Sister, everything is packed, let's go back."

"Okay, let's go."

······

He sped up all the way, excited, and dropped off his fellow villagers. Tian Dong didn't dare to delay for a moment and went straight home. The villagers passing by congratulated him when they saw him coming back.

Tian Dong thanked everyone and stopped in front of his own courtyard gate after a while. He shouted excitedly into the house: "Son, Dad is back!"

"Dad, Tianle is back too!" Tianle's little figure opened the door of his own yard, ran out, and threw himself into Tian Dong's arms.

"Hahahaha, good, our baby son is back. He's still running around." Tian Dong picked up Tianle and walked home leading his donkey.

"Don't run around, just listen to your father."

"You're back. The food is on the table. Come and eat something." Zhang Xiujuan walked out of the kitchen. Seeing that her husband had returned safely, she felt relieved.

"Xiujuan, which family saved our son? I'll go to their house and thank them someday."

"They are villagers from Xinzhu Village. That village is a newly built one. We can't find where the village is. It's very hidden. I don't think it's possible to visit them. I gave all my money to their family. It's not easy for them, an old man with four children."

"Hsinchu Village? Then I really don't know where the village is."

Ask your son. How can such a young child remember where his village is? It only takes you several times to take him there. It is impossible for him to remember the location of Hsinchu Village which you only visited once. It is useless to ask him.

"Yes, but Sister Xuyuan and her family seem to know the great hero Uncle Liu in the village. I heard that Uncle Liu knows Sister Xuyuan's name."

"Really? Well, let's go visit your uncle Liu some other day and ask him to pass it on to the benefactor's family."

"By the way, Dad and Mom, this is a surprise from Sister Xuyuan." After keeping it in his arms for a long time, he was finally able to take it out.

I saw a piece of peanuts wrapped in coarse cloth spread out in front of a few people, with some exposed peanuts next to it.

"This is?"

"Mother, this is delicious. If you plant it in the ground, it will grow a lot of fruit."

Tian Dong was very excited when he saw it, "Peanuts!"

"Mother, I saw them for sale at the grain store in the county town. They're six cents a pound. At Fu Man Lou, a plate of peanuts starts at eight cents."

"Oh my God, this is something that can make money. Why did the girl who made the wish give the seeds to our family? We are really lucky to have met a noble person." When Zhang Xiujuan heard that the seeds could be sold at such a high price, she didn't know what to say for a moment. In her heart, she was very grateful for Xu Yuan's action.

"Son, when should we plant these peanuts? How should we plant them?"

"Sister Xuyuan said that peanuts are best planted when the temperature is warm. Just plant the peanuts in the ground, just like planting vegetable seeds. Just put one or two peanuts in a hole, and don't plant them too densely."

Tian Dong and Zhang Xiujuan listened very carefully, and put away the peanuts and peanut rice spread out on the table as if they were treasures. They took a burlap bag, sealed it completely, and put it in a dry place in the room where they piled up rice bags.

"Next year, we will work hard and save money to send our son to school so that he can become a high-ranking official in the future."

"No, Dad, I don't want to study, I don't want to be an official."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to be a landlord and make sure everyone has enough food and warm clothes."

"You don't want to catch the bad guys?"

"Bad guy? If I want to catch bad guys, do I have to be a high-ranking official?"

"Well·····"
