Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The three members of the Xu family learned from Xu Ruolan that Xu Yiru was used as a shield, and their expressions varied.

Xu Mingzhe looked at his father with some sympathy while feeling relieved. He then glanced at his sister who had betrayed her father, and prayed in his heart that his daughter Zhenzhen would not learn from her aunt.

Xu Yiru decided to think carefully at night about how to be a wise man and how to protect his daughter and granddaughter.

The whole family understands the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure, and the little girl has also discovered new grain varieties from foreign countries. If people knew that these were the ideas of their baby, it would probably be a disaster rather than a blessing.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, please don't tell anyone about Xu'er, even to Big Sister-in-law and Big Brother."

The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. If Xu Ruolan didn't need a few people's help to cover it up, she wouldn't even tell the three of them.

As for Xu Mingli, he was only interested in books of sages when he was young. Whenever his father Xu said something interesting, he would listen to it in one ear and out the other. So even when he heard later that those were what his father had seen and heard, he just thought it was because he had not paid attention.

All three of them nodded carefully.

Afterwards, Liu Xu explained to the three people the identities of her master and Doctor Meng.

Probably because of the previous events, the three of them were much calmer.

"No wonder! Baoer is a lucky man! The former young master of Yunyin Villa, Ye Miaoyin, is said to have kung fu skills that are comparable to her husband, Leader Han. And Doctor Meng, if I'm not mistaken, is the poison doctor Meng Minghui, who is known in the martial arts world for his mastery of both medicine and poison." Xu Yiru said, stroking his beard.

Liu Xu was surprised, "Wow, Grandpa Meng is so awesome!"

"No wonder I felt a lot more relieved after waking up!" Old Madam Xu nodded.

"Dad, if that's the case, why don't you and mom stay at my younger sister's house and ask Elder Meng to treat mom?"

"That's exactly what your father was thinking! Since you are in charge of the business and your wife is in good order, your mother and I will stay at Yueyue's place. First, I will treat your mother's illness, and second,..."

Xu Yiru paused, looked at his wife and said with a smile: "Madam, I think you would also like to spend more time with Yueyue, right?"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Xu nodded, her eyes narrowed into crescents. Upon closer inspection, she looked very similar to Liu Xu when she smiled.

"Little sister, look?"

Xu Ruolan's face was filled with joy, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Brother, this is great! I am very happy that my parents can stay here, and I can be around them more often to show my filial piety. Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

"Hehe, it would be best if grandpa and grandma could live in our house from now on! People say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. This way, we will have two treasures in our family, hahaha!"

"Aren't you a little greedy, girl? Your grandparents are living in your house now, so what about your uncles? And your cousins? If they come crying and look for their grandparents, will you comfort them?" Xu Mingzhe teased.

Liu Xu blinked, "How about we stay together for half a year? Or a year?"

"Hahahahaha" there was a burst of laughter in the room.

The cheerful laughter echoed in the house and spread outside, as if to dispel the severe cold outside. The candlelight trembled slightly in the laughter, reflecting everyone's smiles even brighter.

At this time, night had fallen outside the window, and Aunt Lin came to ask where to have dinner.

There were other people at home, so Xu Ruolan couldn't eat here, but her mother...

"Let's go to the main room. Mother is much better now. It's a good opportunity for us to meet Baoer's master!" Old Madam Xu took the initiative to say.

The Xu family father and son also nodded.

There was a lively atmosphere at the dinner table. After the meal, Liu Laishun mentioned that after the Little New Year, he would move to the old house and then return to Tuqiao Village.

Xu Ruolan and her mother had no objection and only asked Uncle He to arrange someone to help when the time came.

Thinking that tomorrow is the Little New Year, as the saying goes:

On the twenty-third, the sugar melons are sticky, and the Kitchen God sends a message to heaven.

Praying for peace and hoping for a good harvest, every family is busy welcoming the New Year.

Sweep the house, wipe the window sills, and make it tidy and clean to show a new look.

Prepare New Year’s goods, buy Spring Festival couplets, and create a sweet and joyful atmosphere.

"Mom, grandpa and grandma, uncle, master, aunt, how about we go to the market together tomorrow? Yuyang Town must be very lively again!"

"Junior sister, have you been there before?"

"Yeah, my dad takes me there every year, there are so many things for sale and so many people!"

"Then...Mom, shall we go?" Han Duoduo pulled her mother's sleeve and said coquettishly.

The adults smiled at each other and agreed.

The next day, the workshop took a collective break, and Liu Xu's family went to the town with the villagers to buy New Year's goods.

The whole family, young and old, took four cars.

She said she was buying New Year's goods, but in fact she was going to feel the atmosphere of the New Year, especially the catkins. After all, this was something she had never experienced in her previous life.

Today's market in Yuyang Town is supposed to be a small one, but because of the Little New Year, it is extremely lively, no less than the big market.

There are many shops and stalls on both sides of the street, selling rouge and powder, exquisite accessories, and handmade toys. There are also stalls selling Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, all in red, which looks particularly festive.

People shuttled between the stalls, laughter and joy echoed in the air, and the strong flavor of the New Year filled the air.

The snack vendors shouted enthusiastically.

"Baozi, freshly baked buns, thin skin and lots of fillings, delicious and inexpensive."

"Candy, sweet and sour candy, three cents a string, five cents for two strings."

"Yangchun noodles, Yangchun noodles..."

Liu Xu and Qiao Yun ran to the candy seller and bought a string of candies per person, leaving half of the haystack empty.

The candy was the candied haws from her previous life. Liu Xu picked up a string and put it in her mouth. The long-lost sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes happily.

The adults who followed behind also had a bunch of them stuffed into their mouths by each person, and they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Little Ruyi looked at what the lady had stuffed into her hand, licked it secretly, and a warm and shy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Dong'er saw it and felt warm in her heart. The little lady was as kind as the young lady. After leaving that wolf's den, they, mother and daughter, would be getting better and better.

Liu Xu took Qiao Yun to look around. Xu Ruolan was worried about their safety, so she asked He Lei to follow them, and Liu Fukang also went with them.

Along with them came two little kids, Little Fred and Little Xi Bao, who followed their mothers with candies in their hands, licking the candies as they walked, just like cats.

Passing by a dim sum shop, Liu Xu asked someone to buy some cakes, intending to eat them later and order some as gifts for the workers in the workshop.

I went to the study and bought some red paper. Their grandparents are all at home. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could go back home and write on it and paste it?

The three members of the Xu family haven't had such an experience for a long time.

But the small town is not as good as the county town after all, and we finished walking around it soon. Plus, there were a few elderly people and they really couldn’t walk anymore.

The group started to walk back. During every market day, ox carts and horse carts were restricted from entering the city. Today was the New Year's Eve, and there were more people, so all of them were left behind at the carriage and horse area.

As I was walking, I heard a commotion ahead. Then I saw a skinny boy running towards me, dodging left and right. Behind him, a man was chasing him and shouting "Catch the thief" and "Catch the thief".

Just as they were about to collide with them, Han Duoduo jumped up and kicked them to the ground.

The people around were quiet for a moment, and the man who was chasing came over breathlessly, and first said a few simple words of thanks.

Then he kicked the boy who was lying on the ground fiercely, "I told you not to steal my wallet, I told you not to steal it! You little bastard, you are so young and you don't learn your lesson, you only do petty thefts!"

The boy curled up his body, protecting his head tightly, but said nothing.

Some of the people around looked distressed, while others whispered and criticized the boy's behavior.
