Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The second and third days of the Chinese New Year are the days when daughters and their husbands go home. Liu Xu's grandparents and uncles are all at her house, so she doesn't have to go around.

However, Liu Xiumei's family came to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone had a lively meal.

During this period, Liu Xiumei talked about her son's legs, saying that Dr. Meng had checked them and that he was recovering well and would be able to practice walking in two months.

Liu Xu and her mother were very happy.

Liu Xu calculated that in half a month or so, Liu Dongcheng's legs and feet should be healed. As it would still be cold in the spring, she had to remind them to clean up the house and build the fire wall first.

After hearing that Liu Fulin's leg had recovered well and Liu Xiumei's family left, Xu Ruolan called Dong'er into the house.

"Dong'er, I would like to ask Doctor Meng to take a look at you to see if your broken leg can be reconnected. But the process will be a bit painful, are you willing to try it?" Xu Ruolan asked gently, holding Dong'er's hand.

Dong'er's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she nodded heavily and replied: "Dong'er is not afraid, but Miss, this will cost a lot of money, right? Dong'er..." She only had the money from selling the house and the New Year's money that the young lady and the lady gave to her and her mother, and she was afraid that it would not be enough.

"I'll take care of the money. Tell me, are you willing to give it a try?"

She has been seeing Dong'er's situation these days. Whenever she wants to help herself, her lame leg becomes an obstacle, and Dong'er feels very guilty about it.

She felt that in her current state, she couldn't even help the young lady hold the child or fetch water.

So Dong'er often stayed in the house helping Xu Ruolan with needlework.

Hearing Xu Ruolan say this, Dong'er didn't even think about it and nodded immediately: "I am willing to give it a try. If it works, Dong'er will be able to help the young lady in the future."

Xu Ruolan nodded with satisfaction and added, "I'll go back and ask Doctor Meng to make you some scar removal medicine. Even if it can't completely remove it, it'll be good to lighten it!"

"Miss...you are so kind to me!" Dong'er looked at Xu Ruolan with red eyes, but she tried hard to hold back her tears.

People said crying in the first month of the lunar year was unlucky, and she couldn't let the young lady be unlucky.

"We grew up together. Although we are master and servant in name, we have long been as close as sisters. Isn't it my duty to be nice to you?" Xu Ruolan said with a smile.

"Oh, right, Ruyi is still young, and she suffered so much before. Xuer told me to let you keep her with you first, and wait until she is older before serving Xuer."

Dong'er was a little nervous when she heard this, "But what did Ruyi do wrong? Miss, please tell the young lady that if Ruyi did something wrong, the young lady will punish her."

Xu Ruolan patted her hands quickly, "Don't think too much, Ruyi did nothing wrong. It was Xuer who said that Ruyi looked like a three or four-year-old child. Every time she saw Ruyi helping with something, she felt guilty."

I thought of what my daughter said, "Every time you see me, you feel like I'm the evil female supporting role!"

When Liu Xu said this, seeing that Xu Ruolan didn't understand, she explained it to her.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruolan couldn't help but laugh out loud. This made Dong'er also confused, so Xu Ruolan quickly explained it to her.

Dong'er was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, but she also agreed to keep Ruyi by her side.

It would be good for her to teach personally. She is the young lady's personal maid, and her daughter will be the young lady's personal maid in the future. That's good.

Time flies and it is the fifth day. The weather is nice and it has been sunny for several days in a row.

Knowing that Liu Xu was going on a picnic, Han Duoduo naturally wanted to go with her.

When the Xu family children found out, they also wanted to go. Liu Xu didn't want to take them with her, but the old man and her two uncles agreed to let her go.

Xu Yiru said, "Take them all with you. Children should play with other children. It's no use for them to follow adults!"

Xu Mingzhe said, "Bao'er, take them with you. You didn't take them to ask for red envelopes last time, and Lin'er and Nannan were so angry that they skipped a bowl of rice."

Xu Mingli also said: "Bao'er, take them with you. What's wrong with boys staying at home? Yang'er and Rui'er like you so much, can you bear to leave them behind?"

Liu Xu felt helpless. She looked at her grandmother and two aunts, especially her second aunt Yuan Hui. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in her eyes, she nodded in agreement.

"I will let Brother He Feng and Brother He Lei come with us. We will play at Beilinpo in the back. Those who came today are all my good friends. I believe that the previous incident will not happen again!"

"Don't worry, I'm still here for you!" Han Duoduo said.

"Okay, let's go get the baskets. There are more of us, so we need to bring more things."

All the children immediately jumped and ran to the kitchen, making the adults laugh and cry.

"Xu'er, I'm going to hunt some pheasants and rabbits for lunch later. You can bring some seasonings and we can grill them now?" Han Duoduo felt a little greedy.

"Okay! Let Brother He Lei go with you." Liu Xu said while packing her things.

"That's great, we can kill a few more!"

Before leaving, Xu Zeyu said, "Cousin, why don't we take Young Master Yang with us? He doesn't have many friends here."

"Ah? But can he eat these Dingxi?" Liu Xu didn't want to bring Xiao Yan with him. This was a fucking big Buddha. If he bumped into something, he might lose his head.

"Oh, yes, little sister, take him with you. It's okay if he eats less! Otherwise, he will stay in Grandpa Meng's yard all day long, which will be quite pitiful." Han Duoduo looked sympathetic.

Liu Xu sighed helplessly, "Then go ask Uncle Yan. If Uncle Yan agrees, and Xiao Yan wants to come, then bring him along!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. Zeyu, you carry it!" After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Liu Xu asked Granny Fang to cut a lot of braised meat, bacon, sausage, and blood sausage, and also packed some beef jerky, and also brought a lot of homemade snacks and tangerines. Then, she took the children up the mountain.

Nannan and Ze Rui were too young, so the He Feng brothers each held one in their arms and carried a basket in their hands.

Liu Xu picked up one and Xu Zeyu picked up two each, but fortunately they were not heavy.

I went out and called Xing'er and his sister next door. The two of them didn't bring their little followers today and each carried a basket.

On the way, Xing'er told Liuxu that they brought radish meatballs, braised chicken (the braised sauce was given by Liuxu's family), tofu meatballs fried by her mother, as well as persimmons and dates.

Liu Xu secretly took a tofu ball and ate it. It was not as delicious as in her previous life, but it was already great in this era!

"By the way, we also brought some hot soy milk, so you can drink some if you are thirsty later."

"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me... Brother He Lei, could you go home and get a... um, a kettle for boiling water?"

"No problem, leave it to me." He Lei responded without turning his head.

When the group arrived, quite a few people had already arrived. Someone had brought a drying mat from someone's house and placed it on a flat, open area, with food on one side and the babies (aged 1-3) that they had brought with them on the other.

The He brothers put the two younger ones down and went about their respective duties.
