Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

After hearing Shuisheng's words, everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

Willow Catkins shook his head, "But I want to save more seeds before winter comes!"

"Everyone in this room is our own family. We are the closest people, so I won't hide anything from you! Dad and Second Uncle told us before they left that the emperor is not in good health and the government has been a bit turbulent since the second half of last year. Now I'm afraid... So, I plan to store as much food as possible in case of emergency."

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Liu Xu continued, "I originally wanted to take these to the farm to plant, but I thought about it again. Although the farm is mine, those tenants...if they let out any information, then nothing good will happen to us!"

"Xu girl, are you planning to plant it in Liujia Village?" Liu Changshun understood a little.

Liu Xu nodded and said to several male elders: "Yes! Grandpa, Grandpa, Third Uncle, Uncle, Liu Village are all our clansmen. No matter what, we are all on the same boat. Since we can't run away, let's be like a rope!"

"But there are outsiders coming in and out of our village every day!" Liu Dashan frowned.

"This is easy. Our village only has one road leading to the outside. I plan to build a sentry post at the entrance of the village, and build a wall, a gate, and a reception hall."

"From now on, all outsiders will not be allowed to enter without permission. All transactions will be completed in the reception hall. To the outside world, we can use a ready-made excuse! Didn't Uncle Dazhu's bean sprouts get copied by someone?"

Xu Yiru stroked his beard and nodded in agreement: "Bao'er, this idea is good! Liujia Village is in a unique location. The surrounding mountains and rivers surround it like a big-bellied earthenware jar. If we plant something secretly, it will be hard for people to find out."

"Indeed, but the mountain on the south is not high. Nanpo Village is just over it. What if they do something bad?" Liu Dashan said worriedly.

"Then let's build two sentry posts there! But we have to build them quietly to avoid being noticed by those with ulterior motives!" said Liu Xu.

"We need to discuss this matter with the clan leader first!" Liu Laishun added.

"Of course. I just wanted to inform my family first! Brothers and sisters, please don't let anything slip, especially those of you who are in school!" Liu Xu said to his peers at the table.

"That can't be possible. Have you forgotten how well we, the mushrooms, have kept this secret?" Shuisheng said, patting his chest.

Liu Xu looked at Liu Fukang again, "Little cousin, what about you?"

Liu Fukang pointed at himself with his eyes wide open, "Xu'er, why are you asking me alone? Why don't you ask my brother, sister, and sister Duoduo?"

"Because we are older than you, we are more reliable than you!" Duoduo replied.

Liu Fukang's eyes widened. "Who are you kidding! Since when did reliability have anything to do with age? Xu'er, when did I, your cousin, ever become unreliable? When you were in Tuqiao Village..."

"Stop, I get it, you are very reliable!"

Liu Xu suddenly remembered that one year before Liu Xu came, the original owner went to her aunt's house to play with her parents. She met Aunt Wu who said bad things about her mother behind her back. The girl was so angry that she and Liu Fukang threw stones into the pit while Aunt Wu was using the toilet, splashing the woman with rice. Afterwards, they quietly returned home and no one knew about it until now.

Aunt Wu was so angry that she cursed all afternoon.

Although she didn't do this, if it were to be told now, it would be a loss of face for her, okay?

Liu Fukang calmed down after hearing this.

Seeing that the other brothers and sisters, and even the adults, were all looking at her, Liu Xu quickly changed the subject and said, "I will ask my eldest grandfather to come over to discuss this matter tomorrow morning. By then, my grandfather, my grandfather, my third uncle, and my uncle should all come over early."

"I'm afraid we need to ask a few elders for help on this matter?" Liu Dashan said.

Liu Xu: "Let's talk to Grandpa first. Once Grandpa agrees, we can invite the elders over!"

"Okay, then let's go back today and everyone should keep their mouths shut. This concerns the lives and property of all of us!" Liu Dashan said seriously.

"Don't worry, uncle. We know what's going on!" Liu Changshun nodded.

The others also nodded cautiously. Even Mrs. Zhang, the old lady whom Liu Xu thought was the most unreliable, had a tense look on her face.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, so Liu Changshun and his family went straight back to the next door.

Xu Ruolan asked Uncle He to send someone with lanterns to take Liu Dashan and the others back, but Liu Dashan refused. "Your sister and brother-in-law are here. The road is paved with cobblestones now, so it's easy to walk. Don't worry!"

"But Fulin..." Xu Ruolan was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Ruolan, it's only a few steps. Your brother-in-law will carry him, Fukang will hold the lamp, and Hongying and I will support our parents. It won't be a problem!" Liu Xiumei also advised.

Seeing that they insisted, Xu Ruolan did not persuade them anymore, "Okay then! Slow down!"

After sending them to the door, he went back to the house.

The others went to the main room to look after the two children. Xu Yiru and his wife played with Ye Miaoyin and her daughter for a while before returning to the room to wash up and rest.

The catkins stayed in the house. The two children are now eight months old and can sit and crawl, and can also babbling and chat with people.

Especially Yuandun'er, he is a chatterbox and has a quick temper. If he talks to you for a few words and you don't reply, he will get very impatient.

The people who took care of the room were replaced by Zimo and Ziling, and Yue Niang took Xibao and Aunt Lin downstairs to eat.

Little Fu Rui stood in front of the kang, talking to the two Dun'er in a muttered voice.

Liu Xu found it very interesting. Although they were in different languages, both sides seemed to understand each other.

"Ah, ah!" Fatty, or Xu Ge'er, looked at Liu Xu, and suddenly turned over and sat up, stretching his hands towards her, as if to say, "Sister, hug me!"

Liu Xu stepped forward and stretched out her hands to pick the person up. Wow, the guy was really heavy. Fortunately, she was practicing martial arts, otherwise she would not be able to hold him steadily.

The little guy came into his sister's arms, held her face and started chewing it, then leaned on Liu Xu's neck and talked.

Brother Hao was unhappy when he saw this, and he rubbed against this side, howling non-stop. Brother Xu turned around to look at his brother, uttered a few words, and turned his head to continue biting his sister's face. Liu Chenghao seemed to be angry, and kept making a sound, and even stretched out his hand to hit the kang.

Everyone in the room was laughing. Xu Ruolan saw this scene when she entered the room, and her eyes softened. Now her family has been found, her parents are by her side, and Dong'er is back. Her husband and children are all well, and she feels very happy.

And all of this was mostly because of her precious daughter. Therefore, Xu Ruolan looked at Liu Xu with a softer look in her eyes.

However, this softness was interrupted by a loud dry howl.

"Haha, what's wrong with our Yuandun?" Xu Ruolan walked into the house with a smile.

Hearing his mother coming, Liu Chenghao howled even louder, pointing at his brother and sister and complaining "ahhhh", as if his sister hugged his brother and not him.

It's a pity that there was only thunder but no rain, which was very funny to watch. Only Xiao Furui was very anxious and kept comforting the young master.

Xu Ruolan had no choice but to go forward and pick up her little son. But the boy was so good that he rushed to his sister while being held by his mother.

Liu Xu had no choice but to discuss with Xu Ge'er, "Fatty, let mommy hold you, and sister can hold me, okay?"

Brother Xu didn't say anything, he just hugged his sister's neck.

Liu Xu was helpless, Xu Ruolan smiled, "Fatty, come to mommy for a hug, okay? Mommy misses us, Fatty!"

Brother Xu seemed to understand. He looked at his sister reluctantly before reaching out to his mother.

Xu Ruolan picked up Xu Ge'er and handed Hao Ge'er to Liu Xu, and the howling finally stopped.

Then, Liu Xu was covered in saliva by his younger brother. Liu Xu seriously doubted whether he would grow saliva moss in the future!

Liu Xu didn't stay for long and went back to her room to rest at about 11:00 p.m.

The night in March is still a little chilly, but because of the good weather, we can see a crescent moon in the sky, surrounded by stars. It looks like tomorrow will be sunny again!
