Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

After telling these trivial things, he stood there quietly, his eyes gentle and complex, full of infinite attachment and reluctance to leave this warm little nest.

Seeing her son like this, Sun Wan felt mixed emotions, helpless and distressed.

When she saw her eldest son trying to help deliver the medicine clumsily but being stopped by the maid due to his poor skills and having the maid complete the task for him, the strong mother couldn't help but smile. She just waved her hand and asked Rongze to go play with his younger brother to relieve her little frustration.

Su Xu was practicing martial arts in the yard. When he saw his brother coming, he immediately smiled happily.

The relationship between the two brothers has always been very close. Even though they are together almost every day, they still get great satisfaction and happiness from every gathering.

Seeing Rong Ze approaching, Su Xu warmly invited his brother to join the practice. As the sweat intertwined, the two young hearts gradually synchronized to form a more closely coordinated rhythm.

Su Guiying prefers to stick to her mother.

Since her living environment has improved, she has gradually begun to pay attention to the issue of her own image, and as a result, she has become more well-behaved and charming.

The first thing the little girl did after returning home at the end of the day was to run to her mother excitedly to share what she had learned in school. "Mom, our teacher taught us how to play the piano today!"

Although her performance was not good due to her weak foundation, she did not lose her passion for this art form. On the contrary, she is working hard to become one of the top players in the class as soon as possible.

More importantly, today a classmate named "Wang" showed her extraordinary kindness and even directly invited her to play together in the future. "But my foundation is not good, and my playing is not very good. But there is a little girl named Wang who is very friendly to me and even invited me to her home to play."

After saying this, the little girl raised her head and looked at her mother for approval, revealing a subtle but very real glimmer of expectation.

Faced with her daughter's innocent yet slightly uneasy look, Sun Wan responded with a gentle smile and encouraged her to actively make friends and expand her social circle, but at the same time she also reminded the child to always remain humble and polite so as not to give others a bad impression.

"Just go if someone invites you. It's a good thing to make more friends. Remember to be polite when you're at someone's house and don't lose your composure."

After hearing these instructions, Su Guiying nodded excitedly to show her understanding and approval.

The next day, after getting her mother's approval, Su Guiying happily began to prepare for going out.

In fact, the geographical distance between their two homes is not far, and they can quickly reach their destination by walking.

However, considering the influence of various factors such as her family's status and external pressure, Qinglian, the maid who faithfully accompanied her, insisted on taking a luxurious carriage. "Miss, we must go out in a grand manner."

She explained seriously, "You are no longer an ordinary girl. If you were seen walking there, it would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary speculation and discussion."

The fear of being ridiculed and mocked by others for her inappropriate behavior made the little princess' face, which was originally full of confidence and radiance, instantly darken. In the end, she had to reluctantly agree and choose to follow the suggestion. "Okay, let's go in the carriage."

Seeing this, the attentive servant immediately set about dressing the young lady carefully. While selecting suitable jewelry, he looked at her beautiful face reflected in the mirror and praised her: "Young lady, you are getting more and more beautiful. You are worthy of being the daughter of a great general!"

Hearing this compliment, Su Guiying smiled shyly.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you think my father is handsome? My mother is also very beautiful, but she has suffered a lot, and her blind eyes often make others ignore her beauty."

Qinglian and Qingsui exchanged a glance and said hurriedly, "How could that be! Even though Madam has gone through a lot of hardships, her beauty can still be seen from her eyebrows and eyes. Moreover, Madam has a special temperament that makes people know at first glance that she is a very good person."

After hearing this, Su Guiying felt very happy and nodded heavily, saying, "You are absolutely right!"

Then he made arrangements, "Qinglian, you will accompany me to the Wang family today; Qingsui, don't forget to make a bowl of red date porridge that my mother loves tonight. I will bring it to her personally when I return."

The two maids quickly agreed, and Qingsui smiled and praised, "Young lady is really filial!"

Su Guiying blushed when she was praised like this.

After dressing up, Su Guiying took Qinglian to the Wang family.

Because they had been notified in advance, the servants of the Wang family came to greet them as soon as they saw them and led them directly to the inner courtyard.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I could hear the laughter of girls in the distance, as sweet as wind chimes.

"It seems that Miss Wang has invited someone else besides me today?"

Su Guiying asked with a little surprise.

The maid who led the way smiled and explained, "Yes, the master has invited a few close friends to hold a small party today. They just arrived here too."

When Su Guiying learned that the theme of the party was actually reciting poems and writing essays, she suddenly felt a little worried.

Because she was a late learner, she had no knowledge at all when she was young, let alone something as difficult as writing poetry.

My heart was pounding, and I was trying to find a suitable reason to quit.

At this time, Qinglian whispered a reminder: "Since you are here, it would be impolite to turn back now."

"I believe that Sister Wang is aware of your situation. She invited you here for a special reason and will not put you in an awkward position."

"Go in bravely. It's better to be frank than to be timid and be laughed at."

Su Guiying felt that these words made a lot of sense.

After encouraging herself, she turned to the maid who was leading the way and said, "I know the way here. Please leave first."

Seeing the little girl smiling and greeting as she left despite feeling a little embarrassed, Su Guiying breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.

The laughter inside became louder and louder, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Just as I was about to step through the door, a familiar yet extremely annoying voice came into my ears.

"Just now I heard the maids talking about it. Did they really call that Su Guiying over?"

Su Guiying was very familiar with this voice - it was made by Bai Jinyu, the daughter of General Bai in the school. She always looked at her with contempt every time she saw her.

Then came Ms. Wang Zixia's response: "Indeed, she lives nearby. Since she doesn't play the piano very well, I just mentioned it casually."

"I'm surprised you're so kind and have the time to teach such a vulgar person."

Before he finished speaking, a burst of shrill, sarcastic laughter suddenly erupted in the yard.

Then, someone chimed in bluntly, "Hey, stop talking about this country girl. When I mention her, I think of her dark complexion."

"It was so dark, when I first saw her I thought she had just crawled out of a coal mine!"
