Crossing Over to Yamada Love

"Really?" Xiao San'er's eyes brightened at Mo Lan's words.

"Yes." Mo Lan nodded emphatically to him.

Having received Mo Lan's approval, the little guy's lips curled up, and he gave Mo Lan a smile.

Looking at his smile, Mo Lan felt a pang of heartache. That smile was so sweet, so full of contentment. Just because his sister said she liked being with him the most, he was as happy as if he had received the most wonderful thing in the world.

Mo Lan gently ruffled his hair, then took his small, thin hand and continued walking forward.

After passing the village entrance, Mo Lan did not stop. There were more and more trees on both sides, and the road was not very good. Mo Lan looked at Xiao San'er, who was following closely behind her, and stopped to observe.

The road she chose today wasn't the main road leading to the town, but a small path leading to the mountains behind the village. Their village has four roads: one leading to the town, one to the neighboring Tianwangsi Village, and the other two leading to the mountains, only the two mountains are different.

Ever since Mo Lan received the original owner's memories, she had longed to come and see this mountain. Now, standing here looking up at the mountains, the lush greenery filled her with joy.

Before she was 25 in that life, if you asked her what was in the mountains, she would definitely tell you: what else could be in the mountains besides trees and grass? Or animals.

But after that year of married life, if you ask her again what's in the mountains, she'll loudly tell you: the mountains are full of treasures. As for what kind of treasures? Hehe, I can't tell you now.

"Sister, what are we doing here?" Xiao San'er's words interrupted Mo Lan's thoughts.

"Hehe, I brought Xiao San'er here because I saw so many green trees on this mountain. Xiao San'er must be tired." Mo Lan pinched the little guy's cheek.

"Little San'er isn't tired. Little San'er is here with his sister. Seeing the green trees makes me feel good." The little guy let Mo Lan rub his little face.

"Hehe, feels good, right? I'll bring you here whenever you have time, okay?"

"Yes, Little San'er is coming with me." The little guy nodded emphatically.

Mo Lan led Xiao San'er around for a while, then started walking back. The original owner of this mountain had never been inside before, because the adults in her family told her that there were poisonous snakes and wild beasts in the mountains, and children were not allowed to go into the mountains. In addition, it was not close to her home, so she had never been there.

I wonder if the mountains here are the same as those of that era? They're all mountains, so the things they produce should be pretty much the same, right? Mo Lan thought to herself.

There are also fields, mostly planted with rice, followed by soybeans, corn, and sorghum. It seems similar to Northeast China at that time, but the temperature is warmer.

Wheat seems to be grown very little here. Why don't people grow it? Peanuts are also a good thing. I wonder if they grow them here? Anyway, the original owner had never eaten them or even seen them.

I need to go to the fields sometime. This seems to be fertile black soil. If we cultivate the land well, we won't have to worry about food. When I have money in the future, I'll definitely buy more land, and it would be best if I could even buy the mountains. At that time, good food and money will come pouring in!

Mo Lan began to dream happily.

"Sister, there's a pit ahead." Little San'er pulled her sister back from her dream.

Mo Lan looked and realized how close she had come to disaster. There was a pit in front of her. Although it wasn't very big, if she had stepped into it without any preparation, she definitely wouldn't have been able to stand steadily. Not only would she have fallen, but she would have also brought Xiao San down with her.

I can't think about it anymore; it's pointless to think about anything now. I need to focus on walking the path ahead first before worrying about anything else.

"Thank you, little San'er, otherwise I would have definitely fallen." After saying that, Mo Lan gave the little guy a big kiss on the cheek.

"No, no, you're welcome." Xiao San'er's face turned red because of Mo Lan's actions, and she stammered out just those two words.

"He's so cute," Mo Lan thought, gently rubbing the little boy's cheek. "Mmm, mmm." She was growing to love her adorable younger brother more and more.

The little boy's face was flushed. He let his older sister bully him and walked with his head down, following Mo Lan. But his big eyes were always shining.

Haha, Mo Lan's cheerful laughter echoed all the way home. Following the sound of her laughter, Mo Lan took Xiao San'er home.

Looking at the mud-brick houses in front of her, Mo Lan took a deep breath and vowed that one day her family would live in a spacious and bright tiled house.

"Grandma, we're back." Mo Lan walked into the yard and found Wang Shi feeding the chickens.

"Hmm, where did they all go to play?" Wang asked Mo Lan and Xiao San'er while feeding the chickens.

"My sister took me to see the green trees, and Xiao San'er really enjoyed looking at them," Xiao San'er answered Wang Shi's question first.

“Look at the trees. Have you gone up the mountain?” Wang asked, her brows furrowing slightly.

"No, I took Xiao San'er to see it on the way. It's still a long way from the mountain," Mo Lan quickly replied. She didn't want her grandmother to think it was dangerous for her to go out and restrict her from going out. Otherwise, she would cry her eyes out.

"Well, it's good that you didn't go. The mountains are dangerous, not a place for children like you." Wang Shi Su frowned, but didn't forget to remind the two of her own shortcomings.

"Yes, I definitely won't go!" Mo Lan promised, but in her heart she thought, "Of course I'll go! How am I supposed to earn money if I don't go up the mountain? Grandma, I'm so sorry, your lovely granddaughter didn't mean to lie to you. I just want to contribute to the family. So please don't blame me for lying today."

"Where are Mother and the others?" Mo Lan asked, looking at the empty courtyard.

“Your mother and your eldest aunt are cooking, Erlang went out to gather firewood, and Mei is embroidering in the room,” Wang said, recounting everything.

"Oh, the master and the others haven't come back yet. Where are the second mistress and the third aunt? Shouldn't they be working too?" Mo Lan frowned.

Wang gestured towards the second wife's side and said, "She said she's been tired these past two days, her back hurts, and she's resting on the kang (heated brick bed)."

Mo Lan pouted. "You've only been doing this for two days and your back is already hurting? Grandma and Mom do it every day, aren't they tired? Laziness is laziness, don't make excuses. Wait until we separate, then let's see if you'll still be doing it!"

"I'll feed the milk for you." Mo Lan walked into Wang Shi's house and took the chicken basin from her hands.

"No need, don't get involved. Go play with Xiao San'er, or go keep your uncle and sister company." Wang quickly moved the chicken pot away, not letting Mo Lan touch it.

"Then Xiao San'er and I will go see Uncle first." After saying that, Mo Lan led Xiao San'er into Mo Changhai's house.

"Yes," Wang replied, but her eyes remained fixed on Mo Lan's retreating figure, remaining silent for a long time.

Pushing open the door, Mo Lan saw her uncle, Mo Changhai, half-lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), reading a book.

Lying around like this all the time, even a healthy person can get sick. Mo Lan thought to herself, but gave Mo Changhai a sweet smile.

"Uncle, are you feeling better? Does it hurt less now?" Mo Lan led Xiao San'er to the front of the kang (a heated brick bed).
