Xiao Xiuxiu and her brother came over, as did Hong'er and Niuniu from Yang Yongzhi's family. Jin held the girl from Yang Yongqing's family in her left hand and held Zhen'er from Liao Meiying's family in her right hand. The courtyard of Yang Huazhong's family suddenly became lively.

Yang Ruoqing saw so many children coming, so she took out the key to the 'Children's Castle', picked up Jiaojiao, Xiaoduo and Lingling, and led the group to the old Luo's yard next door.

The children's castle from modern creativity and civilization successfully captured the hearts of these children, and they had a great time playing inside.

Even Lingling gradually relaxed in such an atmosphere. Xiao Xiuxiu, who was about the same age as her, got together to play the swing game. Xiao Xiuxiu was also responsible for taking care of her younger brother, and Lingling's eyes also

Always subconsciously looking for Jiaojiao among the children.

Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Duo stayed outside the net fence of the children's castle to talk. At the same time, they took on the role of 'administrators', ready to deal with disputes between the children at any time. Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Duo both noticed Lingling's care for Jiaojiao.

fundus.

"Although Lingling is only seven years old, she is very sensible. She understands whoever treats her well and knows how to give back."

When she said this, Yang Ruoqing raised her chin and gestured towards a certain game area.

Xiaoduo followed her gaze and saw Lingling picking up Jiaojiao who was trapped in a pile of colorful soft balls.

Xiaoduo's eyes were full of warmth, "During these days, my father-in-law would bring Lingling over every day when he came to the pasture to help herd cattle. Lingling would always accompany Jiaojiao when I was working."

"When Jiaojiao fell asleep, Lingling didn't go anywhere. She just stayed by the bed. When Jiaojiao woke up, Lingling played with her. Children like to play with children. Ever since Lingling came,

, Jiaojiao seems to like this little sister very much. Every evening when Lingling and her father-in-law leave the pasture and return to the village, Jiaojiao will make a fuss."

Hearing Xiaoduo talk about the things between the two children, Yang Ruoqing also pursed her lips and smiled.

"The sisters have a companion. Lingling can also help you take care of Jiaojiao. Duoer, you can rest assured when doing things outside the house."

"Isn't that right? I couldn't do much in the past. Sometimes I would cook a meal while Jiaojiao was sleeping. I would have to go back and forth between the kitchen and the house seventy or eighty times to check on the situation. I would go in front of and behind the house.

It’s not convenient to go there. Sometimes I even feel uncomfortable even going to the toilet. After Lingling came, I really felt much more relaxed. Mainly because Lingling is a sensible kid and has a way of coaxing Jiaojiao. Sister, I really see Lingling more and more.

The more I like him, if I had known that this child was so well-behaved and sensible, and that he was so attached to me, I should have let my father-in-law and the others pick him up, and the child would not have suffered so much in the mountains."

Yang Ruoqing put her hand on Xiaoduo's, "Don't be sad, it's not too late to take it over now, it's still too late to hurt her..."

Xiaoduo nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said to Yang Ruoqing in a low voice: "The day I brought Lingling back, I gave her a bath and changed her clothes. The child was beaten and pinched so badly that I found something on her inner thigh later.

There were two scars, which looked like they were burned with fire."

"I asked her what was going on, and she shook her head blankly. She didn't even remember when she got the scar."

"Sister, I was just thinking, those rough guys in the mountains wouldn't be crazy enough to do something worse than a beast to such a big child, right?"

Facing Xiaoduo's worried and frightened eyes, Yang Ruoqing couldn't laugh anymore, and her brows knitted together lightly.

"Does Lingling not remember it? Or does she remember it but doesn't want to recall it?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Xiaoduo shook his head, "I coaxed her and asked her a few more times. It looked like she really didn't remember anything. She could tell a little bit about the scars on other places on her body, but she didn't remember anything about the scars on her legs...

…”

"That's the case, then don't ask any more questions from now on, and just pretend it doesn't happen." Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiaoduo.

"Why don't you ask? I'm worried, and I always want to find out the truth." Xiaoduo was very confused and angry. Although he knew that he couldn't take revenge one by one, he always wanted to find out the truth and help Lingling come out.

tone.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "It's all in the past, let her pass, Lingling was taken out of the mountain, her past life has been completely cut off, why do we still need to find out the truth?"

"No matter where those two scars came from, let's not ask or mention them again. As time goes by, everything will fade away."

"What we have to do is not to pick up hatred, but to protect Lingling from now on, so that she can grow up happily and healthily. If those people in the mountains are wise enough to stop interfering, then we will let it go, as long as there is one person who dares to come out and interfere.

It’s a relationship, let’s not be polite!”

"Lingling is only seven years old. She won't remember the memory of that mountain village for a long time. It's like you and Xiaohua are becoming more and more vague about the things in the village before? Don't you think so?"

Xiaoduo nodded vigorously, "Most of my memories are about growing up in Changping Village. As for my biological parents, to put it bluntly, I have long forgotten what they look like, and there is no need to remember them.

, anyway, I was abandoned."

"I only remember that the people who raised me were my parents in Changping Village. They taught me how to be a good person and how to do things. It was my mother who taught me step by step how to sew and cook..."

Yang Ruoqing held Xiaoduo's hand happily: "That's right. If you can do it, Lingling can do it too. Let's work together to give Lingling a new life."

Xiaoduo nodded with tears in his eyes, a sense of relief and relief in his eyes.

Children's nature is to love to play. Even children like Lingling who grew up in bitter water and feel the warmth and coldness of the world in advance, so they are a little precocious in temperament, are a little bit unable to stop when faced with these toys that are specifically targeted at children's play preferences.

, the innocent and playful nature of children is completely stimulated.

No, the Sun family had already cooked the meal, and after urging them two or three times, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo finally took the children out of the 'Children's Castle'. If they hadn't promised them that they would have dinner later, they would still be able to

Come over and continue playing, I guess they will choose to give up eating!

Two big tables were set up for lunch, and Mrs. Sun specially left the eldest Mrs. Sun, Bao Suyun, Liao Meiying, Zhao Liuer and other women.

Yang Huazhong didn't invite the men over because he was afraid that the men's shouting and drinking would frighten Lingling, while the women and children staying to eat would increase the sense of intimacy. One table for adults and one for children.

Yang Ruoqing secretly observed Lingling and found that the smile on her face was much brighter than when she first met her in Xiangjiazhuang.

I couldn't help but think of the two scars Xiaoduo mentioned.
