Yang Yongxian only stayed in the village for one day, but he did a lot of things.

I sent fresh fish to every room of Lao Yang's family, and also sent them to relatives. I visited Tan and bought Tan's favorite snacks.

As usual, Mr. Tan pretended to be ill and did not recognize Yang Yongxian.

Yang Yongxian went to visit Liao Meiying and Zhen'er again. Liao Meiying's attitude was always lukewarm, but this time, after learning that Yang Yongxian had given fish to everyone else, Liao Meiying made an exception and accepted the snacks he brought to Zhen'er.

In addition, Yang Yongxian also invited Yu Xingkui back to serve Old Yangtou. In the village, gradually there were voices praising Yang Yongxian for being a prodigal son.

…

Xiaoqin and Damo's son is called Hai'er, who is about the same age as Feng'er. The two families live across a road, and the two children often play together.

On the day of Laba Festival, most of the village was filled with the sweet aroma of Laba porridge.

Those who had the means, such as Sun and Bao Suyun, naturally picked up more than a dozen kinds of beans, almonds, nuts, etc., and planned to cook a pot of various kinds of Laba porridge.

Firstly, it satisfies family members, relatives and friends, and secondly, it comforts the gods and ancestors and prays for good weather in the coming year.

Households with average conditions and able to take care of food and clothing are also busy and busy.

Families who have lived in poverty for a long time must have saved red beans, soybeans and rice grains to cook porridge on this day to celebrate the festival. Traditional things are still passed down in the village and must not be desecrated.

So today is a paradise for children. The adults at home are busy making porridge and have no time to restrain their children.

What's more, the children of the farmer's family were raised outside, so Feng'er, Hai'er and a group of children of similar age in the village made an appointment to play under the old maple tree at the entrance of the village, playing house and fighting.

, and then hide and seek, it was so lively.

A figure suddenly came crookedly from that side.

The children were sharp-eyed and immediately saw that the man running over was wearing a patched cotton-padded jacket, but he was wearing nothing underneath.

No, to be precise, I was wearing cotton trousers underneath, but the cotton trousers had fallen below the knees and piled up on my calves, making it difficult to walk with a crooked step.

"Idiot, the idiot from Li Laogen's family is here!" Damo's son Hai'er was the naughtiest one among the group of children. He jumped up, pointed at Xu Mao and yelled: "Idiot is not wearing pants, you are too naughty!"

There's shit behind me, it's because I didn't wipe my butt after going to the toilet!"

The children laughed loudly, and under the leadership of Hai'er, they ran up to Li Mao in a swarm, surrounded Li Mao, threw small stones and spit at Li Mao.

Hai'er was the most daring and actually used the stick in her hand to poke Li Mao's butt.

Li Mao looked up at the sky and walked crookedly without looking at his feet. His eyes were dull, his hair was disheveled, there was a beard around his mouth, and he was mumbling some incomprehensible language.

Several children were laughing and teasing around him, but he was unaware of it, as if he was immersed in his own world.

It wasn't until Hai'er poked the most vulnerable thing on him with a stick that Li Mao suddenly howled and jumped up.

The children were frightened and scattered, but they didn't run far away. Their little heads poked out from the straw piles, at the corners of the courtyard walls, and from behind the maple trees.

Li Mao breathed hot air from his mouth, blood surged in his cloudy eyes, and he twisted his neck to look for the children nearby.

Hai'er and Feng'er hid behind the old maple tree together. Feng'er was so scared that he covered his mouth and nose and did not dare to show his head.

Haier held the stick in his hand and looked eager to try.

Feng'er pulled Haier and said, "Don't go out. My master said that brother Li Mao will beat people."

Hai'er looked disdainful: "I have a sword, so I'm not afraid!"

Hai'er broke away from Feng'er's hand and rushed out screaming like a warrior.

While Li Mao went to catch other children at the straw pile, Haier hit Li Mao on the leg with a stick.

Li Mao turned around suddenly and grabbed the stick.

"ah!!!"

He roared at Hai'er, making a sound similar to that of a wild animal.

"Haier, run quickly!"

Feng'er shouted from behind.

Hai'er wanted to run away, but his 'sword' was tightly held in Li Mao's hand.

"You fool, give me back my sword!"

Hai'er pulled Li Mao hard, yelled and screamed, and even kicked Li Mao.

Li Mao grabbed Haier's shoulders and lifted him above his head. The sword fell to the ground. Li Mao stepped on the sword and walked forward with a cry. It looked like he was going to throw Haier into the pond.

The timid children behind the straw pile were frightened and cried on the spot, while the more courageous ones quickly ran home to find adults.

Feng'er followed Li Mao not far away, and he was also very anxious. He knew that it would be too late to go back and call the adults now. He couldn't catch Li Mao with his little arms and legs, and there happened to be no adults passing by nearby.

Seeing Brother Hai struggling in Li Mao's hands, Feng'er was so anxious that she almost shed tears.

Suddenly, he touched the candy in his pocket.

"Li Mao, look what this is!"

Feng'er suddenly shouted to Li Mao.

Li Mao turned his head stiffly and saw a handful of colorful things in Feng'er's open hand.

Li Mao tilted his head with a dull look on his face.

Feng'er peeled off one and stuffed it into his mouth, smashed it deliberately and ate it.

"It's delicious and sweet. Do you want it?" he asked Li Mao.

Li Mao swallowed and nodded.

Feng'er pointed at Hai'er, who was held high above his head by Li Mao, and bravely said, "Then put Brother Hai down, and I'll give you the candy."

Li Mao raised his head and glanced at Hai'er above his head. Hai'er was also frightened at this time. Hearing Feng'er's words, he was so scared that he held his breath and remained motionless.

Li Mao suddenly threw Hai'er forward, turned around and came over to grab the candy in Feng'er's hand.

This incident happened so quickly that Haier was thrown straight towards the pond in front of her, while Fenger was frozen on the spot and had no time to dodge.

Just as one was about to fall into the water and the other was about to be caught by Li Mao, two figures passed by from the same direction, one pounced on Hai'er, and the other flashed past Feng'er.

Li Mao jumped up and screamed in anger. He looked up and saw Feng'er being protected in the arms of a young woman. Li Mao was so angry that he picked up a stone next to him and threw it at the woman and Feng'er.

The woman frowned and kicked the stone away. At the same time, she stepped forward and easily pressed Li Mao to the ground. She twisted her hands behind her back and tied him tightly.

Feng'er, who was still in shock, came back to his senses. When he saw the young woman walking towards him, his eyes widened with excitement. He jumped up and shouted: "Aunt, aunt!"

Yang Ruoqing returned to Feng'er. She originally wanted to hug him like she did when he was a child, but when she saw the boy in front of her who had obviously grown taller, she hugged him instead and patted his head.

"I have grown taller and skinnier. How dare I provoke a madman here? I really scare my aunt to death!"

Feng'er hugged Yang Ruoqing's arm excitedly, "I didn't provoke the madman, it was Brother Hai who did. I saved him..."

At this time, Luo Fengtang also led Haier over.

"Is Feng'er okay?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "If we come later, both of them will be thrown into the water."

Luo Fengtang smiled and raised his hand to touch Feng'er's head.
