Fang Yan went into the woods to relieve herself while Mo Hexuan waited for her in the distance. He was very far away and Fang Yan did not allow him to get close, so he was helpless.
Until Fang Yan walked over." Come, let's go over there for a walk. It's too hot here."”
Fang Yan's face was red all the way, and she did not dare to look him in the eyes.
She only cared about walking forward. Then, she asked,"Are you going back tomorrow?"
Mo Hexuan thought that Fang Yan definitely didn't want him to leave so soon." Yeah, don't you hate me? You won't be able to see me anymore." Are you happy?"
After Fang Yan heard this, he sighed softly and said,"You're just a passerby. Why would you stay for so long?”
Mo Hexuan was delighted and quickly said,"You can ask me to stay. I'll stay for a few more days."”
"You can go. Why should I keep you?”
Mo Hexuan could tell that Fang Yan did not mean what he said. His heart warmed, but he said,"Alright, I'll leave tomorrow. It won't hinder your eyes."
Fang Yan felt a little conflicted at this moment. She did not know why, but she felt a little flustered. She still said,"Let's go, but you're welcome to come and play in the future.”
He had another thought." Is your fiancé more handsome than me?”
Fang Yan didn't expect him to already know that he was engaged." It doesn't matter if he's handsome or not. What's important is whether he can live."”
"How can it not be important? The ancients said that a gentleman is good at wooing a fair lady.”
Fang Yan was at a loss for words for a moment. He refuted,"I'm not a graceful lady, and he's not a gentleman either. He's just a partner."”
Mo Hexuan felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know how to describe his feelings to her.
"Did you agree to marry him voluntarily?" What's so good about him?"
Fang Yan had also asked herself in her heart. That man was not even as tall as her. His missing front teeth always leaked when he spoke. Sometimes, she wanted to laugh, but she restrained herself from showing it. He didn't want to make him unhappy. After all, his house was the closest to his home. She could often come home to take care of him. She braced herself and said,"Of course it's voluntary.”
Mo Hexuan's heart turned cold. Perhaps Fang Yan was really just a passerby to him. She was already engaged, and it was a consensual marriage. He panicked and didn't know what to say. He stopped in his tracks. Looking at the grass on the ground, he felt that he was being snubbed.
He didn't like it, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he sulked at himself. He picked up a small stone and threw it far away. He rolled three or four in a row.
Fang Yan didn't dare to say anything when she saw that Mo Hexuan was angry. She was also thinking about it, but she slowly walked toward Mo Hexuan. She didn't look at the road and her footsteps were unsteady. Just as she was about to fall, Mo Hexuan took a step forward. Because Fang Yan's center of gravity had already fallen, she fell onto the grass with Mo Hexuan.
Mo Hexuan looked at her blushing face and couldn't help but kiss her on the lips.
At this moment, Fang Yan's ears and cheeks seemed to be burning red. She thought of a few reasons to convince herself that it was just an accident and that he was careless. He definitely didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive him. Seeing that she was silent, Mo Hexuan thought that she was happy too. He asked tentatively,"How do you feel? Do you like it?"
Fang Yancai turned around, raised his head, and slapped Mo Hexuan angrily. Mo Hexuan immediately panicked and said,"I didn't do it on purpose. I just happened to fall.”
Fang Yan's heart calmed down. She comforted herself. See, he didn't do it on purpose. He had accidentally fallen down. How could he be interested in a girl from the mountains? Hence, he cursed with a straight face," You're so stupid, you're like a water buffalo." Then, he ran off to look for Fang Jie and the others.
Mo Hexuan's face did not have any marks at all. It looked like Fang Yan had hit him hard, but in fact, the strength of the hit on his face was very small. Mo Hexuan guessed that this must be Fang Yan's first kiss, which was why she was so excited. Moreover, she could have pushed him away just now. But she did not. He was secretly happy for a while because of this. He was thinking about how to make Fang Yan give up on her marriage, or he could directly go to that man and tell him. As she thought about it, she became happy. He went to meet up with them.
Before Fang Yan walked over, she cried alone in the forest for a while. She wondered why Mo Hexuan was so despicable and had to tease her in such a way. Or rather, she couldn't tell which of his words was true. After thinking for a while, she convinced herself not to think about it anymore. He just wanted to tease her. Then, she wiped her tears and walked over. At this time, Mo Hexuan was already sitting there with a worried expression on his face. But he didn't know what to say. Looking at Fang Yan's appearance, it seemed as if nothing had happened. Therefore, he also suppressed his sweet face from earlier. He touched his lips with his hand and smiled lightly.
Seeing that everyone had returned, Fang Jie could not help but say,"Let's go catch rabbits. It's been a long time since we caught them. I want to eat rabbit meat." Mo Hexuan's interest was piqued."Let's go, let's go. Where is it? Quickly bring me there.”
After saying that, she pulled Fang Jie's hand and turned around to look at Fang Yan. Then, she happily went to catch the rabbit. He thought that Fang Yan was so thin that she must have rarely eaten meat. Therefore, he was very enthusiastic and must catch a rabbit for her. He walked towards the mountain in the distance. Fang Yan said loudly," Be careful. Don't run too far. If you can't catch him, come back."”
Fang Jie responded and ran away with Mo Hexuan. Only Ye Fuyu and Fang Yan were left. Fang Yan was still thinking about what had just happened. She had not figured it out and was still conflicted.
Ye Fuyu broke the silence and asked,""Fang Jie just told me that you went to apply for a household register and they asked you for money?”
Fang Yan did not expect Fang Jie to have already told him about this, so he nodded silently. "Usually, you don't need money to register for a household register. Why would they want money?" Ye Fuyu asked.”
"My dad is dead, and the household register is gone. It's more complicated, so they want money.”
"How much do they want?"
Fang Yanxin thought that it was fine to tell him. So what if he knew? He was definitely just asking casually. "Three thousand dollars."
Ye Fuyu thought to himself that he couldn't hurt her self-esteem. He would find a suitable opportunity to give her a sum of money. Regardless of whether she wanted it or not, he had to do it.
"Why don't you bring your mother to West City with us to see a doctor?”
Fang Yan turned around in surprise." I don't have money."”After saying that, she lowered her head as if she was blaming herself, or rather, she was very helpless.
"It's okay. We'll settle the money. We don't need a household register, so don't worry.”
Fang Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of light. He paused and said,"Thank you for your kindness. We've never met before. How can I let you help me like that?”
Ye Fuyu thought that Fang Yan was indeed stubborn." It's okay. We still have to stay for a few more days." Take your time to think about it."
"I won't consider this matter. Although I'm very poor, I don't want to get sympathy from others.”
The barrier in her heart had already broken. Her cold expression made Ye Fuyu not dare to say anything else.
So she changed the topic and said,"Is your fiancé good to you?"”
Fang Yan still had his head lowered and replied gloomily,"It's pretty good."
Ye Fuyu thought to himself that she was really a stubborn girl. She refused to tell others what she was thinking and shut herself up tightly. Perhaps no one could open the lock in her heart and tell others about her grievances. Perhaps it would take some time. He had already made up his mind and had made arrangements in his heart.
Ye Fuyu didn't want her to let her imagination run wild, so he comforted her and said,"You're a person with your own opinions. You know what you want. Just don't ask for too much."
Fang Yan raised her head. She thought that he must have seen through her thoughts, but she smiled and said,"How can I make myself suffer? This marriage is my own wish. There is no other reason.”
Ye Fuyu smiled bitterly and said,"Alright." As long as you're willing." How could he not know that it would take a long time to open Fang Yan's heart? Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
"What about you? Are you married?"
Ye Fuyu was thinking about how to help her so that she couldn't refuse. He didn't expect her to ask this question and said in surprise,"I just graduated from abroad and don't have a girlfriend yet.”
Fang Yan had a 70 - 80% guess about their identities. She wasn't surprised that he said he came back from studying abroad. "You city people get married late, but how can you not have a girlfriend?”
"No, it's too troublesome to have a girlfriend.”
Fang Yanxin thought that this person was really strange. She mustered up her courage and asked,"You're so outstanding. How can you not be handsome?”
Ye Fuyu found it funny. Fang Yan was very similar to other women in this aspect. She was very curious. To quell her curiosity, he said,""How am I handsome? Your brother will also be a handsome young man when he grows up.”She changed the topic to her brother.
Fang Yan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in high spirits,"Of course, he's my younger brother.”
Ye Fuyu pursed his lips and smiled. He knew that the relationship between the siblings was very deep. Fang Yan would do anything for Fang Jie. In such an abnormal family, only the two of them were normal. They would definitely rely on each other and comfort each other. There was nothing wrong with that.
However, her expression was really enviable. He thought of his parents, who had lost them when he was young. They were the only family he had. His grandfather had left him when he was in junior high school and entrusted him to Mo Tingjun. "It's good to have a younger brother," Ye Fuyu said enviously.”
Fang Yan seemed to feel the loneliness in his eyes and asked timidly,"Are you the only child in your family?”
Ye Fuyu stretched out his hand and said,"Yes, I'm alone now."”
Fang Yan did not seem to understand and confirmed,"You're the only one in your family. Where are the others? Are you overseas?"
Ye Fuyu really did not want to bring Fang Yan back to his regretful past. He smiled and said,"Yeah, they're all overseas."
Fang Yan dispelled his doubts and turned his head away." What about him?”
Ye Fuyu did not react for a moment." Who?”
Fang Yan said Mo Hexuan's name. She was also conflicted, but she was also curious. Although Mo Hexuan still looked childish, she couldn't help but suspect that he was a man with a lot of love experience. He must have a lot of girlfriends, and they were definitely not decent people, and she was not worth mentioning at all. "Are you asking if he has a girlfriend or if he has any siblings?" Ye Fuyu hesitated for a moment.”
"Girlfriend," Fang Yan stammered.”
Ye Fuyu thought that Fang Yan was just asking casually. He replied,"It's always beautiful girls chasing him. He's very popular and has many girlfriends.”
The stone in Fang Yan's heart fell to the ground. She knew that she had obtained the key to unlocking her answer just now. In order to hide her panic.
"Then his parents are overseas too?" she asked.”"His father is in China, and his mother has passed away.”
Fang Yan thought in a fit of pique, could he find so many girlfriends to fill the gap just because he lacked motherly love? She didn't show any dissatisfaction and just replied softly.
That was all Fang Yan knew about Mo Hexuan and Ye Fuyu. She didn't know if she would have the chance to meet them again in the future. She didn't want to ask anything else. She was already like this. How could she have any other hopes? She was very clear about her own identity, or rather, her weight. They had only met by chance. They were just two of the many tourists who had come to the Thousand Year Lake. From then on, they had no more interactions. Happy Times Are Always Short
They talked about the scenery of the Thousand-Year Lake and their feelings of watching the sunrise. Fang Yan's interested smile, hearty laughter, gentle smile, and unrestrained laughter were all deeply reflected in his mind and could not be forgotten.
He was even more certain that Fang Yan was a star-like girl. She had that kind of magic that made her feel especially happy, even though she did not think she was that unfortunate. However, in Ye Fuyu's eyes, she seemed to belong to the Thousand Year Lake because the Thousand Year Lake was indeed a pure land. He could not bear to let her be contaminated by the foul air outside.
However, he was conflicted about whether he should take her away. He felt that only she could retain his wandering heart and save his soul. He had already made up his mind to help Fang Yan cancel the engagement and be honest with her. He felt that Fang Yan's heart would definitely be disintegrated by him, so he also had something on his mind.
Fang Jie and the others had been gone for a long time before they returned, but they still had some gains. Mo Hexuan ran over excitedly with the little rabbit in his arms and said,"" Look, we caught a fat rabbit." Fang Yan looked at the panicked fat rabbit in his arms. Its legs were tied up by weeds and it could not move.
Fang Jie must have done this because he was afraid that Mo He would lose his temper and drive the rabbit away. Fang Yan looked at Fang Jie and said,"What do you plan to do now?"”
Fang Jie smiled shyly and said,"I want to eat it now." Fang Yan smiled bitterly. How could she not know that the food in Fang Jie's school was really poor? He could only eat meat once a week. Therefore, he would often go to the Thousand Year Lake to steal fish. Once, he was even beaten up by that hateful lakekeeper. She still couldn't let it go.
"We don't have knives and fire, so we can only go back and get them."”
Fang Jie scratched his head and took out a match and a knife from his pocket.""I brought it."
Fang Yan could only smile helplessly and say," Then let's divide the work. Mo Hexuan, you go collect firewood. Fang Jie, you kill the rabbits. I'll go find some water."”
Mo Hexuan agreed readily, then said,"What about Ye Fuyu? What is he doing?”
"He's going to roast a rabbit later, can you?" Fang Yan said angrily.”
"I don't know," Mo Hexuan said with a smile."I'll go collect firewood."”With that, he disappeared.
Ye Fuyu thought that he was really living a rural life and was overjoyed. This was not Fang Jie's first time doing such a thing. In the past, he was the one who skinned the rabbits he caught. His knife was very sharp. Fang Yanzai and Ye Fuyu went to find some water and put it in a plastic bag. They would wash their hands and put out the fire later.
Not long after, Mo Hexuan rushed back with a bundle of branches like a wild child. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he panted and looked at Fang Yan fawningly."Is this enough? If it's not enough, I'll go find more.”
Fang Yan was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity to tease him. She said with a straight face,"How is this enough? The rabbit hasn't even been roasted yet.”
Mo Hexuan seemed to have received an order."I'll go and find some more immediately." After saying that, she drifted away like a gust of wind.
When Fang Jie was almost done skinning the rabbit, Mo Hexuan ran back, panting. He was truly a man like a gust of wind. One could imagine how much he was looking forward to this picnic. As soon as he returned, he mumbled and instructed Ye Fuyu,"Hurry up and start a fire. You can't stay idle.”
Ye Fuyu smiled and said,""Alright." He ran over.
The mountain wind was strong, so the few of them surrounded the fire and blew it up. Soon, the fire started burning. Fang Jie also used the branches that Mo Hexuan had picked up to make a simple grill. He used a knife to pierce the rabbit and hung it up to roast it.
Mo Hexuan stared at the greasy rabbit and swallowed his saliva. Fang Jie did the same. He sat next to Mo Hexuan with the same expression. They were like two puppies waiting for their master to give them a bone. Fang Yan thought to himself.
Ye Fuyu was more reserved. He laughed when he saw the expressions of the two people opposite him. In terms of food, Mo Hexuan had probably eaten countless delicious dishes. However, he was never picky and ate whatever was available. This was better than him. He had never liked spicy or greasy food. He had a better appetite for the soup and wild vegetables. He was mainly satisfied with the enjoyment in his heart, not the desire in his mouth. The food didn't have to be good, as long as they were full.
Mo Hexuan was a person who would not be happy without meat. He had always wanted to eat meat and would not reject anything. He had never seen him so impatient. However, it was strange that he never gained weight. He had always liked to eat, drink, and have fun. This was the biggest difference between them. However, Mo Hexuan wasn't doing anything unorthodox or overboard. It was just that compared to him, who didn't like to play, he did like to play.
Mo Hexuan always said: Life must be happy, do not let the golden cup empty to the moon. This was his life's famous saying, and he had also practiced it according to this famous saying. However, she had never seen him being particularly close to any girl. There were many beautiful women who had seen him before, but he changed people like he was changing clothes. He had always been particular about novelty. She couldn't tell who he was the best to. It seemed that he loved all girls, that kind of broad love.
Those who came to him voluntarily did not reject them and accepted them all. According to him, his longest record was dealing with 15 girls at the same time. He didn't know what happened to the girls after that, but he was worried for him. However, Mo Hexuan would never like someone like Fang Yan because Fang Yan was plain and clean. He could not stand it if she did not put on makeup. Not to mention that he did not know how to appreciate Fang Yan's beauty.
Mo Hexuan was really hungry. He hadn't eaten meat for two meals, so he was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength. He looked at Fang Yan, who was smiling lightly, and he was entranced. Not long after, he remembered that he had secretly kissed Fang Yan in the forest just now. Before he could savor that feeling, he was slapped. However, he was not angry at all. He was afraid that Fang Yan would not forgive him for his stupid actions, so he quickly waited for the rabbit to be cooked and would definitely give her the best meat to eat.
He hoped that she would forget the stupid things he had done. He did not know why Fang Yan was so defenseless. He had completely lost his sense of propriety. A girl like Fang Yan should be treated gently and slowly. He told himself in his heart that there was still a long time. He should not do such a stupid thing again.
However, Fang Yan's mouth was soft and his lower lip was slightly thick. The feeling of kissing him was worlds apart from those girls who took the initiative to kiss him in the past. He had never thought about such things before. Although it was only two seconds, he could smell the fragrance in Fang Yan's mouth. It was different from those girls who were chewing fragrant candy.
Sometimes, he felt disgusted. Perhaps they were chewing the candy to cover up the taste of alcohol and tobacco in their mouths. Anyway, every time he smelled their perfume, he felt that it was smelly, even though those perfumes were expensive.
Fang Jie skillfully turned the rabbit over and roasted the other side, hoping that it would be cooked faster. Then, he gave the rabbit's hind leg meat to his sister because there was the most meat there. The most fragrant. His good sister had never eaten any delicious meat. Every time she ate meat, she would pick it up and put it in his and his mother's bowls. He knew that his sister definitely wanted to eat it too, but he couldn't bear to eat it.
His sister helped him at the chicken farm to support his high school education, but he didn't need money for junior high school. However, high school required a lot of money. They had to go to a faraway place and needed a lot of money. That was why his sister dropped out of school and came home. Otherwise, with her sister's grades, she would have no problem getting into the best high school in the county.
Her sister's form teacher had come to the house several times to persuade her to go back to school, but her sister had firmly refused every time. There was no one else in this world who treated him better than his sister. Therefore, when he grew up, he must earn money for his sister to spend. In the future, his sister would buy many toys for him to play with when she had children. This was a young man's most serious promise, a promise to himself.
After roasting for about another 10 minutes, Fang Yan said,"It's cooked. Mo Hexuan, use a small knife to divide it into a few portions.”
Mo Hexuan took the knife and gestured for a long time, not knowing how to start. The top was roasted to an orange color, and the oil was shiny. Fang Jie was anxious.
"Let me do it," said Fang Jie. He took the knife from Mo Hexuan.
Fang Yan said sarcastically,"A guy who only knows how to eat but doesn't know how to cook.”
He Xuan immediately defended himself as if he had lost his temper,"I've never done this before, I'm afraid you'll be hungry."
"Coward," Fang Yan said.”
Mo Hexuan wanted to say something, but Li Fuyu added,"Wash your hands first. There's water here."
They went over to wash their hands and picked up the meat that Fang Jie had divided. Mo Hexuan's piece was bigger.
He handed it to Fang Yan, but Fang Yan did not take it. She said,"I can't eat such a big piece."
He handed it to Fang Jie." Jie, you eat it. You caught the rabbit. You contributed the most."”Xiao Jie looked at Fang Yan, who nodded. He took it and bit it with his mouth. It looked like he was eating the most delicious thing in the world.
Mo Hexuan had lost his appetite after being provoked by Fang Yan. He only bit on one of his front legs. He felt terrible. He had never felt this way before. He clearly wanted to get along well with her, but Fang Yan's attitude just now showed that she was unhappy. He also lost interest in eating the rabbit meat. Although it was very fragrant, he felt as if he was chewing wax and could not swallow it.
As he ate, he peeked at Fang Yan. Fang Yan was not like Fang Jie, who was biting him without restraint. She ate very slowly, trying not to get the oil on her face. He felt that although Fang Yan was sometimes very fierce to him. But there was an indescribable cuteness to it. In an instant, he began to chew on the rabbit meat happily again.
The rabbit was divided up by them in a short while. After washing it, Fang Jie asked Fang Yan to help him check the meat between his teeth. It kept pressing against his teeth and was extremely uncomfortable. Fang Yan pulled Fang Jie's mouth and looked left and right, but he did not find the shredded meat that he had mentioned. Seizing the opportunity, Mo Hexuan continued,"Let go, let me do it."
Fang Yan looked suspiciously and said,"Are you nearsighted?" Can you see it clearly?"
" I'm not short-sighted," Mo Hexuan said speechlessly." How can a perfect person like me allow myself to be short-sighted?"。”Fang Yan pretended to roll her eyes at him. Mo Hexuan looked at Fang Jie's mouth seriously for a long time, but he still didn't see the shredded meat. Fang Jie was so calculative that he almost drooled. He could only give up.
Ye Fuyu looked at Mo Hexuan and wondered if Mo Hexuan had changed or if this was the real him. He was a little confused. Mo Hexuan's tenacity and arrogance seemed to have disappeared without a trace for the past two days, as if it had started from the moment he saw the Thousand Year Lake.
He was a little skeptical about this answer. It was already sunset after they had eaten their fill. Fang Yan suggested that everyone watch the sunset. No one objected.
When they were about to reach the Thousand Year Lake, they met the middle-aged man rowing the boat again. Fang Jie stood timidly behind his sister. Fang Yan stood up straight, as if telling others that she was not easy to bully. The middle-aged man grinned at Mo Hexuan and said,""You two haven't returned yet? I thought the two of you had already gone back. Do you want to take a boat?”
It was as if the Fang siblings were invisible, not even looking at them. However, Fang Yan's eyes looked very calm, but he was still angry that this man had hit Fang Jie. She was a girl who held grudges. If people didn't offend her, she wouldn't offend them. If people offended her, she wouldn't let them off.
Although Fang Jie stood timidly behind him, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He thought that if he dared to hit his sister, he would go up and fight him. Li Fuyu was meticulous, and he could immediately see the tension between the three of them. He dismissed the boatman with a few sentences. Fang Jie finally relaxed.
The four of them walked slowly under the afterglow of the setting sun, laughing and chatting in a row. Young faces, young smiles, and the two restless hearts between them.
"Brother Mo, will you come again?" Fang Jie asked.”
Mo Hexuan looked at him sincerely and said,"Come on."”The two of them had formed an alliance when they chased the rabbit together. Mo Hexuan was in charge of chasing the rabbits, while Fang Jie was in charge of capturing the rabbits. Their cooperation was classic.
Mo Hexuan also fell in love with this younger brother who looked similar to Fang Yan. He envied Fang Jie for being able to grow up and study together with Fang Yan. He was envious of Fang Yan's meticulous care for Fang Jie, and even a little jealous of Fang Jie. Fang Yan's heart was all on Fang Jie, and that was the depth of his love. No one else could replace him. "Come on, let's pinky pinky," Fang Jie said happily after listening.”Mo Hexuan extended his right hand without hesitation. The two of them laughed.
At that time, Fang Jie was the most dazzling youth in the afterglow of the setting sun, a kind and brave youth. A youth that no one could replace.
The four of them finished watching the sunset and walked on the way home. Fang Jie invited the two of them to his house for dinner, but they politely declined. Both of them knew very well that the family could be said to have nothing. How could they have the heart to go and eat one more grain of rice? Perhaps both of them had their own plans. They parted ways before the sky turned dark.
When Fang Yan and Fang Jie returned, their mother had already prepared dinner. After dinner, the family did not go to bed early like before. "What did you do on the mountain today?" asked Mother Fang.”
"We caught a rabbit and roasted it.”The corners of Mother Fang's eyes and face were filled with wrinkles. She was only in her early forties, but she looked like she was in her sixties. She had a lot of white hair on her head.
Fang Yan's heart ached, but she held back her tears. She forcefully held back her tears. At least her family was still by her side. At least they were all alive and well. At least, Fang Jie still had a future. He still had unlimited possibilities. He was Fang Yan's only hope. She hoped that he could spread his wings and fly away from this closed and obscure village.
Sometimes, she was conflicted. She liked the mirror-like lake water of the Thousand Year Lake, and she liked the sunrise and sunset of the Thousand Year Lake. However, she did not like the disdainful looks of the villagers. She could not understand the hearts of the people here. On the surface, he was polite, but in secret, he was gossiping and distorting right and wrong. She hated the person who had told the household register that her father was dead and cut off their hopes of getting registered. That person was a thorn in her heart, often stabbing her heart.
Mother Fang seemed to hesitate. She had something to say to Fang Yan and asked Fang Jie to go upstairs to sleep. Fang Jie was an obedient child. He listened to his sister and mother. He fetched some water, washed his face, and went upstairs. However, he was not sleepy. He was excited the whole day. Besides, he really wanted to know what his mother was going to say to his sister. Although her eyes were closed, her ears were still perked up. Moreover, his house was windy and the floor was cracked. What could he not hear?
Mother Fang first cleared her throat and said softly,"Today, that young man surnamed Ye asked you to take me to West City to see a doctor.”
"When we were on the mountain, he told me, Mom, do you want to go?"”
Mother Fang was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to answer. She wanted to go but didn't want to. She wanted to go so that she could take good care of the two children. If she didn't want to go, she had nothing to do with them. Her family couldn't afford to return such a favor.
She swallowed and said," Mom doesn't want to go. It's always far away. Besides, Mom's almost recovered."”
Fang Yan's eyes became sore again. She gently sobbed and stroked her mother's hand, saying,"Mom, I'll take good care of you and Fang Jie.”
Mother Fang said," Yes, good child. We have to be poor and open. We can't let others gossip about us. If I really go to see a doctor, I don't know how bad the villagers will say.”
Fang Yanzhi sobbed and said,"Mom, I know. I won't let others have an excuse to gossip about me."”The mother and daughter chatted for a while more before they blew out the kerosene lamp and went to sleep.
Fang Jie listened to every word from upstairs and pretended to be asleep when he heard his sister coming upstairs. When his sister passed by his bed, she bent down to help him pull up the blanket. She carefully looked at his eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips. She thought to herself, Fang Jie has grown up again. He has grown into a handsome young man. He would probably be taller than her in two years.
Fang Jie felt his sister staring at him. He opened his eyes and said,""Sis, I heard your conversation with Mom.”
Fang Yan placed the kerosene lamp on the floor and said,"If you heard it, pretend you didn't hear it. Just focus on your studies and don't care about anything else. Don't ask.”
