When farmers invite relatives and friends to their homes to eat new rice, it is more than just cooking a big pot of rice for the guests to eat.
There will be no shortage of food and drinks.
It's like making glutinous rice cakes at the end of the year. You invite relatives and friends to come over and beat them together. While beating them, the host family will prepare meals to entertain everyone.
And Mrs. Liu is pursuing food, so can she miss a banquet like this?
That's impossible!
At the same time, Yang Yongqing and Mr. Mo also visited the Luo family in person and invited the Luo family to eat new rice in the fourth room.
For such an invitation, Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian would not refuse it for the sake of good luck and good luck.
So they gladly accepted it.
When Yang Yongqing and Mrs. Mo were leaving, Mrs. Mo saw her daughter Xiao Niuniu and another little girl who was shorter than her running into the main room side by side.
Little Niuniu raised her voice and said to them: "Dad, mother, this is Qiaoqiao, my new sister. Our family has new rice, and I invited Qiaoqiao to come with her!"
And the little girl named Qiaoqiao is the daughter of the Mo family who fled from a foreign country.
Qiaoqiao's personality is not as lively as that of Xiao Niuniu, and she is relatively quiet. Coupled with the bumpy migration a while ago, Qiaoqiao's life of no fixed abode makes Qiaoqiao feel insecure towards strangers.
So now she was hiding behind Xiao Niuniu, looking timidly at Yang Yongqing and Mr. Mo.
There was clearly expectation and yearning in those eyes, but there was also a bit of timidity and apprehension.
After all, the indifference of many adults along the way begging, and their inability to give out even half a steamed bun, left a huge shadow on this little girl's heart.
She was afraid that Sister Niuniu’s parents would be like those adults outside...
However, Yang Yongqing glanced at Qiaoqiao and quickly agreed readily.
"Okay, then let's go together. I'm your friend. Of course dad welcomes me, haha!"
The little girl said yes happily and looked at her mother Mo with a questioning look.
But Mo's eyes fell on Qiaoqiao, and Mo was obviously stunned.
"Mom, Qiaoqiao can come to my house for dinner, right?" Xiao Niuniu asked again.
However, Mrs. Mo did not immediately respond to Xiao Niuniu's question, but slowly stepped forward and came to Qiaoqiao.
Mo's eyes were fixed on Qiaoqiao, and he slowly squatted down, with one knee on the ground, and touched Qiaoqiao's face with trembling hands...
Mo's move stunned Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian who were present.
They don't know what Mo is going to do?
Yang Yongqing also looked confused, thinking that something bad had happened. He hadn't seen his wife in almost a year, and her eyes were straight. Could it be that the madness was coming back?
That's the end of the game, the good times have just begun!
When Qiaoqiao saw this strange aunt Mo extending her hand towards her, the child was so frightened that she quickly let go of little Niuniu's hand and ran to the door of the main room.
He happened to bump into one of the two people who came in from the door of the hall.
Qiaoqiao bumped into the man's leg, raised his head and found that it was Yang Ruoqing.
Qiaoqiao lived in the Luo family during this period and lived and ate with Yang Ruoqing. She had long been familiar with this kind aunt.
She quickly hugged Yang Ruoqing's legs.
Yang Ruoqing also leaned down to support Qiaoqiao and found that Qiaoqiao's little shoulders were shaking. Yang Ruoqing was surprised and asked quickly: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Tell your aunt if you have anything... …”
However, in the middle of her words, Yang Ruoqing stopped abruptly because she noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the main room!
In the hall, sister-in-law Mo was half-kneeling on one knee, with her right hand still extended.
She raised her head and looked straight at Yang Ruoqing who was standing at the door of the main room...and Mrs. Mo beside her.
The sister-in-law's pupils contracted violently, the corners of her lips trembled uncontrollably, her throat rolled several times, and finally she shouted, 'Sister? '
At this moment, Ms. Mo, who was standing next to Yang Ruoqing, felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She held on to the door frame beside her and tried to open her eyes wide to look at the woman in the middle of the hall.
Familiar faces…
Da Mo's tears welled up and her vision blurred for a moment. She choked and shouted: "Sister!"
He staggered towards little Mo in the middle of the hall.
Little Mo's eyes burst into tears and she rushed forward. The sisters, who had been separated for nearly ten years, hugged each other tightly.
…
After a while, in the main room of the Luo family, the two sisters who were hugging each other and crying finally calmed down a little.
At this time, Lao Chu, the husband of the elder Mo, Yang Yongqing, the husband of the younger Mo, and the Luo family were all sitting beside them. Everyone also learned about the experiences of the Mo sisters from what the Mo sisters had just said. Seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
The two of them are biological sisters. Their father was a scholar at that time and belonged to a scholarly family in the local area.
Although the Mo sisters were not born into a wealthy family, their father did his best to give them a carefree childhood.
Compared to the needlework girls, the Mo sisters' father taught them more about reading and writing, so the bookishness of the sisters came from this.
Later, Mo Juren was involved in a literary case and was imprisoned. Although in the end, his family's fortune was gone and they were able to get the person out, but after this incident, Mo Juren was severely injured physically and suffered a severe mental blow. .
Not long after he was released from prison, Mo Juren died of illness. At this time, the Mo family was already destitute and heavily in debt.
Before Mo Juren died, he was worried that his property would be occupied by his clan and that his two daughters would be homeless. He wrote a letter to a friend and asked him to help send his two daughters to his close friend and family in a neighboring county. Where the in-laws are.
The Da Mo family made a marriage arrangement with the Chu family in a neighboring county. Mo Juren sold the property, converted the last bit of property into silver notes, asked his two daughters to take him with him, and then sent them to join the Chu family.
But who would have thought that the friend Mo Juren entrusted to his family was not genuine. Not only was he wary of the family fortune brought by the elder Mo, he also coveted the beautiful appearance of the little Mo.
The two sisters are also clever. After all, they are girls who have been studying since childhood. They noticed each other's intentions and fled quietly.
But her father's friend was very cunning and kept a close eye on the sisters. Little Mo came up with a plan. The two sisters pretended to knock over the candlestick and set the house on fire. They took advantage of the chaos of fighting the fire to escape.
As a result, little Mo was hit on the head by a falling wooden stick and fell into the thick smoke behind him.
Da Mo turned around and wanted to save her sister, but the room had already become a sea of flames, and she couldn't rush in.
At this time, the other party came with their servants to arrest the sisters. Da Mo looked at her sister who was buried in the fire and the person behind her. At that moment, she was completely desperate.
Not only was she unable to escape, but she also lost her only relative. There was no greater grief than heartbreak. Just when Da Mo was about to commit suicide, a masked young man fell from the sky.
