Moreover, many places are covered with stone mountains, and the soil on the surface is very shallow. Most of the places with forests are difficult to cultivate, and crops cannot be cultivated on most mountains.
Occasionally, some peach trees can be cultivated in some places, but due to the soil quality and fertilizer, it is basically difficult to sell the peaches here.
Every year when the peaches are ripe, they are picked and eaten by the children at home before they are fully ripe.
However, these peach trees can be used to make handicrafts. Many wealthy families like to buy some peach figures, peach seals, peach charms, etc. to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.
It can also bring some income to farmers' families.
In the past few days, a farmer at the foot of the mountain has made a small fortune.
A beautiful girl with extraordinary temperament generously bought the peach grove halfway up the mountain.
It has been three days and the girl has been staying there.
It's like a child without a home.
The farmer was kind-hearted and asked his doll to bring her some food, but he brought back more than ten times the reward.
Let the farmers say that they have met a kind person.
Ma Yaner has been waiting under the peach tree for three days.
But the peach still has no sign of blooming, but there are some flower bones.
This year's spring seems to have come a little late. The spring three years ago, at the same time, was already full of peach blossoms.
Ma Yaner didn't know why she came here.
It's just that in the past three years, in countless dreams, I will come back here again.
After losing Ma Yuanming, Ma Yaner felt that she had nowhere to call home. If there was really a place where she could be attached to, it would be here.
When Ma Yan'er was here, her heart was full of peace and she also had some expectations.
What boy is not passionate?
What girl is not pregnant?
Being away for half a lifetime and still returning as a young boy is perhaps the common yearning of everyone who has experienced it.
Ma Yan'er hopes so much that Zhang Bao can guess that she is here. Perhaps this is Ma Yan'er's only thought and hope during the three years she has been outside...
It was also the hope that sustained her through so many hardships.
Even though Ma Yan'er has become much more mature than before after everything she has experienced, when she returned here, Ma Yan'er seemed to have lost all pretense outside.
"Yan'er!"
At this moment, a distant call penetrated into Ma Yan'er's ears.
Ma Yaner was stunned and stood up suddenly.
I looked around and saw no sign of anyone.
He bit his lip and shook his head gently.
It's my own imagination...
He is so heroic, so ambitious, and so involved in so many affairs, how could he care about these things——
"Yan'er!"
There was another call, clearer than the last time, and there was a faint sound of horse hooves in my ears.
Ma Yan'er looked in the direction of the sound.
A familiar figure galloped on the mountain road.
The mist instantly covered Ma Yan'er's eyes.
He knows!
He really knows!
Ma Yan'er could no longer suppress the joy and yearning in her heart, and threw all reservations and pretense behind her.
He ran quickly down the mountain.
When the two met, they hugged each other so tightly that they couldn't breathe.
The two of them were holding each other like this, the sun was shining down on the mountain top, and the budding flowers bloomed quietly at an unknown time.
This mountain forest, which has been ravaged by the cold winter, is decorated as warm as a dream.
…
I don't know how long it took.
Only then did Ma Yaner poke her head out of Zhang Bao's arms.
Zhang Bao gently wiped Ma Yan'er's tears with his hands, and then he remembered the painful wooden hairpin on his chest just now.
"I have bought this for a long time and I always carry it with me."
Zhang Bao gently took out the hairpin and handed it to Ma Yan'er. Ma Yan'er took it blankly and pinned it behind her hair.
"Am I... good-looking?"
Ma Yaner asked timidly.
"nice!"
“Looking as good as before!”
Zhang Bao said softly.
I originally thought that when I met Ma Yan'er again, I would have endless things to say, but I didn't expect that we actually met, but in this look, the silence here was better than the sound.
"Walk!"
"I'll take you home!"
Zhang Bao took Ma Yan'er's hand.
"Um!"
Ma Yaner followed Zhang Bao obediently, and the two of them walked down the mountain.
…
Yueyan Restaurant.
"I said...it's been almost an hour, right?"
"Are we still going to eat this meal? The dishes are already cold, and I've reheated the wine eight times. It's a waste if half of it is missing."
Lao He quietly poked Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao was also helpless.
Ever since Su Xiaoyue and Ma Yaner got together, Zhang Bao finally understood why women were said to be made of water.
Sometimes you cry, sometimes you laugh, sometimes you talk about what you saw and heard outside, and sometimes she talks about the short-lived parents in Sanhe County. At first, Zhang Bao listened very seriously, feeling the warmth.
After one scene, almost an hour passed, and the two of them were just as they were at the beginning. Zhang Bao had already yawned several times.
I couldn't get a word in at all.
Thanks to Li Goudan being a little unwell today, Li Daniu and Mrs. Li were busy taking care of him and did not come over to eat together. Otherwise, the child would probably starve to death.
"Ahem!"
"Xiaoyue, Yan'er, how about we talk about it slowly later?"
"Anyway, Yan'er has come back. We will have more time in the future, so let's eat first! Yan'er hasn't had much rest in the past few days, so she should take a rest soon."
Zhang Bao finally took advantage of the gap between the two of them to interject.
"Okay, come on sister, hurry up and have something to eat!"
"During your absence, our Yueyan Restaurant has introduced many new dishes. You should try them when you come back!"
Su Xiaoyue greeted Ma Yan'er.
"younger sister?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
Xiaoyue had always called Ma Yan'er Sister Ma before. Why was it that the names were reversed just after they met?
"Well, I have already made an agreement with my sister. No matter when, she will be the main wife and my sister."
"It has nothing to do with age."
Ma Yaner explained to Zhang Bao with a smile.
Zhang Bao smiled. After all, he became more sensible after going out. Now Ma Yan'er speaks and does things very appropriately.
But the greater a person's change, the more suffering he will suffer outside. Ma Yan'er went from being alone to establishing such a large intelligence organization in just three years. There is no need to think too much about the hardships involved.
"Come!"
"Don't think about unhappy things, just come back today!"
"I'll have three drinks in a row first!"
"Done!"
Just as Zhang Bao was about to say something, Lao He next to him let out a roar and stood up with a wine bottle in hand.
