45 The Return
Li Mantun didn't expect Li Qiuya to leave without sending a letter to his family.

Grandma Li talked about her a lot at home, because she was afraid that she would also have a bad life at her husband's house.

Jiang Quhan took a look at Li Mantun's face, distributed the rice cake he had left to one Li Cunbao, and handed the other to Li Mantun, and said, "Sister-in-law and the others probably left in a hurry, so let's tell the family if you are in a hurry. Father, this rice cake is quite delicious, you can eat one."

Li Mantun didn't pick it up, but said, "You eat by yourself."

Jiang Quhan stuffed it into his hand and said, "I've already eaten one, and you haven't eaten all morning, so hurry up, Dad."

Li Mantun couldn't resist her, so he took it and broke it in half, put half in his arms, and ate the half in three or two bites. It was only the size of a palm.

He said, "Save some for your mother." Li Mantun originally wanted to save some for Grandma Li, but now that there are too many people in the family, there is not enough for her. Even if half a rice cake is given to Grandma Li, it will not be able to enter her stomach. , It is better to do more than to do less.

He didn't ask Jiang Quhan the price of the rice cake, he knew it wouldn't be too low, and he didn't ask where she had the money to buy it, so he regarded it as his daughter's filial piety.

Li Cunbao took the rice cake, but didn't eat it directly, he also broke it in half, gave half to Jiang Quhan, and ate the remaining half by himself.

Jiang Quhan didn't pick it up, she felt sorry for her younger brother, she was hungry every day, not to mention Li Cunbao who was growing up.

Such a big rice cake is enough to fill a stomach.

She said: "I really ate it. I wanted to keep some to eat with you, but I couldn't hold back. There's not much of this one. Eat it quickly."

Hearing what she said, Li Cunbao took it and ate it in a few mouthfuls.

He wiped his mouth after eating, and then said to Li Mandun: "It should be safer to go with the caravan."

Li Mandun hummed, making the two of them speed up their pace of going home.

The main reason is that he found that more people were staring at them intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Cunbao and Jiang Quhan also found out, and Jiang Quhan was a little nervous.

She trotted a few steps to Li Cunbao's side, and walked quickly beside him.

Li Cunbao took Jiang Quhan's hand and comforted her silently.

Li Mantun took out three thick wooden sticks from his bamboo betel, and handed one to each of them.

The malicious people around probably saw that they were not easy to mess with, and gradually dispersed.

There are also one or two who are not willing to let it go, and follow them without doing anything.

They waited until they entered Xiaotao Village and saw many patrolling villagers at the entrance of the village before giving up and leaving.

Just two days ago, the patriarch had directly increased the number of patrols from a squad of two to a squad of five, and the entrance of the village was the key patrol location.

Li Mantun was still at the entrance of the village saying hello to familiar villagers and talking about the situation in the town.

Jiang Quhan and Li Cunbao ran home first.

Before they could take a breath, they were called into the room by Grandma Li who was waiting at the door.

Without waiting for Grandma Li to ask, Jiang Quhan told Li Qiuya that she had left with the caravan and the situation in the town.

When Grandma Li heard that Li Qiuya had left, she sighed and murmured to herself, "Hey, it's fine to leave, but I just don't know if I'm safe on the road. It's hard in this world."

Li Cunbao gave the grain in the bamboo locust and the remaining copper coins to Grandma Li for collection, and Jiang Quhan gave the salt to Grandma Li.
