"Auntie."

Aunt Fang was waiting in the main hall awkwardly. When she saw Tang Qiyue appear, she immediately ran over and held her hand, excitedly saying, "Qiyue girl, I found Nannan's father. His father is fine. He and the village chief have settled down in the village now."

Tang Qiyue chuckled, "Congratulations, Auntie. You came to see me today because..."

Xie Changjin sat at the dining table holding Zhaobao, feeding the hungry Naituanzi with egg custard using a wooden spoon, looking calm and composed.

The more Lin looked, the more she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out anything. Then she heard what Aunt Fang said, and she smiled happily, "We found Dagui, that's great."

"Yes, I didn't expect that Dagui was also looking for me and Nannan." Aunt Fang smiled shyly and looked at Tang Qiyue again, "Thanks to Qiyue's care in the past few months, not only did I have a peaceful life, but I also made a lot of money."

She counted the wages Tang Qiuyue gave her last night and found that it was almost twenty taels, which was really too much.

Tang Qiyue waved her hands, "This is what Auntie deserves." After a pause, she continued, "Auntie, do you plan to take Nannan to see Uncle Dagui today? And live in the thatched cottage with him?"

Aunt Fang nodded and said, "Yes, now that we have found Dagui, we can't stay at your house anymore."

"What are you blaming for?" Lin's face immediately darkened. In the past, when she was in Daohua Village, Aunt Fang had taken care of her a lot, as had her own children.

Aunt Fang went to hold Lin's hand again, "Hehua, don't be angry. I won't say anything, but I really can't stay at your house any longer."

Tang Qiyue pursed her lips, "Auntie, have you ever thought about it? There are so many people in that thatched hut. What will they think if you bring Nannan to live there? Also, is there any place for you to live? Nannan is still young, don't you worry that she will be bullied by other children?"

She is not a very kind person, but she cannot bear to put those who help and are kind to her into trouble.

Aunt Fang obviously didn't expect this. After hearing Tang Qiyue's analysis, she was suddenly confused and didn't know what to do.

Zhao Bao, who had eaten his fill at the table, had his mouth wiped with a clean handkerchief by Xie Changjin before being put down from his lap.

As soon as Zhao Bao was put down, he immediately ran to Tang Qiyue's legs, hugged her legs tightly and acted coquettishly, "Mommy, mommy, Bao Bao is full and good."

Tang Qiyue lowered her eyes and touched his head, "Zhao Bao is so good!"

Zhao Bao, who didn't hear what he wanted to hear, continued to act coquettishly and cutely, "Mom, mom, Zhao Bao is so good, is there a reward?"

Hey! Is this guy trying to play tricks on her?

Tang Qiyue pinched his cheek and said, "No, you can't eat anything else if you're full."

Disappointed and aggrieved Zhao Bao continued to be carried back by Xie Changjin, who took out a small wooden horse from his chest and gave it to him, "This is a reward."

Zhao Bao's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Uncle Jin."

uncle……

Xie Changjin felt quite uncomfortable, but there was no way he could correct Zhao Bao's words, so he could only bear with it.

"Aunt, why don't you continue to live at home and wait until the weather gets warmer after the New Year, then recruit people from the village and refugees from the mountains to build a new house."

Aunt Fang thought for a long time and nodded solemnly, "I'll listen to you, July girl."

After seeing off Aunt Fang, Tang Lao San hurried back. "My girl, there are only a few refugees left on the back mountain."

Tang Qiyue raised her eyebrows, "Have you all moved down the mountain and settled down?"

"I heard that in order to have a good New Year, they collected some money and went to the government to settle down. Now I'm afraid they have been arranged in various villages." Due to heavy snow in the past two days, Tang Qiyue did not let Tang Laosan and others go to the back mountain to check on the condition of the greenhouse.

Today, Tang Lao San couldn't sit still and insisted on going to take a look. He saw that more than half of the refugees were missing from the back mountain.

"That's good." Tang Qiyue nodded. It was not a good idea to always live in the mountains. It was difficult to survive with such heavy snow.

Aunt Fang came to the thatched cottage again and saw Fang Dagui waiting at the door from a distance. She ran over and asked, "Why are you standing outside? Are you cold?"

Fang Dagui scratched his head and smiled innocently, "It's not cold, I just wanted to see my daughter." He didn't know whether his daughter had lost weight or gained weight.

"The snow is too deep, and I didn't bring my daughter here because she is too young. I came here today to discuss something with you..." Aunt Fang then told Tang Qiyue about her concerns and solutions, but did not mention Tang Qiyue's name.

"Okay, okay, I think this is a good idea. I can't let you and your daughter suffer with me. There are too many people in the room." Fang Dagui was not angry at all.

Aunt Fang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this, and stuffed the bundle she brought into his arms, "There are two new coats in here, one for you and one for mother, you must wear them."

Although it was dark yesterday, she really saw her man's thin and ragged clothes. After returning home, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She felt more distressed. So, early in the morning, she rummaged through the boxes and brought back the jacket she had made before.

"A new coat made for me?" Fang Dagui's eyes lit up, and his hands holding the bundle trembled with excitement.

Ever since he fled, he has been wearing tattered clothes every day. Today he finally has a new coat!

Aunt Fang nodded hurriedly and said, "If not for you, who else can I do it for?" After saying that, she glared at him.

"Go back soon. I'll bring you something to eat later." After agreeing on a time to meet again, Aunt Fang ran away in the heavy snow.

Fang Dagui was left standing there in a daze, his eyes widened as if he remembered something. If he had heard correctly, Nannan's mother said that she would build a new house after the New Year, right?

Fang Dagui was too stunned to stand there any longer, and ran into the thatched hut with his bag in his arms.

There were only five thatched huts, and at least ten people lived in one hut. Fang Dagui and his mother squeezed together with Village Chief Fang's family and another family from the same village.

Seeing Fang Dagui running in with a red face, Aunt Fang stood up immediately with a bundle in her hand, "Dagui, is this something given by your mother? Come and show it to me."

Fang Dagui stepped aside and took out the red jacket inside, "This is a new jacket that Nannan's mother made for you. Put it on quickly."

After saying that, he put on another navy blue jacket.

The other villagers who didn't have new coats and were huddled together for warmth were envious and hurried over to talk to Aunt Fang.

Fang Dagui found the village chief Fang and told him that he wanted to build a new house after the New Year. Village chief Fang expressed his support and happiness.

"Okay, okay, Dagui, you are lucky!" Village Chief Fang patted his shoulder happily and laughed.

"Dagui really made the right choice in marrying a wife. Look at this coat. It's so warm inside and the cotton is new. It's not like the ones we wear. The cotton has been turned over so many times that it's all clumped up and not warm anymore."

"Who says it's not?"

Some are happy and some are jealous.
