"this is for you."

Under the eaves, Tang Qiyue had just stood still when she saw an exquisite wooden box being handed to her. It was even bigger and more noble than the one her father had just taken out. She was stunned.

Her sight moved from the wooden box to the face of the man in front of her. Tang Qiyue dodged for a moment, looked at the rain behind him, and asked with a dry voice, "What is this?"

She didn't take it, so he kept holding it in front of her, not giving her an inch.

Seeing that he was silent and serious, Tang Qiyue couldn't help but continue to ask, "What is this? What are you doing for me?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared.

"A gift for Zhaobao's second birthday? He's still young, you don't need to prepare a gift for him."

"No."

The words that Tang Qiyue was about to say were suddenly stuck in her throat. "Wha...what?"

"It's not for Zhaobao, it's for you." Xie Changjin's voice was deep, with a certain strength that could not be ignored.

Tang Qiyue suddenly took back the hand that was about to take it, immediately put it behind her back, and silently took a small step back, "I don't want it."

Why give her a gift for no reason?

She had no idea what the man in front of her was thinking, she just felt that it was not right to accept gifts casually.

Seeing her keep refusing, Xie Changjin's expression became much uglier. He spoke word by word, "Thank you for covering for me."

Those few cold words made Tang Qiyue shiver inexplicably. A gust of wind with rain happened to blow, making her feel even colder.

Xie Changjin noticed it and quietly moved his feet to block out the wind and rain outside.

Tang Qiyue still shook her head, "I won't accept it. I've already accepted the jade pendant you gave me. I don't want this one."

Could it be that this person has too much money to spend and is very panicked?

"Take it." Xie Changjin suddenly became assertive. Without saying a word, he stuffed the wooden box into Tang Qiyue's arms and turned away.

Tang Qiyue hurriedly took the wooden box and looked up to return it to him, but there was someone in front of her!

"No way, why are you walking so fast!"

There was no other way, Tang Qiyue could only take the wooden box back to the house temporarily, but she did not open it to take a look, thinking that it would be best to find a chance to throw it directly into someone's house.

At this time, Zhao Bao, who knew that his mother had returned, could not sit still at all. He ran back panting and hugged Tang Qiyue's thighs directly, "Mom, Zhao Bao missed you so much!"

Tang Qiyue gently touched his sweaty head from running, "Mom misses our Zhaobao too!"

Holding the little boy on her lap, Tang Qiyue took out the longevity lock and silver bracelet she had bought, "This is a gift from mother to Zhaobao. Does our Zhaobao like it?"

Zhao Bao's big round eyes followed the two things in Tang Qiyue's hands and swayed left and right. He stretched out his little hands to grab them, "Yes! Mother, Zhao Bao wants it!"

Zhaobao now speaks very clearly and fluently. He can use his limited vocabulary to describe what he likes and dislikes, and what he wants to eat.

Tang Qiyue carefully put the longevity lock around Zhaobao's neck, asked him to hold it in his hand and look at it, and then put the silver bracelet on his left wrist.

Naituanzi is now much stronger, and his arms are segmented like lotus roots. He looks particularly good in the silver bracelet.

After Zhaobao had played with the longevity lock enough, Tang Qiyue helped him put it into his inner clothes and told him, "This is what mother bought for our Zhaobao to keep him safe, so Zhaobao must protect it well, okay? Don't take it out of your clothes, okay?"

Zhao Bao nodded his little head blankly, "Zhao Bao knows."

When her son grows up a little, Tang Qiyue plans to buy him a nourishing jade pendant. For now, just these two things will be enough for him.

After giving instructions to her son, Tang Qiuyue took out another bag of pastries and placed them on the table, asking him to eat, but not too much, just one piece at most.

Zhao Bao pursed his lips, "Then mother, can I give this cake to my aunt and Aunt Xiaohua?"

Tang Qiyue nodded, "Of course."

Zhao Bao's big watery eyes lit up, "Mother, you have a good rest. Zhao Bao will go play with aunt."

"Go, go." Children like to play, so Tang Qiyue didn't hold him back, as long as he didn't run away.

Zhaobao is very smart. He hasn't had enough of the dolls and building blocks his mother made for him. He also usually listens to his uncle reading. He is so busy!

If Tang Qiyue knew what her good son was thinking, she would probably give him a couple of slaps on the butt!

After Zhao Bao's little figure disappeared from the door, Tang Qiyue remembered the brush and inkstone she bought for Tang Qingshu, as well as Tang Shuyao's butterfly hairpin. She quickly found them and gave them to him.

...

It was already evening when Village Chief Fang returned to the dilapidated temple from the yamen. In order to save money on the journey, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren chose to walk.

"Uncle Village Chief, what's going on? Can we be grouped together?"

"Please tell us quickly, we are so nervous and scared!"

Village Chief Fang took a big gulp of cold water, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said slowly, "The settlement has been completed. Here are your household registration documents. Come forward and get them according to the names I call."

After the household registration of each family was divided, many people were still asking whether everyone was together.

"Village Chief, is the money we collected working? Do we not have to split it up?"

Village Chief Fang pondered for a long time and replied, "It is true that we don't need to be separated, but there are so many of us, so the village we are assigned to may not be very lively and may be very remote. Everyone should be mentally prepared."

He stuffed the money that should be stuffed in, but it's not enough to just have the money. He also has to see which villages have fewer people and maybe squeeze them in!

"Ah? Are you going to arrange us in a remote place? How are we going to go to the market in the future? The mountain road is already difficult to walk on, what are we going to do in the future?"

"That's right! If you want to eat some meat, you have to walk until your legs are broken!"

All kinds of noisy and dissatisfied voices rang out in the dilapidated temple, giving people a headache.

Village chief Fang didn't say anything and just let them argue.

In the corner, Old Lady Tang pounded her palms heavily, "If we had known earlier, we wouldn't live with the villagers! How are we going to live in the future!"

The question is, I regret it now! Mrs. Tang was very angry.

Tang Yueling listened to Old Lady Tang's curse with a dark look in her eyes. Did she really want him to stay in the village for the rest of his life?

No!

Absolutely not!

"Grandma, why don't you go talk to the village chief and ask him to assign us to a better village?"

Old Lady Tang glanced at her pretty granddaughter and said, "It's already been decided. We can divide it up as we please. I'm afraid it's already been listed in the government office!"

Realizing this, Old Lady Tang became even angrier.

"You want to settle down separately? Are you serious?"
