I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Okay, okay, please speak slowly..."

"Sister-in-law Xiao Yao is pregnant. This pregnancy was hard-won, so she can only stay at home to take care of it.

Brother Chen often stays at home with me, so the shop has no one to manage it and it is simply not going to work.

So the Chen family called a few managers over, and seeing the two children in the shop, they felt that they were too young to do anything, so..."

"What? Now it's their turn to be dissatisfied?

You, Brother Chen, are the same! You didn't explain it clearly in advance, and you didn't handle it as well as I did!

These two children are so sensible, they work very efficiently, smile when they talk to people, and are very polite, yet they are even disliked by a manager! "

Wang Ying'er was shocked when she thought about her two children who had lost their parents and were having to make a living outside at such a young age, and were being despised as the New Year was approaching.

As a mother, she couldn't bear to see this. Before she could say a few words, tears came out.

"Oh, mother, what happened?

I was fine, but I still cried."

Song An Ning quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her mother's tears. In fact, she was also feeling uncomfortable.

"It's okay, Mom, I just feel sorry for the child.

Xiaoyu is only one year older than Ah Yue, and she works all day in the shop, earning her hard-earned money! And they are the ones who despise her?

In the summer, how many people left that shop exhausted? Even your second uncle came home and said his feet were sore from standing all day.

Never mind, just take it first. We don’t lack food at home.

However, I have a brother after all, so I still need to discuss this with Xiao Hai."

Song Anning nodded. In fact, she didn't blame Chen Guanghui for anything. As the year was coming to an end, the Chen family must have a lot of things to do, and it would not be enough to rely on Chen Guanghui alone.

Chen Guanghui has to take care of his wife and children, run the milk tea shop, and take care of some trivial matters of the Chen family. It is normal for him to neglect some small matters.

"Don't be angry, Mom.

I believe that Brother Chen definitely did not do it on purpose. The last time Xiangxiang and I went to Linhai Town, we saw my sister-in-law taking Xiaoyu to buy clothes. The fabrics were the same as those for her own children, which was already very good.

However, I think these two children staying in the shop all the time are too tired and will definitely hinder their growth.

And every time I see the children in the village studying or practicing martial arts, I think of them two.

So in two days, I plan to have a discussion with Brother Xiaohai, also for their future plans.

Besides, we don’t have enough manpower in our village. The two kids are hardworking and can make money anywhere.”

"Well, you're thoughtful.

I still need to learn from you. I was so angry just now that I didn’t think carefully about what happened here.”

Song Anning held Wang Yinger's hand and acted coquettishly with her:

"No, Mom has done a great job.

It’s getting better and better…”

"You are the only one with a sweet mouth..."

After discussing this, the family gathered around the table and ate the hot pot.

On a snowy day, eating hot pot, the delicious mushroom soup and hot beef fat, the thin slices of meat dipped in the sauce and put into the mouth, the whole body is warmed up.

In the afternoon, the family found two small clay stoves, boiled milk tea, ate some snacks, and gathered together to talk, reminisce about the past, and make plans for the next year.

The next day, the snow gradually stopped.

They say it’s warm when it snows, but cold when it melts.

After the heavy snow, the weather was unbearably cold. With the north wind blowing so hard, I didn't want to go out of the house at all. Even going to the toilet required courage.

Song Anning and Xiangxiang stayed at home for two days. When they had nothing to do, they would go to the space to stay for a while. The points of Brother Yangguang and Sister Yingqi were never touched again. It was as if they had disappeared, and there was no news at all.

Two days later, the temperature finally returned to normal. Song An Ning put on a thick cloak and went to Linhai Town with Xiangxiang.

The milk tea shop was still crowded with people. Chen Guanghui was busy and sweating. Song Anning and Xiangxiang didn't say anything and went into the house to help first. They didn't take a break until the milk was gone and only hot fruit tea was left.

As soon as they sat down, Chen Guanghui said guiltily:

“Master, it’s all my fault.

I had a lot of things to do at home in the past two days and didn't take care of the shop much.

Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu have suffered a lot of injustice, and I feel so distressed, ah..."

Song Anning knew that Chen Guanghui was really heartbroken. They had been together for so long, and Chen Guanghui and his wife even treated them as their own children.

"That day, your sister-in-law went out to buy something. She walked around the shop and saw Xiaoyu being ordered by the manager to scrub the wooden barrels for milk. She was so distressed that she cried for the whole afternoon and sent the manager away.

These two children have been helping out a lot in the shop, but it’s not going to work this way. My husband and I have decided:

Xiaochuan is smart, so sending him to school to learn some words will make it easier for him to do business in the future.

As for Xiaoyu, whether you stay at home or with your sister-in-law, don’t bother working in the shop, otherwise we will feel guilty..."

Song Anning knew they would do this, but she still expressed her thoughts.

"Old Man Pan will stay in Banyue Village and teach the children how to read and write, identify herbs, and practice martial arts.

I hope they will go there too. The village is very busy, with many opportunities to make money and plenty of playmates."

"Master, if you say so, I want to learn..."

Chen Guanghui previously thought that his plan was comprehensive, but compared with his master's, it was still lacking.

"We're both talking so much here, and we haven't even asked Brother Xiao Hai for his opinion.

Let's take the two of them and discuss it with Brother Xiao Hai later, shall we?"

"Let's go! I'll arrange a carriage."

Several people took a horse-drawn carriage and came to a small fishing village by the sea.

Now that it is winter and he cannot go out to sea, Yu Xiaohai cleaned the house very well, especially A Yue's room, and added a small door curtain made of shells.

Song Anning went straight to the point and talked about the matter as soon as he sat down.

"Brother Xiaohai, don't worry, there are two new courtyards behind my house, and you three will have a place to live there.

If you don't want to go, Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu can come back often. After all, the boats from Huaichuan Prefecture come every two or three days now, which is very convenient."

Yu Xiaohai laughed foolishly after hearing this. He touched his head and said a little embarrassedly:

“My brain is in vain, but Ogawa is really smart.

Before, I was thinking about sending him to school.

But before I got into trouble, it was you, Aning, who saved our family, and it was Brother Chen who gave them the opportunity to make money. People should not forget their roots. I am really embarrassed to talk about this.

Now that you have brought it up, how can I, as your brother, disagree?

Xiaoyu likes medicinal herbs, so she will definitely learn a lot from Mr. Pan."

Song Anning looked at Xiaoyu in surprise, as if he had picked up a great treasure.

If Old Man Pan knew that the little girl who grew up by the sea actually liked herbs, he would definitely be happy.

At this time, Yu Xiaohai also pulled Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu and knelt in front of Song An Ning.

"Aning, the three of us brothers and sisters sincerely thank you..."

Yu Xiaohai spoke a lot from the bottom of his heart, and the two children behind him banged their heads loudly.

Song An Ning couldn't stand this the most, so she quickly winked at Xiangxiang and helped them up. Then they sat together and talked for a while.

When they were packing up to leave, Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu jumped three feet high and chattered, asking their brother to bring more things.

Since he couldn't go out to sea in winter, Yu Xiaohai also planned to go to Banyue Village with his younger brothers and sisters to take care of them, and also to meet his old friend Song Zeyu, who had shared hardships with him.

An hour later, Yu Xiaohai, his younger brother and sister boarded the boat to Banyue Village.

Chen Guanghui stood on the shore, waving his hands, secretly wiping away tears, and constantly comforting himself:

This is a happy thing. The two children are going to learn something. They will definitely get better and better...

Song Anning stood on the deck, wrapped his cloak tightly around him, and looked ahead with some anticipation in his eyes.

"Sister! Let's go back to the village later. There will be a surprise."

Xiangxiang whispered something in Song An Ning's ear. She shivered when she came out of the warm cabin. Her mysterious look made Song An Ning laugh.

"Tsk! Don't keep me in suspense!

Isn't it just Zhou Nanxing who's here? I've been looking at the map since early morning!

Half a year later, she finally came back!"
