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

Zhang sighed and told the story.

"Your second aunt gave her money, but her family didn't build a house or buy land. It was all taken away by her good-for-nothing brother. He lost it all in the gambling house and now he still owes people a lot of money."

"So they came to see Second Aunt?"

Zhang nodded and sighed:

"Hey, it's freezing cold, and they're kneeling at the village entrance, refusing to leave. Who are they trying to show off to? Aren't they just trying to force your Second Aunt to give them money?

In the end, your grandfather had Number One throw them out of the village, and if they got close, he would throw them further away."

Song Anning listened quietly. Now she was a little curious about how her second aunt did it.

"What about my second uncle and second aunt? How did they do it?"

Zhang recalled the determination in Liu Yunqiao's eyes that day and smiled with relief.

"Yun Qiao, she has also figured it out.

Your second uncle is soft-hearted and wants to help them pay off their debts. But your second aunt said that she will still receive money for her retirement and for the New Year and other festivals. Her parents gave birth to her and raised her, so she deserves the return now.

The rest of the money is not a penny left. If they threaten to kill themselves, then she will collect the bodies of the two elders."

"Haha, I can imagine the look on Second Aunt's face when she said this.

Mother has changed, Second Aunt has changed, does Grandma still want to move the ancestral grave now?"

"Tsk, you girl! You just make fun of me.

Look at your mother and your second aunt, they are doing great work at the tofu workshop, and everything is going well at home and outside. With two such daughters-in-law, grandma is so lucky."

"Yes! My aunt is fine too.

I took her pulse when I came back just now. She's getting better and better, and her previous illness has healed a lot. In a year or so, she'll be no different from an ordinary person."

"Good! All good!

Our Aning is the best! When you first said you had changed, I didn't believe you.

I never thought that the girl who was such a jerk before would become the hope of our entire village now..."

Since everyone got busy, the grandfather and grandson rarely had time to spend together alone. Today, they took a break from their busy schedule and talked about many personal matters.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiangxiang and Song An Ning got up early, took a carriage and went out. When they came back, Song An Ning was the only one left.

Old Man Pan has been eating at Song Anning's house these days. When he came over at noon, he didn't see Xiangxiang and suddenly felt empty.

"Aning, where's Xiangxiang? Did something happen over there? Did she go back early?"

"No, the time in my parents' world is about two days ahead of ours. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve there, so I won't be going over. Let's video chat later.

Xiangxiang insisted on going and prepared New Year's goods for my parents early.

I told my family that Xiangxiang had gone back to her hometown to pay respects and would only be back on New Year’s Day. Master, please don’t be wrong.”

“Hey, Xiangxiang is also a kind child.

She has been there several times in the past few months, staying for a few days each time, cooking for your parents, cleaning, and accompanying them shopping and going out to play.

She feels that you can't be with your parents often, so she is here to fulfill your filial duties and give you peace of mind."

Song Anning turned on the camera. On the other side of the camera, her mother and father were frying something in the kitchen. Xiangxiang was sitting beside them, eating fried meat in big mouthfuls.

Then, just like she used to, Xiangxiang would steal a piece of meat from the bowl every now and then until she was full and her belly was round.

Song Anning and Old Man Pan were watching over here and couldn't help laughing.

They understood Xiangxiang's painstaking efforts. Everyone hopes to live a long life, and the system is no exception.

Xiangxiang could exchange three years of her life for these six months. How could she have deserved Xiangxiang to do this for her?

Looking at the heartwarming scene on the screen, Song Anning suddenly turned to look at Old Man Pan:

"Master, Xiangxiang is not here now. Can I ask you something?"

"You said."

Old Man Pan looked up at Song An Ning and guessed what she wanted to ask.

"Xiangxiang...can't you always be by my side?"

"Yes. The prerequisite is that the system is never fully upgraded.

But then you can't go back to the original world.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, you always have to make a choice.

I know what you are thinking, and what I want to tell you is: don’t think about it!

Be content with what you have, so that you don’t end up with nothing.”

"I see."

Song An Ning took a deep breath and continued to watch the content on the screen. Neither of the two people in the room mentioned the matter again. After sitting for a while, they went about their own business.

In the early morning of that day, it was New Year's Eve over there. Song Anning set the alarm and turned on the video. The three of them were already busy in the kitchen.

"Mom! Xiangxiang likes the blueberry yam. Did we buy the jam?"

"Don't worry! We've bought everything! There's also your share. I'll send it over to you when it's ready. Don't worry, little greedy cat.

It's morning here, but it's early morning there, right?

Go to sleep quickly, and when you wake up you can eat delicious dumplings!"

Xiangxiang kept nodding beside her, struggling with a dumpling wrapper with her hands.

Song An Ning took a look at the way she made dumplings and really wanted to say: I politely decline.

But how could she discourage her child's enthusiasm? She could eat whatever shape of bun she made.

Song Anning was too busy these days, so she turned on the video and chatted for a while before falling asleep.

On the morning of the second day, which was New Year's Eve, the two elders felt a little unhappy, but because Xiangxiang was there, this feeling was finally alleviated a lot.

Xiangxiang is very smart and has thought of many ways to make the old man happy. Although Song An Ning is not there, there is still laughter in the house.

In a blink of an eye, it was night and the family was watching the Spring Festival Gala. Song Anning said she wanted to watch it too!

The New Year’s bell was about to ring, and Song Anning began to greet people during the New Year.

"Mom and Dad, Happy New Year!

The New Year is almost here! I hope you are happy, safe, and healthy every day.

Daddy caught a fish with his fishing rod, and Mommy's square dancing is getting better and better. If she could buy fewer health supplements, it would be even better..."

"Hey? Naughty kid, why did things get so weird?"

"Haha, don't worry, my girl. I've been watching your mother recently, so you won't be fooled.

Besides, Xiangxiang comes over to check from time to time!

Okay, let’s not talk about this during the New Year. My two daughters are wishing me a happy new year, and the New Year’s money has already been prepared!

One for each person, no fighting!"

It was the New Year, Song Chengbo's injury had healed, and Xiangxiang was with him. His daughter was also doing well over there, and they could even video chat, so he, who had always been quiet, said a lot today. He took out a big red envelope, gave one to Song An Ning, and the other to Xiangxiang.

When Liu Yan saw the red envelope in Xiangxiang's hand, she subconsciously wanted to take it, and then said as a matter of course:

"Mom is saving it for you..."

Song Anning:?

Xiangxiang: ???
