90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Xie Yan noticed the change in Yang Qin's expression. She guessed that Yang Qin had lived in Xiangjiazhai all her life and had never even been to the prefecture-level city where she lived. She was very familiar with this place.

She must have recognized whose baby girl this was.

However, in that era, the abandonment of baby girls was very common in rural areas, especially in places where families lived together.

Not only do they not think there is a problem, they even cover for each other.

Due to the poor awareness of contraception at that time, Xiangjiazhai, located in a remote area and based on a small peasant economy, was a mountain village with only a few roads and farmers without any means of entertainment, so the fertility rate was extremely high.

Many people are obsessed with the idea that only by giving birth to sons and grandsons can they be considered to have successors.

A girl born becomes a burden to the family, and no one is willing to adopt her. The baby girl is then abandoned by her parents.

Many families throw away their newborn daughters as soon as they see they are having a baby girl until a boy is born.

Xie Yan still remembers that a few years ago, people would often abandon baby girls in front of the police station at five or six in the morning.

A baby girl was wrapped in a blanket with a note on it that had her birth date written on it.

Some vicious parents will directly throw their baby girls into the mountains.

Xie Yan turned her head, stopped what she was doing, and asked Yang Qin curiously: "Grandma, do you know her?"

Yang Qin shook her head. She wasn't lying. She was certain that the baby girl must have been abandoned by someone from a nearby village. "She looks familiar, but I can't recognize her."

Xie Yan sighed when she heard this. She didn't know her grandmother, but she knew that she disdained to lie.

After all, my grandmother's mother was a petty bourgeois in those days, and her father was the local headman.

After liberation, for special reasons, my grandmother married my grandfather, who was a veterinarian. She received a good education for a period of time.

The whole person is a contradictory existence, noble and yet materialistic, which is very different from the ordinary village women.

Xie Yan boiled a pot of water on the stove, and then found a bottle of white wine and a pair of scissors from her fifth uncle's room.

She put the scissors on the stove to heat them red to disinfect them, then disinfected the scissors with white wine, and then used the scissors to cut off the umbilical cord connected to the placenta.

The series of movements were done in one go, and the skilled and familiar movements caused a slight change in the eyes of Yang Qin who was standing next to him.

Xie Yan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She poured a basin of boiling water into the only small aluminum foot basin in her grandmother's house, took out her towel, and wet it with the boiling water.

When the temperature was right, she used her own towel to wipe the baby girl's body, which was still covered with amniotic fluid, oil, and even blood.

After cleaning the baby girl, she gently wrapped her up again and put on the diaper given by her aunt.

This type of diaper is actually a bed sheet with flowers printed on it, torn into regular strips of cloth, and is usually made from old bed sheets.

Judging from the appearance of the umbilical cord and placenta, the baby girl was thrown into the mountains by her parents when she was only one day old.

Xie Yan lowered her head and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Yang Qin watched silently from the side. She stared at Xie Yan quietly. Her eyes, which were as lifeless as a dry well, were particularly bright under the soft yellow incandescent light. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was extremely gentle.

Xie Yan, the seemingly weak granddaughter, actually has extraordinary tenacity and kindness in her heart.

At this moment, she suddenly fell in love with Xie Yan.

This child looked very much like the first time she saw Old Xie when she first arrived in Xiangjiazhai many years ago.

Xie Yan's personality is like her and her deceased husband.

"Xie Yan, what are you going to do with this little girl?" Yang Qin finally spoke, her voice lazily. "This little girl has a hard life. Meeting you is her blessing. But let me make it clear, I can't raise her."

Xie Yan looked up, tears glistening in her eyes, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Wait until tomorrow, call the police, and find the child's parents first."

If she has no parents, then I will be her sister.

Xie Yan thought so.

She put the goat milk she got from her third aunt into a gourd ladle and warmed it on the stove.

It is almost impossible to find bottles and pacifiers in this remote area. She can only sterilize the goat milk at high temperature to kill at least a large number of harmful bacteria in it, and then wait until it cools down before feeding it to the baby girl.

Yang Qin had no intention of helping Xie Yan, but she would not stop Xie Yan either. She just pulled out a small stool and sat there quietly watching Xie Yan.

Xie Yan ignored Yang Qin and took a small spoon and a small bowl, filled a bowl with boiled goat milk and set it aside to wait for it to cool down.

"Yan Yan, I always feel that you have become a different person." Yang Qin said suddenly.

Xie Yan's hand paused slightly, and the spoon lightly touched the edge of the bowl, making a slight sound.

She looked up at Yang Qin, a barely perceptible complex emotion flashed across her eyes, and then she regained her composure.

"Grandma, people always have to grow up, don't they?" Xie Yan answered softly, with a barely perceptible bitterness and relief in her tone. She didn't have a very good relationship with her grandmother, and she could feel her grandmother's partiality most intuitively.

"Yes, people grow up. You are becoming more and more like your grandfather." Yang Qin's eyes softened.

Xie Yan couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart when she heard this.

When it comes to her grandfather, she doesn't have any impression of him. He passed away when she was three years old, and she has no memory of being three years old at all.

She only knew that everyone said that Fourth Uncle looked exactly like Grandpa, and seeing Fourth Uncle was like seeing Grandpa.

"Grandpa..." Xie Yan whispered, "I don't remember."

"Grandma... I didn't do well in the past. I'm sorry." Yang Qin's voice was still cold. "I just don't think you can inherit your grandfather's legacy."

Xie Yan was stunned. She didn't expect her grandmother to suddenly say such a thing.

"So, you're apologizing to me now because you think I can inherit Grandpa's legacy?"

There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in Xie Yan's words.

When Yang Qin heard this, her face turned pale. She was very embarrassed that Xie Yan had hit upon her inner thoughts.

She opened her mouth, but found her throat was dry and no sound came out.

Yes, she didn't like Xie Yan's mother, so naturally she didn't like Xie Yan either, and she had some prejudice against Xie Yan.

She always believed that what kind of mother a woman is, she will raise her daughter like her.

Xie Jianhua is her favorite son, the hope of the Xie family, and the only one who inherited the Xie family's medical skills.

From the very beginning, she was against Xie Jianhua marrying Lin Luping. If Lin Luping hadn't used the pregnancy of Xie Yan to threaten them...

Yang Qin sighed, maybe she was wrong, the child was innocent.

Xie Yan is not as pretentious and trouble-making as Lin Luping, but she has inherited the calmness and steadiness of Old Xie.

She turned around and went back to her room, moved a newly made thin cotton quilt to Xie Yan's bed, and left quietly.

It’s cold in the mountains, and Xie Yan, who has a baby girl to take care of, might not be able to sleep well tonight.

At this point, the goat milk has cooled to a suitable temperature.

Xie Yan carefully picked it up and gently fed it to the baby girl in her arms.

The baby girl's face flushed with satisfaction, and her little mouth sucked vigorously, making a "gulp gulp" sound.
