The next day, the young and middle-aged men in the village went to help. The few bodies dug out yesterday had already been claimed by someone. One was from their Xinghua Village, and some were from other villages. The sound of suona had been heard since early morning, and the atmosphere of the New Year had already dissipated yesterday.

Song Tingzhi ate two steamed buns and drank a bowl of porridge in the morning and went out. Xu Sanniang asked him to wear more clothes and let him go.

Even though Jiang Cheng was worried, there was nothing he could do. His relatives might still be in the snow. He could only take good care of Doudou at home and not cause trouble for Song Tingzhi.

After two more days of hard work, they had found almost all the people they needed to look for. Three men in Xinghua Village had unfortunately passed away, and the village was filled with mourning music.

Aunt Wang had completely lost hope. Everyone in the family had kept it a secret from Ye Xiaoman, but Ye Xiaoman could sense something was wrong. However, when she asked Song Qiangdong, he refused to tell her, and Ye Xiaoman had no choice.

The atmosphere in the house was eerily quiet, and Aunt Wang was secretly wiping away her tears in the room.

"Dad! Mom! I'm back!"

Aunt Wang was still crying in the house while holding Song Qiangnan's things when she heard a familiar voice coming from the yard.

"Qiang... Qiangnan..." Aunt Wang took a while to react, then stumbled out and saw that Song Qiangnan was staying in the yard well!

"Qiangnan, are you okay?" Aunt Wang walked over and looked again. Seeing that Song Qiangnan had no injuries but his clothes were torn, she suddenly burst into tears and slapped Song Qiangnan while crying, "Where have you been, child? I'm so worried!"

Aunt Wang's noise prompted Song Qiangdong and the others to come out. Seeing that his brother was fine, Song Qiangdong felt relieved! The family was finally relieved!

After Aunt Wang recovered, she saw that Song Qiangnan looked exhausted, so she asked him to go into the house to change clothes and have dinner. Aunt Wang turned around and was about to pull Song Qiangnan into the house, but was stopped by Song Qiangnan.

"Mom, I have something to tell you..." Song Qiangnan said after hesitating for a while.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Wang asked curiously, relieved that her son was fine.

"Come in!" Song Qiangnan shouted towards the door. Aunt Wang turned her head and found a little head sticking out of the door with a timid look in her eyes.

Song Qiangnan went over and brought in the child, a boy, about four or five years old. "Mom, I adopted this child. His name is Xuanxuan."

Aunt Wang looked at the child and then at Song Qiangnan, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Song Qiangnan supported Aunt Wang with one hand and walked inside holding the child with the other, "Let's go inside and talk!"

After Song Qiangnan entered the house, he first found something for the child to eat, and then told Aunt Song Bo and Wang the truth.

When Song Qiangnan was working as a clerk in a security agency, the agency took on a business. When they passed through the mountainous area, it happened that there was a landslide in that area. Song Qiangnan's agency was fine, but the road was blocked. They could only stay there to repair it and help the locals find someone.

This child was rescued by Song Qiangnan. His parents were trapped in the house and were dead when they were found. The child had no other relatives. Song Qiangdong had no intention of getting married anyway, so he took him in out of pity for him.

When I came back this time, I took a long detour and didn't take the avalanche mountain road, but I was still affected, so I came back late.

Aunt Wang glanced at Xuanxuan, who was eating happily, and whispered, "I'm not against you raising this child, but how are you going to get married after you raise him?"

Aunt Wang also felt sorry for the child, but no matter how pitiful she was, she had brought a child home for nothing. Song Qiangnan had not yet proposed marriage, so there would probably be even fewer matchmakers coming to the door.

"Mom, I don't want to get married for the time being. Let's wait a little longer!" Song Qiangnan really had no desire to get married, but it was not easy to say it directly. He could only say that he didn't want to get married now and would delay it as long as possible.

"Okay then!" Aunt Wang sighed. She didn't want to force him, so she decided to take it slow!

The family could afford to feed one more mouth to feed. When Aunt Wang saw Xuanxuan was full, she went over to touch his head and said distressedly, "Xuanxuan, call me grandma!"

"Grandma...Grandma..." Xuanxuan glanced at Song Qiangnan and saw him nod before he called her Aunt Wang in a low voice.

"Hey!" Aunt Wang responded lovingly. Yangyang is still young now, and it's nice to hear the child call her grandma.

When Song Qiangnan knew that his sister-in-law had given birth to a big fat boy, he asked his eldest brother to bring the child out for him to see. Song Qiangnan looked at Yangyang's chubby little face, reached out and touched it, took out some silver bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Yangyang's arms.

"What are you doing?" Song Qiangdong asked when he saw this action.

"Brother, this is for my eldest nephew, not for you! Keep it!" Song Qiangnan patted Song Qiangdong and turned to go to his room to change clothes.

Xuanxuan saw the doll in Song Qiangdong's arms and poked its head out curiously. Seeing him like this, Song Qiangdong thought that it was the child brought back by his younger brother, so he called him over to take a look.

————

Xu Sanniang was relieved to know that Song Qiangnan had returned, and was happy for Aunt Wang. She knew that Song Qiangnan had the same idea as Aunt Wang when he brought a child back, but there was nothing she could do since he had already brought the child back.

"Why doesn't Qiangnan want to get married? Is he still thinking about Xiaoxiao?" Xu Sanniang guessed.

"I don't know what he's thinking. I can't take care of this child now!" Aunt Wang didn't understand either. She couldn't tell that he was thinking about Lu Xiaoxiao, but why didn't he want to get married? She couldn't really spend her whole life with the child!

"Okay, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Just wait and see, maybe in a year or two, Qiangnan will figure it out!" Xu Sanniang comforted.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now!" Aunt Wang didn't want to care too much, as long as the children were fine!

The next day, Song Qiangnan brought Xuanxuan over to meet the family. Yu Sanniang gave him some New Year's money in advance. Xuanxuan didn't dare to accept it at first, but Song Qiangnan said it was from his second grandmother and asked him to accept it. Only then did Xuanxuan dare to accept it.

Seeing that the child was so obedient, Xu Sanniang praised Song Qiangnan for being lucky, and Song Qiangnan also responded.

After Song Qiangnan took Xuanxuan away, Xu Sanniang looked at his back and felt that he and Lu Xiaoxiao were a good match, but the rumors were hurtful!
