Chi Erchuan didn't come out. Instead, Chi Shuxing pulled Xiao Suotou, Silang, and Wulang over and asked expectantly, "Will our little aunt still recognize us?"
Chi Tang nodded, then asked, "Die Die, can I kiss my nephew?"
Why won't Grandpa let our aunt have her?
Why won't Grandpa let our aunt have her?
"Why……"
The series of repetitive sounds gave Old Man Chi a headache.
Old Man Chi walked away with a dark expression.
Raising a daughter is so difficult.
Especially since her own daughter is so clever and mischievous.
Old Man Chi entrusted this important task to Aunt Chi: "Teach your daughter a good lesson. How can she just kiss people like that?"
"I don't like what you're saying. Tangtang likes Chenyi, doesn't she? Have you ever seen Tangtang kiss Kuo'er?"
Old Man Chi: ...
Aunt Chi: "Chen Yi isn't an outsider, he's like Tang Tang's own brother. You're worrying about this kind of thing now, do you even want to live?"
Old Man Chi: ...
Doesn't this woman care at all?
So he's the only one who cares?
"Fine, fine, you're right! You don't care, huh? Then just wait until your daughter gets lured away by a few pieces of candy, and see if you cry then!"
Old Man Chi roared in exasperation.
Aunt Chi, however, was full of confidence: "My daughter can't be fooled by a few pieces of candy. Dream on. Unless someone even better looking than Chen Yi comes along."
As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her mother.
Aunt Chi had long since figured it out; her daughter was someone who judged by appearances.
However, judging by appearances was only the beginning. The fact that she liked Chen Yi so much was also inseparable from Chen Yi's taste in Tang Tang.
"You women can't reason with me! Humph!"
Old Man Chi turned away arrogantly, furious.
A group of little kids were giggling there.
Hearing the children's laughter, Chi Erchuan, who lived next door, gradually felt better.
What's there to be sad about?
All those years of relationship were nothing more than a game of control.
My deep affection was nothing but an illusion.
Years of extravagance have ultimately amounted to nothing but a fleeting dream.
From now on, he will just be himself, focusing on being a good son to his parents!

Time flies like an arrow, and before we know it, it's already March.
On the fifth day after Chi Dashan and Li Mingfan left, Chi Sanhe also returned.
Unfortunately, there is still no news of An'an.
The events in Jin Yang Town have been thoroughly investigated, and the once-powerful Wang family in Beiyang City has come to an end.
But that was all; the investigation didn't continue.
The charcoal business made a fortune during the Chinese New Year.
Liu Demiao also specially bought a lot of things to visit them, and said that it was too late this year, and that they should prepare to sell them early next year, and they would definitely make a fortune!
However, not all the money earned went into Liu Demiao's pocket.
Liu Demiao donated a considerable amount of silver to the city government.
He also promised that if charcoal production resumed by the end of this year, the Beiyang government and the local government would cooperate. As for the charcoal business in other cities, Liu Demiao would have the final say.
However, everyone knew that the charcoal business would eventually fall into the hands of the government.
It's only a matter of time.
But Liu Demiao is already very content.
By then he will have made a fortune. If he honestly gives it to the court, the court will remember his good deeds. Why not?
When Liu Demiao came, he also said that when the report was submitted to the court, the contributions of the Chi family should be mentioned.
The Chi family was extremely grateful for this.
It wasn't that I was vain; I just thought that with this connection, it would be easier to find An'an.
Meanwhile, because the two families had become much closer, the Chi family shamelessly asked Liu Demiao to help them find An'an.
"In this case, I think there's a high chance she was sold, either to a family without children or to a wealthy family as a page or something similar. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate for you."
When Liu Demiao learned that Huo Chenyi had been searching for half a year without success, Liu Demiao's heart skipped a beat.
This is a hot potato.
but……
"Mr. Liu, if you know anyone in Beijing, could you try looking there? I've already searched all the surrounding towns, but there's no one there."
Chi Sanhe said urgently.
Now only the capital city and its surrounding suburbs remain.
It wasn't that Chi Sanhe was too lazy to look, but rather that he knew that in that kind of place, without connections, it would be impossible to move an inch.
Although his parents have already written to Chenyi, having more people looking for him always gives them more hope, right?
"Sure, sure. By the way, weren't you moving? Have you decided where you're moving to?"
"The capital city!"
Aunt Chi said without hesitation.
Her biggest wish right now is to find An'an as soon as possible.
"Alright."
“My dear in-laws, we don’t plan to move anymore. The Wang family is no longer a threat, so we want to buy this courtyard and settle down here peacefully. We don’t want to keep moving around. There’s plenty of land here, so we can buy some.”
Old Man Li slowly revealed his plans.
Before Old Man Chi could react, Liu Demiao said with a smile, "That's perfect. I'm planning to build a charcoal workshop in Qingshui Town, and Old Man Li can come and help me out."
His hometown is Qingshui Town, so he secretly wanted to move the Beiyang City government's charcoal workshop to his hometown so that he could help the people in his hometown earn some money.
Although the government was supposed to take charge of charcoal production, he still had some authority over it.
Old Man Li was overjoyed: "That's wonderful!"
He had originally planned to do this, but since Liu Demiao didn't say anything, he naturally felt uneasy.
