Did Tie Dan follow us?
Su Nanxi paused. Had she heard correctly? Tie Dan would follow her over?
He's a filial child; he has two people at home who need his care, so it's unlikely he'd abandon them and leave alone!
Could it be that the villagers saw it wrong, or that she misheard?
Su Nanxi didn't think Tie Dan would follow; it was very likely she had misheard. No rush, listen again.
But then came the news that Tie Dan had arrived.
Su Nanxi was dumbfounded, and so was the village chief. Could it really be true?
What if they really come along?
The mute woman was probably half-joking when she said it; she didn't really mean to take him in!
They must have known about Tie Dan's situation and couldn't come. They were just being polite, but you can't take it seriously.
The mute mother disliked the previous girl, A-Lian, and insisted on sending her back. Now, would she be willing to take in this half-grown child?
As the saying goes, "A half-grown boy can eat his father alive!"
Eats a lot!
At times like these, where is there so much food to go around? Everyone is trying their best to save!
Uh, well, that's excluding the Mo family, of course.
The Mo family is incomparable; they can get plenty of food on the spot without using up their own stockpiles!
Sigh, now I just don't know if the Mo family will agree.
The Mo family's final decision still depends on the mute girl's approval, so it also depends on her mood.
After what happened with A-Lian, the village chief couldn't quite figure out what Su Nanxi was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak casually and wanted to see Su Nanxi's attitude.
"I'm not quite sure either. Why don't you go to the back and see what's going on, village chief?"
She didn't know either, Su Nanxi looked behind her, where people were still shouting.
The village chief agreed and turned to walk to the back.
Mo Qinghe looked at it and asked Su Nanxi, "Wife, what do you plan to do if they really come along? Are you really going to take them in?"
Su Nanxi thought it was unlikely to be Tie Dan, and said playfully, "What else can we do? We'll just have to see how it goes!"
Mo Qinghe chuckled, "Alright, my wife is right. Who knows what really happened!"
According to what Tie Dan said, logically speaking, he wouldn't abandon his family and run away. However, who knows if something unexpected might have happened!
For example, you see them, regret it, and want to leave with them!
Before long, the village chief led Tie Dan to the front.
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe were both surprised to see that it really was Tie Dan.
However, Tie Dan didn't seem very happy; his eyes were full of sadness and pain. What's wrong?
They didn't do anything to him!
Whether he wants to come or not is his own choice; we didn't force him in the slightest!
Could something have happened to his family?
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe exchanged a glance. Something's wrong!
The little brat looked like he'd lost his soul; his eyes had lost all color.
Su Nanxi pursed her lips. How did this person get here? Could it be that he was sleepwalking during the day?
That's pretty impressive! To be able to catch up even while sleepwalking, you must have a great sense of direction!
Tsk, otherwise there's no way to explain it.
The village chief was a little out of breath from running around. "I don't know what's wrong with him either. He won't tell me, so I can only take him here for now."
He thought it was a joke, something the villagers were talking about. But it turned out to be true; the child really did come along!
But they didn't get close; they kept a distance and just kept walking with their heads down.
He had no choice but to go over and ask, but he couldn't get any information out of him. For some reason, the child kept his head down and twisted the hem of his clothes.
He had no choice but to bring the child back first. Seeing that the child was carrying a bundle, he figured he probably wanted to come with them.
Su Nanxi asked calmly, "You want to come with us, right? What about your family?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked. Once he did, Tie Dan immediately lowered his head and started crying.
Su Nanxi was stunned. What was going on? She didn't seem to have asked any sensitive questions.
Could it be that his family is gone?
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this!
When they saw Tie Dan crying, everyone looked over, but seeing that Su Nanxi also looked bewildered, no one asked her anything.
"If you feel bad and want to cry, then cry! We'll talk again when you've stopped crying."
That's the only way. There's no other way. If something happens, you have to cry it out to vent.
You can't expect a little kid to restrain himself or hold back; it's better for him to cry it out!
When Tie Dan heard Su Nanxi say that, it was as if he had finally received permission, and he really let loose and cried.
She cried as she walked, as if she wanted to cry out all the unhappiness in her heart!
Su Nanxi sighed, "It's good to be a child; when you're unhappy, you have an excuse to cry your heart out!"
No one can say anything yet!
The Mo family didn't think anything of it, but the other villagers didn't know, especially those in the back. Hearing the child crying loudly, they were all puzzled and started gossiping about it.
Su Nanxi walked calmly, continuing with what she was doing, without it affecting her work at all.
She was determined to make the shoes completely. She had decided to do something, and if she couldn't, she would feel very uncomfortable and uneasy!
So she went off to study her straw sandals with great concentration. If Tiedan wanted to cry, then let him cry.
Hard work pays off! After thinking about it for a long time, she finally got the hang of it and knew what to do!
"Sister, the shoes you knitted are so beautiful!"
Suddenly a voice came from the side.
Su Nanxi was so engrossed in her work that she didn't remember that Tiedan was there. Her memory of him was still stuck in the past, and she thought he was in his village!
So it felt very surreal, and it took me a while to come to my senses.
Su Nanxi looked the straw sandals over and over. They were alright, not ugly at all!
By this time, Tie Dan had calmed down and stopped crying. He even watched Su Nanxi make shoes for a long time!
He was drawn to Su Nanxi's knitting, watching with great interest.
Su Nanxi subconsciously looked at his feet, and sure enough, he wasn't wearing shoes!
Oh dear, how come she didn't notice before!
However, most farm children don't wear shoes and prefer to go barefoot. Perhaps they're used to it, so they don't pay much attention.
This explains why Tie Dan likes straw sandals so much; he also wants to own a pair!
The road is not easy to walk on; it's all mud, sand, and stones, which are very uncomfortable to walk on. It's fine to walk on it for a short time normally, but if you walk on it all day long, it becomes very dangerous!
"Want to learn?" Su Nanxi asked casually.
Tie Dan nodded, "Okay! Is that alright?"
His eyes were full of anticipation and joy.
Su Nanxi gestured with her hands to measure the length of the shoes and said casually, "Sure! But you have to tell me first why you ran out."
Upon hearing this question, Tie Dan's eyes instantly filled with sorrow again. After choking back tears several times, he finally told the truth.
It turns out that Tie Dan's grandparents are both gone!
Uh, he left suddenly.
After he took the things home, he realized something was wrong: his mother had hanged herself, and his grandfather was barely clinging to life!
In the end, he was the only one left!
