When Yaya saw Nanqiao coming in, her eyes smiled into crescents, she reached out for a hug, and called her "little aunt"
She and Sheng Yanchuan haven't married yet, so Nanqiao was a little shy when she was suddenly called "Auntie". She stepped forward and gently pinched Yaya's little face, and said with a smile, "You clever little ghost..."
Aunt Xiumei felt relieved when she saw Yaya regaining her energy in Nanqiao's arms. You know, Yaya was probably scared because she was scolded and ran out alone in the morning. She stayed in her arms and refused to come down. She had no energy to eat or play.
Looking at Nanqiao now, she felt relieved to have the energy to play with him. Seeing Yaya like this, Aunt Xiumei couldn't help but complain to Nanqiao.
"Everyone knows that the child is young and will be happy if she is teased, but her mother... ah..." Aunt Xiumei felt worried when she thought about it and sighed.
"What's wrong, aunt?" Nanqiao became curious when he saw Aunt Xiumei looking so worried.
"Nan girl, you are a family member, and I am not afraid to tell you about these family scandals."
Aunt Xiumei paused after she finished speaking, then continued, "You should have heard Chuanzi say that we have separated. Let's not talk about the previous quarrel over that little bit of money. Now that the division is over, we can just live our own lives. But you should at least take good care of the family and the children. Huiping's family came this morning. Her mother is not only patriarchal, she doesn't even treat girls as human beings. I don't know what happened, but she scolded Yaya and made her cry. Such a young child ran away by herself. If the villagers hadn't brought her to me, I don't know if she can see her now. But her mother didn't come to see her all morning... Do you think this is the way a mother acts?"
"Ah? Didn't she ask a single question? Does she know that Yaya is with you?" Nanqiao found it a little unbelievable
"How would she know? I went to Junzi this morning and told him that Yaya was staying with me these days, but I didn't see her come to see me all morning." Aunt Xiumei was also getting angry when she said this. If Huiping had shown up in the morning, she wouldn't have been so disappointed.
"That's a bit... after all, he's my child, how can I not worry about him?" After hearing what Aunt Xiumei said, Nanqiao felt a little scared. He couldn't understand how a mother could not care about her child to this extent. Even in modern times, with eyes everywhere, it's not easy to find a lost child, not to mention that there are no surveillance cameras now. If a child is taken away by a beacon, there's basically no hope of finding him back.
"You can tell me, the child was listless in the morning, but now he is full of energy after seeing you."
"Little Yaya, are you happy to see me?" Nanqiao held Yaya in her arms, braided her hair, and teased her. As for Yaya's mother, it was her family's business, so she couldn't comment too much.
Yaya sat in Nanqiao's arms, smelling the sweet fragrance of her aunt and the braids she tied for her. Yaya smiled happily.
After a few words, Uncle Sheng was about to go out to work. Aunt Xiumei knew that Nanqiao would come in the afternoon, so she took half a day off and prepared to make some more delicious food to entertain Nanqiao in the afternoon.
Sheng Yanchuan said something to Nanqiao, then changed his clothes and went to the field with Uncle Sheng. There were women chatting in the house, so he didn't worry that Nanqiao would be embarrassed.
After seeing off Uncle Sheng and Sheng Yanchuan, Nanqiao put Yaya on the kang and said, "Be good, Yaya. I'll get you something good later."
Nanqiao then went to rummage through the package that Sheng Yanchuan had just brought in.
This time when Nanqiao came back, she brought sweaters for Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xiumei, and a scarf for Aunt Xiumei. Taohua brought a small skirt and a pair of small leather shoes, and a teddy bear for Yaya. As for Sheng Yanjun's family, Nanqiao didn't bring any. It's not that she didn't care. It was just that it was her first time meeting the parents, so she only brought gifts to the elders and children. The family had separated, and she couldn't just go to their doorstep to give them gifts... Besides, these two people believed a lot of the gossip about her before.
In addition to these clothes and toys, the remaining scattered things were some vegetables and meat food, which Nanqiao placed on the table.
Nanqiao took out the things and told Aunt Xiumei who they were for. Aunt Xiumei looked at the things and thought they were too valuable and refused to take them. Nanqiao put the things down and forced them on Aunt Xiumei.
"Auntie, you keep the things. I've already brought them here, so there's no reason to take them back." Then he said to Taohua, "Little Taohua, go try on your skirt and shoes to see if they fit you well."
Taohua carefully took the skirt and shoes that Nanqiao brought. She had never seen such a beautiful skirt and shoes in her life. There was a small white flower on the black leather shoes, and the smell of leather was particularly good.
"Thank you for the gift, sister." Taohua thanked her and went back to her room to try on clothes.
Nanqiao knew that the gifts she brought this time were expensive, but Aunt Xiumei and her family would be her family in the future, so she had no regrets about giving them away. Besides, she didn’t need them.
Nanqiao put away his thoughts, smiled at Yaya who was playing with the teddy bear, and said, "Aunt Xiumei, I have nothing to do this afternoon. I plan to go to the fields and look for Chen Nian. I will come back early in the afternoon to help you cook."
"No need, you guys just go and chat. It's easier to cook with two less people at home. I can do it myself," Aunt Xiumei said, waving her hand.
Yaya heard Nanqiao was leaving, so she got up holding the little bear and wanted to go with Nanqiao. "Let's play with auntie, let's go."
The next moment, she hugged Nanqiao's neck and refused to let go. Aunt Xiumei looked like she was from a good school and said, "Little girl, don't make trouble. Stay at home with grandma. Your aunt has something to do."
No, I want my aunt." Nanqiao saw that Yaya's eyes were red and tears were about to overflow from her eyes, so he quickly said, "It's okay, aunt, Yaya, come with me in the afternoon, I won't work, just play with me."
