After finishing the al, An Ning said to Ms. Yan, "Mom, the weather is nice today. I’ll go to the county later, and you should sit in the yard and enjoy the sun. Staying in bed all day isn’t good for you. Let Xinghua help take care of Xiaoniu."
"No need, it’s not safe for a girl alone. Let Xinghua go with you to the county. Just close the main gate when you leave, let Xiaoniu play in the yard. You don’t need to worry about watching him too much," Ms. Yan replied.
"Mom..." An Ning clearly disagreed. "Please listen to . Your health can’t take it, and you need to take good care of yourself."
Ms. Yan smiled, "Alright, have your Sister Chenghuan go with you then."
When An Ning was a child, Ms. Yan had to work alone, and she mostly stayed at Yan Qiushou’s house, sotis for several days without coming back.
Because of this, she was the closest with Chenghuan and them since childhood.
An Ning said, "Sister Chenghuan is busy preparing her dowry lately, and I don’t want to disturb her. How about this, I’ll go find Uncle Erlai and Qinghe. The weather’s getting colder, and I’m planning to buy so clothes."
"That works too. Just be careful on the road," Ms. Yan knew An Ning had earned quite a bit of money recently.
Under the circumstances, she didn’t want An Ning to neglect herself too much.
Her own life had been difficult, but she didn’t want her children to go through the sa.
After getting ready, An Ning placed Xiaoniu beside Ms. Yan before leaving.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out, she was stopped by Xinghua, "Sister An Ning..."
An Ning turned back and saw Xinghua, asking, "What’s up?"
"Sister An Ning, are you going to the county? Can you take along?" Xinghua asked.
An Ning said, "Didn’t you just return from the county yesterday? Why go again?"
"It’s too cold, and I don’t have any extra clothes to change into, so..." Xinghua hesitated as she spoke.
But An Ning understood her aning, "How about this? You see, my mom’s health isn’t good and she needs soone to look after her. You’re about the sa size as . I’ll buy you sothing, and you can stay here to help take care of Xiaoniu with my mom."
"I..."
After An Ning said this, she turned and left, not noticing the look on Xinghua’s face, as if she wanted to say sothing but stopped.
When An Ning arrived at Shili Village, she saw An Dafu pulling a cart, ready to go out.
Seeing no one around, she quickly approached and boldly called out, "Dad, why are you taking the cart out?"
"I’ve made a deal with a restaurant and need to deliver goods today. I was just planning to head over to pick up goods from you. Why are you here?" An Dafu replied.
"Well, I’m heading to the county and my mom was worried, insisting that I find soone to go with . So I thought of you and Qinghe."
An Dafu said, "Qinghe’s inside. You can go find her. I’ll head over first to pick up the goods. You two can join later."
After An Dafu left, An Ning entered his house.
Qinghe was in the yard sitting opposite Mrs. Qiu, embroidering. When An Ning ca in, Mrs. Qiu was teaching Qinghe how to embroider.
An Ning spoke up, "Auntie, Qinghe, am I interrupting you?"
"An Ning, please have a seat. I’ll get you a stool," Mrs. Qiu said, about to get up.
But An Ning stopped her, "Auntie, there’s no need to get up. I’m just here to ask if Qinghe wants to go to the county?"
