"Xiaoniu..."
An Ning no longer dared to hide, but instead stood up and walked to face Xiaoniu.
"Sister... Sister..."
Seeing Xiaoniu reaching out for a hug, An Ning could only hold back her tears and lift him out of the small cart, holding him tightly in her arms.
"What happened to your nose? It’s only been a few days, how did it end up like this?" An Ning asked.
"Fall... hurts..."
Xiaoniu said while pointing at his nose.
"How can you be so careless!"
An Ning thought it was just a normal fall, so she didn’t think much about it. She just comforted the little guy with a few words after picking him up and then opened her basket. Using the basket as a cover, she took out two boiled eggs from the space.
At this mont, the eggs were still warm.
Fortunately, they were inside the space, otherwise they would have cooled down long ago after traveling from Taohua Village to here.
Xiaoniu may not have eaten well, so he imdiately started munching on the eggs, eating sowhat ssily.
An Ning didn’t say anything to him, helping him tidy up as she stood nearby, though her heart ached.
Such a little guy who understands nothing had to suffer because of the adults’ wrong choices.
"An Ning?" Gao Dagen was startled for a mont when he first ca in, a bit puzzled, but then he felt relieved.
An Ning turned around and called out, "Dad."
Gao Dagen didn’t respond, only cracked a smile that was supposed to be cheerful but ended up looking worse than crying.
Gao Dagen carried a log on his shoulder, not very large, but only just within a person’s weight limit.
The back door was quite small, making it quite laborious for him to co in, but An Ning, with her small arms and legs, couldn’t help, and could only watch with Xiaoniu in her arms.
Gao Dagen entered and placed the log he carried on a pile in the corner.
It’s all poor families, usually when they do work for soone, the materials are ready there, saving them so money.
After all, relying on the mountain ans timber is cheap, it’s just necessary to bring it back.
But the situation at ho now is different, the other children have grown up and can sowhat take care of themselves, but Xiaoniu is still ignorant.
So, he wants to reduce going out and try to work from ho, thus keeping an eye on the kids while working.
After Gao Dagen settled the wood, Gao Dagen also ca back with a log, two brothers working together made things much easier than when Gao Dagen was alone.
Gao Dagen walked over, looked at An Ning, finally couldn’t hold back and asked, "Is your mother... better now?"
It’s heard that An Bingfeng has left for several days but didn’t take the mother and daughter, leaving An Yu behind, also heard that An Bingfeng doesn’t want his son either.
At this point there are all sorts of gossip outside, naturally Gao Dagen heard so too, but hearing this, he didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh.
Recalling, he knelt begging before her to no avail, not even the children could change her determined mind.
But what he ultimately begged for was sothing she completely disregarded, truly pathetic!
Clearly wanting to mock her, but tugging at his lips, he found he couldn’t laugh, all he felt was more bitterness.
These past few days, actually, Gao Dagen had been waiting.
