Go to the county town

  The next day, An Yan got up early and went to the town with Bai Pingfu and his wife.

  Because they were going to transport the newly harvested bamboo leaves to Mingyue Wine House, Bai Ping went to Village Chief Zuo's house to borrow an ox cart, which could be used both for transporting wine and carrying people.

  At this time, An Yan was sitting in the back of the carriage with Pang Ya and Liu Shi, while Bai Ping was driving the horse in front. Under the gentle warmth of the morning sun, the four people slowly headed towards Hsinchu County.

  Pang Ya was not originally allowed to come, after all, she was still young and everyone would have to take care of her. It was An Yan who suggested that Pang Ya come along, first to let her see the prosperity of the county, and second to let her learn something. Since she had made up her mind to cultivate Pang Ya well, she naturally devoted all her energy to cultivating her.

  "Is it fun in the county, Auntie?"

  Xiao Pang has never been to the county seat since birth. Now he can go, but it's getting the little kid too excited. The little guy keeps asking about Hsinchu County all the way, and is extremely curious.

  "It's so much fun! The county is very lively, with many delicious and fun things. Wait, Auntie will buy some delicious and fun things for Chubby later."

  Chubby heard that, her big eyes first sparkled with excited light, but soon dimmed down.

  "Chubby doesn't want delicious food or fun, chubby just wants Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, and all the uncles and aunts to be happy."

  The fat girl spoke in a low voice with her head down.

  Listening to these words, I feel a lump in my throat. This child is really too sensible and well-behaved, so sensible and well-behaved that it makes people want to cry.

  An Yuanguang looked at the Liu family and found that Mrs. Liu's eyes were indeed wet, and she was quietly wiping her eyes at this moment. And in front of him, Bai Ping, who was driving the carriage, straightened his back even more, and his figure appeared somewhat desolate in the morning light. This man has always been trying hard to give his family a good life.

  "As long as Pang Ya eats well and plays well, and Pang Ya is happy, everyone will be happy."

  Her originally gentle smile on her face slowly turned into a warm and caring expression in the morning breeze. She stretched out her hand to hold the chubby boy in her arms, speaking softly and kindly.

  Chubby heard this and was very confused, opening her eyes wide as if to confirm the correctness of An Yan's words. And An Yan continued to smile at her, as if giving Chubby his full trust.

  Chubby turned her head, looking uncertainly at her mother, while Liu was also somewhat perplexed. She pitied the child, but she couldn't ignore the Bai family's situation just to make the child happy.

  An gave a reassuring glance to the Liu family at this time.

  Those eyes, like a warm and deep lake, conveyed warmth and trust. Mrs. Liu nodded unconsciously at Pangzi, who immediately clapped her hands happily upon receiving her mother's affirmation.

  "Chubby, remember, chubby is a good kid, and good kids should listen to grown-ups, got it?"

  Although An Yan wants to spoil Pang Ya, she can't let her become arrogant because of it. So the child's innocence and playfulness cannot be erased, but the education that should be had is also necessary.

  Chubby heard it and immediately nodded seriously.

  An Yan looked at him and then turned to smile at Liu Shi, saying: "Second sister-in-law, you and second brother-in-law are really good at teaching children. Pang Ya is indeed a clever and sensible child, and may have great prospects in the future."

  Upon hearing An Yan's words, Liu's originally slightly red eyes also took on a hint of a smile. No mother would not be delighted to hear praise for her child. And so, Liu was in an extremely good mood and began talking to An Yan about Hua Fei.

  "Yes, Pàng Wā (the chubby kid) has been sensible since he was little. When he was very young, his body was weak and even his crying sounded soft, like a cat meowing. But even back then, Pàng Wā was well-behaved, unlike other kids who would disturb people. He just ate and slept, slept and ate, easy to take care of."

  Liu mentioned past events, feeling both happy and heartbroken.

  At that time, the chubby girl was really too thin and weak. Everyone thought that the chubby girl would not survive, but she and Bai Ping did not believe it. In those two years, the three of them almost exhausted their heart and blood to make this family complete. Now, looking at such a well-behaved, sensible and lovely daughter, Liu felt that everything was worth it.

  "Chubby, come here and let mommy give you a hug."

  The Liu family was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment, and a sour but sweet feeling surged up in her heart. She reached out and pulled the chubby little boy over to her side.

  Seeing Mrs. Liu's appearance, An Yan felt relieved in her heart, so she patted the chubby little hand and let the chubby go into Mrs. Liu's arms.

  Chubby finally arrived in Liu's arms, and Liu tightly hugged Chubby, her eyes filled with gratitude, grateful to heaven for giving her such a treasure. This feeling of gratitude was truly indescribable. It was a kind of emotion that dissolved into the blood vessels and seeped into the bones. Children were indeed the most beautiful gift in this world. For the sake of children, even if it meant exhausting their parents' energy, it should be worth it.

  Pang Ya fell asleep in Liu's arms, and it wasn't long before she dozed off. Today, in order to go to the county, Pang Ya also got up early, and at this time, she was extremely sleepy. At first, due to curiosity, wanting to know more about Nantou County, she struggled to stay awake, but now she was drowsy, and before long, she fell asleep in Liu's arms.

  When the chubby girl fell asleep, she was also particularly well-behaved, quietly leaning in Liu's arms, breathing lightly, truly as gentle as a cat, and pitifully lovely.

  The ox cart rattled along the country road and finally arrived in Hsinchu County.

  Because she had been here before, An Yan seemed quite natural. She hugged Pang Ya, while Bai Ping and Liu pushed the cow cart towards Mingyue Wine House. Because in the county, it is not allowed to set up a cow cart. Even if it were possible, ordinary people would not dare to do so, lest they lose control and crash into some noble's carriage, which would be disastrous.

  Anwen wore a light blue coarse linen garment today, which was Xiu Niang's. The pale blue color was exactly what Anwen liked, quiet and elegant. And to some extent, Xiu Niang's temperament was quite different from Anwen's. Gentle and introverted, so Xiu Niang's clothes on Anwen's body were actually very suitable. This garment was still quite new, only washed a bit white, but had never been patched. The white garments of Ping and Liu Shi by their side were also crisp, although they were somewhat old, but also had no patches.

  After all, today is coming to see the owner of Mingyue Wine House, and it's not good to wear too shabby clothes, afraid of being looked down upon, so they all wore better clothes from home.

  Anwen wore a simple green robe, her hair casually wrapped in a same-colored cloth. Despite the simplicity of her attire, she couldn't hide her elegant and refined demeanor, as well as her slender figure. On their way to Mingyue Wine House, Anwen also attracted many gazes. Both Bai Ping and Liu were quite worried about this, after all, Anwen was already a married woman. But Anwen herself didn't seem to mind at all.

  She has been here for only a few days and is still adapting to some identities. For example, she is already married and has a husband.

  "Is that Tang Jinxiu?"

  At this moment, in a luxurious room of the Qingfeng Wine House, two extraordinary men were seated. One was dressed entirely in white and the other in red. The man in red looked at a woman on the street holding a little girl and couldn't help but express his surprise to the man in white sitting across from him.
