Capítulo 1114: Chapter 1114: Home in Taohua Village 59
After speaking, An Dafu turned to An Ning, “Girl, where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”
An Dafu’s heart ached momentarily at having to be called uncle by his good daughter.
But An Ning didn’t answer.
At that moment, she felt a surge of golden light appear before her eyes, accompanied by a chime, and a voice echoed in her mind.
“Congratulations, host, on gaining gratitude value. You’ve unlocked the Deshan Space. Space upgrade conditions: Perform more good deeds, gain more gratitude value. We must take saving people and doing good deeds as our duty, create a harmonious society, and build a beautiful life together!”
An Ning: “…”
Before An Ning could continue to explore, she was tugged by Yan.
“Ningning, Ningning…”
“Huh?” An Ning snapped back to reality, “What?”
“Your Uncle Erlai is talking to you. What are you thinking?” Yan, holding Xiaoniu, asked.
An Dafu, startled by An Ning’s lapse, immediately asked, “Ningning, are you alright?”
Yan felt quite uneasy in her heart, as a woman’s heart is the most sensitive. She couldn’t understand why, but she felt like her daughter seemed closer to this Erlaizi than to her.
“I’m okay, just thinking about other things, so I didn’t hear. What did you say to me?” An Ning asked.
“Nothing much. The Gao Family is quite chaotic now, you and your mother should leave quickly.”
An Dafu originally intended to give them a ride but suddenly remembered how stringent social norms were at the time regarding men and women.
If he were to walk with these two women, and someone saw them tomorrow, who knows what gossip might spread.
Thus, it might be better to let them walk by themselves.
The Taohua Village is just in the neighboring village, with a direct road leading there, not far, and presumably without danger.
Yan took An Ning by the hand, “Since that’s the case, let’s go first. Erlaizi, take care.”
Behind them, Tian and Zhou also quickly expressed their gratitude, pulling their children along as they hurried away.
Indeed, Taohua Village is not far away. Yan was in poor health, and after a few steps, An Ning took Xiaoniu over and held him in her arms.
Even though he was almost one year old, he hadn’t eaten much good food and was quite small and skinny, so it wasn’t tiring for An Ning to carry him.
Possibly because her biological father was a hunter, An Ning’s home in Taohua Village was located at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by open space with no neighbors, but the courtyard wall was built high, at least over two meters, and made of stone, very solid, ensuring safety.
From memory, ever since Yan took the original host to the Gao Family, almost never returning, any matters were left for An Ning to return home alone.
Previously, An Ning didn’t understand why Yan acted this way, but at this moment, seeing her expression, An Ning understood.
This must be guilt, right?
Guilt for remarrying with a child, not guarding the legacy of her first husband.
But who can truly understand the hardships of a woman living alone with a child?
This isn’t the modern era, where women can openly work and not starve?
And here, there are indeed many who have died of hunger.
In An Ning’s view, for Yan to live alone with the original host for so many years, it was already quite challenging.
“Mom, please take a seat on the stool and rest for a while. I’ll go clean up the rooms.”
This house, speaking of which, isn’t bad, at least better than the Gao Family’s place. Green brick tiled houses are rare in the village. Though there aren’t many rooms, it’s just right for a small family to live in.
But it hasn’t been lived in for a long time, and dust has settled everywhere.
