Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang also got off the bed, and they all stood up and came over to surround Fang Nuo and offer words of comfort.
Looking at her current state, they felt sad and distressed.
After Fang Nuo came over, Fang Nuo hugged her and buried his head in her arms, crying even more sadly.
In this cry, it was as if she was crying out all the loneliness and fear she felt after her grandma left and she traveled back to this era.
When she cried, several people didn't know what to do. Yaya, who was in Fang Nuo's arms, heard her mother cry and started crying loudly.
Only then did a few people discover the child in Fang Nuo's arms. Grandma Fang helped Fang Nuo up and said, "Okay, Xiao Nuo, don't cry. Our family is all fine. Since we are missed, isn't this?" You saw it, don’t cry."
"Well" Fang Nuo heard Yaya crying and stopped crying. He opened the long scarf covering Yaya and looked at the little baby inside whose face turned red from crying. After seeing her, he moved and was covered with tears. The wrapped hands wanted her to hug her.
She patted her back and comforted Yaya, and after a while Yaya stopped crying.
Everyone in the Fang family knew that this was the youngest generation in the family. When Fang saw that Yaya had stopped crying, he said to his daughter: "Xiao Nuo, put the child down. It's tiring to carry you like this."
After hearing this, Fang Nuo untied the sling and held Yaya in his arms. Seeing that Father Fang on the side was jealous, he handed the child to him and said, "Grandpa, give me a hug."
"This...does the child recognize you?" Fang's father was afraid of scaring Yaya, so he didn't take it immediately, but asked Fang Nuo first.
"Dad, you'll know if you try it," Fang Nuo said
After hearing what she said, Father Fang took Yaya and held her in his arms. Looking at Yaya's little face that looked very similar to his daughter's when she was a child, he also had a loving smile on his face.
Little Yaya didn't cry when she was held by this handsome grandpa. When she saw him smiling at her, she immediately smiled back.
Now Yaya has started to grow her teeth, so she no longer has a toothless smile, but when she smiles, she sees her little baby teeth which are very cute.
"Hey... look at her smile, it seems the child likes you very much, boss," Grandma Fang said
"Well, she looks like our old Fang family. She will definitely be a good-looking girl in the future," Grandpa Fang said.
"Let's stop standing. Xiao Nuo goes over there to sit and rest. By the way, you haven't eaten anything all the way here. Waiter, go and light the fire and I'll cook something for Xiao Nuo." Grandma Fang said
As soon as she said this, several other people became busy. Father Fang gave Yaya to Grandpa Fang to hold, and asked Xiao Nuo to match the gifts to them both.
"Grandma, I brought something to eat in my bag. You guys go take it out and heat it up. We'll eat together later," Fang Nuo said.
Grandma Fang originally wanted to ask Fang Nuo to take the things back and eat them herself, but thinking that they didn't have anything good to eat here, she could only nod and reply: "Okay."
"Xiao Nuo, come here and sit down. Let you take care of them." Grandpa Fang sat on the bed with Yaya in his arms and called Fang Nuo to come over and sit down.
Fang Nuo walked over and sat on the wooden bed. He could feel that there was only a bed of patched sheets underneath, not even a bedding. How could they survive this winter?
"Grandpa, don't you have a Tukang bed here? Why don't you just sleep on a wooden bed?" Fang Nuo asked.
"Yes, but there is no one to help us lay the bed, and we have never done it before, so we don't understand these things," Grandpa Fang said.
"That's it. Wait until tomorrow. I'll give you a plate so that you can stay warmer when you sleep in winter. You just need to use more firewood." After hearing what he said, Fang Nuo thought that people like them who were devolved would not be able to sleep here. The indigenous people would not get too close to them, let alone help them make things.
"Xiao Nuo, you know how to cook? When did you know how to cook?" Grandpa Fang was surprised how his granddaughter could do such a job. When their family was not decentralized, Xiao Nuo had never even entered the kitchen.
"I've been in the countryside for more than a year, right? After I got married, my parents didn't like me very much, so I have to learn to do some things by myself." Fang Nuo could only say this, but These are indeed what Fang Xiaonuo experienced in the Wang family, and she did not lie.
"What about you now? Are you still living with her family?" Grandpa Fang asked.
"No, our brigade captain's family helped me a lot. After Yaya's father passed away, that family kicked me out, and the village gave me a small courtyard to live in. Later, after Yaya was born, The family came to make trouble again, and the captain couldn't bear it, so he asked me to break off our relationship with them. Later, I added Yaya to my own household registration and gave her the same surname as Fang." Fang Nuo was very calm. Tell Fang Xiaonuo’s experience this year.
"It's our Fang family that has dragged you down," Grandpa Fang said.
"Grandpa, don't say that. We are all a family. If you hadn't taken the risk of sending me out, I wouldn't be able to live like this now," Fang Nuo said.
She was very grateful to her family. If they had not sent her out for their own sake, she would be undergoing reform through labor like them.
"Lao Fang, I'm taking Xiao Nuo out for dinner." Grandma Fang shouted at this time
The two of them didn't talk about this topic again, got up and went out to eat with Yaya in their arms.
Next to the fire outside, there was a small folding table with several bowls of cornmeal paste on it. In the middle was a lunch box brought by Fang Nuo, which contained a fish stew.
Grandma Fang only brought out one dish. She still thought that Fang Nuo was here and she couldn't let her eat too badly.
Otherwise, we Westerners usually only have one bowl of clear cornmeal water per person.
If you are lucky enough to get wild vegetables outside, you can cook them back and serve them cold as a dish. Otherwise, it is just a bowl of soup with a thick noodle nest.
"Hurry up and sit down to eat. What we are eating today is the stewed fish that Xiaonuo brought over. You are in for a treat." Seeing them come out, Grandma Fang said.
"Grandma, I brought this book for you to add food to. If you like it, I will send you some more later," Fang Nuo said.
"You, if you have money, just save it and use it yourself. You don't have to think about sending us things all the time," Grandma Fang said.
"That's right, you just need to take care of yourself. Our whole family is on the farm and nothing will happen. You can rest assured and live your life," Father Fang also said
"I will definitely live a good life. Now I can also work and earn work points. The work points I earn support both Yaya and me. I have converted them into money. I can earn dozens of dollars in a few months." The money is saved, I have food and food, and there is nowhere to spend the money," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, let's eat now and talk about these things later," Grandpa Fang said.
After hearing him speak, a few people stopped talking and sat down around the small table, picked up their bowls and started eating.
Uncle Fang picked up a piece of stewed fish. He hadn't eaten such a delicious dish in more than a year. He almost forgot what normal meals tasted like.
