Chapter 1421
Lin Shen pursed his lips and drove the car without opening his mouth to speak. Instead, after the car drove onto the highway, he suddenly spoke, “Have you resented your parents for not being with you all these years?”
I was surprised that he would ask me this question, after all, in my consciousness, he should be a person who does not like to ask don’t let trivial things.
I smiled lightly and said, “It would be a lie to say that I don’t resent them, but I am more thankful that it was my grandmother who raised me, and that I married Fu Shen, and that although my life today is not the best, at least I am willing to love and try to live. They had their own difficulties, and the future is still a long way off, so I’m not complaining now!”
He looked at me and said with some guilt, “I am also responsible for what happened back then, I should not have hidden your father and not told him of your existence, if he had known of your existence, perhaps the Mo family would have spared no effort to bring you back to the Mo family to raise you.”
What happened back then, it’s all in the past, it’s all in the past tense for me, I smiled lightly, “Uncle Lin, many times, how people do in this life, it’s all fate, we don’t have so many what if’s.”
He smiled, glanced at Xiao Xiao, who was already asleep on my lap, and said, “This child’s life will probably change differently when he meets you.”
I shrugged my shoulders, not answering, for better or for worse, there was no way we could make a conclusion.
The seven or eight hour drive was tiring for those driving and tiring for those in the car, and even though we had set off early, we arrived in the village a little late.
In December in the countryside, the temperature was so low that it could kill a person, and just as I got out of the car I shivered from the cold wind. Little Miss was a little hazy from her sleep and looked at her familiar surroundings, and after a moment’s reaction she spoke, “Auntie, we’re here!”
I nodded and pulled her along with her things to break through the not too far but not very well trodden path, luckily it hadn’t rained recently and the mud on the road had dried up so it wasn’t as bad to walk on.
It was extraordinarily dark, so when I reached the door of Wang’s precious house, I could barely see where the door of his house should go in. Looking at the dark house there didn’t seem to be anyone, I was a bit worried, it was nine o’clock, there was no one here, was there?
After all, Xiao Xiao is familiar with this place, stood outside the door and shouted a few parents, but in a short time the dark room door was opened, inside came the little girl’s timid voice, “Xiao Xiao? Is that you?”
Little Miss hesitated for a moment and then said happily, “Fourth sister, it’s me, Auntie has brought me back.” Then the little one rushed excitedly into the house.
There were no lights in the dark house, so Lin Shen turned on the torch and saw that only a seven or eight-year-old child was in the house, so he frowned and said, “Child, where are your parents?”
The child pulled Xiao Xiao and spoke, “They’ve gone to the field and are busy, they haven’t come back yet.”
The torch light is bright enough, the dark house, the concrete floor squatting on a pot of vegetables, looking a little cold, originally used to roast fire in the cooker has almost no sparks.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. Why don’t you have a fire at home?”
The child was timid, pulling Xiao Xiao, some enviously touching the clothes on Xiao Xiao, looked at me and said, “Mom said, they are not at home can not waste coal, I hide alone in the quilt to warm up on the line, wait for them to come back and then make a fire.”

I stared at her, I couldn’t tell what I felt, but it wasn’t very good, I didn’t say much. I looked at her and thought she hadn’t eaten, so I asked Lin Shen to go to the car and bring all the food, and I brought the clothes I brought to find a thick down jacket to put on her, she was happy for a while, then silently took it off and put it away.
I was a bit puzzled and asked her, “Why aren’t you wearing it? It’s so cold, it’s freezing.”
She shook her head with a wince and spoke, “I have to wait until the New Year to wear it, if I have new clothes to wear, I won’t let don’t let laugh at me this year.”
Lin Shen got up, took the clothes and put them on her, saying somewhat seriously, “Auntie gave you clothes to wear, so wear them well, there will be more in the New Year.”
The child was more and more happy to hear that there would be more, but she put them on consciously and with extra care.
After waiting for almost half an hour, we heard a sound coming from outside, it was Liu precious and they came back from their farm work, seeing this, Xiao Xiao’s fourth sister hurriedly started to make a fire to prepare hot dishes, Xiao Xiao helped her to get firewood.
I went out with Lin Shen, and when I saw us, Wang Gui froze for a moment, then with a smile and apprehension on his face, he looked at me and said cautiously, “Miss Shen, what brings you here? Did Xiao Xiao cause any trouble? Don’t be anxious, let’s discuss what’s going on!”
I frowned, not willing to listen to his words, in the eyes of parents, children never seem to be right, looking at him, I spoke, “Xiao Xiao did not cause any trouble, you do not think too much, we came here today to talk to you.”
Wang’s precious daughter-in-law listened to our conversation as she moved the hay and white radishes off the cattle car that was stacked high, and the few children around him were quietly following her as she worked.
She was visibly relieved to hear me say something big.
It was also late in the day, so I didn’t rush to speak to Wang precious and waited until the following day.
The next day.
In the morning, Wang’s daughter-in-law got up early, and she seemed to have a big basket ready to go out with some children, saying that she was going to carry back the radishes from the field not far away.
I knew that I had something to do and got up early, so I spoke directly and said, “Here’s the thing, I know you haven’t given Little Miss an account yet, I want us to pay for you to give Little Miss an account, Little Miss has her own account, whether for the child or for you, it will be beneficial in the future.”
He froze for a moment and looked at me, “Why do you want to give youngest a family register? Are you planning to use this to threaten me later? You can’t lie to me, those children who were sent out in the village in the past didn’t ask for a family register, but they still paid the same.
I pursed my lips and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I won’t give you a penny of the money you deserve, I want to give Little Missy an account because I think about her future, after all, it’s your child, you don’t want your future child to live here forever and never leave this mountain, right? You know, without a household registration, she can’t move an inch.”
