A ragged cub at the beginning

"Is business good?" Tang Xu took the time to ask. He didn't know if it was a bad time, but there was no customer in the store.

"It's pretty good. Neighbors often buy some to eat. Spicy hotpot is cheap, so more people buy it. Xiaoyun, blanch some vegetables for me. I want a combination of meat and vegetables, right, Xiaoxu?"

Tang Xu laughed and almost choked, "Ahem, yes, it's good for your health."

After dinner, the driver took them to the kindergarten and left.

Nian Chu and Nian Jin were a little stunned looking at the children running and playing wildly. They had read a few books with their teachers at home, but had never been to school. Are schools outside like this?

Nian Chao looked at the puppy at his feet and those strange things he had never seen before. Is he going to live here in the future?

"Director, Director..." The children came forward, "What are you holding?"

"Mother~"

"Aunt~"

"Aunt Xu!"

"what is this?"

"Is it delicious?"

"This is paper. You can't eat it."

Tang Xu was surrounded by people, and the basket she was carrying was hugged by Fang Zijun. She took out two paper flowers to show them.

"Wow~"

"what is this?"

"I know, I know! Paper flowers!"

"Children, get ready to go back to the classroom~" the teacher clapped his hands.

The children left reluctantly. Tang Xu packed up his things and led them to the dormitory area. "Each of you will have a room. Put down your bags and go to the cafeteria."

After touring around, Tang Xu handed Nian Chu and Nian Jin to Xingzi. "Nian Chao, follow me. Help me with daily affairs in the future."

"Okay." Nian Chao followed Tang Xu all the way around the kindergarten. There were many children here. Everyone was very happy. They played, practiced martial arts, and studied. Except for the yard at the door, there was no adult man.

When the school bell rings, parents enter the school with their school badges, find their children's classrooms, and then leave with their children.

Tang Xu also picked up Qiyue and the others and returned home, while Nianchao sat in the car. Being looked at by the three children with curious eyes, she subconsciously raised her hand to cover the scar on her face.

"Aunt Chao has an injury on her face, please don't stare at her." Tang Xu said.

"Oh, it must be painful." July turned her head, but couldn't help but glance over secretly. The scar was a bit similar to Aunt Xinhua's.

"Eat some candy and the pain will go away." Jiarui put a candy in Nianchao's palm, "It's sweet."

"It's healed now, it won't hurt anymore." Fang Zijun seemed to understand.

"This is for scar removal, but your face has been scarred for a long time, so it may take a long time." Banxia took out a small box of ointment.

Nian Chao looked at the thing in his hand, and his heart, which had long been numb, suddenly felt aggrieved.

She had done nothing wrong, so why did that man who was not familiar with her reject her in public and drag her into it by saying that he had a crush on her? She had never seduced anyone, so why did he destroy her face? Her parents didn't even say a word for her, and when something happened, they gave her to her and moved away overnight. And a stranger who met her for the first time would care if she was hurt?

She put the candy in her mouth and it was very sweet. She said softly with tears in her eyes, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jia Rui smiled back at her, and suddenly found water dripping down her face, "Auntie, you're sweating, are you hot?"

"That's crying, tears! Eyes can't sweat!" Fang Zijun retorted.

"Hey, shut up now." Banxia took out a handkerchief and handed it over. "Is the candy not tasty? Jiarui, did you give me bitter candy?"

Jiarui was immediately unhappy, "No! The candies this time are really sweet, I just ate one."

Tang Xu didn't want them to continue to dwell on whether Nian Chao cried or not, so he pulled Jia Rui over and asked, "How many did you eat today? Didn't I say you're not allowed to bring candy to class? Who gave it to you this time?"

Jiarui covered the snack bag, "Qiyue ate it too, Dandan brother ate it too, and Yunniang ate it too!"

"You forced me to eat it, but I already said I didn't want to eat it anymore." July pouted.

Fang Zijun didn't say anything and pretended he didn't hear anything.

Nian Chao wiped her tears and suddenly laughed.

Jiarui was still trying to figure it out in a low voice. He didn't want to answer who gave it to him, so he deliberately changed the subject and said that the candy wasn't that sweet, just a little bit and wouldn't damage your teeth.

"We're here, kids, get off the car." Tang Yao stopped the car and shouted.

"Madam, the young master is back." Qi Bo greeted him at the door as usual, and Banban meowed at July at his feet.

"Grandpa Qi, July is back."

"Jia Rui is back."

"Dandan is back."

The cat instantly attracted all the children's attention and they started playing with it.

Tang Xu asked Nian Chao to get off the car, and Tang Yao took Tang Ling and Tang Qing back.

"Uncle Qi, this is Nian Chao. She will follow me from now on. Please arrange a room for her." Tang Xu pointed at the person behind him.

Qi Bo nodded, "Okay, follow me."

Tang Xu went to see her mother first when she got home. Old Madam Du would sit in the front hall waiting for them to come back at this time every day. "Mother, how are you today?"

"Okay, I'm fine at home. Have you got everything done?" Old Madam Du pulled her to sit next to her, and Yu Wen poured Tang Xu a cup of tea.

Tang Xu took a sip of tea. "Well, I went to the shop and checked it out. They are all good. I brought people back, but there are two more. They are left in the kindergarten. They can be teachers after being taught. I took another one home. She will follow me and help me deal with some things in the future."

Madam Du nodded and said, "You should have bought a maid a long time ago. Let her do anything you need. Don't tire yourself out."

"There wasn't much to do originally, but I've been busy in waves." Tang Xu was not used to it at first and felt it was weird.

Mrs. Du disagreed, "One is always easier."

Tang Xu now also felt that Du Yun always brought Boshan with him, so he didn't have to do many things himself. "Yes, but this girl has a scar on her face. She suffered in the past."

Madam Du frowned, "What happened? Is your face disfigured?"

Tang Xu glanced outside the door. "Well, she said she offended a noble lady, and her parents pushed her out to make amends. Not only did the noble lady destroy her face, she also sold her out."

Madam Du frowned even more, worried that Tang Xu had been tricked by the broker and brought trouble. "Will you offend anyone if you bring him back?"

Tang Xu explained, "The broker said that the lady was not from here and had already left."

Madam Du was a little worried, afraid that she had been cheated, but she said, "That's good, but don't bring any trouble back."

Tang Xu didn't notice her worry, "I don't need to."

As the two were chatting, Du Yun came back, followed by three little tails chirping.

"Just eat here, Dandan. Set the table."
