The couple soaked their feet in hot water and lay comfortably on the bed, hugging each other and talking quietly.

On this New Year's Eve when thousands of families are reunited, there are still some people wandering outside, wandering on the streets, enduring the raging cold wind and the torment of hunger. They clearly have a home but cannot return.

That's right, that person is none other than Xiaohua's biological father, Xu Dakui!

In a fireworks alley in Wanghai County.

Because of the Chinese New Year, these women who have fallen into prostitution will also close their doors early tonight for the first time and no longer accept customers.

I have been busy all year long, smiling apologetically to all kinds of benefactors, trying to please everyone, enduring countless humiliations, and being teased in every possible way, just because my life is miserable and I don't have the skills to deal with it.

I can only rely on my still young skin and appearance to exchange for silver and white things, support myself, and save some money for future use when I get old and lose my beauty.

Therefore, there has never been a charity in Fireworks Alley.

I won't let you live and eat for free just because you are a familiar face. Once all your money is spent, you will be kicked out.

It’s so realistic!

What's more, tonight is New Year's Eve? Therefore, Xu Dakui stayed here for nearly three days. On the morning of New Year's Eve, all the silver he brought out was spent, and the madam drove him out with two ghost slaves.

Starting from noon, all the shops on the street were closed, and even the roadside stalls disappeared.

Xu Dakui was cold and hungry. He was wandering on the street. Someone dropped a bun on the roadside. It was not very dirty and had a little dirt on it.

Just as Xu Dakui was about to pick it up, he was snatched away by a beggar who rushed out from the corner.

"This is my territory, get away! If I see you hanging around here again, I won't beat you to death!"

The beggar snatched the bun, glared at Xu Dakui fiercely, and issued a warning.

Xu Dakui's temper also rose. He stiffened his neck and said, "This is your family's land? A poor beggar still pretends to be like Mr. Xu..."

Xu Dakui's words stopped abruptly, because the beggar clapped his hands, and five or six beggars suddenly poured out from all directions.

All of them are young and strong men, but they are dressed in shabby and ragged clothes.

Surrounded by so many pairs of fierce eyes, Xu Dakui felt panicked that he was being targeted by wolves.

He was so frightened that he ran away quickly. After running a few steps, he stopped and spat at the beggars behind him, "What a bunch of stinking beggars!"

"Aren't you the co-author?" Someone on the other side asked Xu Dakui.

Xu Dakui was startled for a moment and looked at his clothes, "I'm not the one, I have a family..."

"You have a home, why don't you go back? You have a home and you're still fighting for buns with us on the street? You're such a tough-mouthed person! Ugh!"

A mouthful of spit from the other party was also spat over.

Xu Dakui was so angry that he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away.

After he ran away, the beggar who had picked up the bun pinched off the dirt on the bun and handed it to one of the people: "Hurry up and give it to the child."

Another person took the bun, his eyes were red, "Brother, thank you..."

"We are all like this. There is no need to express gratitude. Hurry up and give the buns to the child to eat. The child has been hungry for several days..." said the beggar who picked up the buns.

The other person nodded, quickly put the bun into his arms, held it close to his body, turned around and ran away.

The beggar who picked up the buns said to several other people: "Follow the two of you and don't let the buns be snatched by others again."

Two people followed immediately.

The remaining three people gathered around the man picking up the buns, "Brother, what are we going to do in the future? Are we really going to be wandering in Wanghai County like this? Do we really want to be beggars?"

The man who was called the eldest brother looked at the empty streets and the shops with closed doors and windows. Although there was a hint of worry in his eyes, what he said was another matter.

"No, don't worry. We just happened to catch up with the Chinese New Year when we arrived in Wanghai County these days. When the Chinese New Year is over, these shops will open. By then, brother, I will definitely be able to find something to do. We will have

The money is used to buy rice, oil, and medicine for the children." He said.

Everyone else nodded.

Another person said: "Wanghai County is really prosperous. Look at the shops in this county. There are so many and so high. Most of them are two or three floors. They are almost catching up with our Tianhai County."

Another person said: "I heard that Wanghai County is the hometown of the great general who protects the country. If there is such a powerful person who is inferior to one person and outnumbers ten thousand people, he will definitely be able to take care of his hometown. It's just a hardship for us.

He also tricked us!"

"Yeah, it's all the fault of the general who protects the country. We originally thought that he drove away the evil-doing county guards Wu Xiong and his son, and that the people of Tianhai County would be able to live a good life from now on. Unexpectedly, he actually drove away a

A wolf, but a tiger came in..."

"Second brother, third brother, please stop saying a few words, or you may cause trouble!" The man who was called the eldest brother warned with a look on his face.

The other two people immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything.

The eldest brother couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Just be patient for two more days and wait until the New Year is over..."

…

"Ah sneeze!"

Luo Fengtang suddenly sneezed loudly, which made Yang Ruoqing, who was just a little sleepy next to her, wake up immediately.

"What's going on? Why did you sneeze too? Could it be that you caught a cold?"

Yang Ruoqing turned over and sat up, asking with concern.

Luo Fengtang raised his hand and rubbed his nose, then smiled nonchalantly: "It shouldn't happen."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "That means a woman is thinking about you."

Luo Fengtang: "..."

Yang Ruoqing laughed again, "I'll make you a bowl of isatis root to drink first to get rid of the cold."

Luo Fengtang held her wrist: "No, the ground is cold..."

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and patted his big hand: "It's okay, it's warm in our room. Just lie down and I'll be here soon!"

After that, he got out of bed, put on a coat, opened the medicine box, took out a packet of isatis root powder, brewed it with warm water, and returned to bed.

At this time, Luo Fengtang had already sat up and took the isatis root handed over by Yang Ruoqing, his eyes filled with emotion.

"It's great to have a wife who loves you," he said.

Yang Ruoqing looked at him with a smile: "Not only is my wife at home hurting, but there are other women outside who are thinking about me. I'm really happy!"

Luo Fengtang's head is covered with black lines.

"Daughter-in-law, we don't joke about this kind of thing," Luo Fengtang raised his head and looked at her seriously.

"There is no woman out there who cares about me. The only woman who cares about me in this world is my wife."

"The only woman I miss is my wife, and that is you. There will never be anyone else." He said.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, her eyes filled with sweetness and happiness.

"Then let's tick it off. For the rest of our lives, it's just the two of us, and we'll never be mixed up with anyone else," she said.

Luo Fengtang reached out and hooked her hand.

Yang Ruoqing added: "You can never look at other women differently. This life is still very long, and we will meet all kinds of men and women. There may be some people who are different, but I can guarantee that I will not treat other women differently.
