Chapter 717 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
Duan Qingyao then realized that the villagers in Xinghua Village were related to each other inside and outside. To put it bluntly, they were a family.
For example, the Li family’s daughter-in-law is Aunt Qi’s niece!
Aunt Qi took Duan Qingyao all the way to the entrance of the courtyard. Before leaving, she repeatedly told her to call her if anything happened.
"Thank you Aunt Qi, you are so polite! "
Aunt Qi glanced at the dark room behind Duan Qingyao and asked hesitantly: "Miss Duan, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not."
Duan Qingyao's heart skipped a beat, although Aunt Qi hadn't spoken yet.
But her intuition had already told her what Aunt Qi wanted to ask!
Having said that, this is also human nature.
Duan Qingyao seemed to have expected it!
"Auntie, if you have any questions, just ask!"
There was no way he could avoid what was coming, so Duan Qingyao simply responded generously.

"Why are you alone? Where is your family?"
In fact, this is not just her doubt, it is the doubt of everyone in Xinghua Village.
"I still have a younger brother, but he was temporarily separated! My father and mother are no longer here."
Duan Qingyao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take this opportunity to tell the truth. Anyway, she couldn't hide it for long even if she wanted to.
"To be honest with you, auntie, I'm actually married. My husband is a general. I just want to find a place to give birth to my child and give him a wife."
Aunt Qi lowered her head and looked at her belly, and then asked in surprise: "Are you pregnant?"
Duan Qingyao nodded and said, "Yes, it's been almost three months!"
“It’s true that every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite!”
The soft-hearted Aunt Qi sighed heavily and looked at Duan Qingyao with distress. The more she saw that Yuexiang was her daughter.
"It's okay. Now that you've come to Xinghua Village, let's stay down in the village. If anything happens in the future, just say hello to Auntie!"
Duan Qingyao felt warm all over. In this strange Xinghua Village, she finally found the feeling of belonging to home.
Even just a word from the neighbor's aunt was enough for her to see the light of progress!
"Okay, thank you auntie!"
Duan Qingyao politely agreed. Since she had decided to have a child alone, she had already made plans to deal with it alone. How could she place her hopes on passers-by?
However, what Duan Qingyao did not expect was that changes often occur faster than planned.
One of her acts of kindness in Xinghua Village was like sowing a seed in spring. Soon after, she was touched and warmed again and again.
Duan Qingyao returned to the house and changed out of her dirty clothes. Because she was pregnant, she yawned repeatedly and felt really sleepy.
When she woke up, night had enveloped the entire Xinghua Village.
Through the window, Duan Qingyao only saw dots of lights, just like the fireflies he saw in the woods when he was a child.
The evening breeze blew in waves, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers.
In my ears, there is the constant sound of insects, and the whole world seems to be quiet!
This was Duan Qingyao's first night in Xinghua Village, and everything was just as she imagined!
To be precise, it was much better than she imagined.
Under the watery moonlight, Duan Qingyao lit the candle on the table.
When she was about to fetch water for cooking, Aunt Qi's voice came from the yard.
"Miss Duan, open the door!"
Could it be that something happened to the Li family's wife?
Duan Qingyao didn't dare to hesitate and immediately put down what he was holding.
"What's wrong, Aunt Qi? What's wrong with Chuntao?"
Duan Qingyao had a worried look on her face. The Li family's daughter-in-law had suffered so much and finally managed to regain half her life.
If any complications occurred at this time, she could not guarantee that she would be able to save her.
"No, no! Chuntao just woke up and is a little weak! But who doesn't give birth like this?"
Aunt Qi beamed when she mentioned this.
Only she who was present knew what a dangerous scene her niece had to go through to save her life!
If it hadn't been for Miss Duan, his niece would have died in two.
While Aunt Qi was talking, Duan Qingyao had already passed through the courtyard and opened the courtyard door.
He only saw Aunt Qi standing at the door of the courtyard with a bamboo basket in her right hand, and Duan Qingyao could vaguely smell the aroma of the food.
"This is chicken soup, fish, and food specially sent by Lao Li's family! I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat it, so I specially cooked a bowl of millet porridge for you."
Aunt Qi said as she carried the basket into the yard.
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
If it hadn't been for the dark night, Aunt Qi would have seen that Duan Qingyao's cheeks were already red.
She saves people out of instinct, but she never thinks about getting anything in return.
Forget it about the Li family. After all, she saved two lives of their family. She can understand by giving things to express her feelings.
But Aunt Qi even cooked millet porridge specially for her. This feeling was really heavy!
"Don't be polite! From now on, we are a family. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors."
"I saw that the lights in your room were always turned off, so I knew that you were sleeping. As soon as I saw that the lights were on, I quickly brought this meal over. It is all warm on the stove, and it is piping hot!"
After entering the house, Aunt Qi put the basket on the table, opened the lid, and brought out the dishes one by one.
Duan Qingyao's nose felt sore inexplicably when she saw the hot air radiating out.
How long has it been since she felt such warmth?
"Why are you watching? Are you satisfied with watching? Hurry up and eat!"
Looking at the chopsticks handed over by the aunt, Duan Qingyao became rude.
"After dinner, would you like me to go to Lao Li's house with you? I'm not familiar with them, and I'm a little scared of being alone on this mountain road!"
"Okay, then I'll wait here. When you finish eating, we'll go take a look together!"
"Auntie, would you like to eat some too? I can't finish it by myself!"
After all, Duan Qingyao was a little embarrassed to have Aunt Qi stand aside and watch her eat.
"I'm full, you eat slowly!"
Looking at such a small girl's house, Aunt Qi felt inexplicably distressed.
"You eat slowly and I'll clean it up for you!"
Although Duan Qingyao has almost finished cleaning up, there are still some blind spots.
When the diligent Aunt Qi saw the messy firewood in the yard, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and started working.
"Auntie, you are a guest, just sit down!"
Duan Qingyao stood up anxiously.
"You are not welcome. I don't regard myself as a guest. Now that you are pregnant again, you can't do such rough and tiring work!"
Aunt Qi drove Duan Qingyao back to the house and tidied up the yard neatly!
