    Bai Na got into the car and waved to Bai Xiao, her eyes somewhat red, looking at the doctor in the rearview mirror, feeling upset, as if the doctor was more like a rtive to her.

    Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, Old Liu didn’t know how tofort her, so he could only hold Little Shitou and y with him.

    Back at the chicken farm, after unloading the feed, Bai Na started tidying up. Since she arrived, even the room storing the feed was kept neat and tidy.

    Old Liu took off his clothes, the sleeve having been torn by a nail while unloading feed earlier.

    Bai Na nced at clumsy Old Liu looking for a needle and thread, "Brother Liu, give me the clothes. I’ll sew them for youter. You’re clumsy, and it won’t look good if you sew it yourself."

    She couldn’t bear to watch, mainly because she was too familiar with the handiwork of these two people. They could sew it up, but it would be a mess of crooked knots.

    The clothes they sewed were almost unpresentable.

    Old Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Bai Na, what’s wrong? You seem down today, what happened? Did someone bully you outside?"

    These days, watching the girl taking care of her child on her own, busy for them in and out, Bai Na was very capable, efficient at work, even better than them sometimes. These two retired veterans sometimes felt ashamed.

    Compared to the girl, theygged far behind. Bai Na was attentive; ever since Bai Na came to the chicken farm, the egg production rate had increased, as did the meat chicken output. Anyway, the two of thembined were no match for this woman.

    Moreover, they heard Bai Na’s man was really cruel, even wanting to kill his newborn child. In Old Liu’s mind, such a man wasn’t fit to be called a human, more like a beast.

    Even tigers don’t eat their cubs, yet he didn’t want his own son.

    Old Liu felt even more pity for Bai Na, thinking how great this girl is, an 18-year-old who is adept and nimble, with both hands diligent and looking very pretty.

    She’s capable of cooking, washing, and cleaning, skillful in all tasks.

    Unfortunately, her fate was bad back then, running into such a jerk.

    Knowing Bai Na divorced, living alone with her child.

    Old Liu had thoughts in his mind, Erhu already had someone, wouldn’tpete, but when he thought of his ownme leg, he was also unsure and nervous.

    He considered himself now a cripple, not knowing if Bai Na would consider him.

    After all, Bai Na’s current situation is much better than his.

    "Nobody bullied me. I’m livingfortably here. Why would anyone bully me?" Bai Na smiled, opened the pot lid to reveal noodles, Old Liu and Erhu being Northerners loved noodles.

    Because of this Bai Na learned to make noodle dishes, steamed buns, noodles, she’s mastered them, asionally alternating between rice and noodles, considering them, they understood! This girl is a kind-hearted good girl.

    "Then you...?"

    Old Liu in his life hadn’t encountered matters of dealing with women, his family full of men,pletely clueless about a girl’s thoughts.

    "It’s nothing, I just talked to the doctor for a long time today, suddenly realized, finally understood my worth." Bai Na used to ce herself very low, feeling divorced and bringing a child, in their vige basically a symbol of wickedness, no man would want to marry such a woman as her, now realizing she could hold her head high.

    Indeed, she’s not inferior to anyone. Now, every month earning a sry, raising her child, livingfortably.

    No family, even the vige chief’s, would be living better than her now, what does she have to fear.

    Bai Na most admired the outside world for its gender equality,pared to where she’s from, everything was different.

    Men also do housework, help women raise children, even men washing dishes and clothes.

    Since experiencing the outside world, she realized that not all men are like those from her vige.

    Many men are considerate, don’t discriminate against women, aren’t such big men, and don’t hoard all the good things for themselves first.

    They treat women like treasures, like Chief An treating the doctor so well.

    If told, no one in the vige would believe it.

    She understood it’s right to leave the vige.

    The outside world is vast, people are kind.

    "Don’t say such things lightly, you’re such a good person, don’t ever undervalue yourself. Now you’re more capable than I, a man, I feel ashamed for myself." Old Liu didn’t understand Bai Na’s modesty, worldly self-sufficient women are most deserving of respect.

    Bai Na smiled,dled a big spoonful of sauce onto the freshly made hand-rolled noodles, something Old Liu taught her, otherwise she wouldn’t know northern sauces, after eating it twice, she also loved northern pasta.

    "Brother Liu, call Brother Erhu over quickly for dinner. He has to travel home tomorrow."

    Old Liu holding Little Shitou raised him onto his shoulder, letting Little Shitou straddle his shoulder.

    "Let’s go, we’re going to call your Uncle Erhu. Time to eat, Shitou."

    Bai Na, gazing at Old Liu’s tall back, felt warm inside.

    After dinner, Bai Na brought out cigarettes and alcohol, handed them to Old Liu and Erhu.

    "These are for both of you, one packet of cigarettes, one bottle of alcohol each, don’t mind if I bought little, over this long time you’ve both cared for me, cared for me and the child. I deeply appreciate you two.

    Especially since Brother Erhu is going back to marry, I preemptively congratte you. Wishing you and your wife a lifelong union."

    Erhu and Old Liu felt uneasy, "What are you saying? Xiaobai, that’s not right. Saying we took care of you, in essence, it’s you looking after us. Look, since you came, our clothes are much cleaner, even this Zhongshan suit I’m going back in, entirely hand-sewn by you.

    Miss, it should be us thanking you, since you came, our two rough men live like normal people, someone helping wash, cook meals, sewing repairs, concern in the cold, warmth."

    Erhu wouldn’t take them! Pushed them back.

    Bai Na got anxious, ced the gifts in front of them, turned, and left.

    "These things are bought already, there’s nowhere to return the cigarettes and alcohol. I, a woman, can’t use them. If you don’t take them, it’s a waste of money, you decide."

    Bai Na’s Mandarin is now very good! Having learned a mix of Shaanxi and Northeastern dialects with Old Liu and Erhu.

    Old Liu and Erhu looked at each other, "ept them, ept them."

    Old Liu spoke up.

    Thinking next time there’s a chance to go to town to buy Bai Na some other treats.
