Chapter 231 Providing Support Everywhere
Xin Nian helped the graceful but frail Madam Si to sit down, then picked up a hammer and began nailing the tent with practiced ease.

Mrs. Si held up a small fan to fan her, muttering repeatedly, "Niannian, be careful."

Si Nanli squatted down to the other side and watched her, her little mouth as sweet as honey, "Sister, how are you so capable?"

"Sister, can you do everything?"

"Not really..."

"Nonsense, in my heart my sister is the most amazing!"

"Sister, you are a shining little sun. With you by our side, we can solve any problem."

Lord Si couldn't bear to look at his youngest son's fawning manner...

Turning to look at the eldest son, he was also acting strangely. He stood next to the sixth girl, bending down to hand her tools, and occasionally glancing at her while asking odd questions.

"Miss Niannian, haven't we met somewhere before?"

Xin Nian paused her tapping, then coughed to cover her guilt, "No way..."

Haha, will she tell him? I used to punch your dad a few times, and you two weaklings would come up to break it up, and I beat them up too.

"Please don't misunderstand, young lady. It's just that when I first met you, I had a feeling that we had met before."

"Really, big brother?" Si Nanli blinked his beautiful big eyes and suddenly said, "Could it be a dream? I dream about my sister every few days!"

Lord Si wanted to close his eyes. Was this really his youngest son, who always had a cold face and was prone to throwing tantrums and kicking people?
Exile drastically altered the personalities and temperaments of his wife and children! That damned exile.

After helping the frail Lord Si's family set up their tent, Xin Nian went to support the equally frail Physician Cheng's family.

The two tents were close together, and they were Mongolian yurt-style tents, which are much more spacious than ordinary felt tents, but are also more complicated to set up.

Young Master Cheng looked at the tools from left to right, unsure of where to begin.

When he turned around and saw Xin Nian, it was like a savior had descended from heaven. He quickly got up, bowed, and made a gesture of respect.

Xin Nian took the tools from his hands and worked swiftly and efficiently, quickly setting up the Cheng family's tent. Before the Cheng family doctor and his son could even express their gratitude, the little girl was pulled away by Old Gu and his apprentices.

Madam Cheng could only wave her handkerchief and call out from behind, "Niannian, come eat with us when you have time."

Xin Nian raised her little hand and shook it, then was dragged back to the wooden house by the three old masters and disciples.

Everyone wanted to get as close to the wooden house as possible, but the closest spot was taken by Old Gu and his apprentice.

Since there were only three of them, the master and his apprentices, they didn't need a large or sturdy tent. They simply picked a small tent and settled down next to Xin Nian's family.

With the wooden building as the starting point, everyone worked busily, setting up various tents in circles around it.

Xin Wen'an watched the bustling crowd, his expectant eyes following his niece as she walked back and forth. Seeing how busy she was, he wanted to speak several times but didn't dare to...

Looking up, he saw Old Xin carrying a quilt out, and Xin Wen'an grabbed him and pressed him down, "Fourth brother, fourth brother!"

"Hey, what are you doing?" What kind of behavior is this, a grown man pulling and tugging like that!

"Fourth brother, you can't abandon me!" Xin Wen'an was frantic. He saw that every household had set up tents, but he was the only one who seemed to have to sleep in the wilderness. He wanted to cry!

Xin Wenyuan glared at him irritably. "When I came over, I saw that Mu Zhong and Mu Liang had already set up your little tent. Here, take this!" As he spoke, he pushed the bedding in his hand into Xin Wen'an's arms.

Xin Wen'an took it, but kept complaining, "What do I need bedding for in this hot weather?"

"What's so hot about it? Your niece will put out another layer of ice tonight, and the temperature should drop a bit more. This is for you to put on the floor. What, don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping on the floor?"

"Oh, okay!" Xin Wen'an patted the thick mattress and grinned. "Fourth brother, thank you."

"Silly boy," Xin Wenyuan muttered. "Mu Dalang and Mu Erlang helped you make a comfortable little tent. If you have nothing to do, go and lend a hand to Uncle Mu."

"Okay, okay." Before running off with the bedding, Xin Wen'an grabbed Xin Wenyuan and said, "Fourth brother, I just saw Xiaorui and her brother cook a big pot of braised pork. Later... could I have a couple of pieces?"

Xin Wenyuan remained silent, then nodded, "Understood."

Xin Wen'an was immediately delighted, and seeing his younger brother about to leave, he pulled him back.

Xin Wenyuan glared at him. "What else is there?"

They keep dawdling and won't finish explaining everything at once!
"Hey bro, I just wanted to ask if there are any underground hot spring pools nearby?"

Xin Wenyuan glanced at his greasy third brother and couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong? Last time I asked you to go down and wash, you were being coy and complaining about being dirty."

Previously, the underground hot spring pool in Yangzhu Town had two pools. The ladies were first arranged to use the large pool to wash their hair and take a bath, and then the small pool was opened to the rest of the team.

Many people lined up to take a quick shower, but those with OCD like Young Master Cheng and Master Si disliked public baths and preferred to remain dirty rather than bathe...

Xin Wen'an is also a germaphobe; he didn't wash either, so he must be regretting it now.

After another six or seven days, in this sweltering heat, I guess I no longer smell sour on my body.

Xin Wenyuan wanted to laugh at his brother, but seeing his miserable state, he barely managed to hold back his laughter.

Sigh, it's pitiful, Old Xin thought to himself. If it weren't for his all-powerful little daughter, he probably would have ended up in that greasy public bath too...

The key point is that the pool was full of people who hadn't bathed for more than half a month. Everyone was soaking together, scrubbing and rubbing themselves. Oh my god, it's unimaginable!
It's understandable that the brother didn't want to jump in to wash, and Lao Xin felt he shouldn't laugh at such a pitiful person.

"Once I'm done with today, I'll take some men to search the hills behind the town tomorrow. I'll let you know if I get any news."

Xin Wen'an grasped his fourth brother's hand, deeply moved. "Fourth brother, thank you. Thank you so much!"

That night, every household enjoyed their best dinner.

Having finally ended their long journey and been able to settle down for a while, everyone slept very soundly and woke up very late the next day.

Xin Nian opened her eyes and stared at the star-shaped chandelier on the wooden ceiling for a long time in a daze.

She slept so well that she felt somewhat surreal when she woke up.

Since transmigrating, I've only had a few days of leisure and comfort at the governor's mansion. The rest of the time, I'm either in prison or on the road fleeing famine and hardship...

Xin Nian sat up abruptly, slipped on her slippers, and walked to the wooden window.

Looking out through the lattice window frame, the trees block out most of the sunlight, leaving only scattered golden rays that filter through the gaps between the leaves.

The trees today are even more robust than they were yesterday, probably because the little bee Xie Ninglan got up early this morning to start stimulating and nourishing the trees.
