On the way home, the carriage slowly moved forward, the wheels rumbling, as if humming a ballad about home and love. Outside the carriage window, pear blossoms fluttered down like sleet, like a grand and gentle flower rain, adding a touch of poetry and romance to the journey home. Su Jinli leaned gently on Jiang Yan's sturdy shoulder, her gaze softly falling on Si Yan. The pure white pear blossoms, like ethereal fairies, slowly fell on the abacus in Si Yan's hand, reflecting the beads and forming a tranquil and beautiful picture.

"Jiang Yan," Su Jinli whispered, her voice soft and affectionate like a breeze brushing against petals. "Thank you." Those three simple words held a thousand words. She was grateful for fate's miraculous arrangement, allowing her to be reborn; even more grateful to the man before her, who had given her a warm and complete home, allowing her to finally find a place of peace after enduring the hardships of her past life.

Jiang Yan tilted his head slightly and gently kissed her forehead. A thin layer of mist had formed on his glasses, a reflection of the hazy, yet deeply affectionate, tenderness in his heart. "I should be thankful for marrying you." His voice was deep and rich, like a fine wine, intoxicating. He knew that Su Jinli's appearance, like the first ray of spring sunshine, illuminated his world and made his life complete and meaningful.

At this moment, Siyan seemed to have discovered something new. He suddenly raised the abacus in his hand high, his eyes flashing with excitement, and a clear child's voice rang out in the carriage: "Dad! I calculated that grandma received five sacrifices!" The childish voice was full of pride, as if he had accomplished something extremely important.

Nianli was not to be outdone, and quickly counted on her little fingers, in a baby voice: "Chili candy, abacus, storytelling books, rouge, and jujube paste cake!" Her eyes were sparkling, and her little face was filled with an innocent smile. Every time she mentioned an offering, it was as if she was recalling the warmth and solemnity of the ancestor worship.

Su Xiang sat aside, watching his children and grandchildren play happily, his heart filled with comfort and joy. He turned slightly and whispered to the old housekeeper beside him, "Go to the accounting office and get some more money to buy candy for the children." His eyes were full of love, as if seeing the children's happy faces when they ate the candy, his heart also felt sweet.

Su Qingyao looked at her father's slightly red eyes and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Then, with a hint of joking, she handed him the rouge and said, "Dad, wipe your tears! Your makeup's all smudged." Her words were playful, but her eyes were filled with concern for her father. In this loving family, such teasing and concern became their unique way of expressing affection.

Outside the train window, the pear blossom rain continued to patter, its fine threads a blessing from heaven. Though the rain was still icy cold, for some reason, a warm warmth permeated the train compartment. This warmth came from the deep bonds between family members, from those beautiful moments of companionship and support.

Su Jinli quietly gazed at her family, a flood of emotion filling her heart. The loneliness of her past life was like a gloomy painting, a stark contrast to the warm scene before her. She recalled those lonely days in her past life, the torment of illness, the indifference of her loved ones, a heavy cloud that weighed heavily on her, making her feel breathless. Now, surrounded by a loving husband, adorable and understanding children, and a family that was thicker than blood, the transformation made her feel as if she were in a beautiful dream.

She suddenly felt that every drop of rain in this life was no longer cold, but sweet as honey. The fine rain seemed like a sweet gift from fate, washing away the sorrow and pain of her past life and bringing her this life full of happiness and warmth.

Deep within the pear blossoms, her mother's tombstone stood quietly. Amidst the rain of pear blossoms, the tombstone seemed even more solemn and majestic, yet also tinged with a touch of tenderness. Su Jinli could almost see her mother smiling down at them from behind the tombstone, a smile filled with love and comfort, as if she were happy for her current happy life. Although her mother's passing had once been a permanent pain in her heart, now she felt as if her mother had always been by her side, silently protecting her, watching her transform all the grievances of her past life into the sweetness and happiness that filled her family today.

The carriage continued to move slowly forward. The pear blossom rain outside the window gradually subsided. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the clouds, shimmering onto the earth, casting a golden glow over the entire world. Inside the carriage, the joyful laughter of the family members still echoed, like the most beautiful piece of music, playing a melody of happiness.

Su Jinli closed her eyes, feeling Jiang Yan's warmth and listening to the children's laughter, her heart filled with hope for the future. She knew that the days ahead might be filled with ups and downs, but as long as she had her family by her side, she had nothing to fear.

Jiang Yan looked at Su Jinli's peaceful appearance, his heart filled with tenderness. He secretly vowed to protect this home, Su Jinli and the children, and let them be happy forever.

Siyan and Nianli were still immersed in their own happy world. They discussed how much candy they could buy with the silver the old housekeeper had brought, and planned to share it with their friends. The world of children is always so pure and beautiful, full of endless joy and anticipation.

Looking at the innocent faces of his grandchildren, Su Xiang felt a sense of wonder at the passage of time. He once thought that life had lost its color after losing his wife, but now seeing his children growing up healthily and his family harmonious and happy, he knew that life was still full of hope and surprises.

Su Qingyao watched all this quietly from the side, her heart filled with warmth. She felt lucky to live in such a loving family and looked forward to the days to come when this family would remain so warm and happy.
