Recently, everyone in the Kyoto social circle is buzzing about one thing: it is said that the long-lost daughter of the Su family, one of the four major wealthy families, has returned.
Some p...
"By the way, Master, is there something you need from me so late?"
Zheng Xiaohu then realized that it was already very late, and his master and the others must have something urgent to do coming over so late.
"Oh, right, Little Tiger, your master thought about it and felt that your place was too unsafe. Pack your things and bring your younger siblings to stay at your master's house tonight. As for the future, if you want to stay somewhere else, we'll find you another place."
"But, Master?"
"There are no buts. Look at you, and look at your younger brother and sister. Your sister is already five years old, and she'll be starting elementary school next year. Little Monkey isn't little anymore either."
Zheng Xiaohu was somewhat reluctant. Over the years, he had learned that one is obligated to accept favors from others without asking for them in return. He couldn't bring himself to accept benefits from others without a second thought.
At this point, Su Ya realized that continuing this stalemate was not a solution.
Old Yan meant well.
But what he didn't know was that many people wouldn't accept something just because you offer it to them.
So he said, "Uncle Yan, how about this, let them stay at Grandma's place. I'm a little worried about Grandma living alone. This way, Xiaohu can not only take care of Grandma, but also find a suitable place to stay. As for the rent, I will settle it with him separately."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiaohu looked at Su Ya with great gratitude.
Old Yan thought about it and agreed that this was a good idea.
He was worried about leaving his sister alone.
It would be even better if there was someone who could take care of her.
"Then let's leave it at that."
"Pack your things, I'll take you there."
Zheng Xiaohu's belongings were extremely simple: a few old but reasonably clean clothes, and an iron box left to him by his father. They didn't even have a suitcase.
Su Ya packed the items into the bag she had bought for clothes that day. "Driver, please get in the car first. I'll go talk to the lady next door."
Zheng Xiaohu took his younger siblings to the house next door, to the house of the aunt in the floral jacket that Old Yan and the others had met that afternoon. Her surname was Li.
"Aunt Li, my younger brother and sister and I are leaving here. Thank you so much for taking care of us all these years. I have no way to repay you now, but I will definitely repay you all when I am able to."
After Zheng Xiaohu finished speaking, he was about to lead his younger siblings to kneel down before Aunt Li's family.
Aunt Li immediately pulled him away when she saw this.
"Xiaohu, this won't do. Aunt Li didn't do anything. Have you found a place to go?"
"Yes, Aunt Li. I found a master, and he helped me change my place of residence. This afternoon, my younger brother and sister almost got lost, and my master was worried about them."
"Oh my god, you're saying the little rabbit and the little monkey almost got lost."
Upon hearing this, the aunt's voice immediately rose eight octaves.
The sound was incredibly penetrating; it felt like everyone in the area could hear it.
"Why didn't you tell Aunt Li about something so important? We could have helped you look for it."
"I was in too much of a rush and didn't have time to say it."
"My child, I'm being too formal with Aunt Li."
Then I heard her say, "It's a blessing for you to leave this place. Take good care of yourselves from now on."
"Yes, Aunt Li, I will. I will try my best. Aunt Li, we're leaving now."
"Okay, kid, go now and take good care of your younger siblings."
After saying that, Aunt Li wiped away her tears with her hand.
Although these children were not her biological children, she treated them as if they were half her own.
When there are people at home, they think of them even when there's something delicious to eat.
All these years of friendship haven't been for nothing.
Zheng Xiaohu got into Yan Wencheng's car with his younger siblings.
As for the rent here, no one cares when you leave.
Just ask someone you know to talk to the landlord.
As for getting a refund, that's out of the question.
Mr. Yan and his group soon arrived at the neighborhood near Kyoto No. 1 Middle School, where Grandma Yan lived.
Su Ya swiped her card and led Zheng Xiaohu and the others to Grandma Yan's residence.
As soon as Grandma heard the door open, she knew it was Su Ya.
Grandma Yan came out before Su Ya could even enter the house.
The old man always goes to bed early.
"Ya Ya, why are you here so late?"
Su Ya turned on the living room light, and only then did Grandma Yan see that there were many people behind Su Ya, including Grandpa Yan and his son, as well as three teenagers.
Grandma Yan asked with some surprise, "Ya Ya, what's this?"
"Grandma, this is Zheng Xiaohu. He is Master Yan's apprentice. The two over there, one called Little Monkey and the other Little Rabbit, are his younger brother and sister. They will be living here with you from now on. I will tell you the rest when I come over tomorrow."
Su Ya pushed Zheng Xiaohu in front of Grandma Yan.
Grandma Yan always listened to Su Ya.
Knowing that Ya Ya always had her own ideas, she didn't ask why.
Xuan Tou turned to Xiao Hu and the others and said, "Come inside quickly and warm up. I'll go get some water."
Su Ya also signaled for Zheng Xiaohu and the others to come in.
Soon, Grandma Yan brought out several glasses of water.
"Xiaoshu, you can rest assured about leaving the children with me. It's so late, you should all go home first, we can talk about the rest tomorrow. Oh, and please take Yaya home for me. Wencheng, hurry up and take your dad home, you know he's not in good health, why isn't he home by this late?"
"Okay, Auntie, I'll take my dad back now."
Su Ya also left with Elder Yan and the others.
She knew that Grandma Yan would arrange everything.
After Su Ya and Old Man Yan left, Zheng Xiaohu felt somewhat uneasy.
I don't know what to say.
"Your name is Xiaohu, right? Don't be nervous. Now that you're here with Grandma, treat this place as your own home."
"Yes, Grandma."
Zheng Xiaohu also started calling Yan Cuihua "Grandma" along with Su Ya.
"Little rabbit and little monkey, right? Grandma will cook something delicious for you tomorrow, okay?"
The little rabbit was still a child, and when it heard about the delicious food and saw how gentle its grandmother was, it immediately understood.
Suddenly I wasn't scared anymore.
"Thank you, Grandma."
There was only the baby monkey, and it felt a little unfamiliar.
Although the 10-year-old child didn't fully understand, he knew that from now on they had a home again.
Grandma changed their blankets; they're warm and cozy.
It's something the little rabbit, the little monkey, and the little tiger have never slept in before.
I even gave the little rabbit a hot bath.
Afterwards, Zheng Xiaohu also gave the little monkey a bath.
That's why girls are so thoughtful.
When Suya took the little rabbit and little monkey shopping for clothes in the afternoon, she had already picked out a lot of underwear and clothes for them. However, she asked the salesperson to deliver them to Grandma Yan's place ahead of time.
Don't ask Suya why she prepared in advance.
Su Ya initially had the idea of Xiao Hu and the others accompanying Grandma Yan, and planned to bring it up with Zheng Xiao Hu in a few days.
Moreover, she was confident they wouldn't refuse.
As for their size, surely a hacker can't even do something like that?
However, I didn't expect that Old Yan also had this idea.
Go with the flow
This matter was brought forward.
After Su Ya left, she also sent a message to Grandma Yan, telling her that clothes had been prepared for the children inside.
