Chapter 1031 Mom, Your Son is Here to See You
Regardless of the chill of early spring, Old Man Xiao knelt down in front of the small grave, touched the soil, and cried like a child: "Chun Yi, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have accepted the mission even though I knew you were pregnant. We clearly agreed to be fine."
Xiao Changjiang's eyes were red as well: "Mom, your son is here to see you."
After saying that, he knelt down beside the grave. His lips were shaking so much that he couldn't utter a word. He simply covered his face and cried.
Zhang Haitang knelt silently beside them and placed the tributes she had brought. "Mom, I'm Zhang Haitang, Changjiang's wife. He's cried and called for you in his dreams several times when he got drunk. I never thought we would meet in this way."
Han Chunyi was born in Shanghai and later left Shanghai with her family to make a living, but many habits of the old Shanghainese people remained, such as asking her son to call her "Mom".
When Han Chunyi had the accident, Xiao Changjiang had already started to remember things. The longing that had been pent up for many years burst out directly after hearing his wife's words.
The younger generations who followed along also became red-eyed.
Only Xiao Changsheng stood there blankly, staring at the small grave mound: "I didn't expect that I was so close to you, and yet I knew nothing about it."
After saying that, his eyes turned red.
Thinking of the past forty years, and then thinking of Jiang Huiwen's confession that Master Xiao had told him, he said, "Mom, I am Changsheng, the child you held in your arms until the very last moment. Unfortunately, due to a series of circumstances, I didn't return to the place you wished. Fortunately, God was merciful and I found Dad."
As she spoke, she began to sob, which made people feel sad.
It is true. If it weren't for the arrival of the first snow and so many adventures, it would have been difficult for Xiao Changsheng to return to the Xiao family.
Thinking about the first forty years he spent in the Liu family and the plot in the book, he was lucky to have her as an alien soul.
Chu Xue has been wondering, if she had not come, would Han Huaiming have gone to recognize his relatives, would the Xiao family have discovered his identity, and what would have been the fate of the Xiao family?
Miao Yiqiu, who was standing by, burst into tears like beads that had broken off the string: "Sister Chunyi, I am Yiqiu, Miao Yiqiu, I, I, I am sorry, I..."
She finally didn't have the courage to continue. After a long pause, she said, "Sister Chunyi, you are so smart, you must have guessed it. I dare not ask for your forgiveness, but I have a clear conscience. Yude has been looking for you."
Old Man Xiao was helped up by his two sons. Xiao Changjiang took out a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Dad, the ground is cold. You will need to arrange all of Mom's affairs from now on. Take care of yourself."
Old Master Xiao stared at the small grave mound, his heart aching: "Chun Yi, I will take you away from here soon."
Seeing the sun setting, Zhang Haitang opened her mouth several times to say that she wanted to leave, but when she saw the father and his two sons with swollen eyes, she was unable to speak.
Miao Yiqiu was worried that the old man might not be able to handle it. "The forest is very cold, and it's even colder down here on the cliff. It's getting late, and it'll take quite a while to get down the mountain."
Old Master Xiao didn't wait for his son to persuade him. He glanced at the small grave mound reluctantly and said, "Let's go."
He had made up his mind. After returning, he would submit an application, resign from all his positions and return to the Xiao family land. He would first repair the tomb and then renovate the ancestral home. After the tomb was moved during the Qingming Festival, he would live in the family land permanently and accompany her to live a leisurely life for a few days, which was what they had always longed for.
Xiao Changjiang probably guessed what his father was thinking, but when he glanced at Miao Yiqiu, he looked troubled.
