“Brother and sister-in-law, Sister Shen is here! Sister Shen is here!”
As soon as Duan Beihai and Shen Xiaobei walked into the yard, they shouted loudly, and the people in the house came out one after another.
"Xiaobei, hey, you're here?"
"Xiaobei!"
"Sister Hongmian, Brother Duan!"
Gao Hongmian and Duan Donglin came out of the house first. When they saw Shen Xiaobei, they walked towards her quickly with a look of surprise.
Following behind them was Gao Hongmian’s mother-in-law Wang Zhaodi.
"Hongmian, is this the little girl from Xiaobei that you always told us about? Hey, this girl looks familiar to me."
"Auntie, so you are Sister Hongmian's mother-in-law! We met last year, by the river. Do you remember?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I remember now. You're the girl that our old Duan rescued from the river that day. No wonder you looked so familiar! Girl, your clothes were soaked that day. Did you catch a cold when you got home?"
"No, no, thank you for your concern! Is my uncle feeling well when he came home that day? Does he have a cold?"
"Alas, our old Duan usually looks very healthy, but that day he came back and had a high fever at night. Fortunately, it was gone by the next morning."
"Ah? So uncle fell ill as soon as he got home. It's all my fault. I'm sorry, aunt! I didn't know. Otherwise, I would have come to visit you two a long time ago. I'm so sorry!"
"My dear, this happened so long ago, you don't have to worry about it! Besides, he's in good health now, nothing's wrong! Hey, let's not stand here and talk, Hongmian, quickly ask my dear Xiaobei to come in and sit down!"
"Oh, yes, Mom! So you and Xiaobei have known each other for a long time! That's such a coincidence, I don't even need to introduce you! Come on, Xiaobei, let's go in and talk!"
Shen Xiaobei had never expected that the original owner fell into the water while picking duck eggs by the river last year, and she miraculously traveled through time and space to her body at this moment.
The couple who rescued her and helped her push the water out were actually Duan Xichuan and Duan Beihai's parents, Gao Hongmian's parents-in-law.
She actually knew Duan Xichuan's parents, his younger brother, and his brother and sister-in-law before she met him.
I got to know almost all of his family members and knew them all pretty well.
Originally, Shen Xiaobei wanted to take this opportunity to contact Duan Xichuan's parents when he went to Liu Juan's house for the New Year dinner to visit Gao Hongmian.
See what his parents’ temperament and personality are like, and whether they are in love with each other?
Is the family atmosphere as Gao Hongmian usually describes, where the whole family is harmonious?
If that is indeed the case, then she will have a more objective, confident and well-founded understanding of Duan Xichuan's true temperament and personality.
You can also have more confidence in your future and his future.
After Shen Xiaobei followed Gao Hongmian to the main hall and sat down, Duan Donglin went to prepare some sugar water for her to drink.
Gao Hongmian went to the room to get a fruit box and invited her to eat peanuts, melon seeds and candy.
Wang Zhaodi nagged her affectionately, "Girl, why did you bring so many things? It's too expensive! Next time you come to our house, don't bring anything with you. It's not easy for a girl to save money!"
"Haha, auntie, I didn't know you were Sister Hongmian's mother-in-law. I didn't bring you anything valuable this time. It's not expensive!"
"Xiaobei, don't just sit for a while and leave. You have to have dinner at our house tonight. We haven't seen each other for a while, so we need to have a good chat!"
"Yes, Xiaobei, stay for dinner tonight. After dinner, your sister Hongmian and I will take you back to the Baiju Brigade!"
"Yes, my daughter, I often hear Hongmian and Beihai mention you, and today I finally see you in person! You can stay at our house tonight and have dinner with us. When you have time in the future, come over and visit us often!"
"Hongmian told us that you are her benefactor. The clothes she made are selling well, thanks to your drawings and ideas!"
"And Beihai also said that the pencils and exercise books he used were all given to him by you, Sister Shen. It really cost you too much!"
“Yes, Sister Shen, you can have the New Year’s Eve dinner at my house tonight! After the New Year’s Eve dinner, let’s set off firecrackers and have fun together!”
…
The enthusiasm of Wang Zhaodi, Gao Hongmian, Duan Donglin and Duan Beihai almost made Shen Xiaobei unable to resist, and he wanted to agree to them without hesitation, "Okay, then I will stay and have a New Year's Eve dinner with you."
However, he changed his mind and thought that his relationship with Duan Xichuan had not been made public.
Duan Xichuan was still in the army, and if she had New Year's Eve dinner at his house so openly, she felt that people would talk about her and it would look very unpleasant.
There is still a long time to come, so it is better not to rush to have this New Year's Eve dinner with them.
Therefore, Shen Xiaobei finally resisted the enthusiasm of the four of them rationally, and politely declined, saying that he would come over to wish them a happy new year when he went to Liu Juan's house on the third day of the New Year.
After sitting in Duan's house for more than half an hour, Shen Xiaobei also met Duan Xichuan's grandparents and father who had returned from outside one after another.
After a long round of warm greetings and attempts to persuade her to stay, she was able to get up and leave the Duan family.
On the way back slowly alone, Shen Xiaobei's mind was still unconsciously emerging with scenes of the Duan family members being enthusiastic towards her one by one, two by three.
Before she traveled through time, all her closest family members had passed away.
After traveling through time, she has not met the original owner's family yet. Until now, she only feels a little bit of affection for the original owner's father because of the letter he wrote to her.
This was the first time that she felt the warmth of a big family when she visited the Duan family.
