Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Anxia stayed at home for two days, not going anywhere and not even leaving the house.
She locked herself in her room for two days, doing nothing but sorting out her thoughts.
She figured it out.
Everything has its own laws. Since it's already a fait accompli, there's no point in struggling about it.
Therefore, she accepted all the changes.
Whether in the past or the future, it is the same.
Having figured it out, Jiang Anxia decided to make mushroom stewed chicken. It was afternoon, so by the time it was done, it would be time for dinner.
They quickly took out the mushrooms they had found earlier, washed them clean, and chopped the hen into pieces to remove the blood.
(Friendly reminder: Please search on Baidu or Douyin for specific instructions, as the author does not know how to use dT-Tb.)
With everything ready, Jiang Anxia moved a stool into the yard.
She wanted to watch a sunset properly; she hadn't done so in so long.
As the sun set, the pale yellow light shone on Jiang Anxia's face, as if coating her with a beautiful, soft glow.
The sunlight playfully danced on Jiang Anxia's face, eyebrows, and eyelashes.
Like a dancing sprite, nimble and free, undisturbed by anyone.
Just then, someone knocked on Jiang Anxia's courtyard.
Jiang Anxia, who was looking at the horizon, was also surprised. She was curious who would come at this hour.
But as long as he thought about it, he didn't hesitate at all to take out the tools for self-defense from his storage space.
Pepper spray, Super Pepper brand, is worth having.
"Young comrade, it's me, Zhang Hongbo." The person outside the door, perhaps having waited too long for anyone to open the door, took the initiative to state his name.
Hearing this, Jiang Anxia's tense heart relaxed a little, and she became less nervous.
She loosened the spray in her hand slightly and went to open the door.
Once she could see who was outside the door, Jiang Anxia's worries were basically gone.
The spray bottle placed behind them was also retracted into the space.
"Xiaxia, we meet again." An Yuxi popped out from behind Zhang Hongbo and greeted Jiang Anxia.
"Grandpa Zhang, please come in!" Jiang Anxia smiled slightly and stepped aside to let them in.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late, young lady." Zhang Hongbo smiled kindly at Jiang Anxia.
"It's nothing," Jiang Anxia gently shook her head.
"Xiaxia, we've come to see you about something." Seeing that Jiang Anxia's expression was fine, An Yuxi took over the conversation.
“I know.” Jiang Anxia paused for a moment.
She roughly guessed why An Yuxi had come this time.
"Please sit down, I'll go get you some water." Jiang Anxia led them into the main room, left them with those words, and headed towards the kitchen.
Luckily, she had boiled some water, otherwise she wouldn't have had any to drink.
"Grandpa Zhang, do you think we found the right person this time?" An Yuxi stared blankly at the spot where Jiang Anxia had left.
Although I already had the answer in my heart, I still wanted to confirm it again.
“That’s right, definitely right. This girl looks exactly like your mother when she was young, even her personality is similar.” Zhang Hongbo nodded affirmatively.
This time, it's definitely true. The An family has found their little girl.
"Yes, that's great." Upon hearing the affirmative answer, An Yuxi's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Found it! We've finally found it! After more than ten years, we've finally found it.
From now on, there will be sweet little girls calling him "brother".
"Please forgive my humble home." Jiang Anxia placed two cups of flower tea in front of the two of them.
She dried the flower tea when she was bored; otherwise, she would have just poured plain water into it.
"We can drink anything, it doesn't matter." An Yuxi suppressed her excitement and tried her best to appear as usual.
Jiang Anxia smiled inwardly. An Yuxi's nervous demeanor was somewhat different from when they first met.
He looked rather uncomfortable.
"Oh! This tea is delicious, it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth, it's wonderful, truly excellent." Zhang Hongbo had already picked up his cup and taken a small sip while the two were talking.
He initially thought that since it was flower tea, it would taste mediocre, but he was surprised when he tasted it.
He drew his conclusion too early; this flower tea is comparable to what he usually drinks.
It's even better than that. It seems I can't just drink that one kind of tea anymore; I should try some other kinds.
"Grandpa Zhang, do you like it? I'll pack some for you when you leave." Jiang Anxia smiled knowingly.
These flowers were grown in the garden and then dried, so they naturally taste better.
But it's only slightly better; it still can't compare to the taste of top-quality tea.
"Then it's a deal! You can't fool this old man." Zhang Hongbo laughed heartily, his face crinkling with wrinkles.
These are wrinkles that appear over time.
Each one tells a story.
"No, I promised I would install it for you." Jiang Anxia smiled gently, her manner very graceful.
For some reason, she felt a natural affinity for Zhang Hongbo.
This sense of closeness came about in a strange way, but Jiang Anxia didn't think anything of it.
Instead, I think it's best to let things take their natural course.
“Grandpa Zhang…” An Yuxi’s eyes flickered as she looked at Zhang Hongbo.
"Ahem..." Zhang Hongbo smiled sheepishly, "Well... little girl, we've come to ask you a few questions."
"I know what you want to ask." Jiang Anxia's smile gradually disappeared.
She had already guessed it.
"Then... Xiaxia, do you have this jade pendant?" As he spoke, An Yuxi took out a jade pendant from his bosom, which was exactly the same as the one that Jiang's father had given to Jiang Anxia.
