Chapter 343 Fate
Liu Youran stared into her bright eyes, no matter what she looked like on the outside.
Zhuge Pei and Bai Wan'er also wanted to go forward, but they really didn't want to break this warm moment.
Xia Xing'er stepped forward and held Liu Youran's old hand. When she looked up and saw her white hair, she blinked slightly.
She looked at the old woman in front of her with some disbelief. Why was her mother's hair completely white, and there were wrinkles on her hands?
It shouldn't be like this. Why did it turn out like this? Is it because of my leaving that my mother's hair turned white overnight and she became so old?
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but look up and saw the man in the front of the crowd who also had white hair and looked decades older.
Her eyes couldn't help but turn red. It turned out that not only her mother's hair had turned completely white, but her father's hair was the same. She tried hard to suppress the tears in her eyes.
"Dad, Mom!"
This voice, so familiar that one would want to hear it even in one's dreams at midnight, rang out. Xia Chengsheng in front of the crowd and Liu Youran, who was holding Xia Xing'er's hand, suddenly had tears in their eyes.
Liu Youran hugged her directly and held her gently, as if he was afraid that if he used too much force, he would hurt the person in his arms who he had finally found.
Her head rested on Xia Xing'er's body, her body trembling. She didn't want anyone to see her crying.
Only then did Xing'er realize that her mother was now pitifully thin. She remembered that she used to be very healthy, no different from a young person. But her original shiny black hair was gone.
The collagen on the face gradually disappeared, and some wrinkles appeared at the corners of the eyes.
She still remembers how delicious the food her mother cooked was.
She felt so sad: "Mom, you must not have eaten well recently!"
Liu Youran seemed to have regained her spirits, no longer listless. Her voice was bright and energetic: "Mom will go eat in a minute. From now on, I won't miss any of the three meals a day. If that doesn't work, I'll have to add a midnight snack! And every meal will be different."
Zhuge Pei and Bai Wan'er, who were originally wiping their tears in sadness, burst into laughter when they heard Liu Youran's words.
Liu Youran held Xia Xing'er's hand, unwilling to let go for a moment. He looked at her again and called out, "Xing'er!"
Xia Xing'er understood Liu Youran's current mood and immediately responded: "Mother, mother, I'm here, I'm here!"
Liu Youran felt at ease at this moment!
She's not sleeping!
She was called up.
She followed people here!
She saw Xing'er!
This is not a dream!
"Come on, Mommy will take you to eat something delicious. Look at how skinny your little hands are. There's no flesh on them at all. You must have suffered a lot outside during this time!"
Liu Youran pinched her hand with heartache, touched her hand, and no longer saw anyone else in his eyes.
Whenever she thought about how Xing'er had suffered a lot outside during this period of time, and might have been injured, and had no good food to eat, her heart ached!
I always feel that my daughter must have suffered a lot of grievances in places where I can't see her.
Xia Xing'er had no way to refuse Liu Youran's enthusiasm and concern.
She just let Liu Youran hold her hand and walk back briskly. Although it was already very late, she couldn't spoil his mother's fun.
Zhuge Pei, Bai Wan'er, the Xia family father and son hurriedly followed, their eyes never leaving Xia Xing'er from beginning to end.
Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Wu, who had been ignored from beginning to end, looked at each other, said nothing, and followed.
There was a lot of buzz about Xia Xing'er's return. Many families in Shitou Village came out to watch. There were so many people that Liu Youran didn't have the heart to explain anything. She just asked Xia Qingyun to report to everyone that she was safe, and then she took Xia Xing'er back to her cabin.
She pointed at the cabin in front of her and said, "Look at this. Do you remember? You designed all these cabins yourself! I've never lived in such a cozy house before. I love it!"
"There's also the vegetable patch in front. The vegetables there are growing one after another. We can't even eat them all. I'll take them there to see it tomorrow morning. Those vegetables and fruits are growing well. They're big, round, fresh, and sweet!"
"Your two sisters-in-law have made a new dessert using the winter melon here. The business in the store is even more prosperous than before. I'll ask them to make you a cup later. You can try it and see if it's really delicious!"
Liu Youran was really happy in her heart. She pulled Xia Xing'er and talked non-stop, even telling her how many eggs the chickens at home laid in a day.
But she picked out all the good ones.
She noticed a hint of strangeness in Xia Xing'er's eyes, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on her hand, feeling a pain in her heart as if it were being stabbed.
However, Liu Youran pretended not to notice, as she didn't want the child to feel guilty for forgetting these things.
It doesn't matter whether she remembers it or how much she remembers, as long as they all remember it.
As long as we are alive, there will be more unforgettable and beautiful things in the future.
Liu Youran felt that she was full of energy at this moment. She washed the pot with swift movements, as if the powerful and strategic woman of the past had returned.
She had no appetite at night and had barely eaten a bite of food, so now she felt her stomach growling with hunger.
Liu Youran was hungry, so he thought Xia Xing'er was hungry too.
For late-night snacks, one shouldn’t eat anything too greasy, so Liu Youran cooked some sweet and soft pumpkin porridge, and took a bite of some crispy, sweet and delicious pickled cucumbers.
When adding more rice to the pot, Zhuge Pei, who was helping, smiled and said, "Mom, put more rice in. There are two men coming back with Xing'er. If I'm not mistaken, they are the former eldest and third princes!"
Liu Youran was stunned. "They're back? It seems my previous guess was true!"
She leaned over to take a look, and the two people's backs looked like the ones rumored to have died on the battlefield, Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Wu.
Seeing that her husband had asked his youngest son to take out all his treasured wines and put them on the table, she smiled and did not want to stop him.
She knew that the old man was also happy. During the time that Xing'er was missing, the two of them supported each other, comforted each other, and kept each other company.
Although neither of them mentioned Xing'er again, they never forgot her in their hearts and kept praying, hoping that their daughter would return safely.
Liu Youran smiled so hard that her teeth showed. "Okay, then I'll put more rice in!"
Being able to come back with Xing'er means that I have a connection with their whole family.
Whether they saved Xing'er or Xing'er saved them, it was all fate.
