"It's Xiuhe."

"Mom, what are you doing here? How long have you been sitting here?"

"Not long, not long, just a moment."

Bai Xiuhe touched the old man's clothes and found they were a little wet. They must have been stained with morning dew. She could tell at a glance that he must have been sitting there for a long time, not just a moment.

"Mom, come in with me. Your clothes are all wet. Come on, I'll take you in to change."

"No, no, Xiuhe, I'm waiting for Linglan to come back."

When Bai Xiuhe heard the word "Lily of the Valley", she was stunned.

She knew that this was the name of her abducted sister-in-law.

It seems that mother is missing her sister-in-law again?

She also thought that when she first got married, her sister-in-law had not yet been abducted. She was so young, so pretty and cute, and she treated her sister-in-law as her daughter.

When her sister-in-law was abducted, her heart suddenly felt empty. Whenever she thought of this missing piece, she felt a burning pain.

Grandma Zhang leaned close to Bai Xiuhe's ear and whispered, "Xiuhe, let me tell you, I had a dream last night. I dreamed of Lanlan."

"She said she was going home and asked me to wait for her here."

So, as soon as Grandma Zhang woke up, she came to the gate of the yard and waited.

Just like before, when Zhang Linglan was still a child and went out to play, Grandma Zhang would always sit here and wait for her to come home after playing.

When Bai Xiuhe heard this, tears almost fell from her eyes.

But looking at the joy and expectation on my mother-in-law's face.

She held back.

She was also looking forward to her sister-in-law's return.

But she also knew that the chances of her sister-in-law coming back were slim.

But at this moment, she couldn't bear to destroy the old man's expectations.

That's so cruel.

In fact, if possible, she hoped that her mother-in-law's dream would come true and her sister-in-law would really come back.

But she knew that dreams were just dreams.

"Mom, how about this, you see your clothes are all wet, let's go back to the house to change first, and then wait, okay?"

Grandma Zhang hesitated.

"Otherwise, when Lanlan comes back and sees that you didn't even change your wet clothes just to wait for her, she will blame herself if you get sick."

Grandma Zhang suddenly realized and felt that what her daughter-in-law said made sense.

So, he was helped by Bai Xiuhe to go in and change into dry clothes.

Then she sat down at the gate of the yard again, her eyes looking towards the village entrance.

Bai Xiuhe stood there, looking at her mother-in-law's hunched and thin back as she sat on the threshold of the yard. She sighed slightly, and her eyes became red unconsciously.

Lanlan, did you see your mother waiting for you to come back?

If you know, if you are still alive in this world, come back quickly.

Before your father died, the only thing he cared about was you.

Your mother is also looking forward to your return day and night.

We are waiting for your return too.

Lanlan, Mom is already old, and she doesn’t know how many more years she can wait.

So, please come back soon.

Bai Xiuhe kept praying in her heart.

Bai Xiuhe returned to the house and happened to see her husband getting up.

Her husband immediately noticed her red eyes and asked her what was wrong.

Bai Xiuhe did not hide anything and told her that her mother-in-law insisted on sitting on the doorstep waiting for her sister-in-law to come back.

After listening to this, Zhang Yuanshan was silent for a long time.

Said: "Let her wait, let's not disturb her."

It's from before dawn until it's almost dark.

She sat there all day, looking towards the village entrance, hoping that the person she was waiting for would appear.

Some of her grandchildren asked her: Grandma, why are you sitting here?

Grandma Zhang replied: I am waiting for your aunt to come back.

"Is my aunt coming back?"

"Yes, she is coming back."

"Then I will stay with grandma and wait for my aunt to come back."

So the child sat down and waited together.

I just kept waiting, but still no one showed up.

The child was young and couldn't sit still, so he got up and ran away to play without waiting.

Grandma Zhang was still waiting. Except for eating and going to the toilet, she was waiting without moving a step.

Some neighbors and villagers who passed by saw Grandma Zhang sitting outside and were curious, so they asked her what she was doing.

"I'm waiting for my Lanlan to come back. My Lanlan will be back soon."

Everyone knows that Grandma Zhang has a little daughter who was abducted, and Lanlan is the name of that little daughter.

Seeing Grandma Zhang like this, they sighed and left. They couldn't bear to expose her, and couldn't bear to tell her: The child has been abducted for so many years, how could he possibly come back.

I could only say, "Okay, then you wait. When Lanlan comes back, you must bring her to my house for a visit."

"Oh, of course."

So, the people next to Grandma Zhang sat and left, and the people passing by the door came and went, but only she stayed sitting at the threshold, looking around.

Everyone said that Grandma Zhang might be old and confused, so this happened.

This person is quite pitiful.

Grandma Zhang sat like this from before dawn until now in the evening.

It was getting slightly dark.

Those who went to the fields were also packing up and going home.

"Oh, are you still waiting for your Lanlan to come back?" When I passed by, I saw Grandma Zhang was still there, so I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Grandma Zhang nodded in response.

After waiting for a whole day, she did not show any anxiety or impatience.

It seemed as if no matter how long she waited, it was worth it, because as long as she kept waiting, she would definitely wait for her little daughter to come back.

"Mom, let's go in and eat. It's getting dark. Don't wait any longer. How about we wait tomorrow?" Bai Xiuhe had already prepared the meal. Seeing her mother-in-law sitting and waiting for the whole day, she felt very sad.

"You guys eat first. I'm going to wait for Lanlan."

"Mom, Lanlan she..." Bai Xiuhe almost blurted out that Lanlan might not come back, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

"It's dark now. Even if Lanlan wants to come back, she has to wait until tomorrow. Can we wait until tomorrow?" Unable to say such hurtful words, Bai Xiuhe could only advise her tactfully.

But this time the old lady seemed unusually stubborn, "No, Lanlan said she would come back today. It's getting dark, and Lanlan should be back by now."

"In the past, it was around this time for dinner, and I would wait for Lanlan to come back."

"Lanlan, she loves to play, but when it gets dark, she knows I'm waiting for her here, so she will definitely come back."

"Mom, you..." After hearing these words, Bai Xiuhe couldn't hold back her tears.

Yes, it was like this in the past. At that time, my sister-in-law was still a child of four or five years old and was playing in the village, but as soon as it got dark, she knew that her mother was waiting for her there, so she would run home immediately.

And now...

"Look, my Lanlan is back, she is back..."

Just when Bai Xiuhe was feeling sad, she suddenly heard her mother-in-law stand up and stumble forward.

Bai Xiuhe looked up and seemed to vaguely see a figure appear at the entrance of the village...

As expected, I am more suited to writing tear-jerking plots, hehe.
