The next day.
"Okay, kids, that's all you've learned today. Go play on your own."
Xiao Lingyu put down the book, turned to look at the man on the Arhat bed, and stretched out her hand to him, "It's time to practice walking."
Su Xingyi looked at the little hand that was stretched out, with a faint smile on his lips. He stretched out his big hand to hold it, and with a little leverage he stood up straight.
Before going to bed last night, Su Xingyi discovered that he could stand up without any help and could walk freely without being led by hand.
But he didn't want to walk free so soon.
Xiao Lingyu pulled him towards the yard, and Su Xingyi continued to move forward at a snail's pace, taking one step at a time.
Xiao Lingyu would take two or three steps, then stop and wait for him to catch up with her, and then Xiao Lingyu would continue the same operation.
"Xingyi, why don't you stay at home tomorrow?"
Xiao Lingyu saw that there seemed to be no progress in walking him for the past three days.
Tomorrow is the big day of the milk tea shop opening, so we may not have time to take care of him.
Su Xingyi, "Didn't we agree that our family of six would go to the county tomorrow?"
"The milk tea shop will be very busy tomorrow because of its opening. It looks like your legs will need a few more days of practice before they can walk freely. If you want to go, you can only stay at Luoxia Cottage. However, you have just recovered and it is not suitable for you to ride in a carriage."
Xiao Lingyu was so frustrated that he had no choice but to stay at home.
Su Xingyi suddenly became anxious. He was looking forward to his family of six going to the county. "I can walk freely now, you see."
Su Xingyi let go of Xiao Lingyu's hand and walked in front of Xiao Lingyu.
His steps were very natural, and there was no trace of his previous cautious look, as if he was afraid of falling.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu looked puzzled. This is unlikely, right?
At least there is a gradual process, this span is a bit too big!
Su Xingyi walked over from a distance with a smile, "I'm fine now, thank you, Xiaoyu."
Xiao Lingyu's expression was inexpressible. He looked into his eyes for a moment before saying, "Have you discovered a long time ago that you can walk freely?"
"I……"
Su Xingyi wanted to make up an excuse to get away with it, but thinking that Xiao Lingyu was very smart and he couldn't fool her at all, he had to tell the truth.
"I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Xiao Lingyu recalled that when he was walking at a snail's pace just now, his big palm was tightly holding her small hand. It seemed that he was very happy holding her hand these days.
It turns out he likes holding her hand!
Xiao Lingyu scolded, "If I hadn't told you not to go to the county tomorrow, would you have wanted me to accompany you to practice for a few more days?"
Su Xingyi was speechless for a moment when he heard this. This was indeed his idea. He just wanted to spend a few more days with her in close proximity.
Seeing that he remained silent, Xiao Lingyu snorted lightly. He was very dishonest.
Xiao Lingyu shook his right hand, which had been held by him. "Now that you've confessed everything, I have no reason to be angry. However, don't hide anything from me in the future. Tell me immediately. I don't like lying children, and I don't like lying adults either."
Su Xingyi was very glad that he had confessed honestly, "I promise I won't lie to you again."
Xiao Lingyu looked at his handsome face and pursed her lips. "You must keep your word."
…
"Big brother, look, there are two beautiful carriages coming to the village."
Su Ning'an was squatting by the stream, concentrating on observing the fish in the water. When he heard the sound, he turned his head to look over.
"It's the Lu family's carriage. Let's go back quickly."
"Mom, Uncle Chu Yu and Aunt are here." Su Ning'an ran back first to report the news.
Xiao Lingyu's lips curled up slightly when he heard this, and the seeds planted in Lu Mansion took root and sprouted.
"Your second brother is in the backyard, call him out quickly."
After Su Ning'an left, Su Xingyi approached and whispered, "Are the Lu family members here to confirm Brother Jie'er's identity?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded, "Probably. Would you be reluctant to let go?"
Su Xingyi said, "I'm a little reluctant to let go."
"Dad, what are you reluctant about?" Su Ningjie hurried to the front yard. He roughly guessed what was going on.
Su Xingyi lifted Su Ningjie up and said, "Dad is well now. I can lift you up high. Are you happy?"
"happy."
How could Su Ningjie not be happy? He was the first person to hold his father up high when he recovered.
"Dad, we want it too.
Su Ning'an pulled Su Ningwen, who was studying seriously, out of the room and brought him to the yard.
The two brothers looked up at Su Ningjie, who was lifted above Su Xingyi's head and carried on his back, with envy and jealousy on their faces.
"Okay, okay, come one by one."
"Mrs. Su."
When Lu Yuan led Xiao Xier into the yard, she saw this scene of loving father and filial son.
"Sister, why did you decide to come here today?" Xiao Lingyu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lu Yuan into the main room.
Lu Yuan looked back at Su Ningjie from time to time, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including surprise, surprise, pain, guilt, heartache, and more importantly, the feeling of regaining what he had lost.
Su Ningjie subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Yuan and blurted out, "Godmother, I am your godson now. You can't call me your godson anymore."
Lu Yuan suppressed the urge to rush over and hug him, and nodded with a smile, "Sister, remember, you are my brother."
"Brother Jie, Brother An, Brother Wen, Xiao Xi." Si Chuyu got off the carriage holding a large blue brocade box. "The carriage is full of gifts prepared for you. Go and take a look."
"Uncle Chu Yu, are these all for us?"
When the four brothers saw the car filled with gifts, they couldn't help but gasp. This must have cost a lot of money.
"Yes, all six of you will have a share. Let's move into the yard."
He Jianzhang couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw this. How could Si Chuyu and his wife have such a good relationship with the Su family? They gave him a cart full of gifts as soon as they arrived. He didn't even get this treatment...
In the main room.
Lu Yuan handed an invitation to Xiao Lingyu. "My grandfather's birthday is in the middle of next month. We won't have a big banquet this time, just a family dinner together. Brother Jie is my adopted brother, and our Su and Lu families are one family. You, your family of six, must come to the banquet."
Xiao Lingyu picked up the invitation and took a look. "Since you said we're a family, we should definitely attend the banquet... By the way, have you found any clues about the murderer behind the persecution of you two sisters?"
"My second and fourth aunts."
Xiao Lingyu's expression tightened. "Then do you know why they persecuted you two sisters?"
"Because my mother was pregnant with twins."
Xiao Lingyu's eyebrows moved slightly, her guess was indeed correct.
"When they saw that my mother was pregnant with two sons, they suffocated my eldest brother to death and threw him into a mass grave outside the city for the sake of their sons' future..."
In the yard, facing the main hall, Su Ningjie was absent-mindedly opening large and small brocade boxes.
It turns out that his mother was murdered, no wonder she didn't come to find him.
The child who was suffocated to death should be me.
