"What time is it?"
"It's seven quarters past noon now."
Mrs. Xiao's second wife, Liang, led a maid into the room carrying afternoon tea.
"Your elder brother should have found Yu'er's whereabouts by now, right?"
Liang was a little helpless as her mother-in-law would ask her every half an hour.
"According to the itinerary, Big Brother has already found out Yu'er's whereabouts from the county government office. He should be on his way to that family now. If all goes well, Big Brother will be able to bring Yu'er back tomorrow."
Madam Xiao took the hot tea from the maid and took a sip slowly. "It would be best if that family wasn't too difficult and let Yu'er go as soon as possible..."
"Mom, don't worry. Common people don't dare to go against the powerful. Big brother will take care of everything when he goes there."
Old Madam Xiao was still a little worried, after all, there were always unruly people in remote and poor areas.
Her eldest son is not the kind of person who likes to use his power to oppress others.
"Hopefully, this goes smoothly and there are no obstacles."
After saying this, Mrs. Xiao lay back on the bed with a gloomy look on her face.
Liang saw that if Madam Xiao continued like this, her health would get worse and worse. The journey back to Beijing would be difficult and would take many days.
"The court doctor said you need to walk around the yard more often and get some sun so that you can recover. The sun is shining brightly now. Would you like your daughter-in-law to help you sit in the yard?"
Madam Xiao was very tired and didn't want to move. "You guys go by yourselves. I'm too old to walk."
"Yu'er used to love making medicinal food for you to nourish your body. When Yu'er comes back tomorrow and sees that you are not as healthy as before, she will feel distressed. On the way back, she will definitely make you..." medicinal food.
"Help me up!"
Old Madam Xiao interrupted Liang and said that her granddaughter had suffered a lot in that family, and she didn't bring her back just to let her worry about it.
"Okay, your daughter-in-law will help you up." Liang smiled and walked forward to help Madam Xiao to the yard.
It’s still effective to mention Yuer!
"Madam, my eyelids are twitching." When Xiao Tianci saw Madam Xiao coming into the yard, he stood up and greeted her.
Old Madam Xiao looked carefully and saw that Xiao Tianci's left eyelid was twitching rhythmically!
"It should be Ah Su who has seen our Yu'er. We will be able to see her tomorrow."
"Hahaha...I think so too..."
＊
"Sister Xi, come and sleep here with grandpa."
Xiao Su saw Xiao Xier sitting in Xiao Lingyu's arms, looking drowsy and very cute.
She also felt sorry for Yu'er who must be very tired holding Xijie, so she coaxed little Xi'er to sleep on the soft couch.
Xiao Xier got off Xiao Lingyu nimbly and ran towards Xiao Su happily.
Her grandfather called her, and she had to hurry!
Xiao Su gently picked her up and placed her on the couch, coaxing her to sleep softly.
"Go to sleep quickly. When you wake up, you will see your mother's grandparents..."
Xiao Xier saw that Xiao Su's face no longer had the cold look that they had when they first met, and there was still a kind smile in the corner of his eyes.
She felt inexplicably happy in her heart, because from today on she had a grandfather.
The happiness did not last long. She noticed a few dark circles under Xiao Su's eyes, and her heart ached suddenly.
She quickly climbed up from the couch and pinched Xiao Su's shoulder with her small hand, "Grandfather, you haven't had a good rest since you came to look for mother. Why don't you lie down and have a good sleep, okay?"
ha!
This little girl knows how to feel sorry for others even at such a young age.
The Su family’s tutoring is pretty good.
"Grandfather is a martial artist, he's not tired, you have to be good, you have to lie down and sleep."
Little Xier's little arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he lay down obediently and went to sleep.
Xiao Xier didn't take a nap in the first place, and soon closed her eyes deeply.
Xiao Su sat upright with his eyes half closed, looking at the couple sitting opposite him.
Xiao Lingyu dozed off against the car window, lowering and raising his head from time to time.
Su Xingyi was anxious, fearing that Xiao Lingyu would dive headfirst onto the small table. He really wanted to sit next to Xiao Lingyu and let her sleep with her head resting on his shoulder.
He didn't dare to do that in front of Xiao Su.
What should I do? It's urgent!
"Oh, I need to get off and ride my horse. It's too stuffy sitting in the carriage. Xingyi, please take good care of them..."
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Xiao Su got off the carriage, and Su Xingyi quickly sat beside Xiao Lingyu, gently holding her shoulders. "Xiaoyu, you'll feel more comfortable resting your head on my shoulder."
"Okay," Xiao Lingyu responded with a smile.
Xiao Su looked back at the carriage while riding on horseback, and the open curtains were lowered.
Xiao Su couldn't help but purse his lips when he saw this.
If Dad knew that he not only brought Yu'er back but also brought his entire family back, would he beat him?
In the carriage ahead.
Su Ningan put down his paintbrush and said, "Second brother, look at how I drew my third brother. Doesn't he look very similar?"
Su Ningjie took it and looked at it. "Brother, you are getting better and better. You can draw the third brother without even looking at him."
"Mother can draw people just by listening to their dictation. I can't do that yet. I need to learn from her."
Su Ningjie took another look at Su Ningwen's portrait and said, "Brother, take it to Grandfather. You told him today that you wanted to earn money by painting to support Mother. Grandfather may not believe you. Let him see it for himself so that he can know that what we said is true."
Su Ning'an's eyes lit up, "You're right, let's go together."
When Xiao Su saw the carriage in front stopped, he hurriedly stopped the carriage behind.
"Are you two brothers going to take care of the urgency?"
"No, we came to show you the painting."
The two brothers stood at the front of the carriage, spread out Su Ningwen's portrait and held it high in front of Xiao Su.
