"Why just you? Where are the others?"
Xia Jianing replied: "Grandma and the others took my aunt out to play. They said that the weather is good today and they want to take her out for a walk."
Xia Shige was relieved when he heard this. Ever since Jiang Yanhai's death, Xia Huimeng's spirit has been getting better and better. Now she eats well and sleeps well. In just one month, she has gained more than 20 pounds. From being skinny when she first came home, she has become healthy and has a rosy complexion.
Everything is moving in a good direction and all the haze will eventually be swept away.
At this moment, Sun Yuegui also ran down from upstairs. Seeing the excited smile on her face, Xia Shige asked curiously, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? What are you so happy about?"
"It's Zi Yan! Zi Yan is coming!" Sun Yuegui said excitedly, "Their car is almost at the gate of the community! I want to pick him up!"
In the past few years, Xia Ziyan followed the army to various places to provide disaster relief, transport food, and quell unrest. Now that the domestic situation has gradually stabilized, he has finally waited for a vacation and can go home to visit his relatives.
Xia Shige's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Great! Let's go pick him up together!"
…
Xia Shige, Xia Jianing and Sun Yuegui walked side by side in the community. The warm sunlight shining on their bodies made them feel warm all over.
The community is filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Some parents bring their children to hang handmade lanterns in the square. In a few days, it will be 2028. Everyone prays, hoping that in the new year, this land will have good weather, peace and prosperity.
Xia Shige and the other two walked to the gate of the community, waiting for Xia Ziyan while watching the people coming in and out of the gate.
Many disaster victims walked out of the community carrying large and small bags. Over the past few months, the flood water has gradually receded, and they are about to return home. Many business owners came out to see them off:
"Just send it here! Thank you for taking care of us over the past few months. Thank you for taking us in!"
"No, I should be the one thanking you. It's all thanks to you for accompanying me these past few months. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to hold on alone..."
“…”
"Brother, sister, we have a large family and have caused you trouble in the past few months. Thank you for your tolerance! When the autumn harvest comes next year, we will send you fresh fruits and food!"
"Oh, don't say that. It was a little unpleasant at the beginning, but it's over now. Now that you're gone, we're still not used to it!"
“…”
"Sister, brother-in-law, I wish you a safe journey. When you get home, remember to call us and let us know!"
"Of course! Big sister, when our house is ready, you can also bring your parents and children to live in our house for a while! We will definitely treat you well!"
“…”
People were coming and going at the entrance of the community. They had helped each other to survive the natural disaster, but now they were saying goodbye to each other and rushing towards a new life. Looking at this scene, Xia Jianing suddenly said, "How about... I'll move in a few days..."
Sun Yuegui was puzzled when she heard this, and asked her concernedly: "Why did you neglect your home for no reason? You are the only one left in your home, and we are worried about you living alone..."
Xia Jianing lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, and said nothing. She was so distant from her grandmother's family before, and she would feel embarrassed if she lived in her grandmother's house forever...
Xia Shige noticed Xia Jianing's dilemma, patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Since you are working in the back mountain now, just stay at home for now... It's just right for us to go to Anyuan Mountain together after a while!"
I don’t know what Anyuan Mountain looks like now after experiencing mudslides and floods.
At this moment, a military vehicle drove over and stopped at the gate of the community. Under the expectant gaze of Xia Shige and the other two, Xia Ziyan got out of the car carrying two bags.
The moment she saw her son, Sun Yuegui was so excited that she almost cried. She took two steps forward, patted Xia Ziyan's arm, and said in a tearful voice: "You child!... How come you have lost so much weight!... Fortunately, you didn't lose any limbs..."
Xia Ziyan scratched his head upon hearing this and replied with a smile: "It's better to be thinner. Then you can feed me fatter. It will be such a great sense of accomplishment! Don't forget that you were a well-known pig farmer in the village!"
Sun Yuegui burst into laughter upon hearing this and punched him in anger: "You kid! You never forget to talk nonsense!"
Looking at the happy scene in front of him, Xia Shige said with a smile: "Okay, let's go home first!"
"Okay! The Xi family!"
