Chapter 94 Chapter 94 When she first heard it, she thought...
Su Guanzhang walked quickly, but very steadily on the rugged mountain path. Sister Lan giggled happily in his arms.
Xuan Jinyu leaned her head on Su Guanzhang's shoulder, looking at her daughter's little face closely and listening to her laughter. The fatigue between her brows and eyes disappeared unconsciously.
The baby's sweet laughter reached the side of the carriage, and Old Madam Su was startled.
Xu Yu Niang subconsciously took two steps forward, then thought of Old Madam Su and hurriedly turned back, "Mother, I think I heard their voices."
The secret guard had just reported to them that Su Guanzhang and his family of three had left the mountain, so they walked to the end of the mountain path to wait for them.
Madam Su nodded hurriedly, her hands trembling with excitement. "It must be them."
She wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "That child, is it Sister Lan?"
The wiping just now was of no use. The tears in Mrs. Su's eyes could not help but roll down, and her voice was choked with sobs.
Xu Yu Niang's eyes also turned red. "That should be it."
Of course it is!
Just as he was thinking about it, familiar figures of secret guards appeared at the corner of the mountain path, and then they all retreated to the mountain walls on both sides.
Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang seemed to sense something and stared at the other end closely.
Soon, the figure they had been thinking about day and night appeared before them.
No, not one.
But three.
Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang stared in amazement as Su Guanzhang walked towards them quickly, carrying one child on his back and holding another in his arms.
They didn't know how to react and just stood there in a daze, looking at Su Guanzhang for a while, then at Xuan Jinyu on his back, and finally their eyes fixed on the little baby who was smiling sweetly.
That is...
Sister Lan.
Su Guanzhang had already walked to his grandmother and mother and put Xuan Jinyu down. "Grandma, Mother," he called out in a low voice with slightly red eyes.
I wanted to say they were back, but they were still in Huaizhao County. I wanted to say they were out, but that seemed a bit strange, so I just said nothing.
Xuan Jinyu also walked to Su Guanzhang's side, "Grandma, Mother." She followed and called out, and like the two ladies, tears flowed like a fountain.
"Hey, hey!" Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niangqiang responded repeatedly. Finally, they couldn't help it and no longer cared about anything else. They hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The voices were mixed with joy and sorrow, but mostly filled with relief. Those who knew the story and those who didn't, all said it was a long-awaited reunion of a family after nearly being separated by death.
On the mountainside, the old woman leaned against the ajar gate, covered her face, and began to cry silently.
The old man was somewhat helpless. "It's okay for others to cry, but why are you crying?"
"What do you know?" the old woman cried and cursed, "It's been almost a year, and look, they finally found the person. How touching!"
They lived on the mountainside, watching those people come and go almost every day, without slacking off. They had kindly advised them many times, but they always said that no one who fell into the cliff would survive and would not come out.
But they didn't give up, and it made them sad to see that.
Because of this, when the people of Huaizhao County united to boycott the people in the house, the couple was unwilling to join - they felt guilty about it.
Now, the person who fell in actually came out alive, with a little baby in tow.
If this isn’t divine grace from heaven, what is?
"It must be a god who has come down to earth." The old woman finally said, wiping away her tears.
The old man seemed to be moved by what she said and leaned against the wall. "Yes, yes, you are right."
This attitude and these words don't seem like he's been persuaded.
The guards hiding in the dark took another look at the old couple.
Seeing each other every day, they are old acquaintances, and the guards all have a general idea of the personalities of this old couple.
The old man seemed to be afraid that the old woman would scold him again, so he pretended to be persuaded.
But it seems they guessed wrong.
As they walked down the mountain path, the guards, who had extraordinary hearing, heard the old man mutter before closing the door: "Could it be that a god has really descended to earth?"
Half a minute later, the four people huddled together had not yet separated, and their crying was gradually getting louder.
On weekdays, Sister Lan could only see her father and mother at the bottom of the cliff. But when she came out today, she saw many strangers, which made her feel surprised.
Seeing two unfamiliar people hugging her father and mother, she tilted her head and screamed "Wow!"
Although her father was still holding her, he had ignored her for a while, and Sister Lan was a little unhappy.
The childish voice finally attracted the attention of several generations of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who were crying and hugging each other. They raised their heads, their eyes blurred with tears.
Su Guanzhang wiped his eyes, then remembered that he hadn't yet introduced his daughter to Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang, and had just burst into tears. "Grandma, Mother, this is Sister Lan." His voice was still slightly hoarse.
"Sister Lan." Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang hurriedly wiped their tears and wanted to smile at the child, but their eyes were red from crying, and the forced smile did not look very pretty.
Lan Jie'er held Su Guanzhang's arm tightly with her little hand and screamed "Ah" at them fiercely.
Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang did not feel offended by their great-granddaughter/granddaughter at all. They felt their hearts melt and they laughed sincerely this time.
"Good boy," they said.
Xuan Jinyu was held by Su Guanzhang's waist. Tears were still on her face, but she had a bright smile on her face. "Grandma, Mother, do you want to hug her?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly responded, "Yes."
Madam Su had already reached out her hand, but then she put it down. She had been so excited that her heartbeat was much faster than usual, and she was worried about dropping the child.
"Yuniang, come here!" Old Lady Su was talking to Xu Yuniang, but her eyes were fixed on Sister Lan.
Xu Yu Niang said "Hey" and quickly stretched out her hand to Lan Jie'er, "Lan Jie'er, I am your grandmother. Come, let grandma hug you?" she asked softly.
Lan Jie'er stared at her for a long time, recognized her as the person who had just hugged her mother, and turned to look at Su Guanzhang.
Su Guanzhang patted her head and handed her towards Xu Yu Niang, "Sister Lan, this is your grandmother. Give her a hug, okay?"
This sound...
Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang could no longer suppress their excitement. He gave them goose bumps and they almost fainted.
Su Guanzhang: “…”
Xuan Jinyu burst out laughing.
She had gotten used to Su Guanzhang's changing voice over the past few months, but her grandmother and mother-in-law still had the impression of him ten months ago, thinking that their grandson/son still had the same cold accent.
When I first heard his voice which had become clear and gentle, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Yes, when she first heard him, she thought he was deliberately pinching his throat to speak, and it took her a few days to get used to it.
She smiled, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
Xuan Jinyu just smiled and said, "Grandma, Mother, his personality has changed a lot since Sister Lan was born."
She only blamed Lan Jie'er for Su Guanzhang's change, and didn't mention herself. It wasn't that they had any concerns; the Su family just wanted the couple to be well.
But after returning to Shengjing City, others will eventually find out the reason. They can't let outsiders know about their relationship, right?
If people knew that they had been married for more than four years and only opened up to each other the day before their child was born, wouldn't that just make people laugh?
It would be much more reasonable to put the blame on the child, and it would not attract attention.
After all, the couple had been trapped at the bottom of the cliff for nearly a year, and had to do everything by themselves to take care of the children.
In this way, it is easy for everyone to accept that the cold and taciturn Su Guanzhang was gradually softened by the little and soft child in the process of taking care of the child.
Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's eyes.
It seems that the young couple did not gain nothing from falling off the cliff.
At least after just a short while of meeting each other, they could already tell that the relationship between the young couple was not only harmonious but also much sweeter, and they had a tacit understanding that no one else could interfere with.
When Lan Jie'er saw her mother laughing, she also giggled, which made Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang feel itchy.
Xu Yu Niang kept her hands outstretched. Seeing her granddaughter smiling so sweetly, her voice couldn't help but become softer, "Sister Lan, give grandma a hug, okay?" She imitated what Su Guanzhang had said just now.
Xuan Jinyu also touched Lan Jie'er's head and said, "Good sister Lan, give grandma a hug."
Sister Lan looked back at her mother, then turned her head and leaned her little body towards Xu Yu Niang's hands.
Su Guanzhang handed over his hand, Xu Yu Niang extended her hand, and the mother and son completed the handover of the child in a very tacit understanding.
"Sister Lan, grandma finally sees you." Xu Yuniang sighed contentedly, weighed Sister Lan's small body, and looked at Xuan Jinyu in surprise, "This child is really well raised."
It's strange that my hands are heavy.
Although Su Guanzhang would send Lan Jie'er's small portrait to the house every month, they could also guess how much Lan Jie'er had grown up from the changes in the child in the portrait.
But imagination can never compare to seeing it with your own eyes and feeling it with your own hands. The touch that comes from the heart can never be replaced.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Yu Niang said to Xuan Jinyu.
Xuan Jinyu's pale face, originally caused by lack of sleep, suddenly turned red. It was neither right nor wrong.
After all, they all knew that Sister Lan had grown up relying on her breast milk.
Su Guanzhang looked down at her, smiled, and said to his mother, "Sister Lan has been eating well recently. She likes minced meat and minced fish the most."
It was a disguised way of helping Xuan Jinyu out of trouble.
There were many people around, so Xu Yu Niang didn't say anything. She just happily held her granddaughter's hand.
"You need to eat more. When the baby grows a little bigger, around ten months old, he won't need to be mashed into a paste anymore. He can just eat minced meat, soft rice, etc., and he will grow faster." Xu Yu Niang said, continuing what Su Guanzhang said.
Xuan Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to discuss her milk problem in front of so many people.
Fortunately, Su Guanzhang and Xu Yu Niang reacted quickly.
The sun gradually grew higher. Su Guanzhang held Xuan Jinyu's waist with one hand and stretched out his other hand to support Old Madam Su.
"It's getting late, let's go back to the house first!" he said.
Even when Su Sheng was around, he would usually listen to his youngest son, not to mention Old Madam Su and Xu Yu Niang. This time, she insisted on not listening to his letter and came here to pick him up, which was rare.
As soon as he spoke, the two nodded.
Across Su Guanzhang, Madam Su held Xuan Jinyu's hand and smiled lovingly, "Good child, did you not get enough rest last night? Grandmother saw that you looked a little unwell."
She wanted to say something when she saw Su Guanzhang carrying someone over just now, but when she saw her getting off the ground as usual, she knew that she might just be tired.
They had been talking for quite a while, but Xuan Jinyu's face only showed a little color when she was embarrassed just now, and she had been pale ever since. Mrs. Su couldn't help but ask.
