In just one year, she missed out on a lot.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, when did you get married?" Qiu Dayu stared at the baby in his sister-in-law's arms, admiring it no matter how he looked at it. At the same time, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"After you left," Qiu Dafu then carefully examined his fifth brother to see if he had any new injuries.
After hearing this, Xia Minhan also glanced in the direction of the child. He wondered if his older sister was married yet.
Qiu Yan stared intently at the child and immediately thought that he looked a lot like her second uncle.
At the end of the year, she welcomed a new cousin, a piece of exciting news.
"The baby just turned one month old last month," Jiang Liu said with a smile, handing the baby to the wet nurse before returning to the kitchen.
At this time, Cao Shi, Zhu Juan, and Cui Zhu had already begun to get busy.
After the meal,
Qiu Ling'er and Qiu Xu stayed around Qiu Yan for a long time without leaving.
"Sister, why are you only coming back now? Ling'er and brother missed you so much."
Qiu Ling'er clung tightly to her sister, "Sister, tell Ling'er, where have you been this past year? How did you end up coming back with Uncle?"
Qiu Xu also stared intently at his sister, just as curious as Qiu Ling'er.
“Xiaoyan and I met on the outskirts of Qidu in Northern Qi a couple of months ago. At the time, I found it strange that this child looked so much like Xiaoran. Later I found out that it was him…”
Outside the door, Qiu Dayu was talking non-stop, recounting the entire process of how he met Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan smiled as she looked outside.
"If you want to hear a story, isn't your uncle telling it with great enthusiasm?"
Qiu Ling'er listened quietly to Qiu Dayu's words, resting her head on Qiu Yan's shoulder.
"Sister, can you tell Ling'er in advance where you're going? Ling'er and brother will worry."
"Yes, it's my fault, sister." Qiu Yan felt a little guilty, thinking about how she had left in such a hurry at the beginning of the year.
She instinctively hugged her younger sister's small body, then looked at Qiu Xu.
"Ah Xu, are you unhappy to see your sister? Why do you have such a long face?"
"Happy, Ah Xu is happy." Qiu Xu gave a slight smile. Of course he was happy, but...
"I'll go check on my senior brother."
After saying this, he left the house and went to the neighboring courtyard.
At the Li family home, Ye Qiuyun held Gu Xiaoran tightly in her arms, murmuring repeatedly, "Shu'er, Shu'er..."
Gu Xiaoran felt extremely uncomfortable being hugged by his grandmother and tried to break free, but she only held him tighter.
He corrected him:
“Madam, it’s me, Yu’er.” He knew that the madam must be missing her daughter.
"Shu'er, Yu'er is back." Madam Ye gently rocked Gu Xiaoran in her arms, as if he were just a baby in swaddling clothes.
"Shu'er, Shu'er..."
It was impossible for Li Wenhan and Li Wenqing not to be jealous when they saw Ye Shi only hugging Gu Xiaoran and ignoring them.
The two of them worked together and began to desperately pull on Gu Xiaoran's body.
"Get away from me, get away from me, this is our mother."
"Mother, don't hug him..."
They felt that Gu Xiaoran had stolen their mother, and they kept pushing Gu Xiaoran away.
"Get away, get away now..."
"Our mother, our mother..."
In another room,
Gu Qian, who had just finished dinner, was sitting opposite Li Zheng.
Li Zheng couldn't control his suppressed emotions; he had so much to say, but he didn't know how to express it.
"Qian'er," he said softly after a moment of silence, "now that you're back, don't leave again."
