Chapter 567 Meeting an old friend
After several inspections, the car drove to the courtyard of the old family.
The old house was renovated and now looks brand new. The yard is full of various vegetables, which are still lush and green in this season.
"Aunt......."
"Mom......."
Seeing Zhou Huiying coming to greet them, Xia Qingliu and Luo Ya immediately came forward and shouted, and several children also jumped over and surrounded her and shouted "Grandma".
Zhou Huiying agreed to look at this and touch that, her eyes full of love, and then pointed to the candy on the table in the house and told them to take it and eat it quickly.
After the children entered the house, Zhou Huiying came to greet everyone. During the conversation, she asked Xia Qingxi why her mother didn't come back.
"My mother doesn't dare to take a plane. If she takes a train, she won't be able to catch Xiaoman's wedding in time, so she didn't come back this time." Xia Qingxi explained.
As they were talking, a gentle female voice came from behind:
"Third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, you are back."
Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya turned around and saw Su Man and Su Wan coming over. Su Man was less innocent and more calm.
Su Wan, who was standing next to Su Man, looked taller than her and had a beautiful and spiritual appearance.
In the past, Su Wan was always warm and generous to his sisters-in-law, Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya . But this time, for some reason, he felt a little embarrassed when he approached them.
"Hello, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law." Su Wan greeted Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya.
After his eyes met Xia Qingcao, who was carrying things behind the two of them, he wanted to move away, but seeing that he was carrying so many things, he didn't seem to think much about it, so he walked over and raised his hand to help him.
"It's okay, I can carry it." Xia Qingcao didn't give her the things, but carried them herself and walked into the house.
But Su Wan ignored him, raised her hand to take some, helped him share, and the two of them carried them into the house together.
Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya, who knew their secret, watched with a smile, and didn't expose them.
Xia Qingxi stepped forward, took Su Man's hand and said sincerely:
"Congratulations, Xiao Man, you have found your own happiness."
When Xia Qingxi heard the news that Su Man was going to get married, she was really surprised and delighted. At the same time, she also had a lot of feelings in her heart. Now, one of the children of the Su family has finally changed her fate.
"Thank you." Su Man blushed slightly and said thank you softly.
Looking at the happiness and shyness on Su Man's face, Xia Qingxi knew that she was not hastily marrying someone just to deal with the worries of her family, but because she really found someone she liked.
"Qingxi, Xiao Ya must have worked hard on the road. Come into the house and drink some sugar water first." Zhou Huiying, who was standing behind her, reminded her.
Then the group walked into the house. The eldest sister-in-law Shi Yamin came out with two bowls of fermented glutinous rice and egg sweet soup. Seeing Xia Qingxiong and Luo Ya, she greeted them happily.
When the little guys saw someone carrying bowls out of the kitchen, they immediately lined up and walked into the kitchen to help the adults carry the bowls out. They
drank the sweet soup in a very proper manner. After drinking it, they put the bowls in the kitchen by themselves.
"Seeing Su Luo and Lu En is like seeing the third and fourth brothers." Su Man couldn't help but say.
"That's right." Zhou Huiying also nodded in agreement.
When they mentioned Su Xiangnan again, everyone had a faint smile on their faces, not as sad as before, as if he really had not left them, but had gone to carry out a mission like Lu Jingchen.
"And they are all very sensible." Zhou Huiying looked at Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya with praise in her eyes:
"Xiao Ya, Qingxi, you have educated them very well!"
Zhou Huiying had just finished praising when she heard Lu En and Su Luo arguing beside them. The reason was that they saw the photos on the wall. Su Luo spoke first:
"I think my father is more handsome than your father."
"What do you mean by that look?" Lu En obviously disagreed with his point of view and immediately retorted:
"Obviously my father is more handsome."
"Your father looks a little fierce." Su Luo looked at the photos on the wall:
"My father always smiles, and he looks very kind. Don't you also dislike fierce people?"
"That's called deep. Do you know what deep means?" Lu En retorted, and then continued:
"Also, we are talking about looks, not the impression they give."
Su Luo, who was obviously at a disadvantage, suddenly pulled his sister Luo Su over and said,
"Luo Su, you are a girl, you come to judge, is his father good-looking or our father good-looking?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "our", obviously hinting that Luo Su should stand on his side, after all, they have the same father.
Lu En couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, it seems that he has used this trick more than once.
"Come on, come on, do you also think that our father is more handsome?" Su Luo couldn't help but urge.
Luo Su thought for a while and answered seriously,
"I think Fourth Uncle looks very majestic, and Dad looks very gentle, both of them look very handsome."
After hearing her words, the adults all laughed unconsciously. This child has a high emotional intelligence and no one can offend him.
Su Luo was obviously not satisfied with her sister's answer, and asked:
"What if you can only choose one?"
"Are you childish?" Lu En was like a little adult, and his "disdain" for Su Luo was just like Lu Jingchan's for Su Xiangnan.
"I'm only six years old! So what if I'm childish? Aren't you childish too?" Su Luo began to protest:
"The school we are attending now is called kindergarten. If you have the ability, don't go."
Listening to the two little ones arguing, Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya had no intention of going up to judge, and it was obvious that they were already used to it.
In the past, I heard Lu Jingchen and Su Xiangnan quarreling, and now I heard the two young guys quarreling. Although time has been moving forward, at a certain moment, they overlapped again.
It makes everyone feel that those people and those days have never gone far.

In the evening, Xia Qingxi and Luo Ya returned to the small courtyard where they lived before. The small courtyard was very clean. Except for the renovation, the furnishings in the house were no different from when they left.
Normally, when Xia Qingshu was not at work, he would come to take care of the yard and cook in the house. Whenever he came, Xia Guyu would also come over to eat. The two of them added a lot of liveliness to the yard.
So even though Xia Qingxi and the others had not been back for so long, they did not feel that the house was a bit strange or dilapidated.
At night, after settling the children, Xia Qingxi, Luoya and Xia Guyu squeezed into a bed and chatted intimately like they did many years ago.
Xia Qingxi and Luoya tacitly did not ask about Xia Guyu and Xia Qingshu's current situation.
They knew that the two were very sensible people. Since they did not have a formal partner yet, it meant that the time had not come yet.

The day when Su Man got married was particularly lively. The Su family had not held a wedding for many years, and everyone who could come back to attend the wedding came back.
Because the groom is also a soldier, many comrades-in-arms came to participate. The family courtyard was decorated with lights and it was very lively.
Su Man wore the bride's red wedding dress and stood with the groom. They were a perfect match.
When the two toasted to Commander Liu, Commander Liu said his blessings. The eyes of the iron-willed and weathered old man suddenly became sour.
If Liu Xiaofeng had not sacrificed, it might be him who sat in his father's seat today.
But there are no ifs in this world. The dead will be remembered, and the living will move forward and watch this peaceful and prosperous world they created for them.
What Xia Qingqing didn't expect was that she unexpectedly met an old friend at the wedding banquet.
