The warm and sweet voice of the baby made people's ears sweet. Several adults stood by happily, watching the little one teaching the cat and the dog like a little adult.
When the two furry cats were drooping their ears, Nuannuan remembered that her father and grandfather were still there, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"Hahaha...our Nuannuan is really amazing."
Nuannuan's shy look made Mr. Gu unable to help but burst out laughing.
Nuannuan hugged Meiqiu and buried her whole face in his fur. Meiqiu had just taken a bath yesterday, and his fur had a sweet scent.
"Nuan Nuan, are you going to play?"
Gu's father asked jokingly. "Yes."
The little guy raised his little face and spoke in a crisp voice. He walked with his short legs to his father and grandfather, put down the coal balls, and continued to stroll with them holding hands.
The cat and the dog were originally very alert in this strange environment. But when they saw Nuan Nuan, they gradually let down their guard and began to run around sniffing here and there to mark their territory.
Dahuang ran around excitedly, wagging his tail and barking happily from time to time, while Meiqiu was more reserved and quiet. It basically jumped lightly onto the wall or tree, looking down at the stupid dog jumping around with a look of contempt.
"Nuannuan, this is a garden. How about Grandpa build a swing for you there?"
Nuannuan blinked her eyes and thought of the children in the village who, when playing in the forest, liked to go to the thick vines beside the waxberry tree. They said that was a swing and they would stand on it and swing in the air. It looked a little dangerous but also very fun.
At that time, she was busy collecting firewood and grass for the chickens and ducks at home, so she just looked at him enviously from a distance and left.
"OK."
Nuannuan nodded and responded softly, her clear eyes full of smiles.
Hearing her agreement, all the adults in the family were delighted. They took her hand and started planning the garden with great interest, putting a slide there, a small wooden horse or a sand pit there, all of which were things that children would like, as if they were going to transform the garden into a playground.
Nuan Nuan waved her hands quickly - "No, no, just a swing will do."
As she spoke, she raised a short finger and said hesitantly to her father and grandfather, "Can... can I?"
Father Gu took a deep breath and rubbed the warm and furry little head.
"Nuannuan, you don't have to be so cautious. You are our Gu family's treasure. You can tell your parents or grandpa anytime you want. We will never complain if you ask for too much."
He actually knew why Nuan Nuan was so cautious. But it was precisely because of this that he felt sad, because this child should have grown up in their home without worries.
Nuannuan tilted her little face up, holding her father's big hands with her little hands. Her eyebrows were curved like the most beautiful crescent moons in the world, and her clear and bright eyes were shining with dazzling stars.
"But Nuannuan already feels very satisfied."
She said softly, and rubbed her furry head against her father's palm.
"Nuannuan is already very happy. I have a dad, a mom, a grandpa, and brothers. I am already very, very happy."
This was something she had never dared to imagine before.
Mother Gu came over and touched her little head with red eyes. How could her Nuannuan be so obedient?
"Okay, Nuannuan, you must be happy in the future too."
Nuannuan nodded, and smiled with her soft little mouth, revealing her neat and white little teeth, like a little sunflower that could touch people's hearts.
Old Man Gu secretly wiped his eyes while watching this scene. He had become more sentimental as he got older.
It’s great that their lost daughter is back. The haze that has been weighing on the family for years has finally dissipated.
Before finding Nuan Nuan, everyone continued to live their lives as usual, as if they were no different from other people. However, only they themselves knew how much of a blow Nuan Nuan's disappearance had caused to their family, and it took three years to make up for it.
"Grandpa, let's go play."
At this time, a warm and soft voice came and brought the old man back to his senses. The young man looked at him with a smile in his clear eyes, walked in front and turned back to call him to walk together.
“Hey… here it comes!”
The old man suddenly walked with great energy, as if he had suddenly become several years younger.
This activity not only helps digestion but also exercises the body and allows Nuannuan to get familiar with the home environment. Most importantly, it promotes the relationship between Nuannuan and everyone. This activity is simply the best.
Unfortunately, there is a lazy person in the family, and he probably won’t get up until lunch time.
When we were going back, someone came to the villa. The first person to get out of the car was a man who looked very similar to Gu's father.
As soon as he got off the car, he hurriedly asked, "Dad, I heard that Nuannuan was found?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the skinny little girl next to Mr. Gu, and his eyes turned red as soon as he saw her.
"Why are you so thin? You must have suffered so much!"
A cheerful woman who was following closely behind also hurried over, walked up to Nuannuan and touched her little face lovingly.
"When she was little, Nuan Nuan was chubby and cute, how come she has become so thin now?"
Nuannuan held her grandfather's hand tightly, looking at the two strangers with some curiosity and timidity, but she didn't feel scared.
She is very sensitive to people's emotions. These two people really care about her and have no ill intentions at all.
So she didn't hide. "Don't scare Nuannuan."
Mr. Gu scolded them, and then introduced them to Nuannuan: "Nuannuan, this is your uncle, and this is your aunt."
"Uncle, hello auntie——"
Nuannuan called out in a gentle and soft voice, and the two uncles and aunts who had no daughters were very fond of her.
"Ah... Nuannuan is so good. This is a gift that Auntie prepared for you."
As she said this, she took out a safety lock and put it around Nuannuan's neck.
"This is a safety lock, it blesses Nuannuan to be safe and sound in the future. When you were little, your uncle and I held you in our arms. Unfortunately, Nuannuan was the only little girl in our family. At that time, your uncle, your grandfather, your father, and your brothers had to fight for you. It took a long time for him to hold you, and once he held you, he was reluctant to let go. You were so small and soft, and now you have grown so big."
Speaking of Nuannuan's childhood, everyone couldn't help but reminisce about her. The Gu family had many males. Gu's mother gave birth to three, all of whom were boys. Her uncle's family also had two children, all of whom were boys. It was only with Nuannuan that they finally had a girl. Aren't they all very precious?
