Wang Xiaolan gazed at her brothers and sisters, feeling an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart. In just one year, they had undergone such tremendous changes, which made her sigh at the passage of time and the impermanence of life.
Especially the two younger sisters, who used to be innocent village girls with pigtails, but now they have grown into beautiful and graceful girls, like blooming flowers.
Wang Xiaolan couldn't help but recall the time when she went to the countryside, and together with her two sisters-in-law, she and her stepmother-in-law Huang Jinhua, fought bravely and deviously for food...
Wang Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, Zhaodi and Laidi have grown up.
In particular, Lai Di's immature and youthful face has quietly faded away, and now she has become a mature, steady, knowledgeable and experienced intellectual woman.
At this moment, Wang Xiaolan found that she looked more and more like her brother Zhao Lihan. Fortunately, both siblings had inherited her mother-in-law's good looks.
Zhaodi and Laidi look nothing like their scumbag father, Zhao Sihai. Zhaodi looks like a flower covered in dew in the morning, fresh and elegant, radiating endless youthful vitality and charm.
Yet, despite this dramatic change in appearance, Zhaodi's personality remained unchanged. She remained impulsive, decisive, and uncompromising. She was also straightforward in her interactions, never concealing her inner thoughts and feelings. She was truly a straightforward girl, and Wang Xiaolan was deeply fond of her.
Her gaze shifted to Lai Di, who stood nearby. She stood there shyly, watching Wang Xiaolan smile endlessly. She was fifteen now, still as gentle, lovely, and reserved as ever. She never argued with anyone, and whenever she was bullied by her stepmother, Huang Jinhua, it was Zhao Di who stood up and fought back.
She set her eyes on Xia Wei. The boy had grown taller. He was now 1.9 meters tall, like a giant, and exuded masculinity.
From his eyes, one no longer saw the melancholy and silence he had in Xiangshui Village. It seemed that he had completely let go of the matter of his illegitimate child and had completely walked out of that shadow.
Wang Xiaolan muttered to herself, even though he and she weren't related by blood, they had lived under the same roof. His mother, she truly possessed all the flaws of a stepmother! She was as vicious as she could be. Every time she tried to harm Wang Xiaolan, Xia Wei would be the first to report it as soon as he knew about it. Hey, this kid has been sensible since he was young. He's truly a man who "gives birth to good things from bad things"!
Even though they lived in the same city, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Xia Wei had only visited Wang Xiaolan's home once, when he was about to register, and hadn't been there since. Wang Xiaolan often missed him, but she was so busy with her studies and work that she couldn't take care of her two children, and naturally, he, too.
Wang Xiaolan raised her hand to pat Xia Wei's shoulder, but he was too tall, so she could only pat his arm and said, "Xia Wei, you know your sister-in-law's home, and you haven't come to see her for such a long time."
Xia Wei said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I really want to come see you, but the coach is too strict and doesn't allow us to go out. A player on our team went out to see his girlfriend without asking for leave, and the coach found out and kicked him out."
Wang Xiaolan smiled and nodded when she heard him say that. "Sister-in-law, I understand. You've finally made it through this, so you naturally know how rare this opportunity is. Okay, I wasn't wrong about you back then. Work harder and strive to achieve good results!"
Zhaodi said, "Sister-in-law, besides accompanying Xia Wei, we came to Kyoto because we missed you, our two little nephews, and my aunt's family."
The family walked to the dining room and sat down to eat while talking.
While eating, Dabao picked up some food for Yu Wenlin and Zeng Qiang and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, eat some food."
Xiaobao also followed his brother's example and used his own spoon to scoop soup into his grandparents' bowls.
This made them both very happy. They were grinning so hard that their mouths almost stretched to their ears. They couldn't close their mouths and kept muttering, "Oh my, these two little darlings of ours, they really deserve our love! Look, they even know how to pick up food for us old couple!"
Dabao was so happy when he heard his grandparents' praise for him and his brother. He smiled brightly and quickly picked up his chopsticks, carefully picking up dishes for Zhaodi, Laidi, and Xiawei.
He said seriously, "Aunt, aunt, uncle, the food you cook is delicious. I haven't eaten food like this in a long time."
While eating, Zhaodi said, "If it tastes good, eat more."
Dabao nodded, with a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and said incoherently: "I, I want to eat as much as the sky..."
Yu Wenlin, who was sitting next to him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly after hearing this, revealing a slightly playful smile. He said jokingly, "Oh, from what you said, do you think that grandma's cooking is not to your taste?"
Upon hearing this, Dabao blinked his big round eyes, tilted his head slightly, looked straight at Yu Wenlin, and replied in a baby voice, "No way! Grandma's cooking is so delicious! Otherwise, how could I have gotten so fat? Even Xiaobao's little face has almost no room for growth! Doesn't this just prove how good Grandma's cooking is!"
After saying that, he stretched out his chubby little hand and touched his round belly, looking very satisfied.
After hearing what Dabao said, Xiaobao said, "The food cooked by my aunt and my younger aunt is delicious." He paused, swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "I, I also like the food cooked by my grandma."
Yu Wenlin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, and said jokingly, "Hey, look at you two little brats, you've been praising the food made by your aunt and me, but why don't you praise your mother's cooking? Be careful, if your mother hears, she will be jealous and angry! Maybe then, she won't even buy you your favorite snacks! Hahahaha..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing, with a sly gleam in her eyes.
Dabao stared with his big round eyes and listened carefully to what his grandmother said. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and stood up from the chair he was sitting on like a little monkey.
