Duoduo is back?
Ah Chen jumped up and ran out in a flash!
Sure enough, on the way up the mountain, more than a dozen fine horses were galloping toward the summit.
"Brother---"
"Brother--"
Duoduo's voice could be heard from afar, but it was drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves. However, the little girl waved her hand and continued to call out:
"Brother--"
Ah Chen smiled!
Soon, A'duo arrived at the entrance under the protection of more than a dozen Miao girls and boys.
"Brother."
A'duo jumped off the horse, and A'chen hurriedly jumped down as well.
Afterwards, A'duo threw herself into A'chen's arms, hugged his waist, and sobbed, "Brother, I missed you so much, I missed you so much."
"Brother--"
A'duo has never been separated from her brother for so long.
Even if her brother went out on business, she didn't think much of it because he had things to do.
But this time was different. Although it was only a little over twenty days, it felt like a very long time to Ado.
She just missed her brother, her brother---
Ah Chen gently stroked Duo Duo's hair. He had been worried about his younger sister all along, and now that she was back, he was overjoyed!
But his sister's sobs made his breath catch in his throat.
The aunties and girls in the courtyard watched this scene, and they could all feel how deep the affection between the brother and sister was.
"Brother, why are you so tanned again?"
Duoduo let go of Achen, wiped away her tears haphazardly, looked up at Achen whose skin had become even darker from the sun, and asked.
Ah Chen laughed and said, "It's you who's gotten fairer, not the brother who's gotten darker."
"No, Ahei is just darker than before."
Duoduo muttered to herself!
The young men and women of the Purple Miao tribe on horseback immediately dismounted and paid their respects to Achen as the King of Miao.
Achen nodded, and Aduo turned to the Zimiao people and said, "Brother and sister, you should go back tomorrow, it will get dark soon."
"No need, Ado. We'll escort you home and then we have to head back."
One of the Zi Miao boys stepped forward and said to A Chen, "A Chen, we'll come back to pick up Duo Duo in the winter!"
"good!"
"Then we're leaving!"
"Be careful on the road."
The purple seedlings came quickly and went quickly.
The aunties and girls greeted Duoduo, and Duoduo responded to them one by one. But when she saw Amo dressed in plain Miao clothing, she was stunned for a moment, and then ran up to her.
"Holy Maiden Sister-in-law, should I start calling you Sister-in-law from now on?"
Although Duoduo didn't know why she had to change her address, she knew that after an engagement, when the older sisters changed into Miao clothing, hairstyles, and so on, the family members would have to change how they addressed each other.
"yes!"
Amo nodded. Duoduo, unaware of certain details, immediately looked at Amo's belly again and again, and asked, "When will my brother's son or daughter be born?"
*Pfft*
The now "sensible" A-mei laughed, and the aunties quickly echoed her.
"Yes, Holy Maiden, when will Little Achen and Little Amo come out?"
"Auntie, I'm thinking there are probably still about ten months left."
"Duoduo, we still can't tell whether your sister-in-law is carrying a boy or a girl."
…
The aunties bombarded Amo with questions, making her blush deeply.
As soon as Ah Chen stepped onto the courtyard, he looked embarrassed, just like the other brothers and uncles.
Arui hurriedly ran up and whispered a few words in Duoduo's ear. Duoduo was stunned at first, but then immediately ran away.
The young woman was both shy and eager to see her chickens, ducks, and geese.
As soon as Duoduo ran off, the auntie laughed again and immediately turned her gaze to Achen.
Startled, Ah Chen quickly made his escape.
In the evening, Ado and Arui chatted while cooking.
The two sisters were chatting and laughing.
While tidying up in the main room, Ah Chen whispered to Ah Mo, "Can you tell the changes in Duo Duo in that area?"
"Duoduo is only twelve years old and has only been exposed to introductory secret techniques. However, Duoduo is very talented. I can already sense the aura of the profound secret techniques of Zi Miao in her."
"Amo, do you mean that Zimiao is really grooming Duoduo as her successor?"
"It can't be wrong!"
"As long as Zi Miao doesn't have bad intentions, I won't interfere; otherwise—"
Although Ah Chen didn't finish speaking, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Amo said, "Don't worry, it's fine! Zimiao's cultivation of Duoduo has exceeded my expectations. I'll tell her about the grass ghost."
"That's good."
Soon after dinner, Ah Chen and Ah Mo went upstairs to pack their things when Ah Duo followed them up.
"Brother, are we going to the provincial capital tomorrow?"
Ah Chen turned around and nodded.
Duoduo then asked, "If you go this time, will you only be able to come back during the holidays?"
"Yes! So after you finish what you're doing, pack away some of your personal clothing. When you get to the provincial capital, your sister-in-law will take you shopping!"
"Oh, by the way, don't bring the Miao clothes! You basically can't wear them outside."
A'duo nodded. She knew that A'duo was going away to study, so even though she was reluctant to leave the Miao village, she had to go.
Only by learning the knowledge that the elder brother taught can we help him with more things in the future.
But she still asked in the end, "What about my chickens, ducks, and geese?"
*Pfft*
This young lady is particularly fond of poultry!
When Ah Chen was feeling down, Ah Mo laughed and said, "How about you ask one of the other aunties to look after things for you?"
Duoduo shook her head and said to Achen, "Brother, those chickens, ducks and geese have all grown up. My sister-in-law and I are leaving this time, and you'll be home alone. How about you kill one every few days to nourish your body?"
