Chapter 289 Returning Home
Li Zhan laughed and said, "Anyway... don't be so cautious in the future. Like this time, being attacked by horse thieves is so dangerous! If something really happens, I don't know if I can bear it..."
Xia Juanjuan's heart sank. Why wasn't she the same?
If something happened to Li Zhan, she really didn't know if she could survive it...
"Anyway, we are all fine." Xia Juanjuan said softly.
Li Zhan nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!"
Xia Juanjuan waited until Lizhan and the others had become so small that they could no longer be seen, and then she returned to the yurt feeling somewhat lonely.
The next time... Li Zhan comes home, she will tell him about the space.
As for the matter of traveling through time... let's just keep it a secret.
To put it bluntly, her situation is like a resurrection from the dead, which is always a bit... unlucky.
By then, at home, even if Lizhan couldn't accept it for the time being and insisted on divorcing her, she would command a few of the little guys to go and cry. After all, they were his own flesh and blood, and she didn't believe that he would be so cruel as to abandon the mother of his child!
You have to cry until he accepts it!
That morning, Xiao Ma drove Xia Juanjuan to the county and bought a bus ticket to take her to Hohhot. Only after she got on the train did they return.
I also bought the train ticket and a sleeper berth through the military, so I didn’t suffer too much.
After arriving in Beijing, Fu Nanzheng came to pick her up as expected. As soon as they met, he scolded her in a rude manner.
"How can you, a young woman, be so opinionated? If you encountered something and couldn't contact Li Zhan, why didn't you contact me, your third brother? If there was anything, how could I not go with you to find Li Zhan? How dare you take a train and then a bus to travel so far to visit your relatives?
If you run into human traffickers on the road, if they are a group of grown men with a few women, and they insist that you are one of their wives, and the women drag you away by force, even if you shout for help, no one will bother to save you!"
Xia Juanjuan frowned tightly and listened to Fu Nanzheng's chattering with some strangeness.
If what he said was not the truth, and... although he was scolding, he was concerned about her - it was not like a man's concern for a woman, but rather like a brother's concern for his sister, without any dirty intentions, she would have turned hostile long ago.
Go with her to find Li Zhan?
She is a married woman, and she travels thousands of miles with a man she has nothing to do with to seek a fight?
If you fight that jealous guy, it would be strange if he doesn't get jealous.
Besides...she is not really familiar with the Fu family.
This Third Brother Fu...why is he so familiar?
Forget it, since he was nagging for her own good, she endured it.
Fu Nanzheng continued to talk, and he began to feel a little reluctant.
Sigh... If there was evidence to prove that Xia Juanjuan was his sister, and if they were relatives, then she wouldn't have risked her life to run so far away just because she had no one to rely on...
Thinking of this, he asked distressedly: "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a hot pot in the copper stove."
Xia Juanjuan frowned and looked at him. Even if he and Li Zhan were as close as brothers and Li Zhan was not around, what was the point of her going to dinner with him alone?
He immediately shook his head and said, "No. I'm not hungry. I have to hurry and buy a ticket to go home. I haven't seen the kids at home for seven or eight days."
Fu Nanzheng: “…”
You don't have to be so ruthless in your rejection, do you? I'm a little hurt.
I don't know where the reputation of my grandfather and father has gone. They ignored Xia Juanjuan, who was most likely their granddaughter or daughter-in-law, and instead were polite to that family who were obviously fakes. It's really... It makes me so angry that my liver hurts just thinking about it.
Because of this, he has moved to the hospital dormitory because he doesn't want to go back and see the chaos at home!
"Well... okay. I'll go line up and buy you a ticket. It's not convenient to be home these days, otherwise my old man and my father would really like you to come over. Let's forget about it this time."
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
Fortunately it's inconvenient.
As Fu Nanzheng spoke, he took Xia Juanjuan's letter of introduction and went to help queue up to buy tickets. He also bought a sleeper ticket.
After returning, he gave the ticket to Xia Juanjuan and saw a state-owned restaurant opposite the ticket office, so he went over to buy some freshly baked crispy sesame cakes, wrapped them in newspaper, and handed them to Xia Juanjuan, saying, "Here, sesame cakes. This is a time-honored brand and they are delicious. You can eat them on the way."
Then, he saw the state-owned food store next door and bought some oranges, peach cakes and White Rabbit candies, which he also gave to her, saying, "Take these back and give them to your kids. Tell them that these are the bags that their third uncle gave them."
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
All right. Who made the Fu family and Li Zhan friendly? I can't let her cause a rift between the Fu family and Li Zhan.
She smiled and said sweetly, "Thank you, Third Brother Fu."
Fu Nanzheng was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help grinning: "Why call me Third Brother Fu? From now on, don't use the surname, just call me Third Brother!"
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
At that moment, Fu Nanzheng sent her back to the train and said, "When you get home, send me a telegram so I can explain to Li Zhan. Remember to send him a telegram to let him know you're safe. This is the address of the hospital, you must send it."
Xia Juanjuan agreed to all of them.
The train honked and started to move slowly. Fu Nanzheng even ran a few steps and waved at her all the time.
Xia Juanjuan originally wanted to ignore him, but seeing his expectant and friendly look, she couldn't bear to be too cold, so she raised her hand and waved.
It was not until the train accelerated and left the platform and the station that Xia Juanjuan looked down at the things Fu Nanzheng had bought for her.
In addition to sesame cakes, oranges, peach cakes, and White Rabbit milk candies, there are also several lifelike dough figurines.
There are Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Monk Sha, Tang Monk and his four disciples, as well as Nezha, the third prince, and the remaining one is Chang'e holding the Jade Rabbit, exactly six in total. I guess they bought them according to the number of children in the family, one for each child.
Chang'e probably gave the one to Beibei, and the other five naturally belonged to the five brothers, one for each of them.
Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but feel moved at this moment.
Because of Fu Qingye, she has always kept her distance from the Fu family and has some resentment in her heart. She thinks that since the Fu family can raise a daughter like this, they must not be that good.
But now seeing how attentive Fu Nanzheng is to the children, I feel that I should not look at others with tinted glasses.
As for the other members of the Fu family, seeing how nice they were to Lizhan, it was hard to imagine that they were as selfish and bad-hearted as Fu Qingye.
Someone like Fu Qingye is a freak, and there is probably only one like him among so many people!
As she read, she felt emotional in her heart, and then, she suddenly remembered that Fu Nanzheng seemed to have said that these were the bags given to Xiu by her third uncle.
The Fu family and Li Zhan are good friends, shouldn't they call him Third Uncle? What's the point of calling him Third Uncle?
Xia Juanjuan was a little confused, but she quickly put the matter aside.
Maybe I remembered it wrongly.
After returning to the county, Xia Juanjuan sent a telegram to Li Zhan to report that she was safe. After thinking about it, she also sent a letter to Fu Nanzheng and sent it to the hospital.
Then, he returned to the village through the space, took out a lot of delicious food from the space, and walked home.
Even though she had only been away for seven or eight days, she already felt as if she had been gone for a long time.
I wonder if the kids miss her? They haven’t seen their mom these days, only their grandparents are at home, have they cried a lot…
Can't wait to go home.
Soon they arrived at the door of their home. Before they even entered the house, they heard the triplets' grandmother's crying voice one after another: "Grandma, want mommy! Yanyan wants mommy! Wow..."
"Ye Ye wants mommy too! Woo woo..."
"...and Yaoyao also wants...Mom! Mmm... "
Lin Yuru was helpless for a moment: "Hey! Yanyan, Yeye, Yaoyao, be good, your mom is going to buy you some delicious food, she will be back soon!"
"Well...you said the same thing yesterday..."
"And the day before yesterday..."
"And the day before yesterday..."
Lin Yuru: “…”
Xiao Wu came over and held Yaoyao and Yeye's hands like a little adult. When he no longer had his hands to hold Yanyan, he let go of Yeye first, raised his hand and touched Yanyan's head, then said, "You three should stop bothering grandma. And don't cry! Didn't grandma say that mommy is going to buy some delicious food? If you don't want to eat the delicious food, then your second brother, eldest brother, and sister will eat your share too!"
The triplets looked up at Xiao Wu, suddenly pouted their lips, and burst into tears!
"Woo woo! Second brother is bad! Second brother is bad! Second brother doesn't allow me to eat Ye Ye's delicious food..."
"And my elder brother and elder sister are also bad! Why do they eat our share? Wuwu..."
Xiao Wu was stunned.
His original intention was to stop them from crying, not to really eat all their portions...
"Hey! Don't cry! Isn't this a metaphor? A metaphor! You three are so uneducated..."
The triplets stopped crying, looked at Xiao Wu, and then continued to lie in a straight line and cry loudly towards the sky: "Wuwu! Second brother is fierce Yanyan (Ye Ye/Yao Yao), second brother is bad... wow..."
Lin Yuru was both angry and amused. How could they quarrel over this? There was no sign of the delicious food yet...
Just as I was about to go over to stop the fight, Xiao Wen came out and said sternly, "Xiao Wu, are you teasing your brothers again?"
Xiao Wu felt aggrieved: "I...I was just using a metaphor!"
Xiao Wen was helpless: "They are only two years old, it's strange that they know what a metaphor is. Yanyan, Yeye, Yaoyao, be good, it's all your fault, it's your fault, your bad, your bad, your good food will not be eaten, you are two years old now, you are big kids, stop crying!"
Beibei also ran out, and tenderly pulled Yeye, who was crying the loudest, into her arms, and held her in her little hands to comfort her.
The three little ones have been taken out to play by Xiaowen and his friends since they were young. They are very dependent on and admire their eldest brother and they all stopped crying obediently.
After seeing this, Lin Yuru couldn't help but sigh that this seven-year-old 'big brother' was more useful than her grandmother!
Xiao Wu sighed, deeply sighing that no one understood his analogy. Then he remembered something and couldn't help but look back at Lin Yuru, saying in a somewhat depressed tone, "Grandma, I don't want to eat delicious food. Can you ask Mom to come back earlier?"
