At this moment, the people in Yingjia Village saw that Ying Xixi had actually returned to her parents' home, holding the daughter who was said to have been born with a cleft lip in her arms.
All eyes, whether curious, curious, or sympathetic, fell on Ying Xixi and Guigui.
Ying Xixi walked forward without changing her expression or looking around.
She doesn't care what others think of her. Anyway, she and Guigui won't lose a single piece of flesh.
If someone greets her in a friendly way, she will respond.
But if someone says something unpleasant, she will just retort back!
Put aside your personal qualities and enjoy a bad life!
The Ying family lives in a red brick and tile house. Although it looks very simple, Ying's mother is very hardworking and keeps the house clean both inside and outside.
"Dad! Mom! Dazhu! Are you home?"
Ying Xixi shouted and knocked on the door.
Soon the door was opened, and Ying's mother saw Ying Xixi standing outside the door in a daze.
"Mom, I came to see you. How have you been these past two years?"
Ying Xixi went in with a smile. Seeing that Ying's mother was still in a daze, she reached out and closed the door, isolating the villagers who were peeking in to watch the fun from outside.
When Ying's mother came to her senses, her eyes turned red.
"Xixi...you still remember to go back to your parents' home! It's been such a long time!"
Ying's mother choked up and pretended to pat Ying Xixi twice.
"Mom, don't cry, don't cry. Come, hug your eldest granddaughter. I'm going to take care of the pheasant."
Ying Xixi freed her hands to pat Guigui, who was still hunching her head in her arms and didn't dare to raise it.
"Baby, we're home. This is grandma. Lift yourself up and let grandma hug you, okay?"
Guigui moved her little body, carefully raised her little head, and turned to look at Ying's mother.
She never dared to look up at others because she knew that she was the little monster in everyone's eyes.
She had once bravely raised her head, but she saw disgust, aversion, and ridicule in the eyes of her grandmother, two aunts, and two brothers.
From then on, she didn't want to look up at others anymore.
But my mother said that grandma was a very nice person and would like her.
She believed that her mother would not lie to her, and she was willing to try again.
Guigui and Ying's mother met eyes.
This time, she did not see disgust or aversion in her grandmother's eyes.
She felt her grandmother's love for her.
Guigui opened her big eyes, which were clearly black and white, and was stunned.
Mother didn’t lie to her!
Grandma is a good person!
"My dear, I am your grandma. Come here, let me hug you."
Ying's mother looked at the little girl with pity and reached out to hug her.
"Grandma, give me a hug."
Guigui spoke in a baby voice, which was filled with caution and anticipation.
She opened her little arms toward her grandmother.
Ying's mother's eyes were filled with heartache and pity. She hugged the little girl tightly. The little girl was so thin and small that her bones felt a little uncomfortable.
"Be good, come on, follow grandma into the house, grandma will give you some cakes."
After Ying's mother took Guigui away, Ying Xixi quickly prepared to kill the chicken.
The Ying family’s furnishings are still the same as before Ying Xixi got married.
Ying Xixi went into the kitchen as if she knew the place well, took out a kitchen knife, and boiled some water to prepare to kill the chicken.
She was sharpening the knife when Ying's father and her brother Ying Liangzhu came back.
When the father and son opened the door and saw Ying Xixi, they were stunned and thought they were dazzled.
"Dad, Dazhu, you're back. Dazhu, come over and give me a hand. I caught a pheasant in the mountains. I killed it and we'll have chicken tonight!"
Ying Xixi greeted her brother with a smile, without any awkwardness or helplessness as if they hadn't seen each other for more than two years.
Ying Liangzhu is a sixteen-year-old boy. He looks 60% similar to Ying Xixi, except that his skin is wheat-colored and he looks tall and strong.
He came to his senses, his mouth pursed and he almost howled.
"Sister, you are finally willing to come back! Sister, did the Qi family bully you? Tell me, I will go and settle the score with them!"
Ying Liangzhu rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out.
Ying Xixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Dazhu, stop! Come over here and kill the chicken first. We can talk later if we have anything to say."
Ying Liangzhu came over with a pout, squatted down, and began to slaughter the chicken with quick movements.
Ying Xixi stood up and looked at her father, who was obviously much older than he was more than two years ago.
"Dad, Guigui and Mom are in the room."
Father Ying's eyes lit up, as if he had gotten what he wanted. "You brought Guigui with you, okay, okay. Xixi, how long can you stay this time?"
"I don't know either. Actually, I didn't tell the Qi family that I was back. But even if I hadn't gone back, their family wouldn't have come looking for me."
Ying Xixi curled the corners of her mouth in self-mockery.
Father Ying sighed, "Xixi, it's your father and your mother who have let you down. If we hadn't let you marry Qi Weidong, you wouldn't be living like this."
"Dad, this has nothing to do with you. Qi Weidong is Qi Weidong, and the Qi family is the Qi family. It's because Qi Weidong was not at home these past two years. If Qi Weidong was at home, maybe our lives would be a little better.
But there's no point saying this now. Okay, Dad, go inside and look at the treasures. Dazhu and I will take care of the pheasant first."
Ying Xixi gently pushed her father into the house.
Ying Liangzhu moved quickly and efficiently. He had already scalded the pheasant and was plucking its feathers.
"Sister, you just said you caught a pheasant in the mountains? How did you catch it? I don't see any wounds on the pheasant."
Ying Xixi squatted beside her brother and told him about how she chased pheasants to her mother's home.
Ying Liangzhu was both angry and amused.
"Sister, you're really something. You ran so far just to catch a pheasant. Um, what's going on?"
Ying Liangzhu's sister stuffed something in his mouth, and he smacked it, it tasted strangely sweet.
"Toffees, is it delicious?"
Ying Xixi smiled.
Ying Liangzhu lowered his head to hide his red eyes.
"It's too sweet. It tastes good, but I don't like it. Sister, don't give it to me. Save it for your treasure."
"I saved some for the treasure, you can eat it too."
The brother and sister squatted together talking and laughing. When Ying's father, who came out to the yard to smoke, saw this scene, the eyes of the man who rarely got wet in his life became moist.
Ying Liangzhu prepared the pheasant, and Ying Xixi was ready to cook.
The current economy is much better than it was a decade ago, but the Ying family's living standards have clearly not kept pace with the times.
Ying Xixi was chatting with Ying Liangzhu just now, and only then did she realize that they usually couldn't eat much meat.
That's perfect, she can show off her skills and kill two birds with one stone.
The Ying family does not have the habit of keeping gentlemen away from the kitchen, so Ying Liangzhu happily stood by to help Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi first separated the chicken from the chicken bones, then cooked the chicken bones with corn and carrots to make a pot of chicken bone, corn and carrot soup.
She also peeled the chicken skin, fried it in a pan, and sprinkled some chili powder on it. It was fragrant, crispy and spicy.
She used the yellow chicken fat she skimmed out to stir-fry with bok choy.
