Sweetie thought about it and realized that since she returned to her mother's side, her mother had never lied to her.
Just like Mommy said, she would be back within three days, and now, before three days have even passed, Mommy is back.
Immediately, Sweetheart completely believed Gong Yixue.
Ye Yuchen also believed in Gong Yixue.
Although he didn't say anything, the upturned corners of his mouth revealed his true feelings.
Dongfang Tinglan then spoke up, "You must not have eaten yet since you came back so early. Come on over and have something to eat. You're such a child, you didn't even tell me you were coming back so I could prepare your meal. Right now, I can only have someone prepare lunch for you earlier."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue nodded.
She didn't refute it; she couldn't very well say that the reason she secretly returned was to give her children a surprise.
But I forgot to tell them.
Just as she was about to walk over, Ye Mohan slowly said, "Let me carry Xiao Chen, don't tire yourself out."
Gong Yixue was about to say no.
This is nothing; she's carried people who were heavier than her before. Even Sweetheart and Xiao Chen combined don't weigh as much as she does.
This is a piece of cake for her.
At this moment, Ye Yuchen spoke up, "Mommy, I want Daddy to hold me."
Gong Yixue was taken aback at first.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Mohan simply carried the person over.
Seeing this, Gong Yixue didn't know what else to say.
The group then headed towards the dining table.
What Gong Yixue didn't see was that Ye Mohan gave Ye Yuchen a look that said, "You're awesome."
Ye Yuchen, however, had no intention of paying him any attention.
He actually wanted his mom to hold him too.
But just like Daddy said, Mommy gets tired of carrying them both.
As the older brother, he had to give way to his younger sister.
This is also why he let Ye Mohan hug him.
At the dinner table, Dongfang Tinglan looked at Youluo and thoughtfully put food on her plate, saying, "Youluo, eat more. Look how thin you've become."
As she spoke, she put a lot of food on Youluo's plate.
Youluo paused, holding her chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
Because she was some distance from Youluo, she had stood up to pick up food, but was now sitting back down.
Dongfang Tinglan smiled and said, "No need to thank me. You and Xue'er are good sisters, so we are family. It's only natural for family members to care for and look after each other. There's no need to be so formal and say thank you."
Looking at Dongfang Tinglan, Youluo felt a warmth in her heart.
So this is what it feels like to be cared for by elders.
She felt differently about Ah Yi.
She had never experienced this feeling before, but now that she had, she felt very happy.
Youluo nodded and began to eat.
Even foods she didn't like tasted exceptionally delicious at that moment.
Gong Yixue laughed from the bottom of her heart as she watched this scene.
For the past twenty years, she wasn't the only one who suffered; Youluo suffered even more.
Fortunately, the two sisters have now finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Although they are not blood sisters, they are closer than blood sisters.
Everything from the past has vanished like smoke; it was all worthwhile.
Just then, Ye Mohan thoughtfully served food to Gong Yixue and said, "Xue'er, you have me."
Gong Yixue, "..."
How could those words be so easily misunderstood?
Everyone will think she's jealous later.
Actually, seeing that Youluo could also receive her mother's love made her happier than anyone else.
Just then, Sweetheart and Ye Yuchen seemed to have thought of something as well.
With difficulty, they stretched out their short arms and picked up the xiaolongbao from the nearest plate and put them into Gong Yixue's bowl.
The two children innocently said, "Mommy, you still have us."
Gong Yixue was both happy and somewhat embarrassed.
However, she still smiled and said to the two little ones, "Yes, Mommy and my babies, thank you, darlings."
The two little ones were laughing happily.
Gong Yixue then continued eating.
But she always felt that a pair of resentful eyes were fixed on her.
She looked in that direction and saw the master of that gaze, Ye Mohan.
Immediately, she roughly guessed why he was doing this.
She praised the two little ones but not him.
She just didn't understand that "two little ones" meant "little ones," which is why she responded.
How could she possibly praise a grown man like Ye Mohan in front of her friends and parents?
Ye Mohan: Anything is fine, even a kiss is okay.
Gong Yixue: ...
After breakfast, everyone went to catch up on their sleep as usual.
Even though I slept on the plane, nothing beats the comfort of a bed.
When Gong Yixue woke up again and went downstairs, she saw Gong Nanting and his wife, as well as Gong Yuanyuan and her husband.
Gong Yixue walked over and saw the women in the house busy at work.
Some people are kneading dough, while others are mixing fillings.
The men were playing with the children.
Ji Lei was the first to see Gong Yixue and said, "Xue'er, you've come."
Gong Yixue nodded to her.
"Auntie."
Gong Yuanyuan smiled and nodded at her, while Gong Yixue called out, "Auntie."
Gong Yuanyuan nodded.
Everyone continued with their work.
Seeing Gong Yixue come down, Dongfang Tinglan smiled and said, "You're awake, just in time to come and help."
Gong Yixue nodded and asked, "Are you making dumplings?"
Dongfang Tinglan nodded and said, "Yes, it's not easy for the whole family to get together, so we thought we'd eat something to celebrate."
In Z country, eating dumplings symbolizes family reunion, so we decided to make them for good luck.
Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue nodded.
That's true. In the past, the village chief would take her to make dumplings during the Spring Festival and tell her that the Spring Festival is all about eating dumplings, because that's how you experience the true flavor.
Seeing everyone busy, Gong Yixue said, "I'll join in too."
With Gong Yixue's involvement, the process has sped up considerably.
When the dumplings were almost finished, Dongfang Tinglan said, "You guys continue making them. I'm going to the kitchen to boil water so I can cook the dumplings later."
Everyone nodded.
Soon, pot after pot of piping hot dumplings were served.
Dongfang Tinglan instructed the men to take the children to wash up and prepare for dinner.
At the dining table.
The group sat together, looking at a table full of dumplings that symbolized family reunion, and everyone was filled with mixed emotions.
The people here, any one of them, have experienced too many bad things in the past.
Fortunately, all of that is in the past, and it can be considered that the bitterness has turned into sweetness.
Gong Nanting slowly began, "Today is a joyous day for family reunion. Let me say a few words on behalf of all of us, elder brother."
Hearing this, Gong Beize remained silent for a moment before speaking, "The past is the past, we don't need to dwell on it. What's happening now is happening, let's cherish the present. In the future, we will all get better and better."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
They then raised their glasses and drank together.
The men all drank alcohol, and even Gong Nanting, who was trying to conceive, took a small sip.
Among the ladies, only Gong Yixue was drinking alcohol; the other two were drinking juice, since one was pregnant and the other was trying to conceive.
