When Xiaolian saw Xiaoying crying, she started crying too.
Xiao Feng, who had been comforting Xiao Ying, also had tears welling up in her eyes.
Gou Dan and Xiao Ya stood to the side, looking at Xiao Feng with surprise and delight, feeling very happy.
Both of them are in good health. The doctor had previously expressed concern that the two children might have been frightened and might develop a fever and convulsions at night!
Unexpectedly, apart from sleeping all day that day, the two children were lively and energetic again when they woke up the next day.
As for why they were happy, it was because when they took Xiaoying and Xiaolian out before, they always heard those adults saying that Xiaoying and her sister were pitiful.
They even said that if Xiao Feng just lay there without waking up, then she was about to die!
Dog Egg and Little Girl couldn't yet understand what death was, but they heard from the gossipy women in the village that, like their parents, they had never seen each other since birth and would never see each other again—that was death.
This made the two children very anxious, so they would visit Xiaofeng, who was lying motionless on the kang (a heated brick bed), every day.
As long as you can still see her, it proves that Xiaofeng is not dead.
Now that they see Xiaofeng has opened her eyes and can move and speak again, they are genuinely happy.
When Xiuchun and Siya returned, the children burst into tears.
Fu Hongxing patted each of their heads one by one before saying, "What's there to cry about? Xiao Feng is awake now, shouldn't we all be happy?"
Ning Jing nodded and smiled, "That's right, I specially made some delicious food for you today."
Long, pan-fried glutinous rice cakes sprinkled with brown sugar are a perfect treat for kids.
Even Fu Hongxing ate a whole plate of it.
After sending the other children to bed, leaving only Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng tugged at the hem of her clothes, pursed her lips, and looked at Fu Hongxing with clear eyes.
"Uncle, is there any news about my mother's matter?"
Fu Hongxing let out a long sigh, then nodded and said, "Yes, 8 years! Your father was 2 years and 9 months. Your grandmother has been released and returned home. If she finds out you're better, she'll probably come and ask us to return you to your family."
Thinking of how Old Lady Zhang had tormented Xiao Feng and her two sisters in the past, Fu Hongxing frowned.
Xiao Feng bit her lower lip after hearing this, wanting to ask her uncle, "Can't we stay here?"
But since my uncle said that, there must be a reason why they can't stay.
"It's okay, Uncle. Grandma is all alone now. I have my uncle and aunt. She shouldn't do anything to me."
Seeing Xiao Feng's well-behaved appearance, Fu Hongxing forced a smile and reached out to pat her head.
Old Mrs. Zhang is now a direct relative of Xiaofeng and her two sisters. As their uncle, he can only visit the three children occasionally and bring them over to stay for a few days.
All of this requires Old Lady Zhang's consent. If Old Lady Zhang is unwilling, he might have difficulty even seeing Xiao Feng and the other two.
Now that Old Mrs. Zhang's son and daughter-in-law have all been arrested and sent to labor camps, the three children know that it's impossible for Fu Hongxing to stay in the Fu family forever.
She's a lazy person by nature, so if she's all alone, all the housework, like cooking and laundry, has to be done by her, this old woman.
If Xiaofeng and her two sisters were here, these tasks could naturally be left to them.
Although they are young, that doesn't stop them from already being able to do things!
Fu Hongxing's worries were indeed correct.
