Surrounding the stone table are still those same few rustic stone stools, which seem to have witnessed the passage of time and changes.
Besides the stone table and stools, there are also several tall old elm trees in the courtyard.
These elm trees have weathered countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters, and have now become one of the iconic features of this courtyard.
In addition, the jujube tree that Xiao Jian had carefully transplanted from the riverbank had unknowingly grown into a towering tree.
In the height of summer, the lush trees are laden with clusters of small, emerald-green jujubes.
Under the gentle breeze, the small and exquisite fruits swayed softly, like a string of green wind chimes.
At this moment, the entire courtyard was enveloped by dense foliage, forming a cool and pleasant shady spot.
Under the shade of the trees, Xiao Mengjie was skillfully brewing a pot of fragrant tea for everyone.
Xiao Weiguo picked up the teacup and took a small sip. He felt a refreshing fragrance instantly permeate his senses, making him feel incredibly comfortable.
Gu Meiying and her daughter also savored the delicious tea, their faces beaming with satisfaction and happiness.
At this moment, sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, enjoying the rare cool breeze of summer while savoring the wonderful taste of fragrant tea, is undoubtedly an extremely pleasant and intoxicating experience for everyone present.
However, at this moment, Gu Meiying and her daughter did not seem to be enjoying this pleasant time of drinking tea and chatting.
Their gazes kept unconsciously drifting towards the east wing, where Hu Zi lived.
Hu Zi and Xiao Jian were seen bustling back and forth, taking meticulous care of Xiao Feng's daily life, tidying up and cleaning for him.
Gu Meiying and her daughter wanted to lend a hand, but ultimately, due to their female modesty, they were too shy to take action despite their desire.
All I could do was keep looking in that direction, hoping they could finish what they were doing soon.
Xiao Weiguo sat calmly to the side, leisurely sipping his fragrant tea, while casting his gaze upon the mother and daughter beside him.
Xiao Weiguo could discern their innermost thoughts simply from the subtle changes in their expressions.
Seeing their anxiety, Xiao Weiguo finally couldn't help but speak up to comfort them.
"Auntie, and Mengjie, stop staring! There's nothing to worry about! If you really want to see my Uncle Feng, there's no need to rush!"
Then he continued to comfort him.
"Besides, Hu Zi and Xiao Jian are both juniors of Uncle Feng, so it's only natural for them to serve and take care of their elders. You can rest assured, they are both strong and healthy young men, surely they can handle such a small matter?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Meiying slowly turned her head, a slightly awkward and unnatural smile appearing on her face.
She knew in her heart that Xiao Weiguo was right.
She had long since lost all hope and expectation in the man before her.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. On the day of their reunion, the long-dormant lake of his heart was like a stone thrown into it, instantly creating ripples.
Especially after Hu Zi expressed his willingness to forgive her, Gu Meiying's originally firm decision began to waver.
From that moment on, her desire to sit down with this man and have a proper chat grew stronger, as if an invisible force was driving her to get closer to him and understand him.
She longed to know what this man had gone through in the years since he left.
What were the reasons that allowed them to so resolutely abandon everything and fly away?
Now that it has returned in this state, what story lies behind it?
Actually, she didn't want to interrogate him; she simply wanted to hear about his past.
Perhaps, in some corner of my heart, there is still a little bit of care for him.
Inside the room, Xiao Feng stood there quietly.
After a careful makeover, he looked completely different and exuded a unique charm.
The comfortable hot bath he had just taken seemed to have a magical power, sweeping away all the fatigue that had accumulated in his body.
The warm water not only relieved the tension in his muscles, but also felt like a spiritual cleansing, allowing him to regain his vitality and life.
Wearing those clean and luxurious clothes, Xiao Feng looked radiant.
The light blue suit was well-tailored, fitting his slender figure and showcasing his elegant lines.
The floral shirt worn underneath adds just the right touch of liveliness and style.
Since it wasn't a business occasion, Xiao Jian didn't tie a tie for him, leaving his collar open.
This subtle detail instantly adds a touch of unruliness to Xiao Feng's originally serious image, making him like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, free-spirited and full of personality.
Looking further down, you can see his feet are wearing a pair of shiny black leather shoes, and every step he takes seems to radiate confidence.
Her long hair was neatly tied back, revealing a broad and smooth forehead, giving her a refreshing and neat appearance.
Especially his long beard, comparable to that of a Middle Easterner, was meticulously groomed, with each hair clearly separated and orderly arranged, as if telling a story accumulated over the years.
Finally, when Xiao Feng washed the mud off his face and body, his previously slightly haggard face immediately radiated vitality.
