Chen Li's brows suddenly furrowed. When she walked in just now, she saw her sister-in-law supporting her mother, who was limping as she walked. She must have injured her foot.
"Mom, what's wrong with your foot?"
He hurried forward and together with his sister-in-law, supported Lin Cuicui on both sides and brought her back to sit on the chair.
"Hey, Mom's leg is fine. I just slipped while walking and fell. If you came back a few days later, you wouldn't be able to see it."
Chen Li looked at her sister-in-law with a questioning look, and only when she saw her nod slightly did she believe it.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Lin Cuicui, but he was worried that the leg injury was not an accident, but man-made.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, my mother and the others will most likely not tell anyone about the situation.
"Mom, how long has your leg been injured?"
Lin Cuicui pulled her daughter to sit down. She hadn't seen her for more than two months. She seemed to have lost some weight, and her eyes were full of heartache.
"Ali, don't worry. My leg will be healed in two days. Did you not eat well when you went out? I saw that you have lost weight."
Chen Li silently reached out and pinched the extra soft flesh on her waist. She was obviously not thin. Along the way, An Wu took good care of herself according to his master's instructions. After such a long journey, she even gained a little weight.
There is a kind of thinness that makes your mother think you are thin.
"Mom, no, I'm not thin. Where did you fall? I'll go check and replace the slate."
When Lin Cuicui heard her daughter mention this, she could not hide the smile on her face.
"No need, Ali, your father replaced the slate a long time ago."
Oh my god, my parents forced a handful of dog food into my mouth again. Fortunately, I was used to it. After looking at my sister-in-law next to me, I changed the subject. Although I was used to it, eating less was better.
"Mom, where's my dad?"
Xu Taohua smiled and said, "Little sister, Achi suddenly insisted on having you today. I couldn't persuade him, so I happened to have something to do in the city, so I took him with me. He should be back soon."
"oh."
It must be more than just a quarrel. She must have been crying, and crying quite loudly, otherwise her father would not have compromised so easily.
"Ali, are you hungry? Mommy will make you a bowl of noodles."
"Mom, your legs and feet are not very convenient, please don't bother me. I had lunch at noon and I'm not hungry now. I can just have a snack to fill my stomach when I get hungry later."
Chen Li sat next to Lin Cuicui so that she could see herself more easily.
Seeing that her face was rosy and she was in high spirits, Lin Cuicui did not force her. As for Chen Li's mention of gaining weight, she did not feel that way at all. She looked very thin originally and she still looked thin now. It would be better if she could gain a little more weight.
The three of them chatted for a while, and when they came back, Lin Cuicui called them to rest before they could even change their clothes.
"Ali, go wash up first, change your clothes, and have a good rest."
Chen Li stood up, remembered the things she brought back, and gave a few instructions.
"Mom, sister-in-law, I brought back a few boxes. The ones tied with red ribbons are mine. The remaining three boxes were given by Lu Jing. You can open them and see what's inside."
"Okay, go and have a rest.
Wait for your father to come back and have him deliver the two boxes to your yard."
Shen Li said that the two boxes were hers, so the Shen family would not open them without permission.
Chen Li returned to the room and found that hot water had been delivered. She took off her clothes and soaked in the bathtub, feeling relaxed all over.
I have to say that although I like the scenery of rain here, the house is too humid and it is really unbearable!
Shen Changshan came back with Shen Mochi half an hour later. As soon as he entered the house, he heard that Shen Li was back.
Shen Mochi broke free from Shen Changshan's arms and hurried to his grandmother's yard with his chubby little legs.
"Grandma, mother, aunt is back!"
"Auntie, auntie, where is auntie?"
As soon as Shen Mochi entered, he first called the two people who were sitting there, and then began to look for his aunt all over the house.
"Achi, my aunt is in her yard."
Xu Taohua spoke quickly. In just a moment, Shen Mochi had searched every corner of the room. If she spoke any slower, he would have crawled under the bed.
Shen Changshan picked up his eldest grandson lying on the ground and said, "The ground is cold, don't lie on the ground. Auntie won't run away when she comes back. Wait for her to rest for a while, and you will see her after dinner."
After hearing what Shen Changshan said, the little guy's face turned red, partly because he had just run over, and partly because he was embarrassed.
"Okay, wait for aunt to eat."
Chen Li rested in her room for more than an hour. As for the two mahogany boxes, they had been sent to the small warehouse in her yard.
Chen Li didn't open it immediately. She probably knew what was inside and would take it out when she needed it.
"Aunt~"
As soon as Chen Li stepped into her parents' yard, a pendant appeared on her leg and she was picked up.
"Auntie, I miss you so much!"
Shen Mochi rubbed his chubby face against Shen Li's face, and his chubby hands were tightly around her neck.
Chen Li carried him in one hand and walked inside. When she had some free time, she patted his head and said, "Achi, I haven't seen you for a while. You've become much stronger."
This amount of force was nothing to Chen Li, and since he hadn't been back for a while, she indulged him.
"Father, mother, sister-in-law."
"Ali is back, let Dad see her."
Shen Changshan stood at the door, looking at his daughter whom he hadn't seen for more than two months, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
Hearing this, Shen Li stood there holding Shen Mochi, and even turned around a few times for fear that he couldn't see clearly.
"Okay, Dad, look carefully, stop spinning. You're making yourself dizzy."
He looked at his wife beside him and said, "Have you noticed that Ali is much more cheerful now that she's back this time?"
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
Lin Cuicui said as she called out to Chen Li, "Ali, come on, let's go inside. If your father wants to stay outside, let him get some fresh air."
"Mom, I haven't been home recently. How is the situation at home? Is there anything wrong?"
"No, Ali, since you're out there, don't worry about what's happening at home. Everything is fine at home."
"Um."
Although I said this, I didn't feel the same way in my heart. It was impossible for me not to worry about my family.
"By the way, Ah Li, your fourth brother is now a student. He is studying at Lushan Academy and is preparing for the exam to become a scholar."
“That’s a good thing.”
There were happy smiles on their faces. Although they had known that Fourth Brother was fine, they were still very happy when they actually saw it.
"I'll go see Fourth Brother some other day and bring him some things."
"Well, you two siblings haven't seen each other for over two months."
Mentioning this, Chen Li took out the letter from her sleeve and said, "Father, mother, sister-in-law, this is a letter from my eldest brother. The letter was sent to the capital, but I didn't ask them to send it over when I was there."
Xu Taohua looked excited. She used to have nightmares all the time, but now she is fine. She finally received a letter from her husband.
