Chapter 491 The little thing has a really solid forehead
Hearing the bitterness in her words, Sang Zhixia couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart, but an annoying smile appeared on her face: "Today is just the beginning. There will be more troubles in the future, and you will only be annoyed when you see it."
"Yanyou had no one to keep him company in Kyoto, and he was bored every day. But things are different here at home."
Sang Zhixia simply took out a few little ones headed by Xu Mingyang and took them for a walk. She said some words of disgust, but there was an unavoidable smile in her eyes.
"These little ones all have their own personalities, but they're all busybodies looking for trouble. It's fine if they don't hang out together, but when they do, it's simply lawless."
"Wait until Yanyou gets to know them after a few days of living here, and then we can do this every day."
There is no need to look back at the dark past, because the future will surely bring you a bright future.
Children are at the age when they should be eating and having fun. With Xu Mingyang leading the way, there is no need to worry that Sang Yanyou will not go crazy.
Perhaps because she had to read other people's faces and act carefully in the first half of her life, Aunt Xie developed the habit of being cautious and is more sensitive than ordinary people.
What you see with your eyes may be fake, but the casualness when Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu are together, and the undisguised response in Xu Yu's eyes are real.
When Sang Zhixia talked about the other members of the Xu family, the smile in her eyes was very strong, and it was obviously from the heart.
Aunt Xie's anxious heart finally calmed down amidst the sound of her heartbeat. After repeated consideration, she carefully held Sang Zhixia's hand and said in a barely audible voice, "Xia Xia, tell your mother the truth."
"Are you really living well in the Xu family?"
"Are your family members really that good to you?"
Aunt Xie was anxious for a long time before finally asking the question she had been worried about for a long time.
Sang Zhixia chuckled softly upon hearing this, blinking as if to keep someone in suspense: "You may not believe everything I say. When we meet at home, you'll know everything, won't you?"
Aunt Xie opened her mouth in bewilderment. Sang Zhixia smiled and said, "Besides, Xu Yu went to so much trouble to send you and Yanyou out of Kyoto, wasn't it just so that you could live a peaceful life with me for a few days?"
"If I'm not doing well, why would I go through all this trouble?"
Aunt Xie seemed to be given a reassurance pill in her restless heart. The heart that had been hanging in her throat finally fell to her stomach. With tears glimmering in the corners of her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good... That's great..."
As a mother, I don’t ask for my children to be rich, I just want them to be healthy and peaceful.
If all the mistakes and regrets could be turned into perfection at this moment, then everything would be worth it...
Sang Zhixia noticed her emotions, so he held her hand with a little more strength and said nothing more.
The carriage had clearly turned a corner, and the road ahead seemed to be a little bumpier.
After walking forward for a while, the carriage slowly stopped and the driver Ling Chu whispered, "Thank you, Madam, we're home."
In order to avoid attracting attention on the way here, Aunt Xie simply asked people to call her Madam Xie, which was also a cover-up.
But now that I'm at the Xu family, I can't do that.
Aunt Xie was about to explain, but before she even got out of the car, she heard a hearty laugh: "Oh, Xia Xia, did you cry so hard seeing your mother? Why haven't you moved even when you're at the door?"
Xu Wenxiu looked at Second Aunt Xu with a look of confusion, then laughed, "Aunt, stop making fun of my daughter-in-law."
"Hey, how am I making fun of you?"
Xu Yu lifted Sang Yanyou, who had already pretended to be calm, off the horse and walked forward to lift the carriage curtain himself: "Mother-in-law, Zhizhi, get off the carriage."
The number of people in front of the Xu family’s door was unprecedentedly large.
The Xu family sisters-in-law, headed by Xu Wenxiu, and the few children standing in an orderly manner from Xu Minghui on down were all there, and all had kind smiles on their faces, big or small.
Aunt Xie got off the horse and stood still. When she saw the wives of the Xu family in front of her, she stepped forward and bowed without thinking.
Xu Wenxiu quickly supported the man and said gently, "There's no need to be like this, mother-in-law."
"You and I are just ordinary people now. Once we enter someone's home, we're already at home. Why should we be so strict with etiquette?"
Second Aunt Xu chimed in, "Yes, Madam Xie raised such a good child like Xia Xia. This is a great blessing for the Xu family's young man. We elders are so busy rushing to express our gratitude that we don't even have time to accept your courtesy."
Aunt Xie had never thought that one day she would be addressed as Madam by Madam Xu. She said with a pale face, feeling embarrassed, "Madam, you are praising me."
"I just..."
"The past is nothing. Now that we've reached home, it's better to forget all those meaningless things."
Aunt Xu gently interrupted Aunt Xie, walked forward warmly but not too forcefully, and took Aunt Xie's cold hand, saying naturally, "Don't stand at the door anymore. The old man and the others are still waiting inside."
"Minghui, why don't you bring your brothers and sisters over to say hello to your Aunt Xie?"
At Aunt Xu's command, the children, all dressed in neat clothes, moved forward together.
Led by Xu Minghui, everyone bowed respectfully to Aunt Xie one by one. Even a child as young as Xu Jinxi had learned all the etiquette. It was amazing that she remembered them all, and she even uttered a few crisp and auspicious words, which immediately dispelled the awkwardness in Aunt Xie's eyes.
Xu Wenxiu nodded and smiled at Sang Zhixia, politely giving up half of her seat. "Mother-in-law, you and the child will come with us to see the old man first. After we see him, we can set the table for dinner."
The Xu family gathered everyone together to go out and welcome them personally. This was a great courtesy and also the greatest respect for Aunt Xie and Sang Yanyou, mother and son.
Aunt Xie was terrified as she had never been treated so highly in her life. She tried to keep her eyes red and remained calm, bowing her head respectfully and saying yes.
In the main hall, the old man sat in the first seat, and sitting on his left and right were Mr. Hu and Mr. Qi who came to join in the fun.
Everyone stepped into the hall together, and Sang Zhixia introduced them, "Mother, Yanyou, the one in the middle is my grandfather."
Aunt Xie walked forward slowly and politely, and while she bowed, Sang Yanyou kept his face straight, knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly to the old man.
"Sang Yanyou pays his respects to the old master."
The old man liked bright and cheerful children. Perhaps because he loved the child, he was also delighted to see Sang Yanyou, who looked 50% similar to Sang Zhixia. He immediately stroked his beard and laughed, "Good, good, good boy!"
"Get up quickly and come to see Grandfather."
Sang Yanyou walked forward confidently, and the old man put a small jade pendant in his little hand.
"This was hand-carved by my grandfather. It's not a very good thing, but it's just a lucky charm. Your brothers and sisters all have a piece, but this is yours, so go ahead and play with it."
Sang Yanyou subconsciously glanced at Sang Zhixia, as if asking if he could accept it.
Sang Zhixia nodded with a smile: "Why don't you thank Grandfather quickly?"
Sang Yanyou was an honest child. He accepted the things and knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
Seeing this, Old Qi was a little amused: "The little fellow is young, but he has a very firm forehead."
"Come here."
