Chapter 204 Arrival
In the future, Grandma Zhang’s injury was caused by a broken femur caused by being pushed and trampled by the rioting crowd when she went out that day. The old lady’s bones are brittle and recover slowly. This unexpected disaster was also the root cause of her death.
This problem is easy to solve. As long as we find a way to prevent her from going out that day, we will not encounter the situation later.
What kept her tossing and turning were the crazy scenes she saw through this incident.
Although it is not the first time I know this, it is still painful to foresee it again. It is a powerlessness that cannot be prevented and cannot be changed.
After all, apart from that adventure, she is just an ordinary person. It is good enough that she can take care of and protect her relatives and friends. How can she have the ability to shake the overall trend?
…
I was so drowsy that I didn't know when I fell asleep and then woke up in a daze, with a throbbing pain in my temples.
He pressed the button hard, and when he looked at his watch and realized that it was almost time to pick someone up, Su Ning quickly threw off the quilt and got up.
After packing up as quickly as possible, Zhang Ze opened the gate and was already standing upright in the corner.
"When did Brother Zhang come here? Why didn't he knock on the door?"
"I just got here not long ago. I'm watching the time."
There was glittering frost on the ends of his hair, and it was obvious that he had been there for quite some time. However, knowing that he wanted to rest for a while, Suning just smiled and didn't argue with him.
After she locked the door and they walked side by side out of the alley, Zhang Ze took out something wrapped in brown paper from his arms and handed it to her.
The plump and round red bean paste buns were warmed by his body temperature and still had a hint of heat.
"Eat it while it's still hot to fill your stomach. I know you like sweet buns, so your sister-in-law made two of them specially for you with red bean paste filling."
"Mmm, it smells so good! Thank my sister-in-law for me~"
He squinted his eyes and took a big bite. There was quite a bit of red bean paste in it, and the soft and sticky sweetness was just right. Suning liked it very much. "Brother Zhang, have you eaten it?"
"Don't worry, I'm going out after eating. Eat slowly or you might choke."
"Uh-huh."
…
Gaoyun Bridge has been rebuilt, and traveling to the other side is now much more convenient and faster.
The two of them arrived outside the train station at just the right time.
I spent money to buy two platform tickets, but the train hasn't arrived yet, so it must be late again.
After ten or twenty minutes, a whistle sounded from far away.
“Here it comes!”
"Finally, the train has arrived!"
The people anxiously waiting on the platform were cheered up and couldn't wait to stand on tiptoe and look around.
The locomotive slowly passed by with a clanging sound, and stopped after the last whistle.
…
"Godfather, godmother, big brother, Xiaoqiu!"
In the crowd, Suning was waving his arms and smiling happily.
Zhang Fu and Hu Yingtao each held one side of Xiaoqiu's hand tightly, while Zhang Qi followed behind with difficulty, carrying the family's luggage alone.
Hearing the familiar voice not far away and meeting those sparkling eyes, a smile couldn't help but spread across my face before I even opened my mouth.
“Ningning!”
"Auntie!"
Xiaoqiu broke free from the hand holding her and threw herself into her arms, "Auntie, woo~"
He picked the person up with one hand. After not seeing the little guy for a long time, he had not only grown taller but also gained a lot of weight. It was no longer as easy to hold him as when we first met.
The little girl nestled in her neck, holding her tightly with both hands. Su Ning couldn't help but have tears in her eyes as if she was burned by her tears.
Patting her back gently, his voice was as gentle as ever, "Xiao Qiu is missing your aunt, right?"
"Well, that's something to think about!"
Xiao Qiu nodded vigorously, sniffed, and replied with a trembling voice, "Aunt, if you don't come to see Xiao Qiu, then Xiao Qiu will come to see you instead."
The accusatory tone made her laugh and cry, "Okay, okay, auntie was wrong. How could I not visit our lovely Xiaoqiu for such a long time?"
"No, my uncle said that my aunt is busy, not because she misses me."
The heartwarming conversation between the two, big and small, made the smiles on the faces of the others present deepen.
Zhang Fu smiled and strode forward to hold the little girl in his arms. The girl is calm now, so don't crush Ningning.
"Godfather, godmother, brother, let's go home first and talk about it when we get home."
"Okay, I'll listen to Ningning."
Zhang Ze took a few steps forward at the right time and reached out to take some of the luggage from Zhang Qi's hand.
"This is also my brother, Brother Zhang Ze."
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Okay, okay, the young man looks very upright and energetic. He is worthy of being Ningning's brother. We should be a family. We all have the surname Zhang, so we might have been family a hundred years ago. Hahaha!"
"Hahaha! Uncle is right, we are all family!"
The group walked out of the train station talking and laughing.
…
It was already bright when we returned to Nanmen Street, and Zhang Ze's daughter-in-law Tian Xiang had prepared a sumptuous welcoming banquet.
Perhaps it was because they all had the surname Zhang, or perhaps it was because of Suning, but none of the people gathered together felt awkward or strange, and both the guests and hosts were happy after the meal.
"Ningning, your courtyard is decorated very elegantly."
"I just made it according to my own preferences. It's good, isn't it?"
"That's great. I can imagine how beautiful this wall of flowers will be when it blooms."
Zhang Qi pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled as gentle as jade. In his heart, he sighed: I didn't realize that this girl still has some romantic feelings of a young girl.
After pouring a cup of hot tea for them one by one, Suning sat down in the empty seat next to them.
Xiao Qiu's eyes lit up, and she ran quickly to her side holding the little circle, and her nervous look, as if she was afraid that the person would run away, made everyone laugh.
"Brother, I haven't thanked you yet. When the Yan family and the Fu family were in trouble, you helped them run around."
He touched the little guy's furry head and looked back at him with emotion in his eyes.
To be able to be so dedicated and achieve three things with just one thing, this can only be done if you truly hold her in your heart and treat her as a family member.
"Why are you being polite to your elder brother?"
He waved his hand in displeasure, but when he mentioned this chess piece, he couldn't help but think of the Yan family, whom he had only met once, and the Fu family, who were all sick.
"By the way, Ningning, how are these two families now?"
"For the time being, there have been no further incidents."
"That's good. As long as nothing serious happens to people, there is still hope for everything."
"Well, that cough ~ godfather, godmother, and elder brother..."
The usually graceful and confident person now felt a little shy and uncomfortable.
Her sudden and shy behavior really surprised the Zhang family members.
"Ningning, is there something troubling you? Just tell me, don't be shy, your godfather and godmother are here for you."
Hu Yingtao held her little hand, and her mind quickly thought: What difficulties have you encountered that make you feel so embarrassed?
I wonder if the savings at home are enough?
"Yes, Ningning, even though we are just godparents, you are just like our daughter in our hearts."
Zhang Fu also hurriedly spoke up, fearing that she was in trouble and had reservations, "What's the matter?"
"It's not what you think. I have something to tell you. I'm dating someone."
"Are you dating someone? Where is he from? What's the guy like?"
The two elders were stunned at first, but after they realized what was happening, they couldn't help but become concerned and asked questions one after another, fearing that she had been deceived.
It is not uncommon for an 18-year-old girl to have a boyfriend, but Ningning lives alone at home without any elders. What if the man has bad character and bad intentions?
It is not uncommon to let a wolf into the house. Some people are just evil at heart and like to target people like Ningning who are pretty and have a good family background, and who don't have any elders who can make decisions at home.
How could they not be anxious and worried?
"Why haven't I heard you mention this before? Ningning, you have to be careful when dating. We are so outstanding that we can't afford to pick a crooked tree."
"We just talked a short while ago. I was planning to write to tell you, but after receiving your letter saying you were coming over, I thought of telling you in person."
Then, Suning briefly talked about the current situation of Yan Bei and the Yan family, but he didn't intend to hide anything.
First, my eldest brother has already contacted the Yan family and has some understanding of them. Rather than finding out from somewhere else and making them worry, it would be better for him to explain it himself.
Secondly, she likes and admires all the members of the Yan family, whether it is Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, or Uncle Yan and his younger uncle.
Such a good person, she doesn't want the Zhang family to have any misunderstandings because of outside opinions and the labels that are currently attached to them.
