Liu Zhelan felt like she had slept for a very long time. In her dreams, she could always hear the voices of her relatives. Recently, she felt that a little baby was always by her side.
The little girl called out to her grandmother in a soft, sweet voice. She liked to tell Liu Zhelan what she had eaten, what she had done, and what fun things she had encountered.
The little boy was very talkative, as if he wanted to tell Liu Zhelan everything about himself.
Liu Zhelan didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, she was very happy because she liked this little girl, liked her voice, liked what she said, and liked everything about her.
Liu Zhelan desperately wanted to open her eyes and see what the little baby looked like, but she couldn't muster any strength in her body, as if she were bound and unable to move at all.
But today was different. After being fed the ammunition, Liu Zhelan felt a power spreading within her body.
She heard the baby's voice again; she was calling her softly.
"Grandma, Grandma, Little Dumpling misses you so much, please wake up and see me."
Liu Zhelan regained some strength and slowly opened her eyes, only to see a little baby with fair skin and pinkish hues standing in front of her.
Her big, dark eyes were full of expectation, her thick, curled eyelashes blinked, and her pink little mouth opened and closed as she called out to her grandmother.
She was very cute, and looked exactly like Liu Zhelan in her dream.
"Little... dumpling..."
Liu Zhelan managed to utter these words with difficulty. She had been unconscious for too long and had just woken up; her body still needed time to recover.
That aged yet loving voice immediately brought tears to the little girl's eyes. She touched Liu Zhelan's face with her tiny hands and choked out, "Waaah, Grandma, I finally woke you up! Grandma, I missed you so much, I love you so much, Grandma..."
The little dumpling poured out her heart as she spoke of her longing, and everyone around her held back their tears.
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Liu Zhelan was so moved that she wanted to reach out and hug her, but her arms were still stiff, and she could only utter one sentence:
"Grandma... loves you too."
The little dumpling wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, Grandma needs to rest well. When Grandma is all better, the little dumpling will take Grandma to play."
Liu Zhelan nodded, her eyes red. Now, she was willing to go anywhere as long as she could be with her granddaughter.
Wei Qingxi stepped forward and took Liu Zhelan's hand, saying softly, "Mother-in-law, I'm back, Lao Si is back, and Xiao Tuanzi is back too. Our family is reunited!"
Liu Zhelan shed a tear. Before she fell into a coma, Wei Qingxi, who was pregnant with their baby, disappeared along with the fourth brother, Mu Jinnian, and their fates were unknown. She couldn't bear the blow and fell ill.
Now, upon waking up again, she sees her family reunited, which is Liu Zhelan's only wish, and her worries have finally been put to rest.
This was the happiest day for the entire Mu family. The old Marquis specially ordered the kitchen to prepare his wife's favorite dishes. Little Dumpling accompanied her grandmother during the meal, and she even personally fed her grandmother soup.
At night, the little dumpling lay between her parents, holding a book of the Thousand Character Classic and reading it attentively.
Mu Ting was holding a round fan and gently fanning Wei Qingxi and the little dumpling.
Qiuqiu yawned lazily and nestled in its little nest under the bed.
The room was warm and peaceful.
After finishing reading a page, the little dumpling couldn't help but prop herself up and lean over to kiss Mu Tingzheng and Wei Qingxi on the cheeks.
"Daddy, Mommy, Little Dumpling loves you," Little Dumpling said sweetly.
Mu Tingzheng and Wei Qingxi both laughed, and kissed the little dumpling on the cheeks, one on each side, in response to her affection.
"Daddy loves you too."
"Mommy loves you too."
The little dumpling happily propped her head up, her little feet dangling back and forth; she felt incredibly happy at that moment.
Mu Tingzheng and Wei Qingxi looked at their adorable daughter with eyes full of love. Mu Tingzheng couldn't help but ask:
"Daddy's precious dumpling, what is your wish? Tell me, and Daddy will grant it for you."
Mu Tingzheng is now full of energy, wishing he could pluck the moon from the sky for his daughter.
The little dumpling thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... I want to go back to Qinghe Town."
Lately, my little dumpling has been dreaming about Qinghe Town and fragments of her past memories.
Although she is young, she has a long memory.
The small town where she first lived held both happy and painful memories for her.
The little dumpling couldn't help but wonder, "So much time has passed, I wonder how Qinghe Town is now?"
