As she expected, he came back fortunately. Shumei was secretly glad in her heart.
"Sister Huimei, I'm not here. I'm sorry to bother you again. I'll go back first and come talk to you when I have time."
"Okay, okay, come back soon! It seems like a lot of things have happened at your family recently. Shuangning must miss you a lot."
Before Wen Dazui had the chance to tell Shumei what had happened recently and that Zhang Binglin had taken Xiao Shuangning to look for her, Shumei was already impatient to go back.
They were almost home, and she must be eager to go home and see her daughter. Wen Dazui certainly understood her and not only did not force her to stay, he also urged her to go back quickly.
Only then did Shumei lead Li Yushu and Wencai towards home.
As soon as Shumei turned around, Wen Dazui quickly ran into the store with the child in his arms, picked up the phone and called Tang Boyi.
"Hey! Big sister, what's going on?"
Boyi's indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Boyi! Shumei is back in the village."
"What?"
Boyi roared so loudly that it almost broke Wen Dazui's eardrum.
She reflexively moved the microphone away from her ear and rubbed her uncomfortable ear.
During this time, Boyi's voice of "Hello, hello, hello" kept coming from the phone.
Wen Dazui put the microphone back to his ear and said, "Why are you yelling so loudly? Are you trying to deafen me?"
"Sorry, sister! I was so excited. Who did you just say, 'Shumei is back in the village?' Did I hear it right?"
"That's right, it's Shumei. But she also brought back a young man and an old man. I didn't have time to ask who they were. I'm sure I've never seen the old man before, but the young man looks very familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before."
"Okay, okay, big sister, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'll close the door and go back now."
After Boyi finished speaking, he hung up the phone impatiently without waiting for Wen Dazui to reply.
Wen Dazui heard the beeping sound on the phone and angrily slammed the receiver against the landline. He complained to himself, "What a heartless guy! I kindly informed you, but you didn't even say thank you and you dared to hang up on me. You're such an ungrateful person."
Boyi immediately closed the shop in a panic and went to tell Qianqian to help pick up and take care of Xiao Youchen.
"Qianqian, thank you for your help. I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first." After he gave his instructions in a few words, he rode his bicycle to the village. He didn't even have time to tell Qianqian that Shumei was back.
"Brother Boyi, what's the urgent matter? Slow down..." Qianqian sent Boyi out the door. Looking at Boyi's figure walking away, she loudly told Boyi to slow down.
It’s a pity that Boyi ran away like the wind and didn’t respond to her at all.
Shumei and others finally arrived outside the Zhang family courtyard. The familiar house, the familiar old elm tree, and even the smell was so familiar.
Shumei walked towards the yard excitedly. She wanted to see Xiao Shuangning at first sight.
As she expected, little Shuangning was wearing tattered clothes and had a dirty face, washing clothes with Wu Ju in the yard. Wu Ju had her back to the gate, so the first person to notice Shumei was little Shuangning, who was wiping the sweat off her forehead.
Shumei's tears suddenly burst out.
"Mom, Xiao Shuangning threw down her clothes and rushed towards Shumei."
Shumei also went forward and the two of them hugged each other affectionately.
"Are you daydreaming? What's the point of the mother coming? Are you missing your mother so much that you're crazy?" Wu Ju muttered to herself and turned around.
When she saw Kang Shumei, she was also stunned. She stood up from the stool and the clothes in her hands fell into the basin.
Shumei and Xiao Shuangning hugged each other and cried. Xiao Shuangning even cried out loud. It had been a long time since she had cried so unrestrainedly and loudly.
Shumei stood up holding Xiao Shuangning, wiping her own tears while wiping Xiao Shuangning's tears.
"Ningning, don't cry. Aren't you happy that your mother is back? Why are you crying again? Okay, stop crying. Your face is red from crying, and you won't be pretty anymore."
Xiao Shuangning burst into laughter and kissed Shumei on the face.
Shumei then walked over to Wu Ju, holding little Shuangning in her arms. "Mother, I'm back. Have you been okay while I was away? Thank you for taking care of Ningning. I'm an unfilial daughter-in-law and I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. I apologize."
Shumei bowed deeply to Wu Ju. She was grateful to Wu Ju from the bottom of her heart for not neglecting Xiao Shuangning and always taking care of her for her.
