Yuanyuan took a sip from the bowl and said, "Dear sister, isn't my mom's mung bean soup delicious?"
"Mmm, Auntie's cooking is really good."
Lin Xin'ai nodded vigorously. The mung bean soup was soft, sweet, and delicious!
"If you like it, drink more. We'll take some back to your grandma later."
Cooking for the children is a very happy thing.
Lin Xin'ai quickly waved her hand, "Auntie, no need, Uncle hasn't had any yet."
How could she possibly have the nerve?
Su Jingjing served Yuanyuan another bowl, saying, "Auntie cooked a lot, and besides, your uncle doesn't like sweets."
How could anyone not like sweets?
After finishing her mung bean soup, Lin Xin'ai noticed it was getting late and suggested going home.
"Okay, then Auntie will take you home." She was worried about the little girl being alone on the road.
Lin Xin'ai shook her head, "Auntie, no need, I can go home by myself."
At this moment, An'an stepped forward and said, "Mom, I'll go see her off."
Su Jingjing thought that An'an had also delivered it last time, so she agreed.
As soon as they stepped out of the military area gate, Lin Xin'ai couldn't help but speak.
"Li Cheng'an, this is enough. I can go home by myself."
An'an said in a serious tone, "I'm responsible for taking you home."
The two walked side by side, and seemingly feeling the atmosphere was too awkward, Lin Xin'ai took the initiative to speak, "You know what? I envy you."
"Why?"
An'an was puzzled.
"Because you have such a wonderful mother."
Lin Xin'ai pouted. She hadn't seen her parents for a long time and wondered how they were doing.
An'an smiled happily, "Yes, my mom is really great."
After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "And what about your mom and dad?"
This question had been on his mind for a long time.
"My mom and dad..."
Lin Xin'ai hurriedly lowered her head, her hands instinctively grabbing the braids on both sides of her shoulders.
An'an: "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."
“They all say my parents are capitalist roaders and that they must have been framed, but I’m still young and don’t know how to help them.”
“My parents took me to my maternal grandmother’s house overnight, and then they were sent to the countryside. I don’t know where they are.”
Lin Xin'ai's voice trembled slightly with tears.
"I really miss them."
An'an was at a loss. "Don't cry."
Aside from his younger sister, he has never coaxed any other girls.
"I didn't cry."
Lin Xin'ai wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile.
She felt much better after talking about it.
He tried to comfort you, saying, "They sent you away overnight because they didn't want you to suffer too. You'll be reunited someday."
"Yes, I believe you."
My aunt said that life in the countryside was very hard; they didn't have enough to eat or wear, and they had to work every day. She was worried about my mother's health.
"I've only told you about this, so please don't tell anyone else."
Although she believed Li Cheng'an wasn't a blabbermouth, she still wanted to give him a word of advice.
An'an asked, "Can't I tell my mom and dad either?"
Why do you ask that?
An An must have his reasons.
"Here's the thing, let's see if my dad can find out any information about your parents."
"Really?"
Lin Xin'ai's eyes widened in surprise; she desperately wanted to know news about her parents.
“I’ll go back and talk to my mom. As long as she agrees, there won’t be any problem with my dad.”
"An'an, no matter what the outcome, I want to thank you."
Lin Xin'ai expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
"I'm home, bye-bye."
She waved cheerfully and stepped into the courtyard.
"I'm back."
Su Jingjing heard the noise at the door and peeked out.
"Did you deliver your beloved item home?"
She handed a glass of warm water to An'an.
"Mmm." An'an changed her shoes and took the warm water.
"Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"What's wrong?"
Su Jingjing was tidying her clothes when she heard her son's words and looked at him curiously.
An'an glanced at her younger sister, who was quietly drawing, and after thinking for a moment, pulled Su Jingjing into the room. "Mom, come here for a second."
What's going on? Why are you being so secretive and keeping it from Yuanyuan?
However, the little one was too engrossed in the activity to notice their movements.
Su Jingjing raised an eyebrow. "An'an, what do you want to say to Mommy?"
With a serious expression, An'an recounted the story of Lin Xin'ai's parents.
"Mom, do you think it's possible to ask Dad to look up information about her parents?"
Su Jingjing had vaguely guessed the girl's family background before, but when she actually found out, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Then I'll talk to Dad tonight."
"By the way, you haven't told Mom what the three of you did at noon?"
An'an: "Mom, we're going to collect scraps to sell for money."
"Collecting trash?"
Su Jingjing was incredulous.
"Yes, Lin Xin'ai secretly collects scraps every day to supplement the family income without her grandmother's knowledge."
Su Jingjing was even more shocked.
The door wasn't closed, and Yuanyuan burst in. "Hmph... Mom, brother, what are you whispering about?"
She's angry!
I turned around and couldn't find my mother in the living room.
Su Jingjing picked up her pouting daughter and kissed her rosy cheek.
The child's skin is so delicate, fair and rosy, like a porcelain doll.
“Sweetie, Mommy is asking your brother what you did at noon.”
