Li Qianqian shrank her neck, feeling somewhat powerless when it came to feeding the dog.
He Tiantian asked Li Qianqian to familiarize herself with the house, as she had just returned and there were still many things to tidy up.
Xiao Lan and Xiao Lü warmly settled Li Qianqian in and poured her some tea.
Inside the room, only Chen was playing with Xiao Mingzhu. He Tiantian tidied up her things and put her clothes in the wardrobe.
"They all went to the back of the house to watch the pig being slaughtered, why didn't you go?" Chen asked casually.
He Tiantian automatically imagined the bloody scene of slaughtering pigs and quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, that's too scary."
It's fine to let her eat meat, but to let her watch a pig being slaughtered... the pig is so pitiful, she's afraid she won't be able to hold back her tears.
Chen smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? When you were a child in Peach Blossom Village, you would always go and watch whenever someone slaughtered a pig."
In times of poverty, who wouldn't be interested in meat? Even the family dog couldn't resist going to look.
“Ignorance is bliss. I never thought of these things when I was a child. Luckily, I’ve forgotten them all now.” He Tiantian also shrank her neck.
She was afraid she would have nightmares at night.
Looking at He Tiantian's busy figure, Chen couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
"Are you... really my daughter?"
These words had been buried in Chen's heart for far too long. During the time she spent with her daughter at the restaurant, she discovered how much her daughter had changed.
There's no trace of the past, and I seem to have forgotten many things from before.
He Tiantian's back stiffened. She closed the wardrobe door and came to stand in front of Chen Shi.
She sighed softly, and said with utmost seriousness, "Oh... Mother, do you see anything different about me? Feel it."
As she spoke, she took Chen's hand and pinched it against her own face.
Mrs. Chen was amused by her daughter's serious expression. "Go away, you're so old, why are you still like this? I just feel that my daughter has changed, she's not the same as before. I'm just feeling a bit sentimental."
He Tiantian smiled coquettishly, "Then, Mother, do you prefer the old me or the current me?"
"I like them both." Madam Chen held He Tiantian's hand affectionately. "I think you're doing very well now, very capable. If this happened to any other woman, she wouldn't have lived as brilliantly as you."
For the first time, the mother and daughter sat down quietly, wanting to have a private conversation.
But before they could chat for long, the mournful squeals of pigs and sheep came from outside.
The voice seemed to be right next to their ears, making them hesitant to listen.
Chen quickly covered Xiao Mingzhu's ears, and He Tiantian also covered her own ears.
Li Qianqian, Zhao Xiaolan, and Zhao Xiaolü also hid in the house, too afraid to go out.
"Sister Qianqian, don't be afraid. Although the pig's squeals are awful, the braised pork is delicious!" Zhao Xiaolan explained loudly while covering her ears.
