On the day Xie returned home, Jin Nian got up half an hour earlier than usual, and after greeting the old lady, she couldn't wait to wait at the gate, looking at the end of the road from time to time.

The morning light danced on her face, just like her mood at the moment, cheerful and warm.

Since falling into the water, Mama Lin saw her heartfelt joy for the first time, so she smiled and said, "Madame would be very happy if she knew that Miss came to wait for her early in the morning." ”

This is natural, speaking of which, it has been nearly two months since her mother returned to Huai'an, but for her, this meeting is more like a reunion after a long absence.

She said with some emotion: "I don't know if my mother is fat or thin?" ”

Mama Lin thought she was childish again, so she smiled and said, "The carriage is tired, I think I will lose weight." "Huai'an Mansion is also five or six days away from Yangzhou Mansion by carriage, and no matter how good the foundation is, it will be slimmed down.

"It's okay to lose weight, just be safe!" Afraid of the deep dew on the road, my mother was in a hurry and accidentally contracted the wind cold.

She was startled by this thought of herself, and hurriedly scolded herself in her heart.

Until nearly noon, when Jin Nian's back was soaked with sweat and his stomach began to sound empty, five or six green oilcloth carriages appeared on the other side of Zhengdong Street, which were now being escorted by the nursing home and were heading towards the gate of Sufu.

The tip of Jin Nian's nose was a little sour, and she looked at her mother who got off the carriage in a daze.

Xie Shi was wearing a begonia dark pattern woven cotton jacket and combing a falling horse bun, Xu was in a hurry, and her face was a little pale at the moment.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Jin Nian looking at her in a daze, her heart softened, and she called softly: "Sister Nian." ”

The long-lost Sister Nian was so soft that Su Jinnian's heart couldn't stop her tears, and she threw herself into Xie's arms regardless of it: "Mother, I miss you so much." ”

She was buried in her mother's arms, greedily inhaling the reassuring breath of Xie's body.

Xie patted his daughter on the back: "Okay, isn't my mother back, such a big person will return Jin Doudou, and he is not afraid of people's jokes." ”

As soon as she said this, Jin Nian cried even more, no matter how old she was, in her mother's eyes, she would always be just a child, even if she closed her eyes, she couldn't worry about her.

When she cried like this, Xie Shi was frightened, she hurriedly straightened her daughter's shoulders and looked at her carefully: "Sister Nian, what's wrong with you, but what grievances have you suffered?" ”

I have been greatly wronged, but how can I tell my mother about this? Where to start? Maybe my mother will be even more worried.

She had no choice but to look at Xie Shi with teary eyes, and shook her head, and a thousand words finally turned into a whimpering choked sound.

Xie Shi thought that she would not take her daughter back when she returned to Huai'an, and her daughter felt wronged, she said with pity: "Next time my mother will not leave for so long, my mother will promise you that Sister Nian will have to believe in her mother!" ”

Looking at her mother's sworn appearance, most of the sadness in Jin Nian's heart disappeared, and she burst into tears and smiled: "Mother, don't leave me again!" ”。

Seeing that his daughter was smiling, Xie Shi also put his mind at ease, took out a handkerchief from his wide sleeve to wipe her crying little face clean, and then turned his head and ordered: "Brother Ming, you put the things back in the room first, and then come to your mother's room, let's go and say hello to your grandmother together!" ”

I just cried, and I almost forgot about my brother! Su Jinnian looked embarrassedly at the front of the green oil cloth carriage, and saw her own brother Su Ziming looking at her calmly, neither teasing her nor seeing her joy.

When he saw her coming, he showed a faint smile and shouted softly, "Sister." ”

Although there is still childishness in his voice, there is no wave, and his younger brother, who is just ten years old, is already so young and old.

Su Jinnian was a little surprised, after her mother went in her previous life, she was very close to her younger brother, and her younger brother at that time was always faint and said little, she thought that it was because her mother went to hit him too hard, but now it seems that her younger brother seems to be born like this.

"Brother Ming'er will go back to the room to freshen up first, and it will not be too late for your sister and brother to come to Fuhuayuan to chat." Xie Shi urged Su Ziming to leave, and said to his mother beside him: "Mother Du, you separate the young master's luggage and send it to the young master's room." ”

After Xie finished arranging, he took his daughter's hand: "Let's go, go back to Fuhuayuan with my mother." ”

When he learned that his mother had returned from his journey, Jin Nian had already ordered someone to clean the courtyard of his mother and younger brother, remove the carpets with thick screens, replace them with light embroidered screens, and replace the decorations on the Duobao Pavilion with brightly colored ones.

When Xie Shi entered the door, he immediately liked it: "Sister Nian still has vision, and after doing this, the room is a lot brighter." "These bright colors make people feel good when they look at them.

Originally, she was worried that her mother would not like her decorations, but now she was embarrassed to hear her mother's praise: "Mother doesn't blame her daughter for asserting her own opinions." ”

The mother and daughter sat down at the desk, and Jin Nian took Xie's hand and asked hurriedly, "My mother has been in Huai'an for so long, is she okay?" She looked at her as she spoke, not letting go of any subtle expression on Xie's face.

The nervous movements made Xie Shi inexplicable, she shook her daughter's little hand back, and asked with some confusion: "Mother is good, what is there to hide from Sister Nian?" As she spoke, she was about to get up and call Mama Lin in for questioning.

At this moment, Jin Nian was completely relieved, and hurriedly comforted Xie Shi and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my mother's face is a little pale, and I'm worried about whether my mother is sick, thinking that tomorrow I will invite Dr. Lin into the house to give my mother a safe pulse, and let the doctor prescribe some medicine to replenish qi." ”

"You've said it, my mother can still refuse." Xie smiled brightly, only left for more than two months, and when she came back, she found that her daughter was much more sensible, which made her feel that the grievances she had suffered over the years were nothing.

Jin Nian asked his father: "Is my father okay in Huai'an?" "My father Huai'an has been in office for five years, but he came back once two years ago, but Jin Nian hasn't seen his father for a long time.

Xie Shi feigned anger and said: "I only know that I care about your father, why don't I see that you care about your grandparents and uncles?" ”

Jin Nian grinned, "Isn't this going to ask?" Mother, can't you even be jealous of your father? "After all, she hadn't seen her grandfather for four or five years, how could she not want to?

I still remember that when she was young, she flipped through books in her grandfather's study, holding his "Southwest Geographical Atlas" and refused to let go, but her grandfather was helpless, and finally agreed to give her the book!

However, seeing that her mother said that her father was still in the mood to joke with her, her parents should have reconciled, right?

Jin Nian thought about finding an opportunity to ask Du's mother.

Xie Shi was already amused by her words, she rubbed her daughter's head and smiled, and in the end, the mother and daughter laughed together.

While she was smiling, Qinglian, the eldest girl beside the Xie family, came in and said, "Madam, the fifth lady is here." ”
