Chapter 130 Returning to Xiao Family Village
On the day they left, Xiao Qinian and Xiao Siyu saw them off together.
Because they were carrying a lot of things, as well as maids and attendants, there were a total of four carriages. Xiao Qinian was worried about their safety on the road, so he arranged for several people who knew martial arts to accompany them.
"Wife, Yue'er, you must be careful on the road," Xiao Qinian said, still somewhat worried.
"Don't worry, we brought so many people with us, it's very safe," Lin Qin reassured her.
“Yes, Father, don’t worry, I will definitely protect Mother well,” Xiao Siyue patted her chest and promised.
Everyone was amused by Xiao Siyue's words.
"You're protecting your mother? With your small frame like that?" Xiao Siyu said with a smile, pinching Xiao Siyue's cheek.
"Ah! Brother, let me go!" Xiao Siyue was furious with Xiao Siyu.
"Hehe, I won't let go." Xiao Siyu even deliberately pinched Xiao Siyue's nose with his other hand.
"Father, look at my brother." Xiao Siyue had no choice but to ask Xiao Qinian for help.
"Ahem, Siyu, let go of your sister." Xiao Qinian coughed lightly, covering his mouth with his hand, to hide his amusement.
Xiao Siyu pinched Xiao Siyue's cheek again before letting go.
Xiao Siyue rubbed her cheek, and in anger, she stepped on Xiao Siyu's foot. She couldn't have this brother anymore; he was always bullying her.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go." Lin Qin said after seeing that the brother and sister had finished arguing.
"Yes, Mother, let's go." Xiao Siyue and Lin Qin boarded the carriage and headed out of the city, watched by Xiao Qinian and his son.
The carriages traveled in a grand procession and finally returned to Xiaojia Village half a month later.
When they returned, it was in the afternoon, so they ran into many villagers.
The children who were playing on the road had already run to the Xiao family to deliver the news.
When Lin Qin and Xiao Siyue saw the villagers, they got off the carriage and walked home with them.
"Xiaoqin, it's been a long time since you've been back?" a woman said warmly to Lin Qin.
"Yes, Auntie, the road is too far, and my husband is busy with official duties, so it has been delayed until now. How is everything at home, Auntie?" Lin Qin responded warmly.
"Great, great, all thanks to your family. We're living a much better life now."
The woman's voice was filled with happiness, and the wrinkles on her face were gathered together from laughing so happily.
Xiao Siyue was touched by this scene. She recognized the woman; she was one of the people who had been resettled in Xiaojia Village due to the disaster.
She still remembers that time when she saw them; everyone looked numb, had lost hope in life, and had no vitality whatsoever.
He used to be sallow and thin, looking withered and emaciated. But now, he's full of energy and even looks slightly plump because he's eating well.
Xiao Siyue thought, this is what ordinary people should be like.
But then I realized that this was just Xiaojia Village; people in other places were still struggling to survive.
She must work hard to ensure that the people live happily, rather than struggling to survive.
When the village chief heard what the villagers were saying, he rushed over. Not seeing Xiao Qinian, he asked a question.
"Xiaoqin, you're back. Hasn't Qinian come back?"
"Uncle Village Chief, my husband is too busy with official duties to come back, so Yue'er and I came back to see our family," Lin Qin explained.
"Okay, then you should go back quickly, your parents are at home."
"Well then, uncles and aunts, we'll be going now." Lin Qin said to the enthusiastic villagers and headed home.
Before they even reached the front door, Grandpa Xiao and everyone else in the family had already come out.
"Grandpa, Grandma!" Xiao Siyue happily rushed over and threw herself into Old Lady Xiao's arms.
"Oh, my precious granddaughter, I've missed you so much!" Old Mrs. Xiao hugged her beloved granddaughter, tears streaming down her face.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!" Xiao Siyue's eyes were also filled with tears. Since she was born, she had never been away from Grandma Xiao for so long.
Grandpa Xiao watched Xiao Siyue from the side. Although he didn't show his emotions as openly as his wife, his excited eyes still revealed his joy at the moment.
"Grandpa, do you miss me?" Xiao Siyue came out of Old Mrs. Xiao's arms and then snuggled into Old Master Xiao's arms, acting coquettishly.
"Yes, yes, of course I miss my Yue'er! Let Grandpa see if Yue'er has grown taller!" Grandpa Xiao hugged Xiao Siyue, patted her head, and compared her to himself.
"Our Yue'er has indeed grown taller, she's already up to Grandpa's chest. It seems Yue'er has been eating well this year." Grandpa Xiao was very happy and even wanted to pick up Xiao Siyue and weigh her to see if she had gotten any heavier.
"Hehe, that's for sure, I can eat a bowl of rice now." Xiao Siyue chuckled. She is 9 years old now and is probably about 1.4 meters tall.
The Xiao family members are all tall, and the Lin family members are also quite tall. If nothing unexpected happens, she will also grow up to be a tall and beautiful woman, after all, the genes are there.
After the grandfather and granddaughter finished speaking, Xiao Siyue turned her attention to the people behind them. Lin Qin had already started chatting with her two sisters-in-law.
The eldest sister-in-law stood to the side with her child, listening.
This child is the only child of the fourth generation of the Xiao family, the child of Xiao Siqi and Qu Yin, and will soon be three years old.
The name was given by Grandpa Xiao; it is Xiao Yichen, and his nickname is Chenchen.
Xiao Siyue turned her gaze to the child, who was holding her sister-in-law Qu Yin's hand and looking at Xiao Siyue with a curious expression.
Xiao Siyue waved to the child: "Chenchen, my baby, come here and let Auntie hold you."
Chenchen looked at his beautiful aunt waving at him. Although she was a little unfamiliar with him, he liked her very much and tugged at his mother's hand.
Qu Yin understood her son's thoughts and said, "Go on, that's your aunt, the aunt I often tell you about. Go over and let your aunt give you a hug."
Upon hearing this, the little one happily rushed into Xiao Siyue's arms.
When Xiao Siyue left last year, the little guy was just over a year old and had just learned to walk. Now, a year later, he is much more stable.
Xiao Siyue squatted down and hugged the little guy in her arms. He was soft and had a milky smell. Xiao Siyue buried her head in the little guy's shoulder and took a deep breath.
The little guy wasn't shy at all and started giggling.
“Chenchen, my little darling, call me Auntie,” Xiao Siyue raised her hand and gently pinched the little guy’s cheek.
No wonder Xiao Siyu always likes to pinch his own face; a child's face is indeed very tender and feels amazing.
The little guy wasn't angry when his cheek was pinched. Instead, he called out to Xiao Siyue, "Auntie, Auntie, you're so pretty! Chenchen likes Auntie so much!"
Xiao Siyue was overjoyed by the little guy's sweet voice; he was so cute that she kissed him on the cheek.
The little one paused for a moment, then pointed to his left cheek and said, "Here, Auntie, I want a kiss here too."
Xiao Siyue couldn't refuse, so she quickly kissed him on the left cheek.
After being kissed, the little one giggled and cried, wanting to kiss his aunt too.
Xiao Siyue received two more soft, sweet kisses from the little guy.
