Chapter 105: Chapter 103: Arrival, a Lively Family

Xiao Chenguang looked at the person, finding them more and more familiar.

Isn’t this the person on the wanted poster?

The military district is eager to turn the grasslands upside down, yet hasn’t found this person.

“You guys…”

Wen Ran jumped off the cart with a ladle and complained, “Don’t mention it. We were really unlucky today. We got scammed right after getting off the train. If it weren’t for our quick wits, heh heh…”

Just wait and see.

Then she casually stuffed the ladle into Hongguo’s hands.

Oh my, carrying it all the way, it was exhausting.

Mrs. Xiao calmed down for a moment, grabbing her son, “This time, it’s all thanks to Xiao Wen. If it weren’t for her, sob sob, who knows what fate our whole family would have met.”

Seeing that they were about to catch up outside, Wen Ran was at a loss.

Maybe the baby Minmin in the swaddle sensed Wen Ran’s helplessness and suddenly opened her mouth and let out a cry.

This tender voice caused everyone’s gaze to fall on Minmin.

Mrs. Xiao fondly looked at the child, wanted to hold her, but withdrew her hands.

“Mom?”

Xiao Chenyue, confused, heard Mrs. Xiao explain proactively, “Oh, we just got off the train, we’re dirty, and Minmin is clean. We don’t want to dirty her.”

Moreover, there were a few people coughing on the train.

If adults get sick, they can endure a bit. If a child gets sick, we feel heartbroken and anxious.

“Let’s go,” Xiao Chenguang handed the child to Xiao Chenyue, “Let’s go home, it’s cold outside, don’t just stand around.”

Xiao Chenye raised an eyebrow, “What about these people?”

Xiao Chenguang succinctly said, “I’ll call the higher-ups right now. Don’t worry, they’ll definitely be properly placed.”

Seeing this, Wen Ran chimed in, “What about the things we brought? They’re all confiscated.”

Her eyes sparkled, “Speaking of which, we’ve rid the people of a threat, so please, can you talk to the higher-ups and see if we can keep some of the stuff?”

The more stuff we have, the more eager we’ll be when encountering such things next time.

If we keep the sheep, we’ll make soup; if we keep the cows, we’ll make jerky; if we keep the horses…

We’ll ride them and roam all over the grasslands!

She’s not picky.

“Don’t worry,” Xiao Chenguang said, looking at his parents’ backs, and even Xiao Chenyue…

They were all saved by Wen Ran.

He solemnly bowed to Wen Ran, “Wen Ran, thank you so much. I know that words alone are too light. I…”

Wen Ran also replied earnestly, “Third Brother, saying such things to me now is just seeing me as an outsider.

Since I came to the countryside, Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao have taken good care of me, as well as Chenye and Chenxing. If you say those words again, I really might get angry.”

Xiao Chenguang smiled, his eyes shimmering with light, “Yes!”

Wen Ran joked, “Next up, Hongguo and I will still be freeloading here, eating and drinking! By then, Third Brother, don’t be cried by us eating too much!”

With that, she paused, tugging Hongguo, “Almost forgot, let me introduce you. This is Wen Hongguo, my little sister.”

“Third Brother!”

Hongguo puffed out her chest and raised her head, holding the ladle heroically.

Though small and thin, she had to show the aura of a big sister and not let others look down on her sister.

“Hello, Hongguo.”

After speaking, Xiao Chenguang smiled, “You know, your sister really does resemble you a bit.”

Wen Ran was stunned for a moment, then proudly said, “Of course! She’s my sister!”

Xiao Chenguang shook his head and laughed silently.

Hongguo’s figure gradually overlapped with Wen Ran when they first met.

Back then, when there was a train accident, it was also her running around with a ladle, rescuing people at the scene.

Though they hadn’t seen each other for two or three months, Wen Ran seemed to have changed and yet stayed the same.

However, from the beginning, she has always been that warm little sun.

After finishing the conversation, Wen Ran took Hongguo to catch up with the Xiao Family’s pace, leaving the Xiao Family Brothers behind.

Xiao Chenye: “…?”

What, just leaving like that?

Not even saying a word to him?

He visibly slumped.

Then, Wen Ran paused her steps, seemingly remembering something, turned around, and shouted in a crisp voice, “Xiao Chenye! Hurry up, we’re waiting for you to eat!”

In an instant.

It’s like a sudden rain after a long drought, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Xiao Chenye felt he could soon achieve the three great joys in life.

Just like spring seedlings nourished by rain, revived with just one sentence.

He loves eating!

Witnessing everything, Xiao Chenguang: “…”

Silently closing his eyes, he didn’t have such a shameless brother.

The place where Xiao Chenyue lives isn’t small, though not as big as the Xiao Family’s, it’s quite cozy, showing the hostess’s attentiveness everywhere.

The group arrived early, and hot water hadn’t been boiled yet. Xiao Chenyue chirped happily, “Dad, Mom, are you hungry?”

“Oh no, not hungry,” Mrs. Xiao said with a kindly face, eagerly watching her little granddaughter, “Don’t make food, quickly boil some hot water so we can bathe and hold the child.”

“Yes, yes,” Mr. Xiao also nodded eagerly, even starting to complain, “You girl, you used to be so smart, why are you so clueless now, not attentive at all!”

Xiao Chenyue: “…”

She helplessly said, “Look at all your cheeky faces, having a granddaughter means you can’t even see your daughter anymore.”

“Hehehe,” Mr. Xiao laughed so widely his teeth were showing, “Go ahead.”

“Alrighty.”

Feeling bored, Wen Ran followed them out, “Second Sister, is there anything I can help you with?”

“No, I can handle it myself. You’ve had a long journey, you should rest.”

“It’s alright.”

She couldn’t relax much with her excitement.

After looking around, Wen Ran picked up an axe, “I’ll chop some firewood for you.”

“Sure.”

Hongguo didn’t have much strength, so she stayed like a little shadow, following every step.

She provided meticulous care, occasionally picking up and stacking firewood, and checking in with concern if her sister felt tired, even wiping her sweat off.

Xiao Chenyue: “…”

For some reason, watching was just amusing.

Hot water was boiled pot after pot, and everyone took turns bathing, which took three hours to complete.

Time flew by, night fell, and the room was filled with laughter, with Mr. and Mrs. Xiao entertaining Minmin, making her giggle.

“Yue’er, how’s it going? Are you adapting well to the life here?”

“It’s great!” Xiao Chenyue said while stirring the dishes, “I have money on hand, and with Chenguang serving on the frontier, the villagers here have been taking good care of me, except for I’m not used to the cold weather here.

Everything else is perfect.”

Partly sharing the good and hiding the bad, but the other part…

Xiao Chenyue indeed felt that her current life was pretty good; she was deeply grateful. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help glancing gratefully at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran didn’t notice, as she was enjoying Hongguo’s massage.

“Sis, how is it? Feels good?”

Wen Ran squinted her eyes, “Not bad, you’ve got some skills here.”

Hongguo chuckled, “I learned it from Sister Xiao Fang.”

“Her?”

“Yes, Sister Xiao Fang said this technique has been passed down in her family, it’s good for relieving fatigue and loosening the muscles!”

Bringing it up, Hongguo seemed to speak eloquently, rattling off those professional terms that made Wen Ran dizzy.

She thought, maybe, she could send Hongguo to learn medicine in the future?

This child seemed to have talent.

Thinking about it, Wen Ran couldn’t help but sigh. Oh my, raising a child really does elevate one’s mindset.

Who could have thought!

She started worrying about someone else’s future too.
