Chapter 149: An’an Is Back
“An’an is back? Really? Let me see…” Yi De the Eldest Brother’s voice came from inside the house.
Shi An’an saw Yi De come out and waved to him with a smile in greeting.
“Oh, it’s real, come out quick, it’s really An’an, and An’an brought back two little girls!” Yi De shouted loudly toward the house.
Instantly, the people inside the house swarmed out, all gathering around Shi An’an.
“Grandma!” Shi Lele saw her own grandma come out and walked forward with a smile to hug her, but…
“An’an, you really worried Grandma to death…” Gao Jin Xiao ignored Shi Lele and went straight to Shi An’an, looking her up and down before finally relaxing.
Shi Lele looked at Grandma, pouting aggrievedly.
“Lele.” An Yun saw her daughter safe and didn’t push forward. She noticed her niece and called out to her, then her eyes lit up because she saw her own eldest daughter again.
“Xin Xin!”
“Mom!” A dependent expression appeared on Shi Anxin’s face as she ran to her mom and hugged her tightly.
An Yun also hugged her daughter tightly, her face full of joy.
“Sigh, kids without a dad or mom are really pitiful.” Shi Lele pitied herself.
“Smack” As Gao Jin Xiao walked over, she heard her little granddaughter’s words and impatiently gave her a slap.
“Ow, Grandma!” Shi Lele turned her head and saw Grandma glaring at her.
“Hehe, Grandma, I missed you so much~~~”
“Hmph, who was just saying they were pitiful? If your parents heard that, they’d grab you and spank your butt!”
“Oh dear, Grandma, I was just feeling emotional…” Seeing Grandma glaring at her again, Shi Lele quickly changed the subject. “I heard Sister An’an say my sister-in-law is pregnant…”
Mentioning her soon-to-be-born great-grandson, Gao Jin Xiao’s expression softened. “Yes, they should be back by now. They went to the orange grove.”
Gao Jin Xiao saw the girl next to her daughter-in-law and walked over. “This… is Xin Xin?”
Shi Anxin immediately stood straight and greeted her politely. “Hello, Grandma. I’m Xin Xin.”
“Oh, Xin Xin, good girl. I heard your uncle say you got first place in the exam. That’s great!” Gao Jin Xiao smiled kindly, then looked at Shi Anxin and said, “But you need to take care of your body. Don’t push yourself too hard. Balance work and rest. If anything happens, we’re here for you, okay!”
Shi Anxin looked at the grandma she’d never met before, a warm feeling surging in her heart. She tried hard to hold back her tears and nodded, saying okay.
An Yun patted her daughter’s shoulder. She knew this daughter of hers was very strong-willed. From childhood, because she knew her own background, to avoid others gossiping, she had forced herself to become stronger. Sigh…
Even though they had talked to her many times, it had never changed her mindset.
Actually, ever since An’an went missing, when she looked at the children around her, she only hoped they could be happy and safe.
Shi An’an finally finished talking to everyone and went to her mom’s side, hugging her tightly.
An Yun gently stroked her daughter’s back and softly scolded her. “You were gone for so long, Mom was worried sick! You can’t leave alone like that again, got it?”
“Mm, got it, Mom.” Feeling her mother’s warm embrace, Shi An’an’s heart finally settled down.
She thought, so the power of family is this great.
Every day she drifted outside, she missed her family!
Finally home, seeing her family, it was like her heart was filled with strength again. So good!
“Where’s your Third Brother? Didn’t he come too?”
As everyone sat together chatting, An Yun suddenly remembered that silly son of hers.
Shi An’an looked at her sister. She didn’t seem to have noticed Third Brother.
Shi Anxin looked helpless. “He’s probably admiring the green plants by the roadside with Sister Ailin.”
Everyone had just been about to ask why the group that came hadn’t returned when they saw aircraft landing one after another.
One person after another got off the aircraft. When the people who came down saw them, they couldn’t help exclaiming one by one.
“General!”
“Yi De?”
“Chang Feng!”
“Xiao Xiao…”
…
Liu Wei and the others saw familiar faces and happily stood up to greet them.
“Huh? Grandpa Li is actually so close with Ling Xi’s grandpa?” Shi Lele cracked sunflower seeds while watching the group ahead.
“I heard Grandpa Li studied to be a chef in school. Maybe that’s related.” Shi An’an guessed.
“By the way, is Grandpa Li’s cooking really that good?” Ling Xi grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and cracked them happily.
“Is it as good as my grandpa’s?”
Shi An’an shook her head. “I haven’t eaten your grandpa’s cooking, so I can’t compare.”
“Sigh, I think it’s because the ingredients are good. No matter the culinary skills, it all tastes good!” Sheng Rong voiced his true feelings.
“Hey, grab fewer! They’re all gone!” Lin Jinmo was peeling sunflower seeds for Shi Anxin when he saw they were gone and couldn’t help shouting.
The others: …………
“Have Xiao Xiao get you some.” Shi An’an looked at Lin Jinmo speechlessly, but enviously eyed the sunflower seed kernels in front of her sister.
Shi Anxin saw her little sister’s gaze and handed over the peeled sunflower seed kernels. “You eat.”
Shi An’an felt Lin Jinmo’s murderous glare from the side and wisely waved her hand to decline.
“No no, I don’t like sunflower seed kernels!” Saying that, Shi An’an quickly cracked one to calm her nerves.
Shi Anxin: …
“Pfft~”
“Hahaha…”
“Goddamn right she doesn’t like sunflower seed kernels, hahaha…”
Sheng Rong and the others looked at Shi An’an’s reaction and burst out laughing.
“Right, I want to stay at the Mushroom House. Are you going?” Shi Lele was still thinking about that Mushroom House.
“It’s so pretty there, super dreamy…”
“I saw it. I saw it on the way here. It really is pretty. I even asked the uncle who brought us. He said no one’s living there for now. I want to stay there too. It’s so cool!” Ling Xi said excitedly.
“I want to go too.” Sheng Rong looked expectant too.
“Then let’s ask Yi De if anyone’s arranged to stay there.” Shi An’an stood up to ask Yi De.
After asking, they learned that it had actually been built long ago, but everyone was reluctant to leave here, so it had been left empty for now. They could stay there freely.
Moreover, the other building complexes were under construction too. They’d designed lots of types of houses, so pretty. The finished products would be ready soon.
The group that came had all seen that cute cluster of buildings on the way and said they wanted to stay!
This idea perfectly solved their housing problem. Everyone happily flew back to the Mushroom House to pick houses.
Shi An’an, for the evening gathering meal for everyone, was following the menu given by Grandpa Li and Grandpa Ling to ripen vegetables and fruits.
