PDLP Chapter 275 Reunion
Chapter 275 Reunion
The closer we get to the capital.
Lu Qingyao became increasingly uneasy.
It's a very strange feeling.
I'm actually starting to look forward to it.
Although she didn't particularly like Beijing, she was born here and had lived here for over a decade.
It seems they really do consider this their hometown.
Or perhaps her family's old house is here, along with the relatives she is about to meet.
I wonder if my mother and sisters-in-law have arrived in the capital yet?
However, after being away from the capital for more than three years, there is one place she most wants to go to now.
The carriage took a detour and stopped outside the pine and cypress forest.
The Jiang brothers actually wanted to go and take a look, but they stopped outside the woods.
Lu Qingyao looked into the depths of the woods. "Feng'er, Yan'er, let's stay here. Don't disturb your sister."
Jiang Miaomiao felt that this place was somewhat familiar, and she had a vague guess in her mind.
Could this be the place where Mother's biological daughter is buried?
However, Mother and Brother simply prayed quietly outside the woods, burning paper money, and stayed there for quite a while.
Actually, it was the Ghost Festival a few days ago.
My mother released many water lanterns and burned many paper ingots, especially on a barren hill.
My second brother said that their relatives are buried there.
Jiang Miaomiao was still a little girl and couldn't go to those places, so she could only stay in the car with Xi'er and watch from afar.
Ancient people were very superstitious and believed in ghosts and gods; it could be said that they believed in all kinds of deities.
So they stayed in the inn for a few days around the Ghost Festival and didn't rush to travel.
Her mother wouldn't let her leave the room at all; she was practically going stir-crazy.
But even now that we're out, we can only stay in the car.
Fortunately, we'll be arriving in the capital soon.
After the worship ceremony, we continued our journey.
The carriage stopped when it passed the Shili Pavilion outside the city.
Little Miaomiao, who was half asleep, was woken up by an itch. She felt as if bugs were crawling on her face and something was scratching her.
Her first thought was something like an insect or a centipede.
Without even opening her eyes, she screamed, then sat up with her eyes closed, flailing her arms and legs wildly.
I think I hit something.
When I opened my eyes, it wasn't a centipede.
It was a rather handsome little boy, about five or six years old, who was covering his forehead and laughing heartily at her.
When Jiang Miaomiao saw the grass in his hand, she understood why her face had been itchy.
Looks like a naughty, mischievous kid.
Mother said that Aunt Jiangyue would meet them at Shili Pavilion outside the city, so this boy must be Aunt Jiangyue's youngest son.
Jiang Miaomiao decided to tease him, so she took a leaf from the book and put it in his mouth.
Having nothing to do these past few days, she collected quite a few leaf specimens.
"What did you give me to eat?" Yan Cheng'an quickly took it out and looked at it, without getting angry.
Instead, they stared at her.
Jiang Miaomiao also looked at him. The little boy was dressed very elegantly, in fine clothes, and was clean and tidy. He must have been dressed up by his mother before coming. He also had a small gold lock on his chest. His neck was very white, but the exposed skin was not very white.
It looks like it got tanned.
As the little boy watched, he started pinching her cheeks.
He didn't know his own strength and pinched her a little too hard.
Jiang Miaomiao slapped his hand away, pouting, "You can't pinch my cheek, you know men and women shouldn't touch each other, right?"
This amused the parents who had just entered the carriage.
Aunt Jiang Yue reached out and pinched her son's ear, warning, "Don't bully your sister, or I'll beat you up."
Yan Cheng'an nodded and said "Oh".
"Miaomiao, this is your brother Cheng'an. If he bullies you, tell your aunt, and your aunt will beat him up for you." Mu Jiangyue hugged the little girl tightly.
Huh! The little guy has gained weight again.
However, she does look taller and stronger, and her baby fat has gradually disappeared. Her little hands and legs are also very firm, but her little belly is still round and bulging.
It seems I ate quite a bit before bed, and I still love to eat as much as before.
Jiang Miaomiao thought her aunt was really strange.
He pinched and touched her here and there, making her blush.
Yan Cheng'an was curious and wanted to touch it, but her mother slapped her away, saying, "Didn't you hear what Miao Miao said? Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
Yan Cheng'an rubbed his hands, still unwilling to give up, and pointed to Jiang Miaomiao's sleeve, "There's something dirty on her clothes."
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Looking down, I saw it was a pastry I'd sneaked a bite of before my nap, and I'd accidentally gotten crumbs on it.
Somewhat embarrassing.
I reached out and swatted it away myself.
It seems that the little boy in front of me is Aunt Jiang Yue's child, and I've heard that he's quite mischievous.
This is exactly the mischievous age for little boys.
I guess her personality is just like her aunt's.
Jiang Miaomiao doesn't actually like playing with other children her age, and it's impossible for them to really play together.
She prefers playing with her brothers.
But the child seemed to like her quite a bit, and on the way back, he sat quietly next to her.
They fed her snacks one minute and dried fruit the next.
Mu Jiangyue was surprised to see her son so well-behaved, and her gaze softened a bit when she looked at him.
“Jiang Yue, why don’t you give Cheng An a little sister? Look how much he likes her,” Lu Qingyao teased.
My friend said that Xiao Cheng'an is naughty, but she seems quite nice. She even knows how to take care of Miao Miao, feeding her and wiping her mouth.
Mu Jiangyue looked at the two children with a smile, "I think Cheng'an doesn't want a younger sister, he just likes your Miaomiao. Why don't we arrange a marriage between them?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Jiang Miaomiao almost choked to death.
Good heavens! She's only a few years old, why are we already arranging a marriage for her?
Is this even allowed to live?
In the years that followed, everyone who saw her would say: This is Yan Cheng'an's fiancée.
She wouldn't want that. What if he grew up to be ugly, or fell in love with someone else?
Then she would become a laughing stock.
“No, Aunt, my sister won’t get married in the future; she’ll have to find a husband who will live with her family.” Jiang Zifeng suddenly lifted the curtain and poked his head in to say.
Jiang Miaomiao thought this reason for refusing was good.
I'm so touched. My brother really loves her and doesn't want her to get married.
