Aria looked at her mother's smiling face and pouted. "Mommy! Stop laughing!"
Wendy found her daughter's appearance even more adorable. She smiled and patted her daughter's head. Then, she walked to the well and pressed down on it a few times. Finally, there was clear water flowing out in front of her.
Aria quickly squatted beside the basin to wash the dishes.
Although Aria's hands were also very small at this time, she could wash the dishes quite easily.
Wendy looked at her daughter who was washing the dishes seriously and couldn't help but smile in relief. "You're amazing. I'm so happy."
Hearing her mother's words, Aria's face instantly blushed.
After all, she was only so sensible after being reborn. In the past, she was always reluctant to wash the dishes.
Therefore, she had to make up for it now.
"I'm back!"
When the mother and daughter were washing the dishes together in the courtyard, they heard a deep voice and turned to look at the same time.
Aria was stunned.
"You're back!" Wendy was also very excited. She quickly stood up and walked to the person.
The person was wearing a black coat, dirty pants and shoes. He was very tall and sturdy, but he looked travel-worn. The wrinkles on his face looked a little old. He was carrying a dark blue luggage bag in his hand.
"You've worked hard!" Wendy's eyes looked very gentle, but there was also excitement in them.
The man touched Wendy's cheek and smiled. "Wendy, you've worked hard too!"
After he spoke to Wendy, he saw Aria squatting on the ground beside the well. The smile in his eyes widened.
"Aria, Daddy is back!" he shouted.
At first, Aria was still in a daze, as if she was fixed in place by something. After hearing this, she suddenly came back to her senses. Then, she stood up and ran in front of him, hugging his leg tightly.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Aria shouted out in a hoarse voice.
Tears welled up in her eyes. He was still the same man in her memory, but he was much younger. However, this was her father, the father she had not seen for more than ten years. He had passed away in an accident when she was in university.
Now, she saw him again!
Honestly, this was the happiest thing that had happened to her since her rebirth.
Her father!
Aria hugged her father Justin's leg tightly. "Daddy, I miss you..."
Justin was also stunned when his daughter cried and pounced on him. His daughter had never been like this before.
Justin knew that his daughter was not close to him at all. Perhaps it was because of his bad temper. She would only let Wendy hug her and rarely stick to him. Although he wanted to change this situation, his daughter was already five years old. Her memory had already formed. It was useless even if he wanted to change it.
Therefore, Justin often felt very upset because his daughter was not close to him.
But he didn't expect to receive such treatment from his daughter.
This excited him. He hugged his daughter and said, "Aria, Daddy misses you too!"
Justin was very surprised when he said this. He had never said such a thing before, not even to his wife, because he was used to keeping many things in his heart.
But this time, he blurted it out. However, this was also what he thought in his heart.
Aria was still crying very sadly. She shouted," Daddy, I miss you." She cried until she was out of breath.
Aria's reaction also shocked Wendy. She did not expect her daughter to behave like this.
Wendy curled her lips.
This was indeed a good thing. She knew that although her husband looked strict and cold, he liked this daughter very much.
Most of the people in their village valued boys over girls. Because boys had to carry on the family line, even if they did not favor boys, they still had to have boys.
When Wendy gave birth to her daughter, Justin looked a little disappointed. At that time, she was very worried that her husband would hate her daughter.
But later she found out that her worries were useless because Justin loved her daughter very much. He even washed her diapers himself and often played with her.
It was a pity that his daughter was afraid of this stern-looking father, so Justin had always been very disappointed.
However, her daughter's performance was really good this time.
Wendy thought to herself.
"Alright, Aria is already five years old. She's also very heavy. Don't keep hugging her." Wendy said to her husband, who was still holding her daughter, "You still have a son that you haven't seen!"
Upon hearing Wendy's words, Justin, who had been immersed in his daughter's dependence and affection for him, came back to his senses. He smiled and nodded. "Let's go into the house."
Then, he carried Aria directly to the central room.
Wendy followed behind helplessly.
After entering the house, Aria got down from her father's arms and held her father's hand as they walked towards the big bed. "Daddy, little brother is very cute. Quickly take a look!"
Justin allowed his daughter to hold his hand, pinching her chubby little hand. He felt like he was walking on cotton, and his feet were fluttering.
"This is my son!" Justin looked at the baby on the bed and sighed. Of course, he was also very happy in his heart. After all, he had a successor.
However, the baby was sleeping soundly after eating, so Justin couldn't tease him anymore.
Justin didn't want to disturb his son, so he turned his gaze to his daughter.
"Aria, Daddy bought you a toy." Justin said with a smile, then opened the luggage bag.
Aria squatted at the side, blinking her big eyes as she watched.
Then, she saw her father pull out a teddy bear from the dusty luggage bag. The cream-colored teddy bear was wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, and there was a pink bow tied around its neck. It looked very cute.
"Aria, see if you like it!" Justin opened the plastic bag, took out the teddy bear, and handed it to his daughter.
Aria took the teddy bear and looked at it with red eyes.
This was a toy that her father had given her. It was a toy that she had missed many times. Now, she finally got it again...
