Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang returned home to find Xu Duoyu and Xu Zhicheng immediately running over, excitedly circling around Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang.
To be precise, they were circling around Xu Zhiqiang, who was carrying things.
Xu Niannian scooped up Xu Duoyu in her arms and kissed her, making Duoyu shyly bury her face in Xu Niannian's shoulder, causing Niannian to burst into hearty laughter.
Xu Dawei was drawing water when he saw Xu Niannian come back, his eyes curving into smiles: "Baby Nian is back."
"Mhm," Xu Niannian nodded vigorously. "Dad, where's mom?"
No sooner had she spoken than Yang Cuihua and Ding Guihua came out of the house.
At that moment, Yang Cuihua was smiling happily, holding Ding Guihua by the hand and repeatedly calling her "Sister Ding."
Xu Niannian looked confused. Was this her mother?
Ding Guihua spotted Xu Niannian and greeted her warmly, leaving Niannian feeling awkward.
