Chapter 336: The Reunion

Translator: Lonelytree
After the mountain contract was settled, it was harvest time for the peanuts and soybeans.
However, the thing that made the Xiao Family more excited was the fact that Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao, Uncle Xiao, and the others had returned to Taoyuan Village.
About ten years ago, Xiao Lingyu’s eldest uncle, Xiao Jingyang, left the village to do business outside. His business flourished, and his family grew. Grandpa and Grandma Xiao moved to live with him.
They would come back every year for Lunar New Year. This was Grandpa and Grandma Xiao’s intention. The family had to be together for the new year.
This year, their eldest grandson, Xiao Lingye, was admitted to Imperial University and was the top scorer in science in City Z.
This was a joyous occasion for the Xiao family. No matter how busy they were, they would rush back for the graduation banquet.
since many people were coming back, Mother Xiao had been cleaning the old houses of Xiao Lingyu’s eldest uncle and second uncle since a few days ago. The blankets and the like had been washed and dried.
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao would live in the ancestral home. The elders were nostalgic.
Although it was an old house, Xiao Zhengyang and his brothers had renovated it so that it looked brand new.
“As expected of Xiao Baotou’s grandson, Ye ‘Er, you’ve done well!” In the courtyard of the Xiao family, an old man in his seventies was praising his grandson.
Although the old man looked a little haggard, his expression was full of vigor. One couldn’t tell that he had just taken a long trip.
“He’s not only your grandson!” An amiable-looking old lady beside him said with a smile, “Xiao Ye, you’re really great, but don’t be arrogant. You need to keep working hard. Do you understand?”
‘When Xiao Lingye saw his grandparents, his uncle, and the others, he was very happy.
He nodded and said, “Of course, Grandma!”
Eldest Uncle Xiao, Xiao Jingyang, also patted his shoulder happily and said, “Ye ‘Er, you’ve made us proud. The Xiao Family will rely on you in the future!”
Xiao Lingye touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, “Uncle, isn’t this burden too heavy?”
Uncle Xiao’s expression changed, and he said, “What’s so heavy about it? You’re the eldest grandson of the Xiao Family, so you have to bear this burden!”
‘When he said this, Uncle Xiao’s expression darkened and revealed some worry. Although this disappeared in a flash, Xiao Lingyu still noticed it.
Xiao Zhengyang smiled and said
ig Brother, the first thing you came back to do is to scare Ye ‘Er. Everyone in the Xiao Family is great. We will all make the family great!”
At this moment, Xiao Mingyang, said with a smile, “Eldest Brother, Ye ‘Er has already made us proud.
“Did you ever think one of us would get into Imperial University? I heard that before Ye ‘Er, it has been decades since someone from our county has gotten into Imperial University. Imperial University is the number one university in China. There are at least several million students taking the test, but only
two to three thousand students will be accepted by Imperial University. Therefore, Ye ‘Er has already made us incredibly proud!”
“Fourth brother is right,” Eldest Aunt, Yang Liu, smiled, “Ye ‘Er, don’t feel too burdened in your heart. Your uncle only wants the best for you but don’t feel too pressured.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Yes, eldest aunt.”
Xiao Lingyu looked around and asked with confusion, “Eldest Uncle, Auntie, where is Yun ‘Er?”
Yun ‘Er was Xiao Jingyang and Yang Liu’s eldest daughter, Xiao Lingyun.
Xiao Lingyun was one year younger than Xiao Lingyu.
Although Xiao Jingyang and Yang Liu married early, they did not have children for several years after their marriage. They had their bodies checked. It was revealed that Yang Liu had a hard time carrying a child. However, the Xiao Family was kind and didn’t make things difficult for Yang Liu.
In fact, Grandma Xiao took her eldest daughter-in-law to see an old Chinese doctor. The doctor prescribed medicine for Yang Liu to moderate her body. A year later, Yang Liu gave birth to her first child, Xiao Lingyun.
During this period, Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying got married. They instantly had Xiao Lingyu. Therefore, even though Xiao Jingyang married earlier than Xiao Zhengyang, their first daughters were not that far in age.
After Yang Liu had Xiao Lingyun, the second year, she gave birth to another daughter, Xiao Lingling.
However, when Xiao Lingling was seven months old, she suddenly had a high fever.
At the time, Taoyuan Village still didn’t have a paved road. When they arrived at Xing An Town in the ox cart, the girl’s fever had already reached 41 degrees.
However, the town hospital did not have the ability to treat a child’s high fever. They told them to move to the county hospital.
However, it was the middle of the night, and they didn’t have a car. Eventually, they got a kind town bus driver to help them. He drove them to Xing Yin County. Unfortunately, it was already too late when they arrived at the hospital. Xiao Lingling had died from a high fever.
This was always a sore point for the Xiao Family.
At that time, Xiao Lingyu was not even three years old yet. However, whenever the Xiao Family mentioned this, there would be immense sadness in their eyes.
After that, Yang Liu didn’t have any more children, so Xiao Lingyun was their only daughter.
The main reason Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao left Taoyuan Village was their granddaughter, Xiao Lingyun.
After Xiao Lingyun graduated from high school, she joined a nursing school.
Xiao Jingyang and his wife moved to the city where their daughter studied. They got up early and worked late opening a fruit stall. They were too busy to look after their daughter.
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao felt sorry for their granddaughter, so they went over together and helped their eldest son take care of their granddaughter. Plus, they would also help out at the stall.
After Xiao Lingyun graduated, she was assigned to another county hospital as an intern nurse.
After the internship ended, she stayed in that hospital as an official nurse.
She had the conditions to move to a better city, but during her internship, she was pursued by a young doctor. When Xiao Lingyun first joined the hospital, she was only eighteen. She was at her prime.
The doctor who pursued her was young, handsome, and charming. He was seven years older than her. Plus, his father was the deputy director of the county hospital. However, the thing that really drew Xiao Lingyun to the man was his humor. He would always make her laugh.
Xiao Lingyun had the good genes of the Xiao Family. Her skin was fair, and she was beautiful. When she was in nursing school, people were already impressed by her beauty.
Naturally, there were many people who pursued her. Many of them came from rich and powerful families too.
However, her parents were strict. She was not allowed to be in a relationship before she was eighteen. Therefore, she had no romance.
Her first romance was with that man when she was eighteen.
“That’s right. Where are Yun ‘Er and Feiping? Why didn’t they come with you?” Chen Qiuying asked.
Aunt Yang Liu’s eyes darkened for a moment, but soon she said with a smile, “Yun ‘Er’s two children are still young so they can’t travel this far.”
Chen Qiuying frowned. “Her children are six and five. It’s summer vacation. It’s the perfect time for them to come back home.
“Furthermore, if they really don’t want to risk taking the children, Yun ‘Er and Feiping can ask their grandmother to look after the kids temporarily. They can come back with you.”
Yang Liu pursed her lips. Her expression was serious and showed some worry.
She didn’t know how to answer. Chen Qiuying immediately sensed something wrong.
“This is not right. Big Brother, sister-in-law, did something happen to Yun ‘Er?” Chen Qiuying asked very seriously and sharply.
“Yes, uncle and aunt, did something happen to Yun ‘Er?” Xiao Lingyu repeated the question.
This triggered something in Xiao Lingyu’s memory. During this period in her previous life, something bad did happen to her cousin, Xiao Lingyun..
