Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Lan had always been the cherished daughter in her family before she got married. Even after her marriage, she would often visit her childhood home with her husband and daughter. Therefore, she had never experienced the feeling of being away from home.
Ever since she transmigrated to this new world, one thing led to another. From the split in old Jiang family to the current day, she had been caught in a whirlwind of events, leaving her with no time to think about her family.
Now, with Zhou Wan’s sudden visit, she found herself consumed with homesickness. She couldn’t help but reminisce about the times when she would return home and laugh with her parents and brothers.
Tonight, she was dining with Zhou Wan, and her heart was filled with joy. Zhou Lan found herself seeing Zhou Wan as her own blood brother, as close as one could be.
Their chat quickly turned delightful. Memories of the original host in Zhou Lan’s mind were flooding back. One story led to another, and they kept on chatting.
They could talk about anything, from the aunt living in the east end of the village to the distant cousin living in the west, discussing the recent developments in the village after Zhou Lan got married.
Her daughter, Jiang Xia, was listening to the conversation, slowly getting engrossed in it. When she heard her mother and uncle talking about her cousin, she suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen Jiang Gu today.
The younger girl, Jiang Gu, was becoming increasingly mischievous, especially after learning martial arts from Zhou Lan. Jiang Xia wanted to shape her into a young lady, but it seemed like a futile effort.
With a sigh, Jiang Xia dismissed the thought. Not wanting to interrupt her mother and uncle, she quietly got up and went out to find her little sister.
The the small size of the village and the limited places Jiang Gu could go,
Jiang Xia easily found her in a fruit orchard on the western side of the village. The trees looked lifeless due to years of drought.
Jiang Gu was playing with a group of children her age, creating quite a ruckus.
Jiang Xia approached with a smile, ready to call her sister home to meet their uncle.
However, as she got closer, she saw that something was amiss. Jiang Gu had just pushed a chubby kid down and sat on his back. Her round face, which had grown somewhat plump from recent good meals, was set in a sulky expression as she demanded, “Give me back my bird’s egg!”
Initially, Jiang Xia was too far to see the situation clearly, and there were many people around. Now that she saw the two kids fighting, she quickly rushed over, pulled her sister’s hand, and brought her to her side.
Seeing her elder sister, Jiang Gu’s anger turned into grievance. Her lips pouted, her struggle, her big, round eyes moistened, and two big tears dropped.
“Elder Sister, he stole my my bird’s egg! 1 found it on the ground and wanted to put it back in the nest, the bird mommy would be so sad if she couldn’t find her egg! But when 1 wasn’t looking, he took my egg!”
As Jiang Gu spoke, she pointed at the chubby kid still holding the egg, lying on the ground.
Jiang Xia wiped her tears and comforted her, “Don’t cry, dear. I will get your egg back.”
Although she was comforting her sister, Jiang Xia was puzzled by something else.
Even though Jiang Gu had been eating well recently, putting on a bit of weight and gaining strength, it didn’t seem possible that she could push down a chubby kid.
Taking a closer look at the chubby boy, it was evident he must have been well-fed to have such plump flesh on his body during these times of scarcity. It would take considerable strength to knock him down.
Turning her gaze back to Jiang Gu, Jiang Xia found herself wondering when her little sister had become so strong as to easily knock down a chubby boy..
