Return To 1998

On the first and second day of the new year, Tongdao Xu brought his wife, children, younger brother, and younger sister to go door-to-door to his family and relatives to pay New Year's greetings.

This was planned long ago.

It's just two days in a hurry.

Every household enthusiastically wants to keep them for food and drink, so it will be even more rushed.

On the third day of the new year, he took his wife and children to visit Wei Chunlan's mother's house for New Year's greetings. Apart from his father-in-law and mother-in-law, there were also many relatives of Wei Chunlan's family who wanted to go there.

Xu Tongdao also spent two days.

Also in a hurry.

But there is no way, he promised to attend Zheng Qing's wedding a few years ago, and he can't say anything.

only……

Wei Chunlan has not returned to her parents' home for a long time. During the Spring Festival, she was only allowed to stay at her parents' home for two days. She was really reluctant to leave so soon.

No way, two days later, Xu Tongdao temporarily left her and her children with her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and let them play there enough.

And he himself took the car to Zheng Qing's hometown.

When he finished attending Zheng Qing's wedding and returned to Shazhou, it was already the seventh day of the new year.

On the way back to Shazhou, he called Wei Chunlan on the phone.

On the phone, Wei Chunlan still didn't want to leave, and wanted to stay at her parents' house for another week.

Xu Tongdao can understand in his heart, but he is somewhat helpless.

Can only agree to make an appointment to pick her up and the children in a week.

He took the car directly back to Xujia Village.

In other words, he himself wanted to stay in his hometown for a few more days.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he got home, he saw his cousin Bai Lanlan, her husband Mi Li, and her daughter Mi Xiaoxiao, sitting in their living room with Ge Xiaozhu, Xu Tonglu, Shen Tuqing, Ge Yuzhu and the others. Talk and chat.

Bai Lanlan and Mi Li were both holding teacups in their hands.

what's the situation?

Seeing this scene, Tongdao Xu's footsteps as he entered the door immediately slowed down, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

His eyes looked at the faces of the three Bai Lanlan family.

Seeing this, sister Ge Yuzhu got up and trotted over here immediately, Big brother is back, big brother! Have you eaten at noon? If you haven't, I'll ask my aunt to make something for you?

Ge Yuzhu's words made Bai Lanlan and Mi Li stand up subconsciously, looking at Tongdao Xu with an unnatural look, Mi Li squeezed out a smile and took the initiative to say hello: Xiaodao, back, back? Us, me and Lanlan Come and say New Year's greetings to the second mother!

second mother...

According to seniority, Tongdao Xu's father Xu Weixi is Bai Lanlan's second uncle, and Ge Xiaozhu is naturally Bai Lanlan's second mother.

Tongdao Xu nodded and looked at his cousin Bai Lanlan.

In his heart, their family and Bai Lanlan's family had long since broken up.

So, he didn't understand which one Bai Lanlan and the others sang today?

Is it just me who thought it was a breakup?

Bai Lanlan also squeezed out a little smile at this time, bowed her head and said to her daughter Mi Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, call me uncle!

Mi Xiaoxiao, when Tongdao Xu was reborn, she was only two years old.

Now, 12 years have passed, and Mi Xiaoxiao is also 14 years old.

As we all know, girls develop early, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they are often full length.

No, the Mi Xiaoxiao that Tongdao saw at this time was no shorter than Bai Lanlan, except for the youthful look on his face, looking at her size, she was already a big girl.

Happy New Year Uncle!

Mi Xiaoxiao showed a sweet smile, greeted warmly, and when she smiled, the two dimples on her cheeks were obvious.

Let Xu Tongdao subconsciously think of her grandmother Bai Meifeng.

Hello!

Tongdao Xu replied indifferently.

At this time, the younger sister Ge Yuzhu approached Xu Tongdao and said in a low voice, Brother, their family came this morning. I heard that you might be home at noon and have lunch at our house, but they haven't left. It is estimated that Wait for you.

Tongdao Xu glanced at her, noncommittal.

Walking to the sofa in the reception area, Tongdao Xu handed the coat draped in his arms to his sister who was following him, sat down at will, and raised his hand to signal Bai Lanlan and the others to sit too.

When they were all seated, Tongdao Xu took a cup of tea handed over by his younger brother and sister Shen Tuqing, looked at Bai Lanlan, squinted, and asked, Is there anything your family wants me to help with?

Bai Lanlan opened her mouth slightly, and was about to speak when her husband Mi Li, who was sitting beside her, shook his head in denial, No, no! Xiaodao, you misunderstood, we really came here today to pay New Year's greetings to the second mother, really!

Bai Lanlan's face was a little red at this time.

Of course, she understood why Xu Tongdao asked such a question.

Because of what happened back then, her family had long stopped communicating with Xu Tong Taoist's side, and it was clear that they had cut off the relationship.

This year, she suddenly came to greet her second mother, Ge Xiaozhu, and she felt embarrassed.

but……

During the Spring Festival this year, everyone around her was persuading her to have a good relationship with fellow Taoist Xu.

The reasons are varied.

Such as: After all, blood is thicker than water, your father and his father are brothers!

Are you stupid? Your cousin is now the richest man in the province. Most people don't have the chance to climb such relatives. You have such a cousin, and you don't even recognize him?

Wife! If we don't deal with there, it's us, not others! You don't want to lose face. Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, can't you think about our daughter? Xiaoxiao is so big. Now, if we can take care of the Xu family in the future, how much can we save? Do you think so?

This is what her husband Mili told her repeatedly recently.

And her mother Bai Meifeng, who has been released from prison, is also persuading her recently, Lan Lan, being a person... Sometimes it's good to have backbone, but sometimes it's stupid to have too much backbone! You are my last name. If you had your father's surname back then, then your surname would also be Xu, and Xiaodao... In terms of blood relationship, you are a little worse than his brother Xiaolu, and more kissable than her sister! After all, you also know that his sister was adopted since childhood. , He has no blood relationship with Xiaodao, so, speaking of you and him, you and him are siblings, it's not shameful for you to be soft on him, do you think about it?

...

Her mother-in-law, daughter, relatives and friends at home have been persuading her recently.

Everyone analyzed her from all angles, and it seemed that everyone was looking forward to her and the Xu family's return to walking.

She... was persuaded.

In fact, she knew in her heart that she had wanted to restore the relationship with the Xu family for a long time, but year after year, she couldn't hold that face or make up her mind.

At this moment, facing Xu Tongdao's gaze, Bai Lanlan squeezed out a smile and nodded in agreement with her husband's words, Yes!

The corner of Xu Tonglu's mouth, who was sitting beside him, raised a sarcastic smile.

But he did not speak out of politeness.

Tongdao Xu stared into Bai Lanlan's eyes with half-squinted eyes. He has always been good at reading words and feelings and trying to figure out people's hearts. Of course, he could see that Bai Lanlan's words were insincere.

He also wanted to laugh a little.

funny.

He remembered very clearly that in the original time and space, before his rebirth, the Bai Lanlan family had never resumed contact with their family, and why was this life different?

The reason is like a mirror in his heart.
