"Mom!" How could Lu Xiaoshu hold back? He dashed forward and threw himself into Miao Cuilan's arms, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.
"My girl, you are such a fool! I don't know if parents will worry..." Miao Cuilan hugged her, her heart was both joyful and slightly sour.
"Mother..." Lu Xiaoshu felt very guilty: "I didn't mean to..."
Xiaoxue stepped forward and said with a smile: "Okay, mother, Xiaoshu! After all, isn't the past over? You can meet whenever you want, so don't be sad!"
"Yes, yes, sister is right!" Lu Xiaoshu stood up straight from Miao Cuilan's arms, and said with a smile, "Mother, I will be filial to you from now on!"
"Oh, my mother's Xiaoshu has really grown up! I will have a day to be filial to my mother!" Miao Cuilan said, and both mother and daughter laughed.
Miao Cuilan rubbed her head affectionately, and said with a smile, "Mother's girl is so tall."
Lu Xiaoshu leaned on her body and took her arm and said with a smile, "If you grow taller, you will be my mother's daughter!"
"Little girl, I only count your sweet mouth!" Miao Cuilan couldn't help reaching out to pinch her cheek.
Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly dodged and shouted: "Mother, don't pinch my face!"
"When a person grows up, his problems don't change!"
"That's not a problem! It's called self-esteem, self-esteem!"
Xiaoxue couldn't hold it any longer, and laughed with a "puchi".
"Okay, Xiao Shu," Lu Wenxuan coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and invite your adoptive parents and sister in, there will be plenty of time to catch up on the past."
"That's right." Lu Zhong looked at Lu Wenxuan with a smile, and nodded apologetically.
"Mother, sister, let's go in!" Lu Xiaoshu took Miao Cuilan's arm, and they entered together.
When we met each other in the living room, the guests and hosts sat down, Lu Wenxuan smiled and said: "We should pay a visit at home, because Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu just arrived yesterday, and I wanted to go again in two days, but who knows it's bothering me?" You came here first! How ashamed!"
"No, it makes us feel even more sorry!" Mu Qing also smiled. Seeing Lu Xiaoshu clinging to Miao Cuilan's side, he felt a little disappointed.
Lu Zhong laughed and said, "We understand the wishes of Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou, but it doesn't really matter who comes or goes. My wife hasn't seen Xiaoshu for many years, so I can't help but miss him in my heart."
Lu Wenxuan and Mu Qing looked at each other, and Lu Wenxuan sighed: "It's been so hard for you all these years! Don't thank you for your kindness, we will be a family from now on!"
"That's not right! Even though Xiaoshu is back, she's still your daughter! This child doesn't have a proper shape, and he doesn't say to give a good gift to the adoptive parents." Mu Qing looked at her daughter and was slightly annoyed.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said: "Mother, don't bother me like this! My parents don't pay attention to this kind of thing, so it seems natural!"
"Yes, yes, it's good to be the same as before!" Miao Cuilan smiled, and suddenly remembered Lu Zhong's words, and smiled at Mu Qing: "Mrs. I have a child, so I am so happy that I don’t know what to do! Alas, this child has always been courageous since she was a child, and people who are younger can leave as soon as they say it. In the few months when I didn’t hear from her, I really couldn’t eat or sleep. , it's so easy to see..."
Mu Qing felt a little sorry to hear her say that, and quickly smiled and said: "Sister, don't say that! We are all mothers, and you treat Xiao Shu as your own daughter, I can understand your feelings! In the future, my sister will often Come here and have a sit, it's the same if you ask Xiaoshu to go over, in the future, our two families should get closer! I want to hear more about her when you were young!"
Miao Cuilan is also a straightforward person, and when she heard Mu Qing say this, she immediately felt good about her, and the previous awkwardness disappeared, and she said with a smile: "As long as you don't dislike us country people who are vulgar and can't speak, I will come here often !"
"Really? That's a good deal! It's too late for me to thank you, how can I dislike it!" Mu Qing was overjoyed, and laughed quickly: "Sister, if you don't dislike it, just call me sister!"
"Hey, that's great!" Miao Cuilan smiled, and she really called out. Mu Qing responded with a smile and nodded.
Lu Zhong and Lu Wenxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing the two of them getting close all of a sudden.
After chatting for a while, Lu Wenxuan invited Lu Zhong to talk in the study, and Mu Qing also smiled and said, "It's not as warm outside as in the warm pavilion, let's go in and sit down! I've already ordered the kitchen, let's eat here at noon!"
Miao Cuilan thanked her with a smile, then got up and followed Mu Qing in. Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said: "Two ladies, talk slowly, my sister and I will go out for a walk."
Mu Qing smiled and nodded: "It's a bit windy outside, wear more clothes, don't catch cold!"
Lu Xiaoshu agreed, and took Xiaoxue to go.
"Is everything okay after sister returns home?" In the garden, Lu Xiaoshu retreated from the crowd and asked Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue nodded slightly, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about me, at home...everything is fine!"
"That's good!" Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "I knew that my parents were the best for us, even if everyone in this world would abandon us, my parents would not! Now that we are in the capital, our sisters not only have companions , can be regarded as a new beginning, after a while, maybe my parents will find a good family for my sister!"
"Okay, let's make fun of your sister!" Xiaoxue blushed unconsciously and tried to hit Lu Xiaoshu, but Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly smiled and avoided begging for mercy. The two sisters laughed and made a fuss.
"I don't want to marry yet," Xiaoxue sighed suddenly, and said, "In those two years in that place, I have seen through it. This man is unreliable. It is better not to marry a clean-hearted man than to marry a heartless man. Xiaoshu, your mouth Sweet, and good at speaking, I was thinking about it, if one day my parents really talk about this, you, you must help me say something nice to my parents, I really don’t want to mention this matter... "
Thinking about the past, Xiaoxue's expression suddenly dimmed.
Lu Xiaoshu knew that he couldn't use his own ideas to make demands on her. Although he couldn't bear to see her like this, he also knew that no one could help her remove the shadow in her heart except herself.
Then she nodded and said with a soft smile: "Sister, don't worry! As long as you don't want to do anything, your parents will not force you! I will help you too. But—"
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help asking: "Where's that fat man? Did he... not look for my sister anymore?"
"Fatty?" Xiaoxue was stunned, and then realized that she was talking about Zhou Yuan, and said in embarrassment, "You are talking nonsense again! It was all a joke when I was a child, how could I count it? He... I heard that I'm not in my hometown, so I don't know where I went!"
Lu Xiaoshu thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Maybe he is looking for my sister! Sister, if he wants to marry my sister, will my sister be willing to marry her?"
"Such unwarranted things, you should say a few words less!" Xiaoxue suddenly became embarrassed, and glared at Lu Xiaoshu.
Lu Xiaoshu was really going to get angry when he saw that she didn't have a good face, and hurriedly called "good sister" to apologize. Xiaoxue thought about what the sisters were talking about for fun, and guessed that the sister didn't mean it, let alone say it outside, so she turned around and warned her: "In the future, if you dare to say such things again, don't go to bed. Let's go there!"
"If I don't go, how can my parents and sister be willing!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled, and took Xiaoxue's arm to hug her.
Xiaoxue couldn't help but "puchi" laughed, and said angrily to her: "I don't know what's good about you, since my mother got into trouble since I was a child, my mother has taught you a lot, but I haven't seen you for a few years, but I can't kiss you enough! Today I even asked Mrs. Lu if she had reserved a room for you!"
Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Actually, when I was cleaning up, I wanted to clean up a room for myself, and I felt a little embarrassed..."
Xiaoxue found it even more funny, and tapped her forehead lightly with her finger, "You also have times when you feel embarrassed!"
The two sisters laughed together.
All of a sudden Qiu'er came over and asked to go back for dinner, saying that lunch was ready.
The two sisters went back hand in hand.
Miao Cuilan and Mu Qing are already very close, like sisters who haven't seen each other for many years. Seeing Lu Xiaoshu, he was also very happy.
The host and guest enjoy a meal.
Not long after the meal, Lu Zhong wanted to say goodbye.
Miao Cuilan couldn't help but looked at Lu Xiaoshu reluctantly, very reluctantly.
After all, she brought up the child single-handedly, and she has been worrying about it for so many years. Now that she saw her for the first time, she didn't know how many things she wanted to ask her and tell her, but when they met again, she already had her own home. , With biological parents.
Even if her adoptive mother doesn't want to, she can't rob her of her own.
What's more, now that she and Mu Qing are getting close all of a sudden, she is too embarrassed to snatch her away.
On the other hand, Mu Qing's grudges and disappointment were eliminated, and the only thing left was gratitude. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Xiao Shu, your adoptive mother must have had a lot of discomfort when she first came to the capital, and there is no one to talk to. Why don't you go and stay for a few days?" Let's go! Take them around the capital by the way, cut some more clothes and buy some jewelry. If my guess is right, I'm afraid that many people will come to visit in a few days."
Miao Cuilan, who was visiting or not, didn't take it seriously, but Mu Qing couldn't help being overjoyed when she asked Lu Xiaoshu to stay with her for a few days, and said with a smile: "Sister, then I won't be polite! Seriously, I I really miss this girl! I am looking forward to her staying for a few days!"
Mu Qing smiled and nodded, "This is what it should be!"
Lu Xiaoshu was also happy in his heart, so he smiled and said, "I'll call Du Juan and Hong E to pack up some clothes and go to spend time with my parents and sister! Mom, I'll be back in a few days!"
Mu Qing smiled, "Just don't be naughty!" Then she smiled at Miao Cuilan: "After all, the capital is different from other places, sister, don't spoil her! I'm saying this because I think my sister is an outsider, sister Don't annoy me!"
"How could it be! How can I be so ignorant!" Miao Cuilan said with a smile, "Just don't worry!"
Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly picked up a few sets of clothes, took the cuckoo and red calyx, and sure enough, followed Miao Cuilan and Xiaoxue into the carriage and returned to Lu's residence.
Miao Cuilan looked at the two daughters talking and laughing beside her, feeling extremely satisfied and warm in her heart, and sighed softly: "At this moment, mother feels a little bit in her heart, feeling that our family is together again!"
"It's a pity that my brother didn't come, otherwise it would be better!" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help saying.
Miao Cuilan didn't notice anything, and said with a smile: "He's a man, he's different from you!"
Lu Xiaoshu laughed "puchi", and said: "Mother, brother is the only seedling of the Lu family, mother, if you say that, brother may be very sad!" The mother and daughter all three laughed.
