Yang Dani was proficient with needlework in the past, but Yang Ruxin especially disliked picking up a needle and thread, let alone having the patience for embroidery. It was with great difficulty that she managed to embroider a pouch, yet the mandarin ducks she stitched looked more like ducks, turning it into quite the joke among the sisters. As a result, whenever they teased her, she would pinch them all.
Sini pouted her little mouth; she now actually wished for her elder sister to pinch her, she missed Dani.
"They’re alright, aren’t they?" Erni looked at Xiaohei, "When will they come back?"
Xiaohei, in his proud manner, held his head high without a sound. It couldn’t be helped; these people couldn’t understand his speech. So, he decided not to waste his expressions. After all, there was a letter inside.
"Just check inside the pouch, isn’t it?" Erni reminded anxiously.
"This is indeed a letter personally written by our elder sister," Sanni said, pulling out a letter and laughing upon reading it. Dani’s signature was very special; she drew the final stroke of the character ’Xin’ into a big heart, enclosing all three characters within it. "She says she and Brother Gu are currently in Wangjiang County and will be delayed for a few days but will definitely return before the New Year. She asks us to prepare the New Year’s food in advance."
"Amitabha," the Feng Family clasped their hands and chanted briefly.
"Then, let’s hurry and start preparing things for the New Year; otherwise, when Dani comes back, we won’t have time to do anything..." Erni suggested.
Therefore, the family that had been suppressing their worries started to cheer up and became busy.
While everyone dispersed to their tasks, Sanni finally took out the letter that Ruxin had secretly sent her. After reading it, her little face furrowed, but she said nothing and turned to go to Xun Hui’s room.
Xun Hui and Qian Xiaoyun were severely injured; both were already not in great health. So, for the past few days, they could only rely on medicinal care. However, Dao Xuzi had included a sedative in the medicine, which supposedly accelerated recovery during sleep. As a result, both of them spent most of their time in a deep slumber.
Sanni came over and lifted Xun Hui’s quilt...
Majia Hollow.
In another room of the small courtyard.
Old Man Shan looked worriedly at Granny Li: "Those two obviously aren’t ordinary folks, could it be that..."
"Old man, don’t worry," Granny Li smiled and shook her head, "Those two obviously have deep blessings. Especially that girl called Xinxin. Based on her looks, she was originally fated to die early, but... not only is she now rosy-cheeked, even her ’eight characters’ are very robust... If I’m not mistaken, she will definitely be someone remarkable in the future..."
"Alright, let’s not talk about this, let’s sleep," Old Man Shan pulled the quilt over Granny Li. His wife being able to see through some matters was a double-edged sword. Divulging the secrets of heaven could lead to divine punishment. Hence, after they got married, it took three years before they had a son, and they never had another child afterward. It was the same with their daughter-in-law; after having a grandson, she did become pregnant twice, but unfortunately, both times the child was lost before three months.
At that time, having many children and grandchildren was considered a blessing, so having only one child felt like a punishment from the heavens.
Therefore, they had spent the past years doing good to accumulate virtue. Nowadays, their days were stable, and that was enough.
"Old man," after a moment of silence, Granny Li spoke again, "I haven’t told you, but these past few days I’ve been feeling uneasy, as if something is about to
