Su Family.
Today is the first meal since reuniting with their daughter at the Su Family. Everyone is very attentive. Jiang Wanru and Xu Nianhua are busy in the kitchen. Jiang Wanru didn’t ask Xu Nianhua to rest, and Xu Nianhua’s willingness to help in the kitchen signifies her willingness to integrate into this family.
Su Jinrong is also not idle, making dumplings, and Xu Nian’an sits beside him, feeling shy, so he joins in making dumplings as well.
At the Su Family’s dining table, the dishes may not be all that exquisite, but they are dishes made with love by Jiang Wanru and Su Jinrong. Within the meals, love is abundant.
"Nianhua, welcome home!" Su Jinrong raises his glass, looking at his elegant daughter. A sense of pride rises from within; she is his daughter.
"Welcome home."
Jiang Wanru echoed.
"Thank you." Xu Nianhua initially thought that with just the three of them, it would feel awkward, but now she feels that besides Su Jinrong and Jiang Wanru being a bit too enthusiastic, there’s no awkwardness in their interaction.
When chatting, they would also try to consider her feelings. Their words express gratitude towards the Xu Family, and never once did they insist that she must recognize her parentage or be upset if she chose not to.
This kind of Su Family makes Xu Nianhua comfortable, and even Xu Nian’an feels especially happy for his little sister; the Su Family genuinely loves her dearly.
That evening, Xu Nianhua was very happy. At night, sleeping in the room arranged by the Su Family, she expected to be restless, but unexpectedly, she slept soundly and even had sweet dreams.
In the morning, Xu Nianhua opened her eyes and looked at the comfortable yet elegantly styled room. She paused for a moment before realizing that she was at the Su Family’s home.
Pulling open the curtains, bright sunlight hits her face. In the distance are layered mountains; nearby is a tranquil garden akin to a forest park. The breeze carries a sweet scent.
At this time, Xu Nianhua just woke up, instinctively blinking as the sun rises behind the mountains. The morning light is magnificent, overwhelmingly beautiful.
Having freshened up, Xu Nianhua went downstairs, smelling the aroma wafting from the dining table.
"Nianhua, I made meat buns for you, the soy milk is freshly bought, and there are also youtiao, porridge. What would you like to eat?" Jiang Wanru’s bustling figure emerges from the kitchen, noticing Xu Nianhua is up early, says, "Your dad bought rice noodles. Should I make you some?"
Xu Nianhua used to have rice noodles more often when she was at the Xu Family.
Early in the morning, Su Jinrong bought both soy milk and rice noodles just so his daughter could have a more comforting breakfast.
"No need, this is plenty. The buns weren’t made this morning, were they?" Xu Nianhua looks at the fragrant buns, whose shape isn’t particularly pretty.
"Yes, your dad and I couldn’t sleep, so we decided to make meat buns. We haven’t done it in years, so our hands are a bit rusty." Jiang Wanru said somewhat embarrassedly.
A warm flow surged in Xu Nianhua’s heart, happily saying, "They look really nice and surely taste delicious."
At breakfast, Xu Nianhua ate an extra bun. Although not aesthetically pleasing, the taste was so delightful that her eyes got a bit teary. These were buns made by her dad and mom, who didn’t intentionally abandon her but swapped her due to Jia Sufen’s jealousy.
"Uncle, Aunt, they’re really delicious." Xu Nian’an ate the meat buns heartily, praising them, and the calls of uncle and aunt flowed naturally and sincerely from him.
"Ring."
The phone rang, and Jiang Wanru said, "It must be the results out."
"I will answer." Su Jinrong stood up, very composed, as if regardless of the results, in his and Jiang Wanru’s hearts, they already acknowledged that Xu Nianhua is their daughter.
