Chapter 1377 - 201. Home Again (Second Update)
Lin Yuan’s family met up with Lady Liu Limin and a few others outside the city and then headed together for Zhuma Town. The birth of Jeng Ruyue’s child was a great joy; even Liu Siliang, who was busy with the greenhouse, had put aside his tasks and came back for the occasion.
The closer they got to Zhuma Town, the more elated Lin Yuan and her companions felt, their hearts having already flown ahead to the Lin family home.
Xiao He was the most excited; she still remembered when leaving with Lin Yuan the reluctant and worried expressions of her aunt and uncle, as well as the way Xiao Shitou clutched her hand and quietly stuffed the six Copper Coins he had saved into her palm, and the way her grandmother had tried to smile, even though her eyes were brimming with tears.
Thinking about it, Xiao He couldn’t help but let the tears fall shamelessly. It was a good thing she was leaning out of the window looking outside at that moment, or else if Lin Wei and the others had seen, they surely would have been worried.
Just as she wiped away the tears, Xiao He suddenly felt an extremely familiar figure flash by in front of her eyes. But when she wiped her tears dry and tried to take a closer look at the figure, she found that it had disappeared.
Yes, vanished.
This was an official road, bustling with carriages and men and women going to and fro, and it truly was just in the blink of an eye that she could no longer see Lady Chen.
"Mother, is that you? Or am I just missing you so much that I’m seeing things wrong?"
There were still several days before Jeng Ruyue’s son would be a month old, so Lin Yuan and her group were in no rush. They traveled leisurely, stopping here and there, and finally arrived at Zhuma Town.
Zhuma Town was still the same as before, but perhaps having grown accustomed to the bustling activity of the Capital city, they found the town to be somewhat desolate upon seeing it again.
"We should head back to the Lin family home first. We’re not in a hurry after all, and we can come to the town in a few days to visit the old friends."
