Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 82: As One Wave Subsides, Another Arises

Guiding the two children and carrying empty buckets, Liu Sisi had just stepped out of the old house when she saw the Land Officer leading several people sauntering towards the old house.

Liu Sisi hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects.

“Is that you, Sisi? How’s your father faring?”

The Land Officer had tossed and turned all night. The thought that Elderly Mr. Di’s illness was somewhat caused by him made him feel a little guilty. Hence, early in the morning, he sent someone to check on Mr. Di. He was relieved to find out that Mr. Di had awakened. However, after having lunch, he heard about the incessant noise coming from here and rushed back.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Land Officer. My father has awakened. Sisi just brought him lunch. Now I’m planning to take the children to eat.”

Liu Sisi laughed lightly and gently stroked YingEr, who was hiding behind her and didn’t want to meet people.

Despite their timid expressions hidden behind her, their eyes were not deceptive.

“Well, it’s getting late. You should hurry home. I will go check on your father.”

After the Land Officer finished speaking, he bypassed the mother and children, leading several people towards the old house.

Remembering the chaos in the courtyard, Liu Sisi let out a cold laugh in her heart.

That’s fine!

It will allow Mr. Land Officer to see the chaos in the house!

“Let’s go, Xuan’er, YingEr, let’s go home and bathe.”

Once they arrived home, Liu Sisi heated water for the children’s bath and cleaned the house thoroughly.

Ad

While taking the dustpan to dispose of garbage, Liu Sisi heard a repressed call from nearby, “Sisi, Sisi, it’s me, Sisi!”

Lifting her head, Liu Sisi saw an unfamiliar man running quickly towards her.

“Stop right there! Who are you?”

Liu Sisi ordered.

No wonder she was nervous; even though she didn’t recognize the man, he was the same one who had climbed over the wall that day!

Knowing that she is a married woman, but still climbing over the wall and now even calling her by her nickname loudly, made Liu Sisi instinctively dislike this man.

Actually, the man was handsome and carried an air of elegant charm.

He wore a headband adorned with a sesame pattern, beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender, charmingly bewitching peach blossom eyes, filled with affectionate emotions, which could easily captivate people.

At the moment, beneath his tall nose, his thin lips were spreading into a smile that was enticing to the soul.

However, when Liu Sisi suddenly ordered him to stop, he halted and looked at her, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.

“Sisi! Don’t you recognize me? I am Zhang Shixin!”

Looking at his anxious face, Liu Sisi instinctively countered, “Zhang Shixin? Do I know you?”

A grown man with peach blossom eyes, truly a demon!

An expression of sorrow washed over his face; he looked pained and anxious.
