Chapter 174: I'm back too

The grandpa quickly guarded the cup of tea and called out, “Oh, slow down, slow down! Be careful lest I spill it.
Nannan specially brewed this for me to drink.”

“Yes-yes-yes, I’ll help you walk slowly. Take your time.” Liu Zhiqiu felt helpless. He was about to say something else, when his ears suddenly perked up. Joy surfaced on his face.

“Hey, the sound of horse hooves, do you hear it? It’s the sound of horse hooves. It must be Nannan. She’s back!”

Grandpa Liu broke away from Liu Zhiqiu and swiftly walked towards the door, his movements sharp and excited.

Grandma Liu followed closely behind, raging. At this moment, there was none of the decadence just now found on the two elders.

Chen Xiulan also dismissed the kitchen. She exchanged a glance with Liu Daling and quickly dashed to the door, crowding around the two elderly. Together they craned their necks towards the end of the village road for a look.

Under the curtain of the twilight, the figure of the carriage slowly appeared in their eyes, from far to near, driving towards the entrance of the Liu courtyard.

In the carriage, Liu Yusheng clenched her hands and whispered, “Feng Qingbai, we’re home.”

“Hmm, we’re home.” Gazing at her, the man smiled.

Then his hands wrapped around her and hugged her hard and tight. His nose lingered on the fragrant scent of her neck, and he didn’t let go until the carriage slowed to a stop.

Liu Yusheng merely thought he was nervous about being near the countryside, so she let him hug without struggling. Even though she was panicking and worried that the family would rush forward and lift the carriage curtain.

Outside the carriage, the family’s joyful and expectant voices already jingled, “Nannan? Is the girl back? Quickly get down!”

“Huh, why are there two carriages? Who else is visiting our house?”

“…This isn’t Xiao Jinzi’s carriage. Who is it?”

Hearing the elders’ voices, Liu Yusheng hurriedly answered, “Grandpa and grandma, parents,             second uncle and aunt, second brother, I am back!”

Activity boomed outside.

“Oh, it’s really Nannan. I told you, it must be Nannan who’s back!”

“Just now I said that while we were eating, maybe Nannan will come. Didn’t I say it right?”

“Did you say it? It was I who said it. I have been thinking for a long time that Nannan might suddenly appear in front of the house!”

Amidst the joyful arguing of the family, Liu Yusheng laughed, her heart overflowed with warmth and peace.

She jumped out of the carriage curtain and plunged into her grandmother’s arms. Grandma Liu was overjoyed that she kept stroking her hair. “Oh, how grown up you are and you still like to hug your grandmother and be pampered.”

“Blast Grandma’s little granddaughter’s age! I want grandma to pamper me!” Liu Yusheng smiled and spoke sweetly as honey, coaxing the grandma into a smile.

Someone next to her coughed, “Ahem! You’re back, yet you’re hanging on to your grandmother. You’re leaving your grandfather behind. Alas, someone’s old, so no one likes him!”

This sour tone earned another round of laughter from the family.

Liu Yusheng turned around, took the grandpa’s arm, and shook it, “Grandpa, how can I not miss you outside? I missed grandpa and grandma the most.”
