The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Jiang Xiaoxiao, Song Moting, and Bai Yiyi had just arrived in Jingbei.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding Bai Yiyi's hand, while Song Moting carried the luggage.

Besides buying some dried goods, their bags barely contained anything. Most of their checked luggage had been ruined by a tractor on the mountain.

So this time, they really didn't have anything big with them.

Once they stepped off the platform, they spotted their mom and dad.

Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi had been waiting there for a while. When they saw them coming out, they happily waved.

Seeing her daughter, Fan Xiuying's eyes showed confusion. Why had this girl gotten thinner again?

She clearly had put on a few pounds before leaving, what happened? How long had it been, and her daughter had become so thin.

She cast a slightly dissatisfied glance at her son-in-law.

Didn't the son-in-law promise to take good care of Xiao Xiao?

Is this taking good care?

Wait.

The son-in-law had gotten thinner too.

She couldn't help but feel a twinge of distress. Could it be that these two had been studying day and night for exams, exhausting themselves like this?

This can't go on; they have to be taken care of once they're home. How can they go on like this?

Her daughter was already thin, and if she didn't eat more to get healthier, how could she have children in the future?

Fan Xiuying was still hoping to hold her grandchild.

When Fan Xiuying spotted the little girl next to Jiang Xiaoxiao, she was shocked—how come they'd brought a child back?

This child looked four or five years old, not exactly a little kid. Whose child had they brought back?

Jiang Xiaoxiao brought Bai Yiyi to Fan Xiuying and gave her a big hug as soon as she saw her.

"Mom, I missed you so much."

She truly missed her mother, a kind of longing she would never ignore.

Fan Xiuying's heart was full of words, but her daughter's statement "I missed you so much" scattered them all, leaving no room to question anything.

Holding her daughter, tears welled up in her eyes.

"You silly girl, Mom missed you too. Come on! Let's go home. Mom needs to cook something good for you, look at how slim you and your husband have become. You can't neglect your health just because of studying."

She looked at them with loving eyes and concern, unable to bear the sight, while Jiang Laoshi couldn't stand it anymore beside them.

Even though he was also worried for his daughter, the station was crowded.

Four adults with a child standing there—what did that look like? He quickly reminded his wife.

"Alright, the kids are tired. Let's hurry home, we can talk more there."

Fan Xiuying quickly led her daughter home while Jiang Xiaoxiao introduced Bai Yiyi to Fan Xiuying.

"Mom, this is Yiyi. Technically, she should call me 'sister'."

According to the plan she and Song Moting came up with, she quietly told her mother that Bai Yiyi was a child of the Song family's relatives, with her caretakers having passed away, leaving her all alone.

They had brought the child back and would take her to the elder's place in a couple of days.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiuying felt compassionate towards the child. This child was so pitiful, with all her family gone, leaving her all alone; it's fortunate she had distant relatives willing to help. Otherwise, what would she do?

This little girl looked quite cute, with those large, bright eyes, kind of resembling her daughter.

"Yiyi, don't be shy around Auntie. Since Xiao Xiao is your sister, you can come home with us just like my daughter. Auntie will make you delicious food."

The warmth in her tone truly made Bai Yiyi feel like she was being treated as her own daughter.

After all, her own daughter had grown up, while Bai Yiyi was still young.

And anyways, since she was a relative of the Song family, Fan Xiuying extended her love to Bai Yiyi, treating her kindly.

Bai Yiyi held onto Fan Xiuying, feeling warm inside; Little Sister's mom was a good person.

She was too kind to her, not minding that she was a burden.

As they walked out of the station, they saw a van parked in the distance, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was shocked.

Her family had bought a van, what kind of fortune had they landed? Her money didn't seem enough to buy a van.

Buying a van in the 1970s wasn't easy.

"Dun-dun-dun, Xiao Xiao, look who is here!"

Before they could get closer, someone jumped out of the van, spreading his arms with a broad smile.

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed and ran over.

"Brother! How come you're here? Aren't you supposed to be working today?"

Her brother Jiang Lei had indeed changed a lot.

With more defined features, a settled expression, and mature restraint, he had grown optimistic, lively, and resilient.

Now his eyes were full of affection as he looked at his sister.

He lifted his own sister high and spun her around.

"You come home today. If I didn't come to pick you up, how would I concentrate at work? I missed the wedding, and if I missed my own sister's homecoming, what kind of brother would I be? Oh, by the way, this must be my brother-in-law! Hi, I'm Jiang Lei, Jiang Xiaoxiao's real brother."

Jiang Xiaoxiao held back a smile since learning she wasn't actually part of the Jiang family, yet Jiang Lei often referred to himself as her real brother, like this was how he could truly prove their bond.

Song Moting looked at this brother-in-law and extended his hand with a smile, "Brother, I'm Song Moting, just call me Xiao Song! I'm Jiang Xiaoxiao's real husband."

Jiang Lei and Song Moting both laughed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was speechless; Song Moting was surprisingly just like her brother, going along with this charade, how childish!

"Hop in, I'll take you guys home. This van, well, I bought it myself. I do some side work, hauling goods with it."

Jiang Lei opened the car door.

Buying a private car during this time was quite a big move.

"Wow, brother, to think you could afford a car, seems like you're making quite the money at work."

Jiang Xiaoxiao gave her brother a playful pat on the shoulder.

Jiang Lei gave a laugh.

"Xiao Xiao, it's so good to have you back. Dad and Mom began preparing for you ten days ago; the house was cleaned so thoroughly. They might clean three times a day, constantly talking about the things you love to eat, asking me to get them from Uncle.

You have no idea how much Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle, were looking forward to you. Uncle nearly filled his home with things you love to eat."

Jiang Lei started the car.

Sitting in the back seat, Jiang Xiaoxiao held Bai Yiyi.

"How are Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa doing?"

She hadn't seen Grandma and Grandpa in so long and genuinely missed them.

"Your grandparents are in great health. If it weren't for your uncle and aunt occasionally coming into the city causing a fuss, I'd say their life would be even better. Now their only worry is when your uncle will get married!

They're constantly pushing him to go on blind dates."

Fan Xiuying couldn't help but laugh, thinking of Fan Jianguo's anxious disposition.

Talking about the elders also brought joy.

Her mom had been sick before, and she'd worried about the elder's health, but unexpectedly, they've gotten stronger in recent years, without even minor ailments.

If it weren't for her elder brother's occasional disturbances, the elders would actually be comfortable.

Of course, her brother's marriage was also a concern, he was just too picky.

He found fault with everyone he saw.

Who knows what sort of goddess he's hoping to find.
