Chapter 26 A Reunion and a Sweet Surprise

Su Lizhen said irritably, “How would I know? Hurry up, I’ve already bought the groceries, and you haven’t visited your grandmother in half a month. She’s been asking about you non-stop.”

“Fine, I’ll ride there myself. I don’t want you to take me, it’s too embarrassing!”

“You didn’t mind before. You’d sit behind me every day, wrapping your arms around my waist!”

The mother and daughter bickered as they rode their bicycles, rushing toward the south of the city.

Li Yuechan felt a wave of freshness as soon as they entered the southern part of the city. The roads here were wider than those back home, and the houses weren’t as run-down.

Before long, they arrived in front of a courtyard.

Su Lizhen opened the gate and walked inside, cheerfully calling out, “Mom, Dad, we’re back!”

Li Yuechan followed behind, pushing her bike.

The moment she stepped into the courtyard, her eyes brightened. The yard wasn’t small—probably around forty to fifty square meters. A small path made of pebbles ran through the center, and bitter melon vines climbed up a ladder, while various flowers covered the ground.

Li Yuechan took a deep breath. It smelled so fragrant!

She looked up, her heart full of anticipation as she saw the elderly woman walking out from the house. In an instant, her eyes welled up with tears.

She put down her bike and, like a joyful bird, ran over and tightly embraced the elderly woman, bursting into tears.

In the previous life, her grandmother had died while trying to save her, being eaten by zombies.

She could still clearly remember how the zombies chewed on her grandmother’s body as she screamed, “Xiao Chan, run! Xiao Chan, run!”

Guo Juxiang looked at her crying granddaughter, at a loss, and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Have you been wronged? Who bullied you? When your uncle comes back, I’ll have him deal with them!”

Li Yuechan choked on her sobs as she said, “Nothing… I just missed Grandma.”

“Ah, you little fool. If you miss me, just come back. Grandma will make dumplings for you to eat.”

At that moment, an elderly man in his sixties walked out of the house. “Xiao Chan, you’re only thinking about your grandmother, not your grandfather?”

Li Yuechan smiled through her tears and ran over to hug her grandfather. “I missed you both!”

She reached into her pocket, pulled out a White Rabbit milk candy, unwrapped it, and put it into her grandfather’s mouth. “Grandpa, is it sweet?”

Su Hongchang’s stern face softened, and he smiled, “Sweet.”

Li Yuechan unwrapped another White Rabbit milk candy and fed it to her grandmother before putting one in her own mouth.

The two elderly people, with candy in their mouths and tears in their eyes, looked at their granddaughter. Their satisfied expressions made Li Yuechan feel both happy and emotional.

She felt so glad, her family was still here!

Guo Juxiang suddenly noticed something as she looked at the back of Li Yuechan’s head. “What’s this on the back of your head? Why’s there a patch of hair missing?”

Li Yuechan quickly pushed her hair aside. The injury on her head had healed, and new black hair had already grown over it. Honestly, if you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t notice.

“It’s nothing, I accidentally bumped into something a while ago, but it’s all healed now.”

Guo Juxiang furrowed her brows. “Oh, my little darling, you have to be careful. As a girl, what if the hair doesn’t grow back?”

Li Yuechan quickly reassured, “It’s nothing, Grandma. It’s all healed now. Look, the hair is already growing back.”

Guo Juxiang tapped Li Yuechan on the forehead. “You little rascal, be more careful next time.”

The family of five happily enjoyed a meal of dumplings. Li Yuechan, feeling utterly satisfied, eagerly volunteered to wash the dishes. She shooed everyone else out, then sneaked over to change the rice in the rice bin at her grandmother’s house.

Just then, she heard some muffled voices from inside the house.

“Lizhen, have you and Jianguo really decided not to have a child? You’ve been with him for so many years… Are you sure you…”

“Mom, don’t worry about my business. It’s fine the way it is now.”

“I just think your life has been too hard.”

“Hard? Not at all. I’m happy looking after Xiao Chan.”

Then came a heavy sigh from her grandmother. “These ration tickets were sent by Xiao Feng. The army takes care of our food and drink, so we don’t need these. You take them, use them for Xiao Chan to get some extra nourishment. She’s getting so thin.”

“I don’t want them. You and Dad use them.”

“Alright, your dad and I won’t need them anymore. I know you, you must take them. Go ahead and use them for Xiao Chan. She’s getting so skinny.”

Su Lizhen found this both frustrating and amusing. Her daughter now was quite the glutton, yet she never gained weight. It seemed her strength had even increased. The other day, Su Lizhen accidentally saw her daughter crush a stone into pieces, but she wasn’t sure whether that was a good thing or not.

She suddenly remembered her daughter’s desire to join the army and said, “When Xiao Feng writes next, ask if their unit is recruiting female soldiers. Xiao Chan wants to join the army.”

Guo Juxiang frowned. “I haven’t heard of that before. I’ll ask next time, but why does Xiao Chan want to join the army?”

“You know, that kid just can’t sit still. She won’t settle for a regular job. If she could join the army, maybe she’d like that. She probably inherited it…”

Li Yuechan’s ears perked up. Inherited from whom? She hadn’t caught that part. Could it be from her grandfather? That seemed possible.

Thinking back on her mother’s stories, her grandfather had been particularly capable before the liberation. He had been from a small, wealthy family and gradually built himself into a small capitalist. At his peak, his textile factory had employed several hundred people, and he even owned over ten stores.

Then, after the liberation, he gave up everything except for a piece of honorary paper and this old house.

She also vaguely recalled that their house on Guihua Alley had probably been bought by her grandfather. She wondered if these things could be returned someday.

But she was also puzzled. Her mother’s siblings all had at least three or four children, so why didn’t her mom have another? It was quite confusing. Could it be that her father couldn’t have more children?

At that moment, several hundred kilometers away, in an office, a man sneezed loudly.

“Commander, if you don’t take care of yourself, I’m going to report you to the political commissar.”

“Ah, you brat. You’re everywhere. Just go brew me some ginger soup.”

“At your age, still acting like a rookie, standing out in the rain like that,” Shen Zheng muttered as he walked away.
