"What specific day was it? Where did we meet? Why didn't you come over to say hello?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Lu thought for a moment and said: "Seven or eight days ago, no more than ten days ago, on the street in front of the Qingshui Town School, I was the first to see Xiaohua and her father peeing in the alley behind."

"I wanted to chase him, but at that time Xiaohua got off the carriage, showed his face, and then got on the carriage again. I couldn't catch up, and I, a woman, had no idea, so I could only wait for Xiaohua's father to come over and tell him this.

Let him chase the carriage."

"Little Hua Daddy chased her near Wa City and saw a fatter woman getting out of the carriage. The carriage left again and he lost track of her."

"Fortunately, we found the fat woman who was with you in Wa City, and we found out about Xiao Hua's condition by talking around her."

"I've been asking about your family's affairs these past few days, and I really didn't dare to take the liberty to come and recognize my daughter. Now I heard that your family is having a wedding, so we decided to come."

"It was our fault that our daughter got lost back then. Now that we are here, we don't dare expect her to recognize us. We just want to meet her and bring her some local specialties from home to try!"

When Lu said this, tears fell again.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and dug her ears, and said, "You guys are just talking about the same thing. I was almost moved by you."

"But I only believe in one thing. If you were really good to Xiaohua back then, as you say now, Xiaohua wouldn't have run away from home."

"Oh Mrs. Luo, we can't bear your words!" Mrs. Lu said.

"We love Xiaohua, but our family is poor. I am a widow, and the Xu family has to make do with their lives with a daughter."

"Xiaohua was young at that time. As a little girl, she always thought about her own mother. Sometimes we didn't think it through. She would cry when we said that or if our voice was louder. She felt that we didn't care about her. We didn't care about her.

It’s also very unfair.”

"She is Da Kui's daughter, her own biological child, why wouldn't she be so careless? No matter how bastard Da Kui is, he is not a beast!"

Hearing Lu's explanation, Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"That's all, no matter what nonsense you say, it's useless." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Whether I recognize you or not depends on Xiaohua. Come out, Xiaohua, and meet your biological father and your stepmother!"

Yang Ruoqing shouted towards the hall at the back.

Lu and Xu Dakui also stretched their necks and looked over there.

Xiao Duo came out first, and then she pulled Xiao Hua out too.

Xiaoduo stared at Lu and Xu Dakui coldly, while Xiaohua lowered her head and looked a little pale.

"Hua'er, my second daughter!" Lu suddenly howled, rushed over in three steps and grabbed Xiao Hua's hand.

Xiaohua was startled and subconsciously stepped back.

Mrs. Lu was already holding Xiaohua's hand and crying.

"My second daughter, I finally found you... My parents thought they would never see you again in this life. Thank God, it is also your mother's blessing that we will never see you again in our lifetime..."

Xu Dakui also stood up slowly, came to Xiao Hua, looked at Xiao Hua, his pupils shrank, the corners of his mouth murmured, but he couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Liu stood aside and watched, but she was also moved to tears by Mrs. Lu's melodious crying.

Yang Ruoqing changed her posture and leaned on the stool, watching with interest.

"Hua'er, look, these are the potatoes and sweet potatoes at home this year. Your dad and I picked out the big ones and brought them all over for you."

Mrs. Lu pulled Xiaohua to the twine bags, opened the mouths of the bags, and took out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes inside to show Xiaohua.

"You loved roasted sweet potatoes and steamed potatoes the most when you were a child. Life at home was tight at that time. Mom always left you with enough to eat. Mom felt so sad..."

"Mr. Lu, stop being so hypocritical here, we don't believe it!" Xiao Duo said angrily.

Lu looked up at Xiaoduo and said, "You, my daughter, are not worried. Do you know that because you ran away from home, your uncle and aunt almost had their spines stabbed through? Later, your uncle and aunt could no longer stay in the village."

Well, I moved my family to another county!"

Xiaoduo frowned: "My parents passed away early. Before my death, my father asked me to give them our house and fields, just in exchange for them raising me until I get married."

"It's good for them. They have been thinking of selling me. I would rather run away on my own than let them make a penny on me!"

Mrs. Lu shook her head, "Hey, you kids, you were young and ignorant back then. What you see adults doing is different from the truth. Hey, you also listen to what I said.

If you don’t come in, I won’t bother talking to you!”

Mrs. Lu turned around and took out a steady stream of things from another twine bag.

"Look, these are the little clothes and shoes that I made for you. Although you are not at home, during the Chinese New Year these years, my parents made new clothes and shoes for your sister and younger brothers and sisters. They also made you some new clothes and shoes."

portion.”

"And these are the red-headed ropes and little velvet flowers your father bought for you..."

"These little velvet flowers are a bit worn. They were damaged by your sister Cailing. Because of this, my mother even scolded her..."

Xiaohua was surprised when she saw Mrs. Lu sticking her butt out and taking things out one after another from the twine bag.

Looking at these things in front of her, and then at the middle-aged couple in front of her, Xiaohua looked complicated.

Madam Liu was so moved that she wiped her tears and said, "I thought all stepmothers in the world were equally cruel, but I didn't expect Madam Lu that you are really nice to Xiaohua..."

Even Yang Ruoqing, who was sitting on the stool, was a little stunned.

These little clothes and shoes were just like the ones she had prepared for Chen'er. Each set was different in size, and they were all made based on the guesswork of the child's body growth every year.

If these clothes and shoes are really made by Lu for Xiaohua, then...

"Dad, aunt..."

Xiaohua held those clothes, tears streaming down her face, and finally called Xu Dakui and Lu.

Lu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Dakui in disbelief.

"Dakui, did you hear that? Xiaohua called us, does my daughter recognize us?"

Lu was so excited that she slapped Xu Dakui's arm vigorously.

Xu Dakui was also grinning, his eyes bright red.

Seeing this, Xiaohua's tears became even more intense.

Mrs. Lu quickly pushed Xu Dakui away, hugged Xiaohua, and raised her sleeves to wipe Xiaohua's tears.

"Good girl, let's not cry anymore. Today is a good day and we all want to be happy..."

Xiaohua nodded.
