Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 242: Escape from the Mountains (23)

Chen Xianhua did not make the news that Chen Shanshan had been found.

After treating Chen Shanshan's health for a few days, he only told this to some close friends around him.

Everyone was happy for Chen Xianhua, but Chen Shanshan was still afraid of strangers, so Chen Xianhua did not allow them to come and visit Chen Shanshan.

Xiaocao would bring Xiaohua to see Chen Shanshan every day. Chen Shanshan did not resist them. Instead, she would hide in Xiaocao's arms when the caregiver came.

Chen Xianhua felt so sad when he saw his daughter's appearance that he wanted to cry.

His Shanshan really suffered a lot.

"I'll have a family dinner in a few days and introduce you to some people." Chen Xianhua said to Xiaocao, "You've been here for several days now, why are you still so thin?"

Although they have expensive food to eat and comfortable clothes to wear these days, the two children still look so malnourished.

"This is not the time to recuperate," said Xiaocao.

These days, the housekeeper has been cooking various kinds of tonics for people to eat, but Xiaocao doesn't allow Xiaohua to eat too much. They used to eat one meal a day and skip one, but now it's not a good thing to have a big meal every time.

"Well, things need to be done step by step," said Chen Xianhua.

He looked at Xiaohua: "Are you comfortable living in Luyuan?"

Xiaohua glanced at Xiaocao and said timidly, "Comfortable."

Although her sister said that he was her mother's father, that is, her grandfather, Xiaohua was still a little afraid of him.

Chen Xianhua was already kind to this granddaughter who looked like his daughter, and he felt even more distressed when he saw that she had a face very similar to Chen Shanshan but a timid look.

"Just tell the butler if you want something or if you're missing something."

Xiaohua nodded: "Thank you, thank you, Grandpa."

Chen Xianhua sighed and touched Xiaohua's head.

The Chen family's family dinner was scheduled in the sanatorium, and Chen Xianhe and his family arrived early.

Of Chen Xianhe's two sons, only Chen Bingrui got married early. Chen Binghua is still single, and his idleness and indifference are a real headache for others.

Because Chen Shanshan's condition had not yet stabilized, she was not taken to the living room on the first floor.

When Chen Bingrui's wife Ding Min saw Xiaocao and Xiaohua, although their faces were not as bitter as before and they had gained some weight, they looked like they had suffered a lot in the past, and her eyes still turned red.

"You are Xiaocao, right?" Ding Min took Xiaocao's hand and patted it gently: "Good child, I heard from your uncle that you are the one who brought your mother out of the mountains."

"It's really hard on you."

Xiaocao smiled: "It's not hard to do what you should do."

"Let me introduce you to Xiaohui." Ding Min pulled her daughter over and said, "This is my daughter, Chen Jiahui, one year younger than you."

Chen Jiahui looked curiously at her aunt's two daughters who had been missing for 17 years, and Xiaocao also looked at her.

Chen Jiahui looks more like Chen Bingrui. She can’t be said to be very beautiful, but she is quite heroic and has very bright and lively eyes.

"Xiao Hui, this Xiao Cao sister is older than you." Ding Min pulled Xiao Hua over: "This is Xiao Hua's younger sister."

Chen Jiahui wondered why such a rustic name was chosen.

But she also knew that she couldn't say this, so she could only smile.

Chen Binghua came over and said with a smile, "There are more and more women soldiers in the family. The three young ladies will have someone to play with in the future."

When Chen Jiahui saw Chen Binghua, she shouted, "Uncle! You promised me that you would take me out to play!"

Chen Binghua got a headache when he saw his niece, so he brought out his older brother to take the blame: "It's not that I don't want to take you, it's your dad who won't allow it!"

Chen Jiahui looked at Chen Bingrui again, frowning angrily.

...

In addition to the Chen family, Chen Xianhua also invited the Li family to the family dinner.

The Li family is a scholarly family and has always been on good terms with the Chen family. The old man in the Li family’s son, Li Yunhang, was even Chen Shanshan’s fiancé.

Later, Chen Shanshan disappeared and the marriage came to an end.

Li Yunhang and his family of three were invited to the sanatorium. When he saw Chen Xianhua, he apologized and said, "Uncle Chen, my parents have gone back to their hometown to visit relatives and won't be back for a while."

Chen Xianhua waved his hand: "I know, your father told me, it's not a big deal."

"We were very happy to hear that Shanshan is back," said Li Yunhang.

"Come and sit down." Chen Xianhua waved while sitting in a wheelchair.

"Grandpa Chen." Li Yunhang's son Li Yanshu stepped forward and greeted him politely.

"Li Yanshu! Come quickly!" Chen Jiahui shouted at Li Yanshu with bright eyes.

Ding Min patted Chen Jiahui and said, "Can't you be more polite, little girl? Don't you know how to call me brother?"

Li Yanshu is two years older than Chen Jiahui and is 15 this year.

The Li family is a family of scholars. Li Yunhang's parents are both university professors, and Li Yunhang and his wife Yu Xi are also engaged in the education industry. Their only son, Li Yanshu, is gentle and humble, with excellent character and academic performance.

Chen Xianhua likes Li Yanshu very much.

He had wanted to marry Chen Shanshan to Li Yunhang before, and the two families had a verbal engagement, but unfortunately something like that happened.

The Li family is also very honest. Li Yunhang married Yu Xi two years after Chen Shanshan disappeared.

Later, the son Li Yanshu, raised by the two, was also very outstanding. Chen Xianhe and Chen Xianhua both hoped that Chen Jiahui and Li Yanshu could continue the good things that the previous generation failed to achieve.

Chen Xianhua called the Li family over because he wanted Li Yanshu to take better care of his two new sisters at school.

...

Xiaocao looked at Li Yanshu.

He has a straight back, a graceful demeanor, and a handsome and elegant appearance, as fresh and clear as a gurgling stream.

He is also very polite, with a gentle smile on his face, and nods to greet the grass and flowers.

"Yanshu, I'll ask you to take care of these two younger sisters at school in the future." Chen Xianhua patted Li Yanshu's hand.

Li Yanshu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Chen, I will take good care of you."

Li Yunhang said, "Yanshu is in the same school as you. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask him for help."

Xiaocao nodded.

"Let's all sit down and eat."

At the dinner table, Yu Xi asked about Chen Shanshan's health, and Chen Xianhua sighed: "She has suffered a lot."

Li Yunhang and Yu Xi knew that Chen Shanshan's health was probably not very good.

"As long as you're back."

Chen Jiahui was very curious about this aunt. She had only seen photos of Chen Shanshan.

Over the years, I often heard the elders mention Chen Shanshan. She had been missing for 17 years. My great-grandfather searched all over the country but couldn't find her whereabouts. Now she was brought back by her two daughters.

Chen Jiahui was curious, how did the two of them do it?

Her eyes quietly fell on the grass and flowers.

When she heard that her younger sister looked like her aunt, she thought it was just so-so, and that being dark-skinned didn’t look good at all.

My sister is even uglier.

Chen Jiahui only likes good-looking people, so she withdrew her gaze and ate her food.

Xiaocao glanced over imperceptibly and saw Chen Jiahui winking at Li Yanshu, but the other party didn't receive it and was eating quietly with his eyelids lowered.

Ding Min patted Chen Jiahui and whispered, "Eat your meal properly. You don't sit properly."

Chen Bingrui said to Xiaocao, "Why don't you study in the same class with Jiahui? It will be more convenient for you to go to and from school in the future."
