Hearing this, Liu Xiulan's tears fell.
She let go of Bibi Dong's hand, turned around and wiped her eyes.
"Four years... Do you know how worried we are... We wanted to go to Slaughter City to find you, but Xiao Xi wouldn't let us go."
"My father-in-law knew about it and sent people to follow us nearby to prevent us from leaving Spirit City."
Bibi Dong's nose felt sore, "Mom, you were right not to go, Slaughter City is very dangerous."
"But we just don't trust you. For four years, we haven't even received a letter or even a word from you."
Bibi Dong took a step forward and hugged her mother gently.
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry."
The hall was quiet for a while.
Bi Xiaoxiao I don't know when, I was holding two fruits in my hand.
She ran to Bibi Dong, raised her little face, and raised the fruit above her head.
"Here... here."
Bibi Dong looked down at this little person, looking at her eyes that were exactly the same as Bibi Xi, and his heart suddenly softened.
She knelt down and reached out to hug her.
Bi Xiaoxiao took half a step back, still holding the fruit in her hand, but her body had shrunk. She turned her head and looked at Ling Yuan, with help in her eyes.
Ling Yuan put down the small sweater in his hand, walked over and squatted next to Bi Xiaoxiao.
"Xiao Xiao, this is aunt."
"Didn't you keep asking me where my sister's mother was? She's back."
Bi Xiaoxiao glanced at Bibi Dong again, but this time she didn't flinch. Ling Yuan gently pushed her back and said, "Go, let aunt hug you."
Bi Xiaoxiao took two steps forward, and Bibi Dong picked her up. Bi Xiaoxiao's body stiffened for a moment, and then slowly softened. He put his little hands on Bibi Dong's shoulders and rested his chin on her shoulder, like a koala.
Qian Renxue stood nearby, looking at her mother hugging her cousin, her little mouth pouted.
"I want to hug you too."
"I'll hold you."
After saying that, Qian Xunji bent down to pick her up and put her on his lap.
Liu Xiulan wiped his eyes and his voice returned to its usual crisp tone.
"Have you eaten? There is still pork rib soup in the pot. I'm going to heat it up."
"Mom, don't be busy, we ate at the Worship Hall."
Bibi Xi said with a smile on his face, "It'll be great if my sister and brother-in-law are back. In the past few years, my parents have been talking about you every day, and my ears have become calloused."
Bi Dashan glared at him, Bibi Xi pretended not to notice.
"Sorry for making you suffer."
"By the way, are you married?"
Bibi Xi scratched his head, "I got pregnant half a year after giving birth to Xiao Xiao. I originally wanted to wait until you guys came back to do it, but I waited and waited, and you never came back."
"After that, Uncle Lion pressed me hard, so I had to do it first."
"Hey, something happened and I couldn't attend your wedding."
Ling Yuan came over and took Bi Xiaoxiao from Bibi Dong's arms, "It's okay. Just come back safely. You can stay here tonight."
Qian Xunji asked, "Won't I trouble you?"
"It's no trouble at all. There is still one room at home, and Xiao Xue usually lives there."
The family sat down in the living room. Bibi Xi went to the kitchen to make tea. Ling Yuan put Xiao Xiao on the sofa and covered it with a blanket.
Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji are sitting on the couch, Qian Renxue is sitting on Qian Xunji's lap, Bi Dashan is sitting on the old wicker chair, and Liu Xiulan is sitting next to him.
There are teapots and teacups on the coffee table, as well as a plate of melon seeds and peanuts.
The family chatted for a long time.
Qian Xunji looked at Liu Xiulan and Bi Dashan, "Dad, Mom, do you live now over there with Dong'er or over here with Xiao Xi?"
Liu Xiulan said, "If you are not at home, of course we live here with Xiao Xi and help take care of the children and cook."
Bi Dashan nodded beside him, "I'll go to your place to look at the shop during the day, and take care of it by the way."
"Your house cannot be left empty. You must open the windows every few days to ventilate it, otherwise the furniture will become moldy."
"Besides, we are already Soul King. We never dare to think about it in this life."
Bibi Xi was nibbling an apple next to him, took two bites, and said vaguely, "Dad, you Soul King have been practicing for four years, and both my sister and brother-in-law have entered the ranks of gods."
Bi Dashan glared at him, "What about you? Why aren't you as good as your sister?"
"Can it be compared? What kind of talent does sister have, and what kind of talent do I have?"
"He is Twin Martial Souls, and I am not Twin Martial Souls."
"These excellent genes are not evenly distributed."
Bi Dashan snorted, took a sip from the tea cup, and then started to bicker.
Bibi Dong Listening to the father and son bickering, it felt like they had gone back a few years and nothing had changed.
Maybe this is what home is like.
Back in the room, Qian Renxue was the first to rush in.
She kicked off her leather shoes, stepped on the floor with her bare feet, flopped onto the bed, and buried her face in the pillow.
"My bed..."
