After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times
Chapter 14 A Promise to Xiao Xiao
Ren Chenxi and his companion came to the dilapidated village again. Before the carriage stopped, Xia Yurou couldn't wait to jump out and ran straight to the thatched cottage.
A thin figure was squatting in his yard, concentrating on drawing something on the ground with a branch.
Xia Yurou walked lightly to her side and asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, who are the little people in your painting?"
A familiar voice came into her ears. Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head. When she saw her sister, she was overjoyed. She gently hugged her wrist and pointed at the painting on the ground and said: "Sister, this is you and brother, and the one next to you is Xiaoxiao..."
The three people in the painting are holding hands with smiling faces, a bit like a happy picture of a family of three.
Although the painting Xiaoxiao drew on the ground was rather immature, the emotions in her heart were more sincere than pearls.
Xia Yurou felt warm in her heart and stroked Xiaoxiao's head gently: "Xiaoxiao is really smart. She draws better than her sister."
Receiving the compliment from her sister, Xia Yurou smiled slightly, and the two sweet dimples on her face warmed her heart.
"Xiaoxiao, where is grandma?" Xia Yurou asked softly. She looked around but didn't see her grandma.
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and said, "Grandma went to the town to earn money. She said she would send Xiao Xiao to a private school."
Xia Yurou's heart ached when she heard this, and she gently held Xiaoxiao in her arms: "Next time I come, I will definitely bring you lots of new clothes and schoolbags."
Ren Chenxi, who was standing by, walked around the house and found that water was dripping from a corner of the roof, and it was obvious that the beam was damaged.
"Xiaoxiao, let me help you repair the roof."
After that, he took out some simple repair tools from the carriage, climbed up the ladder onto the roof and repaired the damaged area.
Xia Yurou was taking Xiaoxiao to clean up the fallen leaves and debris in the yard. Her little hands tightly grasped the broom, with a happy smile on her face, as if she was completing a great and arduous task with her sister.
In a corner of the courtyard, a few gorgeous wild flowers bloomed quietly, adding a bit of color to this simple thatched cottage.
Xia Yurou's eyes fell on the wild flowers, as if she saw Xiao Xiao living a happy life in the future.
The sunlight shone through the newly repaired cracks in the roof and onto Xiaoxiao and Xia Yurou's faces. Their love brought unprecedented warmth to Xiaoxiao's young heart.
Xia Yurou took out a paper bag from her package, which contained the cabbage seeds she brought with her when she traveled through time.
"Xiaoxiao, let's grow cabbage together?"
Although she didn't know what the cabbage her sister was talking about was, Xiao Xiao still nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"
The two of them began to get busy. Xia Yurou was responsible for loosening the soil, while Xiaoxiao held the seeds in her little hands and placed them one by one into the small holes dug by her sister.
Although her movements were not very skilled, she was very serious in planting.
After loosening the soil, Xia Yurou accompanied Xiaoxiao to sow the seeds. She also told her the growth process of cabbage, from the seeds sprouting into tender leaves to gradually growing into emerald green cabbage.
There was a gleam in her little eyes, and in her little head she imagined that this place would become a cabbage field in the future, so that she and her grandma would have endless cabbage to eat.
Ren Chenxi stood aside, watching them busy at work quietly, feeling inexplicably moved.
Before Xia Yurou appeared, his life was lonely and desolate, and he thought his gloomy life would end here. But since Xia Yurou appeared, Ren Chenxi felt happiness and happiness he had never experienced before.
After planting the cabbages, they sat on small benches to rest.
The last rays of sunset in the sky gradually faded away, and in a blink of an eye, stars dotted the deep night sky.
"It's getting dark, why hasn't your grandma come back yet?"
Xia Yurou stood in front of the door and looked up at the winding path in the distance, trying to catch a glimpse of the old man returning with her eyes, but after looking for a long time, there was not even a shadow of him.
At this time, Ren Chenxi stepped forward and said to her: "Rou'er, it's time to go back. There are only three days left until the deadline."
When Xiaoxiao learned that her sister was leaving, she held her hand tightly and said, "Sister, you must come visit me often. Here is the cabbage field we planted together."
Xia Yurou stared at Xiaoxiao, her eyes full of reluctance, and then took off an exquisite necklace from her neck, which was inlaid with a small jade pendant. This was a piece of jewelry that she had bought in modern times for more than 1 yuan.
She gently put the necklace on Xiaoxiao's neck: "Xiaoxiao, this is a gift from your sister. It's like your sister is always with you."
Xiaoxiao held the necklace tightly, with crystal tears sparkling in her eyes, and she tried hard to hold back the tears from falling.
She placed her small hands gently on the jade pendant and rubbed it, feeling the love and care from her sister and the concern that was about to leave.
"Sister, when the cabbages grow up, Xiaoxiao will pick the biggest one and wait for you to take it here."
Looking at Xiaoxiao's tender face, Xia Yurou's reluctance surged like a tide. She bent down and held Xiaoxiao in her arms, as if she wanted to put all the warmth and love into this embrace.
The tiny strands of hair gently brushed against Xia Yurou's cheek, carrying a faint scent of earth and grass.
Her little hands tightly wrapped around Xia Yurou's neck, and she couldn't help but let her tears fall, dripping onto Xia Yurou's shoulders and wetting them.
Xia Yurou's eyes also turned red. She gently stroked Xiaoxiao's back and said in a choked voice, "Xiaoxiao, you have to listen to grandma. Sister will definitely come back."
Ren Chenxi watched them hugging each other tightly, and an unspeakable sadness welled up in his heart. He coughed lightly, breaking this silent and affectionate scene.
Xia Yurou gently let go of Xiaoxiao and turned to look at Ren Chenxi: "Your Majesty, after we report to the Emperor, I want to come back and bring Xiaoxiao and her grandmother to live in the palace. Is that okay? I want to give Xiaoxiao a better environment to grow up in."
Ren Chenxi was slightly stunned, and quickly agreed to her request: "This Prince Chen's Mansion will be his little new home, and I will also find him the best private school teacher."
Xia Yurou heard his words and said to Xiaoxiao happily: "Xiaoxiao, did you hear what your brother said? You will have a new home in the future. Not only will you have brothers and sisters to accompany you, but you will also have Sister Xiaoxue and the teacher to teach you how to read and write."
Xiaoxiao tightly grasped the corner of Xia Yurou's clothes. She was afraid that if she let go, her sister would disappear from her sight.
Xia Yurou gently stroked the little face: "You have to be strong. I will come back to pick you up when I finish my work."
As night fell, the coachman drove the carriage slowly, and the wheels made a dull rolling sound as they rolled over the dirt road.
Xia Yurou pressed tightly against the car window, her eyes fixed on the figure in front of the hut through the night.
Xiaoxiao stood in front of the door, watching the direction her sister's carriage left in, holding the necklace tightly in her hand.
The carriage gradually went away, and Xia Yurou's eyes were full of reluctance. She stretched out her hand to catch Xiaoxiao's gradually becoming blurred figure, but she could only touch the cold window.
A cool breeze blew into the carriage with the scent of soil and grass, like a small smell...
