After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

After a careful look, Father Shen found that fortunately his daughter took good care of herself, much better than he had imagined. However, in his eyes, his daughter still looked thinner and a little listless. He was not good at words and didn't know how to express himself. He could only say dryly, "It's good that you're back. Rest well at home during this time and make up for it. You have lost weight!"

His tone is full of a father's heartache and love for his daughter!

After hearing what Shen's father said, Shen Xiaoxia was a little speechless. She really didn't lose weight. She really didn't treat herself badly in the past two years.

Fortunately, she has the physique that doesn’t make her fat no matter what she eats. She feels great and is very satisfied. If she has the physique that makes her fat even by drinking water, she would really have a headache!

Probably most parents would feel that their children look thinner after returning from a long trip!

Father Shen rode his old but polished bicycle, with Shen Xiaoxia, who was feeling a little emotional, on the back seat, and pedaled all the way towards home.

The cold wind blew, ruffling their hair, as if sending the most gentle blessings to the father and daughter who had reunited after a long separation.

It was early in the morning, and the sun shone through the thin clouds, falling on the ground, casting fine light and shadows, and giving this ordinary day a layer of warm golden glow.

When Shen's father rode his bicycle to take Shen Xiaoxia home, no one in the family had left the house yet. The yard was quiet and peaceful, with only the noise made by Shen's father and Shen Xiaoxia.

Hearing the noise in the yard, Shen's mother guessed that it was Shen's father who had returned!

She was wearing a floral apron that was a little faded from washing but was clean and tidy, with the belt tied tightly around her waist. She was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for the family. The rice porridge in the pot was bubbling and emitting bursts of fragrance.

At this moment, she was stir-frying the vegetables in the pot, thinking to herself that her husband would probably have to make another trip in vain this time, and she didn't know when her daughter's car would arrive!

In the past few days, Shen's father went to the train station every day, leaving with high expectations and returning with a touch of dejection. She saw it all but never stopped him. When she heard someone enter the room, she came out with a spatula in her hand and asked with a hint of concern in her tone, "Did you not receive the call today..."

Before she finished speaking, her gaze instantly passed over Mr. Shen and fell on Shen Xiaoxia who was standing behind him.

At that moment, she seemed to be cast under a spell of immobilization. She froze and almost dropped the shovel in her hand. Her mouth opened in surprise, her eyes instantly reddened, and she stammered, "Xia Xia...!"

Her voice was filled with endless surprise, longing and disbelief, as if the daughter in front of her was a phantom that she only dared to hope would appear in her dreams!

After just a moment of stunned silence, Shen's mother reacted immediately. She hurriedly put down the shovel in her hand, making a crisp sound.

Then, she quickly wiped her hands with her apron and walked quickly to Shen Xiaoxia, her steps a little hurried and with a bit of impatience. After coming in front of her daughter, she looked Shen Xiaoxia up and down carefully several times, her eyes full of cherishing and loving kindness.

"Xia Xia, you... my daughter, you're back? It's good that you're back...!"

Reaching out her hand tremblingly, Shen's mother first gently touched Shen Xiaoxia's head, as if to confirm that all this was not a dream, then slowly moved down and touched Shen Xiaoxia's face. The touch felt warm and real.

Then, as if he could no longer suppress his inner emotions, he hugged Shen Xiaoxia tightly in his arms, and with his arms, he seemed to pour all the longing he had felt for her in the past two years into this hug. He murmured in a tearful voice, "Xia Xia..., it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Without waiting for Shen Xiaoxia to react, Shen's mother suddenly let go of Shen Xiaoxia, still with her hands on her shoulders, and looked at her carefully again, her voice trembling with excitement, "Xia Xia, come on, let mom see...!"

She stared at Shen Xiaoxia and blurted out a series of questions, "How have you been these past two years? How's the food? Has it been particularly hard? Life must have been difficult, right? You..."

Seeing how excited Mother Shen was, asking one question after another, Shen Xiaoxia was also very moved and could only interrupt her, "Mom...!"

I had been shouting for half a month before, and this time I spoke up without any difficulty!

This call of "Mom" made Shen's mother's eyes red again. Seeing that she was really excited, Shen Xiaoxia had no choice but to change the subject. She said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Mom, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Hearing Shen Xiaoxia say that she was hungry, Shen's mother no longer cared about those questions and replied repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Mom will prepare something for you to eat!"

After saying that, she wiped her tears with her sleeves and hurried to the kitchen!

Father Shen put the luggage on the ground, turned to Shen Xiaoxia, and asked her with a concerned and loving smile on his face, "Xia Xia, are you thirsty? Do you want daddy to pour you some water?"

Shen Xiaoxia was looking at the furnishings in the house. She hadn't been back for almost two years, and it seemed that the house was not much different from before she left. When she heard what Shen's father said, she turned her head to look at him with a faint smile on her lips, "Dad, you've suddenly become so polite. I'm not used to it..."

Hearing this, Father Shen was slightly startled at first, then he realized that he seemed too reserved and polite. He pulled the corners of his mouth a little embarrassedly, revealing a slightly honest smile, "Yes, you're right, this is your home, do whatever you want, just do whatever you want!"

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I'll go wake Weidong and Nannan up. After knowing you were coming back, Nannan has been talking about you for several days. If he knew you were here, he would definitely be very happy!"

When Shen's father mentioned Shen Weidong, Shen Xiaoxia's thoughts drifted away. She remembered that her elder brother had a girlfriend and seemed to be planning to get married during the Chinese New Year. She asked for leave and used this as an excuse to others.

I just don't know if this matter has been confirmed yet?

“Xia Xia…!”

A shout interrupted Shen Xiaoxia's thoughts. She turned around and looked at the person who called her. It was Shen Weidong, the eldest brother of the Shen family.

I haven't seen him for almost two years. He looks more mature now, with a taller and more sturdy figure, giving people a sense of security that they can rely on.

Shen Xiaoxia looked at him, smiled gently, and called out, "Brother!"

Shen Weidong strode over, and with the doting of a brother, he patted Shen Xiaoxia on the shoulder with a smile on his face, "Glad to be back...!"

As he spoke, he gently pulled Shen Xiaoxia's wrist and pulled her to sit at the dining table, his eyes full of concern, "Tell me about your life these past two years, brother?"

“Third sister…!!”

Just as Shen Xiaoxia was about to answer her eldest brother's question, a shout stopped her from speaking. She turned her head and saw Shen Nannan rushing towards her like a firecracker.
