After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Lying back down next to her younger brother, Xu Qingman's excitement hadn't faded yet. She never imagined she would have such an opportunity.

When Xu Qing and the other children woke up, they didn't see their mother and were about to cry, but in the blink of an eye, they found their older sister lying next to them, smiling at them.

He burst into giggles instantly. Xu Qingman heard her younger brother's clear and adorable laughter. She immediately sat up and picked him up.

Without any hesitation, I carried him to the toilet, helped him pee, and then started playing with him.

"Qinghe, look at your sister, give her a smile."

"Hehehe~ Sister, ah, sister."

"Yes, call me 'sister,' you're so good." Xu Qingman kissed Xiao Qinghe's little face.

Although her mother was an older mother, Xiao Qinghe was raised to be chubby and very cute.

"Manman, is your little brother awake yet? If he is, bring him out. Your dad will be home from get off work soon, and we'll be having dinner in a bit," Xu Meifen called from the kitchen.

"Got it, Mom."

Xu Qingman gently picked up the chubby little boy from the bed and said with a smile, "Little Qinghe, shall I take you to find your mother?"

"Mommy, let's go find it." Xu Qing and the children responded happily.

She carried him to the restaurant, put him in his little walker, and let him run around on his own. Although he was only sixteen months old, he already weighed over twenty pounds, and it was quite tiring for Xu Qingman to carry him.

After all, at that time, she was still the pampered daughter of the family. Apart from occasionally helping to sweep the floor or learning to cook a dish, her mother mostly washed her clothes.

Mr. Xu was a truck driver when he was young, but he quit his job in the early 1990s to start his own business. Now, he owns a fairly large auto repair shop.

The small courtyard house, over 200 square meters, where they live, was bought by Mr. Xu when he was young. After all, it's in the heart of the city, and it cost tens of thousands of yuan back then.

Not long after, they heard Mr. Xu's small truck arrive at their doorstep.

"Manman, where's your mother?" Mr. Xu asked curiously. Every day at this time, his wife would have already prepared dinner and be waiting at the gate with their son in her arms.

Xu Qingman looked at her adoptive father with red eyes and said in a low voice, "Dad, Mom is in the kitchen. She said there are still some dishes that haven't been prepared yet."

Sensing that his daughter was upset, Xu Jingheng patted her head and said gently, "Why is Daddy's little princess unhappy? Are you worried about not doing well on the test?"

Then he smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't do well on the test, Dad can make money. In a while, Dad will buy you two shops, and you won't have to do anything. You can just sit and collect rent every month."

"If you want to work in the future, Dad will find you an easy job. If you don't want to work, you can stay home and play. Our family doesn't lack that little bit of money."

Seeing her father's unwavering love for her, and thinking of the days when she had no relatives to rely on, Xu Qingman could no longer hold back her tears.

"Waaah, Dad." Just like when she was a child, she hugged her father and leaned against his not-so-broad, but very warm embrace.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Don't cry. Tell Dad who bullied my precious daughter. I'll go find them." Xu Jingheng patted his daughter's back tenderly and comforted her in a low voice.

Since finding out his wife was pregnant, the child had never cuddled and acted like that again. But after more than twenty years of marriage, and having always thought his wife was infertile, they certainly couldn't bear to give up now that she was pregnant.

After all, this is a child they finally had. Moreover, their parents, who are over sixty years old, only have one son, and regardless of gender, they would definitely want a child born to their son.

However, seeing their daughter, whom they had cherished and doted on for over a decade, becoming increasingly silent and unwilling to be close to them, Xu Jingheng and his wife were heartbroken.

But now, although his daughter is willing to be close to him, seeing her crying like this breaks his heart.

Just as he was getting anxious, Xu's mother, Xu Meifen, finished cooking and brought in two dishes. She slammed the dishes on the table and said angrily, "Who could possibly bully our Manman? It's that Zhao Liping."

Not long after you left for work today, she suddenly showed up at the door. She said the whole family regretted abandoning Manman, and that the child's father had been very ill recently, so they wanted to see the child.

Seeing how pitifully she was crying, and considering she had just given birth, I agreed to let her into Manman's room.

Then, Xu Meifen continued with a face full of regret, "Who knew that Manman didn't want to go with her, and she actually dragged the child out, and I couldn't stop her. If it weren't for Jinchen from the Yu family next door coming out to help, Manman would have been snatched away by her."

I think all her talk about wanting a child is fake; she definitely has some ulterior motive. Old Xu, go out and find out what their intentions are so we can be on guard.

Hearing his wife's words, Xu Jingheng gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't believe his own daughter had almost been snatched away even in his own home. Luckily, she was smart enough not to be fooled, otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

After all, that couple wasn't good people. For over a decade, no one had come to see the child even once. They wouldn't have come looking for anything unless they had some ulterior motive.

Xu Jingheng thought that no matter what their purpose was, if the child himself was unwilling, he was not one to back down and would never let him achieve his goal. After all, he hadn't been wasting his years of hard work; otherwise, how could a country boy have built this family business?

Withdrawing the fierceness from his eyes, Xu Jingheng calmly said, "Don't be afraid. As long as I'm not home these next few days, keep the front door closed."

“I went out to inquire this afternoon. No matter what they want to do, I will not let them hurt my daughter.”

After that, apart from Xiao Qinghe, who knew nothing, the rest of the family ate a tasteless lunch together.

In the evening, Xu Jingheng entered the door together with Yu Jinchen.

Mrs. Xu stared at the two of them strangely. After all, ever since the child's father learned that the Yu family's son next door had his eye on his little darling, he had never given him a kind look, let alone brought him home.

"Meifen, go cook two more dishes. Xiaochen and I are going to have a drink tonight," Mr. Xu instructed his wife with a smile.

"Dad, Brother Jinchen, what's going on?" Xu Qingman asked curiously.

"Haha... Take your time, we'll talk about it after we finish eating." Then she took her chubby son from her daughter's arms and started playing with him.

After being held by his father, Xiao Qing happily smeared drool all over his face. This afternoon, because his father had something on his mind, he didn't hold him, and the little boy cried when he saw his father leave.

Yu Jinchen looked at the little girl intently and noticed that the fear on her face from noon was gone. He then turned around and started teasing Xiao Qinghe as well.

He dared not stare at the little girl any longer; Uncle Xu was already glaring at him. He had finally agreed to let her in, so he couldn't be in a hurry.
