Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 508: The Origins of Madam Feng (2)

"No, no need to go, I’ve already finished making the meal," Jiaojiao said, rolling her eyes at her elder brother in secrecy and awkwardly chuckling a few times in Feng Xi’s direction.

Feng Xi took her slightly rough hands in his own, his face flushing, "My sister, she’s returned, and she wants to see you and Auntie, to invite you over for a gathering."

"What, Little Xuxu is back? When did this happen? Wait for me, I’m going to call Mom, and we’ll be right over." Caught up in excitement, she left Feng Xi standing as she ran inside to tell her mother the good news.

Feng Xi reached back to scratch his head, looked towards the kitchen stove still aflame, stood up to enter the kitchen, pulled out the kindling from the stove, and placed it under his feet. After stomping on it to ensure no sparks remained, he took it out of the kitchen.

As soon as Auntie heard Feng Xuxu had returned, a wide smile spread across her face that she couldn’t hide, it had been a good few years since she had interacted with that young girl. Now, without a word, she had returned, which delighted her to no end.

"Feng Xi, did Xuxu come back by herself?" Quickly organized, Auntie saw Feng Xi coming out of the kitchen and immediately grabbed his hand, asking urgently.

"Auntie, it is Feng Xuxu who has returned, and this time she has brought along my two adorable nieces and my nephew, and even my brother-in-law came back with her," Feng Xi joyfully helped Auntie to her feet and chatted as they walked outside.

Zhang Yijiang looked around and saw that no one was paying him any attention. Looking again, Feng Xi seemed more like the son of the house, and he himself appeared to be an outsider. Feeling left out, he frowned, followed them out the door, locked up, and began the walk towards the villa.

Feng Xuxu checked that everything was prepared thoroughly, the seasonings were all ready, only the roasting was left, so she called out loudly, "Start the roasting."

Above the bonfire, a series of long racks were set up, each with a small calf skewered on it. Although small, they were quite plump, and once placed over the fire, the sound of sizzling soon filled the air.

Upon entering the courtyard, Auntie heard a burst of laughter. Her eyesight wasn’t great, so she started to search the crowd for Feng Xuxu’s figure. Seeing this, Feng Xi led her over immediately. Jiaojiao also hadn’t seen Feng Xuxu in a few years, and at this moment, she felt incredibly nervous, her hands trembling slightly. Auntie noticed her daughter’s anxiety, extended her wrinkled hand, and gently patted her, turning her head slightly to whisper reassuringly in her ear, "Don’t worry, it’s all good, sweetheart."

Jiaojiao’s face instantly flushed, understanding the meaning behind her mother’s words, and her gaze towards Feng Xi became exceptionally shy.

"Sister, look who I’ve brought?"

Turning her head, Feng Xuxu saw her elder brother supporting Auntie, whom she hadn’t seen in years. Looking at Auntie’s somewhat hunched back, she remembered the time when she had left home with nothing and it was Auntie’s family who took her in, making clothes and cooking meals for her. Later, though she had offered them the recipe for cold skin noodles when she became successful, they had chosen to divide their earnings, giving one part to the villa and keeping the other for themselves. She only found out about this two years later.

"Auntie!" Feng Xuxu quickly stepped forward, squeezing her elder brother to the side, taking his place in supporting Auntie.

Looking at Feng Xuxu, Auntie noticed that she had grown even more beautiful than before and didn’t look like someone who was married with children at all, holding Feng Xuxu’s hand tight in her own, she said, "Ah, I never imagined I’d get to see you again in my lifetime, I’m so happy."

"Auntie, listen to what you’re saying; you, living another thirty to fifty years won’t be an issue at all." Feng Xuxu supported Auntie, sitting down next to the bonfire, with Feng Xuxu on Auntie’s left, and Sister Jiaojiao to her right. Next to Sister Jiaojiao sat Zhang Yijiang, and beside him was the elder brother, Feng Xi.
