Chapter 1970: The Warmth Of A Home
While Xiao Ding was talking on the phone, Jiang Yao patiently sat by the side and waited until Xiao Ding and his siblings were done. After chatting with his nephews and nieces, who were almost the same age as him, he reluctantly handed the phone back to Jiang Yao.
He wiped his eyes and looked at Jiang Yao’s phone for a few seconds. Then he said, “My brothers and sisters said that the whole family would come to pick me up. My brother said that life at home is much better now. My brother went out to work a few years ago and earned some money. The family built a new brick house next to the old one. My brother didn’t dare to tear down the old house because he was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find my way home.”
Xiao Ding kept wiping his tears with the back of his hand. “Auntie Jiang, do you know? I’m actually very scared. While I’m looking for my sister, I’m afraid that she might no longer remember me. I might be homesick, but my family might no longer remember me.”
“You’re thinking of them, thinking of home. They’re also thinking of you, waiting for you to come home. That was the most beautiful process and also the most torturous process.”
However, once there was an outcome, that torturous process would eventually turn into a little bit of warmth that melted into the child’s heart, who was far away from home.
Xiao Ding sat there for a long time before he gradually stopped crymg. He met Jiang Yao’s gentle eyes when he looked up again and smiled shyly.
That smile made Jiang Yao feel as if a lifetime had pa.s.sed.
The figure of the young soldier suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yao. Xiao Ding was starting to look a little like him at that time.
After finding his family and receiving the comfort of his family, he began to return to being an ordinary kid with emotions.
Jiang Yao felt a gentle sigh when she saw the change in Xiao Ding. “When my family comes, I will introduce them to my brothers!” Xiao Ding immediately cheered up. “Yanzi is still here. I will come here often to see Yanzi and the others in the future. I will also come to see Uncle Lu and Auntie Jiang.
“By the way, my sister also told me that my nephew is lucky to have your help, Auntie Jiang. Otherwise, he would have died of illness.” Xiao Ding put on the most sincere smile on his face. “Auntie Jiang, you are so nice!”
“I’m not used to you being so sweet all of a sudden.”
Jiang Yao patted Xiao Ding’s shoulder. “Let’s go back and tell the director and your brothers about this good news.”
Xiao Ding immediately stood up and nodded repeatedly. He seemed to be in a hurry. If he did not know that Jiang Yao was pregnant, he would have urged Jiang Yao to run.
When they returned to the cla.s.sroom, Yanzi and the others immediately saw that Xiao Ding had cried. They immediately became a little wary when they saw Jiang Yao’s expression.
“Brother Xiao Ding, what’s wrong?” Yanzi quickly asked.
After all, the children had been together for a very long time. They were dependent on each other. No one could easily intervene between them.
“I found my family! Auntie Jiang helped me find my family! My brothers and sisters said they would come to pick me up by train tomorrow!” Xiao Ding hugged Yanzi tightly and said, “Yanzi, I’ve finally found my family. I can go home now!”
“Really? That’s great!” Yanzi was even more excited than Xiao Ding..
