“Alright, Xiao Xiao, come and play with me more often in the future. If I write new calligraphy and paintings in the future, I’ll leave them to you first.” Grandpa Fang was delighted by Yuan Xiao’s provocation, and Yuan Xiao also received a new message from the system.
[Congratulations, Host. You have completed the mission and successfully obtained 100 points! Moreover, the special ability ‘Heavenly Dao rewards diligence’ has been activated. The Host can enjoy a 100% reward that is proportional to the effort put in!]
Yuan Xiao did not expect that this ordinary calligraphy would accidentally activate the special ability provided by the system. According to the system, she would receive the same reward as long as she worked hard in the future. This way, as long as she worked hard, she would definitely obtain complete success.
The unexpected surprise made Yuan Xiao very happy, and her life in the villa was especially smooth.
Yuan Xiao spent the remaining few days with Grandpa Fang. They played chess, drank tea, and chatted. Grandpa Fang got to know Yuan Xiao better and liked her more and more.
It was not until the day she planned to return to the city that Grandpa Fang reluctantly said goodbye to Yuan Xiao. She even promised to come to the villa to play again during the next holiday.
The journey was tiring, and Yuan Xiao was sent home by Fang Ming. Because she had told Feng Mei and Shen Hai in advance, Yuan Xiao smelled the fragrance of food as soon as she entered.
“Dad, Mom, I missed you so much!” Yuan Xiao ran forward and gave her parents, who were preparing food, a big hug.
This feeling of having someone waiting at home warmed Yuan Xiao’s heart. Her choice in this life allowed her to have a happy family and the love of her parents.
“This child, your mother is always worried that you won’t be used to the food outside.” Shen Hai looked at his daughter in front of him, his eyes filled with joy and happiness. “Now, not only does she not lose weight, but her face seems to have become much rounder.”
Yuan Xiao rubbed her cheeks. Indeed, she felt more chubby than before. It was inevitable that she would gain weight. Grandpa Fang had always asked the chef to make her favorite dishes. It would be strange if Yuan Xiao did not get fat.
“I won’t let your daughter starve to death.” Yuan Xiao smiled and asked her parents, “Dad, Mom, it’s almost the new year. Can the restaurant take a break for a few days?”
“We can rest, but our business is too good. We should be back to work in less than a week.” Although Feng Mei was busy with the restaurant, business was good and she was happy. Although she was a little tired, the turnover was really increasing.
“In any case, our family of three can have a good reunion dinner this year.” Shen Hai was very excited. This was the first reunion dinner the couple had spent with Yuan Xiao.
The atmosphere between the three of them was very harmonious. The hot food was accompanied by laughter. This was the first time Yuan Xiao felt that the bond between family members was a beautiful thing.
Yuan Xiao’s house was filled with laughter, while Yuan Ming and Sun Li’s house was cold and desolate.
As the new year was approaching, Sun Li gave the auntie at home a week off to return to her hometown. Due to her severe morning sickness, she had lost a lot of weight.
“You’ve eaten a lot of supplements, but why haven’t you gained weight?” Yuan Ming looked at the haggard Sun Li and felt a little worried.
“I’m feeling suffocated. How can I put on any weight?” Sun Li’s stomach had begun to show, but her face was clearly smaller.
“Xiao Li, if you’re unhappy about anything, tell me. I’ll try my best to help you fulfill it, okay?” Yuan Ming’s heart really ached for Sun Li. As an advanced age pregnant mother, if she did not recuperate well, giving birth would be very risky.
“Why am I unhappy? Aren’t you asking the obvious?” Sun Li frowned, her eyes slightly red.
“Sigh, I know you miss Xiao Xiao.” Yuan Ming sighed. Looking at the cold room, he was a little dissatisfied. “I don’t know what’s wrong with Xiao Wei.
She keeps running to the Jiang family. She knows that you’re pregnant, but she still ignores you.”
“Don’t mention her anymore. I get angry when you mention her!” Sun Li was originally very concerned about Yuan Wei, but ever since she was pregnant, Yuan Wei seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. Sun Li was angry, but she did not know how to be angry with Yuan Wei. This child seemed to have never been close to her.
“If Xiao Xiao was at home, she would definitely pester me for pocket money during the new year. She likes so many things and must buy the latest clothes and jewelry during the new year. It seems that no matter how much money I give her, it won’t be enough.”
Yuan Ming recalled that when Yuan Xiao was at home, although she always pestered him for money, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
“That’s right. Xiao Xiao is willful and likes to wheedle. If she was at home, it would definitely be very lively now.” After Sun Li said that, she actually sobbed..
