C178 (2/2)

In front of the two elders, the Crane Forest was still as courteous as ever. It was warm like jade and seemed to be easy to get along with them.

Therefore, when the two old men spoke these words apologetically, the dissatisfaction in their hearts was immediately wiped away.

”Work is more important, work is still more important!”

”Even though you said that, it's a pity that you're a bit late. Otherwise, you would have been able to see Xiao Xiao!”

The two old men smiled and spoke with emotion.

However, before he could hear these words, He Lin froze on the spot, and said with some disbelief: ”You are saying ….” Xiaoxiao was in the Dong Family Village just now? ”

That shouldn't be, why did that girl suddenly think of something and come here?

Mother Dong nodded. ”Then it's fate that the child left at noon. The two of you actually brushed past each other like that!”

Crane lowered his head, his drooping eyelids covering the ripples beneath his eyes. ”So that's how it is. What a pity it is that we haven't seen each other in such a long time …”

The two old men looked at each other, and saw some hesitation in each other's eyes.

In the end, Mother Dong was the first to speak, ”Xiao Lin, you and Xiao Xiao, is there any conflict between the two of you?”

”Why do you say that?”

According to Dong Xiaoxiao's personality, she wouldn't tell her family about the matter between them. However, what went wrong?

Mother Dong quickly waved her hands, ”Don't be so suspicious, I was just guessing! Recently when Xiao Xiao returned, I felt that there was something wrong with that child … ”

These words made He Lin a bit uneasy. If it was Dong Xiaoxiao, then even if there was a big trouble outside, she would secretly adjust her mood to meet her parents.

Thinking about this, he could not help but ask with some worry, ”Can Uncle and Auntie tell me more specifically? After all, I haven't seen her for a long time, so I'm a bit worried … ”

Father Dong let out a deep sigh, ”In the past, that girl had always had a warm and gentle personality. She was also very patient with the children around her, but this time, it was as if she had become a different person.”

”The children in the village loved to stick close to her and play. That little girl's attitude towards them could be considered to be indulgent.”

”But this time, when I came back, I actually scared Niuniu to the point that she was crying. After a while, she would turn around and leave when she saw Xiao Xiao. I don't know what happened …”

Mother Dong paused for a split-second before she added, ”Not only that, even our work and rest habits have greatly changed. In short, there are some things that we are not used to …”

A hint of gloom flashed through his eyes, and he immediately gave up on the idea of staying here.

Xiao Xiao must have had a problem, but in front of the two elders, he could only try to smooth things over.

”Maybe it's because there's been too much pressure at work recently that I'm in a bad mood! Uncle, Auntie, I'm a little worried for Xiaoxiao, so I won't stay here any longer. I'll come back to visit you guys next time with Xiaoxiao! ”

The two elders were naturally worried for their daughter, so they didn't ask her to stay.
