Chapter 250: Chapter 248: Ye Lei and Xingyu addressing each other as brothers, Sisi feels anxious
“Mom! When Xuan’er grows up, he will definitely be filial to you,” Di Xuan said seriously.
Liu Sisi didn’t speak, she just stroked his head and smiled!
No matter what the future holds, it is already extraordinary for Di Xuan to express such a view at this moment, as she is not their birth mother after all.
The snow seemed to be getting heavier.
“Miss from the Liu Family, this old man has a piece of linen here. You can wear it for now to block the wind.”
The old man driving the cart passed a piece of linen, which had obviously been used for many years. Liu Sisi didn’t care for the details, she hurriedly expressed her gratitude, lifted the cloth, and shielded herself from the biting cold wind.
“Thank you, Uncle Wang. The wind and rain seem to be getting worse!” Liu Sisi shouted.
The wind and snow constantly blew into her mouth, making it difficult to bear.
“Don’t mention it! A short distance ahead, we will turn around a mountain bay, and the other side is sheltered from the wind. It will feel much warmer there—” Old Wang yelled with effort.
Indeed, after turning around the mountain bay, the freezing wind suddenly became much weaker. Although the sleet in the sky continued to dance, it was not as unbearable as before.
“YingEr, are you very cold?”
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but ask, she had to make sure the child wasn’t getting too cold.
YingEr instinctively burrowed into Liu Sisi’s arms, curling up tightly in the embrace of Di Xuan and Sisi: “Mom, it’s not cold in your arms.”
They finally reached the foot of the mountain, and Liu Sisi took out twice the usual amount of copper coins and handed them to Old Wang.
“Uncle Wang, thank you for coming to pick me up today despite the cold. Please take this money and go home quickly. It looks like the snow is getting worse.”
Old Wang took the copper coins, and laughed happily!
“Alright! I won’t decline the extra coins, I can use them to buy a pot of wine to drink when I get home. You should go home early, too.”
With that said, he happily drove the cart away.
“Let’s go!”
The ground was slippery from the rain and snow. Liu Sisi carried YingEr on her back while holding Xuan’er’s hand, taking deep steps and shallow steps on the road. Under the cold, she felt numb from her thighs down, and her nose and hands were sore from the cold. It was genuinely uncomfortable.
“Why are you back so late? Didn’t you see it was snowing and know to come back earlier?”
A questioning voice rang out, and Liu Sisi’s heart was filled with joy. Then, YingEr was taken from her back by the person who had approached.
Di Yelei directly lifted Di Xuan and held YingEr: “Let’s go! The snow is getting heavier. Be careful not to catch a cold. Once we get home, I have a big surprise for you!” After he said this, he even tried to support her.
Liu Sisi pushed his hand away: “I-I’m fine! What’s the surprise? Hurry up and take the two children home first!”
Having said that, she was now feeling quite warm from running so hard.
When they finally arrived home, Di Yelei quickly closed the main entrance.
As soon as they walked through the main entrance, Liu Sisi immediately noticed something different in the courtyard.
In the stable within the courtyard, two tall horses were tied up: one jujube red and the other dark brown. As if sensing strangers approaching, both horses simultaneously raised their heads and snorted.
“What’s going on here?” Liu Sisi was dumbfounded.
She had just gone out for a while, and when she returned, there were two more horses. Could this be the surprise Ye Lei mentioned?
“How about it? Do you like it? These are some fine horses. Come on, let’s go inside, it’s too cold out here.” Di Yelei spoke as he went straight into the house.
