Chapter 400 Shu Jie (1)
It was a little after six in the evening.
The sun was setting, and Ruan Lin was busy making dinner in the kitchen. Several boys and Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu were playing upstairs. Several brothers were very worried about Ruan Jiaojiao and tried their best to coax her.
But Ruan Jiaojiao was really in a bad mood, holding Sanmao and sitting in a chair in a daze.
When there was a cry of surprise downstairs, Ruan Jie was trying to tease Ruan Jiaojiao. Ruan Chi was leaning against the window and watching. The sound from outside diverted his attention. He looked out and his eyes widened immediately.
His eyes were still on the outside, but his hands were waving vigorously at Ruan Jie: "Jie Zi, Jie Zi, look outside, come and see, is that the aunt?"
Ruan Jie turned his head suddenly after hearing this.
For a moment, he could not take care of Ruan Jiaojiao. He rushed over, leaned on the windowsill and looked out, but only saw a silhouette, but that silhouette was enough to make him excited.
That was really his mother!
It really was!
Ruan Jie was so excited that he turned around and yelled at Ruan Jiaojiao: "Sister, mom is back!" Then he rushed out.
The boys behind him looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that their aunt would come back at this time. They also followed Ruan Jie to run out to watch the excitement.
Only Ruan Jiaojiao was still sitting in her seat with Sanmao in her arms, as if she was not affected at all, but her trembling hands had betrayed her emotions at the moment.
Xu Xu was standing beside her.
Accompanying her quietly.
Ruan Jiaojiao asked: "Brother Xu, if I suddenly disappear one day, will you still remember me?"
"No." Xu Xu replied that he would not let her disappear.
But Ruan Jiaojiao thought he answered that he would not forget, so she pursed her lips and moved down from the chair. She knew that she could not hide, so she should face it calmly.
What did Shu Jie know, and who did the amulet protect? She could not avoid it without seeing it.
Ruan Jiaojiao put Sanmao down and walked towards the stairs, her back straight, like a brave soldier going to die.
Xu Xu followed behind her, his eyes never leaving her from beginning to end.
Downstairs, there was another lively scene. Ruan Jie ran downstairs and saw a beautiful woman surrounded by a group of people. He immediately rushed to her crying: "Mom!"
The woman was dealing with the enthusiastic villagers. When she heard the voice, she looked over and saw Ruan Jie rushing down. Her eyes were red.
Shu Jie was seventeen years old when she went to the countryside. She was with Ruan Jianguo at the age of eighteen. She gave birth to Ruan Hao at the age of nineteen. Now Ruan Hao is fifteen years old, and she is a woman in her thirties, but time has been very kind to her. After so many years, she is still as young and beautiful as ever. Of course, her greatest charm is not her beauty, but the intellectual beauty that other women of this era do not have.
Such temperament can never be cultivated without a century-old family of scholars.
Seeing her son flying down, Shu Jie's eyes were red, she half squatted down and hugged his body.
"Xiao Jie." The voice was also gentle like the sound of running water, making people feel comfortable.
"Mom, why did you come back just now? I have been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you would never come back." Ruan Jie cried. The half-grown boy usually shed blood and sweat, and rarely shed tears, but he didn't know how many tears he secretly shed when it came to Shu Jie's matter.
