Chapter 514 - 514 514
514: 514.
The Tranquility of Time 514: 514.
The Tranquility of Time The setting sun cast a brilliant glow on the western sky.
Su Liang and Gu Ling were watering the vegetables in the backyard with the children when they heard someone calling, “Sister Su Liang!
Sister Su Liang!”
Su Liang put down the water ladle and went to the front yard to find a tall and a short teenager running towards her.
It was Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi, who had just returned from school.
The once rough and mischievous little boys had grown into refined and elegant young men.
Bai Xiaohu had grown much taller and slimmer in the past two years, and his eyes sparkled brightly, retaining their innate simplicity and innocence when he smiled.
Zhuzi, who used to be sickly, was now rosy-cheeked, and still grinned sheepishly with squinted eyes.
As soon as the two entered the house and heard from their mother that Su Liang had returned, they rushed over without even putting down their school bags.
However, they became shy once they reached Su Liang and stopped in their tracks.
Bai Xiaohu saluted her solemnly, “Sister Su Liang, you’re finally back.”
Zhuzi mimicked him, which amused Su Liang to no end.
She patted Bai Xiaohu on the shoulder, “You’ve grown quite a bit taller.”
Zhuzi silently straightened his chest, and when Su Liang praised him as well, “Zhuzi has grown taller too,” he immediately beamed with joy, his eyes squinting.
Looking at the two brothers, Su Liang seemed to see a reflection of her own time after crossing over.
She hadn’t paid much attention to her own physical changes, although Gu Ling had mentioned that she had grown taller since she first arrived—but through the children, she could clearly sense the passing of time.
Gu Ling appeared behind Su Liang, and Bai Xiaohu quickly saluted him, calling out, “Brother Gu.”
“Mm,” Gu Ling nodded as he appraised them, “You’ve both grown up.”
Ji Xiaoshu and Zhengzheng brought Gu Xiaonuan over, and Su Liang introduced them to each other.
Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi glanced at Gu Xiaonuan, then at Gu Ling, and couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty, which surpassed even the fairy children depicted in New Year paintings!
Su Liang laughed, “Your grandmother said the same thing.
Let’s go inside and sit down.”
Once they were in the room, Su Liang presented the gifts she had prepared for the two children.
Over the years, while they were in the capital city, they had kept in touch with Su Village through letters.
Every year, Mr.
and Mrs.
Bai would send local specialty products from their home to the city, and Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi would write to Su Liang and Gu Ling after school.
Su Liang would always send them letters and gifts in return.
Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi took their gifts and thanked Su Liang, telling her that Mrs.
Bai had asked them to invite Su Liang and Gu Ling over for dinner.
“Alright, you go back first, and we’ll be there shortly,” Su Liang said, ruffling Zhuzi’s hair like she used to.
Zhuzi nodded vigorously, “Sister Su Liang, do come quickly!”
