Chapter 1546: Chapter 1548: Blessings of Bodhisattva Chapter 1546: Chapter 1548: Blessings of Bodhisattva He gave the address, hung up the phone, and exchanged a stunned look with Ge Liutao. Both of them had swollen red eyes from crying, and a dazed expression as if they were still trapped in a dreamlike haze.
After staring at each other for a while, Ge Liutao finally found her voice again, âUncle Hai, pinch me. Was it really our Zhuzhu who just called home?â
Chiang Songhai nodded vigorously and said, âYes! It was our Zhuzhu! She even said sheâs coming back tomorrow! Ah Tao, you didnât hear wrongâour daughter is coming home tomorrow!â
Ge Liutaoâs tears immediately started streaming uncontrollably again, as she murmured, âBodhisattva bless us, Bodhisattva bless us.â
Indeed, isnât it the Bodhisattvaâs blessing?
Deep down, they had already assumed that Chiang Qingzhu was no longer alive.
But now, sheâs alive, and sheâs coming home tomorrow!
Both of them were overwhelmed with excitement for quite a while. Finally, after managing to calm down a little, Ge Liutao immediately said, âIâll go tidy up the guest room properly! Iâll strip the sheets and blankets to wash and air them again!â
âThen, then Iâll go water the flowers in the yard? Tomorrow, Iâll cut a few stems and find a vase to put them in. Our Littleâs room always has flowers in it; Zhuzhu would probably like flowers too!â
âNo, Uncle Hai, you should go buy some good glutinous rice flour and also some red fruits. Tomorrow Iâll make Zhuzhu a bowl of sweet egg dumpling soup. Sheâs coming home; she needs to eat something sweet!â
âYes, yes! Iâll go right now.â
âAlso, pick up a big fat chicken. Weâll keep it until tomorrow and slaughter it fresh to make Zhuzhu a pot of chicken soup.â
âYes, yes!â
âOr, why donât we prepare a batch of tea treats?â Ge Liutao continued, âZhuzhu definitely wouldnât know that weâre doing much better financially now. Who knows how much hardship and how many grievances sheâs endured all these years outside. Now that sheâs back this time, we have to take good care of her and help her recover.â
Chiang Songhai nodded his head repeatedly, âOur Little will surely be thrilled too; she finally has a mom now. Iâve always been worried that when Little gets married in the future, her family presence on her side would be too sparse, and neither her parents nor elders would be thereâit wouldnât look proper during the wedding ceremony. Besides, without a real mother around, there are some things that we couldnât properly handle for her. But now, things will be much better; much better indeed.â
âExactly, exactly.â
As Meng Xinian drove Chiang Xiao and Wang Yi back, the car had just stopped outside the main gate when the three got out and immediately saw the gate opening. Walking out was Chiang Songhai, his face lit up with joy.
Chiang Xiao paused for a moment, then grinned, âGrandpa, you heard the sound of the car engine and guessed we were back? You even went out of your way to open the gate to greet me!â
âLit⊠Little?â Chiang Songhai froze.
âReally, now? I thought Iâd give you and Grandma a surprise, so I didnât call in advance, but I didnât think youâd figure it out.â
Chiang Xiao took Wang Yiâs hand and walked up to him, introducing him, âGrandpa, let me introduce youâthis is my close friend Wang Yi. Iâve mentioned her to you before.â
âHello, Grandpa! You can just call me Little Yi,â Wang Yi greeted Chiang Songhai with a bow.
She felt that Chiang Xiaoâs grandfather looked much younger and more vigorous than sheâd imagined.
âAh, Lit⊠Little Yi, hello. Come, come inside and sit!â Chiang Songhai was even happier in his heart. This couldnât be a coincidence, could it? Was it because of the deep mother-daughter bond? Had Chiang Xiao somehow sensed her mom was coming back and decided to return home as well?
He patted Meng Xinianâs shoulder, âXinian, youâre here too. Come inside quickly.â
Things were bustling at home now.
âYou all go inside first; I have to go buy a chicken and some glutinous rice flour.â
Chiang Xiao stopped him, âLet me grab those when I take Wang Yi around for a walk later.â
