Chapter 125: Morning and Evening
Mother Xu patted Xu Chuniang’s hand and said in relief.
“Good boy, your father is smiling away, before leaving also said that you are more successful than the male children, the family has produced a fairy, but also for the ancestors to win the honor.”
Xu Chuniang sniffled and nodded vigorously.
Xu mother’s eyes contained anticipation, somewhat tentatively asked, “Third girl ah, this time back is not going to leave?”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “I won’t be back for long this time. In a little over two months, I’ll be leaving.”
She didn’t say anything about being stationed in Yao Yue County.
Her family had their new lives, and she had her own path to follow.
Disappointment flashed across Mother Xu’s face, but was quickly replaced with a smile.
“It’s okay, it’s already good to be able to stay at home for a while, what kind of dishes do you want to eat, I’ll go make them for you.”
Since cultivating the Dao, Xu Chuniang had already gone sixteen years without eating grains and cereals, but at this moment, looking at her mother’s attentive face, she couldn’t bear to brush off her good intentions.
“I’ll drink white porridge.”
Most of the white congee was water, relatively speaking the turbidity would be less.
“Good, good, Mother will go and make it for you.”
Mother Xu answered and went into the house to start opening up.
At this time, the two nieces and nephews came home from school, and after learning that their aunt, who had gone to cultivate immortality since they were young, had returned, they were both curious.
“Third Aunt, are you a fairy now, so can you take me flying?”
“Third Aunt, I want to be a fairy too, I want to be a fairy!”
Xu Chuniang replied to the two with a smile, “Auntie isn’t a divine immortal, and she doesn’t know how to fly. Wanting to be a divine immortal isn’t that easy, you can’t do it without a spiritual root.”
The sister-in-law at the side was moved inwardly at these words, although she didn’t know, what skills her third sister had learned by following the immortals all these years.
But it was an indisputable fact that the third sister looked young and fresh, with an outstanding temperament.
If only the two children of my family could be immortals with the third sister.
“Third sister, why don’t you give a look, can my two children become immortals?”
Xu Chuniang nodded after a moment of contemplation, her nephew was eleven years old and her niece was nine years old, the two of them were just at the right age for cultivation.
“It is possible. But sister-in-law, don’t get your hopes up too much, only one in a thousand possesses a spiritual root.”
Although she didn’t have anything on her that was specifically used to measure spirits, it was still possible to simply probe whether the two children had spirit roots.
Her sister-in-law was overjoyed at her words and nodded, “I know, but I’m just letting them give it a try.”
After saying that, she made the two children stand obediently.
Xu Chuniang first looked at her eleven year old nephew, directly transforming silk with her aura and sending a sliver of it into his body’s meridians.
The aura traveled around his body before exiting, and no spirit root was found.
Next, Xu Chunniang used the same technique to test her nine-year-old niece, and there was still no spiritual root.
She shook her head, “They don’t have spirit roots and can’t cultivate.”
When her sister-in-law heard this, she was inevitably a little disappointed.
However, on second thought, if they had spirit roots, it was highly likely that the child would be like the third sister once was, who would leave home in order to become immortal, and might not be able to return for many years thereafter.
Thinking about it, she felt a lot better in her heart.
With a child by her side, whether or not she can be successful is of secondary importance.
Before dinner, the old fifth Xu Dongmei in the medical center finally returned.
But when Xu Chuniang left home, she was only two years old, and had almost no impression of her own third sister, only knowing that there was a third sister who was taken away by a fairy.
The sisters met and remained speechless relative to each other for a long time, and in the end it was Xu Chunniang who took the lead and broke the silence.
“In a flash of a dozen years, Old Fifth is so old.”
She was somewhat emotional, remembering that when she left, Old Five was only about to learn to walk.
At that time, the closest thing to Old Five was her, her older sister. “You two sisters don’t stand around, come eat.”
Seeing this scene, Mother Xu’s face revealed a smile as she brought the meal onto the table, “Third girl the white porridge you asked for is served to you, there’s not enough left.”
Xu Chuniang sat down, looking at the table full of a large table of dishes, nowadays the life of the family, is really different from before.
Not only did they move out of the mud brick house and build a green brick house, but their food and clothing have also gone up a notch.
I can see that the days of not having enough to eat are already a very distant thing.
She picked up the bowl and scooped a small spoonful into her mouth.
The family was eating and chatting at the same time, it was very lively and festive.
This kind of hilarity, she hadn’t felt it for a long time.
Xu Chuniang symbolically ate two mouthfuls of white porridge and put down her bowl.
Mother Xu’s face showed concern, “What’s wrong, is it not good? I’ll go add two spoons of sugar for you.”
“No need, I’m full.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “You guys eat, I’ll just sit here.”
Mother Xu was about to say something, thinking that Third Maiden was a divinity and might have some trouble eating, she didn’t say much in the end.
The others felt a bit strange at first, but after thinking of Xu Chuniang’s identity, they were relieved.
Immortals, naturally, they don’t need to eat, if they really ate and slept like them, would they still be called Immortals?
Thus, Xu Chuniang stayed at home.
She stopped practicing and making talismans, and only refined her newly acquired flying sword and black crossbow. Spending more time on companionship.
The more she spent time with her family, the more Xu Chuniang felt that she and her family were people of two worlds, and would only grow apart from each other.
At the moment, she had only been practicing cultivation for sixteen years, so it wasn’t very obvious yet.
But in another thirty to fifty years, how many family members would there be at that time?
Xu Chuniang’s eyes revealed the color of enlightenment, perhaps this was the path of cultivation, the necessary experience of separation.
Since she had embarked on this path, she had to face it all.
But now that she had the rare opportunity to spend time with her family, she wanted to cherish this hard-won time.
After all, the next time she came back, Xu Chuniang couldn’t guarantee, when it would be.
A week later, Xu Qiuzhuang, the oldest four who had been studying in the county town, finally returned.
Learning that the third sister came back, always calm and collected Xu QiuCharge, crying up and down, like a child.
He wiped his red eyes and choked, “Third sister, I thought I would never see you again in this life.”
When he was a child, his parents were busy with the fields and didn’t have time to take care of him, it was his third sister who brought him up, and he had the deepest feelings for her.
When Third Sister left, he ran after the Immortals for a long time, and in the end, he couldn’t chase Third Sister back.
“Lao Si!”
Xu Chuniang heavily patted Xu Qiuzhuang’s shoulder, a smile on her face, “I heard that you got into the Xiu Cai, you’ve made a fortune.”
Qiucheng this kid, when he was a kid, he could be playful, who would have thought that he would actually get into the Xiu Cai.
Xu QiuCharge’s face was a little red, “It’s just a XiuCai, it’s nothing.”
The third sister is a person who is favored by the immortals, he only got a talent, and the third sister is completely incomparable.
And the reason why his family has money to pay for his education is all because of his third sister.
“That’s also very impressive. The Xu family hasn’t produced a scholar for generations, and you’re the first one.”
Xu Chuniang was a bit emotional, “The family is all together, but it’s a pity that big sister isn’t here.”
When she was eight years old, she married next door to the Wei family village, and she didn’t know how she was doing.
At the mention of her elder sister, the happy atmosphere stagnated, and the smile on Xu mother’s face froze.
