Chapter 320
Although Lin Sisi was disappointed, she had just poured water for the two of them.
"Mom and Uncle, you must be thirsty now after coming back from such a long journey. Can I pour you each a glass of water?"
While talking, Lin Sisi washed the cups and then poured each of them a glass of boiled water.
Cai Renzhao put his luggage aside and sat down, still looking around the room.
The house looks quaint from the outside, and there are a lot of old furniture inside.
Although the house is a bit old, it is not shabby at all and is kept very clean.
Although this is an old house, it gives people a sense of home peace.
He felt inexplicably at peace sitting here.
He took the water handed to him by Lin Sisi and thanked her politely.
He glanced at Lin Sisi lightly while drinking water.
Although the little girl was wearing tattered clothes, her face was white and clean.
She stood there timidly with her head down, looking very well-behaved.
Lin Wanxin also drank a glass of water, and then she felt a lot better in her throat.
She took out two small oil-paper bags from her pocket, which contained some leftover food from the journey.
"Sisi, Mom brought some food for you to try."
Lin Wanxin handed over the oil paper bag, and Lin Sisi took it curiously.
"Huh? Where's Avon? Why are you home alone?"
Lin Wanxin actually wanted to ask this question from the beginning, but she knew that her daughter was timid and was afraid of scaring her, so she endured it again and again, and finally endured it until now.
"There's no firewood at home. Sister Yafang said she'd go up the mountain to collect some, otherwise we won't be able to cook tonight."
"Before leaving, Sister Yafang watched me lock the door and told me not to open the door to strangers. Only then did she leave with a worried look on her face."
Lin Sisi's voice was thin, and she hunched her shoulders slightly when she spoke, looking like she was still very restrained.
"Sisi, what did your mother teach you before?"
“When you speak, no matter if you are right or wrong, you must keep your back straight.”
"I'm your mother. I won't bully you. Why are you so scared of me?"
Lin Wanxin took her little hand and pulled her to her side.
Lin Sisi snuggled in her arms, her little face flushed.
"Mom, didn't you say you'd be back in a week? How come you've been gone for a month?"
"There's no water, no firewood, no rice, no vegetables, nothing at home."
The more Lin Sisi spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and there was a hint of tears in her voice.
If her mother hadn't called her occasionally, she would have really thought that her mother didn't want her anymore.
"Mom encountered some problems, but fortunately it has been solved smoothly now."
"I really want to apologize to you for what happened this time, but I also have my own difficulties. I hope you can understand."
Lin Wanxin sighed softly and didn't intend to explain too much to her.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Lin Sisi felt much better.
After chatting for a while, Lin Wanxin realized that she had not put the child back to bed.
Captain Cai, who was completely ignored by them, just leaned back in his chair and listened to them quietly.
They had just said a lot, and he didn't know how much of it he had heard.
Lin Wanxin's pretty face turned red, and she immediately stood up and put the child in the room.
After she came out, she took another child from Cai Renzhao.
After Cai Renzhao no longer had to hold the child, he stood up and stretched.
When Lin Wanxin thought he was about to get up and leave and was about to see him off.
Cai Renzhao walked outside and picked up the bucket under the eaves.
"I'll go get you some water. Remember to make me something delicious to reward me in the evening."
Cai Renzhao went out with the bucket of water without even asking them where to fetch water.
By the time Lin Wanxin reacted, Cai Renzhao had already walked away.
After a while, he came back with a load of water and poured it into the water tank neatly.
