Good Dad System (Arc 7) Chapter 57.6: After Being Abducted (26)

Grandma Pei seemed to have lost her strength and sat down heavily on the sofa. Her hands were shaking as she poured the water she had just poured into her mouth. She was always careful and particular, but she accidentally spilled most of it on her clothes: “Yuanyuan, is back?”

“Well, so you have to take good care of yourself. Now that Yuanyuan has been found, everything will be fine.”

Grandma Pei suddenly started to cry. She hadn’t cried for a long time. She kept repeating the words over and over again: “Yuanyuan is back.” Just like the day Yuanyuan was taken away, she ran around, shouting over and over again, Yuanyuan, where are you?

“Yuanyuan, when you go into the house, you will see grandma. Grandma will probably be very excited. Don’t be afraid.” He got out of the car exhausted. The journey was not easy. Before entering the community, Pei Naochun did not forget to explain to Pei Yuanbo. Just after he got off the plane, he saw more than 20 missed calls, all from his mother. He found a quiet space to answer the call while his wife and son were not paying attention. Grandma Pei on the phone was calm and nervous. He made three rules with her – if Grandma Pei could not meet Yuanyuan calmly, he would take Yuanyuan to stay in a hotel for two days. Of course, this proposal was scold by Grandma Pei. She was so angry, but still agreed obediently, saying that she had taken medicine and was in good condition now.

“Yeah.” Pei Yuanbo agreed. He kept looking around the community. This place was still a little unfamiliar to him.

“It’s okay, grandma loves you very much.” Yang Qiuping was a bit like a silly girl now – saying silly girl might be an exaggeration, but after her son was found, she started to smile all the time, as if all the happy things happened to her.

…

“Ah Feng, how about this?” Grandma Pei was very nervous. She just calmed down and realized that her clothes were wet. She hurried to change clothes in the house. She picked out several sets and tried them on for Grandma Feng to see. She used to be a pretty grandma with dyed black hair, which made her look very young. But now she looks old, with gray hair, and she hasn’t had her hair done for a long time.

“Very good, really.” Grandma Feng promised immediately. She had just been criticized by the old sisters, who said that if they had told her yesterday, it would have been better. She also had to get a haircut, perm her hair, and dye it black, otherwise Yuanyuan would not recognize her when she came back! Other things could not be solved now. Grandma Pei had changed seven or eight sets of clothes alone. She also combed her hair neatly and applied styling mousse that she didn’t know if it had expired.

“I feel like my clothes don’t fit me.” Grandma Pei pulled at her clothes. She had lost too much weight. As she got older, she shrunk and became shorter. Her trouser legs had become longer, and the clothes didn’t fit her anymore.

“No, it’s really good.” Grandma Feng was still comforting her when she heard the sound of a lock being unlocked on the other end of the room, followed by Pei Naochun’s voice, “Mom, we’re home.” As the three of them entered the room, the door was closed, and Pei Yuanbo, who was standing behind, finally showed up. Grandma Feng was moved by what she saw, and before she could say anything, she noticed that the old sister had already started crying.

Grandma Pei was holding on to a cane – that was what it was like when her body was broken. Even if she tried to hold on, she couldn’t walk far without a cane. When she got in front of Pei Yuanbo, she stretched out her hand, wanting to touch his face, but then pulled it back: “Is that Yuanyuan?”

Pei Yuanbo was surprised. The grandma in the photo was obviously not like this. For some reason, he subconsciously took a step forward and put his face close to Grandma Pei’s hand. He stretched out his hand and pressed the other’s hand on his face: “It’s me, grandma, I am Yuanyuan.” As he approached, a familiar smell lingered at the tip of his nose. He couldn’t tell whether it was the smell of soapy water or the smell of washing powder. He only knew that this smell was so familiar and reassuring.

“You’ve grown so big.” Grandma Pei touched the child’s face tremblingly. His face had obviously changed a lot in front of any outsider, but in her heart, she could see Yuanyuan’s appearance. In her countless dreams, Yuanyuan should be like this, with the same high nose bridge as his father and the same double eyelids as his mother. Tears kept flowing down, and those words she said before about not crying became empty words. The faucet was turned on and could not be turned off.

“Mom, let’s sit over there.” Pei Naochun gave his wife a look, and he and Yang Qiuping supported Grandma Pei on both sides, trying to take her to the sofa, fearing that the old lady would fall.

Grandma Pei suddenly got angry. She hit Pei Naochun hard: “Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you take me with you to find him? I miss my Yuanyuan every day!” She was so angry that she couldn’t speak, “…You, you bastard!”

“Mom, don’t be angry.” Pei Naochun comforted gently and carefully led Grandma Pei to the sofa. Grandma Pei did not forget to hold Pei Yuanbo’s hand tightly.

“Yuanyuan, have you been living well these years?” At this moment, she hated her own bad eyes, but fortunately she looked closely and could see the child’s face clearly.

“Grandma, I’m doing well.” Pei Yuanbo was saddened by his grandmother’s crying, and he carefully tried to comfort her.

Grandma Pei suddenly looked at him quietly as if she was stunned for a long time, then she said to Grandma Feng with trembling hands: “Ah Feng, you didn’t lie to me, my Yuanyuan is really back.” Tears flowed down her face, which already had many wrinkles.

“Yes, he’s back.”

“It’s grandma who is sorry for you. Grandma lost you back then.”

“Mom, I don’t blame you.” Yang Qiuping had already squatted down, carefully comforting her mother-in-law, “We know you feel bad, too.”

“For the past seven years, day and night, my heart has been aching.” Grandma Pei pounded her heart, “I told myself, you lost your grandson, you deserve to die.”

“Grandma.” Pei Yuanbo was a little flustered. Maybe it was because his grandmother had taken care of him almost all the time before he was three years old. When he saw his grandmother’s pain, his heart seemed to be cut several times. “I never blamed you. Look, I’m back, right?”
