CHAPTER 329: CHAPTER 331 RETURNING OF NING HUI

Xia Xiao didn’t know how she couldn’t see it, but right now she could only hurry to treat Ge Liang, not knowing how long he had been burning up. Was his brain damaged or not?

Xia Xiao quickly took out spring water to feed Ge Liang, thinking about how such a small child could have so many disasters and misfortunes.

"Damn it, it must have been Liu Haihua who dumped the child here; there’s no one else," Xia Xiao was furiously angry at this point.

"What should we do with this child?" Shitou asked.

Xia Xiao also found herself in a dilemma. Certainly, Ge Liang couldn’t stay in Black Bear Cave. Although she didn’t know why the black bear hadn’t eaten him, it was still not viable for him to continue living there.

But Xia Xiao really didn’t know where to place Ge Liang. It was definitely not possible to take him back to the Gao family, but returning to Red Star Production Team would decidedly be no good either.

Who knew if Ge Liang would continue to be abandoned after returning, or even be killed? Xia Xiao looked at the unconscious Liangzi and felt overwhelmed.

Moreover, she couldn’t possibly raise Ge Liang in the secret space; it was definitely not an option. Even with her own future children, Xia Xiao wasn’t sure if she would bring them into the space, let alone Ge Liang, who was not her child.

Right now, Xia Xiao didn’t know how to place Ge Liang, but she still interacted with the bear family, then took out some vegetables and spring water.

The bear family was howling away, Xia Xiao didn’t know what they were trying to say to her. Shitou explained: "He says the child carries your scent."

On hearing this, Xia Xiao was immediately moved, feeling that maintaining a relationship with the bear family for so many years and even giving them spring water was the best thing she had ever done.

If she hadn’t given Ge Liang the spring water, he might have been doomed on Nanhua Mountain, either eaten by other animals or possibly by the black bear.

So at this moment, Xia Xiao felt very fortunate: fortunate that Ge Liang had drunk the spring water and fortunate for the animals’ keen sense of smell; otherwise, she didn’t know if she would be able to see Ge Liang now.

Xia Xiao heartily praised the bear family and gave them more vegetables, making them very happy.

But now Xia Xiao still didn’t know what to do with Ge Liang. She suddenly thought of Old Man Xue but then immediately shook her head. Old Man Xue wasn’t really without kin.

After his daughter remarried, she had given birth to grandchildren for Old Man Xue. It was just that Old Man Xue was more preoccupied with the grandchild that his daughter had abandoned.

"It seems I can only leave Ge Liang here for the time being. I have no idea where to take him if I bring him back, and I certainly don’t want Ge Liang returning to Red Star Production Team," Xia Xiao said.

Shitou didn’t speak either. The space could be used for hiding, but even though Ge Liang was a child, Shitou and Xia Xiao couldn’t guarantee if a child who had drunk the spring water would have a good memory. What if he really did?

The space was Shitou and Xia Xiao’s secret, one that absolutely could not be known by a third party.

Unable to think of a better solution for the moment, Xia Xiao could only leave Ge Liang there. Shitou said, "Leave some more vegetables here. It’s good for Ge Liang to eat greens. These vegetables are grown in the space and are more beneficial than ordinary porridge or rice."

So Xia Xiao left quite a lot of vegetables, and after giving instructions to the bear family, she left.

Upon returning to the Gao family, she happened to run into Gao Jiaxing. Gao Jiaxing said, "Xiaoxiao, where have you been?"

"I was just wandering around nearby," Xia Xiao said.

"Yang Xuehua just came looking for you; you scared me," Gao Jiaxing clutched his chest.

Xia Xiao said, "Brother Gao, don’t worry, I was just walking around the production team, hoping to run into Ge Liang."

"Fool, how could Ge Liang possibly be here? Big brother and Hong Xing have looked everywhere. If you want to search next time, make sure you call me," Gao Jiaxing said.

Xia Xiao nodded and said to Gao Jiaxing: "Then, Brother Gao, I’m going to find Sister Xuehua."

"Go on then," Gao Jiaxing said. "Come back early."

Xia Xiao immediately went to find Yang Xuehua. The moment she arrived at the dormitory, she was firmly and fiercely hugged.

"Xia Xiao, I’m back. Are you happy to see me?"

"Ning Hui!" Xia Xiao exclaimed with joy. "You’re back. When did you get back? I didn’t even hear about it."

"I just got back. I happened to run into Yang Xuehua and the others right at the main gate," Ning Hui said, smiling.

Looking her over, Xia Xiao noticed Ning Hui had changed; her face bore a smile of sheer happiness, a look of contentment.

"Did you marry Secretary Li?" Xia Xiao asked.

Ning Hui nodded, "Yes, I got married."

"Congratulations," Xia Xiao said.

Yang Xuehua laughed, "We should definitely congratulate her." Then she turned to Xia Xiao, "Where are your eggs?"

"Yeah, the eggs, the eggs," Ning Hui said, reaching out her hand.

Xia Xiao chuckled and pulled two eggs from her pocket, giving one to each of them, and Yang Xuehua and Ning Hui both laughed.

Li Zhenchuan had come back, getting married to Ning Hui, and they had returned together.

Ning Hui no longer lived at Youth Point but had moved in with Li Zhenchuan. After chatting for a while, Ning Hui went back to Li Zhenchuan’s residence, which would be their little home from now on.

And Xia Xiao went back to the Gao family. Yang Xuehua clutched the egg in her hand, suddenly finding herself reluctant to eat it. She lay back down on her bed, tears running down her face in silence. Ning Hui was married, and although Yang Xuehua was happy for her, she also felt sadness.

It seemed as if everyone else had a partner, everyone was married, except for her, alone and solitary.

Besides, she was already considered an older single woman. Whether she married was one thing, but even if she wanted to, Yang Xuehua had no idea whom she would marry. She didn’t even want to get married, really.

Yet she disliked this loneliness; she missed the days when Xia Xiao and the others were in the dormitory when Ning Hui was still unmarried, and everyone lived together with companionship.

Now, although there were still people in the dormitory, Yang Xuehua couldn’t quite connect with them, missing the ease of conversation she had with Xia Xiao and Ning Hui.

"Sister Xuehua, has my sister left?" Xia Jing had gone to Yan Hao’s dormitory to cook and now, packing her portion, she returned to the dorm, only to see Yang Xuehua lying in bed alone, so she asked.

"Yes, she’s gone," Yang Xuehua replied, dabbing her eyes with the blanket.

"Would you like to eat, Sister Xuehua? I’ve made some food, and there’s plenty left, let’s eat together," Xia Jing offered. "Xiong Wei and the others have eaten in the canteen."

"Sure," Yang Xuehua responded with a slight smile, getting out of bed to join Xia Jing for the meal.

Seeing the redness in Yang Xuehua’s eyes, Xia Jing said, "Don’t be sad, Sister Xuehua. I’ll keep you company. Although my sister is married, she still worries about you a lot. She wouldn’t have discussed with Yan Hao’s mother to bring me from the north to here if she hadn’t. She did it so I could be here with you."

Yang Xuehua smiled, "Your sister is very kind-hearted."

"Yes, she always thinks of others," Xia Jing said as she ate, picking out food for Yang Xuehua. "Eat more, Sister Xuehua. I’ve prepared some for you. There’s still more of the dish here."

Then Xia Jing took out a jar of pickles from a bag, "My sister brought these over. She said our grandma made them. Try them, Sister Xuehua."

Yang Xuehua tasted it and nodded, "Your family is really good."
