Chapter 2433: Extra - Sisters Reunite
Mengmeng's painting had still not been exhibited, and after eating well and resting, she had completely forgotten about it.
The next day, she eagerly accompanied her parents to Chenggu County to pay respects to her grandmother and visit her great-grandfather and great-grandmother.
They were accompanied by Yuan Gui and Kang Shuxian. Kang Shuxian looked at the somewhat familiar scenery with a touch of nostalgia.
The last time she left, she left with disgust for this place. She had witnessed many dark and sinister things in the black market, which had made her dislike everything around the black market.
But now, returning to this place gave her a completely different feeling.
She realized that it wasn't the place that was wrong; it was the people in the black market.
When their carriage entered Chenggu County, the news quickly reached the Meng Family Escort Agency.
When they arrived at the entrance of the escort agency, Meng Xiaoshu and Tao Shi were already waiting for them.
Everyone's gaze naturally focused on Mengmeng first. After they had their "meeting" with her, the group entered the escort agency.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng hadn't rested much. They had left early in the morning, and it wasn't too late now. Meng Yunzheng wanted to go directly to pay respects to Song Xin.
Meng Xiaoshu nodded repeatedly. "Alright, you go ahead. We'll prepare lunch at home. It'll be time for you to eat when you come down."
The three of them had gone up the mountain together, while Huo Huo and Yuan Gui's group stayed behind at the Meng family to rest.
Song Xin's tomb was now in the Meng family ancestral graveyard, which was cleaned thoroughly every year. This year was no exception, and there was still a bunch of fresh flowers in front of the grave. It seemed like someone had visited her recently.
Little Mengmeng could now understand that her grandmother had gone to heaven. She hadn't seen her, but she had heard a lot about her grandmother.
On the way up the mountain, she had picked many flowers and plants and gathered them all together, placing them in front of the grave. She greeted her grandmother in her childish voice.
"Grandma, I'm Meng Meng. We've come to see you. Are you cold up there? If you're cold, Meng Meng will make you a blanket. Meng Meng is the most filial, so if you're not feeling well, you have to tell Meng Meng, and I'll find a way..."
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, shaking their heads with amused smiles. This child dared to say anything.
By the time Mengmeng finished her lengthy speech, it had already been half an hour.
Meng Yunzheng finally picked her up, said his goodbyes to his mother, and carried mother and daughter down the mountain.
They only planned to stay in Chenggu County for a day. They would return to the capital tomorrow and continue their journey to the imperial city the day after.
So after a good lunch, Yuan Gui took Kang Shuxian to the Lu Wu family to catch up with Qiao Rou.
Lu Wu was currently living quite comfortably. After working under Tang Wenqian's command, he had been highly regarded.
Even though Tang Wenqian was no longer there, the foundation he had laid earlier had already solidified. In addition, his previous interactions with local gentry in Chenggu County had given him an advantage, making his work efficient.
He had achieved several successes and received some rewards, allowing him to buy a decent two-story courtyard house.
After leaving the black market and marrying locally, Qiao Rou had one of the most comfortable lives among the girls from their hometown.
So when Kang Shuxian saw her, she was surprised to find that Qiao Rou had gained some weight.
Qiao Rou was a little embarrassed, but Lu Wu said he liked her with a bit of flesh on her. Her current state was just right, so she didn't rush to lose weight.
She was pleasantly surprised to see Kang Shuxian, as she was aware of what had happened in the southwest. She corresponded with Tao Hongdan and the others once a year and naturally knew about Kang Shuxian's and Yuan Gui's situation.
