Chapter 124 123: [Forgotten Garden] Life

Once the thinking is clear, the things to do are very simple.

It is still morning, and the first thing to do is to think about how to spend the day.

Even though Angie has recovered her memory, as Suzanne, she still has to live a normal daily life on the surface, and she must leave enough energy for nighttime actions while trying not to be suspected by her family.

According to Susanna's memory, there will be night watchmen patrolling the village at night.With the body of this 12-year-old girl, if she wants to avoid more than a dozen night watchmen, she must maintain a high degree of concentration throughout the process.

This will be a tough battle that tests physical and mental strength.

However, Angie is not in a good state at the moment.After seeing the infuriating farce in the morning, Suzanne, who hadn't eaten breakfast, had exhausted a lot of energy, and now she was dizzy and sleepy...

It's too early to go to bed now-at least you have to stay up until the afternoon, and then sleep until the evening.

Angie bit her lip hard, patted her face twice, followed the steps in memory, went downstairs to get a wooden basin, took it to the well outside the house, and wanted to wash her face with cold water to stay awake.

Before she could walk out the door, she saw her parents coming back from the door.They looked at the girl walking out with a wooden tub in surprise, and then Alma took the initiative to speak:
"Susan, are you going to fetch water?"

"Hmm... I feel itchy and uncomfortable on my face."

Susannah's voice was a little nasal.Looking at the girl's tear-stained face, Alma sighed silently, then gently took the wooden basin in the other's hand, and said softly:
"I'll fetch water for you, you wait for me at home."

"Ah."

Susanna obediently agreed, but looked a little lonely.

After Alma turned and left, Jed glanced at his wife's back, then at his depressed daughter, and couldn't help but sighed, and said softly:

"Susanna, my mother will stay and take care of you these few days, and I will try to come back as soon as possible... We will go through this difficult time with you."

"……Um."

After a brief conversation, the father and daughter sat silently at the wooden table in the hall.

In a somewhat heavy atmosphere, Alma quickly returned with the water basin.She wiped Susannah's face gently with a damp cloth, and during this time, the sound of the wooden door opening came from the second floor.

Elena walked out of the bedroom.She was brought home early by Jed, and she didn't know what happened afterwards, but standing in the corridor on the second floor, she saw her parents and sister sitting in the hall, and saw that they all had heavy faces, but she didn't see Seeing Brin's figure, he vaguely guessed the ending.

Just as Alma was about to stand up, she saw Jed standing up and shouting to the girl standing on the second floor:
"Don't move around, Elena, Dad is coming up to hug you."

"it is good……"

Elena responded in a low voice, but couldn't help sobbing when Jed walked upstairs, and asked her father who was walking towards her:
"Miss Brin, can't you come back?"

Jed walked up to her silently, touched the girl's head lightly, then gently hugged her, and walked downstairs:

"Mom and Dad will be with you, don't be afraid."

Susanna on the first floor watched this scene silently, feeling touched in her heart.

Perhaps because of customs and customs, the atmosphere of family affection among this family is much stronger than that of most Chinese families.At least in her personal situation, her parents couldn't say such sincere words so frankly.

Asians are unusually reserved when it comes to expressing their emotions.Although she has long been used to this kind of subtlety, she also thinks it's good and won't embarrass her.

But when she saw other people's warm and harmonious families, she still couldn't help being a little envious—her original family was not that harmonious.

Countless memories and thoughts flashed through Anji's mind, and at this moment, she suddenly felt a warm and soft feeling.

"Susan, haven't you tasted mother's cooking for a long time?" Alma gently hugged the dazed girl and said with a smile, "Although it's still early, we need to eat early today—you should Are you hungry too?"

"……Um."

Anji didn't react for a while, she responded subconsciously, and then felt the warmth suddenly leave her.

"I'll go to the village to buy you some delicious food, you have to wait for me at home~"

Alma said softly, let go of the girl in her arms, smiled and rubbed Suzanne's head, and finally smiled at Jed before turning around and going out the door.

Seeing the back of the other party drifting away, Anji's inner complex emotions continued to surge.She immediately stood up and said lightly, "I'm going back to my room", trying to adjust her mood, and then saw her younger sister looking at her aggrievedly.

This little guy seemed to be blaming his sister for neglecting him, and seemed to be expecting something.

So Anji could only sigh silently in her heart, sat back on her seat again, hugged her sister gently, comforted her softly after asking about her physical condition, and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Elena. I shouldn't have let you go to the village alone. No matter where you go in the future, my sister will go with you. Can you forgive me?"

At first, Elena didn't answer, but just leaned against Susanna's neck sullenly, and wiped the tears and snot on her face.

But under her sister's constant gentle comfort, Elena finally sat up slowly and left her embrace.

She glanced at her father who was sitting beside him silently, then looked at her sister in front of her, and said in a low mood:

"Miss Brin was taken away because of me, right?"

"No," Suzanne shook her head lightly, "this matter is very complicated. Although it is indeed related to you, it is beyond your control. You don't have to blame yourself too much. If you want to say who is at fault, it is also my fault ——I didn’t go to the village with you, which caused you to be injured.”

Elena nodded slowly.She was actually very sad, and she knew that her sister was trying to comfort her, but it seemed that as long as someone was willing to say "it's not your fault" to herself, the burden in her heart would be relieved a lot.

However, when she thought that she would never see Brin again, her nose involuntarily started to sore, and her tears couldn't help falling down, so she threw herself into her sister's arms and burst into tears.

For Suzanne's family, today is destined to be a difficult day.

However, with the joint efforts of Jed and his wife, this day passed quickly.

The family of four first had a sumptuous lunch. After clearing the tableware, Jed and Alma warmly invited the children to sit in the sun and chat near the house. Na's legs were really inconvenient, so they changed it to small talk.

During this time, Susannah learned something.The Jade couple’s farm not only has cattle, sheep and chickens, but also raises a lot of bees—because the church’s holy lamps need beeswax, and for some reason, Etherine’s family has also ordered a large amount of beeswax from them recently, which makes them become get busier.

After chatting, the couple took Suzanne to clean the house inside and out, and even made some novel tricks while cleaning-such as painting smiling faces and small flowers on the ground and walls with water-soaked rags, or It's some fanciful patterns.

This simple activity immediately piqued the interest of the children.The two sisters gave full play to their imagination and painted each other's image in various places.

They were equally bad at drawing, and their bad portraits were so messed up by the running water that they couldn't help laughing from the bottom of their hearts.

The sad atmosphere seems to be fading away.Seeing the two girls who became cheerful again, the Jades felt much more at ease.

After playing, Suzanne said that she was a little tired and wanted to go upstairs to sleep, and then brought Elena back to the bedroom.

The two girls slept until the evening, and then went downstairs to eat at the urging of the Jade couple. In the peaceful and warm time, the time soon came to night.

Unable to go out at night, people in Knowlson generally go to bed early.Normally, Susanna's family will be ready to go to bed after eight o'clock.

But Elena, who only slept in the afternoon, was extremely energetic.She rolled around on the bed, repeatedly said that she couldn't fall asleep, and then started to play and fight with her sister.

Susannah had expected this to happen.She directly lit the candle, took out the thick Bible from the bookshelf, picked out the understandable part from the pile of unintelligible words, and read it quietly and quickly.

This trick worked extremely well - not only did Elena, who was not interested in religion, quickly fall asleep, even Susanna herself began to feel sleepy.

Susannah tapped her head, blew out the candle, and slipped out of the room quietly listening to her sister's steady breathing.

Next, it's Angie's "nightlife" time.
