514. The Tranquility of Time
The setting sun cast a brilliant glow on the western sky.
Su Liang and Gu Ling were watering the vegetables in the backyard with the children when they heard someone calling, "Sister Su Liang! Sister Su Liang!"
Su Liang put down the water ladle and went to the front yard to find a tall and a short teenager running towards her. It was Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi, who had just returned from school.
The once rough and mischievous little boys had grown into refined and elegant young men. Bai Xiaohu had grown much taller and slimmer in the past two years, and his eyes sparkled brightly, retaining their innate simplicity and innocence when he smiled. Zhuzi, who used to be sickly, was now rosy-cheeked, and still grinned sheepishly with squinted eyes.
As soon as the two entered the house and heard from their mother that Su Liang had returned, they rushed over without even putting down their school bags.
