Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots (25)_1

Ever since the Ruan Family got Xiaobai, they never bought fruits again, as if Xiaobai had a treasure chest—she could get any fruit. The villagers didn’t find this strange, knowing that the Ruans had good relations with many major households in town, and they assumed the fruits were gifts from them. They had no idea all the fruits were actually from Xiaobai.

"Uncle, please have some grapes," Ruan Jiaojiao said with a fruit plate in her hands, smiling sweetly.

Jiang Bin was lean and tall with exceptionally long legs, and he was also very handsome. However, perhaps due to his profession, he appeared rather stern, and when he did not smile, he gave off the impression of a strict director of discipline.

Jiang Bin had two elder brothers and one sister, followed by a younger sister. Everyone was married except for him. He had several nephews and nieces, but perhaps because he was often away, he wasn’t close to any of them. They seemed to fear him to some extent and never took the initiative to approach him.

Ruan Jiaojiao, who not only approached him but also smiled at him so softly and gently, was the first of her kind. It was already a good day if his other nieces didn’t run away at the sight of him.

Especially when he heard her sweet voice asking him to eat grapes, he suddenly understood why Shu Wen liked this niece so much.

Some people are indeed born to be cherished.

All year round, he would send over about ten parcels, almost one every month. Knowing that he was coming, they prepared even earlier this time.

Thinking about it, not doting on such a cute and heartwarming niece would seem nearly unjustifiable.

He didn’t eat fruits, but feeling it hard to refuse the little one’s kind offer, he still picked up a grape, peeled it and ate it. Seeing her expectant eyes, he smiled and said, "It’s very sweet, thank you, Jiaojiao."

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately smiled and handed two more grapes to Xiu Xi. Ruan Feng and Ruan Lei didn’t need to be called over; they came over and took some themselves.

Although she was the only one spoiled since childhood at home, Ruan Jiaojiao never kept the good stuff only to herself. After eating her share, she would not eat anymore, leaving the rest for her neighbors Ruan Wei and Ruan Qun.

As Ruan Jiaojiao finished her grapes, the Ruanlin Family’s matron came over with a few elderly villagers, including Captain Wu Guoqun.

When Xiu Xun first registered his residence in their village, it was done through Wu Guoqun, who probably remembered the details of that time quite clearly. Therefore, the Ruanlin matriarch had invited him over.

After introducing Wu Guoqun to Jiang Bin, she asked the boys to lower the television volume, and seven or eight people gathered in the living room to look at the photographs while recounting past events.

If one person said the resemblance was there, it might not be convincing. But when five people said it was, the matter could be almost eighty percent confirmed.

The remaining twenty percent would need to be verified by scientific methods.

However, Jiang Bin was almost certain—this was indeed his nephew, his own nephew!

Upon reaching this conclusion, Jiang Bin’s eyes reddened; his emotions took a long time to settle, and his voice choked and became hoarse. He had never imagined that after nearly a decade, there could be a day when they would be reunited.

"About this matter, may I ask everyone to not disclose anything until I have personally met the child?" Jiang Bin finally stood up, bowed to everyone sincerely, and asked.

The villagers who came to identify the photos nodded eagerly, assuring him they would not speak carelessly and told him to be at ease.

Jiang Bin bowed again, solemnly expressing his thanks.
