Huang Qinquian, as her name implies, was expected by her parents to grow up diligent, becoming a hardworking person.
But reality often differs from expectations. Among Huang's family'...
When Dundun saw Huang Qinqin come out, he excitedly jumped up and down in Xu Junhui's arms.
Xu Junhui quickly hugged him tightly. Dundun was quite heavy, and he almost fell out of Xu Junhui's arms.
Xu Junhui was originally holding him with one hand, but now he had to obediently switch to holding him with both hands, otherwise he really couldn't hold him securely.
"Little Auntie~ Dun Dun's here to pick you up~"
Huang Qinqin, who was heavily pregnant, didn't hug Dundun, but just kissed his cheek.
"Chirp~"
"Let's go back and eat then~"
However, Huang Qinqin was a little curious about how Xu Junhui brought Dundun over: "Junhui, did Dundun come over in the back seat?"
Xu Junhui shook his head, suppressing a laugh, and personally demonstrated for Huang Qinqin.
Because Xu Junhui often needed to transport things by bicycle, he went to a scrap metal recycling station and bought some scrap metal.
Then, with Huang Jianjun's help, he welded a very large iron frame onto the front of the bicycle. This frame was extremely sturdy and could easily hold several dozen kilograms of goods.
So Xu Junhui just brought Dundun over in a basket.
Huang Qinqin looked at Dundun sitting obediently in the basket, his hands gripping the edge of the basket, he was just too cute!
She was screaming inwardly, then said to Xu Junhui, "Junhui, wait a minute, I'm going back to the department store to borrow a camera to take a picture of Dundun~"
Seeing her hurried movements, Xu Junhui shouted, "We're not in a rush, slow down!"
Huang Qinqin replied without turning her head, "Okay~"
That's what they say, but Huang Qinqin's speed didn't slow down at all.
Everyone in the office leaves at this time. If Huang Qinqin walks a little slower, they will have already gone home, and then she won't be able to borrow the camera.
Although there will be other opportunities to take photos in the future, Huang Qinqin feels that now is the most suitable time.
Because Dundun can still sit in the basket now, but in a few months, when Dundun grows a little bigger, it's hard to say whether he will be able to sit in it.
Huang Qinqin was lucky; when she returned to the office, everyone was still there.
After taking the photos to his heart's content, Xu Junhui drove the two of them home for dinner.
......
When Xu Junhui and his group returned to the Xu family home, the house was unusually quiet. He and Huang Qinqin exchanged a glance, both feeling that something might have happened at home after they left.
Xu Junhui carried Dundun out and walked with Huang Qinqin to Zhang Yumei's side, asking softly, "Mom, is something wrong at home?"
Zhang Yumei looked into the room and sighed, "Your grandfather passed away this morning. We went to the hospital."
“Your dad has been lying in bed ever since he got home and hasn’t come out.”
Xu Junhui didn't know whether to call himself cold-blooded or what, but he felt nothing at all when he heard the news.
However, after hearing that Xu Weiguo had stayed in the room and hadn't come out, he put Dundun on the ground and decided to go in to check on the situation.
After being put down, Dundun obediently clung to Huang Qinqin's pants and stood there quietly.
Zhang Yumei noticed Dundun at this time. Actually, what happened in the morning didn't affect her much. Her bad mood was mainly because she was worried about Xu Weiguo.
"Hi DunDun, have you eaten yet? Are you hungry?"
Zhang Yumei herself likes children, and since Dundun is also good-looking, chubby and fair-skinned, he looks very blessed, so she likes him even more.
Dun Dun earnestly reached out and touched his belly, then shook his head: "I haven't eaten anything~ My tummy is hungry~"
"Are you hungry? How about Dun Dun has a cookie first? We'll eat dinner later."
Xu Fang had already cooked the food, but they didn't know when Xu Junhui could persuade Xu Weiguo to come out, so they left the food in the pot to keep warm.
Zhang Yumei went to the kitchen and took out a few cookies, giving one to each of the children in the family.
This was the first time Dun Dun had met Xu Fang, Chen Mai, and Chen Liang, and both sides looked at each other with some curiosity.
Looking at the chubby little boy, Xu Fang said with some envy, "His name is Dundun? Is he a child from your family's side, Qinqin? He's so handsome."
"Yes, he is my eldest cousin's son. His name is Dundun, and he is four years old this year."
......
Knock knock knock
"Dad, are you awake? I'm going in?"
Xu Weiguo was lying in bed contemplating life when he heard Xu Junhui's voice. He simply said, "You're awake. Come in."
After pushing open the door and going in, Xu Junhui expected to see Xu Weiguo looking grief-stricken, but when he looked, he felt that Xu Weiguo's emotions were quite normal.
However, Xu Junhui was afraid that he was keeping his emotions to himself, so he decided to try to comfort him first.
"Dad, I heard about Grandpa's passing. Don't be too sad, please accept my condolences."
Xu Weiguo lay on the bed, looking at him with a puzzled expression: "Do I look like I'm very sad?"
It's impossible to say that Xu Weiguo wasn't sad. But to say he was particularly grief-stricken was an understatement.
The things Grandpa and Grandma Xu had done had deeply broken Xu Weiguo's heart. When he first heard the news of Grandpa Xu's passing, Xu Weiguo admitted that his heart skipped a beat.
But when he went to the hospital and was asked by Grandma Xu to give him the house, the sadness in Xu Weiguo's heart vanished without a trace.
So Xu Weiguo found it really strange that Xu Junhui suddenly came over to comfort him.
Xu Junhui carefully examined his expression and felt that he didn't seem very sad.
After thinking for a moment, he simply asked, "Dad, if you're not sad, why have you been staying in your room ever since you came back?"
"I'm just taking a break since it's rare for me to rest. I usually rest in bed anyway, is that so strange?"
Xu Weiguo was even more puzzled when he heard him ask this. He usually spent most of his week off in bed unless he had something to do.
Everyone's resting; how can it be called rest if you don't take a break?
Isn't this standard procedure? How does it relate to being sad?
Xu Junhui: ......
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Weiguo continued, "You're home now, shouldn't you eat? I've been lying here all morning, I'm starving."
Xu Junhui: ......
Xu Weiguo said with dissatisfaction, "What's with that expression? You don't even say a word when I talk to you."
Xu Junhui took a deep breath, trying hard not to swear: "Mom thought you were too sad, so she specially asked me to come in and comfort you."
"Since you're not sad, let's go out for dinner. Qinqin has to go to work later."
Upon hearing that it was time to eat, Xu Weiguo complained, "You should have told me sooner that dinner was ready. You've been making such a fuss for so long. I'm starving."
Xu Junhui: ......
