Chapter 409 Warmth

Wang Hehua glared fiercely at Yao Guohua until he cowered in his wheelchair, too afraid to utter a word, before turning and leaving the house.

A leopard can't change its spots; it's still thinking about jumping around!

They don't even look at themselves now. They can't even walk properly, yet they still want to disgust others.

Haha, it's none of Wang Hehua's business if he embarrasses himself outside, but what will others say?

People will say that it was Wang Hehua who instigated Yao Guohua to go find her child, and that she wanted to take advantage of Yao Guohua by making him go.

She's a businesswoman now, so she can't afford to have a bad reputation, otherwise her business will suffer.

Back then, I was able to sell dumplings to support my family because I didn't cut corners on the ingredients, which made me stand out from other small vendors.

She couldn't afford to ruin her own livelihood, so she had to keep a close eye on Yao Guohua.

If Yao Guohua goes out and embarrasses herself, people will only criticize her!

Wang Hehua decided that she must keep a close eye on Yao Guohua before Yao Shula and her siblings returned to Shanghai, and prevent him from appearing in front of them.

...

Yao Shula and her group arrived in Yun County at 3 p.m.

When the car arrived at the door, Grandma Yao was already waiting with people at the gate of the yard.

When Yao Shula saw Grandma Yao, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Grandma seems to have aged a bit more; her hair is completely white now…

"Grandma!" As soon as the car stopped, Yao Shula opened the door, jumped out, and ran towards Grandma Yao.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Shuli, Yao Shuxin, and Xiao Tiantian also ran down.

Grandma Yao, who was being held by Yao Shula, was initially overjoyed, but then suddenly burst into tears.

"You're still thinking about Grandma. Call her more often if you miss her!" Grandma Yao said, patting Yao Shula's back and crying.

Yao Shula's tears also fell, and she quickly began to comfort Grandma Yao.

"Grandma, I'll call you more often from now on! I've been busy all day and it's so late when I get home. I didn't want to disturb your rest."

I'll definitely pay attention in the future and call Grandma more often!

Yao Shuli, Yao Shuxin, and Xiaotiantian were all hugging Grandma Yao.

Grandma, I miss you even though I'm busy!

"Grandma, you're in great health, you look exactly the same as before!"

"I want to eat Grandma's steamed buns! Grandma's cooking is so delicious!"

The four of them, chatting away, finally managed to make Grandma Yao laugh.

"Come on! Come inside! It's warm inside, but cold outside. It snowed heavily in Yun County a few days ago, so it's very cold!"

The gas stove in the house has been lit. Your aunt came over every day to light it for the past few days.

They said the walls in the house were cold because no one had lived there for so long, so the stove had to be lit in advance to warm the house.

Look, your aunt even specially made a new door curtain, made of cotton, so the heat won't escape."

As Grandma Yao spoke, she pulled the four siblings toward the main room.

Lei Jingwu followed behind, carrying large and small bags, looking somewhat nervous.

I've been to Yao Shula's house countless times and eaten countless meals here, so why am I so nervous today?

Just as Lei Jingwu was getting a little nervous, Grandma Yao suddenly turned around.

"Come on in, Xiao Lei, come in quickly. We're all family, why are you being shy!"

"Come quickly!" Grandma Yao then came over and pulled Lei Jingwu into the main room.

...

The main room was very warm, and two tables were temporarily set up. Grandma Yao, along with the Yao family, Uncle Shu and his family, and the Zhou Ping'an family from next door, filled both tables.

Besides the food they made themselves, a lot of the dishes on the table were brought from Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant in front of them.

The table was set with the Yao siblings' favorite dishes.

While urging everyone to eat, Grandma Yao put food into the bowls of the four siblings and Lei Jingwu.

She wished she could give all the good food to the four siblings.

Everyone was talking around Yao Shula and her three siblings, recounting the events that had occurred during the years they had been away from Yun County.

Laughter and cheerful conversation...

The meal lasted from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

"Shura, you're going to your grandma's house tomorrow. We've already arranged it. You'll go to their house tomorrow and then to ours the day after."

Your aunt and uncle will be treating you the day after tomorrow. As for the rest of the time, you can arrange it yourselves.

You should still eat at your grandma's house on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

They came to our house very early on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It's all settled then, you can decide the rest of the time yourselves!

Your eldest uncle and aunt have left first. You and your grandma should have a good talk!

After saying that, Uncle Shu left with his family.

...

Lei Jingwu still stayed outside. In the past, when he came to Yun County, he could only stay at the guesthouse in the county. Now that there is a nice hotel in Yun County, Lei Jingwu went to stay at the hotel.

There is still no room for Lei Jingwu at Yao Shula's house.

Once they get married in the future, they should be able to live at Yao Shula's house.

Grandma Yao stayed with Zhong Xiaochun until nine o'clock.

"The blankets on your and Shuxin's beds, as well as those on Shuli and Tiantian's beds, are all made with newly harvested cotton. I had them make them. Each bed has an eight-pound cotton blanket and a six-pound blanket."

The sun has been shining these past few days, so your aunt and I have been taking them outside to bask in the sun when it's sunny, and then bringing them back inside when the sun is about to set.

Feel it, isn't it soft? It definitely won't be cold when you sleep at night.

And in this house, Chun Nian and Xiao Chun open the doors and windows to let in fresh air every two days, so there's no smell at all!

Yamin often comes over to visit. On Sundays, as long as the weather is nice, the girls and her friends drink tea and chat in the courtyard, just like you are still living at home!

Oh, those six thermos flasks over there are full of hot water. You boiled them before you got home, and they're still burning in the gas stove! You can use the kettle on top to wash your feet and face.

"There's water sitting on the coal stove in the kitchen!" Grandma Yao said to Yao Shula with a smile.

Yao Shula smiled and nodded. The house was still the same as before they left, with a warm feeling everywhere.

The cold stove and even the cold walls that Yao Shula had imagined did not materialize.

"Grandma, thank you! You're still the same as before!" Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin said, holding Grandma Yao's hands.

Grandma Yao patted the two sisters' hands and smiled.

"Don't thank me! I'm your grandma. Yun County has always been your home! Get some rest! Get up early tomorrow and come to my place!"

Okay, go get some rest!

Yao Shula and her three siblings slept soundly...

Lei Jingwu also had a good sleep. From today onwards, he has another identity at Old Yao's house...
