Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Let’s go home.

Under his wife's tender gaze, almost dripping with tears, Lin Nanjiang consciously tightened his skin and took the initiative to urge the process. "Everything has been loaded into the car, so let's go out first. We also need to pick up Fangfang's grandparents."

Little Fangfang, who was being held by Lin's mother, understood what her father meant. She immediately put her arms around her grandmother's neck and began to indulge her. She kissed her grandmother on the face and said in a soft and sweet voice, "Grandma, I will miss you."

Mother Lin has lived to this age, with a house full of children and grandchildren, but she is the only one who coaxes them. The first time she was coaxed by her youngest grandchild, she was instantly tickled and hugged her granddaughter even tighter, not wanting to let go. "Oh my, our sweet baby, why are you so adorable? Grandma missed you before we even left, and she can't bear to let you go."

There were so many elders who liked Xiao Fangfang that she was unmoved by these words. She just patted her grandmother with her little hands to comfort her, "Be good, Grandma. Fangfang will come back to see you. Call."

He tried hard to act like a little adult, and made Lin's mother so cute.

Little Sweet Bean was incredibly charming. Lin's father, after giving Lin Nanjiang and his son-in-law, who was driving, his usual instructions, turned around and saw this scene. He couldn't help but lean over and coax her in a low voice, "Yes, go back and call grandpa and grandma. Come back during the holidays and New Year's holidays. Grandpa and grandma will prepare delicious food for Fangfang."

"Okay." Xiao Fangfang nodded seriously. Looking at the old man's face in front of her, she didn't show favoritism and kissed him too. "Goodbye, Grandpa."

When Lin Nanjiang came over to carry her daughter into the car, she saw Lin's father's old face, which was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum.

He was still discussing this with his second brother-in-law who was driving until the car drove out of the village and onto the main road. He was shocked as he had never seen his old father like this before.

He Shengli was also very emotional. "There are so many children in the family, but I've never seen the old man be so kind to anyone. Your sister even told me privately that you were like this when you were little. The old man doesn't like children by nature. Now I know that he actually likes fair, clean, well-behaved and sweet-talking children like this."

Lin Nanjiang accepted the compliment happily, "Look at what you said, who wouldn't like a kid like this?"

"That's true." He Shengli laughed heartily, "Our little Fangfang is such a sweetheart that everyone loves."

They chatted and laughed on the way, listened to music, and soon arrived at Liu Suqin's parents' home. Qian Juxiang and the others were afraid that it would be difficult to turn the car around after entering the village, so they calculated the time and waited directly at the roadside with their luggage.

Around them were the families of Big Brother Liu and Second Brother Liu who had come to see them off, as well as some fellow villagers who loved to join in the fun, so a circle of villagers gathered beside the road, chatting and eating melon seeds. They were very conspicuous, and the people in the car noticed them from a distance. He Shengli slowed down in advance, and when he got close, he parked the car in an open space under the instructions of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the villagers rushed forward, each carrying one item, and they emptied the luggage. When Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang pushed the door and got out of the car, everyone was crowded in the trunk to put their packages. They had no place to use their skills, so they could only stand by and express their gratitude and greetings.

While chatting with her uncles and aunts, Liu Suqin glanced inadvertently and saw a very special scene. Her eldest nephew Liu Qiang was enthusiastically playing with the little one in his uncle's arms, pulling her hands from time to time, and tugging at her little feet in small leather shoes, as if he treated her as a human doll. Little Fangfang didn't mind, and blinked her big watery eyes at the big brother, her face full of ignorant curiosity. The scene was harmonious and interesting.

It was not until Liu Qiang's mother, who had put down her luggage, squeezed out of the crowd and saw her ten-year-old son happily playing with a two-year-old child that she walked over and gently pushed him. The corners of her nephew's mouth stiffened for a moment, and then, under the threat of his mother's eyes, he walked towards her hesitantly.

When he got to her, he didn't even meet her eyes. He kept kicking the pebbles on the ground with his head down, and said in a mechanical tone as if he was reciting something, "Thank you, aunt. The study materials you sent are very good. I have finished all the questions I know how to do. As for the remaining questions, I will ask the teacher for help when school starts. I will definitely learn these books thoroughly and live up to your kindness."

At this moment, Liu Suqin just wanted to tell her nephew to blink if he was kidnapped.

Oh my god, she was just wondering what was wrong with this kid today. Was his rebellious period coming early, or was he simply alienated from her, his aunt?

After a lot of guessing, I never thought that the blame would be on me. It was all because of the exercises and test papers she sent me.

However, Liu Suqin thought about it from another perspective. If she had encountered such a relative when she was in school, her resistance would have been even stronger than Liu Qiang's.

Private Marseille, before she knew it, she had grown up into the adult she hated.

But Liu Suqin would not change her ways. She even escalated, saying, "No need to say thank you. Just finish those homeworks carefully, and that will be the best way to show my gratitude. When they start school, I'll get you the latest tutoring materials. Don't worry about not having homework to do in the future."

There is basically no such thing as homework in rural primary schools, but don’t worry, young man, your aunt will help you.

Liu Suqin also felt a sense of mischief and suddenly wanted to see her nephew break down.

When she was reborn, Liu Qiang was already the father of two children. Before getting married, he had worked in many professions, including working in a factory, driving a tractor on a construction site, being a plumber, doing sales, and being a salesperson. He had the ability, but he was a haphazard worker and lacked stability. It was not until he got married and had a wife and children that he started to work seriously. With the support of his parents, he opened a courier station. After a few years, he did make money, bought a new car, and bought a house for his parents in the city, waiting for them to retire and live in the city.

But later the economy went into a downturn and all business was bad. The express station was tiring and unprofitable. Fortunately, when the market was good, he bought a garage in the community as a storefront. He no longer had to pay rent, and no matter how low the profit was, it was enough to support his family. Later, whenever the family gathered, Liu Qiang liked to talk to Fangfang and her brother. He envied them for having the education and ability to gain a foothold in the big city, unlike him, who had to work at the express station to keep his family fed and not starve. He wanted to change his career countless times, but was afraid of losing his livelihood completely, so he could only lie down and give up.

This is also the reason why Liu Suqin spared no effort to support her nephew.

Are you envious of your cousins ​​who are in college? Don't be envious in this life. Come and experience it yourself.

Liu Qiang had no idea of ​​the suffering that would follow decades later. He felt as if the sky had fallen. He raised his head in disbelief at the smiling figure in front of him, "Aunt?"

His expression was easy to understand. His face was full of accusations of "Am I not your most beloved nephew?", which made Liu Suqin laugh.

That’s right, Liu Suqin was justified and this was her most sincere love for her eldest nephew.

But you can't push the child too hard, or it will lead to a rebellious mentality. Liu Suqin then reached out and touched the boy's head, smiling, "You must study hard and keep up the good work. If you can get into the top three in the class at the end of the semester, I'll have someone take you to Shenzhen for a vacation during the summer vacation."

This was truly an offer he couldn't refuse. Liu Qiang had only been to the county a handful of times in his life, and being able to go to town a few more times a year was enough to make him happy. His aunt actually wanted to take him to the big city to play, which made him no longer resentful of studying. His eyes were filled with longing for Shenzhen, and he looked at Liu Suqin with burning eyes, "Really?"

Facing the young boy's burning gaze, Liu Suqin didn't flinch or avoid it. She looked him in the eye seriously and said, "It's true. If you get into the top three in the class, I promise to take you to Shenzhen to play for a while. The higher your ranking, the longer you can stay."

Anyway, her eldest nephew has gone to Shenzhen, and Qian Juxiang and others will take care of his food and accommodation. She just needs to talk a little and pay a little money to easily be a good person. At the same time, she can also encourage and stimulate the children at home to study hard. Liu Suqin thinks it is very cost-effective.

After saying this, she turned her gaze and noticed the brother and sister standing behind Liu Qiang. They were her second brother's children. Liu Suqin didn't show favoritism and said with a smile, "Yuting, you are too young now. It's not easy for your aunt to take you out to play. When you are older and get good grades like your brother Qiangqiang, your aunt will take you to Shenzhen as well."

Nephew Liu Fei was still sniffling, his big eyes filled with clear stupidity. His sister Liu Yuting had already agreed crisply, "My mom said I'm going to school this year. I want to get a perfect score on the test and go to the big city with my aunt to see the world."

Liu Suqin nodded with relief, "That's great, I'm waiting for your good news."

The eldest daughter of the family will have the opportunity to go to Shenzhen this year, while my own children will have to wait for a year or two. In the past, Second Sister Liu would feel a little uncomfortable, thinking that the eldest daughter was taking advantage again, but this time she didn't think about it at all. She patted her daughter disapprovingly and said, "Don't cause trouble for your aunt. Go and have fun." Then she came up to Liu Suqin with a smile on her face and said, "Suqin, your reminder makes sense. I will discuss with your second brother that we should get the land and build a house as soon as possible. That way, I can start a small business at home sooner. The two of us can make more money than Liu An alone by taking on sporadic jobs."

Liu Suqin naturally encouraged and supported them. After that, she asked with concern, "If we start construction ahead of schedule, will we still have enough money?"

Mrs. Liu smiled sincerely, "We're still a little short, but my parents asked to borrow some money, and I'll ask my parents for some more. It should be pretty much there, so you don't have to worry about us."

She usually likes to take advantage of small things and compete with her sisters-in-law, but she also has her own standards in her heart. This time, her parents-in-law were really speechless and offered to lend them money to build a house. They hinted that any amount within 10,000 yuan could be scraped together by them. This generosity shocked them both.

Liu Ersao decided at that time that after accepting the support from her parents-in-law, even if she was still short of money, she would not bother her uncle and sister-in-law again. She would rather shamelessly go back to her parents' home to raise money.

Even if everyone knows that my sister-in-law is rich, she can't do this. It's too ugly to be greedy.

But the more she refused to borrow money, the more Liu Suqin sympathized with them. She smiled and said, "I wasn't worried before, but now we have to start construction early. If you need anything, just let me know. I can still give you three to five thousand."

When Liu Ersao heard this, she felt more relieved. Not wanting to trouble her sister-in-law was one thing, but if the situation really came to a standstill, having these words was also a guarantee. She was now very happy and would try to move into the newly built house next year. Then she would ask her parents-in-law and brother-in-law to stay in the town for the New Year, and they would all live in the new house together!

Finally, after the pleasantries ended, Liu Suqin returned to the car. Next to her was Liu Ping, who had been pulled up by Qian Juxiang's ears. She asked with amusement, "What happened?"

Qian Juxiang sat down behind Liu Ping, staring at the back of his head with a bad tone, "This kid is making trouble again. Xiangxiang and the others won't go back to the factory until after the Lantern Festival. He's been whining these past two days and wants to stay home for the Lantern Festival too."

"That's right." Liu Ping still felt that he was right. "I have nothing to do in Shenzhen now, and other schools don't accept registration so early. It's better for me to stay at home for a few more days and go back to Shenzhen with my cousin after the Lantern Festival. I can take care of her there."

Qian Juxiang glared at him. "Don't think I don't know your little calculations. You've had a lot of fun bragging these days, haven't you? If your father and I leave and you're left alone at home, won't you just go and tear the roof off the house? Don't even think about it! Besides, the train tickets are already bought. Do you think you want to waste money?"

This series of attacks and suppressions completely suppressed Liu Ping's rebellious nature, and he no longer dared to show up.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. My uncle was feeling aggrieved in the back, while Xiao Fangfang in the passenger seat clapped her hands happily, "Let's go home."

Although children are young, they have a clearer and more definite definition of home than adults. They know that their grandparents’ homes are not their own homes, and only the place where they live with their parents is their home.

At first, the adults ignored her sudden excitement. After settling in on the train, Lin Nanjiang immediately came over to the child who was humming and twisting around on her bed. "Come on, girl. Daddy will take you around the carriages. Don't you love to watch the fun?"

"No." The rejection from his beloved daughter was so sudden that Lin Nanjiang looked down in surprise. He saw the little girl blinking and asking him in a baby voice, "Daddy, when will we be home?"

Lin Nanjiang finally realized that his daughter's constant mention of "going home" wasn't just something she'd heard them say and then imitated. The little one was actually looking forward to going home. This discovery was both curious and surprising. He couldn't help but squat down to look the little one in the eye and ask seriously, "My dear, you want to go back so badly, are you unhappy at grandpa and grandma's?"

He knew the answer himself. The little girl was having so much fun in her hometown. She followed her brothers and sisters and didn't want to leave. She was as close to her grandmother as if they were one person. With her parents around, she never made a fuss about going back. Lin Nanjiang even whispered to Liu Suqin that the little girl was really big-hearted. Other children were shy about strangers and places, but their daughter didn't have that problem at all. She probably would go anywhere as long as she had something to eat and play.

But such an optimistic child is actually looking forward to going home?

Lin Nanjiang looked at his daughter curiously, and saw the little girl shook her head, then uttered a few words concisely, "Dad, Mom, baby, home."

It sounds nonsensical at first, but when you put it into context, the meaning becomes clear. She knows that home is the only place where her parents and she have always lived.

Lin Nanjiang always thought his daughter was the cutest and smartest in the world, but he never thought she could be so smart. Her logic is clear and her language is concise. Even a four or five-year-old child might not be able to do that. For a moment, he was overjoyed and hugged his daughter and kissed her fiercely. "Yes, this is our home. My dear is so smart. She understands this principle without Mom and Dad telling her."

Liu Suqin had just come back from getting hot water to make milk for the child when she saw the father and daughter being affectionate. Before she could ask what was going on, Lin Nanjiang, with a face full of joy, told her what had just happened.

She was also very happy about her daughter's cleverness. She sat beside her and touched her clever little head. Just as she was about to praise her, the little one pouted and complained to her, "Daddy is bad. Don't tell the baby."

Lin Nanjiang was stunned. Then, facing the suspicious gazes of the two children, one big and one small, he frantically defended himself, "No, I didn't. I was just so surprised that I forgot to answer Fangfang's question."

The old father apologized frantically, but the child still pouted in grievance, until Liu Suqin suggested that every time they arrived at a station, Lin Nanjiang should hold her to see the platform name and help her count how many stops there were to go until home. Only then was little Fangfang satisfied and happily threw herself into her father's arms again.

The father and daughter carefully wrote down the names of many stations, but unfortunately, when they arrived at the station where they were supposed to get off, little Fangfang was already fast asleep. She didn't even blink until she was carried to the home she had been longing for, and she stayed in her father's arms and slept soundly.

As soon as she put down her things after entering the room, Qian Juxiang reached out to pick up the child, "I'll take her back to bed and put her down. You guys should also go to bed early."

Liu Suqin suddenly said, "Fangfang, sleep with us today."

Lin Nanjiang nodded frantically in agreement, "Yes, let the child continue to sleep with us on the first night back so he can get used to it."

The couple was happy with it, and Qian Juxiang had no reason to stop them. She naturally withdrew her hand and said, "Okay, I'll make the bed for you first."

So when the child woke up, she found herself back in her own home, with her parents still sleeping next to her. She rolled back and forth in bed with joy, and after a while, she didn't wake up the adults, so she simply threw herself at her father.

Lin Nanjiang was almost vomiting blood under the weight of his love. He opened his eyes reluctantly, "You want to get up, right? Daddy will take you to get up. Don't wake up Mom."

After saying that, he got up and dressed resignedly, feeling lucky that they were back home. From now on, his father-in-law and mother-in-law would help him put the baby to sleep. Let his father-in-law and mother-in-law enjoy the heavy love for the little one.
