"Okay, then Xiaomingxuan, give the birds to your aunt first. Look, they're all injured. Auntie will check them and put medicine on them. How about we, Xiaomingxuan, play with Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, and Uncle for a while?"

"good....."

As they spoke, the two children placed the little bird they were holding into Ruanruan's hands, and then Xiaomingxuan went to his family and said, "Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, you're here! Did you miss Mingxuan?"

"I miss him so much, Grandpa misses our little Mingxuan! And Mingxuan? Does he miss Grandpa?" The old man hugged Mingxuan in his arms. It was so good that the child was still doing well and was still so sunny and cheerful. Seeing him playing so well with his friends was a stark contrast to when he was at home. At home, he was well-behaved and obedient, and he would never say such mushy things as "I miss you." He would never laugh so happily when something joyful happened, let alone run to someone with a smile.

Now it seems that Lan Chaolin's approach was correct. After arriving in Yuncheng yesterday, they went to find Lan Chaolin without stopping because they were so worried about the child. After dealing with that person's matter, they immediately bought tickets and came over without even thinking to inform Lan Chaolin. It wasn't until they arrived at the Yuncheng government building and asked Lan Chaolin about the child that they learned that he had sent Ruanruan to him.

At that time, the old man and Lan Haofan took turns scolding him severely, mainly because Ruan Ruan was heavily pregnant and she herself needed someone to take care of her, so how could she take care of such a small child?

However, seeing how lively and cheerful Xiaomingxuan has become in just a few days, it seems that the Huo family really knows how to raise children!

The old man is now even considering keeping the child!

"Yes, Mingxuan misses home so much. He misses his great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandparents, father, second uncle, and aunt. He misses them all so much." Mingxuan counted all the family members on his fingers, but he didn't mention his mother. It seems he really doesn't like her at all. But it's better that way, so he won't have to look for her when he gets back.

"Okay, okay, your great-grandmother and grandmother miss you very much at home. We'll be able to see you when you get back."

When Wang Qun returned with the vegetables, the scene he saw was Lan Zhiyu and Lan Haofan sitting, Xiao Mingxuan standing in front of them, talking with a smile, Lan Chaolin and Commander Gu talking about work, and Gu Jingming taking Xiao Xingxing and her brother back.

Upon seeing her return, Teacher Shen immediately came out and introduced her to the Lan family. Then, Xiao Mingxuan also took her hand and introduced her to his great-grandfather and grandfather, saying, "Great-grandfather, grandfather, this is Third Grandma. Third Grandma's cooking is so delicious! She even makes rabbit-shaped steamed buns for me—they're sweet and especially tasty! And her grilled fish is also very good..."

The little guy recounted all the food Wang Qun had made these past few days. Lan Zhiyu and Lan Haofan patiently listened. However, while they knew most of the things he mentioned, they had never heard of grilled fish or grilled chicken before. They knew about roast duck, but they didn't know if it was made the same way.

After greeting them, Wang Qun went to the kitchen to help. They ate something simple for lunch. Grandma took out the pheasants and rabbits that had been sent from home and made braised rabbit, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried cured pork, and some vegetables.

The meal was pretty good, except for the grilled fish that Xiaomingxuan had mentioned. During the meal, the old man subtly asked how to make it, saying that if he learned it, he could make it for his wife at home. Despite his strong demeanor in front of outsiders, he was quite timid in front of his wife, a typical henpecked husband.

Ruan Ruan said that she could go to the supermarket in the afternoon to buy the ingredients and cook them in the evening.
