With Huo Haocheng's vacation coming to an end, Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng started packing their luggage after returning home. The next day, they would go back to the Huo family home to pick up their grandmother and third aunt.

That evening, the Ruan and Gu families, a rare occasion, gathered together for dinner, which also served as a farewell for Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng. They all knew that once they left the next day, they didn't know when they would see each other again. The younger ones were still able to visit Yuncheng, but the old folks probably didn't have much time left in their lives, and they would spend the rest of their time in this courtyard, waiting for their descendants to return.

After dinner, we sat together and chatted for a while before going home to sleep.

After putting the children to sleep, Ruan Ruan chatted with Huo Haocheng, "Do you think we really still need to bring Grandma along?"

Actually, after Grandma Li passed away, Ruan Ruan was thinking that Grandma was getting old and she didn't want her to travel back and forth with them anymore. When they came back before, they could clearly feel that the old lady's body could no longer withstand the strain. In addition, Grandpa was also getting old, and she didn't want the two elderly people to live apart in their old age.

"Let's go back and ask Grandpa and Grandma what they have to say." Huo Haocheng didn't want his grandmother to suffer with them anymore, but he respected their wishes.

When he came back this time, his grandmother and his sister-in-law promised that he would go back to take care of them during their postpartum period. Given his grandmother's temperament, she shouldn't break her promise. So now, he can't make decisions for his grandmother on his own; everything depends on her own thoughts.

Ruan Ruan knew her grandmother's temper, so after thinking about it, she decided to wait until they got back to discuss it.

"Sleep, sleep."

After saying that, she turned over, turned her back to Huo Haocheng, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Seeing his wife suddenly leave him, Huo Haocheng was confused, but he still went up to her and hugged her from behind.

"Let go of me, you're too hot. Holding me like this makes it too hot for me to sleep." Ruan Ruan felt that Huo Haocheng in the summer was like a furnace, his whole body burning hot. She didn't want to be near him at all in this heat.

Seeing his wife's actions and hearing her words, Huo Haocheng felt very aggrieved. "So, now you don't love me anymore?" Just a few months ago, she would insist on holding him to keep him warm as soon as they got into bed, saying how good it was to have him. How long has it been, and she's already starting to dislike him?

Ruan Ruan turned her head and met Huo Haocheng's aggrieved little expression. She just glanced at him lazily and said, "Sorry, I'm immune to it now." Then, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Seeing that this tactic was no longer working and his wife was no longer responding, Huo Haocheng also lost interest, withdrew his expression, and then lay down to sleep next to his wife.

The next day, at 6 a.m., just as the sun was rising, the family got up, spent half an hour washing up and eating breakfast, and then Ruan Shaohong drove them to the train station.

"When are you planning to be transferred here?" In fact, given Huo Haocheng's current military achievements, he could easily be transferred to the capital. However, Huo Haocheng was still waiting. He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow him to move the entire Independent Regiment to the capital.

"Wait a little longer, it should be ready soon."

"Alright, then I'll be waiting for you to return in the capital."

Upon arriving at the train station, Ruan Shaohong saw them off onto the train before driving back to his unit.

They took the 7:20 AM train and arrived at 8 PM. For the entire day on their way back, no one else came to their carriage besides them, allowing them to arrive in Shenyang safely.

The people who came to pick them up were Fu Mingyi and Huo Yue, a married couple. Since it was too late to go back, they stayed overnight in their courtyard and were taken back to the Huo family the next morning.

To make it easier to pick up and drop off Huo Haocheng and the others, Fu Mingyi took three days off from the bureau. It was also a good opportunity to go back to the Huo family home with them for a get-together.

After breakfast, Huo Haocheng and Fu Mingyi went to the black market and found some of Zheng Xuyang's former men. Since Zheng Xuyang left, he had left the business to them. With Fu Mingyi secretly protecting them, they were very careful in their work and hadn't gotten into any trouble in the past two years.

Fu Mingyi and his companion bought some meat and grain from them, as well as some cloth, and took them back to the Huo family.

As time went by, it was almost noon when they got home.

After feeding the children and changing their diapers and clothes, Huo Haocheng and Fu Mingyi began preparing lunch. Ruan Ruan, Huo Yue, and Li Huan, the three sisters, placed the children on a mat on the ground and sat down to look at the photos Huo Haocheng had taken of them during their trip to Beijing.

"Wow, they're so young and they've already been to the capital and taken so many pictures! I'm so old, the farthest I've ever been is Yuncheng. No way, I must go to the capital someday!"

Looking at the photos of her grandmother and maternal grandmother holding the baby, I felt incredibly soft-hearted.

"Ruanruan, is this your eldest brother's child?" Li Huan asked Ruanruan, holding up a photo of the three children sitting side by side. In the photo, Xiaobao was sitting in the middle, with his two older brothers on either side. Huo Haocheng had somehow managed to get all three children looking at the camera, pouting and smiling happily.

Looking at the children in the photos, Ruan Ruan was also very happy. "Hmm, his full name is Ruan Zechen, and his nickname is Ai Ai, which means he's always saying 'ai yo ai ya' all day long." Just thinking about this nephew, who always says "ai ai" to everyone he meets, makes Ruan Ruan want to laugh.

"Huh? Why?" Huo Yue and Li Huan were puzzled. They could understand adults giving children lowly names like Gouzi (Dog), Erniu (Second Ox), and Daya (Big Girl) so that they could raise them easily. But, wow, they had never heard of such a nonsensical nickname before.

"Yes, it's Ai Ai. Because he always says 'Ai Ai' to people, my sister-in-law thought, since it's just a nickname, and he keeps saying 'Ai Ai' all the time, let's call him Ai Ai."
