Chapter 278 Family Portrait

After receiving their son's call, Yan's father and mother also felt guilty towards their in-laws and mother-in-law.

From the time their daughter-in-law became pregnant until now when Little Yueyue is over one year old, the couple have been working hard.

So although they were reluctant to let their in-laws take Xiaoyueliang to Hunan Province, they still agreed.

After all, there are elderly people in the family.

At their age, there are many things to worry about, including the possibility that their parents are no longer around to take care of them.

However, when they told Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren about this decision, they rejected it.

"The epidemic is at its peak in Hunan Province right now. I heard that many schools have started their winter vacation early. It's not safe for us to go back at this time." Although Lin Qiu was somewhat tempted, he decided not to take this risk.

Wang Xiuren also added, "Besides, it's very cold in Hunan Province at this time. It's bone-chillingly cold. It's OK for the two of us, but it's not OK for Xiaoyue. She was born and raised in Pengcheng, so how can she adapt to such low temperatures?"

"Let's wait until the weather gets warmer!" Lin Qiu made the final decision.

Since Lin Qiu and his wife were determined, the other four people in the family no longer forced them.

Just wait until spring comes and then send the three of them back to Hunan Province.

Time flies and it is May. The weather is gradually warming up. Yan's father and mother once again brought up the matter of sending Xiaoyueliang back to Hunan Province, and this time Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren did not refuse.

Because of the epidemic, the two have not returned to their hometown in Hunan Province for a long time, and they don’t know what their hometown is like now.

Yan Shen took a special leave, and Wang Shan had nothing to do recently, so she simply accompanied her parents and daughter back to visit her grandparents.

Considering the busy schedule on the high-speed rail, I decided to drive back home.

Because we were bringing Xiao Yueliang, we had a lot more luggage. Plus the gifts that Yan's father and mother had prepared for their relatives back home, the trunk of the car was completely unable to fit everything in.

So they simply drove two cars, and the five of us, four adults and one child, set out on the journey home.

Along the way, Little Yueyue looked around curiously in the safety seat. When she was bored, she listened to the nursery rhymes playing on the speakers. When she was sleepy, she slept quietly without making any noise.

The four adults took turns driving.

Finally, after more than ten hours of driving, they arrived at their hometown.

Lin Ting and Zhou Qing were waiting at the door early in the morning. When they saw their daughter and her whole family get out of the car with lots of bags, they couldn't stop smiling.

Lin Ting even picked up Xiaoyue and said, "Do you know who I am?"

He asked deliberately.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyue recognized the old man who often appeared in the phone. He was not shy at all and answered in a baby voice: "Great Grandpa."

"That's right! My little Yueyue is so smart!" Lin Ting couldn't help but kiss her on the top of her head.

"Does Little Yueyue know me?" Zhou Qing also came over and looked at her eagerly.

"I know her." Xiao Yueliang nodded, "Great grandmother."

"Oh, so good!" Zhou Qing touched her cheek.

Lin Hui and Zhou Mei couldn't help but come over to tease this cute little guy.

The whole family happily gathered around the little guy.

When she returned home this time, Lin Qiu clearly discovered that her parents had grown old, and she couldn't help feeling a sense of bitterness in her heart.

After the lively greetings, the family sat together, talking while eating.

Lin Qiu was talking to Zhou Mei about the interesting stories of Little Moon when he turned around and saw his mother dozing off with chopsticks in her hands.

Everyone at the table followed Lin Qiu's gaze and looked over. Lin Ting waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. It's just that the weather is getting hotter, and your mother isn't as energetic as she used to be."

After hearing this, Lin Qiu still felt a little uneasy.

She put down her chopsticks, walked over and supported Zhou Qing, "Mom, Mom, if you are sleepy, can I help you go to bed?"

Zhou Qing opened his eyes dazedly, "Huh? Why did I fall asleep? I must have gotten up too early today."

"Why don't you go in and take a rest?" Lin Qiu asked her.

Zhou Qing shook his head, "I haven't finished my meal yet!"

Then he asked Lin Qiu to sit back and eat.

After this, no one was in the mood to chat anymore. After finishing their meal in a hurry, Lin Qiu helped the old couple take a nap.

When Lin Hui saw Lin Qiu coming out, she followed him and said, "Everyone grows old. Daddy and Mommy are still fine, without any illness or disaster. They just look a little less energetic now, but everything else is fine."

Lin Qiu understood that everyone would have such an experience, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Lin Hui sighed, "While Daddy and Mommy are still healthy, let's take some time to spend time with them!"

Lin Qiu nodded.

In the evening, I called Lin Ping again and said, "Come back too!"

Lin Ping didn't ask any more questions and directly bought a high-speed rail ticket for the next day on his mobile phone.

When I came back I realized that dad and mom were really old.

Lin Qiu said, "You can live with me from now on and go and accompany them every day."

good!

Lin Ping wiped away her tears and then called Yang Zhefeng again.

Yang Zhefeng thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we sell the store? My parents are getting old, and I want to go back to my hometown."

"That's fine. Anyway, we don't have to worry about Liuliu now."

After Yang Zhefeng brought his parents back, Lin Ping went back to live.

Every day I would take time out to ride my newly bought electric bike back to Linguan to visit my parents.

Except for sleeping at night, Lin Qiu stayed in Linguan with Xiaoyue, serving the old couple three meals a day.

Lin Hui and Lin Li also reduced the time they spent outside, and would go to their parents' room when they had nothing to do.

Sometimes when they were bored, the four sisters would set up a table and play mahjong, and the old couple would sit next to their children and give them advice.

Watching their four children, all over fifty years old, talking and bickering together, the old couple felt indescribably happy, as if they had returned to decades ago when they were still children.

Wang Shan didn't go back either. She was raised by her grandparents and had a closer relationship with them.

She brought Xiaoyue to stay with her grandparents. Seeing how they doted on Xiaoyue reminded her that she also grew up in such doting. Then, looking at the wrinkles on their faces and their heads of white hair, her eyes became red unconsciously.

Xiaoyueliang had no difficulty adapting to her hometown.

Because of the epidemic, she usually stays at home and seldom goes out.

Now that she has returned to her hometown and seen the vast world outside, she no longer wants to stay at home.

Little Moon followed Wang Xiuren around the village all day and got to know many friends. She was not a shy person and soon became friends with the children in the village.

Everyone was happy watching Little Moon having fun.

As the days passed, Little Yueyue liked the life here more and more, and the old couple were also happy to have the company of their children and grandchildren.

At the end of the year, while Lin Cong was coming back to visit his relatives, Lin Qiu specially called all the family members back and invited the photographer back home.

"We have such a large family, but we've never taken a family photo. Let's take one today!"

When the old couple heard the news that they were going to take a photo of the Wanjia Portrait, and then looked at the whole house full of their children and grandchildren, they felt indescribably proud.

Lin Qiu and Lin Ping took out the new clothes they had bought a few days ago and put them on them. They also helped them fix their collars and comb their hair.

Finally, the children and grandchildren surrounded the old couple and took several photos in front of the old house.
