Chapter 134: The Bed-Lying Person

"This kid had so much fun today that he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. I even heard him snoring when I helped him take off his clothes just now." Chen Yintang came to the kitchen and said to everyone with a smile.

"The child has been running and jumping all day and must be tired. Wait until the meal is ready, then wake him up to eat and let him sleep after he is full. Otherwise, he will be hungry again in the middle of the night." Zeng Yike said while helping to wash vegetables in the kitchen.

Chen Yitang also went over to help. Zeng Wenjuan started cooking first. After hearing what Zeng Yike and Chen Yitang said, she laughed happily. She had brought Goudan up to his age, but this was the first time she saw him so happy!

After a tiring day, Zeng Wenjuan and her family just wanted to cook something so they could rest early. They just fried some pickles, some green vegetables, and some kelp soup.

"Goudan, Goudan, get up and eat." Zeng Wenjuan called softly while sitting beside the bed.

"I'm sleepy. I need to go to bed." Goudan was half asleep and thought Zeng Wenjuan was waking him up in the morning! He just wanted to stay in bed a little longer.

"Grandpa and grandma are waiting outside! We will sleep after we finish eating." Zeng Wenjuan said as she reached out and lifted a corner of the quilt.

When Goudan heard the words "grandparents", he opened his eyes dazedly. But when he saw that it was still daytime outside the window, he asked, "Grandpa and grandma, why are you here so early? It's not even daybreak yet!"

"You've fallen asleep! It's still night! Get up and eat first, then go back to sleep." Zeng Wenjuan reached her hand into the quilt, trying to take Goudan out.

But Goudan was lying in the comfortable quilt. It was so cold outside, there was no way he could get up. Before Zeng Wenjuan's hand touched him, he rolled into the bed.

"Hahahaha...Mom can't catch me."

Zeng Wenjuan looked at Goudan and said seriously: "Hurry up and get up, or your grandparents will laugh at you. I made a delicious kelp soup today. Your grandpa made dinner for us!"

"Mom, then you come to the bed and warm up while you dress me." Goudan thought of Zeng Wenjuan dressing him every morning and her hands were always cold.

"Look, mom's hands are warm. If you don't believe me, come over and touch them." Zeng Wenjuan stretched out her hand in front of Goudan and said.

Goudan reached out his hand and touched Zeng Wenjuan's hand, then retracted it with a "whoosh", giggling and saying, "It's so cold, so cold, I'm freezing to death."

"Goudan, if you continue to make trouble you won't have dinner tonight." Zhao Jianguo walked to the door of the room with a cane and said in a serious voice.

Goudan was a little scared and leaned towards Zeng Wenjuan. Zeng Wenjuan said, "Our Goudan is awake now. He was still asleep just now, right?"

"Yes, Goudan is hungry." Goudan sat up, covered with the quilt.

Zeng Wenjuan took the clothes beside her and gestured to Zhao Jianguo to go out. This was the tacit understanding between the couple, one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop.

After helping Goudan put on his clothes and shoes, Zeng Wenjuan took Goudan out. Seeing Chen Yitang and Zeng Yike, Goudan called out sensibly: "Grandpa and grandma."

"Get up and come to eat. Drink the soup first. A bowl of soup before a meal is better than any medicine." Zeng Yike saw Goudan and Zeng Wenjuan coming out, so he reached out and served them a bowl of soup.

"I forgot to tell you that your eldest cousin's son is getting married the day after tomorrow. They will return to the ancestral home to get married. We, as the elders, have to go back a day in advance to help. It's a great opportunity for me to introduce you to everyone while everyone is here." Chen Yitang said to Zhao Jianguo and Zeng Wenjuan while picking up some dishes.

"Are we going back tomorrow? Why don't you go back with your mom? We don't know anyone here, and there would be too many people and I'm afraid Goudan would be scared." Zeng Wenjuan felt that she didn't know anyone and it would be awkward if she went back then!

"It's nothing. When you just came back, your grandparents and other relatives all said they wanted to meet you, but I thought your mother and I should spend more time with you, and it just so happened that all the relatives were here at this time." Chen Yintang explained.

Zeng Wenjuan couldn't refuse after hearing this: "Okay, then what time do you want to go tomorrow?"

"Let's leave at five o'clock and arrive at the old house for breakfast at seven o'clock." Zeng Yike said, but worried that Zeng Wenjuan and the others might not be used to it, she added: "The family members are easy to get along with. Tomorrow is your first time meeting them, so don't be polite with them when you get red envelopes. Those are the red envelopes that your mother and I gave out before."

"I know." Zeng Wenjuan smiled shyly, but she was more worried. Looking at Zeng Yike and Chen Yitang, she knew that their family members must be capable. She wondered if it would bring shame to them.

"Eat your food quickly! Why are you talking so much?" Zeng Yike also noticed that Zeng Wen was a little nervous, so she picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with chopsticks and fed it to Chen Yintang's mouth to block his mouth.

After dinner, Chen Yitang and Zeng Yike drove home and would come back to pick them up early the next morning.

"It's okay. I'll be with you no matter what. If you don't feel comfortable staying anywhere, we'll come back first." Zhao Jianguo said, holding Zeng Wenjuan's hand.

Goudan leaned on Zeng Wenjuan and played with the little toy he had just gotten today. Anyway, he couldn't understand what the adults were saying.

"I know, I'm just afraid that since I come from the countryside, I'll make a fool of myself and embarrass my parents." Zeng Wenjuan expressed her concerns to Zhao Jianguo.

"What's the big deal? We are the most honorable farmers." Zhao Jianguo said loudly, but as if he was afraid that Zeng Wenjuan couldn't hear him, he leaned close to her ear and said, "What's more, they are still capitalists! We are lucky enough not to despise them."

Zeng Wenjuan was instantly amused when she heard this. She gently patted Zhao Jianguo on the shoulder with her right hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Pack up and go to bed early! You have to get up early tomorrow, so don't be unable to get up by then." Zhao Jianguo said as he stood up with the help of a crutch.

Zeng Wenjuan also stood up and said to Goudan, "Put the toys away first. Mommy is going to give you a bath. Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. Don't stay in bed again."

"I'm not staying in bed! It's just that the quilt monster has sealed me up, and I need my mother to rescue me." Goudan said with his wild imagination.

Zeng Wenjuan picked up Goudan and patted him on the butt twice: "Well, sleep with mom and dad tonight. I'll see if that quilt monster dares to come again."

"What should we do if the quilt monster seals us all? Should we ask grandpa and grandma to rescue us?" After saying that, Goudan covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

"You just talk nonsense." Zeng Wenjuan hit Goudan's butt hard again to stop the child from talking nonsense.
