Transmigrated as the fake rich daughter, schemed by the reborn true rich daughter to go down to the countryside as an educated youth, living in poverty and destitution, short on food and necessitie...
"My dear grandson, how can he be so adorable? My heart is melting." Yan's mother took Li Ming from her husband's arms and kissed him several times. "He's so adorable! I wanted to hold him during dinner, and finally I got him."
Yan Guofeng smiled and wiped the residue from the corner of his great-grandson's mouth in his arms; Zhong Yuxiu laughed silently. As a mother of a child who was praised, she was happy.
Yan Hejun was in a bad mood. His beloved grandson had been taken away, so what else could he hold on to? Just as he was feeling lost, a small, fleshy object suddenly appeared in his arms. He looked down and saw that it was the Book of Rites.
"Dad, my hands are weak, can you hold me for a while?"
"Okay." What's there to be disappointed about? I have three big grandsons, and I can hug them however I want.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work, Dad."
"It's not hard." It's such a wonderful thing to have a grandson, why should it be hard?
Yan Guofeng saw it all and teased, "Your dad probably just wanted to have a grandson, but unfortunately, your mom took him away. You gave him a new one, and he couldn't be happier."
Yan Hejun smiled and did not refute.
Seeing this, Zhong Yuxiu just smiled and said nothing. How could she not know the reason? She was just considering her father-in-law's face.
The house was filled with laughter and joy. Yan Hejun and his mother ignored the fatigue from the long journey and only cared about getting close to their grandson.
"You just came back. Do you want to take a rest?" Yan Guofeng asked while holding his great-grandson.
Yan Hejun turned around and asked, "Song Man, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"
Strict mother Song Man nodded slowly and said, "I'm really a little tired. As I get older, my energy is not as good as before. Let's go take a rest. I'll get some sleep and then see our darling grandson."
"Okay, then let's sleep for a while and then come back to see the child." Yan Hejun nodded and put the child in the crib. He stood up and walked to Yan's mother, picked up the child in her arms and put him in the crib. Then he said to Yan's mother, "Let's go back and rest for a while."
"Ai."
The strict mother responded loudly, and then went to see Zhong Yuxiu, "Yuxiu, the children have worked hard for you."
"You're too kind. I'm their mother." It's my duty to take care of them. Parents take care of their children when they are young, and children take care of their parents when they are old.
"Good boy." Yan's mother patted her daughter-in-law's hand, said something to Yan Guofeng, and followed Yan Hejun out with the luggage and returned to the Yan family's small building.
This is my daughter-in-law's house. Housing is tight, and they are not the kind of people who are ignorant and rude.
After seeing off the strict father and mother, Zhong Yuxiu returned to the hall and saw the three children dozing off. She said, "Grandpa, the children are sleepy. Put them in their cribs."
"Yes, they are sleepy." Yan Guofeng nodded and put the children in his arms into the crib. As soon as they were put in, the three brothers played for a while and soon fell asleep.
The three brothers were born to the same mother, and they eat and sleep together, so they have a perfect understanding of each other. Their sleeping times are also very similar, and they eat, drink, defecate and urinate at the same time. This routine has its advantages and disadvantages, as they cry together when they cry.
Everything has two sides, it is impossible for everything to be good.
"He fell asleep so quickly, he must have been reincarnated as a pig." Yan Guofeng sighed, "Your parents haven't been home for so long, and the children don't seem to be shy at all when they see them."
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled. The old man's attitude towards her, his granddaughter-in-law, always made people convinced. Someone who said "your parents don't think this way" would never say such words.
"You must be tired. You haven't slept since you woke up. Now is a good time to take a nap. I hope they can sleep a little longer and wake up after we have dinner."
Yan Guofeng smiled and nodded, it would be best to wake up after dinner.
Yan family's small building.
Yan's father and mother opened the door and found a thin layer of dust in the house. They thought someone had come to clean it; but no one had been there for nearly half a month, so there was only some dust, not a lot.
Yan's mother was full of energy. "Come on, clean up. I don't know if Xiao Hai can come back. We have to clean up his room."
"I was wondering why you were in such a hurry to come back since you're not tired. It turns out it's for the hygiene of the house." Yan's father understood. Their bodies had been strengthened by the repair fluid. Not only did they look younger than their peers, their physical fitness was also better than their peers. Many of his comrades-in-arms from the same period as him now had pains here and there. To put it bluntly, they had hidden diseases in their bodies.
Their bodies recovered very well with the repair fluid, all their hidden diseases were repaired, and their spirits were greatly improved.
"What else? Can we ask Dad and Yuxiu to clean? There is no one to take care of my lovely grandson; Yuxiu is busy every day and it is hard for her to have two days off. We, the parents-in-law, are not too old and can do the work, so we should love them more." Mother Yan is open-minded and does not care how considerate her daughter-in-law is; what's more, Yuxiu has her own family and may not even think about this.
The strict father nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. We should clean our own house."
"That's the truth. We're not home all year round, so we can't be filial to Dad. Yuxiu and Dashan are busy with work every day, and they have to take care of Dad and the children. They have a lot of things to do. Now that we're back, we can't cause them any trouble."
Yan's father deeply agreed with what his mother said. He was rarely at home throughout the year. They really couldn't cause trouble for their family. They could just clean up a little and move in. It wouldn't take much time.
"My daughter-in-law is a good one. She takes care of everything at home and outside. While taking care of the family, she can also contribute to the country. Compared with her, we are not even a little bit behind."
Yan's mother glared at him, "Are you saying that I can't compare to her?"
The strict father paused, his will to survive strong. "There's no need to compare. You can't go home in the army either! It's the same for me. So, I'm just sighing, there's no other meaning."
"You're sensible." Yan's mother withdrew her gaze, went to the bathroom, got water and cleaned.
The strict father was frightened for a moment, so he would never let his wife fetch water. He hurried forward to show his courtesy. Although he did it in a serious manner, it made the strict mother very happy.
At noon, Yan's father and mother finished cleaning, took a quick shower, dried their hair, and went to Zhong's house.
"Mom and Dad, you're here. The food is on the table. I was just about to call you to come and eat." Yuxiu said.
Yan Guofeng glanced at them, stood up from the sofa and walked towards the dining room, calling out to them as he walked, "Come on, eat first, then you two can go back and take a nap." It was obvious that these two had no chance of sleeping.
Father Yan nodded and followed. Mother Yan waved to Yuxiu with a smile. Zhong Yuxiu walked forward, and Mother Yan took her hand and walked towards the dining room.
"Yuxiu, we're going to bother you for the next few days after we come back."
"What's the point of bothering you? We're all family." Zhong Yuxiu didn't care about the difference between her parents-in-law and her husband. "You and Dad finally come home. I've asked the nanny to buy some good food to cook for you and Dad. I'll give you some nourishment. What would you like to eat?"
Yan's mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Everything is good, everything is good. Your father and I are not picky."
