If you can't figure something out, then don't think about it.

but,

"Mom, what did they give me?" Su Qinghu asked Ms. Meng as she hung her clothes and hats on the rack.

If it's too expensive, return it or buy something of equal value in return.

Ms. Meng: “Meat was given.”

Just as Su Qinghu breathed a sigh of relief, Ms. Meng added, "A lot of meat."

"Ah?" Su Qinghu turned around, met Ms. Meng's affirmative gaze, and subconsciously asked, "How much is a lot?"

"A sheep." Ms. Meng was also a little surprised. "And yak meat and beef."

Of course, she didn't know what yak meat was. It was the people from the research institute who told her and roughly explained how to process the meat to make it taste better.

If Su Qinghu had only mentioned mutton and beef, she wouldn't have made any associations. But now she looked at Ms. Meng, pointed in the direction the two children had left, and blurted out a guess, "Could it be Grandpa Dadan?"

Although there has been no news of this old man since he returned to China, it is common sense that if his life was really in danger, he should be allowed to see his family for the last time, or his ashes should be sent back to his family.

The meat that was delivered this time, plus the unnamed gift from her and Chen Lie's wedding...

It must be Grandpa Dadan without a doubt.

"This..." seems to make sense?

Ms. Meng was already somewhat certain, but she still asked, "The factory director and the people at the research institute are uncle and nephew. You helped the factory director and the interview was satisfactory. Isn't it reasonable for them to give you something?"

Su Qinghu held out her hand, and Ms. Meng handed her the little chestnut ball. Then she said, "That academician is very frugal. Apart from basic living expenses, almost all of his salary and allowances are used to help poor students. He probably doesn't have much money to buy these things..."

During the interview, Su Qinghu noticed that the academician's uniform was frayed at the cuffs. Later, after learning more about his life from the director, he realized how poor the old man lived.

"Ah, then... then that's too polite, right? These two children are also our children." Ms. Meng really didn't know what to say. For people who live on a salary, this amount of meat can be considered a luxury.

She didn't have the opportunity to understand Grandpa Dadan's character, but her friends occasionally talked about the heroic deeds of scientific researchers who overcame life's difficulties and devoted themselves to research, and she could also outline some of his character in her mind.

"Oh, he has to be so frugal..." Ms. Meng sighed.

Chen Lie has been raising the two children all these years and has never heard any news about Grandpa Dadan. He must be living a very difficult life.

Su Qinghu advised her, "Think positively. Maybe this is a reward from his superiors for successfully completing his project."

"Besides, can we go back?" Su Qinghu poked the little chestnut ball lying on his shoulder. After hearing his squeak, he said with satisfaction, "It doesn't look good to send it here and send it back."

"What should we give in return?" Ms. Meng asked. "Whether it's from Grandpa Dadan or that academician, we should at least give something in return, right?"

Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming in two days, so it’s just the right time to send a return gift without embarrassing anyone.

Su Qinghu was about to answer Ms. Meng when she suddenly felt a tuft of her hair being grabbed. She looked over and saw that Ms. Meng had also noticed it. She quickly went to coax Xiao Li Tuan'er, "Be good, let go."

Ms. Meng grabbed his little hand, not daring to use any force at all. "Li Tuan'er, this is mommy's hair. It will hurt. Let go quickly."

Su Qinghu silently watched her mother-in-law grab Xiao Lituan'er's small fist with one hand and try to free his delicate fingers that were grabbing her hair with the other hand. She sighed and looked up at the sky speechlessly.

What can be achieved by coaxing like this?

She reached out and touched the little chestnut ball's hair, grabbed a handful, and before she could use any force, she felt two condemning gazes.

Letting go of his hand, Su Qinghu looked at Dadan and Erdan at the door and changed the subject as if nothing had happened. "I want to go buy some New Year's goods tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

Erdan went over and tickled the soles of Xiaolituaner's feet, intending to make him let go, but it made him pull even tighter.

Su Qinghu was speechless and choked with emotion.

Erdan panicked, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Su Qinghu glanced at him, grabbed Xiaolituaner's ear, and while he was stunned, she separated his little hands and saved her hair.

"I finally understand that your hearts are all biased."

Glancing at everyone, Su Qinghu chuckled and patted Xiaoli Tuan'er's butt, "I just feel sorry for him..."

"Ah~" Xiaoli Tuaner thought she was playing with him and kicked his legs with joy.

At the dinner table, Aunt Yu suggested going home for the New Year, and Su Qinghu agreed. After the meal, he gave her a red envelope as a reward in addition to her salary.

Aunt Yu was very happy about the extra money and refused it for a while before accepting it.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I've told Erdan where Xiaoli Tuan'er's things are, and I asked him to write them down. If you can't find them, just look in the notebook."

After following this family for a long time, Aunt Yu also liked this way of recording things.

"Okay." Su Qinghu nodded. "We'll go shopping for New Year's goods tomorrow. I'll drive you there."

Yuan Hang's car has been transferred to her. Normally, she could drive to and from get off work every day, but her two children insisted on riding bikes to pick her up after get off work. In addition, it was difficult to use a car at the end of the year, so she gave the car to her father-in-law Chen Bai.

My father-in-law is spending the New Year here this year, and he will come over with his car tomorrow.

Aunt Yu: "No, no, there's a bus not far from the door. I can take a few buses and get home."

Perhaps she was really afraid that Su Qinghu would send her off specially, so before dawn the next day, she said goodbye to Ms. Meng and left with her luggage.

When Su Qinghu woke up due to his biological clock, dazzling sunlight was already shining through the gaps in the curtains.

When she opened her eyes, she met the watery black eyes of Xiao Lituaner. The little guy grinned and looked at her, as if he was very happy.

Su Qinghu leaned over and gave her a kiss.

Little Li Tuaner giggled, revealing his tender gums, and squeezed towards her with all his might.

squeeze?

Su Qinghu lifted the quilt and was shocked.

"Son, can you roll over now?" Su Qinghu was surprised and felt indescribably happy.

If she hadn't blocked it, the little guy would probably have turned over halfway.

"Ah~~~" Xiaoli Tuaner didn't understand what Su Qinghu was saying. He just tried hard to flip over the object that was blocking him.

Su Qinghu moved aside and saw him turn over again.

“!!!”

As Su Qinghu watched, he suddenly realized a problem.

The bed at home probably needs a fence...

As she was getting dressed, she watched her son turn over in his pajamas, and a feeling of being touched welled up in her heart.

This is life.
