Lin Laosan also stepped forward to greet him: "Comrade Qiao Feng, I am Xiaoyu's father, Lin Shengli."
When Qiao Feng met his sister's biological parents for the first time, they looked at him very seriously and were very warm towards him.
He felt much better about them than he did about the George and his wife.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Qiao Feng."
He then greeted all the elders of the Lin family and even took out some money to give to the two children.
Grandma Lin stopped her.
"No need to give the child money, don't be shy. Since you are Xiaoyu's brother, you are family with us. Come in."
Grandma Lin took charge at the crucial moment.
They led Qiao Feng inside and had Lin Jianguo and Lin Shengli, the two couples, accompany him.
He then went to the kitchen with Lin Yu.
"Xiaoyu, I've already started simmering the chicken soup, and I've also added some of the red dates you gave me. I'll also steam some egg custard later."
"Have a meal at home before you leave; they'll have to make do with what they have there for now."
Grandma Lin is a reasonable person. Even though Lin Yu is a family member, she shouldn't take it for granted that she should help.
Qiao Feng was a guest, and they felt bad for driving them back and forth.
It's impossible to make them run around delivering food to Zhou Hehua while they themselves get nothing to eat.
Her attitude was firm, and Lin Yu had no choice but to agree.
Qiao Feng was chatting happily with Grandpa Lin, Lin Laosan and his wife.
He was talking about Lin Yu and his childhood, and Lin Laosan and his wife listened with great interest.
Wang Zhaodi found it very interesting and would ask questions from time to time.
Da Niu was playing with her two children in the yard. She was a little socially awkward, and after greeting Qiao Feng, she didn't dare to say anything more, so she took the children outside.
Lin Yu walked into the main room and called to Qiao Feng, "Brother, let's eat here and go to the hospital later."
Qiao Feng had no objection to what his sister said, so he nodded in agreement.
She also said to Grandpa Lin, "Grandpa, I'm sorry to bother you."
Grandpa Lin smiled kindly: "Don't mention disturbing us, we're all family, don't be so polite."
Qiao Feng and Lin Yu were raised by their grandfather, so he respected Grandpa Lin the most.
The old man kept emphasizing that they were family, which reassured Qiao Feng a lot.
After meeting this family today, Qiao Feng finally understood why Lin Yu liked this place and wanted to stay.
During their childhood, they only had their grandparents as elders. As the elderly got older, they were no longer able to do what they needed, so the two of them were somewhat dependent on each other.
The Lin family has a lot of members, and each of them has their own personality, yet they all get along very harmoniously.
Lin Yu's biological parents love her very much; you can tell from their interactions that they are a real family.
Unlike Qiao Dehan and Song Zhenyun, who were indifferent to their children and even wished they didn't exist.
Qiao Feng was very satisfied with the Lin family, and Xiao Yu would be very happy staying here.
Today's dishes were prepared by Grandma Lin; they are all her specialties.
Chicken stewed in an earthen stove, stir-fried cured pork, and a potato and green bean dish.
Qiao Feng knew that people in the countryside rarely saw meat these days, so this meal seemed all the more sincere.
Grandma Lin is a generous and open-minded person, so of course she wouldn't be stingy at a time like this.
The whole family ate with Qiao Feng until they were stuffed.
Lin Laosan exclaimed, "My mother hasn't cooked such delicious food in a long time. We owe it all to Comrade Qiao Feng today."
Qiao Feng also thought that Grandma Lin's cooking was especially delicious, and he guessed that his sister's cooking skills were inherited from her.
"Yes, Grandma Lin's cooking is delicious. Uncle, you can just call me Qiao Feng, no need to be so polite."
Lin Laosan chuckled: "Alright, kid, you're my daughter's brother, so you're practically our son. From now on, I'll call you by your name."
Shen Zhinian nodded and said, "Your uncle is right. From now on, you're like a son to us. We're all family now, you know?"
Qiao Feng was deeply moved. The couple's eyes were sincere, and he knew they genuinely accepted him.
So he nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Auntie."
Wang Zhaodi said with a hint of jealousy, "Xiaoyu is really amazing. She can bring a son to the third son's family. Why wasn't he born to me?"
That wasn't just any ordinary eldest son; he was a promising eldest son who drove a military vehicle and wore a military uniform.
Lin Jianguo rolled his eyes at her: "You think you can have a child like Xiaoyu? Stop daydreaming."
It wasn't that Lin Jianguo didn't think highly of his three children, but Lin Yu was genuinely lively, clever, and very intelligent.
She inherited that from her parents.
Lin Jianguo's own child resembles both of them.
The eldest daughter is introverted and a bit dull, and the youngest son speaks and walks slower than others. Only the second daughter is a bit better; she studies well and is also more clever.
Lin Jianguo thought Erniu was quite clever, but still not as clever as Lin Yu.
It's likely that the couple didn't pass on many good traits to their child.
So he didn't blame his children; sometimes he even thought it was good that his three children were ordinary.
Wang Zhaodi's desire to give birth to a child like Lin Yu is simply a pipe dream.
If Lin Yu were her biological daughter, someone as biased towards boys as her would have severed ties with her long ago.
That's why I say his two daughters are so adorable.
Despite being neglected by her mother for so many years, she is still so well-behaved and obedient. Lin Jianguo felt that he and his wife should be grateful to have such two children.
After being ridiculed by Lin Jianguo, Wang Zhaodi pouted. She felt that since returning from the hospital, Jianguo hadn't been as kind to her as before.
Now I often seize every opportunity to educate and criticize her, and I tell her every day that it's a blessing from God that someone like her can have three good children.
Seeing her bashful and hesitant demeanor, Lin Jianguo found it offensive: "Don't put on that deadpan act for me."
Lin Yu and Lin Laosan watched the couple's battle of wits with great interest, their similar eyes sparkling.
Shen Zhinian and Qiao Feng looked at the two of them and shook their heads. The father and daughter were really the same; they just loved to watch other people's misfortunes.
After finishing their meal early, Qiao Feng and Lin Yu drove off with the chicken soup that Grandma Lin had made and the freshly steamed egg custard.
Lin Laosan watched the military vehicle leave, his brows furrowed.
Shen Zhinian took his arm and said, "Don't worry, Qiao Feng is a good kid."
After a long while, a soft "Hmm" was heard.
When Lin Yu and Qiao Feng arrived at the hospital, the baby had just woken up. Lin Shan changed the diaper, and Lin Yuan was playing with the baby.
Lin Aiguo and his wife sat and chatted on the side.
"Uncle, Aunt, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, have you eaten yet?"
The group had already gone to the hospital cafeteria to get their food and had eaten.
Lin Yu then brought out the food that Grandma Lin had prepared and gave it to Zhou Hehua to eat.
Looking at the pot of chicken soup and steamed egg custard, Zhou Hehua swallowed hard: "Grandma is so good to me."
Ding Dahua nodded: "Your grandma has always been good to us daughters-in-law. Now that you've given birth, eat more."
"Hmm, Mom, Dad, Xiaoyu, do you want some?"
Lin Aiguo smiled and said, "No need, you can eat it yourself."
