"Oh, our little grandson is smiling. Did he recognize the voices of grandpa and grandma?"
Li Suyao's heart melted when she saw her grandson smiling. She snatched him back and said, "Grandpa doesn't know how to hold him, so grandma will hold him."
Seeing that his parents only had their grandson in their eyes, and their children and daughter-in-law had become air, Han Zheng laughed helplessly: "Dad, Mom, where is the car parked? Let's put the luggage in the car first. It's cold outside. Let's talk in the car."
"Let's go, outside."
Han Zhangping came over to help with the luggage and also showed concern for his daughter-in-law and daughter: "Huaying, Xiaolin, you must be tired after such a long train ride, right?"
"Dad, it's okay. We bought a sleeper berth and slept and rested on the bus. I'm not tired."
Han Zhangping was driving, Han Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat, and Li Suyao was sitting in the back seat holding her grandson and daughter and daughter-in-law. It was not as cold in the car as outside, so they took off the blankets and let Taotao come out to move around.
Taotao was very happy while grandma was playing with him. He kept babbling all the way and was not shy at all. He sat steadily in grandma's arms.
As soon as Taotao returned to the military family compound, he became everyone's favorite. Neighbors came to see him, and the elders gave him gifts and candies. He really received red envelopes non-stop.
He is the grandson of his grandparents' dreams. He is lively, cute and well-behaved. He eats and drinks milk very well. Han Zhangping and his wife take turns holding him and playing with him. Within a day or two, Taotao became completely familiar with them and begged his grandfather to take him out to play every day.
With the help of parents-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of Taotao, Han Zheng and his family also went out to play for half a day, actually they also went to inspect the land in advance.
Yun Huaying had wanted to open a pharmaceutical and food factory in Jinling a long time ago, mainly producing health-care pharmaceuticals and foods. She discussed it with her parents-in-law last night, and they offered their support without hesitation. Her mother-in-law even offered to take charge of it all, saying that as long as she provided the funds and formula technology, she would take care of the rest.
The mother-in-law recommended a piece of land suitable for building a factory to them. They came here today specifically to inspect it. Their main task was to determine the location, and the rest of the procedures were left to the mother-in-law.
The popular nutritional supplements on the market now are mainly milk powder and malted milk. During the holidays, the slightly wealthier families will bring these to wish each other a happy new year. Ordinary people can only afford two kilograms of meat at most and cannot afford these expensive nutritional supplements. So she wants to launch some health care products that are affordable and effective, and to establish the brand and promote it nationwide within the next two years.
With the help of her parents-in-law, Yun Huaying bought the land before the New Year and obtained all the industrial and commercial certificates. After the New Year, she can arrange for the construction team to enter the site and start work.
On New Year's Eve this year, the five adults and one child celebrated the New Year at home. Han Zheng and his wife prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, and they cooked Han Lin's favorite beef offal hotpot.
"Dad, Mom, my second sister-in-law made an amazing beef offal hotpot. Come and try it."
When they were in the middle of their month, Yun Huaying made this dish at home. Except for the two babies, everyone else in the family loved it. She even made it spicy on purpose, but they didn't find it spicy at all. On the contrary, they found it very refreshing. That night, all the soup was divided among the young and old and used to soak rice.
"You guys, Huaying is usually very busy. She has to deal with so many things at the factory and take care of Taotao. How can she find time to cook for you?"
Now the younger generations in the family are all living with their parents. With so many mouths to feed every day, Li Suyao usually calls her youngest son and daughter to help with housework and not tire out their grandparents.
"Mom, I seldom cook. I only go into the kitchen occasionally to make one or two fresh dishes for them when I'm resting at home and Xiaolin and the others help me take care of Taotao." Yun Huaying continued with a smile.
"Well, you should work less and let them learn from you when you cook fresh dishes."
Li Suyao also picked up some lean braised pork for her as she spoke, "Huaying, you've worked hard preparing all these dishes today. Eat more meat. Taotao is still drinking milk. He has a good appetite and drinks a lot of milk. You should eat more nutritious foods to replenish your body."
The grandson is raised strong and healthy, all thanks to the daughter-in-law. Li Suyao understands this.
Han Zhangping also brought a bowl of chicken soup to his daughter-in-law. It was a little hot when it was first served. "Huaying, drink it once it cools down a little."
"Okay, thank you, Mom and Dad."
Taotao was sitting in his grandfather's arms at this time, drooling at the sight of the delicious food on the table. Li Suyao took a small spoon to feed him the complementary food that she had made specially for him. He was not willing to eat tonight, his eyes were fixed on the braised fish in front of him, his saliva still dripping.
"You drooling kid." Han Zheng took a small handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
Li Suyao smiled as she recounted a funny story about her son's childhood: "You were all like this when you were little. One time, your grandmother's birthday came, and I carried you and Xiaozi on my back back to her parents' home, bringing back a chicken. Your grandmother stewed the chicken, and as soon as it was served on the table, you two jumped on it. I couldn't hold you down alone. One was over three years old, and the other was two, yet you actually worked together to grab the bowl, and you attacked strategically. Even three adults couldn't stop you, and you managed to snatch the two chicken legs away."
"Hehe..." Yun Huaying imagined the scene in her head and couldn't help laughing.
Han Lin was also laughing. "Mom, the scene you described will happen again soon. Lebao is not an honest person. When he grows up, he will definitely be more mischievous than his big brother. In the future, he, Taotao, and Zhe's family will be involved in lawsuits every day."
Li Suyao continued to feed her grandson, smiling broadly as she said to him, "Now our living standards are better, and life is much better than before. From now on, Taotao and Lebao, as well as the little brother or sister in your aunt's belly, whatever you want to eat, grandma will buy it for you. Everyone will have a share, and we don't need to fight over it."
Taotao didn't understand, he just knew that grandma was talking to him. He didn't keep quiet even when sitting on grandpa's lap, kicking his legs constantly and grinning.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Han Lin was responsible for washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen, while the others sat in the living room and played with Taotao.
There was also a party in the military district tonight, which started at 7 o'clock sharp. After they finished their housework, they all put on thick clothes and went to watch the performance.
Han Zhangping and his wife sat in the front row holding their grandson to watch, while Han Zheng and his wife sat a little further back. His parents-in-law were very patient in taking care of their grandson, and they felt very relieved to leave Taotao in their care.
During the Spring Festival, Han Zhangping and his family rested at home for a few days and enjoyed the happiness of playing with their grandchildren. Yun Huaying also had a good rest at home for a few days.
After the government unit officially started construction, they also became busy and began to prepare for the new factory.
They stayed here for quite a long time this time. It was not until after the Lantern Festival that they set off to return to Kyoto because the university was about to start and the three of them had to go back to report to school.
