Chapter 29 Returning to My Mother's Home (Part 1)
There was also half a bag of dried peanuts that my mother-in-law asked me to bring, and these things filled the not-so-small backpack to the brim.
One thing that needs to be noted is that these fruits were supplied by Lin Yunxi to Jiang Houxiong, and she took them out openly without attracting attention.
If someone asks, you can say that you bought it in the county town.
Following the route he remembered, Lin Yunxi carried Yanyan to the door of a courtyard that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Although she had already prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
After adjusting for a moment, Lin Yunxi finally plucked up the courage to go forward and knock on the door.
"Thump, thump, thump..." There were footsteps coming from inside the door, and then the wooden door was opened from the inside with a creak.
The person who opened the door was Lin Xiaoxiao, the eldest daughter of Lin Yunchuan, the eldest brother of the Lin family. When she saw the person standing at the door, she immediately shouted excitedly.
"Aunt, you're back."
Before the original owner got married, Lin's father and mother were reluctant to let their daughter work in the fields, so they simply let her do housework and take care of the children at home.
It can be said that Lin Xiaoxiao was brought up by the original owner, and the relationship between the two is very good.
Lin Yunxi smiled and touched her head: "Well, aunt is back, where are your grandparents?"
"They went to work, and I stayed at home to take care of my younger brothers."
"Xiaoxiao is such a good kid."
The two of them came to the yard, and the sound of their talking attracted several children who were playing in the main room, including Lin Hao, the youngest son of her eldest brother.
There are also a pair of twin sons from her second brother Lin Xinghe’s family: Lin Lei and Lin Yan. The three children are about the same age as Yanyan.
Lin Hao is one year older than Yanyan and is the older brother. Lin Lei and Lin Yan are a few months younger than Yanyan and are the younger brothers.
Lin Yunxi has not come back many times since she got married, so except for Xiaoxiao, the three younger children in the family are very unfamiliar with her.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was very much like an older sister, introduced her to her three younger brothers: "This is our aunt, come and say hello to her."
"Hello, auntie."
"Oh, so good." Lin Yunxi touched the tender little faces of his three nephews one by one.
Yanyan, in his mother's arms, was very happy when he saw three little boys who were about the same age and height as him.
He struggled to get down from his mother's arms. Suddenly, the four little kids looked at each other, curiosity written all over their tender faces.
Lin Yunxi gently stroked her son's soft hair and introduced them to him one by one:
"This is your cousin Xiaoxiao and cousin Haohao, and these two are your cousins Xiaolei and Xiaoyan."
"Xiao Hao, this is Yanyan's younger brother. Xiao Lei and Xiao Yan should call Yanyan brother."
"Hello, brother and sister, hello, brother." Yanyan greeted them seriously.
"Hello, brother Yanyan."
Looking at the well-behaved children greeting each other, Lin Yunxi felt very warm.
She took out five apples from the basket, washed them, and shared them with the children who were playing together.
Yanyan often eats various fruits and delicious foods made with fruits at home, so it is not particularly rare.
But Xiaoxiao and the others had never eaten such a sweet and big apple since they were little, so they took small bites of it and held it in their mouths for a long time, reluctant to swallow it.
People who have been mothers really can’t bear to see this, Lin Yunxi said gently.
"Eat with big mouthfuls. Auntie brought you a lot of apples, as well as pork, fish, and ribs. Let's cook them all for lunch."
"Wow, we're going to have meat for lunch..." When the kids heard that they were going to have meat, they immediately jumped up and cheered happily.
Xiaoxiao even came up and hugged Lin Yunxi's waist: "I like aunt so much."
"I like my aunt, too."
"I like mom, too."
Several little rascals also expressed their love for Lin Yunxi without any reservation.
"Okay, okay, I like you too." Lin Yunxi smiled gently and then said to Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, take your brothers to the field to call grandma back, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao led her four younger brothers and walked towards the fields in a mighty manner.
Lin Yunxi put the ribs and pork belly into the kitchen, and put a few carp into the bucket.
In the fields, while Lin's mother looked up to wipe her sweat, she saw several children from the family running towards her from a distance.
She thought something had happened at home, so she dropped her farm tools and walked over.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here in the field? Is there something wrong at home?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her anxious grandmother and hurriedly explained.
"Nothing happened. My aunt came back and asked me to ask grandma to go home."
Hearing this, the usually serious mother Lin suddenly smiled and pulled her eldest granddaughter to confirm again and again.
Lin Xiaoxiao was annoyed by her grandmother's questions, so she pulled Yanyan over and replied, "It's true, Yanyan's cousin is here too."
Because they were unfamiliar with the place, Yanyan followed her cousin closely, and because she was small in stature, Lin's mother didn't really notice the presence of a child.
Yanyan also raised his little head and looked at his grandma with his big round eyes, blinking them, revealing a clever look.
Zhang Guizhi looked at the big eyes that were exactly the same as her daughter's and could no longer hold back. She walked forward and hugged her little grandson in her arms.
"Oh, my dearest sweetheart, I miss you so much."
Yanyan has been sensitive since he was young. Although he has no impression of his grandmother, he can clearly feel her kindness and love.
Hearing grandma calling her her sweetheart, Yanyan blushed and put her little hands around grandma's neck.
In a soft baby voice, she called out, "Grandma, Yanyan misses you too."
Zhang Guizhi, who had been impetuous all his life, had his heart melted in an instant, and he kissed Yanyan's little face hard.
"You are such a good grandson of grandma. Come home and play with grandma. The fields are too sunny."
Just like that, she stopped working, carried her beloved grandson to the edge of the field, and shouted loudly.
"Village chief, I'm taking a day off today because my daughter is back." His tone was filled with excitement and pride.
Every family has a daughter who marries out, so everyone understood and the village chief readily agreed.
When Lin's mother returned home, Lin Yunxi was sitting in the yard picking vegetables.
Seeing her precious daughter appear in front of her, Lin's mother's eyes instantly turned red.
But she said something that was not in line with her heart: "You damn girl, do you still remember that you have a mother's family?"
But I regretted the moment I said it.
Lin's mother stared at her daughter's expression closely, fearing that she would anger her daughter who had finally returned home and leave.
However, Lin Yunxi was not the original owner, so naturally she would not have any bad emotions. She only saw from it a mother's longing for her daughter.
For some reason, Lin Yunxi felt very close to Lin's mother, as if Lin's mother was her mother in another time and space, so tears unconsciously filled her eyes.
When she spoke, she acted coquettishly without even noticing it, and said in a soft voice:
"Mom, are you going to chase me away just now that I'm back?"
Of course, this was not what Lin's mother meant. When she heard her daughter's coquettish speech, she put down her little grandson in her arms, walked forward and hugged him.
"You are stabbing your mother in the heart, aren't you? Your father and I only have you as our daughter, and we raised you with great difficulty."
"Even if mom and dad did something wrong, you can't just cut off contact with us like this."
