At night, Shen Xiaobei stayed at Fan Huifang's house.
The next morning, I helped her make steamed buns, steamed buns and cold dishes. After having breakfast with her, I took the two children to the place where Gao Hongmian used to set up her stall.
Gao Hongmian had already come over and was very surprised to see her and Shui Enmuen.
The two of them chatted happily at the stall for a while, and Shen Xiaobei told Gao Hongmian the purpose of bringing the child back this time.
After hearing this, Gao Hongmian did not support it at first, worried that it would be unsafe for her to go to the disaster area alone.
After being persuaded by Shen Xiaobei, he stopped objecting and promised her that when he returned, he would help her persuade his parents-in-law to agree.
After guarding the stall with Gao Hongmian for about an hour, Duan Donglin came on his bicycle to pick her up to close the stall.
Shen Xiaobei went to say hello to Fan Huifang, then took the two children and returned to Duan's house with Duan Donglin and Gao Hongmian.
"Xiaobei, hey, you're back? These are my two good grandchildren. Come on, let grandma take a good look!"
"Mom! Shuien, Muen, this is grandma, say hello to grandma."
"Hello, Grandma—"
Wang Zhaodi was so surprised to see Shen Xiaobei suddenly come back with two children that she immediately ran out of the kitchen.
After wiping her wet hands on her apron, she squatted down excitedly and looked at her two eldest grandsons whom she missed day and night.
"Hey, my big, sweet grandsons! My two big, sweet grandsons are just like Xichuan when he was little! Jiaxing, Jiaxing, your two big grandsons are back, why don't you come over and see them!"
"Donglin, hurry up and call your grandpa and grandma out! They must be so happy!"
"Yes, Mom!"
Wang Zhaodi couldn't let go of her two little grandsons. She kissed one and hugged the other, kissed the other and hugged the other. She wished she had four hands.
Duan Jiaxing was helping to light the fire in the kitchen. When he heard the noise outside, he felt very happy.
However, he was not like Wang Zhaodi, who showed it so obviously, making it seem as if the Duan family was very patriarchal.
As a father and grandfather, he cherishes all the children of the Duan family, no matter whether they are boys or girls.
Duan Jiaxing waited until the fire in the stove was low enough not to burn the dish in the pot before he walked out of the kitchen slowly with a smile on his face.
"dad!"
"Well, Xiaobei is back."
"Shui En, Mu En, this is grandpa!"
"Hello, Grandpa—"
"Why!"
The two little guys Shui'en and Mu'en are very smart.
As soon as Shen Xiaobei said this was grandpa, the two of them were able to draw inferences immediately, without her teaching them again, and they said hello to grandpa at the same time.
Duan Jiaxing had a somewhat reserved expression just now, but when he heard his two little grandsons calling him in such a polite and soft voice, he softened instantly.
With a smile on his face, he immediately held both grandsons in his arms, one on each side.
Then, with a loving look on his face, he rubbed the little faces of his two grandsons affectionately with his chin, making them giggle and they soon became familiar with him, their grandfather.
Wang Zhaodi sat together with the three of them, grandfather and grandson, and kept laughing while teasing her two little grandsons.
Shen Xiaobei saw this happy scene nearby and couldn't help feeling moved.
I think blood ties are really a magical thing.
Blood relatives can be so close when they meet for the first time, as if they have been together for a long time.
Mr. Duan and Grandma Duan also came out later, and Duan Donglin also came out with his daughter in his arms, following the two elders.
Duan Donglin and Gao Hongmian's daughter is called Duan Xien, and she will be one year old by the end of August.
The little girl was very pretty, with a small face the size of a palm and big round eyes. She looked eye-catching and lively, and was prettier than both of them.
Moreover, she loves to laugh. You can tell at a glance that her mother must have loved to laugh too when she was pregnant with her.
The name Duan Xien was given by Duan Donglin and Gao Hongmian based on the names of their two children Shuien and Muen. All three children's names contain the word "En", so you can tell at a glance that they are brothers and sisters.
The couple also decided that if they have children in the future, the last character of their names will also be "En".
When Shen Xiaobei saw what Duan Donglin wrote in his letter, he was very moved. He felt that this eldest brother and sister-in-law had a strong sense of family and were very united among brothers and sisters.
Usually when the couple are not at home, Duan Xien is looked after by Wang Zhaodi. If Wang Zhaodi is busy, grandma will look after him.
Wang Zhaodi and her grandmother also like this little granddaughter very much.
However, with the arrival of Shui'en and Mu'en, Xi'en's status seemed to have declined.
It was when Shen Xiaobei saw Xien that he noticed that Gao Hongmian had gone into the kitchen alone and was busy at some point.
She hugged Xien, stuffed a red envelope into her pocket as a greeting gift, and after chatting with a few elders for a while, she went into the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Xiaobei, why did you come in? Go sit in the main room and have a rest."
"No need, sister-in-law. I stayed at Sister Huifang's place all night yesterday. I've recovered a lot and I'm not tired. I'll come and chat with you for a while."
"Sister-in-law, just now the elders were so enthusiastic towards Shui En and Mu En, their eyes were full of their two little grandchildren. Are you a little jealous?"
Shen Xiaobei asked straight to the point with a frank smile on his face.
Given her friendship with Gao Hongmian, she knew that for some things, it would be better to be direct rather than to test them in a roundabout way.
"Xiaobei, look at what you said. Shuien and Muen are my parents' grandchildren and my grandparents' great-grandchildren. How could I be jealous of this?"
