After a night, they arrived in Beijing. Huo Haocheng began to pack his things. When they got off the train, Ruan Ruan said to the old man, "Grandpa, I wish you a pleasant holiday in Beijing." Then, carrying her bag and holding the child, she and Huo Haocheng quickly left the station.
The train arrived at the station at 6 a.m., and when they came out, Ruan Shaohong was already waiting outside in his car.
"Huo Haocheng, over here!" In the crowd, Ruan Shaohong saw Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng following behind with their child in their arms. They hadn't seen each other for a year and a half, so seeing them now was inevitably exciting.
Upon hearing the sound, Huo Haocheng looked up and then escorted Ruan Ruan towards Ruan Shaohong.
As they approached, Ruan Shaohong excitedly said, "Quick, let me take a good look at my two nephews!"
It was still early, and the children hadn't woken up yet, so Ruan Shaohong just looked at their sleeping faces and thought, "So cute!" Their little eyelashes were curled up, and he really wanted to reach out and touch them.
"Alright, let's go." Huo Haocheng couldn't stand anyone spying on his daughter. Seeing that Ruan Shaohong was about to make a move on his daughter's eyelashes, he immediately pushed him away.
"Oh, how stingy, like everyone else is entitled to this?" Ruan Shaohong wasn't angry when Huo Haocheng pushed him, but he was unhappy that Huo Haocheng wouldn't let him touch his little niece.
"You didn't have any to begin with." Whether it was Huo Haocheng's good luck or not, the couple had five children, all of whom were boys, but Huo Haocheng had a pair of twins, which made them extremely envious.
"Fine, you just wait. I don't have one now, but do you think I won't have one later?" He was just muttering something, but he didn't expect Huo Haocheng to sting him. Ruan Shaohong was also unconvinced and thought that he would have a daughter with his wife when he got back.
"Ha, come tell me when you have it. I'll definitely give the child a big red envelope then."
I hadn't seen Ruan Shaohong for a long time. Before, he gave people the impression of being calm and steady. But this time, he seemed different. He was more talkative and lively than before. I wonder if it was just my imagination.
"Fine, you wait and see. My daughter is definitely getting this big red envelope." Stunned by Huo Haocheng's words, Ruan Shaohong's competitive spirit flared up, and he declared directly.
Ruan Ruan didn't comment on the childish conversation between the two grown men. She simply kept those words in mind, planning to have a good chat with her sister-in-law when she got home.
Half an hour later, the car drove into the courtyard, and the people waiting inside immediately came out as soon as they heard the car.
As soon as the car stopped, Mom and Grandma came up to Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng and asked, "How was the journey? Was it alright?"
Ruan Ruan was very happy to see her mother and grandmother. She immediately opened the car door and was about to get out of the car with her in her arms. Gu Wenzhen immediately stepped forward and took the child from her arms. "Is this Da Bao or Xiao Bao? Oh, why are you awake? Did Grandma's voice wake you up?"
As soon as Gu Wenzhen took the child, she saw Da Bao quietly open his eyes. His big, blinking eyes saw that he was awake and the person he was holding was someone he didn't recognize, so he stretched his neck and started looking for the person.
"Dabao, Mommy's here." Ruan Ruan knew how her children would react. The only time they would cry was when they woke up and didn't see anyone, or when they saw a stranger. They would only start crying after not seeing anyone familiar. Ruan Ruan thought this was good, because it would be convenient for her to find someone to check on them if she had to go out in the future.
When he saw his mother, Da Bao didn't start crying, but he didn't want his grandmother to hold him anymore. He reached out his hands and wanted his mother to hold him.
"Mom, Grandma, Da Bao is hungry. Let's go inside first, and he'll be full soon."
"Yes, yes, come inside quickly, you must be hungry too, let's eat first, let's eat first."
After entering the house, Ruan Ruan greeted her grandfather and father, and then took the child upstairs.
When they went downstairs again, half an hour later, their whole family was waiting for them.
When they came down, I told them to eat quickly. After eating, they had to go to work. Usually, they would have already left by this time, but today they waited for Ruanruan and the others so they could see the children.
During the meal, Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan each held one child. Everyone at the table would take a bite of food and then glance at the children. The two children were amused by their behavior.
Hearing their giggles, everyone at the table laughed along.
After the meal, everyone placed the gifts prepared for the children in the hands of Da Bao and Xiao Bao, letting them hold them themselves. The two children looked at the red things in their hands, tugged at them hard, and when they found that they couldn't pull them apart, they lost interest in playing with them and put the red envelopes in their soft arms.
Even Xiao Bao, who was being held by Huo Haocheng, knew that good things should be given to his mother, so he stretched out his hand, wanting to give the things to Ruan Ruan.
Seeing the two children's behavior, the old man and woman said that the children were well-educated and had always cared for their mother since they were little.
After the people who needed to go to work left, only Ruan Ruan and the old man and woman, as well as Ruan Shaohong's son Ruan Zechen, whose nickname was Ai Ai, mainly because this child kept saying "ai ai" and "ai ai," so that's what they called him.
Hey, he woke up once before dawn, ate his fill, and then fell asleep again. He's sleeping on Grandpa's bed right now.
"Come here, let me hold the baby." The old man sat on the sofa and reached out to Huo Haocheng to hold the baby. Then, the grandmother also took the older baby.
Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Ruan Ruan got up and took the children's red envelopes upstairs to put them away, just in case they got lost later.
They also put the gifts they prepared for Ai Ai in their pockets and brought them down with them.
When she came down, she only saw Huo Haocheng. "Where are Grandpa and Grandma?"
Huo Haocheng felt helpless about the fact that the two children had abandoned their father and great-grandparents to go out and play in such a short time.
"What's wrong? Did the child abandon you?" Sometimes, Ruan Ruan couldn't understand Huo Haocheng's fragile heart. Wasn't it good that someone was helping them take care of the child? Why did he always think that the child would leave him?
"Ah! My wife, you'll always be with me, right?"
Seeing Huo Haocheng putting on a pitiful look, Ruan Ruan said perfunctorily, "Oh, right, right, right."
"If you keep acting like this, what will you do when your daughter gets married?" Ruan Ruan thought about the scene: Huo Haocheng, in his forties or fifties, wearing military boots, kicking the man Xiao Bao brought back to the ground, and then glaring at him fiercely. Wow, that scene was too beautiful to bear. She dared not think about it anymore.
Upon hearing that someone wanted to marry his daughter, Huo Haocheng's previously aggrieved face immediately darkened. "Want to marry my daughter? Fine, beat me first. If you're weaker than me, then there's no need."
In response to Huo Haocheng's words, Ruan Ruan said that she was a doting father and couldn't bear it. She turned around and went to her grandfather's room to check on Ai Ai, who was still asleep, before going out to find her grandparents.
