After having dinner at home, Fu Mingyi drove Huo Yue back to the Huo family home. Because it was the busy farming season, only Ruan Ruan and her grandmother were at home with the two children. The old man was nowhere to be found, and everyone else had gone to work in the fields. Huo Haocheng had gone to help his mother and third aunt.
Seeing the two of them happily carrying large and small bags, the old lady knew that she was really pregnant.
"How is it? What did the doctor say? How old is he?"
"The doctor said it's been over a month, Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine." Huo Yue placed the steamed egg cake on the cabinet and happily told the old lady. Then she asked Ruan Ruan, "Can Da Bao and Xiao Bao eat this steamed egg cake now?" She didn't know what was safe for the children to eat and what wasn't, so even though she said she bought it for the children, anyone could eat it.
"You can eat a little, but not too much. It's a supplementary food." Ruan Ruan looked at the things they bought. It seems that people are really in high spirits when they have a happy event. Look at this pile of things, it must have cost a lot of money.
Fu Mingyi was the only one working in their family. Huo Yue hadn't gotten married since they got married. It wasn't that Huo Yue didn't want to work, but Fu Mingyi felt that it was enough for him to work in their family. He hadn't made Huo Yue do any hard work when she was at home, so there was no reason for her to work after marrying him. It would make him seem useless.
Hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Huo Yue happily took a sponge cake, cut it in half, and gave one half to Da Bao and one half to Xiao Bao. "Da Bao, Xiao Bao, come here, call me Auntie, and Auntie will give you something delicious to eat."
Ruan Ruan washed the straw mat that her grandfather had made for the child and left it outside to dry for half a day before bringing it inside. She laid it flat on the living room floor, then arranged stools in a circle and laid the quilt on the stools. In this way, she created a simple place for the child to learn to walk.
The two babies were resting because they were tired from walking, but when they heard someone calling them and saw that they were holding something delicious, the little one happily pushed her chubby body off the ground, struggled to her feet, and walked shakily towards Huo Yue while holding onto the edge of the stool.
"Xiao Bao, call me Auntie. If you call me Auntie, you'll get something to eat." Huo Yue looked at Ruan Ruan and her grandmother with surprise as Xiao Bao walked up to her. "Xiao Bao can walk?"
It's not her fault. She got back too late yesterday, and the two children fell asleep after dinner. This morning, before the children even woke up, they went to the hospital for a checkup, so she had no idea that the two children could walk.
"She can walk, but she's still a bit unsteady, so I wrapped her up with some things." Grandma said happily, looking at Huo Yue's surprised face, as if it were something to be proud of.
"Auntie, eat!" Xiao Bao walked up to Huo Yue and reached out to take the chicken cake from her hand. However, her aunt was too happy to see Xiao Bao standing in front of her. Xiao Bao was so angry that she grabbed Huo Yue's wrist and shouted at her because she couldn't get her food.
Xiao Bao: How could this person be like this? They promised to give me food if I called them "Auntie"! Humph, [○?｀Д′? ○]
Upon hearing his younger sister's voice, Da Bao, who had originally intended to stay on the ground for a while longer, quickly crawled to his sister's feet, grabbed the blanket in front of him, and stood up.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's Auntie's fault, it's Auntie's fault, come here, come here." Hearing Xiao Bao calling her and having her hand grabbed by Xiao Bao, and seeing Da Bao coming over in such a difficult way, Huo Yue quickly stuffed the chicken cake in her hand into the two children's hands.
"Did Huo Haocheng teach Da Bao to do this?" The old lady was also stunned to see her great-grandson's movements so nimble. It couldn't have been Ruan Ruan who taught him, so it could only have been Huo Haocheng.
"No, I don't know?" Ruan Ruan was also seeing her son do this for the first time. He usually seemed very lazy and wouldn't even take a few extra steps. But now, upon hearing his sister's voice, he immediately started moving. However, she had never seen Huo Haocheng teach her this action. Could it be that she usually got up too late and hadn't seen it?
"His movements are very standard; he's clearly a good candidate for the army!" Fu Mingyi looked at his nephew with delight. From his perspective as a soldier, Huo Haocheng had a worthy successor!
"Let's wait and see what he decides when he grows up." The child is still young. As for what industry he will pursue when he grows up, that's up to him to choose. As parents, we can only guide him, not decide his life for him.
Seeing that it was still early, Fu Mingyi told his grandmother and Huo Yue and then went to help in the fields.
After Fu Mingyi left, Grandma and Ruan Ruan gave Huo Yue some information about pregnancy, especially since she was still very early in the pregnancy and needed to be extra careful.
Over the next week, Fu Mingyi formally handed over his work to his teammates, then packed up everything they needed and mailed it to Beijing in advance, using Ruan Ruan's home address.
For the remaining three days, Huo Haocheng and Fu Mingyi went hunting in the mountains before dawn every day and didn't return until dark. Each time they came back, they were laden with their spoils.
After dinner, Ruan Ruan and Huo Yue were responsible for watching the children and bathing them, while the others cleaned up the pheasants, rabbits, spores, and a small wild boar they had hunted in the backyard. They kept some for the next day and pickled the rest with coarse salt to dry and eat slowly.
During this time, Fu Mingyi also sent some back to his own family.
As Huo Haocheng's vacation was coming to an end, the family began packing their things, mainly the belongings of his grandparents and Huo Haojie.
When Ruan Ruan decided to build a factory in Beijing, she also mentioned it to Huo Haojie, hoping that he could stay in Beijing to help her.
One is that, just like in Yuncheng, she's working at a pharmaceutical factory and a furniture factory. The pharmaceutical factory is fine; Zheng Xuyang and his group are familiar with the procedures. It's just that at the furniture factory, Huo Haoshi was transferred over, but he's only working alone. Ruanruan's idea is to have Huo Haojie bring Dayong and the others to work at the furniture factory, so that their help during this time won't be in vain.
Moreover, Ruan Ruan also heard from Huo Haojie that Dayong had taken a liking to a girl. The girl was not opposed to the fact that Dayong was an orphan, but she just wanted Dayong to have a job. It is very difficult to find a job in Beijing now. Either you have connections or you are good enough. Dayong has neither.
Therefore, when setting up the factory, in addition to the employees of the pharmaceutical factory, Ruan Ruan thought that after they went back, she would have Huo Haocheng go to her father. It would be better to use veterans, mainly because they would be more secure.
Originally, Ruan Ruan wanted Huo Songhuai to go with her, but he refused. This time, the Huo family patriarch and matriarch went to the capital with Huo Haocheng and the others. Although the matter in the capital had been resolved, he still felt that now was not the time for him to go to the capital with them, and he would wait.
Ruan Ruan expressed her respect for Huo Songhuai's decision.
