The rest of the Huo family arrived on the evening of the 27th.
Because it was too cold, the Huo brothers, Huo Haocheng and Huo Haoshen, drove to pick them up.
The family was also keeping track of the time, and started cooking when they were almost there, while soup had been simmering in the pot.
They returned around 8 p.m. As soon as they heard the sounds of cars and people talking outside, the little ones who were playing inside immediately ran out, shouting, "Grandpa and Grandma are here! Dad is back from picking people up!"
As soon as Zhao Hongmei got off the bus, she saw her grandson and granddaughter running out and immediately went up to give them a big hug, instantly encircling the three little ones in her arms. "Oh, my dear grandson and granddaughter, did you miss Grandma? Grandma missed you so much!"
"I miss Grandma."
We all miss Grandma.
Hello, Grandma!
The three little ones looked at the person holding them in her arms and thought that this must be the grandma their mother had mentioned before. Moreover, she herself had just said that she was their grandma. Their mother had said that children should not be impolite and should answer when asked a question, so they were sure that answering the question correctly would be the right thing to do.
However, they are still so young. Apart from their parents, great-grandparents, uncles, and other relatives who have always been by their side, they don't seem to have seen this person before.
Unaware of her grandchildren's inner thoughts, Zhao Hongmei was overjoyed to hear that her grandchildren missed her.
"Mom, it's cold outside. Let's go inside. Dinner is ready. Let's eat first, and we'll talk later." Ruan Ruan and Li Huan, who came out behind the children, saw them chatting at the gate. Did they really not feel cold?
"Ruanruan, Huanhuan, oh my, let Mom take a good look at you." Hearing Ruanruan calling her, Zhao Hongmei quickly let go of the three children and walked briskly to them. Then, under the orange-yellow light, she carefully examined the two children.
"Oh dear, you've lost weight! No matter how busy you are with work, you must take care of yourself. It's all Huo Haoshi and Huo Haocheng's fault; they don't know how to take care of anyone. I'll make sure you two get some good nourishment these next few days. By the way, where's Shuyan?"
They had heard about what had happened to Ruan Ruan back in their hometown and were very happy for her. But now that they saw her in person, they realized that Ruan Ruan had really lost a lot of weight, and they started to criticize their two sons.
Following behind her, Huo Haocheng, who was helping her carry her luggage, looked at his father with a helpless expression, the meaning clear: 'Can't you do something about your wife?'
Standing next to him, Huo Haoshen looked at his older brother with a gloating expression.
"Mom, let's go inside and talk. Grandpa and Grandma are waiting!" With that, Ruan Ruan and Li Huan each took one of Zhao Hongmei's arms and pulled her into the house.
"Mom, I haven't lost weight. I just walked a lot recently, and I've gotten a bit muscular." Ruan Ruan explained as she walked. Ever since Zheng Xuyang came back and she had some free time, her mother and grandmother had been making her all sorts of delicious food, and she felt like she had gained a lot of weight.
They all know Zhao Hongmei. If she really starts making nourishing foods for you, then you'll have meat to eat three times a day, every single meal.
Ruan Ruan thought about this kind of life and thought, "Ugh... it's too greasy, I can't stand it."
"Look at your skinny arms and legs, your thighs aren't even as thick as my arms. What's so sturdy about you? You really need to get some exercise."
In response to Ruan Ruan's words, Zhao Hongmei slapped Ruan Ruan's thigh and pinched it to make sure it was still too thin.
Ruan Ruan was stunned by the sudden slap.
Not only her, but Li Huan, who was standing next to her, was so frightened that she stopped her leg from stepping out. She also slapped her mother on the thigh.
The father and sons behind him didn't expect his wife and mother to be so fierce, slapping him right away.
"...Then...then...then...what mother, no need, really no need." This slap left Ruan Ruan speechless, and Zhao Hongmei gently rubbed her skin where she wasn't looking.
In fact, Zhao Hongmei didn't really use much force when she slapped someone. She just wondered about the strength of her hand. Her hands, which were used to doing farm work all year round, could hurt a lot even if the slap seemed light. Moreover, she had a broken palm, so it would hurt even more when she hit someone.
The two elderly people inside the house saw that they hadn't come in yet, so they came out to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, they heard Ruan Ruan say that it wasn't necessary.
"What's wrong? What's not needed anymore?" the old lady asked them.
"Mom, Dad, we're here! How are you? Are you both well?" Upon seeing her mother-in-law, Zhao Hongmei disregarded them and immediately pulled her hand away from her daughter-in-law's, walking forward.
"Alright, alright, your father and I are both fine. But how are you two doing at home? We're leaving now. Has anything happened in the village?"
"No, everyone is fine. When we left, the aunties even asked when you could go back," Zhao Hongmei said, helping the old lady into the house.
At the restaurant, Lu Shuyan and Wang Qun had already served all the dishes.
"I'm glad everyone is well. It's getting late, let's eat first. We can talk about anything else tomorrow."
We usually eat dinner around 6 p.m., but today we knew they were coming, so the whole family waited for them. We were really hungry, so we just chatted casually at the table, focusing mainly on eating.
After eating and washing up, they went back to their rooms to sleep. Zhao Hongmei and the others were really tired. They had gotten up at 3 a.m. to make the journey. The villagers drove them to the city in a tractor. After boarding the train, there were too many people. In order to save money, they bought seated tickets directly. So even though the group of six was sitting together, they didn't dare to sleep at all.
