When Mr. Wen heard this, he nodded quickly, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out. "Hey! Hey! Let's talk inside, let's talk inside."
Wen Yuexian and Su Xinzhang helped Old Man Wen into the yard.
A Yan followed closely behind. He quickly poured water for several people and then stood next to Su Xinzhang.
Uncle Wen, Wen Boqiao, patted the arm of a young man next to him and looked at Ah Yan, "This is my son, Wen Junning."
Wen Junning smiled and nodded at A Yan, a hint of kindness flashing in his eyes, "Cousin A Yan."
Ah Yan also quickly responded, "Hello cousin, welcome back."
At this time, Jiubao came close to Wen Yuexian again, his little face full of curiosity and excitement, and whispered, "Do I have to call my cousin uncle?"
After hearing this, Wen Yuexian poked Jiubao on the forehead and smiled, "Yes, you should call him cousin uncle."
Upon hearing this, Jiubao immediately called out to Wen Junning obediently, "Hello, cousin!"
Wen Junning looked at Jiubao and asked, "What grade is Xiao Ruozhen in this year?"
Jiubao: "I'm in the third grade, so when school starts, I'll be in the fourth grade."
“That’s amazing.”
"I'm not that good, my uncle is. He's already in his third year of high school."
Wen Junning looked at Jiubao in surprise. He didn't expect that this little cousin was so smart.
He is four years older than Ayan and is only in his sophomore year. Because his family is going back to China this year, he applied to be an exchange student at Tsinghua University and plans to continue his studies in China.
Jiubao was full of admiration when he talked about Ah Yan, "Uncle skipped a grade, isn't that amazing?"
Wen Junning nodded sincerely and praised, "Very impressive."
Jiubao's eyes lit up after hearing this, as if he had found a kindred spirit. He moved closer to Wen Junning and said excitedly, "Isn't that right? Uncle is amazing. Not only is he a good student, he can also play basketball and football. He can do everything."
The two of them kept praising A Yan, and A Yan's cheeks turned red.
Wen Yuexian and Su Xinzhang shook their heads upon seeing this. Wen Yuexian looked at Wen Boqiao and asked, "When will Junjun come back?"
Wen Boqiao frowned, his expression filled with worry. "Maybe after a while. My father-in-law is in poor health and is in the hospital. I guess I have to wait until he's almost well before I can come over."
Wen Yuexian was surprised when she heard this. "Why so sudden? I went back to Shanghai during the Spring Festival last year. Isn't Uncle Meng in good health?"
Wen Boqiao sighed and continued, "He said he accidentally fell. My father-in-law is old and not as strong as he used to be. Junjun was afraid of any accidents, so he rushed back to Shanghai."
Wen Yuexian nodded slightly after hearing this, her eyes filled with concern. "In that case, you and Xiaoning should go to Shanghai early tomorrow morning. Don't worry about Dad. I'm here and I'll take good care of him."
Wen Boqiao glanced at Wen Yuexian gratefully. "Thank you for your help, little sister. When we return from Shanghai, your sister-in-law and I will treat you to a meal."
Wen Yuexian smiled and waved her hand, "We're all family, why be polite? By the way, Dad, are you guys coming back this time?"
Old Master Wen had a frightened expression on his face and waved his hands. "I'm not going back. I'm not going back. Those places abroad are really not suitable for human beings. I can't get used to the food or the drinks, and I have to worry about my safety all the time. For an old man like me, I'd rather stay in the land of my motherland."
Wen Boqiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Yeah, I left because of the blueprints and some other reasons. Now that the situation in China is so good, why would I go abroad again?"
Wen Yuexian and Su Xinzhang laughed at the same time after hearing this, "That's fine, that's fine."
Su Xinzhang remembered something and looked at Old Man Wen. "By the way, Dad, when you are free, go visit Uncle Duan and Uncle Song. The two old men were talking about you with Mianmian not long ago."
Hearing this, a trace of nostalgia and emotion flashed in Mr. Wen's eyes. "I know, if you hadn't told me, I would have planned to go visit them later. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and I miss them quite a bit."
They chatted for a while, and then Mr. Wen felt a little tired, so Wen Yuexian and Su Xinzhang took them to rest.
…
Everyone in the Wen family went to rest. Ayan and Jiubao felt a little bored, so they went back to the courtyard.
As soon as she stepped into the yard, Grandma Shen looked over with a smile, "Where did you two go for a walk? Why did you take so long to come back?"
Jiubao ran over and took Grandma Shen’s arm, “Grandma Zeng, let’s go find grandma, great-grandfather is back.”
After hearing this, Grandma Su looked at Ah Yan in surprise, "Your grandpa and his family are back?"
Ah Yan smiled and nodded, then sat down on the rattan chair next to Grandma Su. "Yes, we arrived at noon. We chatted for a while, and Grandpa was a little tired, so he went to rest."
Grandpa Su was playing chess. Hearing this, he looked up at Ah Yan and asked, "Are they planning to eat here or over there tonight?"
Ah Yan shook his head. "I don't know, but my uncle and cousin are going back to Shanghai tomorrow."
Grandpa Su's face showed a hint of regret when he heard this. "You're leaving in such a hurry? I was thinking we should treat them to a nice meal!"
Ah Yan knew that his grandfather had misunderstood, and he quickly explained: "No, they will be back. My aunt's family is in the hospital, and my uncle and cousin went there to help. They will be back in a while."
Grandpa Su: "That's fine. Then go call your grandpa and the others and ask them to come here for dinner."
Grandpa Shen also nodded, “Yes, come and eat here, it’s lively for the whole family to eat together.”
A Yan agreed with a smile. He went to the kitchen to take a look at the vegetables and meat. There were not many left. If everyone came here to eat together, there might not be enough vegetables.
A Yan thought about it and turned to go next door, called Qin Huaichuan, and the two of them went to the vegetable market together and bought a lot of fresh vegetables.
Unfortunately, they arrived too late and all the good meat was gone.
When the two of them returned to the gate of the courtyard with the vegetables they bought, they happened to meet Shen Yuandao who had also returned.
Shen Yuandao was also carrying a large bag of things in his hand, which looked heavy.
Ah Yan asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what are you holding?"
Shen Yuandao lifted the bag and showed it to Ah Yan with a smile, "After picking up grandpa and the others this morning, I went to buy some fresh beef and mutton. Shouldn't we have a good meal tonight to celebrate?"
Qin Huaichuan heard this and patted Shen Yuandao's shoulder with a smile, "Fortunately you bought it. When Ah Yan and I went to the vegetable market, it was too late and all the good meat was gone. I only bought three fish."
The three of them went into the house chatting and laughing.
When it was almost five o'clock, Xiao Cui came to cook on time. Seeing this, Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan hurried forward to help.
Grandma Shen and Grandma Su also sat next to them, helping to wash and pick vegetables.
