Gu Changshu and Gu Xiaoxiao also craned their necks to look out, hoping to be the first to see their nephew and niece through the car window.
The Gu family stood outside the courtyard, braving the wind and snow, their faces and hands red from the cold.
Ruan Qiushui, who witnessed this scene from inside the car, was deeply moved, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Wife, Mother, please be careful when you get out of the car, the road is slippery."
Gu Changfeng got out of the car first, walked to the back, and opened the rear door.
Just a few days ago it was light snow, with a thin layer covering the ground, but now the snow is piled up quite high.
If the snow at the entrance hadn't been cleared, Gu Changfeng's feet would have definitely sunk in.
In the back seat, Ruan Qiushui and Xie Xiuying each held a child, and now they bent down and slowly got out of the car.
"Oh my, my granddaughter! Let Grandpa have some fun with her."
Gu Guangrong rushed forward, eager to see his granddaughter.
This is his first granddaughter, how could he not cherish her?
"What are you doing blocking the doorway? Don't you know you should go inside and check? It's already this late in the month! Aren't you worried about the child getting cold standing at the door?"
As soon as she got out of the car, her feet were frozen stiff, and her breath was steaming.
Xie Xiuying tightened Xiao Bao's blanket, kicked Gu Guangrong, and went into the yard.
"Third sister-in-law, knowing you were coming back today, my sister-in-law and I specially lit the kang (heated brick bed) in your room. It's very warm inside now."
As Zhou Lan spoke, she helped Gu Changfeng take things out of the car.
"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."
Ruan Qiushui's face stung from the wind, so she quickly helped Da Bao into the house.
"Third brother, congratulations! You have both a son and a daughter, which is truly enviable."
"This is a happy occasion, so we should celebrate it. Also, my brother and I helped you shovel snow from your house today. We got up early this morning and were busy with that."
Gu Changshan punched Gu Changfeng on the shoulder, filled with envy and jealousy.
"That's right. In my opinion, we should have the third brother treat us to drinks tonight."
Taking advantage of the situation, I can at least sneak in some drinks, right?
"Okay, everyone will have dinner at home tonight, and there will be plenty of alcohol."
Gu Changfeng was in high spirits when he had a happy occasion and was happy to keep him company.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changshu rubbed their frozen hands, glanced at the three of them, and led their two nephews, following behind their third sister-in-law into the house.
It's freezing outside. Why don't you go inside and talk? These three older brothers are all incredibly stupid.
"It's so warm."
As soon as Ruan Qiushui carried Dabao into the house, she felt as if she had come back to life.
Gu Changfeng took Da Bao from him, unwrapped him from the blanket and placed him on the kang (a heated brick bed), letting him move around freely.
"Old woman, please let me see my precious granddaughter."
Gu Guangrong pestered Xie Xiuying, insisting on seeing Xiaobao.
"Here you go, here you go."
It was a bit warm inside, so Xie Xiuying unwrapped Xiaobao and placed her in Gu Guangrong's hands.
"Oh my, my little darling, you are so beautiful."
If it weren't for the fear of his beard scratching his beloved granddaughter, Gu Guangrong would have kissed her long ago.
Holding this little bundle of joy right now, my heart just melts.
"Hold me tight, or I'll kill you if you get jostled or fall."
Xie Xiuying tidied up the blanket, looked at the satisfied old man, and curled her lips in disdain.
She held her granddaughter before her husband, and she wasn't envious at all.
"Don't worry, old woman, my hand is steady."
His wife gave birth to five children; he has held every single one of them.
During the postpartum period, he took care of everything for the baby, from crying and feeding to changing diapers.
In this respect, he is more experienced than his wife.
Gu Guangrong adored Xiao Bao, and no one else dared to compete with him, so they all gathered around Da Bao, showing him great affection.
"Third Aunt, the little brother is so small, when can he play with us?"
Gu Zhengyang and Gu Zhengming sat around the kang (a heated brick bed), watching Da Bao babbling away, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his little hand.
"Once your little brother can walk, he'll be able to play with you all."
I wonder if my two nephews will want to play with them when two little short-legged kids are following them around.
"Third Aunt, when my younger brother and sister grow up, I will give them my toys to play with."
"And I left all the good food for them to eat."
Their third aunt was so good to them, so they should be good to their third aunt's children too.
This is called repaying kindness.
"You two are such good brothers. I'll thank you on behalf of Da Bao and Xiao Bao."
Ruan Qiushui patted her two nephews on the head; they were so sensible.
"Third sister-in-law, have you and third brother named Da Bao and Xiao Bao yet?"
Gu Xiaoxiao teased Da Bao with her finger and asked.
"It's ready."
"Da Bao's full name is Gu Zhenghe, and Xiao Bao's full name is Gu Wantang."
This was a name she and Gu Changfeng had agreed upon beforehand.
"That's a really nice name."
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating her strong agreement.
After playing with the child for a while, the group moved to the living room.
Both the baby and the new mother need rest and should not be disturbed too much.
"Bang bang bang".
Gu Changfeng was taking the diapers his son and daughter had changed outside to wash when there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
"Grandpa, Grandma, why did you come so quickly?"
"It's cold outside, let's go inside and sit down."
Gu Changfeng put the diaper basin aside and opened the courtyard gate.
Seeing that it was Shen Yongjun and Liu Sanmei outside the door, they quickly welcomed them in.
"Okay, okay."
Shen Yongjun helped his wife inside.
The bodyguards, Xiao Li and Zhang Ma, followed behind, carrying large and small bags.
"Oh my, my in-laws are here! It's been so long since we last saw each other."
Hearing the commotion, Xie Xiuying came out and pulled the two of them into the house.
“In-laws, we’re probably staying for quite a while this time, so we’re afraid we’ll be troubling you.”
He and his wife specially brought Zhang Ma along, wanting to take good care of their granddaughter during her postpartum period.
Twins, my dear granddaughter definitely can't handle it all by herself.
"This is my own home, what's the big deal?"
The grandparents from the in-laws were quite polite.
"Changfeng, we brought some things for Ruan Yatou and the child. Please decide where to put them."
Shen Yongjun pointed to the things in Xiao Li and Zhang Ma's hands.
"Please follow me, both of you."
Seeing this, Gu Changfeng led the two to the storage room.
“Grandpa and Grandma, the third son’s wife and children are upstairs. Let me take you to see them.”
Xie Xiuying led the two of them upstairs.
Downstairs, besides the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, there is also a bedroom.
It's just that no one lives there right now, so it's being used as a storage room.
Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng's room was on the right side of the escalator upstairs. That half of the space was their room.
"Okay, my wife and I were just thinking of seeing our lovely granddaughter and the children."
Shen Yongjun and Liu Sanmei brushed the snow off their clothes and followed them into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I felt much warmer.
The two men took off their military overcoats, hung them by the door, went up the steps, and opened the door.
The room was quiet now; the children were all asleep.
Ruan Qiushui heard the door open and turned around to see her grandmother and grandfather, who were peering out from the doorway.
