Seeing that her daughter wasn't overwhelmed by her feelings, Meng Suqin was relieved. Once home, she didn't disturb her further and told Meng Fuyan to dry her hair and rest.
Meng Fuyan had been on the road for a while and was exhausted. She fell asleep quickly, then got up, ate something, and slept until dawn. She finally recovered.
When Meng Fuyan got up, the sunlight outside the window was already quite bright. She stretched in front of the French windows, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
The downstairs area is quite empty. Mom and Dad have gone to work, Yunji has gone to school, and the two little ones have been taken out to play by the nanny. With Lu Guozhong's current status, his family is provided with a servant and a nanny, so they basically don't have to do housework themselves.
Meng Fuyan went to the kitchen to take a look. They had left food for her: white rice porridge, pickled vegetables, and meat buns.
After having breakfast, she had nothing else to do, so she came back to check on her home.
When she moved in, the place was still very empty. Although it was large and fully furnished, it just felt empty and lacked human presence.
Later, as more people joined the family, it gradually became more lively, but it still didn't feel like a home.
Now, more than four years later, my parents have gotten married and moved here permanently. They also had twins, and the house has completely changed.
The most obvious thing is that this house is visibly messy!
Those two little ones seem to have plenty of energy!
Ha ha!
Besides the dowry my mother brought when she got married, we also bought some new furniture for the house, including some that had been stored in the storeroom. Many of these items were used to store things for the twins.
The two boys are energetic, pampered at home, and their parents are well-off, so you can imagine how wealthy these two little ones are.
The house was filled with clothes, shoes, toys, and all sorts of food and household items. The first floor was no longer as spacious as it used to be; it was packed full.
Part of the reason is probably that her mother is too busy and doesn't have time to take care of the family.
In any household, regardless of wealth, if the woman of the house doesn't have time to manage the household, it's usually not very organized.
Her dad finally got to live a life with the warmth and humanity of everyday life!
Ha ha ha ha!
Meng Fuyan ignored it and went upstairs to tidy up her room first.
She brought back a lot of luggage this time, since she won't be able to go abroad anymore. It will be several years before China opens up to the outside world, and supplies will still be relatively scarce. She brought more so that she would have a reason to take it out later.
She took out all the gifts for everyone, not just relatives, but also friends in Changning City; she hadn't forgotten them either, and sorted them out to mail them.
She took out the food from her own relatives and put it aside. Now that she's back, her brothers in Kyoto will definitely come back for dinner, so she can give it to them then.
As for the family members, we'll give them the gifts when they return.
Then came my own things: clothes, shoes, jewelry, skincare products, books, and so on. I brought a lot of them, four large suitcases in total, like I was moving house.
These are just the ones that are visible; many more are kept in the space and haven't been taken out yet.
However, if you don't carry many items on the surface, it will be difficult to explain if you take more later, so you'll have to get a few more boxes.
I took out more than 30 dresses, more than 20 suits, and more than 10 pairs of shoes and put them on the balcony to air them out. Although they were all clean, they had been with me for so long and had been kept in my suitcase, so I had to take them out to see the light.
Put your skincare products on the dressing table, and then take out your underwear to wash.
I opened the wardrobe and found that in addition to the clothes she had before she left, there were quite a few new clothes. They must have been bought for her by her mother while she was away for the past few years. Luckily, her mother had added a wardrobe to her room before she came back, so there is enough room now.
Mom is so sweet!
There was running water in the yard. After washing her clothes, Meng Fuyan took them to her balcony to dry, and then went out to look for the twins.
This compound houses quite a few people. Besides the residences of high-ranking military officers, there are also many ordinary family buildings—several in total. You can hear the sounds from a distance, so there must be quite a few people inside.
I encountered many teenagers on the road, who were not yet of school age and were playing wildly.
Seeing Meng Fuyan, such a beautiful, fair-skinned, fairy-like older sister, all the little ones turned their eyes towards her.
Children can be very naive. If they want to test their looks, sometimes all they need to do is see if the child likes them.
A little girl with two braids looked at Meng Fuyan with bright eyes and said, "Sister, where are you going? You're so pretty."
Meng Fuyan was delighted to hear this; who doesn't like being complimented on their beauty?
Especially since the other person is a child, it's definitely the truth.
"My sister is looking for someone. Have any of you seen Dongdong and Dundun?"
These are the nicknames of the twins.
The little girl immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, they're playing under the big tree in the square over there!"
Meng Fuyan knew which direction the square was in, so she handed the little girl a piece of candy and headed towards the square.
There are many people in the residential area, so there are naturally many children. These days, no one has the concept of contraception. People just give birth as soon as they get pregnant, believing that having many children brings many blessings. So almost every family has several children.
With so many children gathered together, apart from those going to school, the rest naturally play around. The square there is big enough that sometimes people go there to train. The children all like to go there, either to play by themselves or to watch the older boys train.
As soon as Meng Fuyan arrived there, she saw a group of children fighting. Among them, the one fighting the fiercest was her own lively and adorable younger brother.
A group of children were around, some trying to break up the fight, others clapping and cheering.
Three black lines slid down Meng Fuyan's forehead. This brat, no wonder Yun Ji said they were two little devils.
Meng Fuyan went over and pulled Dundun, who was riding on a little boy, up.
"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to hit someone?"
Dundun was playing with great enthusiasm when someone pulled him up. When he turned around, he saw his fairy-like older sister.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was his older sister who had just returned yesterday. His chubby little face turned bright red with excitement. "Sister, big sister, hit him! He's bad!"
The little guy pointed his chubby little finger at the boy across from him who had just gotten up and started to complain.
"He stole my older brother's chocolate, hit him!"
The little boy opposite him was even redder than Dun Dun because he had lost the fight; he was probably angry.
"Pah, so what if I took it? It's such a bitter thing, it doesn't taste good at all."
This child looks a bit bigger than Dundun, but not as fat as Dundun, which is probably why he can't beat Dundun.
Dundun was only three years old, but children in this era did not eat well and their nutrition could not keep up with their growth rate, so they were much smaller than children in later generations.
Dundun is different. The Lu family has no burdens. Her parents both earn high salaries, and she left behind a lot of nutritional supplements before going abroad specifically for her mother to supplement her nutrition during childbirth.
These two little ones are taller and stronger than other people's children.
