Yu Yue looked at her two adorable children, her eyes filled with tenderness and doting. She smiled and gently flicked each of her little ones on the forehead. "Alright, don't worry. Your mom has already discussed it with your uncle. Our hometown will serve as a testing ground."
"You two little ones don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Yangyang jumped up excitedly, her feet leaving the ground high, and cheered, "Does that mean we can go back to our hometown this year?" Her voice was clear and loud, full of joy.
Yu Yue smiled and nodded; she also wanted to go home.
Tangtang also laughed happily, her laughter as clear and melodious as a silver bell.
They really love going back to their hometown in the summer. Although harvesting wheat is a bit hard work, the fun is endless.
You can join Brother Maodan and Sister Maodan to wander through the lush forests and pick sweet and sour wild fruits; if you're lucky, you might even encounter pheasants and have an exciting chase; in the afternoon, you can roll up your trousers and fish in the cool stream, the slippery fish darting between your fingers, bringing bursts of laughter.
As evening fell, Chaochao and Maodan returned home from school. Upon hearing the good news, they gathered around and launched into another round of showering Yu Yuehui with compliments.
Chaochao said with admiration, "Mom, you're amazing! I want to be just as good as you when I grow up!"
Mao Dan also gave a thumbs up, "Auntie, you're simply our role model!"
Yu Yuehui was a little embarrassed by the children's praise, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Upon learning that they could return to their hometown this summer, the children were as excited as little elves about to attend a grand party.
They had been enthusiastically choosing gifts for their grandparents and other relatives for a long time.
Yangyang lay on the table and carefully drew a picture of his family laughing in the wheat field in their hometown. He said he would give the picture to his grandparents. Tangtang took out her beloved piggy bank, planning to use the pocket money inside to buy her grandmother a beautiful dress. Chaochao carefully selected a book about agriculture, thinking that her grandfather would like it. Maodan was not to be outdone and went to the market to buy some local specialties from Beijing, intending to bring them back for everyone to try.
Yu Yuehui and Xie Yan were just as happy as the children, but they had more to consider. After all, they were going back to their hometown and needed to visit their close neighbors.
They sat together on the sofa, carefully making lists and discussing what gifts would be appropriate to bring to each neighbor. A warm atmosphere filled the room, and everyone's face beamed with anticipation and joy at returning to their hometown.
Finally, the holiday that the children had been eagerly anticipating arrived, and Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui, carrying the precious seeds, embarked on their journey home.
The train slowly pulled into the station, its whistle echoing in the air. In a daze, Xie Yan recalled the first time he took this train. At that time, he was sitting alone on the train, and due to motion sickness, he felt that his future was bleak. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
Turning to look at Yu Yuehui, Xie Yan's lips curled up. All of this was because of the person in front of him.
Without Yu Yuehui, Xie Yan wouldn't even dare to imagine his own predicament.
Yu Yue noticed Xie Yan looking at her and thought he was hungry, so she reached into her pocket and took out a bar of chocolates. "Eat this first to tide you over."
Although Xie Yan no longer gets carsick, he still can't eat on the train, so Yu Yuehui specially exchanged a lot of candy and chocolate for Xie Yan this time to replenish his energy.
Xie Yan wasn't hungry at first, but when she saw the chocolate in Yu Yuehui's hand, she suddenly wanted to eat cake. She immersed her consciousness in the space and searched for a while, finally finding the cake she had bought for Yu Yuehui a few days ago on a shelf.
Since it happened to be just the two of them in the private room, Xie Yan took out the cake and said with a smile, "Look, what's this?"
Yu Yuehui was somewhat surprised, "This...this is the cake you bought for me last time?"
Xie Yan nodded, "You've been here for a while now."
Yu Yuehui felt a little embarrassed. There was nothing she could do; she was just too busy at the time. "That's great. This way, none of the little ones will be here, and the two of us can eat."
Xie Yan thought so too. The two smiled at each other and quickly finished the small cake by the window.
Because it was eaten secretly behind the backs of several children, it was incredibly exciting.
Xie Yan had just finished eating and didn't even have time to wipe her mouth when she heard Chao Chao and the others' voices. She quickly cleared away everything on the table, afraid that she would give herself away later. She gave Yu Yue a look and then lay down to pretend to be asleep.
Yu Yuehui hurriedly picked up the book next to her and began to read it in a serious manner.
As soon as they stepped out of the train station, the summer sun shone brightly on them. Yu Yuehui took out the straw hats she had prepared beforehand and put one on each of them.
After the glaring sunlight was blocked, before I could even look outside, I heard Yu Yuehua's voice coming from across the street.
Yu Yuehua is now the head of a county, but he has no airs of an official. He is still upright and doesn't even have the common beer belly.
Haha, maybe it's because beer is scarce on the market now, so he can't get any even if he wants to.
Upon hearing her uncle's voice, Chaochao immediately ran towards it, shouting as she ran, "Uncle, Uncle, I'm here, I'm here!"
Yu Yuehua, who is already quite grown up, actually imitated Chaochao, jumping around and waving, "Chaochao, Chaochao~" Her eagerness showed that she was her own niece, to the point that she didn't even see her own son and sister at first.
Fortunately, Mao Dan is no longer the ignorant little kid he used to be; he has now grown into a tall young man of 1.85 meters.
Thanks to the consistently good food at Xie Yan's home, and the fact that Chaochao, Maodan, and the other children had practiced martial arts since childhood, they were all quite strong.
Sure enough, the young man, carrying a large black bag and holding a suitcase, walked ahead with a smug look on his face, glancing back to see if Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui were following. As for his own father, well, sorry, he didn't notice him at all.
Xie Yan and the others brought a lot of things this time. They originally planned to send them, but Chao Chao is very stingy and is holding back from sending them.
They said the money spent on shipping all this luggage is enough to buy several suitcases, and these suitcases can be taken back to their hometown for their family to use.
Seeing this, Xie Yan simply let her do it herself.
Chaochao went out and bought three suitcases, found a large bag that was not used at home, and personally packed everything up.
As you can see, each of the children had a suitcase and a large backpack, while Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui each pulled a suitcase, so they were quite relaxed.
They strolled leisurely behind, as if they were going on vacation. Xie Yan, in particular, was wearing sunglasses, holding Yu Yuehui's hand in one hand and carrying a suitcase in the other, looking like he was on vacation in Sanya.
This contrasts sharply with the children ahead of them who were carrying large and small bags, clearly indicating they were going home for the holidays.
