"Hey! What's wrong?"
All six children held the hands of the two elderly people.
We all miss you all so much.
Zhuang Bingqian and Cao Wenxiu smiled and picked up the youngest two children, Pangpang and Naonao.
"Come on, Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma will take you to get something to eat."
An Qingbai also laughed.
"Grandpa and Grandma weren't hungry; they ate all the way back."
My sister-in-law has something to give you two, as well as some snacks my wife made. I'll go get them.
"Okay, you go ahead, we'll take the children inside first."
An Qingbai carried two boxes over, just as Zhuang Zhimeng came out of the kitchen.
"Honey, let's have a good time here for the last few days."
"Okay, let's see if there are any local specialties we can buy to take back with us."
"OK."
The couple went inside.
Cao Wenxiu brought Nao Nao over.
"Grandma, these are all snacks I made with seafood. They taste good and aren't too strong in flavor, so you can eat them."
Nao Nao is quite heavy now, so put him down if you get tired.
"Okay, it looks pretty good. I'll eat it slowly."
"Our little rascal isn't heavy at all, right?"
Nao Nao nodded repeatedly in her great-grandmother's arms.
"I'm not heavy, my brother is."
Fatty disagreed while nestled in his great-grandfather's arms.
"I'm not heavy either."
Everyone in the family laughed.
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and pinched her son's chubby arm.
"Look at all this fat on you! You're not even heavy!"
Fatty pressed himself directly against his great-grandfather's chest, insisting on doing so with a muffled voice.
"I'm just not heavy."
"Haha, if our Fatty says he's not heavy, then he's not heavy. Yaya, stop calling our Fatty Fatty."
"Grandpa, you don't love me anymore."
"Yes, I have great-grandchildren, so I don't need you grandchildren and granddaughters anymore."
"Grandpa, I'm so sad."
Cao Wenxiu handed an ice cream to her granddaughter.
"He doesn't want it, but I do. Let's not play with him anymore."
"Haha, Grandma, you still love me the most."
"These were all specially bought by your grandfather. He was just saying that, but he loves you the most."
"Hehe, we all know."
Zhuang Zhimeng tore open the wrapper of the ice cream and handed it to her grandfather first.
"Grandpa, you should have one too."
"Okay, Ya Ya gave it to me, so I'll just have one."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and handed another one to her grandmother.
"Don't let those little guys eat yet; they drank a lot of iced drinks on the way back."
Let them eat after their afternoon nap.
Cao Wenxiu became curious.
What do iced drinks look like?
Zhuang Zhimeng gave her lover an ice cream before answering.
"I'll make some more this afternoon so you and Grandpa can have a taste."
"Okay, if it's not too much trouble, I'll make some."
"No trouble at all. Do you have any fruit here?"
"Yes, there are peaches and apples here."
"You can make it as long as you have fruit."
"good."
Zhuang Bingqian secretly fed each of the six children a bite of ice cream.
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai actually saw it, but the couple didn't say anything and pretended not to see it.
Cao Wenxiu opened the box her daughter had given her.
"Your aunt is the same way. She always brings us a bunch of dried seafood, as if she's afraid we won't have anything to eat."
"Just leave it here and eat it. I'll make it whenever you want to eat it."
Oh, and we also brought back several large crabs, still alive. We'll have them for dinner tonight.
Zhuang Bingqian suddenly felt a craving.
"Where's the big crab? Bring it here quickly!"
An Qingbai answered while biting into his ice cream.
"It's in the car, I'll go get it."
"Okay, go get it quickly, or it'll get too hot."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, we put ice next to the crabs."
"You guys bring ice with you when you go out to play?"
"Haha, yes, we brought everything we need."
"You guys are really something."
"Hehe, that's right. If you want to eat roasted lamb, we also brought the seasonings."
“That would be great. We should definitely organize this before we leave, and I’ll also invite some of my old comrades-in-arms to come over.”
"Sure, more people means more fun."
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll make the arrangements."
"Okay."
An Qingbai brought over the styrofoam box that contained the crabs.
"Grandpa, we caught these when we were beachcombing. We kept the big ones."
Zhuang Bingqian took a look.
Wow! So many?
"Yes, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat."
I learned how to make spicy crab from my uncle-in-law, and I'll make it tonight.
Make something lightly flavored for Grandma, Junjun, and the kids; we'll eat something with stronger flavors.
"Okay, I'll leave it to Xiao Bai."
Cao Wenxiu also looked into the box.
Are they still alive?
Zhuang Zhimeng picked up a crab.
The crab immediately started moving.
"Look how energetic it is."
"It's true, it's interesting that they can still move after so long."
"These were all found by the children, and we went to arrest them. The children helped a lot."
"They're quite impressive."
"Yes, they are all very smart. They know it once you tell them not to touch it with their hands."
"Oh, Mom, one of the crabs got away."
Just as Zhuang Zhimeng was about to catch the escaped crab, Maoqiu made its move first.
Then came a howl.
"Ouch."
"Hahaha, the fluffy ball can't be shaken off."
Cao Wenxiu smiled and patted her granddaughter.
"You're still looking? Hurry up and take the crab off Maoqiu!"
