Chapter 168 Return to Hometown

It is inconvenient to go out with two children.

Xu Muzhou and Xiao Qingru were each assigned a baby.

I don't hold the child in my arms, I carry him on my back, and only put him on the bed when I'm in the car.

The rest of the time, no matter what they do, they will not let their children leave their side.

After such a trip, not only the adults suffered, but the children also suffered a lot.

After getting off the car, I obediently let my parents carry me on their backs. They didn't have the energy to make a fuss.

Xu Muzhou used to dislike them for being noisy, but now that they have stopped making noise, he feels so pitiful for the kids.

It’s better to be more lively.

"Wife, I will never talk about them again."

Xiao Qingru didn't know what to say to him, "Don't be so full of yourself."

Patting the girl's head, Xu Muzhou said softly, "We are home soon, baby, hold on a little longer."

The little girl lay obediently on her mother's back, babbled once, and then fell silent.

Xu Muzhou felt so heartbroken when he saw her listless look.

But I have to bring them back.

We can only be ruthless and let them suffer a little.

At the first station, Xiao Qingru saw Xiao's mother and the guards, with a familiar jeep parked next to them.

Seeing them from a distance, Xiao's mother came to greet them with a smile.

Although she had just met her mother a few months ago, Xiao Qingru inexplicably wanted to cry.

She hasn't been back for a long, long time.

Xu Muzhou squeezed her shoulders and said, "We'll come back every year from now on."

"Um."

Not wanting her mother to see something strange, Xiao Qingru took a deep breath and suppressed her bitterness.

"Mom, why did you come here in person?"

"You finally came home, and you brought my two little babies with you, so you have to come pick them up in person."

Mrs. Xiao couldn't wait to look at the two children. Seeing that the little guys looked listless, she knew that they were very tired from the journey.

She didn't even want to hold the children anymore, so she quickly said, "Let's go, let's go home first. Let them have a good rest when we get home."

The guard helped load the luggage into the car.

Xiao's mother and Xiao Qingru took the children to sit in the back seat, Xu Muzhou sat as the co-pilot, and the family went to the family compound.

When people heard that Xiao Qingru and his family were coming back to celebrate the New Year, the family compound became very lively.

A distant fragrance smells bad up close; those who liked to say sour things in the past are no longer jealous of Xiao Qingru.

I just think it's a pity that she married so far away and has no work anymore.

Guessing that they were about to come back, people with nothing to do gathered near Xiao's house, wanting to see if Xiao Qingru had changed much.

If it's convenient, we can chat together.

The jeep drove slowly into the family yard. Looking at the familiar scenery, Xiao Qingru felt a sense of pleasure for no reason.

This is where she grew up. Even though she hasn't been back for many years, she doesn't feel strange at all.

There is only endless intimacy in the room.

Xu Muzhou was also filled with emotion. He had realized his dream in the Northwest.

Although this is not his hometown, he still has deep feelings for this place.

The car stopped in front of the Xiao family's door. Xu Muzhou got out first and opened the back door.

At the same time, he took the child from Xiao Qingru's hands.

The baby obediently lay on his father's shoulder and sucked his fingers. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many people.

"That's Qingru's child. She's really pretty."

"Looking at the looks of Qingru and Comrade Xu, their children will surely be good-looking."

"I heard that Comrade Xu's leg had recovered, and I thought that even if he recovered well, he would still be on crutches. I didn't expect that he would recover to this extent."

"They have finally gotten what they deserved after all the hard work they've endured."

Everyone was whispering, and then they saw Xiao's mother get off the car with a baby in her arms.

Suddenly, it was like a cauldron exploded.

They gave birth to twins!

This blessing is really unique.

They were all familiar faces in the same courtyard, and Xiao Qingru greeted everyone with a smile.

"Qingru, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

"About two months."

"That's great. Your house will be lively from now on."

Xiao's mother smiled and invited everyone to her house for a chat.

"We won't be going today. Let the family have a good rest. We'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go home first."

After some greetings, the family finally came in.

The house still looks familiar, even the living room furnishings have not changed.

Xiao Qingru and the others looked after the child while Xu Muzhou moved the luggage upstairs.

The room was clean and tidy, and new toiletries were prepared for them.

There was not a trace of dust in the air. One could imagine that the father-in-law and mother-in-law had put a lot of thought into welcoming them home.

Mother Xiao loved the two little guys very much and said, "You feed them, and then I'll go and coax them to sleep. You and Xiao Xu can eat first."

"You didn't eat either?"

"I'm not hungry."

The two cubs were very tired and no one wanted to comfort them. They fell asleep after drinking milk.

Lying on the soft bed, maybe it was too comfortable, I started snoring a little.

Xiao's mother was very satisfied and couldn't help but give the baby a kiss.

Thinking that they would not wake up for a while, 늀 went to eat with Xiao Qingru and the others.

In the kitchen, there is stewed chicken soup and rolled noodles.

You can eat it just by cooking it.

The weather was too cold, and after two days of long-distance bus ride, everyone felt tired.

I feel so happy drinking the hot soup right now.

"You've worked hard on this journey, eat more."

Mother Xiao kept picking up meat for the couple, wishing she could stuff the whole chicken into their bowls.

"Mom, you eat too and ignore us."

Xiao's mother smiled and nodded, "Eat quickly, and when you're full you can go to sleep."

"When will my dad come back?"

"We don't know him, the time is uncertain, and we don't care about him."

Xiao Qingru hadn't seen her father for three years and missed him very much.

I don’t know if it’s because she always reports good news but not worries, and the same goes for her parents.

I don't know how my father is doing or if he's in good spirits.

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Father Xiao came back in a hurry, "Where's Zuo Zuo? Let me take a look."

"You came back late, and they went to bed."

Mr. Xiao looked disappointed. He came back during his free time and had to go to class in a few minutes.

I didn't expect the kids were actually sleeping.

"Dad, please go upstairs and take a look." Xiao Qingru said.

"Okay, I'll go take a look then."

Xiao's mother kept talking to him, "Walk softly, don't wake them up."

Mr. Xiao really lightened his steps.

It was my first time meeting my grandchildren and I was quite nervous!
