Chapter 165 We Go Home
Huo Zhenhua was about to say, "I'm still her boyfriend."
Then Su Meng coughed lightly, then wisely shut her mouth and lowered her eyes to hide her loneliness.
The young girl still refused to make their relationship public.
Was it because I didn't do well enough, or is she still angry?
Thinking back on my hasty departure, I realized I hadn't thought things through properly. Plus, with Liu Cuihua causing trouble and everyone gossiping, she must have suffered some injustice.
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of sadness and dug his fingers into his palm.
If it weren't for the fact that it was in front of so many people, he would have loved to slap himself twice.
He never took Nie Ronghua and his ilk seriously, after all, that defeated opponent had long been eliminated.
"Xiaomeng, shall we go home?"
Regardless, he had to swallow his pride and go to the Su family.
Even if it means getting hit by Grandma's broom, I'll still go with her.
Su Meng nodded noncommittally.
Since his family had done a good job raising Tianyou, it was only natural for him to send Tianyou home.
But what he said sounded...
Su Meng quickly glanced at the crowd of onlookers around her, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
When they returned, Liu Wenxiu packed her things and told Huo Zhenhua that those bags were for the Su family.
She...couldn't refuse such a kind invitation!
"Let's go!" She glanced at the man, pulled Tianyou along, and led the way onto the dock.
The jeep drove away, leaving behind a bunch of gossipy military wives scratching their heads in bewilderment.
"What do you think is going on between them? It seems like something's going on between them."
Commander Huo clearly favored Comrade Su, but Comrade Su seemed angry. Had they fallen out, or had they not?
"You talk too much. They were originally friends, how could they fall out? Just wait! It won't be long before we hear good news."
"I hope so! I also hope that Comrade Su will move into the family compound, but I don't want a shrew or a rogue."
......
Huo Zhenhua had already called Wang Qinglin in Zhou City, asking him to inform the Su family that Ada and Su Meng would be bringing Tianyou back with them.
Halfway there, the jeep encountered a grandmother who was limping and leading Xiaoqi by the hand.
Grandma's eyes were brimming with smiles, and her slightly disheveled silver hair, like the evening glow, softly enveloped her.
“You’re back! It’s good that you’re back.” Her breath was uneven, and her laughter trembled. “This must be Tianyou, right? Thank God, it really is God who’s blessed my grandson, allowing him to grow up smoothly.”
Zhenhua, thank you so much! Thank you! ......"
The old man's eyes welled up with tears, and his lips trembled as he kept muttering excitedly.
Huo Zhenhua and Su Meng opened the car door at the same time and helped her up from both sides.
Tianyou also got out of the car, huddled next to Su Meng, and whispered, "Grandma."
She secretly glanced at the old woman in front of her, and couldn't help but compare her to Liu Cuihua in her mind.
Seeing her tears rolling down her cheeks, he tremblingly raised his hand, with several bent fingers, and gently touched the top of his head.
My heartstrings trembled, my pupils contracted slightly, and in my pupils I saw my grandmother's careful and loving gaze, and her expression of mixed joy and sorrow.
It felt very unfamiliar and shocking.
I wanted to dodge, but I held back and didn't.
The warmth of her palm, along with her excited trembling, spread from the top of his head to his limbs, soothing his stiff nerves.
Just like wild grass that has survived the harsh winter finally seeing the long-awaited sunshine, warm and intimate.
He couldn't help but rub against her, and involuntarily grinned, "Grandma!"
Her voice was clear and crisp, with a rising tone at the end, carrying a hint of coquetry, and the last syllable even had a sob-like quality.
Grandma could no longer hold back and hugged the person tightly, bursting into tears.
Su Meng's eyes also reddened, tears fell silently, and her shoulders trembled.
Huo Zhenhua felt both heartbroken and relieved.
Fortunately, he adopted Tianyou.
Tianyou, who was adopted by the Su family by accident.
He raised his hand and silently put his arm around Su Meng's shoulder.
Su Meng looked up at him with tear-filled eyes, stunned, and choked out, "Thank you!"
Ah Da sighed softly, "Mother, let's go back first!"
The old man seemed not to hear, and hugged Tianyou, crying uncontrollably.
Ah Da crouched down, preparing to carry the old man on his back.
Seeing this, Huo Zhenhua quickly said, "Uncle, let me do it!"
He gently patted Su Meng's back, as if comforting a child. The warm breath traveled from his palm into Su Meng's spine, instantly reaching the depths of her sorrowful heart.
She lifted her eyelids to look at the man carrying her grandmother steadily forward, and suddenly remembered the scene of him carrying her that night.
My heartstrings twitched, but more than anything, I felt at peace.
She thought that she was probably moved by his calm demeanor, broad shoulders, and sincere heart.
Think about it, spending your life with someone who loves you is a wonderful thing.
At that moment, her resolve to become a snow lotus wavered.
I want to have a good life with him.
As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, they saw Su Mianzhi and Xie Mian running back one after the other.
Su Mianzhi didn't have time to wipe his sweat. He stared at Tianyou, his lips trembling.
He raised his hand, which was hanging by his side, wanting to get closer, but he trembled and couldn't speak.
Su Meng pulled Tianyou aside and introduced, "This is our father, Su Mianzhi. The one in military uniform behind him is our uncle, Xie Mian. Tianyou, are you happy to see your family?"
Tianyou's face tightened, but he nodded, "Happy!"
Then she obediently called out, "Dad! Uncle! I'm Tianyou."
This time, he was much calmer.
She took the initiative to walk over and hold Su Mianzhi's hand, tilting her head up to ask, "Dad, why are you so thin? Are you too tired?"
I can help you in the future too.
Everyone: "......"
Grandma, who had just stopped crying, burst into tears again.
Su Mianzhi sighed heavily, his eyes reddening as he pulled the person into his arms, choking out, "Your task is to study hard!"
Tianyou, we've finally found you.
In an instant, sadness filled the air.
It was heavy.
It felt oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Su Mengcai wiped away her tears and saw Su Mianzhi release Tianyou.
He faced Huo Zhenhua and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Huo Zhenhua quickly bowed and helped him up, "Uncle, don't do this! This is our destiny, and it's what I should do."
Su Mianzhi let out a heavy sigh of relief and looked at Huo Zhenhua gratefully, "There's no such thing as 'should'."
I must personally visit your parents at the end of the year to thank them.”
Huo Zhenhua readily agreed and, together with Su Meng, led everyone into the courtyard.
The new house at home hasn't been built yet.
After dinner, Su Meng returned to her dormitory at the research institute.
Xie Mian also returned to his dormitory in the military region.
With Tianyou's return, the family's resentment towards Huo Zhenhua vanished.
Su Meng opened the door with practiced ease, tidied up the room that hadn't been occupied for several days, and was just about to go into her spatial dimension when she heard a knock on the window.
A tall figure was reflected in the wooden diamond-patterned window.
What brings you here?
She peeked out and lowered her voice.
Huo Zhenhua clenched his fist and rested it on his chin, leaning closer to say, "Open the door! I want to talk to you."
Su Meng rolled her eyes at him and pointed upstairs, "Do you want to be taken away for ideological education? It's late, go back!"
After saying that, he tried to close the window.
But a large hand quickly stopped the downward-pressing window.
He stared intently at Su Meng and said in a serious tone, "Then I won't leave!"
His hand covered Su Meng's fair hand, his slender fingers pressed against the window, the back of his hand slightly arched, and his knuckles white.
His jawline was taut, his lips pressed into a straight line, and he remained locked in a stalemate with Su Meng.
Su Meng laughed in exasperation, "Commander Huo, you're cheating!"
Huo Zhenhua raised an eyebrow. "So what?"
