Chapter 392 My cousin is finally back!
Lin Yunchu stood up and walked out of the yard.
When I looked up, I saw Pei Huaiyuan with three children.
The three children were sloppily dressed, with messy hair and dark faces. When they looked into her eyes, each of them had tears in their eyes, some aggrieved, some pitiful, some full of expectation...
When Lin Yunchu saw their situation, he immediately knew that they had suffered a lot during this period.
"I'm glad you're back!"
"You all have come a long way, and you must be a little tired. Wash your face quickly. There are a lot of delicious food at home. Come into the house quickly!"
When Yuanbao saw them coming back, he immediately walked forward and held Pei Yucheng's hand.
Pei Yucheng pulled his hand out calmly.
“…”
Yuanbao is inexplicable.
A sense of unfamiliarity arose spontaneously, making him feel somewhat helpless.
Pei Xiaobin also quickly walked out of his room and looked at them excitedly.
But he found that the three of them just glanced at him and went back to the house.
Especially when looking towards their house, there was something extremely unnatural in their eyes.
After Pei Huaiyuan came back, he told everyone what he saw and heard at the Hu family.
He also made his attitude clear to Pei's mother that after Ankang and the others came back this time, he and Lin Yunchu would officially adopt the three of them.
He had raised the three of them without anyone knowing, and their registered residence was in the Pei family. After Hu Tiezhu came, he asked them to move their registered residence.
They had obtained a certificate in the town at that time, but fortunately, after Hu Tiezhu brought the three of them back, he did this and that, just wanting to take the things on them, and then brought them back to their hometown in the mountains. It happened to be the Chinese New Year, so he did not register their household registration.
This saves the trouble of having to deal with relocating your household registration.
But he still had to go to the police station to officially change Ankang and the others' surnames.
Raise the Hu family's child with Pei's surname.
This is a very serious matter. Most families are unwilling to raise children from other families, as they feel they cannot get to know the child well and it would be a thankless task.
Having the same surname as oneself and recognizing one's ancestor, even if there is no blood relationship, one feels close to them in the heart.
What Pei Huaiyuan wants to say now is to change their names back. The old man cares a lot about his surname, and he is worried that he will not agree.
Unexpectedly, Pei's mother was not unhappy at all.
"They are the children of your comrades, so of course they should have the surname Hu! Who do you think your mother is? Are you so narrow-minded? It is our honor that they can come back and live in our Pei family! No matter what their surnames are, they are all my grandchildren! Who would complain about having too many grandchildren?"
Pei's mother said, the corners of her mouth never curved down.
As reluctant as she was when Ankang and the others were taken away, she is now as excited and thrilled as ever.
She thought it would be difficult for her to see Ankang and the others in this life, but she didn't expect them to come back so soon!
This is really great!
Wang Xuejiao was very happy when she knew they had returned, and she couldn't wait to come out and see them.
But Liu Wanmei stopped him, "You should take good care of yourself during the confinement period. It's not right to leave the room in this cold winter. So although the weather here is a little warm now, it's very windy outside. If you get a headache, don't blame me for not taking good care of you during the confinement period!"
"Aren't they just a few little guys coming back? No matter how good they are, they are no match for the little guy lying on your bed. Besides..."
"Sister-in-law, please stop talking! Ankang and the others came back, and they didn't want the villagers to gossip about them, saying that they just went back, so why are they back again? Others can say this, but you can't!"
Liu Wanmei immediately swallowed back what she was about to say.
She really wanted to say that Pei Ankang and the others were so arrogant before, and they left in such high spirits and had to come back. But look, it hasn’t been long since then, and they have returned in disgrace!
"They had a hard life before, without a father or a mother. In our family, they were a little naughty before, but that was to protect themselves. This time they went back and suffered a lot, and finally came back. If you go and ridicule them, you don't have to take care of me during my confinement!"
Wang Xuejiao said very seriously.
Liu Wanmei felt unhappy, but still said, "You don't ask me to raise a child, why should I worry about it? Can't I just do my job well? Do you think I'm such a busybody?"
Wang Xuejiao's lips curled up slightly, "If that's the case, that's great!"
*
Pei Ankang and the others not only washed their faces, but also poured water to wash themselves clean.
Their mother likes clean and tidy children.
So they also have to make themselves pleasing to the eye.
The three of them walked out of the bathroom, put on new clothes, and stood neatly in front of Lin Yunchu and Pei Huaiyuan.
"Well, in just a few days, you have grown taller!"
Lin Yunchu said to them with a smile.
They are actually thinner, so they appear slightly taller.
"Really?"
Pei Yucheng asked in disbelief.
"Really! If you eat more, you will grow taller."
"Your father has prepared a lot of delicious food on the table. Let me see if your father has the face to see if anyone can complete the clean plate operation."
After Lin Yunchu said this, the three little guys immediately buried their heads and started eating.
After so many days, they finally had a delicious and satisfying meal.
After eating, they looked at Lin Yunchu, feeling excited but also a little unfamiliar.
Especially Pei Haonan and Pei Yucheng.
The two had always believed that they were their biological parents, but after knowing the truth, they suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Although everyone talked it out, there was still a feeling in their hearts that this was not their home.
“It may be difficult for the children to adapt.”
Pei Huaiyuan also discovered this problem.
"Then just get used to it slowly."
"This truth is a bit cruel to Haonan and Yucheng. In a short period of time, they have to digest the fact that they are not their biological children, accept the cruel truth that their parents have passed away, and face the cruel uncle. These are all heavy things for them. We should give them some patience and understand them more. Slowly, they will be able to truly integrate into our big family."
Lin Yunchu comforted Pei Huaiyuan.
"It can only be this way."
"Some children feel burdened. Another reason is that they may feel embarrassed to face the neighbors and fear being gossiped about. So I think we should go to the provincial capital in a few days."
She originally wanted to stay at home to give birth, but after what happened, she felt that she should first take the children away from the local environment and go to the provincial capital, a place where no one knew their past, so that their hearts would be easier to open.
"I ask mother to come and help us take care of the baby when you are about to give birth."
Pei Huaiyuan thought for a moment and said, "If I'm still at home at that time, I'll take care of you during your confinement."
Lin Yunchu smiled, "Can you?"
Pei Huaiyuan was a little unconvinced, "Why can't I do that? When I was in the army, I worked in the kitchen! Not only in the kitchen, but I also led the logistics department. The pigs I raised were bigger than those raised by others."
"What do you mean? You called me a pig!"
Lin Yunchu threw a pillow at him.
Pei Huaiyuan laughed, "You said that, I didn't say that."
"You actually learned to quibble!"
Pei Huaiyuan hugged her and said in a low and emotional voice, "Thank you, my wife. Thank you so much!"
Lin Yunchu's cheeks were flushed. "We are an old couple, but you still have to say thank you! So how are you going to thank me?"
Pei Huaiyuan brushed his hand across her back and said, "I have no money, no fame, but this person looks good, has a good figure, and good physical strength. The only way I can repay you is to pledge my love to you!"
"I didn't expect you to be so shameless!" Lin Yunchu rolled his eyes at her.
Yuanbao knew that Pei Ankang and his friends’ vacation had not yet ended and they had to go to the provincial capital again, so he was particularly reluctant to let them go.
What made him even more melancholy was that the time Pei Haonan and Pei Yucheng spent together was nothing like the time they had before.
These guys used to be very arrogant. In the beginning, they bullied him three to one. Later, they were still tough in their words and helped him three to one.
Now, they neither bully him nor help him, but they always feel awkward standing with him.
He just doesn't know what they are being awkward about?
In the past, they had no blood relationship with him.
Now, they have no blood relationship with him.
The situation is exactly the same, why are they still awkward?
"Pei Yucheng, here's a White Rabbit candy for you! Remember to call me after the gathering. I know you have money."
Yuanbao stuffed a handful of candy into Pei Yucheng's hand.
"Well...you can eat the candy yourself!"
"What should I eat? It's not like I don't have anything to eat! You're my younger cousin, and since you're younger than me, you have to listen to me! Look at you now, you're becoming more and more awkward like a little girl every day! I don't even recognize you anymore!"
Yuanbao just kept attacking him.
"..." Pei Yucheng.
"Pei Haonan, why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? After all, you are my cousin too. You two brothers should not wear the same pair of pants and have the same expression. I can't stand your cautious look. What are you afraid of? You don't eat other people's rice or drink other people's water. You used to be fearless, but now you are afraid that others will laugh at you behind your back?"
"..." Pei Haonan.
"Don't look like you can stuff an egg into your mouth with your mouth open. Am I wrong? If you don't agree, then come and fight!"
Yuanbao raised his chin and said with full of fighting spirit.
"I am convinced, cousin!"
Pei Haonan said seriously, "It's just... I seem to have encountered some troubles."
"What trouble? Your cousin is here, just speak up! No matter what happens, your cousin will cover you up!"
"Thank you so much!" Pei Haonan's eyes flashed with relief.
"Yuanbao, right? I heard you were here, please come over! How can a kid of your age teach others nonsense?"
A middle-aged woman suddenly came up behind them.
The middle-aged woman was probably in her thirties, holding a little boy of five or six years old by the hand.
Yuan Bao was confused when he was called out, and asked, "Aunt, what's going on? When did I teach someone wrongly?"
It was only this year that his academic performance improved. Before that, he always needed others to teach him.
"You don't admit it? Our child is very good at swearing now. He would say something here and there. I asked him who taught him, and he said it was Yuanbao from Yanweikou."
"..." Yuan Bao was even more confused, "Impossible, I haven't even seen this little brother."
"If it wasn't you who taught them, then who did? I just realized that a year ago, you taught the kids so many curse words. Now my child often blurts out, 'Do you live by the sea? Fuck your mother! Go to hell! These are simple words. There are more complicated words that are impossible to curse at all!"
The woman said angrily, "You are still young and you don't learn well. You even teach younger children bad things. That's fine, but now I'm confronting you and you still refuse to admit it!"
Yuanbao looked innocent, he really didn't do such a thing!
"Mom, it doesn't look like him! The one who played with me and taught me was that brother."
The little boy suddenly pointed at Pei Haonan in the distance.
Pei Haonan saw that something was wrong and ran away.
When Yuanbao was at odds with them before, every time he went out, especially to other villages, when people asked him what his name was, he would say his name was Yuanbao.
Under the name of Yuanbao, whenever he met children, he would teach them how to fight and swear as a prank, teaching them that only if they knew how to fight and swear would they not be bullied in the future.
Sometimes, he would teach the children to step in puddles, smear mud on themselves, catch loaches in the fields, and take bird eggs from bird nests in trees.
No one has come to cause trouble for them in the past year.
He thought the matter was over.
Who would have thought that more than a year had passed since this happened and someone would still come to them.
"..." Yuanbao's brain was working so fast that he almost ignored his CPU, and finally understood the whole story.
"You are so bad, Pei Haonan, I really didn't see it! You are such a bad guy, you actually used my name to do bad things! You did it, but I have to bear the consequences! I got scolded! Fortunately, this little brother has eyes and remembers what you look like! Don't run, stop right there! Let me see how I deal with you!"
Yuanbao rushed over angrily.
I've never seen anyone cheat his cousin like this!
Pei Haonan laughed as he ran.
In the end, Yuanbao never caught up with him, but he didn't get any benefits either.
Pei Haonan was beaten up by Pei Huaiyuan, who was particularly strict. He took a bamboo board and hit him ten times.
His palms were red and even slightly swollen from the beating.
Pei Haonan didn't cry. Looking at Pei Huaiyuan who was angry and Lin Yunchu who was worried and wanted to persuade him but never opened his mouth, he smiled slightly.
They finally became like other parents and got angry and took action when they saw their children make mistakes.
They finally treated him as their own child!
Pei Haonan was really beaten up, but Yuan Bao felt a little distressed, "It's my fault that I'm not loyal enough. If I had known you would be beaten so badly, I would have accepted it!"
"But it's been over a year since this happened. Forget it. Let's just put it behind us."
"Yuanbao, I don't think what you said is human language! I was beaten so badly, and you said let it go. You let it go, but how can I let it go?"
"You just roll over on the ground, and you fall over, don't you?"
“…”
"Hahahahahaha, I'm so smart." Yuanbao laughed loudly.
Pei Haonan also laughed.
After some fighting, joking and laughing, everyone returned to their previous relationship of playing and fighting.
That’s great! Yuanbao thought.
His cousins finally came back!
