Duoduo looked at Fubao with envy, then glanced at Xinan. Xinan picked up a bowl and spoon with heartache, preparing to feed Duoduo porridge. The little guy hadn't eaten lunch and must be starving.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaoling snatched the bowl from Southwest's hand and said, "Don't give him any, let's see if he still has the strength to howl."
The veins on Southwest's face began to throb. Yan Xiaonan glanced disapprovingly at Tang Xiaoling, seriously doubting whether she had picked up the child.
With quick reflexes, Tang's mother picked up Duo Duo and said, "Come here, Duo Duo, Grandma will feed you."
Duoduo glanced at Tang Xiaoling and then began to eat obediently. Yan Xiaonan looked at the child and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She saw hatred in Duoduo's eyes. How could such a young child have such a look?
Southwest also saw this, and he made a decision: after the New Year, he would keep Duoduo by his side. No matter how hard or tiring it was for him, he couldn't let this child be ruined by Tang Xiaoling. As for Wujinban, he was already sensible. Anyway, it was only a year, and he believed that Wujinban would understand.
The train finally arrived at the station. Southwest carried Duoduo, Yan Xiaonan supported Wujinban, and Xuemei carried Fubao. The three of them got off the train first. North South and Southeast opened the windows and began unloading luggage from the train. Yan Xiaoqiang and Yan Aidang were already waiting outside the train to help with the luggage.
This time, they had quite a lot of luggage. After all, Southeast and Xuemei were going to live in the capital, so they had to bring all their usual things. Fu Bao also had quite a few things.
“Fu Bao, Fu Bao, do you still remember me? I am your Six-Jin Brother.”
Liu Jin rushed up and affectionately ran to Xue Mei, saying, "Mommy, I miss you so much, I miss Daddy, and my little Fu Bao sister."
Xuemei's eyes instantly reddened. Liujin had grown taller and stronger, and his brand-new cotton-padded coat was very thick. When she looked up and saw Cuihua, she quickly hugged Fubao and pulled Liujin over to her: "Mom, thank you so much for raising Liujin so well. How can I ever repay you?"
Cuihua was talking to the adorable Wujinban when she heard the voice, looked up, and said with a smile, "You silly child, Liujin is my grandson. Since he's here, of course I have to take good care of him. This is Fubao, right? Oh, can Grandma hold him?"
Looking at Cuihua, Fu Bao recalled the photos her mother often showed her: this was her grandmother, this was her grandfather, this was her great-grandmother, and this was her aunt. Fu Bao remembered them all very well.
"Grandma, hug me."
Fu Bao's soft, sweet voice melted Cui Hua's heart. She took Fu Bao and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "This child is so well raised, just like Nan Nan when she was little."
Xuemei wanted to hear those words the most. Her red eyes returned to normal. Xinan walked up to Duoduo and said, "Duoduo, this is Grandma. Call her Grandma."
Duo Duo's first reaction was to turn around and hug Southwest's neck, but he suddenly remembered the scene on the train, so he turned his head back halfway and timidly called out "Nai" (Grandma).
Cuihua frowned, handed Fubao to Xuemei, and then reached out to Duoduo: "Good child, why are you so good? Come here, let Grandma hold you, Grandma's baby."
Duo Duo's eyes lit up, and she threw herself into Cui Hua's arms. Cui Hua hugged Duo Duo tightly, knowing that Tang Xiaoling didn't like the child. Looking at the child's cautious little eyes, she felt so sorry for her.
Cuihua rolled her eyes at Tang Xiaoling, unable to stand people who didn't like her child. Tang Xiaoling instantly understood her mother-in-law's look, and felt wronged. Her dislike for Duoduo deepened.
"Hello, mother-in-law."
Tang's mother hurried over to Cuihua's side, and Cuihua immediately smiled broadly: "Oh, my dear mother-in-law, hello, hello! Come on, let's go to our house. I've prepared lots of delicious food. I'll make sure you have a good meal today."
"That's great, let's go, let's go." Tang's mother took Cuihua's arm and put Duoduo down. The two of them each held one of Duoduo's hands and slowly started walking.
Yan Xiaonan and Xuemei exchanged a smile, and followed behind with Fubao, Wujinban, and Liujin. As for the luggage, the men would take care of it.
The courtyard became lively again. Mrs. Tang was a little surprised that she didn't see her husband. Ye Chen'er quickly explained that the factory's orders had surged recently, and Uncle Tang was so busy that he didn't even want to eat.
Fu Bao and Duo Duo were overjoyed to see the deer. The two of them talked to the deer and became quite familiar with it. Xue Mei looked at the deer and seemed to see Zhong Nan in it. Her affection for it welled up spontaneously. Animals are the most sensitive creatures. The deer rubbed against Xue Mei and its wet eyes clearly showed its fondness.
He patted the little deer's head and told Fu Bao to play with it. He then told Grandma Yan that he would go help his mother cook first, and that he could pack his luggage later. Grandma Yan was happy to see so many grandchildren, granddaughters-in-law, and children. She nodded repeatedly and chatted with Tang's mother.
Tang Xiaoling also rushed to Southwest's room to see if there was anything there. After a careful search, she finally felt relieved.
When Grandma Yan saw this, she was a little displeased. She said, "Why don't you go to the kitchen to help your mother-in-law cook? Why are you keeping an eye on Southwest's little plot of land? Besides, Southwest lives here with me. What do you take this place for?"
Tang's mother was so angry she wanted to bite off a piece of her daughter's flesh. Now she believed her husband's words: this daughter had been spoiled rotten. She never knew that having a brain meant you should use it. Even a pig was smarter than her.
“Grandma, please don’t be angry. This girl is really not presentable. Fortunately, Southwest is magnanimous. Otherwise, she would have been sent home long ago if she had met someone else. Fortunately, there are not many days left before the New Year. I will take her away after the New Year. Please bear with me.”
Grandma Yan patted Tang's mother's hand and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright. This is Nan Nan's home. I live with Nan Nan too. Nan Nan will have his own house in the future. As long as the two of them live happily together, that's all that matters."
Tang's mother's heart skipped a beat. This Grandma Yan meant that she wouldn't interfere in Southwest's affairs. What would happen to Xiaoling if Southwest wanted to divorce Xiaoling and the adults in the Yan family didn't care?
Just as she was getting anxious, Tang Jianjun rode over on his bicycle. When he saw his wife, he smiled and took out a pair of gloves from his pocket: "Here, Nannan gave them to me. You get one pair, and I get one pair. They're exactly the same. The little girl said they were love gloves, but I can't remember. You can ask Nannan."
When Tang's mother took a look, she saw that the gloves were exactly the same as the ones Tang Jianjun was wearing. She was touched and thought, "Why isn't Nan Nan my daughter? It would be so nice to switch them."
Tang Jianjun was a very shrewd man. Seeing his wife's expression, he knew that Tang Xiaoling must have upset her again. But it wasn't convenient to ask her now, so he could only be patient and talk about it when they got home that night.
