Sun Aimin held his son in his arms and asked as he walked into the house, "Are you happy at Grandpa's house these days?"
Sun Mian nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah, happy."
Sun Aimin could tell the child was genuinely happy. Moreover, in just a few days, the child had gained weight and his face had become rosy, which showed that the family had prepared a lot of delicious food for him.
He said to his son, "Just be happy! Did Dad lie to you? Are all our family members as good as Dad?"
Sun Mian blinked his bright eyes and said, "Well, everyone in our family is nice, they treat me well, and they all cook delicious food. The other day, my eldest brother showed me how to cut tofu into strips, it was amazing.
He said he would teach me, but he went out to work with his elder and second uncles these past two days!"
Sun Aimin smiled and said, "You want to learn knife skills? You can't rush it. You have to take your time. Besides, not only your eldest brother knows how to do it, but almost everyone in the Sun family knows how to do it!"
"Dad, can you also cut tofu into shreds?" Sun Mian asked curiously.
Sun Aimin nodded and replied, "Of course. Dad can not only shred tofu, but also shred potatoes and carrots, and he can also carve patterns with food. How about Dad show you his skills after lunch?"
Sun Mian clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Great, great!"
At this point, the father and son no longer felt any sense of strangeness between them, as if they had never been apart.
Sun Aihua picked some fresh vegetables from the backyard garden. Seeing the father and son cuddling together, she said with a smile, "This time I finally saw what blood is thicker than water!"
Sun Aimin chuckled and saw the vegetables in his sister's basket. He asked, "Sister, is there anything else you want to do? How about I do it?"
Sun Aihua waved her hand and said, "You must be tired after sitting in the car for half a day. Don't help me. Stay with the children for a while. Dinner will be served soon!"
Sun Aihua has been cooking these days, so Old Mrs. Sun has a rare chance to relax. When she has time, she goes out to play cards (long cards) with some old ladies nearby, and only goes back when it is almost time for dinner.
Sun Yao, the second daughter of my second brother Sun Aijun, has just been promoted to the third grade of junior high school. The first and second grades have not started school yet, but the third grade students have already started classes.
These two days, her parents went out to work, so she had lunch and dinner at her grandmother's house.
When she got home from school, she saw Sun Aimin playing with her beloved brother and shouted happily, "Uncle, you're back?"
Sun Aimin smiled and replied, "Well, is school over? It's the third year of junior high school now. How are you feeling? Is studying stressful?"
When it comes to studying, Sun Yao's face falls and she sighs, "Uncle, can we talk about something else? It's only been a few days since school started, and I feel like I'm already studying like a fool!"
Old Mrs. Sun, who had just returned from a visit, happened to hear her granddaughter complaining about her studies and teased her, "You clever little thing, it would be better if you were a little bit stupid. You have eight hundred tricks up your sleeve, and I don't know which in-laws would dare to marry you in the future..."
Sun Yao retorted unconvincedly, "Hey, grandma, I was talking about studying, what have you been talking about? Besides, who says girls have to get married when they grow up? Don't worry, even if I stay an old maid all my life, I can still live better than anyone else!"
Sun Aimin supported Sun Yao from the side: "Mom, Yaoyao is right. It doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl. You have to have real abilities to stand firm in society. You don't have to rely on others.
Don’t tell your child that it’s hard to find a husband. Yaoyao is still young, and there’s still a lot of time left. Who knows, maybe it will become popular for girls not to get married in the future...”
Old Mrs. Sun was still old-fashioned and naturally wouldn't accept the idea of a woman never getting married, but she also didn't want to argue with her children and grandchildren about it. The little brat was still young, and as he grew older and wiser, he naturally wanted to start a family.
It was already noon, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, okay, I, an old lady, won't argue with you young people. Don't stay in the yard anymore. Check if the meal is ready. It's time to eat. After dinner, Yaoyao can go to school quickly!"
Sun Aihua was quick and agile. In a short while, she had prepared several home-cooked stir-fries with seasonal vegetables from the garden, and also made a refreshing cold dish with the dried tofu and fresh cucumbers she had bought in the morning.
After returning home and leaving the children with his youngest son, Grandpa Sun prepared a yam and lotus soup in the kitchen. This dish nourishes the spleen and stomach, suitable for all ages. It's especially suitable for the newly returned grandson, as a healthy spleen and stomach can help maintain a good appetite and better absorption of nutrients.
Although the grandson has gained weight in the past few days, the old couple think that the child is still too thin and too short. So the old man has been changing his cooking methods these days and carefully prepares a delicious dish for his grandson at every meal.
The thought of their child being taken away again in the next two days made the old couple feel very reluctant. If it weren't for the fact that someone needed to take care of the family, they would have been eager to go to Mafang City with Sun Aimin to take care of their grandson's food, clothing, and daily life.
At the dinner table, the whole family began to inquire about Yuan Jie and Xiao Erbao's situation, discussing when the family members would go to visit Yuan Jie and the child, how to hold the full moon banquet, and other issues.
Sun Aimin said, "My sister-in-law and my parents-in-law are helping to take care of the baby now, so you don't have to worry. We can go over a day or two after the baby is one month old. We don't plan a big celebration, just cook two tables of food at home and have a get-together for our two families."
Grandpa Sun asked, "How are your parents-in-law doing recently? Old Yuan and I haven't seen each other for a while."
Sun Aimin nodded and replied, "Well, they are all in good health. It's just that Xiaohao has been missing for the past two days, so they may still be a little uncomfortable for a while. After all, Xiaohao was raised by the two of them, so they have a deeper relationship with him.
But don't worry about it, it will be fine in a few days. They are not unreasonable people and know what to do! "
The old couple in the hometown couldn't help but sigh. The old lady said: "That's right, even if you raise a cat or a dog, you will have feelings for it after a few years, let alone a child?
That child has a good mouth and is good at coaxing people. Whenever your parents-in-law mention him, they always say those coaxing witty words.
If this were a biological grandson, anyone would be fooled. But with this layer of relationship between them, he is the child of an enemy family, and it is a bit disgusting no matter how you think about it. "
Sun Xiaohao rarely returned to Sun Aimin's hometown and had few opportunities to interact with the Sun family. He also unconsciously revealed various dislikes for the countryside, which led to the Sun family not actually having deep feelings for him, so they were able to let it go quickly.
But the situation was different for the old couple of the Yuan family who had taken good care of Sun Xiaohao for several years. Even if they knew about the evil things that Sun Xiaohao's parents had done, would they immediately vent their anger on the child they had taken care of since childhood? This was not something they could do immediately.
