"Mother!!!"
Mu Huaixi was worried all the way, afraid that Xiao Huihui had forgotten her, but to her surprise, Ying Wuhui recognized her at first sight when they met at the train station. After calling her "Mom", he rushed towards her, swaying from side to side with his little legs.
"Hey! Baby!"
Mu Huaixi was overjoyed and bent down to embrace her eldest son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. But before she could hold him in her arms, someone grabbed her son by the back of his neck and lifted him up, his two legs flapping in the air in vain.
"Wow!!!" Ying Wuhui looked up at his father and suddenly burst into tears.
Ying Mingcheng's face turned black. He even shaved on the train, but who knew that the brat would not give him any face at all.
Grandma Ying couldn't stand others bullying her, so she pretended to hit Ying Mingcheng on the back, but when she saw Xiaoxi's slightly protruding belly, she turned the fake hit into a real slap.
"Ouch! Grandma, what are you doing!" Ying Mingcheng had to coax the baby while paying attention to the people coming and going around, so that no one would bump into his pregnant wife. He was also afraid that his grandmother would hit him too fast and hurt his hands, so he could only dodge slightly, and finally got a good beating.
"You are such a jerk!" Grandma Ying was really angry. She was still scolding Ying Mingcheng in the car. "You are still a battalion commander. In ancient times, you would be a general. You can't even control yourself. In ancient times, you would have been sentenced to the crime of deceiving the emperor. Snap..."
"Alright, alright," Grandpa Ying said, listening to his wife's increasingly outrageous remarks, he could only smile helplessly and cover her mouth. He then explained to his grandson and his wife who were obediently listening to the lecture in the back row, "Your grandma is just too worried about you, Xiaoxi."
"You didn't even tell your family about your pregnancy. Things change so fast on the battlefield. They must be so worried."
Mu Huaixi smiled awkwardly and nodded, then reached out from behind Xiao Huihui and twisted Ying Mingcheng's waist.
"This is my fault, really my fault," Ying Mingcheng said sincerely, taking all the responsibilities on himself, even taking the blame for not telling her family about her pregnancy.
"Xiao Xi wanted to tell you, but I was afraid you would worry. It's my fault."
Seeing that he admitted his mistake sincerely, grandma calmed down a little, but she still looked at him coldly. Even when Aunt Da Chu served the dishes, she deliberately asked to put more vegetables and bitter melon in front of him, under the pretext of helping him cool down.
Mu Huaixi was originally the treasure of the family. Now with the child in her arms, she became the darling of the family, even more favored than Xiao Huihui.
Grandma Ying even asked someone to buy some sour plums, but this time her baby didn't want to eat anything sour and had a very good appetite.
"She is a blessed one," said Grandma Ying, who was worried about her and was very happy.
Who doesn’t like the happiness of having children and grandchildren around them?
Little Huihui didn't understand, but he stood aside with his big eyes blinking. Suddenly, he pointed his finger at Mu Huaixi's abdomen and shouted clearly, "Sister!"
"A little sister?!" Grandma Ying was overjoyed. She hugged her little great-grandson and coaxed him to talk a little more. "Did you see it's a little sister? Do you like little sisters?"
Xiao Huihui frowned slightly, and actually thought for a while before nodding, "Good sister, I won't steal anything."
"Oh, my dear baby," Grandma Ying kissed him and explained to Mu Huaixi and his wife, "There have been more children playing in front of our door recently. With so many kids, there have been more fights. Xiaohui's toys have been snatched away twice."
"This kid doesn't say anything, but he's still holding a grudge in his heart!"
At this time, Xiao Huihui didn't know that his future sister was named Heping, but she was a complete devil.
Mu Huaixi's heart melted when she saw Xiao Huihui's serious look.
She looked at Grandma Ying eagerly, a little too cautiously, "Grandma, can I hug him?"
"Yes, yes," Grandma Ying was stunned and quickly stuffed Little Huihui into her arms. "You kid, you're holding your own son and asking me why?"
Mu Huaixi felt a little guilty. She gently held the man in her arms, not daring to use force or move, for fear that he would become shy and cry.
But Xiao Huihui threw himself directly into her arms, wrapped his two little arms around her neck, and put his little face on her chest, calling her "Mom~" in a sticky voice.
Mu Huaixi's tears suddenly flowed down.
"Hey!" she agreed hoarsely, pressing her face against his furry head and slowly tightening her arms. She had been away for over a year, a year in which she had lived up to her country, her fellow soldiers, and Director Niu's expectations. The ones she felt most sorry for were her grandparents and her eldest son.
She choked up, "Mom thought you wouldn't remember me."
Even if Xiao Huihui didn't recognize her, it was her fault.
"Mom, it smells like medicine," Little Huihui suddenly sniffed her like a puppy, then turned his head and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, it's true!"
"Hahaha, it really smells like medicine, right? Grandma wasn't lying, was she?" Grandma Ying was overjoyed and explained to her, "A while ago, your grandpa always took him for morning exercises, and he smelled of sweat. That day, he was curious and sniffed around everywhere. He said I smelled fragrant, your grandpa smelled stinky, Grandma Da Chu smelled like bread, and Aunt Xiao Luo smelled like watermelon. Finally, he asked what you and his dad smelled like."
"I told him that you always smell like medicine, and he even went to the backyard to smell your herbs!"
Mu Huaixi swallowed her tears. She looked at Xiao Huihui curiously, holding his bouncy little face and sniffing it. "Huihui, it smells like milk."
"No!" Little Gray frowned and raised his little arm seriously, "Manly!"
"Okay, okay, so manly," Mu Huaixi hugged him and kissed him again and again, and no matter how much she kissed him, it was never enough.
Ying Mingcheng strode in, grabbed the little man and tucked him under his arm, "Let's go, man, let's go exercise!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mu Huaixi hurried to stop him. She hadn't spent enough time with Xiao Huihui.
Ying Mingcheng patted her head and said, "This brat has been swimming every day recently. I'll take him there to drain his energy first, and then you can take good care of him."
"Grandma, the soup in the kitchen is ready. You can let Xiaoxi drink a bowl and then let her take a nap. She didn't sleep well on the car ride last night." Ying Mingcheng left after giving his instructions. Xiao Huihui was tossed up and down by him like a toy, which made Mu Huaixi jump with fear.
Little Huihui adapted well and laughed happily.
"Mingcheng is still a man," Ying's grandmother went to the kitchen with a smile after being assigned a task by her grandson.
Aunt Da Chu brought her some soup, and Aunt Xiao Luo steamed a basket of pork buns for her. Mu Huaixi was about to say that she was not very hungry when she was attracted by the hot steam from the buns and unknowingly finished all the buns and soup.
Grandma Ying was surprised when she saw this. "Xiao Xi, you're carrying a baby with a big appetite. Is it really a girl?"
Mu Huaixi shook her head. She didn't take her pulse or try to sense it intentionally. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they were all her treasures.
