When Grandma finished making the noodles, she saw Lin Chuchu playing with Ping An.
"Ping An, let your mother eat first. Would you like to eat with us?"
Grandma asked the two children, one big and one small, "Children should eat small meals frequently, so they can have a little bit too."
"……eat!"
The little guy can't speak in complete sentences yet, he just utters one or two words at a time, but he's using his little head to do it.
He was afraid that his mother and great-grandmother would leave him behind.
Lin Chuchu picked up Ping An and they went to the kitchen together. There were two bowls, one large and one small, on the table.
"Grandma, would you like to eat with us?"
There was a bit too much noodles in the bowl, so she wanted to move some out.
But Grandma shook her head, "We've already eaten lunch, we're not hungry now. You should eat, eat more."
Lin Chuchu could only sit down and start eating heartily.
She loves her grandma's noodles the most; they taste great and the broth is flavorful. Every time she comes back, she likes to ask her grandma to make noodles for her.
Ping An has his own little seat. He sits on the chair without any worries about him rolling off. The little guy holds a pair of chopsticks and struggles to pick up the noodles.
He couldn't pick it up no matter what he did. He seemed a little angry and insisted on picking up the noodles.
Grandma was laughing so hard that she took a pair of chopsticks and fed him bite by bite.
Luckily, his grandmother helped him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to eat for half a day.
Lin Chuchu couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this.
After finishing her meal, Li Chuchu returned to her room to rest; she had been exhausted lately.
Having experienced hijacking, plane crash, survival at sea, and a mysterious island, every day was tense and exciting, with the greatest fear being death.
Now that she has returned safely, she looks exhausted as soon as she relaxes. She needs to rest and recuperate for a few days to fully recover.
She slept soundly without being disturbed, until her parents came home from get off work and the other children had already left school. At that moment, Da Bao and Xiao Bao stared longingly at Lin Chuchu's bedroom door.
However, the sensible children did not disturb her, because Grandma and Great-Grandma said that Mom worked very hard and should rest more.
The moment Lin Chuchu stepped out of the room, the two children pounced on her.
"Mom, you're finally back!"
"I miss you so much, but Grandma won't let us go to see you."
Lin Chuchu hugged the two children and said softly, "Mommy was sleeping just now, but she came out as soon as she woke up."
The two children were easy to coax, and before long the two little ones were pulling Lin Chuchu to play together.
Wang Qiao, Aunt Li, and Wang Xingguo have all returned. Wang Qiao and Mu's father are chopping wood, Aunt Li is busy in the kitchen, and Mu's mother is washing and eating fruit.
Now that the weather is cool, fruit can be stored for longer without needing to be refrigerated.
Mother Mu said to the four of them, "Chuchu, come and eat some melon. These flowers were specially picked by Mom, and they taste very sweet."
Besides watermelons, there are also apples and plums.
They were all perfectly ripe and tasted very sweet.
Lin Chuchu walked over and glanced at the watermelon with some surprise.
"Mom, why are there still watermelons at this time of year?"
After all, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the season for eating watermelons is over.
"These are grown in greenhouses, and they're similar to regular watermelons, just more expensive."
"The plums were mailed to us by your uncles a while ago. They said they could keep them, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to wait for you to come back."
As he spoke, he placed a plum in Lin Chuchu's hand.
"Try these, they're plums from your uncle's place, they're really sweet."
Lin Chuchu nodded, immediately took a bite, and her eyes lit up.
"It's delicious, really delicious."
"Mom, are Uncle and his family coming back this year?"
Mom shook her head. "It seems like he can't come back. Your older brother's company is getting busier and busier."
"By the way, I have something to tell you. Your older brother got married. I heard he found this woman who is good for the child and has a good personality."
Mom was in a good mood, her face beaming with smiles. She was happy that her nephew had someone to take care of him and that he could have someone to chat with when he got home.
"That's great. After all, you're not that old, so finding someone else would be perfect."
Lin Chuchu said with a smile that she didn't care what kind of person her new sister-in-law was, as long as she was good to her brother and the child.
"Yes, I used to keep advising him against it, but I never expected him to have a girlfriend so quietly."
"Mother Mu said with a smile."
"By the way, Mu Chen is working overtime today and it's too late to come back. Did he tell you?"
Lin Chuchu nodded. "I saw the message he sent me. He said he can come back tomorrow."
"You know, his job is too busy, it's difficult for him to take time off, and there might even be danger involved."
"Mother Mu said with a sigh."
Before, I thought it was good for my son to have a proper job, but now I suddenly feel that it would be better to be like her and open a clothing store. As long as someone is in charge, she can just go and check on it occasionally. Moreover, she has free time and doesn't have to stay in the clothing store all the time.
However, she couldn't say this, because she knew that even if she did, Mu Chen would continue to stay at the police station.
Lin Chuchu heard from her mother that a major murder case had recently occurred, and the methods used were extremely cruel.
The higher-ups gave them an order to solve the case within a month.
Therefore, everyone in the Public Security Bureau is very busy, and working overtime is a common occurrence.
Unfortunately, they never found any clues or caught the culprit.
Mother Mu offered an explanation on behalf of her son, mainly to tell her daughter-in-law that her son didn't neglect her; he was just too busy.
Lin Chuchu understood, of course, because her job was the same.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, and soon a large table of dishes was served, said Mr. Mu.
"This fish is fresh that I bought. You should try it."
Everyone unconsciously started eating, and Lin Chuchu's eyes lit up.
"The fish was fresh, well-cooked, and tasted great."
Lin Chuchu couldn't help but praise her.
Mr. Mu said with a smile, "If it's delicious, eat more. Eat the belly part of the fish, there are no fish bones there."
Since there were no fish bones, it was easy to eat, so this good spot was reserved for Lin Chuchu.
This is a treatment that even several children don't receive.
At the dinner table, Lin Chuchu's mother and grandmother kept putting food on her plate, saying, "Eat more, you've gotten so thin from hunger."
"Is it because the food in your cafeteria is bad? Otherwise, I'll have someone deliver food to you every day."
Lin Chuchu quickly shook her head. Although they were all in the same base, not just anyone could enter the research institute base.
"Mom, really, it's not necessary. The food in our cafeteria is pretty good. We can't just go into the research base; it would be too much trouble to get approved."
Lin Chuchu was telling the truth, so no one insisted on it anymore. They just thought about making more delicious food for Lin Chuchu these few days.
