While eating dumplings, Sheng Yunfang couldn't help but mutter a comment.
"I don't know if my older brother and his family have picked up my sister-in-law, my second brother, and my little niece. My little niece is already a month old, and I haven't even seen what she looks like yet."
Speaking of her two granddaughters, Zhang Shuzhen sighed. The provincial capital is so far away, and the babies are already a month old, but she still hasn't seen them.
"They should have received it. They should be back tomorrow, don't worry."
Before going to Songjianghe, Sheng Xiping had already told his family that he would be back by the next day at the latest after picking up his wife and children.
"Come on, all of you eat more. Look how skinny you all are."
"Eat more dumplings. I didn't put much vegetable in these dumplings today, they're all meat." Zhang Shuzhen pushed the plate towards her two daughters, saying with a pained expression.
"When I hear about what you eat at school, I feel like you can't get enough to eat. It's all vegetables, how can that be enough? You need to eat more meat."
Southern cuisine is light and includes a variety of vegetables. Zhang Shuzhen was heartbroken when she found out what her daughter was eating there.
They eat vegetables all day long, with no meat or anything. Look how thin the child has become!
Just as Zhang Shuzhen said, tonight's dumplings contained very little cabbage and a large proportion of meat, so the filling was basically meat and egg, and it was especially fragrant.
Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei were away from home and couldn't get used to the food there. When they finally got to eat dumplings made by their mother, they didn't care about anything and ate as much as they wanted.
"Don't even mention my sister and the others. I live close to home, but look at what I eat at school. I've lost almost ten pounds this semester."
Sheng Xitai mumbled incoherently as he ate.
There is no winter vacation in high school. After the final exams are finished in early January, there is a two-day break, followed by holiday classes.
I attended classes for ten days during the holiday and returned home yesterday afternoon.
Sheng Xitai did well in the final exams, ranking first in his class and moving up one place to fifth in the grade. His homeroom teacher was overjoyed and even gave him a prize.
"Yes, you should eat more too. Everyone should eat well. In a couple of days, we'll slaughter a pig, and you can eat as much meat as you want."
Zhang Shuzhen pushed another plate over to her youngest son so that he could eat his fill.
Everyone was very satisfied with the dumplings. After dinner, the family listened to the radio for a while, and then went to bed.
On the morning of the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Mingyuan arranged a car to take Sheng Xiping's family back to the forest farm.
The news of the Sheng twins' return spread like wildfire throughout the forest farm in less than half a day.
The Sheng family was quite lively now, with everyone who was even slightly close coming to see the twins.
“Brother Sheng, Sister-in-law Shuzhen, are you at home? Your older brother and I came to visit Xiping’s two girls.”
On the morning of the 25th, after seeing off a group of people, they heard Qin Qiuyan's movements outside.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping hurriedly went out to greet them. When he went out, he was surprised to see his master Liu Changde, his master's wife Qin Qiuyan, and the brothers Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe, each carrying a lot of things and walking over with smiles on their faces.
"Master, Mistress, you've come all this way, why did you bring so much stuff?" Sheng Xiping said as he stepped forward to greet them.
"You think these are for you? Pfft, don't be so vain. These are for Qinglan and the two little girls."
"Your teacher's wife has been longing for this girl her whole life, and now she's finally here! Get out of my way and stop talking nonsense."
Qin Qiuyan didn't care about any of that. She spat with a smile, picked up her things, and went inside.
"You don't know, your teacher's wife was so happy when she heard that your wife had given birth to two daughters that she didn't sleep for several nights."
As soon as she heard the child was back, she rushed over to see her after breakfast this morning; the little girl had completely captivated her.
Liu Changde moved closer to Sheng Xiping and whispered something.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping couldn't help but laugh. "Master, come on, let's go inside and talk."
