Zhao Qingzhuo, carrying the child and luggage, quickly walked forward and asked with concern.
"I was just thinking you guys were coming back, wasn't I? I can't stand staying inside!"
Zhao's mother looked at her youngest son and the eldest grandson in her arms with a smile on her face, her face beaming with joy.
"Mom, have you been waiting long? We were delayed on the way."
Fang Yuan, carrying her two children, quickly stepped forward to greet Zhao's mother.
Just because her mother-in-law sent so many packages this year, she felt embarrassed to give her the cold shoulder and had to be very polite to her.
Following the sound, Zhao's mother saw Fang Yuan and immediately spotted the two children in her arms:
"Oh dear, you little rascal, why are you carrying two children? Come on, let me help you carry one!"
He rushed forward, eager to hold his grandson.
"Then I'll give you your eldest grandson."
Fang Yuan handed over Da Bao without hesitation, at least freeing up one of her hands.
She'd been holding them for days on end, but now she didn't care about them at all; whoever wanted them could take them.
"Oh my, my dear grandson, he looks just like his father! Come on, come inside! It's the middle of winter, don't let my precious grandchildren get cold!"
Zhao's mother held her chubby grandson in her arms, and the smile on her face never stopped.
The group entered the house, and Zhao's father, unusually, put down his newspaper and stood up.
"You actually came back? I thought you were going to stay there forever!"
He'd been thinking about his grandsons for almost half a year, but that brat just wouldn't come back.
“You know the holidays are short, so I just came back once I had enough time off,” Zhao Qingzhuo replied to his father.
"Dad, Qingzhuo and I have come back to wish you a Happy New Year!" Fang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Yes, it's good to see you back. You've worked hard. You're a hero of the Zhao family." Father Zhao said to Fang Yuan with satisfaction.
Upon seeing his daughter-in-law holding her grandson, Zhao's father had a sudden thought and walked over to Zhao Qingzhuo's side.
"Go put your luggage down quickly, I'll hold the child for you!" He said, taking the child from Zhao Qingzhuo's arms.
Hey! This little guy is chubby and quite heavy; you can tell these two have taken good care of their grandson!
“Okay, then you can hold him. He’s happy to have someone play with him!” Zhao Qingzhuo was delighted to have someone hold the child.
The child woke up as soon as he got off the train and kept wanting to interact with him the whole way, just wanting someone to play with him.
Zhao's mother picked up Da Bao and went forward to compare him with the child in Zhao's father's arms, then asked curiously:
"Let me see, what number is this? Why do these two look so different? Weren't there supposed to be two that look exactly alike?"
"Mom, the one you're holding is Da Bao, Dad is holding Xiao Bao, and I'm Er Bao. Da Bao and Er Bao look the same, but Xiao Bao is different from his brothers."
As Fang Yuan spoke, he brought the second baby to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and showed them the baby for comparison.
Xiao Bao only looks three-tenths like her two older brothers, but she looks five-tenths like her.
"That's true, but all three are well-behaved, they're all Grandma's good grandsons!"
Zhao's mother looked at the three children carefully and said with a smile.
None of the three children were shy around strangers. They didn't cry when their grandparents held them. Their round eyes looked around, and they were especially well-behaved and cute.
"Oh~ Oh~"
The baby in Zhao's father's arms seemed to respond by calling out twice, its big, round eyes looking at them.
This little grandson even interacts with them, which makes Mr. and Mrs. Zhao extremely fond of him.
"Yes, they're both good, but Xiao Bao is the cutest," Father Zhao praised to Xiao Bao, who was talking to him in his arms.
"That's right, Xiao Bao is so smart!" Zhao's mother praised her grandson.
His two grandsons, the eldest and the second, looked exactly like his third son when he was a child. Although he liked them, he didn't find them particularly attractive.
Xiao Bao, on the other hand, looks somewhat like the third son's wife, but his eyebrows and eyes are prettier.
"This baby only weighed three pounds at birth, right? You two have raised them very well."
Looking at his three sturdy, chubby grandsons, Zhao's father thought he had made the right choice in marrying this daughter-in-law.
Look how well he's raising his grandsons!
"Oh dear, I completely forgot! I came to show this to my precious grandson!"
Zhao's mother handed her eldest grandson to Zhao's father and took the younger grandson from his arms.
I carefully touched my grandson's hands and feet, and even went into the room to get a stethoscope to examine him.
I was relieved to know that my grandson was healthy.
Fang Yuan found this action somewhat amusing.
She then remembered that her mother-in-law was an obstetrician-gynecologist!
Seeing Zhao's father sitting on the sofa with his eldest child, Fang Yuan simply put the second child on the sofa as well, and said to Zhao's father:
"Dad, Da Bao and Er Bao like to play together, let them keep you company!"
She claimed it was to build a relationship with her grandfather, but in reality, she was tired of carrying him and wanted to find someone else to take over.
"Alright, I'll take care of the child!" Zhao's father was taken aback at first, then the corners of his mouth turned up.
The third son's wife is quite bold; she's not afraid of her father-in-law at all.
However, he is happy to take care of his grandson.
He reached out and hugged Erbao as well, feeling incredibly happy holding his two chubby grandsons.
Unfortunately, it's too cold outside now, and the child is too young to take out.
Otherwise, this identical grandson would surely make his old friends green with envy.
"Your father and I will take care of the child. You've been traveling for days, go back inside and rest!"
Zhao's mother, holding Xiaobao, looked at Fang Yuan with concern and said.
These three children aren't shy at all; they have no problem taking care of them, and they'd love to take care of them more often.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad. I am indeed a little tired. I'll go upstairs and take a nap. I'll show you both a cooking skill tonight," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
She had been holding these babies for several days, and finally found someone to let them go.
Before Zhao's father could speak, Zhao's mother nodded: "Okay, we've heard that you're a good cook. Your father and I will try your cooking."
She couldn't be happier with this daughter-in-law now.
She had often heard Zhao's father's subordinates on the island talk about the couple's situation in the south, and knew that the daughter-in-law was a good cook.
"Okay, I'll make you a bowl of fish maw soup in a couple of days, Mom. I guarantee you'll like it," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
When she was on the island, she often stewed this for her mother to drink together, and her mother loved it!
However, fish maw needs time to soak, so even if she has soaked it in her storage space, she can't take it out now.
"Fish maw soup? That sounds good. It seems like there was fish maw in the things you sent back, but I've been leaving it untouched."
Zhao's mother was very satisfied, as this daughter-in-law not only gave her three grandsons, but also knew how to cook.
She can even make fish maw soup; I really underestimated her before.
After leaving the three tired children behind, Fang Yuan went upstairs to the second floor and entered Zhao Qingzhuo's room.
