Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Ye's mother knew that what she had brought was very important, and quickly nodded in agreement.
In fact, what Ye Weiwei gave to her mother was a thermal undergarment that she had made for her family using the hides of mutated beasts.
Because the materials were rare and precious, she didn't take these out with the previous items, lest Huo Xiao see them and she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
Actually, Huo Xiao had seen her frequently taking things out these past few days, including dried vegetables and meat pieces. She told Huo Xiao that she got them from the black market, but she felt that Huo Xiao should have some doubts.
However, since Huo Xiao didn't ask, she was happy to relax; lying was too tiring.
Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao led Xiao Xingxing away by the hand. Xiao Xingxing looked back every three steps. After walking a few meters, she suddenly broke free from their hands and rushed back like a little leopard, hugging Ye Huaiming's leg and crying loudly.
Ye Huaiming picked up his son, his eyes also wet with tears, and said in feigned annoyance, "You brat, didn't you say you would behave and not cry?"
"Dad, you won't abandon me, will you?" Little Star hugged Ye Huaiming's neck tightly, her tears falling onto his neck and seeping into his heart.
The little guy wasn't worried at first, but when they were processing his paperwork that day, Section Chief Ma routinely asked Ye Huaiming if he really wanted to sever ties with him. When he heard his father say yes, they put their fingerprints on a piece of paper and he was told that they were no longer father and son, the little guy started to feel uneasy again.
"Of course not, you little rascal, you have to listen to your aunt and uncle and grow up quickly, understand?"
Little Star nodded vigorously, "I will, Daddy, I'll be good."
Huo Xiao stepped forward and took Xiao Xingxing from him, whispering a few words in his ear. Xiao Xingxing's eyes widened in surprise, "Uncle, are you serious?"
Huo Xiao said, "My uncle-in-law never lies."
Little Star clenched her little fist excitedly and urged, "Then Uncle and Aunt, let's go quickly!"
After saying that, he waved his little hand to Ye's parents, father, and uncle: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Uncle, I'm leaving now, goodbye!"
After saying goodbye to everyone again, Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao left with the little one.
Ye Huaiming stood at the door until he could no longer see his son before reluctantly following his family back home, muttering to himself, "That brat, he didn't even look back at me once."
Ye Huaiyu couldn't help but complain, "Do you expect him to keep turning back every few steps, crying and refusing to leave?"
Little Star is so sensible, yet his older brother is still not satisfied.
Feeling embarrassed by his brother's words, Ye Huaiming explained awkwardly, "No."
Little Xingxing, who had just left the farm, immediately looked at Huo Xiao and said, "Uncle, teach me how to be a man now. I want to learn quickly so I can protect my dad, grandpa, grandma, and uncle."
Huo Xiao chuckled and rubbed his little head. "We'll start learning after we get home. Your uncle is very strict, so you're not allowed to cry."
Little Star said seriously, "I won't cry. Grandma says I'm the most sensible and strongest child."
"Okay, then Little Star must keep her word."
Little Star patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I definitely will! You promised to bring me to the farm to see Dad next time, but you can't go back on your word, or you'll become a big fatso and ugly, and Auntie won't like you anymore."
Huo Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay."
This little rascal is so precocious, he even knows how to threaten him with his wife!
Ye Huaijin leaned against the car and saw Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao walking over with Xiao Xingxing, chatting and laughing. Her expression softened.
"Second Brother." Ye Weiwei greeted Ye Huaijin from afar. When Little Star saw Ye Huaijin, she pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything.
Ye Huaijin picked up Xiaoxing and held her above his head, shaking her back and forth. "Xiaoxing, don't you recognize your second uncle? Why don't you greet me?"
Little Star couldn't help but giggle, then looked around to make sure no one was watching before quietly calling out, "Second Uncle."
His grandparents, father, and uncle all told him that when he saw his second uncle outside, he should pretend not to know him and not let others know their relationship with his second uncle, otherwise it would cause his second uncle to be arrested by bad guys.
Seeing his cautious look, Ye Huaijin's eyes welled up with tears, and she tenderly rubbed his little head. "Go back with your aunt first, and your second uncle will come to play with you when he has time. He'll bring you a little airplane made from bullet casings, okay?"
"Really?" Little Star's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "The toy gun that Second Uncle gave me was stolen by bad guys."
That was his most treasured and favorite toy.
Ye Huaijin said, "It's alright, your second uncle will make you an even better one."
Little Star clapped her hands happily: "Great!"
The group got into the car and first went to Grandpa Zhang's house to unpack their belongings, then settled the room fee and said goodbye to Grandpa Zhang's family.
Seeing that Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao had changed cars again this time, and that a soldier was personally driving them away, Ma Cuihua was incredibly enthusiastic and eager to get closer to them. She kept talking to Ye Weiwei, but Zhang Changsheng eventually pulled her back in disgust.
After Ye Weiwei and the others drove away, Ma Cuihua glared angrily at her husband, "Why did you stop me just now? I still had things to say to them."
Zhang Changsheng rolled his eyes at her: "Stop thinking about nonsense. Have you finished all the housework? You're just bored out of your mind!"
Ma Cuihua was so angry that her heart ached. She quickly returned to the room where Ye Weiwei and the others were staying and looked around. She found that the room was clean and there was nothing left. Her face turned ugly. "These people are really stingy. They stayed for so long and didn't even leave anything as a souvenir when they left."
Zhang Changsheng didn't even bother to look at this woman. Why should she leave you a souvenir? Just because you're so arrogant?
They really have no self-awareness!
Ye Huaijin drove Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao directly to Ning City. Their train was scheduled to depart at 8 p.m., so they had more than half a day to spare. Ye Huaijin then took them sightseeing in Ning City.
Ye Weiwei first bought two new outfits for Xiaoxing, and then asked Huo Xiao to take Xiaoxing to the bathhouse to take a bath and change into the new clothes.
She could also take this opportunity to have a good talk with her second brother, Ye Huaijin.
As soon as Huo Xiao and Xiao Xingxing left, Ye Huaijin couldn't wait to ask, "Little sister, what exactly happened on your end? How did you suddenly get married to Huo Xiao?"
Ye Weiwei recounted what happened after she went to the countryside to Ye Huaijin, without hiding the fact that she had plotted against Ye Wanwan.
After hearing Ye Weiwei's words, Ye Huaijin narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, "Letting her die like this is really letting her off too easily!"
