It's Zhao Dabao who's been up to no good lately. He keeps finding all sorts of excuses to send things to Chen Jiali at their educated youth settlement.
When Xu Meijun noticed that Chen Jiali's expression became a little unnatural after she mentioned Zhao Dabao's name, she immediately changed the subject and started talking about something else with Ye Weiwei.
It had been so long since they last met, and she had so much to say to Ye Weiwei.
Xu Meijun, Chen Jiali, and others stayed at Ye Weiwei's house until it was time for dinner before leaving.
Ye Weiwei originally wanted them to stay for dinner, and Liu Guilan even cooked extra food, but the group knew that it wasn't easy for Ye Weiwei to take care of three children, so they refused to stay no matter what.
Finally, Liu Guilan picked a few large pumpkins and winter melons from her yard and gave them to each of them, along with three red eggs, before letting them leave.
The large pumpkins and winter melons planted in this yard were left over from the pumpkins and winter melons that Ye Weiwei took out of her space last winter. When the weather warmed up this year, Liu Guilan planted them around the four sides of her vegetable garden at home, and also planted some in the vegetable garden and corners of Ye Weiwei's backyard.
Ye Weiwei used to often give them some wood-type abilities. When she went to the old house, she would also secretly give the vegetables in the garden some wood-type abilities. As a result, the vegetables in both gardens grew exceptionally well, especially the pumpkins and winter melons. Each plant had a lot of fruit, and they grew to a large size. Everyone who saw them was envious and wanted to help save seeds so that they could plant some next year.
These large pumpkins and winter melons are easy to store, especially pumpkins, which are as filling as grains. Whether you use them to make steamed buns, dumplings, or stir-fries, they are very filling.
With these, at least we won't have to eat cabbage and radishes every meal in winter.
Just after finishing dinner, Ye Weiwei heard someone throw a few clods of dirt into the backyard.
She used her spiritual power to look over and found that it was Old Master Qin and Old Master Du in the shed, so she quickly asked Huo Xiao to welcome them in.
Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Du came into the house, looked at the three little ones, and praised Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao for their good fortune. Then the two of them took out the three small gold locks they had prepared and put them on the little ones.
When Ye Weiwei saw that they had given such an expensive gift, she was about to refuse when she heard her mother-in-law, Liu Guilan, say, "You've gone to so much trouble."
This means they intend to accept it.
Ye Weiwei had no choice but to thank them as well.
Although they were only a few days old, the three little ones are changing every day. They have already grown up quite a bit and look like completely different people compared to when they were first born.
Looking at their fair and tender little faces, Ye Weiwei's maternal love for her children was fully aroused. She felt that no one else's children were as good-looking as her three little ones, except for Xiao Xingxing.
What she likes most now is hearing people praise her child; it makes her feel more accomplished than if they praised her.
It's clear that both Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Du genuinely love the three children, especially Grandpa Qin, who hugged this one and that one, holding each of the three children thoroughly, showing his affection and reluctance to let go.
"Why are you still calling them 'little one' without giving them names?"
Ye Weiwei looked at Huo Xiao, who coughed lightly, feeling uneasy. "It's not decided yet."
Old Master Qin was somewhat dissatisfied, "It's been so many days since the baby was born, why hasn't it been decided yet?"
He held the old man and the baby in his arms, watching the little one yawn delicately, not crying or fussing, looking extremely calm. He couldn't help but feel happy. "Unperturbed by favor or disgrace, watching the flowers bloom and fade in the courtyard, indifferent to coming and going, gazing at the clouds drifting in the sky, I think the child has a gentle temperament, so how about we name him Yunshu, Huo Yunshu, what do you think?"
Liu Guilan's gaze towards Old Master Qin was somewhat displeased. Old Master Qin also realized that he had overstepped his bounds and quickly said, "Look at me, I got carried away in my joy. I didn't mean anything by it, I just said a few words because I was fond of the child. Please don't take it to heart."
Grandpa Du quickly chimed in, "Old Qin just really loves kids."
Liu Guilan's expression was still not good. Just as Ye Weiwei was thinking of saying something to smooth things over, Liu Guilan suddenly said, "The name Yunshu is quite suitable for the little girl's personality. Let's call her Huo Yunshu."
Ye Weiwei; ...
Huo Xiao: ...
Grandpa Qin was immediately thrilled and said happily to the little girl in his arms, "Good! Then you will be called Yunshu! Little Yunshu, do you like this name?"
Huo Yunshu responded with a yawn, then closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Grandpa Qin was amused and laughed heartily: "This child has character, is steady, and is clearly capable of great things."
Liu Guilan took her granddaughter back from Grandpa Qin's arms with displeasure and said, "I just want my granddaughter to be safe and healthy in the future. I don't need her to do anything important!"
Grandpa Qin smiled awkwardly: "You're right, girls should be pampered. If there's anything, let his two older brothers do it!"
Grandpa Du rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try.
Old Qin has given the little girl a name, why don't he show off his skills and give the two boys names too?
Huo Xiao saw through his intentions at a glance and quickly blocked his two sons, looking at Old Master Du warily: "We will discuss and choose their names ourselves."
He was already annoyed that his daughter's name had been chosen by Old Master Qin, and now even his sons' right to name their children was being threatened. Did they think he, as the father, was just a figurehead?
Seeing that there was no hope, Old Master Du didn't press the matter any further.
It was only after they had become familiar with Huo Xiao and Ye Weiwei during this period and knew that they didn't mind their identities that they dared to say these things. Of course, they knew they couldn't push their luck too much.
After seeing off Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Du, Liu Guilan helped the little ones bathe and then went home.
When Huo Xiao returned from seeing the person off, Ye Weiwei couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think Mom was acting a little strange tonight?"
They seemed to dislike Old Master Qin, yet inexplicably showed him more tolerance—a rather contradictory situation.
Moreover, she actually agreed to the name that Old Master Qin gave his daughter.
Although the name Yunshu is quite fitting for their youngest daughter.
Huo Xiao's gaze deepened, and he finally sighed, "Our mother doesn't want to talk about it."
When he went to see Liu Guilan off earlier, he tried to ask about Grandpa Qin, but seeing that his mother's expression was not right and she was obviously unwilling to say more, he wisely refrained from asking.
Ye Weiwei shrugged. "Then we won't ask. Mom will tell us when she's willing to. If she doesn't tell us, it means it's not important."
Huo Xiao hummed in agreement. He first went to the next room to check on Little Star. He saw the little guy sleeping on his back, probably dreaming about something delicious. He kept smacking his lips. Huo Xiao couldn't help but laugh and pulled the blanket that Little Star had kicked aside back to cover his belly.
