Chapter 201
Before dinner, Wang Mengjiao brought Anbao back. Anbao is the name of the little one, which means peace and safety. The word "Bao" comes from Baoya's "Bao".
The little guy had just learned to walk and was walking crookedly as if he was about to fall at any time, but he just didn't want Wang Mengjiao to hold him and insisted on walking by himself.
There was a gate at the gate. The little girl had short legs and couldn't get through after several attempts. Wang Mengjiao reached out to carry her over but she refused, waving her hands and insisting on going over on her own. Then she slowly groped her way to the side, and finally stepped in, holding onto the gate with her little hands.
Tian En and Bao Ya were watching from the front, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes and praise: "Sister, you are so amazing~"
Yang Yulan and her mother stood at the kitchen door and took a few glances, unable to stop smiling: "Look, look, this little brat is so smart, he already has an idea at such a young age."
"He will definitely be smart when he grows up." Yang Yulan said with a smile.
Wang Mengjiao only realized that Yang Yulan and her family had arrived when she saw Baoya and Tianen. She looked up and saw Yang Yulan at the kitchen door. She called out to her, "Second sister is here."
Yang Yulan smiled and nodded as a response. The food was still frying in the pot. Yang Yulan and her mother didn't stay any longer and turned around to go in.
"Baoya and Tianen are here too. When did they arrive?" Wang Mengjiao walked behind Anbao and looked at them, then looked up and asked them.
"I arrived at noon," Tian'en replied. He used to be very afraid of Wang Mengjiao, but later he gradually sensed the change in Wang Mengjiao's attitude and was no longer afraid of her.
An Bao walked with his short legs towards Tian En and Bao Ya. Although he hadn't seen them for half a year, An Bao seemed to still remember them, especially Bao Ya. He stretched out his little hand and held Bao Ya's hand tightly, showing his two newly pierced teeth and giggling at her.
Baoya looked at Anbao, who was as little as a kid in front of her, with her eyes wide open. Then she reached out and gently pinched her little hand, which was so soft.
Baoya had been with Tiantian for a long time, so even though she was still a child herself, she was already quite experienced in taking care of children. Wang Mengjiao watched Tianen and Baoya take good care of Anbao, even more carefully and attentively than she, a mother, did. She smiled and stopped watching, going into the kitchen to help.
It didn't take long for the meal to be ready, and the family sat at the table.
Wang Mengjiao held Anbao in her arms and couldn't help but smile as she said, "I think Baoya and Tianen are really good at taking care of children. They watch over them more carefully than I do."
"Maybe it's because of Tiantian. Tiantian is over two years old this year. She has always played with Baoya. She has gained experience after watching her sister so many times." Yang Yulan said with a smile.
"Then you'll have to come back more often and ask them to help me look after Anbao. Even though she's only one year old, she might be very noisy. I can hardly keep up with her."
Mother Yang also said, "Yes, come back and visit when you have time. Your father and I both like Baoya and Tianen, so it's a good opportunity to ask Xiao Anbao to play with them."
Yang Yulan smiled and said yes.
"However, Baoya will also be going to school, so it might be difficult to ask for leave then. Anyway, you guys will see when the time comes. Come back when you have time, and Mom will make you something delicious."
"It's too late today. Ask your father to buy some apples or something tomorrow and make some steamed buns for us." After saying that, Mother Yang picked up some dishes for Baoya and Tianen, and asked them if there was anything they wanted to eat.
After a lively meal, Yang's mother cleared out a room next door and temporarily gave it to the four of them to stay in. Fortunately, Baoya and Tianen were not used to their beds and fell asleep soon after lying down. They were indeed exhausted today.
Afterwards, Yang Yulan thought about it and discussed with Song Jianye: "How about we go back the day after tomorrow? I want to stay one more day. It's not easy to come back."
Originally, they had planned to leave tomorrow afternoon, arriving home around dinner time. However, Yang Yulan felt very comfortable at home today, and seeing how happy Yang's mother and Yang Guozhong were to see Baoya and Tianen, who also liked Anbao very much, she felt a little reluctant to leave.
Song Jianye didn't refuse and nodded directly: "Okay, let's leave the day after tomorrow."
Yang Yulan smiled and nodded.
"Go to sleep."
The two days I spent at the Yang family passed quickly and happily. Normally, there were only Yang Guozhong, Wang Mengjiao, and An Bao at home. Now that Yang Yulan and her family of four had arrived, and with two more children, the place felt much more lively, and the smiles on everyone's faces were noticeably greater.
Sometimes Yang's mother took Anbao out, and also took Baoya and Tianen. When other people in the team saw them, they all praised Baoya for being pretty and Tianen for being sensible. With Anbao, who was a little kid, Yang's mother had a lot of harvest.
Many people looked at him with envy.
When it was time to leave, Yang's mother was so reluctant that Yang Yulan almost didn't want to leave. But in the end, the family of four left, saying they would come back during the National Day holiday.
After another bumpy ride, they arrived home just as expected, just in time for Old Song's dinner. Yang Yulan and Baoya Tianen cleaned up briefly, then sat in the main room and started eating.
"Sister Xiaobao, Brother Wu, why did you come back only today?"
"Are you having fun over there?"
"We thought you would come back yesterday. Fourth Uncle bought a watermelon, but you didn't get to eat it."
“…”
Baoya and Tianen licked their lips, then talked about what happened at the Yang family and Anbao. The chattering of the little ones immediately returned to the usual liveliness.
"By the way, grandma said she wants to plant a fruit tree in the yard. Little sister Xiaobao, fifth brother, what kind of tree do you want to plant?"
Cloud: "I like grapes. I want to plant grapevines."
"I like pomegranates. The tree will bear a lot of them."
"I think persimmons are good too, they're super sweet. What about you?"
Baoya tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Watermelon~" Baoya still remembered that they had grown watermelons together when they were in the Hongqi Production Brigade, and they ate them when they grew up.
Baoya especially still clearly remembers the feeling of eating watermelon for the first time. So even though she has eaten other delicious fruits since then, when asked which one she likes best, watermelon is still it.
Tian En heard it and nodded: "I like watermelon too."
"Watermelons are pretty good, but I don't know if we can grow one that big."
"How about we grow watermelons?"
"Sure." The other kids all had no objection and thought watermelon was good too.
Yuanbao turned around and told Feng Guizhi about this matter. Feng Guizhi readily agreed and said that not only could they grow watermelons, but they could also plant a grape tree.
"Oh, that's great!"
"We can eat watermelon and grapes at home from now on~!" The little ones were so happy that they almost jumped up.
Summer vacation is over in the blink of an eye. After two months of vacation, the little ones are starting to look forward to the start of school. After all, the class will be more lively with more classmates. Moreover, Baoya will be going to school with them soon, so the little ones are particularly excited.
The only thing that made them feel a little disappointed was that Bowen would go to junior high school at the beginning of the school year.
I'm in the first grade now, so I'm not in the same school as them. But luckily, my junior high school is not too far from their elementary school, so we can walk together.
The day of registration soon arrived. Feng Guizhi and Sun Suyun took the children to school together. Li Qingyan was busy with the registration, so she left home earlier than them.
Baoya followed Yuanbao and the others, looking at her school with wide eyes and curiosity. Yuanbao introduced her school to her. Baoya had been here last semester, but she had come to register with her brothers. This time, she registered on her own.
Thinking that she will soon meet new classmates and make new friends, Baoya is a little nervous and excited.
Feng Guizhi and Sun Suyun went to line up to pay tuition, while Boyu Yuanbao and the others brought Baoya to the first grade classroom.
"Sister Xiaobao, this will be the classroom where you will have classes from now on. Do you see this seat? I sat here before. Do you want to sit here too?" Yuanbao pointed to his old seat and said to Baoya.
"No, you're too far back here. Little Bao won't be able to see the blackboard." Yun Duo said, moving her seat two rows forward. "Little Bao, sit here. This is a good spot."
Baoya looked at Yuanbao, then at Yunduo, and for a moment she was unsure of what to choose. She looked to Tianen for help. At this moment, Boyu made the choice for her: "Listen to Yunduo, otherwise if someone taller sits in front of you, you won't be able to see the teacher."
Baoya saw Boyu speak and nodded her head obediently.
After choosing their seats, Boyu Tianen and the others also wanted to go back to their own classes. After saying goodbye to Baoya, they all left. Baoya sat in her seat obediently, looking at her desk and the surrounding classroom curiously.
It wasn't long before some students started arriving. However, when they saw Baoya, they gathered around her curiously: "Are you going to be in the first grade too?"
"You look so young, how old are you?"
"You are so beautiful, can I pinch your face?"
Baoya was surrounded by a few strangers and was a little scared at first. However, seeing that they didn't mean any harm, she gradually relaxed. Then, she slowly nodded her head and answered their questions.
"What's your name?"
Baoya opened her mouth and was about to answer Baoya, then she remembered that Baoya was just her own
She has a nickname, a full name, and said in a soft voice, "Song Yunlai~"
......
Jiang Zhenggao had been back in Kyoto for several days, but he was busy with various things every day and gradually forgot about meeting Baoya. It was only when he first came back that he mentioned it to his wife.
Some days later, his sister Jiang Xinyue brought her daughter Gu Lingru back to her parents' home. For some reason, Jiang's mother found some old photos and looked at them with them in the living room.
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "Your mother was pretty when she was little, with a round face and big, bright eyes. One time, I was walking down the street with your mother, and when I turned around, she was taken away by human traffickers. I was so scared at the time that I almost lost my soul. Finally, people said that your mother was so pretty that it was obvious she wasn't from the same family as the traffickers, so we rescued her..."
Jiang Xinyue was a little embarrassed: "Mom..."
Jiang Zhenggao glanced at the photo and immediately thought of Chu Baoya's face. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, I met someone a few days ago..."
The author has something to say: I have to go to a relative's house tomorrow, so I may not be able to update in time. I would like to ask for a day off from everyone. I will give you a red envelope when the next chapter is updated.
