Chapter 162 National Day
After this incident, the village chief led the remaining villagers out of the mountains and left the place where they had lived for generations.
Tang Xinquan and Xin Hailian took the initiative to bear the relocation expenses of the remaining dozen or so families and donated a primary school to the children.
A day had passed since the National Day holiday, and everyone went home after returning to the city.
Chu Runrun and Ning Xuan had not been home for a long time, and Han Lixue and Ning Youwei urged them to go home several times.
As soon as he got home, Dahei couldn't wait to jump into his familiar nest and play with the ball happily.
Han Lixue and Ning Youwei hurried out, their eyes drifting from Ning Xuan to Chu Ruanruan:
"Ruanruan, you're finally back. You haven't seen mom and dad for so long. Do you miss us?"
"Dad, Mom, it's only been a month since school started, why do you act like you haven't seen me for years?" Chu Runrun said, feeling both amused and helpless.
"As the saying goes, a day without seeing you feels like three years. Your mother keeps thinking about you even when she goes traveling. Look, she bought you so many things that your room is almost full." Ning Youwei smiled helplessly.
Han Lixue raised her eyebrows and said in a threatening tone, "I'm buying something for my daughter, do you have any objections?"
"No, no, no! How dare I have any objection! But your attention is so focused on Ruanruan that why didn't I see you buying clothes for your son?" Ning Youwei said with a smile.
Han Lixue rolled her eyes at Ning Youwei and said, "You talk as if you bought it for your son!
Yesterday at the mall, you wanted to move the entire mall back to your son, but when it came to your son's turn, you felt bad about buying him a pair of shorts!"
Ning Youwei: “…”
This is true, but why does he feel a little guilty?
Ning Xuan had long been accustomed to being treated differently by his parents, so he shrugged indifferently.
Han Lixue saw that Chu Qi was not there and asked hurriedly: "By the way, where is Xiao Qi?"
"My sister said she was going back to get something and will be here soon." Chu Runrun replied.
As he was speaking, Chu Qi's car drove in.
"Ruanruan, come here and get the things!"
Chu Qi called Chu Ruanruan over and opened the trunk, which was filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as several boxes of seafood.
"Sister, why did you buy so many things?" Chu Runrun asked.
"Apart from these fresh vegetables, everything else was sent by my fans, and quite a few were sent by some bigwigs who asked me for help.
Every holiday they give me a lot of food, and I can’t finish it all. This year you are here, so it won’t go to waste.”
Chu Qi said as she carried the huge king crab into the house.
Han Lixue hurriedly took a towel and handed it over: "Xiaoqi, stop busying yourself and wipe the sweat off your face!"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Chu Qi said with a smile.
As he was speaking, Ning Changbo, who had sneaked in, also arrived.
When he heard that Chu Runrun was on National Day holiday, the old man booked a plane ticket and rushed over immediately, preparing to give his two precious granddaughters a surprise.
"Soft, Xiaoqi!"
As soon as Ning Changbo entered the house, he started calling his two granddaughters.
"grandfather!"
Chu Runrun and Chu Qi hurried over to help Ning Changbo into the house.
Although Chu Qi did not grow up in the Ning family like Chu Runrun, after knowing her life experience, Ning Changbo also treated her like his granddaughter.
Everything that belongs to Chu Ruanruan also belongs to Chu Qi.
"Dad, why didn't you tell us you were coming so that we could pick you up at the airport!" Ning Youwei said with a smile.
"If I tell you, there won't be any surprises!"
Ning Changbo took out two exquisite packaging boxes from his pocket and handed them to Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi.
"Grandpa, what is this?" Chu Runrun asked in confusion.
"Just open it and you'll know!" Ning Changbo said with a mysterious smile.
Chu Runrun and Chu Qi opened the box, and inside were two identical pieces of jadeite, strung together with a gold chain to form a necklace.
Chu Runrun knew as soon as she touched it that the jade was a top-grade violet jadeite, extremely precious.
"This violet jade is not easy to get. It looks like the one my mother left behind!" Ning Youwei said.
"That's right! It's the one your mother left behind. I accidentally found it while rummaging through things a few days ago. I thought it was useless to keep it, so I just made it into two necklaces and gave them to Ruanruan and Xiaoqi." Ning Changbo said with a smile.
Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly said, "Grandpa, this is a thought left by grandma for you. We can't have it!"
"What's the point of missing her? She's been gone for so long, I think she's missed her enough!" Ning Changbo laughed.
Chu Runrun and Chu Qi no longer refused and put the necklace around their necks.
After knowing that Ning Changbo had arrived, Ning Youyan and Ning Youzhi also brought their whole family to spend National Day with the old man.
Fortunately, the dining table was big enough, and there were twelve people from the three families together.
The adults were busy cooking in the kitchen, and the children were in the living room with Ning Changbo, it was very lively.
"General!"
Chu Ruanruan moved the chess piece to the opposite side. "Grandpa, you have no way to retreat, admit defeat!" Chu Ruanruan said excitedly.
"Oh, I was tricked by you again!" Ning Changbo slapped his forehead and looked at the chessboard regretfully.
"I don't want to play anymore! It's so embarrassing to always lose to you guys!" Ning Changbo said angrily like a child.
"Grandpa, we have to accept defeat and take the medicine obediently!"
Chu Runrun was holding a bowl of black Chinese medicine, which was specially used to treat the hidden injuries in Ning Changbo's body. It was very bitter, and Ning Changbo was always reluctant to eat it.
In his hometown, he was supervised by a doctor and took medicine every day. Now that he is away from the doctor, it is up to the younger generations to make him take medicine.
After losing five games of chess in a row, Ning Changbo reluctantly drank the medicine because he didn't want to lose face in front of his granddaughter.
"It's so painful!" Ning Changbo shouted repeatedly.
Chu Ruanruan quickly handed over a candy: "Well done, I'll reward Grandpa with a piece of candy!"
Ning Changbo quickly peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy into his mouth, and it took him a lot of effort to suppress the bitter taste.
Han Lixue, who was busy in the kitchen, couldn't help but chuckle when she saw this.
"Dad went through a lot of hardships when he was young. He didn't even wince when shot by a bullet. But now that he's old, he's afraid to take medicine. He really is getting younger and younger as he gets older!"
"Dad is not afraid of the bitter medicine, he just wants someone to coax him. Don't you see how happy he is now?" Ning Youwei said with a smile.
In the living room, Ning Changbo was determined to fight Chu Runrun for three hundred rounds. Even when dinner was about to start, he still felt unsatisfied.
"Dad, it's time to eat!" Ning Youwei shouted helplessly.
"Don't be impatient, wait until I finish this game!" Ning Changbo's attention was still on the chessboard.
Watching every move made by Chu Ruanruan, Ning Changbo was extremely excited:
"Ruanruan, next time I go back home, Grandpa will definitely take you to play hundreds of rounds with my chess friends!"
"Grandpa, it's time to eat. After dinner, I will tell you the tricks of playing chess. I guarantee that you will be invincible in the world, okay?" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"Okay! Eat, eat quickly!" Ning Changbo finally calmed down.
