Chapter 791 Pu'er
In Xiao Baichuan's memory, his grandfather didn't look like this.
He Hongjin was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly put his hands away, laughed "hehe", and rubbed his head.
It’s understandable that the child is shy when meeting someone for the first time.
It was because of this refusal to acknowledge his "grandfather" that He Hongjin felt an unspeakable knot in his heart.
Lu Miao patted Bai Chuan's head, realizing something, and said to He Hongjin:
"Uncle, he's young and a little shy. Don't be surprised by his behavior. After a few days of getting to know him better, he'll be able to recognize you."
He Hongjin smiled and waved his hands:
"It's okay, it's just a small matter, as long as you are back."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said:
"You didn't eat much in the car, did you? Your aunt got up as soon as the rooster crowed this morning! She stewed a big pot of chicken for you. I'll ask her to serve it to you."
"Why."
We are all family, there is no need to be shy.
Lu Miao responded promptly.
Among the children, the three older ones are very close to the old couple.
Just Xiaobaichuan.
After he turned one year old, Lu Miao no longer restricted him from crawling and walking around.
The little guy is usually very active, running around everywhere, holding on to the cabinets and walls.
It was my first time back to my hometown, and I was probably still shy. I became like before when I couldn’t even walk, and couldn’t live without people.
Want mom to hold her.
If mom is not available, dad will hold the baby.
During the meal, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou took turns.
The old couple watched helplessly from the side, wanting to reach out and offer to hug the child, but they were afraid of making the child cry.
Later it was time for a nap, and the little one relaxed, lying on his father's shoulder with his mouth open and drooling.
He was soundly asleep when the old couple took him in their arms for a while.
"This one looks the most like his father. Look at his eyebrows, the peaks of his brows, and even his little mouth. They're all carved from the same mold!"
Chen Guifen was beaming with joy, and she touched the child's face carefully as if she was holding a piece of gold in her arms.
Mingyi and Mingxia both have similarities with their father, but now that their little faces are gradually growing, they look more like their mother.
Baichuan has thick eyebrows like his mother, and the dark color between his eyebrows makes his eyebrows more prominent.
After all, Chen Guifen raised Fu Jingyou, so she could tell at a glance at Xiao Baichuan.
He Hongjin didn't say anything, just stretched his neck to look at him, touched the back of his head, and just smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Liu said you guys had your first birthday celebration in the city?"
He Hongjin looked at Lu Miao and asked, "Can the village still handle this trip?"
He Hongjin wanted to hold one to make it lively.
Another thing is that they were not around when the children were in the capital, so the little ones had no idea what they were doing during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.
Lu Miao didn't want to bother with that, so he shook his head and said:
"We'll just do it once and then stop. If we do it multiple times for one anniversary, if outsiders hear about it, they'll think we're trying to take advantage of the gifts from both sides."
He Hongjin said "Oh" and touched the child's head, feeling a little regretful.
Lu Miao continued, "I can stay for half a month this time. I'll see if my second brother and the others are free. We can prepare some good food and wine and sit down to have a good meal together. It's the same thing."
He Hongjin thought about it and nodded with a smile.
The little kid is already quite shy, and if too many people come, he might be frightened.
During this season, early season rice is being threshed in the threshing grounds on both sides of the village.
There were also many people leading cows and carrying loads along the way.
It was difficult to drive to the door of the house over there, so after Fu Jingyou finished his meal here, he took the key to the front door from He Hongjin.
I made two trips to deliver the luggage, and then turned back to pick up my wife and children.
The house was renovated last year, and before coming back this time, the old couple came over early to help clean up.
The room was not only bright and spacious, but also had clean tables and chairs and a mat on the bed.
On the kitchen stove, rice, grain and oil for three meals were also prepared.
The old couple are both honest people and are good parents.
They haven't seen each other for a long time, and the younger generations rarely come back, so the two old people have made up their minds not to worry about them.
These……
Lu Miao saw it all.
Although it was still the 1980s, the pace in rural and urban areas was still different.
A while ago in northern Beijing, Lu Miao was always busy and couldn't put his mind to it. On his way back, he was always worried.
Now that she was home, she felt relieved.
Be busy when you should be busy, and rest when you should rest.
Lu Miao slowly relaxed, but to be honest, she hadn't been busy around the boiler and stove preparing three meals a day for a long time.
It took me two days to get used to the new environment after I came back.
The children's father was also considerate and didn't give her too much worry.
He washes the clothes that adults and children take off every day.
Because of this, Tianzao heard the news of their return and came over from the brigade carrying brown sugar and an old hen with a pregnant belly.
When I saw her when I came in, I joked about it, saying that washing clothes was not something a man could do.
He was clumsy and teased Lu Miao without worrying that Fu Jingyou would tear his clothes.
Tianzao remembers Lu Miao's kindness in her heart.
If Lu Miao hadn't taught her to read and take the college entrance examination, how could she have the good life she has now?
After putting the things down, Tianzao rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help with the laundry.
Her belly looked to be five or six months pregnant, so how could Lu Miao dare to let her do this?
She quickly asked Fu Jingyou to take the basin to the backyard to wash it. She stopped Tianzao, poured him some tea, and sat down to talk with him:
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you are getting married and having children."
"That's right! When you first arrived in the capital, you were still holding both babies in your arms. Look at them running and jumping around now!"
Tianzao smiled, took a sip from the teacup, and then stared into the teacup:
"Isn't this the tea we brewed ourselves? It smells so nice! Hmm... it tastes good at first, but after swallowing it, it becomes a little astringent?"
Tianzao found it strange that a single tea leaf could have so many flavors.
Lu Miao nodded and said with a smile, "It's Pu'er tea, also given by someone. I have a big brick of tea here, I'll break some off for you to take back."
"Can tea leaves be made into bricks?"
Tianzao stood up smartly without any hesitation:
"Sister-in-law, I won't be polite to you anymore. I have to see the world!"
Lu Miao was amused by her and took her directly to the room to get some tea.
I originally brought it back to entertain guests. It’s quite a big piece.
Bringing trouble.
If they can't finish the drink, they will leave it for the elderly at home. The situation in the south is different from that in the north. If the wine is not stored properly, it will easily get wet.
It is better to use it up quickly.
Without any tools to pry the tea bricks, Lu Miao simply started to smash it gently along the edge of the table.
Tianzao was sharp-eyed and spotted Baichuan sleeping on the bed. She sat over and looked at the child intently:
"I was just talking about the baby, but I forgot about it while drinking tea... Sister-in-law, this is the baby you gave birth to later, right?"
