Shen Muzhi had already asked the servants to bring out the toy car. It was a two-seater, so he carried Hengheng and Xiaokui inside, fastened their seatbelts, and then stood to the side to operate the remote control.
He didn't dare drive too fast, so he kept running alongside the car while operating the steering wheel. The two little ones were very happy and even pressed the music play button. They held the steering wheel, but it was just for show.
The car drove around the yard, and the amusement facilities looked like roadblocks.
The courtyard was immediately filled with laughter and chatter, and no one noticed a military jeep driving in.
While they were having fun, the toy car crashed into the army green trouser leg.
Shen Muzhi stopped the car, looked up, and saw Shen Guoliang and Bo Qingyun. "Dad, Mom."
"Shen Muzhi, there's a limit to your nonsense. You ignored everyone's objections and said you were getting engaged to Bai Yutong, and now you're angrily canceling the engagement banquet for no reason. What on earth are you up to?" Shen Guoliang reprimanded him sternly and authoritatively.
"This was something Bai Yutong and I had already agreed on, so you don't need to worry about it," Shen Muzhi replied to Shen Guoliang, then, thinking of the two children, she wanted to introduce them.
Bo Qingyun had already squatted down to look at the two children, her eyes slowly widening: "They are..."
“It’s Hengheng and Xiaokui, my son and daughter, your grandson and granddaughter.” Shen Muzhi said this with a big smile on his face and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Even Shen Guoliang's usually stern and unsmiling face showed a hint of surprise. His eyes lit up, and he squatted down like Bo Qingyun, laughing heartily: "Yes, it must be, Ayun, it's our grandson and granddaughter."
Bo Qingyun's eyes were already red with excitement. Her grandchildren, whom she had been longing for, had finally returned. She couldn't help but reach out to touch the two children's faces, but she was afraid that they would still be shy and not dare to get too close. She hadn't felt this sense of gain and loss for a long time.
"Hengheng, Xiaokui, we are your grandparents." Bo Qingyun's lips trembled slightly, and tears streamed down her face.
Hengheng and Xiaokui exchanged a glance, not understanding the adults' excitement. When Xiaokui saw that she was crying, she took out her bib and used it as a handkerchief, wiping away her tears with her little hand, saying softly, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Such a sensible child! Bo Qingyun couldn't help but pick her up from the car and repeatedly replied, "Yes, Grandma, don't cry."
Shen Guoliang picked up Hengheng, touched his little hands, and asked with concern, "Is Hengheng cold?"
Hengheng shook his head, looking blank, and turned to look at Shen Muzhi.
“Hengheng, these are your and Xiaokui’s grandparents,” Shen Muzhi explained to Hengheng.
"Grandpa, Grandma!" Hengheng called out immediately, and Xiaokui followed suit.
The two elderly people were overjoyed, never expecting their grandchildren to accept them so easily.
Shen Guoliang, who usually kept his emotions hidden, was all smiles today, his usually stern and dignified face softening like that of an ordinary grandfather.
Bo Qingyun went even further, holding the child and refusing to let go.
After a while, their excitement subsided, and the two took the child inside to play.
Bo Qingyun didn't want to take her eyes off the two children for a moment. She was very glad that she had come to accompany Shen Guoliang to confront him. This was a pleasant surprise, and it was really great.
Shen Guoliang was calmer than her. After recovering, he questioned Shen Muzhi in a deep voice: "The child is back, why didn't you tell us?"
"We just got back a few days ago and haven't settled in yet. Zhi Lan and I were planning to take the kids there before New Year's Eve to give you a surprise," Shen Muzhi said.
