"Oh, sister-in-law, come in quickly, come in quickly. You've arrived now? Why didn't anyone give me a heads-up? Otherwise, I would have sent someone to pick you up."
Sister-in-law Ouyang hurriedly pulled the person into the house and said to them,
"Mom, Dad, look who's here!"
He secretly felt smug, wanting to show Old Mrs. Ouyang and Old Mr. Ouyang what kind of person their beloved son and daughter-in-law were now.
However, it was a bit strange that I didn't see Ouyang Zhenyu.
Then it dawned on me that I had deliberately scheduled Ouyang Zhenyu's report for this day.
The point is to make sure Ouyang Zhenyu misses the old man's family warm banquet.
He was also absent from the old man's birthday celebration.
Today is my grandfather's birthday, so I took this opportunity to warm the home.
This was a deliberate attempt to intimidate Ouyang Zhenyu.
It was also to let the old man know that his son, whom he had found after being separated for many years, was not as close to him as he had imagined.
We should also take a look at the people around us.
Hearing the sound, the old lady turned around with a smile and immediately saw Chen Ruixue and the three children.
Surprised and delighted, he hurriedly got up.
"Oh, Xiao Chen. Aren't you supposed to arrive tomorrow? I already told the driver to pick you up from the train station first thing tomorrow morning."
"Oh dear, my three darlings, look at how dirty you are! Come here quickly."
The old lady didn't mind at all that her grandchildren looked like mud monkeys.
The old man heard these words in the crowd and hurriedly turned around. He had been looking forward to his son and daughter-in-law's return for a long time.
His old comrades-in-arms, who were surrounding him, hurriedly asked,
"Who is this? Is this your Zhenyu's wife?"
The old man nodded.
"Yes, but doesn't that mean we'll arrive tomorrow?"
They must have arrived early, wanting to surprise me.
This kid probably knew it was my birthday and did this on purpose.
"And Ouyang was so smug when he first met you. Your son is quite thoughtful, arranging this as a surprise for your birthday."
"That's because you think that even though my third son has been missing for so many years, we are still father and son. Of course he still cares about me as his father."
The old man was beaming with pride, but when he heard this, Sister-in-law Ouyang felt a little embarrassed.
Even at this point, the old man could still say these words, which actually helped to clear Ouyang Zhenyu's name.
He said it seemingly unintentionally.
"Why does Dad only see my brother and sister-in-law and the children? Where is Zhenyu?"
The old lady was asking Chen Ruixue about her well-being while arranging for the nanny to take Chen Ruixue and the three children to wash up.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruixue hurriedly explained.
“Dad, Zhenyu’s transfer order must be reported today. He’ll go to the suburbs to report it first and will be back in a little while.”
The old man nodded immediately upon hearing this.
"Oh, I see. Why didn't you leave earlier? You were in such a rush."
"Grandpa, the train was delayed on the way, otherwise we should have arrived yesterday."
Xiao Guai immediately spoke up, rushing to her grandfather's side and hugging his leg.
The old man picked up the little girl and frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"What? You missed your train, but your dad told us you'd be back tomorrow."
I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow. Did you miss Grandpa, you little rascal?
Xiao Guai immediately grabbed her grandfather's beard, hugged his neck tightly, and said...
"think!
Grandpa, my little darling, I miss you so much.
Your older brother and sister miss you too.
We miss not only Grandpa, but also Grandma.
When my dad boarded the train, he called my uncle to say that we had arrived yesterday. My siblings and I thought we would see our grandparents as soon as we got off the train.
Last time, Grandma and Grandpa said they would definitely come to pick us up.
We came out of the train station, and if Uncle Gu hadn't arranged for his comrades to pick us up, we wouldn't have been able to get back.
Grandpa, don't you like me, my brother, and my sister anymore?
The little girl was really going all out to sow discord, and when she said that, the old man felt terrible for her.
Grandpa didn't answer the phone.
How could Grandpa and Grandma not like you? They promised to pick you up last time, and they definitely will.
The old man looked up at his eldest daughter-in-law. There was a mistake in the timing; she must have misheard.
But we can't say anything in front of so many relatives and friends. It would be a bit unreasonable to hold the eldest daughter-in-law responsible for this. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
However, upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Ouyang hurriedly came forward to apologize.
"Oh dear. Dad, it seems I must have misheard. I didn't expect things to go wrong like this."
It's all my fault, it's all my fault.
"My dear, it's all your aunt's fault. Your aunt misheard, otherwise Grandpa and Grandma would definitely have come to pick you up."
Clearly, Sister-in-law Ouyang had grasped that this was not a big deal and that it was normal to make a mistake.
No one would specifically pursue the matter of Sister-in-law Ouyang over this incident.
Little Guai pouted and said.
"Grandpa, we had no idea you moved to a new house. Grandpa, there's a really fierce woman back in our old home. They say Mom and we are poor relatives who are just trying to freeload off us."
They simply wouldn't tell us the address. If it weren't for the grandparents next to us who knew us and gave us the address, we wouldn't have been able to find it.
Grandpa, why didn't you tell me you moved to a new house?
"Mom and I went through so much trouble to find this place, but Dad doesn't even know the address of our new home. How will he get here?"
