When it was almost time for dinner, Zhao Da came back.

After a while, Zhao Heng returned home with his two children.

Before going home, she seemed to have taken the two children to the supply and marketing cooperative, because they were each holding a colorful spiral twist candy in their hands.

"Oh, a guest..."

Zhao Heng looked at the person sitting on the sofa, and the words stopped in his throat before he could even utter them.

"Wife, what is this?"

He walked into the living room with his daughter by the hand, his face full of confusion.

"Mom, is this your mom? You two look alike~"

Zhao Xiaoyue looked at the somewhat similar faces of Yan's mother and Qin Lixia and said.

Qin Lixia was stunned for a moment, then said: "Yes...you should call me grandma."

"Hello, grandma~"

"Yeah, my brother and I finally have a grandma. Sister Niuniu downstairs has a grandma, and she even made fun of me for not having a grandma, saying that they have a big family."

"Now I have a grandma too, and we have a big family~"

Yan's mother looked at Lixia beside her with great surprise. She didn't expect Lixia to acknowledge their identities to the child so quickly.

When she asked the child to call her grandma, did it mean that she was implicitly acknowledging that she was her biological mother?

"Come here, Xiao Hai, call me grandma or grandpa."

After knowing the truth, Qin Lixia didn't worry too much.

For so many years, the hurdle that she could not get over was that she thought she was abandoned by her family, but now she finds that this is not the case.

Although she is unable to call them mom and dad directly now, it will not stop the child from recognizing them.

"Hello grandma, hello grandpa, I'm Zhao Xiaohai, I'm eight years old."

"Grandma, I'm Zhao Xiaoyue. I'm three years old, almost four."

"Hello, Xiaohai. Hello, Xiaoyue."

Mother Yan happily held the hands of the two children. They were indeed just as Xiaoyu said, they were well educated by the Zhao family and were very polite.

"Xia Xia, is this Dad and Mom?"

Although he knew the truth just by looking at Yan's mother's face, if his wife refused to recognize him, he could not do it on her behalf.

After all, as Xia Xia's bedmate, he knew best how much she cared about being abandoned.

Qin Lixia didn't say anything, but nodded at him.

"Dad, Mom, hello, I'm Xia Xia's husband, my name is Zhao Heng."

Xia Xia nodded, proving that she had acknowledged their identities, so Zhao Heng did not hesitate and introduced himself directly and generously.

"Hello, thank you for your care for Xia Xia over the years."

"Mom, you're welcome."

"Xia Xia is my wife and the mother of my child. It's my duty to love her."

"Xiao Yun, you bought a lot of things, give them to the children."

"Ah, yes."

"I don't know what you like, so I just took the initiative and bought some."

She first took out the two pieces of clothing she had made for Lixia.

"Lixia, these two clothes were made for you by Xiaoyu."

"Sister Lixia, these two pieces of clothing have a story to tell."

"My mother spent a long time selecting and comparing the fabrics, and the style of the clothes was the result of brainstorming by my mother, grandparents and I."

“Ahem~~”

Song Fuyu heard the cough of Yan's father beside him and immediately reacted: "Later, everyone drew a few sketches together, and Dad also participated in the selection during the voting. He voted for this black shirt."

"Xia Xia, how about you try it?"

Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law looked expectant, Zhao Heng took the two pieces of clothing and placed them in Lixia's hands.

"Mom, please try it, it looks so good~"

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Lixia took off her thick cotton jacket and tried on the dark-colored clothes first.

"Are you cold wearing this?"

"It's not cold. It looks thin, but it's actually very warm."

Song Fuyu also thoughtfully added quilting to the lining of the clothes.

It is somewhat similar to the one she made for her mother-in-law, and is the style she wanted to make.

After Qin Lixia tried on the clothes, Yan's mother took out the gifts for Zhao Heng and the two children.

"Xiao Heng, I didn't know what you like before I came here. I heard from Fu Yu that you do clerical work in a garment factory, so I picked a pen for you."

"Thank you, Mom. I like it very much, but it's a little too expensive."

He had seen this pen in a department store before, and it cost 15 yuan. Even though he earned about 40 yuan a month, he still thought it was too expensive, so he only bought a 3 yuan pen.

"It's not expensive, as long as you like it, it's worth it."

Having owed Lixia for so many years, Yan's mother naturally hopes to give her child the best within her ability.

"Take it if you like it."

Qin Lixia knew that she had already compromised in her heart.

From the previous conversation between Fu Yu and her father-in-law, she already knew the identities of Yan's father and mother. Before she knew that they were her biological parents, they were the kind of people that would be out of her reach for her entire life and she could only look up to them from afar.

At this moment, she was not compromising on money, but on the cautiousness she felt from them, and the worry that they might displease her.

"Lixia is right, if you like it, take it."

"This is the first time your dad and I buy something for you. There's no reason to refuse."

The gifts for the two children were each wrapped in two large boxes. Zhao Heng helped them open them under the children's gaze.

When they saw what was inside, the two little guys jumped for joy.

"Wow, I really like it~"

"Just like it, just like it."

When Qin Lixia saw the gift, her eyes twitched uncomfortably. But seeing the happy expressions of Yan's father and mother and the two children, she didn't say anything.

Since they have bought it, just accept it. It is a token of their thoughtfulness.

After shopping throughout the department store during the day, Yan's mother finally chose a two-wheeled children's bicycle for Zhao Xiaohai and a smaller children's tricycle for Zhao Xiaoyue.

When I was in Beijing before, they also bought gifts for my grandchildren’s birthdays.

Although it is the first time for the grandson and granddaughter to meet, it is natural to arrange it.

"Mom, can I go out and play for a while?"

"No, we're almost ready for dinner, and it's getting dark outside. It's not safe to go out at night. Wait until you and your brother have a day off."

"Oh well."

"Can I put the little car that my grandma gave me in my room to sleep with me today?"

Zhao Xiaoyue touched her new car, unable to let it go and didn't want to separate from it for a moment.

"Sure. Let dad move it back to your room at night and put it next to your bed to sleep with you."

"That's great, thank you mom~"

“Who should you thank?”

"Thank you grandma, thank you grandpa~"

"You are welcome."
