Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua felt indescribably proud of their daughter, who was so domineering at such a young age.
I think Han Zhenyu and his wife have done a great job in educating their children.
Chenchen asked Yuan Haoran to support Grandma Du. He picked up the sled on the ground and said to Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua, "Dad, Mom, it's too cold here. Let's go home first."
The two smiled and nodded. Jiang Shaoting looked at the man who had just kicked Xuanxuan and said calmly, "Comrade, you should also be from this village. The child accidentally touched you. Is it necessary to use such a cruel blow?"
Although his tone was gentle, people nearby could hear the dissatisfaction and blame in his words.
At this time, Wu Heping also closed the car door and walked over. He was wearing a neat military uniform and a military coat on the outside, looking very imposing.
The man who had fought with An An and the others was already feeling guilty. Seeing so many people and seeing them driving in military uniforms, he quickly explained, "I just kicked them lightly. I didn't dare to use too much force, but I was beaten up by those kids instead."
He also felt aggrieved. He was bumped by Xuanxuan and beaten by several kids. He couldn't fight back. He felt depressed just thinking about it.
Wu Heping also saw what happened just now. He checked Xuanxuan first to see if he was injured, then said to the man:
Fortunately, the child is fine, otherwise Han Zhenyu would have spared you. You are such a grown-up, why are you arguing with a child? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Wu Heping saw the man lower his head in shame, and then asked Grandma Du with a smile, "Old lady, is Zhenyu at home today?"
"He and my grandson's wife went to the city." Grandma Du said with a smile: "Let's go home and talk. It's warm at home."
"Okay, let's listen to the old man." Wu Heping said.
The river was still some distance from Han Zhenyu's home. Wu Heping and Jiang Shaoting helped Grandma Du to the car. They also carried An An, the twins, and Tian Tian up, and the rest of the people had to walk.
Wu Heping was driving and listening to the curious chatter of several children behind him.
He held the steering wheel in silence.
Wu Heping only found out today that his cousin's two children had been fostered in Han Zhenyu's home for the past few years.
But he knew nothing about it.
Every time Gu Fangxun came, Wu Heping asked him about the whereabouts of his two children. He only said that they were safe, but never revealed a single detail to him.
Wu Heping felt very unhappy because it was his aunt and uncle who helped him get a job when he joined the army.
When something happened in my aunt's family, she immediately cut off relations with all her relatives for fear of implicating them, and there was no news of them afterwards.
But his cousin's child was clearly in Nanping County, but he only found out about it today.
Wu Heping smiled bitterly.
Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua arrived in Nanping County in the morning and appeared in his office. He then learned that everyone in his aunt's family had resumed work.
This time, the cousin came to pick up the child from Han Zhenyu's house. He also explained why he didn't tell him about this.
The cousin said that he was afraid of bringing trouble to them, but Wu Heping knew that it was mostly because of his somewhat snobbish wife.
Wu Heping sighed and glanced at An An who was sitting in the back.
The little girl was well-bred, wearing a knee-length cotton jacket and leather boots, which were very fashionable.
She had a red scarf around her neck and a military green cotton hat on her head, which was better than what the girls in the city wore.
Wu Heping thought of how fiercely she had fought just now, and how the three children in Han Zhenyu's family were divided into older and younger sisters. He knew that Chenchen and Anan had not suffered any bullying here, otherwise they would not have developed such personalities.
………
Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua held their son's hands tightly and listened to Chenchen talk about his life in the past few years and his and Anan's studies.
When they arrived near Han Zhenyu's house, they smelled a strong aroma of meat coming from the yard.
Yuan Haoran sniffed and said, "It smells so good."
Chenchen said happily: "Grandpa braised pig's head and pig's trotters today, and there are many delicious dishes. You can eat more later."
He smiled and said to Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua, "Dad, Mom, you should also try my great-grandfather's cooking. Uncle Han and Aunt Su said that my great-grandfather's braised pig head is the most delicious. We all like it very much."
Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua looked at their sensible son, nodded happily, and followed him into the house.
The couple looked around the yard. The high walls made it look very safe.
The yard was clean and tidy. There were two jujube trees next to it, with a swing frame hanging in the middle. The snow was swept clean, so it must be where the children often played.
"Chenchen's parents are here, please come in and sit down." Grandpa Du came out of the kitchen and invited them in.
Jiang Shaoting quickly walked up to him and held his hand, "Grandpa, thank you and grandma for your hard work over the years."
Grandpa Du smiled and waved his hands, "It's not hard, it's not hard, Chenchen and An'an are both good children, we love them so much."
Grandma Du had already poured the tea. She lifted the curtain of the main room and waved to the people in the yard, "Come in quickly. It's warm inside."
Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua followed him to the main hall, and were surrounded by a warm air. The pores on their bodies opened instantly, and they felt very comfortable.
The main room was very spacious, with a row of cabinets in front and a large table in the middle. Next to it was a set of simple sofas with a few small square pillows on them, which should be used as backrests.
"Dad, Mom, take off your clothes." Chenchen and Yuan Haoran quickly took off their cotton jackets and hung them on the hanger next to them.
"Okay." Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua also hung their coats on it.
An An took out peanuts and melon seeds from the cupboard, put them in a plate each, and also put another plate of hawthorn strips and fried dough twists.
She put the snacks on the table and glanced at Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua. After a while of hesitation, she whispered, "Dad, Mom, please sit down."
"Okay, okay." After hearing what their daughter said, the couple quickly sat down at the table, looking at the two children without blinking.
Wu Heping looked at them with amusement, and deliberately asked An An jokingly, "An An, do you know who I am?"
"Didn't you just say that you are my cousin?" An An said, grabbing a handful of melon seeds and giving them to him. "Uncle, try these melon seeds. They were fried by my great-grandmother. They are so delicious."
"Oh, An An is so smart." Wu Heping smiled and touched her head.
An An bit her lip and raised her chin, saying with a hint of pride, "My Aunt Su and my great-grandmother said that I am the smartest child in the family."
Chenchen and the twins curled their lips and said in unison: "Tsk..."
An An glared and looked at the three of them unkindly.
Chenchen was not afraid of her and even snorted provocatively.
But it was different for the twins. When they saw their sister was angry, they realized that they had forgotten to think before speaking.
Haohao and Xuanxuan both hugged her tightly and acted coquettishly. Xuanxuan said sweetly:
"Sister, we are not saying that you are not smart. What we mean is that you are not only the smartest child in our family, but also the smartest child in our village."
Haohao also nodded in agreement, "Sister, what Xuanxuan said is true. Mom said that Teacher Wei at school praised you for being smart, good at studying, and well behaved. He likes you very much."
