Chapter 547 Happy Yet Unhappy
If her granddaughter could rank first in the whole school at a young age, and was fair-skinned, sensible, and filial, she would definitely cherish her like the apple of her eye.
Ma Xiulian replied amiably, "Okay, I'll come when I have time!"
Chen Honghong said, "Mom, sit down for a while. I'll go get Changwen and Changwu a couple of changes of clothes."
Ma Xiulian nodded, sat down, drank a couple of sips of water, and then cuddled her granddaughter for a while.
A short while later, Chen Honghong came out of the house after finishing packing: "Mom, everything's ready. I'll see you downstairs."
"Mother-in-law, I need to watch the child, so I won't see you off." Old Mrs. Lin was holding her granddaughter tightly, unable to let go of her arms.
Ma Xiulian said cheerfully, "No need, I'm leaving now, my dear in-law."
Chen Honghong saw the three people downstairs, put the cloth bag on the sled, and told her two sons to go to their maternal grandmother's house to settle down.
However, Changwen and Changwu were so excited about riding a sled for the first time that they touched and rubbed against it, completely ignoring what she was saying.
Before leaving, Ma Xiulian gave a special reminder: "Honghong, don't forget about Lao Si's matter!"
"You can rest assured and leave this to me! I'll talk to Xiuwen when he gets back tonight!" Chen Honghong assured him, patting her chest.
This concerns her fourth brother's future happiness, so she definitely has to keep it in mind.
Ma Xiulian nodded and said, "Then we're leaving."
After saying that, he tugged on the rope, and Big White took off running.
After arriving home, Ma Xiulian was afraid that the introduction might not work out because the other party wouldn't be interested in Lao Si's conditions, so she didn't tell her family.
He had been waiting for news from Chen Honghong, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to talk about it once he had some information.
The twins were clingy to the baby from the moment they arrived, but since they didn't cry or fuss, Helian Jiao didn't mind having two little tails following her around.
Gu Tingyun didn't like others bothering Guaibao, not even Guaibao's younger brothers, but thinking that the twins would only be visiting for a few days, she decided to put up with it.

On the weekend, Chen Jianjun took a day off and went to town early in the morning by sled to pick up a letter. He also took the opportunity to send the twins, whom he had been playing with for a few days, back home.
When I came back, I brought back a large piece of mutton: "The supply and marketing cooperative happened to have two sheep for sale today, and I happened to come across them, so I bought some."
"Daddy is awesome!" Helian Jiao skipped and hopped forward, her little voice rising at the end, clearly very happy.
The commune hardly ever sells mutton, and there are no wild goats in the mountains either.
So the little princess still craves lamb.
Chen Jianjun grinned, his originally rugged face softening and even appearing a little silly.
His daughter praised him!
Ma Xiulian was also very happy, but she was also worried about the money, as mutton was much more expensive than pork!
But seeing how happy my granddaughter was, I instantly felt that the money was well spent!
She took the mutton from Chen Jianjun and took it to the kitchen to prepare, planning to cook a pot of it for lunch.
After Chen Jianjun washed his hands thoroughly, he saw his little girl being picked up: "Come on, let's go for a sled ride!"
He finally had time to take his daughter on a sleigh ride!
Fortunately, that brat Gu Tingyun isn't here today, so no one will be competing with him for his daughter's attention.
Even though he knew the other person was just a little kid, Chen Jianjun, who loved his daughter dearly, still felt a little annoyed and jealous.
"Daddy, what's wrong? You seem happy but not happy at the same time," Helian Jiao suddenly asked in her childish voice.
Although Chen Jianjun acted as usual, the little princess could easily sense his conflicted and heavy emotions.
