"Where is my precious granddaughter? Where is she?"
A voice that sounded a bit old but also a bit heroic rang out in the Ling family's yard.
Hearing the sound, everyone in the room was startled, and Ling Hancheng and the others hurried out.
"Mom, why are you back?"
Ling Hancheng's eyes were about to pop out.
He had just realized that he had not received a reply from Beijing City, and was considering whether he should find a way to call and ask if the previous letter was lost and not received at all.
Otherwise it would be impossible not to reply for so long.
But I didn’t expect that Mrs. Ling would come back by herself at this moment!
Mrs. Ling, who is nearly sixty years old, was wearing a gray cotton jacket and a blue-black headscarf on her head, revealing a little bit of white and black hair under the headscarf.
She was full of energy, her back was straight, and she looked very energetic.
"Why did you say I came back?"
Old Mrs. Ling simply let go of her son's arm and went straight into the house. As she walked, she said to her daughter-in-law, "My precious granddaughter is in the house, right? Is she awake now?"
Ling Hancheng, who was thrown down: "..."
Can't he fucking see him?
"grandmother!"
"grandmother!"
Several children greeted him, with surprise in their eyes.
A few days ago, their dad said that their grandma wouldn’t be back soon, but how come she’s home in the blink of an eye!
Old Mrs. Ling did not say hello to her precious grandchildren. At this moment, all her attention was attracted by the red swaddling clothes on the bed.
"Oh my, this must be my precious granddaughter!"
Old Mrs. Ling looked so overjoyed that she immediately took the baby in her arms. She couldn't help but touch and look at the baby from left to right, muttering to herself:
How can it be so beautiful!
The eyes are so bright, they look so lively!
The skin is so white, like a peeled egg!
Chu Yuefang was a little worried about Mrs. Ling's attitude at first. After all, the child was not their biological child, and she was afraid that Mrs. Ling would not like him that much.
Now it seems that my worries were in vain.
Chu Yuefang: I feel like there's another person trying to steal my daughter...
"Grandma, grandma, my sister is so pretty and cute!" Ling Li said impatiently.
Ling Lin and Ling Sen also echoed.
The younger sister is really the most beautiful and cutest sister they have ever seen!
Old Mrs. Ling was also very enthusiastic towards her grandchildren, holding the little baby and responding to them warmly.
Ling Hancheng was simply helpless.
"Mom! Didn't you see me?"
"mom!"
"Fang, how's the child eating... Why are you yelling?" Old Mrs. Ling glared at her son impatiently, "Can't you see I'm talking to your wife? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ling Hancheng just wanted to ask his mother why she came back suddenly, but not only did he not get an answer, he was scolded instead. He felt that he had no place to complain.
Ling Hancheng rubbed his temple helplessly: "Mom, what I'm telling you is also serious business! Aren't you with big brother? Why did you come back suddenly? I wrote to you before..."
"What else can I say? You just wrote a letter to settle such a big matter!"
Talking about this old lady Ling makes me angry.
Having a little granddaughter in the family was such a big deal, but the son disappeared after just one letter. The letter only mentioned the child briefly and only focused on asking about milk powder.
This made Old Lady Ling want to know what the child was like, but she had no way of knowing.
The eldest son advised Mrs. Ling that they could see the child when they went back together before the New Year, but Mrs. Ling was worried all day and couldn't calm down.
Ling Hanwen had to go to work and couldn't accompany the old lady back, but Ling Hanwen and his wife couldn't stop the old lady, so they could only buy her a train ticket back.
"I can't stand it any longer. Come back and see my precious granddaughter!" Old Mrs. Ling said to Chu Yuefang, "Fang, this child is really great. I'll have to thank your sister again later."
"I gave her half a pound of bacon before..."
"That won't do. It's too little. It wasn't easy for her to brave such a strong snowstorm to deliver it!" Old Lady Ling said unhappily. "I came back in a hurry, so I don't bring much. Just some snacks and canned food. I'll send them to your sister later."
Chu Yuefang wanted to say that there was no need to be so polite to her sister, but since Mrs. Ling had made the decision, she could only nod and agree.
Mother and daughter-in-law were talking animatedly, and Ling Hancheng, who was thrown aside again, didn't know what to say.
"Mom, you shouldn't have come back so hastily. It's almost Chinese New Year, and you can still go to Big Brother's place..."
"Why should I go now? I've come back and I don't want to go back!" Old Mrs. Ling said, "There are so many things to do at home, and there's a little baby here. I have to help Fang'er take care of the child. Your eldest brother doesn't need me for anything."
Ling Hancheng was speechless.
It was because his elder brother didn't need the old lady to do anything that he sent her there, and now she's back just like that.
However, given Old Lady Ling's personality, Ling Hancheng knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law would definitely not be able to persuade him.
Forget it, since I’m coming back, I might as well come back.
There was no way he could send his mother back.
"Now that you're back, I just want to tell you that Fang and I are planning to hold a banquet for Xiao Linglong on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month..."
"What! Look at you! You didn't even mention such a big thing to me in the letter!" Old Mrs. Ling said anxiously, "If you hadn't told me, I would have missed it. How could I, as a grandmother, not show up at the banquet?"
At this moment, Old Lady Ling really wanted to beat her son up. He wrote a letter that said almost nothing except that he had a little girl at home.
Only now did she know the child's name!
Seeing that Mrs. Ling was about to lose her temper with her child's father, Chu Yuefang quickly started to coax her: "Mom, I didn't mean to hide this from you. Hancheng was just too excited to have this daughter, so it's inevitable that he forgot things. Please don't be angry with him!"
Old Madam Ling only took her anger out on her own son, but her attitude towards her daughter-in-law Chu Yuefang was completely different. Her expression softened a lot after hearing what she said.
"Hmph, so what if you know a lot of words? You don't know how to use them at the critical moment." Old Mrs. Ling glanced at her son.
What else can Ling Hancheng do in the face of his old mother's accusations?
He could do nothing but smile and apologize helplessly.
Old Mrs. Ling was not very interested in his apology. She just waved her hand and told him to go wherever he wanted. She talked to Chu Yuefang about the banquet.
Ling Hancheng: ...
