Old Mrs. Ling and the others were also shocked when they saw Old Mr. Ling and his wife suddenly appear in the yard.
"Why didn't you tell me you were back?"
Although Mrs. Ling's words seemed to be a complaint, she was actually very surprised.
Bao Fengmin smiled and said, "You are so anxious to come back to see your granddaughter, how can we not be anxious to see our niece? We adjusted our schedule and rushed back."
Ling Hanwen also said: "Let's just stay until after the Chinese New Year and then go back."
Mrs. Ling was happy, but she didn't want to show it too obviously. She said, "You guys came back so suddenly without any preparation. And there are children. How can they be okay over there? Why don't you bring them back?"
"The second child has a slight cold, and I was afraid that he would get cold again on the way back, so I just let them stay there. My parents will take care of them, so you don't have to worry." Bao Fengmin said.
"That'll do."
Old Mrs. Ling nodded.
She had met Bao Fengmin's parents. They were both easy to get along with and their family conditions were indeed better. It would be nice for the two grandsons to spend the New Year with their grandparents.
What's more, the Bao family only has one daughter, Bao Fengmin. Bao Fengmin followed Ling Hanwen back to Huaihe Village to celebrate the New Year. The Bao family would be very lonely during the New Year. Old Mrs. Ling would have nothing to say if she gave her two grandsons to them.
"Brother, sister-in-law!"
Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang also greeted them with a smile. Ling Hancheng quickly took the bag from his eldest brother's hand and put it into the house, while pouring water for the two of them.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you have worked hard on the journey, even in such a cold day." Chu Yuefang poured hot water over. They were preparing food right now, so hot water was readily available.
Ling Hanwen, who was always quiet, nodded to his sister-in-law. Bao Fengmin smiled and said, "It's not hard. We are also anxious to see our niece. Where is the child?"
This is the second time the couple has come back this year. The last time was when Ling Xiaowu hosted a banquet, but unfortunately they left in a hurry after only staying for two days.
That time, Bao Fengmin comforted Chu Yuefang by saying that not having a daughter was fate and there was nothing she could do about it. But now, there is a little girl in the family.
Although she is not my biological child, having a girl is definitely better than having no girl at all.
Bao Fengmin also really wanted to see this little girl as soon as possible.
Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang were busy preparing food, while Old Mrs. Ling took her eldest son and daughter-in-law to the main hall.
When the two saw Old Man Jin, they greeted him first. Lu Kelan and his wife were not strangers to him.
Anyway, those who can enter the Ling family's main hall must be acquaintances.
"Uncle, aunt!"
Ling Mu and the others greeted Ling Hanwen immediately when they saw him.
Ling Hanwen saw that his nephews' expressions were much softer than before, and he smiled as well. He patted the eldest nephew on the shoulder and said, "Ling Mu has grown taller again. He looks like a big boy now."
Ling Hanwen and his wife were busy working in Beijing before, so they didn't have a child so early. They had their own child two years after Ling Mu was born, so this was their only nephew before, and he was always the closest to them, and their relationship with him was the most special.
Of course, it may also be because Ling Mu’s personality is most similar to Ling Hanwen.
Ling Hancheng is gentle and polite, Chu Yuefang is straightforward, and Ling Mu is particularly silent, which is exactly the same as Ling Hanwen.
People always like people who are similar to themselves. After all, even Ling Hanwen’s own son is more like Bao Fengmin than him.
So even though he had his own son, Ling Hanwen still had different feelings for his nephew.
Ling Mu smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard his uncle's words.
"Uncle, you and aunt came back really early this time. I thought you wouldn't be able to come until the New Year."
In the past, when Old Lady Ling went to Beijing to spend the winter, she would not come back together until the 27th or 28th of the twelfth lunar month. This year, Old Lady Ling left late and came back early, and Ling Hanwen and his wife also came early.
"Come and see your sister early." Ling Hanwen said.
At this moment, Bao Fengmin had already picked up Xiao Linglong, and she was very happy in her heart.
"This child is so adorable. His eyes are so charming that they can melt my heart..."
Bao Fengmin has always wanted a daughter, but she didn't get her wish. Old Mrs. Ling said there was nothing she could do, as the Ling family might be destined to only have sons.
Bao Fengmin didn't actually have much hope for this adopted child, mainly because she thought that since the child was abandoned, there might be some problems. Now it seems that the child really has no problems at all. It seems that ordinary families may not be able to give birth to such a good-looking child.
How could you bear to abandon a child like this!
It's really incredible.
When Ling Hanwen heard what his wife said, he also looked over, and was immediately met with a pair of dark eyes, which were like the most crystal clear glass beads, reflecting everyone's appearance brightly.
Ling Hanwen couldn't help but reach out his hand.
"What's the matter? You want a hug too?" Bao Fengmin couldn't help but find it a little funny when she saw her husband's look.
Seeing that his wife was reluctant to hand the child to him, Ling Hanwen's face turned slightly red.
Only then did Bao Fengmin hand the child over.
Ling Hanwen didn't dare to stand, so he sat down with the child in his arms, letting the child sit on his lap, which felt more stable.
Bao Fengmin also realized that her husband really liked the child. After all, her husband always felt that boys should not be pampered, so he rarely held the child, including Ling Mu, his beloved nephew, whom he had only held twice before.
This is quite rare nowadays.
Although little Linglong had never seen Ling Hanwen, she didn't cry or make a fuss when he held her in his arms. She played with her toys quietly, occasionally looking up and blinking at Ling Hanwen.
Ling Hanwen's usually cold and hard facial lines now seemed to be melting.
Bao Fengmin hurriedly took the bag they brought and untied it to reveal the things inside.
Every time the couple came over, they would bring things for Ling Hancheng's children, and this time was no exception.
But this time I brought more things.
"I brought a few fashionable skirts for Xiao Linglong from Beijing. She can wear them when she's older. Mom, take a look and see if they look good on her!"
Bao Fengmin took out one and showed it to Old Lady Ling.
I found this after searching many stores before coming here. Little kids rarely go out in winter, so there is no point in preparing any clothes. So Bao Fengmin simply bought a little skirt that can be worn when it is warm.
Old Mrs. Ling took it. The fabric was very smooth to the touch and the color looked very bright. It was not the gray and blue material that is common nowadays. There were some small flower patterns embroidered on it, and the pink beige color was very eye-catching.
"It looks good, really good. I can wear it when the weather gets warmer!" said Mrs. Ling happily.
Bao Fengmin also took out a small furry blanket in a bright red color with a pattern of a little girl embroidered on it.
"This is new from Beijing. Last time I told you to wait two days for this. Look how soft it is! It's perfect as a mattress or a quilt for little Linglong!"
