Chapter 121 Talking in one's sleep



Han Bin poured himself a glass of water: "I'm not going to check on the crops, I'm going to check on the people. Everyone's working in the fields right now, so if I want to find someone, I'm sure I can find them there. I can see everyone in our village in one trip. Oh, by the way, the village chief said there's an easy job, and asked if you wanted to do it. I've agreed on your behalf."

Tang Huihui knew that her son didn't want to work too hard, but... easy jobs would earn fewer work points: "Why didn't you discuss it with me before agreeing?"

I'm afraid you won't agree.

"You silly child."

Nao Nao: "Grandma, there are so many crops in the field."

Tengteng: "The brigade is really, really big."

Erniu: "I'm so old, so very old."

In Hanjiazhuang, there lived an elderly man who was Han Bin's great-grandfather's cousin. Han Bin would visit him every time he came back. "You went to see your great-grandfather?"

"Yes. I brought some food to my great-grandfather."

"How is your great-grandfather?"

"Um."

Nao Nao: "Grandma, Great-Grandpa's eyebrows are white."

Tengteng: "Grandma, Great-Grandpa's eyebrows are this long." Tengteng gestured with his hand.

"Yeah?"

Nao Nao: "Yes. Grandma, my dad also took us there..."

That night, Han Bin looked at his two chubby sons sleeping between him and Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, did you already know Mom was coming back? That's why you said that night I could stay upstairs for the next month?" Ten days have passed since then. He wondered if the two little ones would dare to sleep alone when they got back. Han Bin felt increasingly distressed. "Xiaoman, you're so cunning."

"I didn't expect that either."

Han Bin didn't believe it: "You spend every day with your mother. Maybe she already told you that she would come back as soon as I graduated."

Xiaoman smiled and said, "Mother didn't say."

"Even if your mother didn't say it, you could tell. Xiaoman, you're just like a fox."

"So what's your zodiac sign?"

Nao Nao: "Mom, Grandma said Dad was born in the Year of the Pig."

Xiaoman laughed as soon as she heard that.

Han Bin pinched Nao Nao's cheek. What kind of son is this? "You brat, weren't you asleep just now?"

Nao Nao blinked: "I'm awake again."

Han Bin didn't believe him and pinched Nao Nao's cheek again: "You brat, were you pretending to be asleep just now?"

Nao Nao hugged Han Bin's arm: "Hehe..."

Han Bin pinched Tengteng's cheek with his other hand: "Are you pretending to be asleep too, kid?"

Tengteng rolled over and hugged Xiaoman's neck: "Mom, I'm asleep."

Xiaoman hugged Tengteng and said, "Yes, you're asleep."

Han Bin glanced at the mother and son who were lying: "Wang Xiaoman, are you asleep too?"

Tengteng: "Yes, my mom is asleep too."

Nao Nao: "Dad, I'm asleep too."

Han Bin: "Is Dad asleep too?"

Nao Nao: "Yes, Dad's asleep too. Hehe..."

Tengteng: "We're all talking in our sleep."

Han Bin was initially a little annoyed, but after the two little ones made a fuss, he wasn't annoyed at all. "You little rascals, go to sleep. I'll take you to Grandma's house tomorrow."

The next day, after breakfast, Xiaoman and Hanbin prepared to take Naonao and Tengteng back to Xiaoman's parents' home. When Erniu saw this, she thought that Hanbin and Xiaoman were going to take Naonao and Tengteng out to play, so she ran over excitedly: "I want to go too."

Xiaoman smiled and said, "Okay."

Erniu happily grabbed Xiaoman's hand: "Let's go."

"good."

Han Bin shouted into the house: "Mom, let's bring Erniu along too!"

Tang Huihui came out of the house: "Erniu, are you coming too?"

Erniu: "Mmm."

"Then you have to be good when you go."

"Um."

Once outside, Nao Nao asked curiously, "Mom, where is Grandma's house?"

Tengteng: "Is Grandma's house far away?"

Upon hearing "Grandma's house," Erniu stopped walking.

Xiaoman looked at Erniu: "What's wrong?"

Erniu: "Going to Grandma's house?"

Nao Nao: "Yes, we're going to Grandma's house."

Erniu turned around and ran home.

Nao Nao was stunned for a moment: "Mom, why did Er Niu run away?"

Xiaoman: "You'll find out later."

Han Bin looked at Xiaoman: "I'll go back and tell my mother."

"Um."

Just as Tang Huihui was wondering what was going on, Han Bin came in. "Binzi, why is Erniu back? Wasn't she going to Xiaoman's house with you?"

"She came back as soon as she heard she was going to her maternal grandmother's house."

After listening, Tang Huihui called Erniu into the room: "Erniu, let me tell you, not all maternal grandmothers are like your maternal grandmother."

Erniu: "Grandma is bad."

Tang Huihui talked for a long time, but Erniu still didn't understand.

Han Bin: "Mom, Erniu is still young. She'll understand when she grows up."

Tang Huihui glanced at Han Zhuang's room: "I really shouldn't have agreed back then."

Tang Huihui wanted Erniu to go with Han Bin to see the children, explaining that not all grandmothers are bad. But no matter what Tang Huihui said, Erniu refused to go. Tang Huihui had no choice. "Fine, you can go now."

"Then we're leaving."

"Um."

Xiaoman's parents didn't know Xiaoman's family was coming back; they arrived after the family had already gone to work. Xiaoman then went to visit her grandmother, who had also gone to work.

Han Bin told Xiaoman, Naonao, and Tengteng to wait at home while he went to the field to see if he could find them.

When Xiaoman's father saw Han Bin, he thought he was the only one who had returned. Knowing that Naonao, Tengteng, and Xiaoman were also back and could stay for a couple more days, Xiaoman's father immediately asked the team leader for two days' leave. Then he took Han Bin to find Xiaoman's mother and Grandma Wang. They also asked for two days' leave after learning about it.

As soon as Xiaoman's mother and Grandma Wang saw Naonao and Tengteng, they hugged the two little ones tightly. Xiaoman's father wanted to hold them too, but one was his mother and the other was his wife. They wouldn't let go, so he could only watch.

Grandma Wang and Xiaoman's mother hugged and kissed the two little ones for a while before remembering to go inside.

After entering the house, Xiaoman had Naonao and Tengteng kowtow to the three elders.

Xiaoman's father only had a chance to hold the children when Xiaoman's mother went to get them some treats.

A little while later, Xiaoman's mother brought out all the delicious food in the house.

Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Thank you, Grandma."

"Oh, Xiaoman, you've raised your two children so well."

Xiaoman smiled.

Nao Nao took out two handfuls of walnuts from her pocket: "Great-Grandma, Grandma, Grandpa, have some walnuts."

Tengteng also took out two handfuls of candy from his pocket: "Great-Grandma, Grandma, Grandpa, have some candy."

Since the three adults didn't eat, Nao Nao and Tengteng gave each of them a few pieces.

Grandma Wang played with the children for a while and then sat down next to Xiaoman: "How's Xiaohei?"

"good."

Grandma Wang looked at Xiaoman and whispered, "Seven or eight years have passed, how come you haven't changed at all?"

"I have the secret to maintaining my youthful appearance."

Grandma Wang looked at Xiaoman again: "Who exactly were you before?"

Xiaoman smiled. "How have you been these past few years?"

"That's good. Why hasn't Xiao Hei come back? I miss it."

"This time we were short on time and there were a lot of people, including the elderly and children, so we didn't bring Xiao Hei."

"Your dad said you can stay home for two days?"

"Um."

"Then you should take some time to have a good talk with your mother; she's worried sick about you."

Xiaoman looked at her mother: "What's wrong with my mother?"
