After getting off the bus back in town, Guo Jianping and his wife did not stay in the town, nor did they go to Deng Qingling's parents' home to give holiday gifts.
Instead, I went straight home. It was inconvenient to visit relatives with so many things on my back, as there would be too many people around.
They didn't meet many people on the way back. When they saw that there was no one around, Deng Qingling would hold Guo Jianping's hand. When she heard any movement, she would quickly let go and move a few steps away.
If this happened in modern times, it would be very normal for men and women to walk hand in hand!
Now they are obviously husband and wife, but they have to be secretive even when holding hands, as if they are having an affair.
You know what, this sneaky thing feels pretty good, even a little bit exciting.
When they returned to the village entrance, they saw some children squatting on the side of the road playing.
When Guo Haochen looked up, he accidentally saw his father and mother coming back together, and exclaimed in surprise: "Mom and Dad are back!"
After saying that, he stood up and ran towards them. When the twins saw their eldest brother running away, they also followed him.
"Dad." Guo Haochen tugged at the corner of Guo Jianping's clothes. "Are you coming back for the holidays?"
"Yes." Guo Jianping said as he touched his prickly hair.
"Dad~" Guo Ning ran over happily with a baby voice and hugged Guo Jianping's thighs, "Dad, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"
"Dad misses Huanhuan too." Guo Jianping said as he bent down and picked up Guo Ninghuan.
At this time, Guo Haoxi also arrived at the battlefield. Seeing Guo Jianping holding Guo Ninghuan, he also rushed to hug him and asked Guo Ninghuan to come down, saying that it was his turn.
When Guo Ninghuan heard this, he immediately put his arms around Guo Jianping's neck and refused to get down.
Then, the war of words between the brother and sister started again.
Hearing that their words were getting more and more outrageous, Guo Jianping had no choice but to put down the backpack and let Deng Qingling carry it home. He squatted down and let Guo Haoxi climb onto his back.
In this way, Guo Jianping walked home with a child on his back and a child in his arms.
When Guo Haochen saw the twins like this, he felt lost and listless.
I really want my dad to carry me on his back, but he can't carry three kids.
When Deng Qingling saw Guo Haochen like this, how could she not know what he was thinking!
After putting the backpack on her back, Deng Qingling opened her arms to him and said, "Come, let Mommy carry you home."
The disappointment in Guo Haochen's heart disappeared instantly, and he happily threw himself into Deng Qingling's arms, "Mom."
Deng Qingling picked up Guo Haochen and put their heads together, cheek to cheek, and said, "Let's go home too."
"Yeah." Guo Haochen responded and leaned his head on Deng Qingling's shoulder.
When they returned home, the twins were still clinging to Guo Jianping, one sitting on his lap and chattering away.
As soon as he entered the house, Deng Qingling put Guo Haochen down, and then he went to bother his father.
Deng Qingling went to the kitchen, put down the backpack, and then brought out the food.
There weren't any good dishes, just corn soup with dried bamboo shoots, and corn and multi-grain rice.
Deng Qingling set the table and said, "Jianping, come and eat first!"
"I'll be right there." Guo Jianping first agreed to Deng Qingling, then turned to the children and said, "I'll play with you after Dad finishes his meal!"
"Okay." After saying that, the twins jumped off their father's lap.
Guo Jianping and his friends were eating, and the children were watching them.
Guo Jianping had no choice but to drink three bowls of corn soup in big gulps before putting down his bowl and chopsticks.
When the other children saw that he had finished eating, they took him out for a stroll.
Deng Qingling saw them going out to play, so she cleaned up the dishes, put everything in place, and then went back to the house to take a nap.
She slept until the evening, and when she got up, Guo Jianping was already preparing dinner.
Deng Qingling walked to the kitchen door and saw his busy figure. She sighed in her heart again. No wonder people say that men who cook are the most handsome. It is true.
"You're awake! The water in the back kitchen is hot, go give the child a bath." Guo Jianping turned around and saw Deng Qingling standing at the door, and said hurriedly.
The water was almost boiling, but he, a grown man with clumsy hands and feet, didn't know how to bathe a child.
"Okay, you scoop out the water! I'll go get some clothes." After Deng Qingling said that, she went back to the house to get the child's clothes.
After getting the clothes, Deng Qingling stood at the door of the main hall and shouted. The children playing on the roadside heard their mother calling them home and immediately ran home.
"Huanhuan, sit for a while. I'll give your brother a bath first." After Deng Qingling said that, she stripped Guo Haoxi naked. Guo Haochen took off his clothes himself, and then the two brothers went into the bathtub to take a bath together.
By the time Deng Qingling finished bathing the children, the meal was ready.
As soon as he finished dinner, Guo Jianping said that he would be able to stay at home for a few days this time. On the 16th, he would take a bus to the Guangzhou headquarters. He might have to work there for a month or two before coming back. When he arrived, he would write back to report his safety and asked his family to write or call him if there was anything.
"Guangzhou? That's quite far away. I'm unfamiliar with the place and don't know what the people there are like or whether it's easy to get along with them." Liang Xueying said.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm being taken care of by someone I know. Besides, I'm going there to work, not for anything else. Don't worry." Guo Jianping said.
Deng Qingling didn't say anything when she heard this. She quietly cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
Seeing that everyone was chatting in the main room, Deng Qingling secretly squeezed a little detergent onto the loofah, quickly washed the pots and pans, and then scooped water back into the house to take a shower.
After taking a bath, Deng Qingling did not go to the main room to chat. After making the bed for Guo Jianping, she asked the twins to go back to the room to sleep.
After the twins fell asleep, Deng Qingling also fell asleep.
"Stop talking about it. It's getting late. Let's take a shower and go back to the room to sleep." Liang Xueying said.
Liang Xueying went back to the house and spoke to Guo Youxing again. Guo Youxing said, "Don't think too much about it. Are you worried about Jianping's work? He's already a father of three children. He knows what he should do. Just relax."
After Guo Jianping returned to the room, he saw Deng Qingling and the twins sleeping soundly. He carried the twins to another bed, took off his clothes, blew out the lights, and lay down next to Deng Qingling.
Perhaps sensing a familiar breath, Deng Qingling leaned over unconsciously, put her hands on his waist, rested her head on his shoulder, rubbed it, adjusted her posture and continued to sleep.
In the darkness, Guo Jianping gently pushed Deng Qingling and found that she was still sleeping like a pig without any movement.
Forget it, there is no meat to eat, so I might as well go to sleep!
Finally, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
