Fortunately, Qiao Yunsong lived in this old man's house and met an elder like him who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Qiao Xinyi didn't accuse Qiao Yunsong of speaking in the wrong way like a patriarch. He had his own way of getting along with each other, which Qiao Xinyi found very interesting.
When the two returned home, Qiao Lai Di was already there, she was the only one there.
Qiao Lai Di was so happy to see Qiao Yunsong coming in that she stood up and called out, "Yunsong!"
When Qiao Laidi found out that Qiao Ye was Qiao Yunsong, her mood was very complicated.
Even though she and Qiao Yunsong are cousins, Chen Yubing rarely brings the child back to the Qiao family's old house, and because she is a money-losing daughter, her parents rarely take her to visit.
Whenever her family came to visit during the holidays, she would always stay at home to do housework.
Someone had to wash the clothes at home, feed the two chickens kept in the corner of the yard, and clean the house, so Qiao Lai Di saw Qiao Yunsong only two or three times before he disappeared.
These two or three times were when Qiao Yunsong was still in her second aunt's arms and had not yet been weaned, so when Qiao Lai Di saw Qiao Ye, she didn't even recognize that he was Qiao Yunsong.
But no matter what, it was not as complicated as when she found out that Qiao Yunsong was sold by her grandmother, parents and others.
I never expected the truth, and I was shocked.
The news has now spread, and even her husband asked her about it after coming home from get off work, saying that it has spread in his workplace as well.
Of course, Qiao Lai Di was not a fool, she understood exactly what her husband meant by his words and expressions when he came back, and she also saw the look in her husband's eyes that seemed to want to say something but was hesitant when she left.
But Qiao Lai Di didn't care and pretended not to see it.
Neither her Aunt Chen nor Qiao Xinyi's siblings had ever confused her family with Qiao Laidi's.
In Aunt Chen's family, Qiao Laidi is an independent individual and has nothing to do with the entire Qiao family.
"Yunsong, this is your eldest cousin, cousin Lai Di. I wonder if you still remember her." Chen Yubing introduced her while taking the luggage from Qiao Yunsong, muttering why there were so few things.
Then she asked, "Yunsong, can I open it and take a look? I'll see if I need anything so I can prepare it for you as soon as possible."
Qiao Yunsong was stunned for a moment and then nodded immediately, "Look, Mom."
Qiao Xinyi smiled and said, "I like this most about my mom. She will ask us before touching our things, unlike other moms who just do whatever they say."
Even Liu Guilan was like that. Li Xiuying got angry several times because of this.
Later, Liu Guilan got to know Chen Yubing. When she came to Chen's house, she found that Chen Yubing would ask the child before touching his things, and would only touch them after the child agreed. Liu Guilan was shocked at the time.
It was Chen Yubing who persuaded her, saying that children were grown up and had their own privacy, and that adults could not do whatever they wanted. Only then did Liu Guilan try her best to change.
As they were talking, Qiao Yunbai came running back with his schoolbag on his back.
"I heard my brother is back!" Qiao Yunbai's voice was so loud that it almost broke the eardrums of several people in the family.
"Yes, your brother is back." Chen Yubing and Qiao Yunsong were in the room. When she heard Qiao Yunbai's voice, she called him in.
Qiao Yunbai rushed into the room carrying his schoolbag and saw the boy in the room who was much taller than him.
"This is my brother?" Qiao Yunbai threw his schoolbag on the table and ran over to hug him. "Welcome home, my brother! I really dream about your return!"
Qiao Yunbai was so excited that he hugged someone and jumped up and down. "When I got back to the family compound, Grandma Liu told me that my brother was back. I ran downstairs in one breath, for fear that Grandma Liu was teasing me."
"Yunbai, from now on your brother will sleep in the same room with you, and mom will get you another bed tomorrow." Chen Yubing said.
"Brother, I'm willing to sleep in the same bed." Qiao Yunbai didn't resist at all, and was even happy to share his bed.
"That won't work. It's more comfortable for each of you to sleep in a bed. You two are too different in size." Chen Yubing smiled and Qiao Yunsong whispered,
"Mom, you said, I've also bought a small courtyard. I've saved money over the past few years, and when the time comes to rebuild it, I'll build a five-and-a-half-story house. You and your sister will each have a floor. Then you don't have to worry about getting married in the future. Each of you will have your own big room, and you can buy any size bed you want."
"I'll save it with my mother." Qiao Yunsong felt as if there was a fire burning gently in his heart, slowly warming his whole body.
"No, Mom will get a raise next year." Chen Yubing just wanted to give as much as possible to each child and didn't want to ask for anything from them.
As a mother, you love your children so much that you are only afraid of giving them too little. Why would you be afraid of your children asking for too much?
Chen Yubing helped Qiao Yunsong pack up and went out to make dumplings. Qiao Yunbai was a very outgoing and sociable person. He had never been shy when Qiao Xinyi first came back. He had been looking forward to going home, and now that his brother had finally come back, he was even less shy.
The two brothers were chatting in the room, and no one knew what they were talking about. After a while, the sound of Qiao Yunbai's laughter came from the room.
For Qiao Yunsong, this family was just like what Qiao Xinyi said, waiting for him to come back at any time, so he integrated into the family as soon as he came back, without feeling uncomfortable or excluded.
Knowing that Aunt Chen's family was reuniting tonight, Qiao Lai Di helped prepare dinner and then left without saying she would not stay no matter what. Not long after Qiao Lai Di left, Fu Bailu arrived with her two children.
The two children recognized Qiao Ye at the first sight, and when Chen Yubing taught them to call Yunsong uncle, their two pairs of round eyes widened.
"So he's my uncle too~" Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu exclaimed in unison.
"Xiao Zhou and Xiao Yu have met Yunsong several times." Qiao Xinyi touched the heads of the two children, "Yes, he is also an uncle. Uncle Yunsong is aunt's older brother."
Fu Bailu took Chen Yubing's hand and kept congratulating her. Chen Yubing took all the congratulations first, and then replied with a smile, "I want to congratulate Sister Fu too. We are happy. Your family is also going to have a baby. Xinyi is pregnant."
Fu Bailu was smiling even more so that her brows were relaxed and her mouth was wide open.
"So soon? Oh my, it's really good news!" Fu Bailu quickly turned around to check on Qiao Xinyi and asked about her health and whether she felt unwell anywhere.
After hearing Qiao Xinyi say that she had been to the hospital and was not feeling unwell, Fu Bailu asked again, "Did Qingshan say that?"
Qiao Xinyi shook her head. "It's hard to contact him because he's in closed training. I plan to tell him in person when I get to Beijing and give him a surprise."
"Then, let's not tell him for now. You two can talk to him yourselves." Fu Bailu agreed happily.
A big pot of steaming dumplings, a pot of chicken soup and a plate of braised fish, this meal was as sumptuous as Chinese New Year.
"It's a pity that Lily went to school and Qingshan went to Beijing, otherwise our family would be reunited today." Chen Yubing served a bowl of chicken soup to Qiao Yunsong and Qiao Xinyi, "You are the ones in this family who need to be nourished the most."
