Just as I was about to greet Mr. and Mrs. Chen...
Su Xia...
The twins were stunned...
Niu Niu, Da Bao, and Ge Bao were not surprised; instead, they stepped forward and hugged the old leader tightly.
"Grandpa's first battle..."
"Grandpa...I miss you so much!"
Xiao Li... was completely bewildered. "What's going on?"
"How come the villagers are more fashionable than them?"
"Why aren't any of his three children as tall as him?"
Isn't she a woman who has given birth to five children? I've seen military wives in the family compound all the time, but none of them are as good-looking or young as this woman.
"Grandpa Hand...have we really met?"
"Yeah, how come my brother and I don't remember that?"
Ha ha....
Old Man Yi didn't actually wail loudly; his eyes just turned red and water got into them.
After being comforted by Niu Niu, Da Bao, and Ge Bao, I felt much better and quickly got into the car with everyone. Luckily, the car I was driving today was quite large.
Da Bao sat in the front passenger seat, Su Xia and the twins Niu Niu sat in the last row, and Chen's parents and the old man sat in the middle.
This made the elderly couple very embarrassed, and they didn't dare to speak much. Meanwhile, the old man kept chatting and talking about things in the village.
Manman warmed up a bit, "I didn't expect it to get this warm so quickly?"
"Of course! When I went there, my son was only 3 years old, and the two of them weren't even born yet."
One sentence ignited the twins' passion, and they started clinging to the front of the room, asking questions incessantly!
Xiao Li, who was driving, was really curious and asked Da Bao, who was sitting next to him.
"Young man, how old are you this year?"
Da Bao wasn't dissatisfied and politely said, "Uncle, I'm fourteen years old this year, my name is Chen Jin'an! I'll be in the first year of high school when I get back!"
Beep beep....
The sudden turn startled everyone, and Mr. and Mrs. Chen even began to tremble.
"Little Li, what are you doing?" Old Man Yi almost bumped into the twins and yelled irritably.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Xiao Li immediately apologized, "Old sir, I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into a stone!"
"Hmph, watch out!"
"knew!"
Old Man Yi comforted Mr. and Mrs. Chen, "It's alright, the road here isn't finished yet!"
The elderly couple breathed a sigh of relief. "That place is much better than our village!"
Su Xia immediately afterwards
She held onto the twins tightly, so nothing happened to them. Niu Niu stayed close to her mother and wasn't afraid.
Looking out the window, Niu Niu saw rows of buildings and clean, tidy streets—not dirt roads, but cement roads—and her big eyes were full of curiosity as she looked around.
Once the car was stable, Su Xia said to Niu Niu, "Don't look yet, you'll get carsick. Let's wait until tomorrow, Mommy will take you out for a stroll!"
Niu Niu Wenya became excited and obediently nodded.
Seeing Niu Niu like this in the rearview mirror, Xiao Li suddenly blushed.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Xiao Li paused, extremely embarrassed, and didn't dare look at Da Bao. "It's okay, it's hot!"
"Oh, it's very hot here."
Xiao Li nodded, "What did you eat when you were young? How did you grow so tall?"
Recalling that he had just learned he was "14" years old, Xiao Li almost ended his driving career and couldn't help but start listening.
Da Bao smiled proudly, "It's nothing. My mom cooks well, so I eat a lot. When I was growing up, my mom bought me milk powder and ordered milk. I also played ball with my dad when I was growing, and that's how I grew this tall!"
Xiao Li...
They don't sound like a perfect match, but each one on its own is quite remarkable. "Mom's cooking is delicious, so let's make sure we eat our fill. Milk powder and milk?"
Xiao Li shook his head, "He's never seen milk before. His sister-in-law had a baby recently, but she didn't have any breast milk, so they needed milk powder coupons to buy it."
For those six months, we begged and pleaded, and in the end, we only had three bags of milk powder. My nephew used it sparingly, and before he was even three months old, we could only feed him rice cereal.
Glancing at the family in the back seat, the elderly man, though tired, appeared to be in good spirits.
Woman -- I heard the old leader say she's 40 years old (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning).
Xiao Li wanted to park the car right away and smell it clearly. He was sitting next to the girl, and they looked like sisters. He couldn't tell that she was a girl at all.
"Mom, how much longer?" Xiao Bao asked, sounding a little impatient.
"Hungry?" Su Xia guessed immediately.
Xiao Bao nodded, hugged Su Xia, and snuggled his little body into her arms. "Mmm, I'm hungry!"
"Mommy, I'm hungry?" The little girl hugged him.
Holding the twins, Su Xia comforted them, "Wait a moment, we're here, I'll take you to eat!"
"Mom, what do you want to eat?"
"What would you like to eat?"
"It's delicious!" Xiao Bao exclaimed, his eyes shining.
“I’m going!” The little girl raised her tiny fist.
Old Man Yi in the front seat kept grinning, and Xiao Li, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh too.
The child is so sensible and adorable; she's so heartwarming.
After driving for an hour, the car finally entered an alley and stopped in front of a large brown iron gate.
"Su girl, this is your house, and mine is over there!" Old Man Yi got out of the car and pointed to the house next to him, saying happily.
Su Xia nodded and looked at her own house. The gate was large, but a jeep couldn't get in. This was a typical old Sicheng Hutong.
The walls were made of blue bricks, the ground was covered with bricks, and there was a large lock on the iron gate. Xiao Li got out of the car, opened the gate, and finally came back to respectfully hand the lock to Su Xia.
"Sister-in-law, you go in first, I'll get the things!"
Su Xia looked at Da Bao and said, "You and Da Bao move the things!"
Then, filled with curiosity, the twins followed the three elderly people inside.
"This courtyard isn't big, but it's definitely big enough for your family!"
“A friend of mine was going to live with his son in another city, so I just bought it for Jianguo!”
"Brother, thank you so much!" Mr. Chen expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
"Hey--it's nothing. Otherwise, if it were Jianguo, who knows, I might..." Old Man Yi paused, not saying anything. Thinking so much was useless.
"Come on, shall I show you the room?" Old Man Yi led Mr. and Mrs. Chen to see the room.
Su Xia carefully observed her house from behind. The twins, who looked like caged pheasants, had disappeared without a trace.
The courtyard wasn't large, not even as big as the county town, but it had quite a few rooms: four main rooms and three side rooms on the left and right. Su Xia looked them over one by one.
It's not just empty, it's completely empty.
"Mom, where are we staying tonight?" Niu Niu asked, a little worried.
Su Xia shook her head, indicating that the other side should be sufficient, and pointed to the main room.
Sure enough, after the mother and daughter went inside, the three elderly people had already started drinking tea.
"Little Su, there's hot water here, have some first!" Old Man Yi pointed to the thermos.
Su Xia nodded. "Thank you, old chief. Otherwise, if you hadn't packed in advance, we would definitely have had to stay at the guesthouse!"
"I don't like hearing that. Besides, even if I find someone, you and Jianguo will get all the money!"
“Brother, my wife and I thank you on behalf of our children!” Mr. Chen immediately offered his help.
Su Xia went to see the bedrooms; there were two bedrooms in total.
The layout, with the kitchen and living room on either side and in the middle, is acceptable.
Both bedrooms have two large beds. Su Xia chose one, saying, "You can stay here with me!"
Niu Niu nodded. "Mom, what about us?" The twins, covered in sweat, ran in.
Su Xia pointed to the bed, "You guys stay here!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu Niu excitedly climbed onto the bed, "Mom, why is this making a creaking sound?"
Su Xia's lips twitched. "You're jumping around like that. It's a wooden bed, of course it's going to make noise!"
"Mom, the package is here!" Da Bao and Gu Bao came in to deliver something.
"Okay, there's a room over there with two beds. You two take good care of Grandpa and Grandma!"
Da Bao nodded, picked up his and his grandparents' things, and went to another room.
"Mother, there are no blankets here?"
"It's okay, we'll buy it right after we finish eating!"
"By the way, Mom, did we forget something?"
Su Xia was stunned. "What?"
Then, remembering something, she shouted in shock, "Your dad?"
Niu Niu nodded. In the county town, Chen Jianguo looked at the time and saw that it was almost 4:30. He paced anxiously back and forth in his office.
"What's going on? Why aren't they here yet?"
"Wife...Xiaxia...hurry up...!"
When the phone rang, Chen Jianguo's eyes widened, then he rushed over, picked it up, and asked, "Hello...?"
"Jianguo, we've arrived!"
