"Mother...Mother...have you come back?"
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
When Bao Bao finally met Xu Duo's parents whom he had never met.
Chen Jianguo looked around as his two sons surrounded him, calling out "Mother...Mother...", while a gust of wind blew across the room, and not a single leaf remained.
Su Xia hugged each of them, then remembered the bicycle and looked up to meet the man's resentful face.
Pfft...
"Mom, we'll help you!" Bao Bao didn't care about her old father's feelings at all and used all her strength to push the bicycle from behind.
Help Su Xia push the cart.
Su Xia gave Chen Jianguo a smug look, then quietly walked past him.
Chen Jianguo was left standing there, bewildered. He glanced at his own bag, which was clearly two sizes larger than Su Xia's.
The two brats only managed to call him "Dad," making me grit my teeth and think, "They want a beating!"
When Su Xia arrived at the entrance of the Chen family's house, Chen's parents, who had heard the commotion, also ran out.
When Chen's mother saw that it really was Su Xia, she excitedly said, "That little rascal, she woke us up this morning, saying you were definitely coming back today..."
"You're really coming back?"
Chen's father took the car from him and said, "Just give it to me. Where's Jianguo?"
"Su Xia let go!" There were even more over there!
"Oh, that's alright, you can go in now!" Mr. Chen didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Jianguo behind me—Dad, I'm here!
Su Xia's baby was standing next to her, and Chen's mother held her hand, repeatedly asking, "Are you tired?"
"Mom, I'm not tired!" Chen's mother glanced at Chen Jianguo. "You're alright. You even remembered to bring things for me when we went out!"
Su Xia pfft...
Chen Jianguo – “I’m truly wronged! You could have at least asked, why did you say ‘놛’?”
"Dad, why don't you ask me anything when you see me?" Chen Jianguo pointed the finger at his father.
Then he received a glare and a retort: "You used to go out and cause us trouble!"
Then, with a disdainful smirk, he said, "Hurry up, stop dawdling!"
Chen Jianguo....
In the living room, Su Xia finally took off her coat, hat, and gloves, and Chen's mother helped her with her clothes.
He kept muttering, "Skinny...dark-skinned..."
Upon hearing this, Su Xia smiled and said, "Mother, have some water first!"
Su Xia took the cup from Niu Niu and downed half of it in one gulp.
"Oh dear... slow down, slow down...!" Chen's mother felt sorry for him. Riding a bicycle with so many things on the back, how could he not be tired?
Seeing Chen Jianguo carrying things home, he said irritably, "Look at you, a grown man, how can you make your wife tired?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo could only listen.
Hearing the commotion from the old house, Chen Jiandang and his wife, and Chen Jianjun and his wife, came over to help.
Su Xia prepared to go back to her bedroom to change her clothes, and then looked at Bao Niu Niu.
The two kids paused for a moment, blinked, and looked at each other curiously.
Su Xia...is this forgetfulness?
When Niu Niu came in and saw this, she thought they had really forgotten, and comforted her, saying, "Mommy, you two are still here..."
Before she could finish speaking, waaaah...
One after another, two guys opened their arms and cried loudly at Su Xia.
"Waaah... Mother..."
"Waaaah... Mother..."
The two guys got up and stumbled as they tried to rush over.
Su Xia had no choice but to rush over immediately, otherwise, if she fell off the kang (heated brick bed), it wouldn't just be a matter of crying and fussing.
Niu Niu was stunned, then relieved. It turned out that the two guys were confused at first, but now that they had come to their senses, they weren't crying.
Hearing the commotion, Chen's mother rushed in, asking anxiously, "What's going on...?"
Holding the two babies, Su Xia could only say, "It's okay, they'll be fine in a bit!"
Niu Niu also explained, "Girl, Niu Niu, you started crying when you saw Mommy!"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother looked at her grandchildren and began to sob.
"How could you not cry? Since you left, I haven't seen you at night, and I cried and fussed for days!"
Su Xia felt sorry for them too, and hugged them, saying, "Thank you so much, Mom!"
Chen's mother said, "It's all Niu Niu, but I'm having an easy time!"
Su Xia looked at Niu Niu, who was a little shy, and said, "I'll go help Dad!"
Chen's mother also went out, leaving Su Xia and the other two alone.
"Sister-in-law, how is your daughter doing over there?"
After Su Xia and Chen Jianguo rested for a while and changed their clothes, they gathered in the living room and chatted happily.
No one expected that Xia Laidi would be the first to ask Geya.
Su Xia paused for a moment, then came to her senses. "It's good. My in-laws aren't here, so Ya Ya is less of a handful. And my husband is obedient and spoils her..."
"The house is detached with its own yard; the only options are public transportation or bicycles. My in-laws send money and deliver tickets every month..."
Stain...
As Su Xia described it, not only were all the women present envious, but Su Xia herself was also envious...
Everyone...
What are you envious of? Your life is so good!
Chen Jianguo took out a photo and handed it to Chen Jiandang, "This is a photo of Geya's family of three!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiandang immediately took it. What came into view was a girl holding a chubby little girl, with Zhou Congjin behind her.
“So good…so good…!” Chen Jiandang stroked the photo, his mind filled with the image of his daughter, who had grown from a young age and was now a well-behaved and sensible girl.
"Dad, let me see!" Wu Ya snatched it away, followed by her little tagalong, Gou Dan.
But halfway there, a pair of rough hands snatched her away. "Xia Laidi, what a little girl!"
Xia Laidi muttered to herself, then asked Su Xia, "Sister-in-law, why don't you hurry up and have one? It has to be a boy!"
Upon hearing this, everyone except Su Xia and Chen Jianguo agreed.
After all, Zhou Congjian only had one child, no boy...
"No, I'll write a letter later. That brat is so irresponsible, what is she thinking? She's still not pregnant!" Xia Laidi said irritably.
Su Xia tried to speak several times, but still didn't say anything.
Chen's mother scolded her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Writing letters? Doesn't she know she's pregnant? Of course she'll tell us!"
Chen Jiandang was also annoyed and said to Xia Laidi, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
Xia Laidi was indignant, but her mother-in-law and husband both said so, so she could only shut up.
Seeing this, Su Xia felt helpless, then tried to smooth things over, "Alright, Yaya is doing very well. Her husband loves her more than anyone else, so don't worry. Besides, Yaya has always wanted to have children, but there's no one to look after them, so they want to wait until Yaya is a little older!"
"That's good, Ya Ya is one year old now, we just need to wait another half a year or so!"
"It's their business, you're not allowed to meddle. Your son-in-law's family are all in the military; they probably don't value that!" said Mr. Chen.
Xia Laidi muttered something, but Chen Jiandang's eyes were fierce, so she could only stay quiet.
"Brother, are all the buildings in the capital high-rises?" Chen Jianjun asked impatiently.
"There are buildings, but they're not that tall. Besides, those are all courtyard houses, those are famous!"
"Back then, every household had a courtyard house. What's so great about multi-story houses?" said Mr. Chen.
"Dad, you can't say that! I heard the building has electricity. If you turn on the electric heater, the room will be brightly lit!" Chen Jianjun gestured excitedly.
Su Xia chimed in, "Once the county gets electricity, we'll have electricity too!"
The people there immediately began a heated discussion about when the power would be restored.
As for the children, several of them were looking at Grandpa's photo and saying who Yaya looked like.
"Still like my sister!" Wu Ya said proudly.
Over there, Su Xia gave each of them half a bag of candy, and they put it in their mouths and played around.
This is probably what home is all about. No matter where you hide away, home will always have a place for you!
