"Mom, what did you say?" This was Da Bao, his eyes wide, unable to believe what he was hearing.
"Are you really taking us out?" Erbao asked excitedly, her eyes wide.
Su Xia smiled and nodded, then turned to Niu Niu and said, "Go ahead, you all pack your things. Your dad is working on the backyard. We'll go back to the county town together when he gets back!"
"Yay..." Erbao jumped up excitedly.
Da Bao was also very happy, grinning from ear to ear. Soon, the two brothers went to help their father. Da Bao said, "Dad, I'm here to help you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo, who was mixing pig feed, looked at his tall eldest son with eyes full of pride.
"Dad, Mom said she's taking us out!" Da Bao still wanted to confirm.
Chen Jianguo chuckled, "Really, your mother said it a long time ago, that's why she's been waiting for that other side to finish!"
Da Bao nodded affirmatively, his large hand holding an axe, making a loud, booming sound... the sounds of chopping wood filled the air.
Su Xia was packing her things. The twins didn't know where their mother was going, but they would definitely follow her wherever she went.
Su Xia knew she had two tagalongs following her, but she didn't care.
Niu Niu was also tidying up her clothes in her room when Ya came in. She was initially happy, but when she saw Niu Niu tidying up her clothes, she was taken aback.
Niu Niu paused for a moment, then her big eyes began to well up with tears. "Sister Niu Niu, are you going back?"
Niu Niu paused, saw that it was 뀖丫, and that her big eyes were red, and didn't know how to respond.
She pursed her lips, not daring to cry, and finally ran out.
Niu Niu behind her sighed and immediately rushed out. This younger sister was the one she felt most sorry for among all her cousins. Seeing her cry made her feel bad too.
Waaah...
I don't need to cry, but I can't hold it in!
Bang...
"Oh dear, why don't you watch where you're going?" Chen's mother said irritably.
What if I accidentally bump into her? But after saying that, I still didn't see her respond. I was about to ask...
Then they heard sobbing. Chen's mother immediately asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it your mother again...?"
Ya looked up, her eyes red and swollen, and shook her head. "Grandma, Aunt and the others want to go back!"
Chen's mother... had just swallowed back the words she was going to say to the third son's family.
"Going back is fine, what's there to cry about!"
"I know, I just miss them!"
Seeing her like this, Chen's mother knew that this child had a hard life; her mother neither loved nor cared for her, and she had to stay with the eldest son's family...
Why....
"Grandma...!" It's Niu Niu.
"Hmm, why are you going back?" Chen's mother asked curiously.
Niu Niu pursed her lips, unsure of what to say. Chen's mother could also tell that this wasn't just a simple return to the county town.
Chen's mother threw down her daughter and went straight to the backyard, where she saw her father and daughter chopping wood.
"Boss, are your wife and the others going back?"
Chen Jianguo nodded. "Yes, Xiaxia is taking the kids out. It was originally scheduled for the 10th, but it was delayed because of Wuya's wedding!"
Although Chen's mother appeared calm, she was still somewhat disappointed, which Da Bao, who was standing beside her, seemed to notice.
After tugging at her father's arm to rouse her, Chen Jianguo agreed, but it was already late. He could only explain that Niu Niu wanted to go out and take a look before the job recruitment season.
Chen's mother felt a little better, and Chen Jianguo said, "And the old chief, Niu Niu and Er Bao's teachers are all in Beijing, so we can take this opportunity to visit them!"
Chen's mother nodded, "We really should take a look; they've been a huge help!"
"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work. It's not easy for Xiaxia to take care of five children all by herself. You must make sure everything is arranged well!"
Chen Jianguo nodded, but looking at his mother's back, he felt a little lonely.
Niu Niu was helping Wu Ya clean and tidy up the room, but it was actually because of Wu Ya's mess that the whole room smelled bad.
Ya gradually recovered. Knowing that her aunt and uncle were going on a long trip instead of returning to the county town, most of her disappointment disappeared instantly, and the little bit left was nothing.
Su Xia was packing when she saw Chen Jianguo come in and immediately said, "We need to find an oxcart, otherwise we'll have to walk back!"
"Um....!"
"By the way, have you bought the tickets?"
"Um....!"
"I'd rather buy a sleeper berth than a seat berth!"
"Um....!"
Su Xia....
Finally, he realized what was happening, and the man's heart was no longer troubled.
He rolled his eyes. "Just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush like that, you grown man?"
Chen Jianguo... he didn't know how to start the conversation.
Upon returning home, Chen's mother lay back down without even glancing at Chen's father beside her.
Chen's father...
"Weren't you going to the eldest brother's house? What happened?"
Chen's mother didn't speak, Chen's father...
They also sensed something was wrong. After waiting a while, they heard Chen's mother mutter, "The eldest son's wife is taking Niu Niu and the others to Beijing!"
Mr. Chen blinked. This wasn't good news!
"Sure, let's go. The eldest son is so smart, and besides, it's not like we haven't been there before. There are still rooms available there; it'll be good to go and take a look!"
Chen's mother's lips trembled, but she didn't speak in the end. Seeing her like this, Chen's father, his mind still foggy, thought for a moment and then said in surprise, "You want to go too?"
Chen's mother visibly trembled, and Chen's father stared wide-eyed, saying incredulously, "What are you going to do? Besides, how old are we? Going along will only cause trouble!"
When Chen's mother's little scheme was exposed, she turned her head away and ignored everyone.
Chen's father,...
Su Xia finally learned from Da Bao what Chen's mother had asked them about.
She glanced at the embarrassed Chen Jianguo and gave him a speechless glare.
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "I was just asking!"
Su Xia didn't respond, and Da Bao and the others looked at their parents, unsure of what to say.
It's not impossible to bring grandparents along, but what about Mom herself?
Finally, Su Xia turned to Chen Jianguo, who was standing to the side with his head down, and said, "What are you still doing here? Go tell your parents to take some light luggage...!"
coax.....
Chen Jianguo stared wide-eyed at Su Xia in disbelief, while Da Bao and Er Bao immediately responded and jumped up happily.
"Mom, you're so kind!"
Su Xia: "You have to promise to watch over Grandpa and Grandma the whole way!"
"No problem, leave it to me!" Da Bao patted his chest and assured him.
"No, I have to tell Grandpa and Grandma!" Erbao couldn't wait any longer and excitedly ran out.
Da Bao also took his younger siblings out to give the couple some space.
Seeing that the children had all gone out, leaving only the two of them, Su Xia said irritably, "Go if you want to, why think so much!"
Chen Jianguo was filled with emotion and hugged Su Xia tightly.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, uttering only two words: "Thank you!"
Su Xia was being held, which was fine at first, but after a while, Da Xia was being held by a furnace, how could she not be hot?
He shoved the man away roughly, and Chen Jianguo cried out pitifully, "Wife..."
"Hurry up and get to work. Mom and Dad are going out too. The pigs, chickens, and vegetable garden will definitely be handed over to the second and third sons. Go and tell them, don't go find Xia Lai Di or Liu Chunxia!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo became excited, "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely arrange it!"
Just as Chen's mother turned her head away and ignored everyone, Chen's father was about to continue to persuade her.
Erbao burst in, excitedly shouting, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom said you should pack your things!"
rub....
Chen's mother immediately sat up, startling Chen's father. "I've thought it through. The children can go, and besides, we have the means..."
Chen's mother stared intently at Erbao. "Your mother really said that!"
Panting, Erbao caught his breath and said, "Yes, Mom wants you to pack your things and come with us!"
Chen's mother stared wide-eyed, her body trembling uncontrollably, and Chen's father, who was beside her, also woke up in shock.
Hahaha......
Ha ha.....
Hearing the laughter coming from his parents' room, Chen Jianguo grinned foolishly...
