Sun Weiguo helped load the things into the carriage, and then they went to the school to pick up Xinxin. Because this year was the first year that the college entrance examination was resumed, and their school was the examination venue, the winter vacation this year started more than half a month earlier than in previous years.
"Dad, Mom, Pingping, Uncle Weiguo..."
"Uncle Xiaoshi, Aunt Xiaoshi, Pingping, Uncle Weiguo..."
"Uncle, aunt..."
The children of the Chu family who went to middle school together in the city were carrying their own luggage. When they saw Chu Tian and his friends, they hurried over.
Chu Tian stepped forward and took the blankets from Xinxin, Si Ya, and the other two Chu girls. He then said to the other Chu boys, "Put your luggage on the carriage..."
"Hey, thank you, uncle/uncle..."
Xinxin and a few girls climbed onto the carriage and sat under the quilts, while the remaining four boys rode two bicycles and headed home first.
Chu Tian drove the carriage and let Sun Weiguo ride his bicycle back first.
In the carriage, Si Ya approached Ai Zhu and looked at Ping Ping who was sitting opposite her. She asked with concern, "Brother Ping Ping, are you feeling better?"
Pingping nodded obediently, "Sister Si Ya, I'm much better..."
Si Ya nodded. "Well, you should take care of your health in the future. You don't know that when Xinxin first found out you were in the hospital, she just finished class and was crying while packing her textbooks."
Aizhu continued, "Not only that, my bed is next to Xinxin's. She came back from the hospital that night and hid in her bed crying for a long time!"
Xinxin was leaning on Yao Xiujuan's shoulder and drowsy, when she suddenly heard what Si Ya and Ai Zhu said. She woke up immediately, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly interrupted them.
"You're talking nonsense. I, I wasn't crying! I just had dust in my eyes!"
She is the older sister, she can't give her younger brother the impression that she is crybaby and weak!
Pingping understood his sister's personality and knew that she liked to act like an older sister in front of him and Lele, so he curled his eyes and said, "Well, sister, I believe you."
Xinxin was happy to hear that and reached out to touch Pingping's long hair.
"Be good, sister likes you the most."
"Sister, I like you the most too!"
Yao Xiujuan's lips curved slightly as she watched the brother and sister loving each other so much.
Chu Tian first helped send the children's things back to their home, and then drove the carriage back to his own yard. He was surprised to see a carriage parked in his yard.
"Do we have guests at home?"
Yao Xiujuan shook her head blankly, "I don't know."
Xinxin jumped down the carriageway and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to take a look..."
But before she could run to the door of the main room, she saw it was opened from the inside. Seeing the person coming out, the four members of Chu Tian's family were stunned. Xinxin was the first to react. She rushed over and hugged the waist of the person who opened the door.
"Grandma, why are you here..."
Mother Yao touched Xinxin's hair and smiled, "Grandma and Grandpa are here to see you..."
Then Yao's father came out from behind Yao's mother. After Chu Tian, Yao Xiujuan and Pingping reacted, they also hurried forward to greet them.
"Dad, Mom..."
"Dad, Mom..."
"Grandma, Grandpa..."
Father Yao nodded. "Well, come inside quickly. It's cold outside. Don't let Pingping get cold again."
Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiujuan and Heping, "You go in first, I'll unload the things into the house first, and send the carriage back to the team..."
At this time, Sun Weiguo came out and said, "Brother Tian, I will help you unload it."
After unloading the things, Sun Weiguo did not let Chu Tian send the carriage, but rushed to send it.
"Brother Tian, your parents-in-law are here, don't run away, I'll go."
Chu Tian didn't argue with him, but said, "Then come here for dinner tonight."
Sun Weiguo pulled the carriage with one hand and waved with the other, "Hey, I get it."
Chu Tian walked into the room and sat down. Only then did Father Yao ask, "Chu Tian, Pingping is in the hospital. Why didn't you send someone to tell us? If Xiuhe hadn't gone home for the day off, we wouldn't have known about it!"
Seeing that Father Yao's face was not right, Chu Tian quickly explained, "Dad, Pingping's condition was urgent at the time and I didn't have time to find someone to pass on the message to you and Mom. After the operation, the doctor said there was no big problem. I was afraid that telling you would make you worry, so I didn't tell you..."
Xiujuan echoed, "Dad, it was me who told Brother Tian not to tell you. If you want to blame someone, blame me..."
Yao's mother was holding Pingping and examining him. Upon hearing this, she looked at Xiujuan unhappily and said, "Xiujuan, you're wrong. This isn't a matter of blaming anyone. It's because you didn't tell us at the time that we later learned from others that Pingping had committed such a serious crime. That's why we became even more worried, don't you understand?"
Seeing that her mother was also unhappy, Yao Xiujuan quickly apologized, "Mom, I know I was wrong. If anything happens again, I will never hide it from you and Dad..."
Yao's mother glared, "What do you mean by something will happen again in the future???"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, it will never happen again! Xinxin and the others will grow up healthy!"
Yao Xiujuan realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly slapped her lips. "Pooh, pooh, pooh, I was wrong. Nothing will happen. Everyone in my family is healthy and everything is going smoothly."
Yao's mother was so angry that she twisted her arm and said, "You, you are so old, and you will be a grandmother in ten years. Can you think before you speak? Xinjiang is evil, don't say some things carelessly..."
“·····”
Listening to Yao's mother's nagging, Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiujuan speechlessly, thinking that it was really possible. She made Yao's mother's anger, which was originally directed at the two of them, now focus all on her alone. I wonder if she did it on purpose? Or was it intentional?
Seeing that her grandmother was scolding her mother, Xinxin thought for a moment, turned around, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Yao's mother, saying, "Grandma, please drink some water."
Yao's mother paused before she continued to scold Yao Xiujuan, then let go of Pingping, reached out to take it, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xinxin, it just so happens that grandma is thirsty..."
Seeing Yao Xiujuan let out a sigh of relief, Xinxin moved a chair and sat across from Yao's mother, smiling and asking, "Grandma, did you and Grandpa come here in a horse-drawn carriage from home?"
Mother Yao took a few sips of water and nodded. "Yes, when your second aunt arrived home, there were no buses running here. We were so anxious that we couldn't wait to take the bus the next day, so we borrowed a horse-drawn carriage and hurried over."
Xinxin exclaimed, "Wow!" and turned to look at Father Yao, asking with concern, "Grandpa, you must be tired after driving the carriage for several hours, right?"
When Father Yao heard that his eldest granddaughter cared about him, he quickly put away the seriousness on his face and showed a loving smile, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. Grandpa is not tired when he thinks about seeing you siblings..."
