Jiang Baige took the luggage back to the house, sorted out the luggage they brought back, and took out the basin for washing Dandan's clothes and diapers from the space.
She put aside the things she bought for her parents-in-law and mother-in-law, and found all the needles and thread that Zhou Xiuying asked them to bring back.
Dandan could already walk a few steps, so she watched him very closely and never let him out of her sight, for fear that the child would fall if she was not careful.
Little Huangdou had never been to this place and didn't dare to run around. He followed Jiang Baige and her child wherever they went.
Xiao Huangdou is a beautiful dog with long hair and lop-eared ears. Now that she has grown up a little, she looks even prettier than Siyan.
As they walked along the way, Dandan wanted to crawl on the bed, so Jiang Baige held him and prepared to boil a pot of water for him to wash.
Chen Defu led the men in the village to transport corn back home. They brought it back to the threshing ground one trip at a time and poured baskets of corn on the ground to dry in the sun.
This was their dozenth trip today. They were so tired that they sat in the shade to cool off and fanned themselves with their hats.
Li Bao saw Siyan running towards them from a distance and suddenly called out, "Uncle Fu, look at that dog running over there, is it yours?"
Chen Defu stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction Li Bao pointed. After a closer look, he found that it was indeed the four-eyed kid in their family.
He laughed and said, "Oh my, look how fat he is. He's even panting while running."
Siyan saw his family whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came to him, rubbed against him, and licked his hand with his tongue.
Chen Defu touched his head and patted it twice. Although Siyan was raised by his daughter-in-law, he was basically raised by them and was no different from our children.
Said to Four Eyes: "Little guy, you really came to see me."
Li Bao asked, "The dog is back, so your Jiaojiao and the others must be back too."
Chen Defu thought it was true and said quickly, "Hurry up and work. Finish today's task and then go home."
The supervisor had just brought back the corn and heard that we had to leave work early, he said.
"There's still that piece at the foot of the mountain that hasn't been harvested yet. Why don't we finish it all today and start work later tomorrow?"
Chen Defu thought about it seriously and said, "Alright, then I'll take a break for the first half of tomorrow."
Seeing that his old master was still going to work, Siyan happily followed him.
In the evening, before Zhou Xiuying and her colleagues got home from work, Jiang Baige had already prepared a table full of dishes.
She has been practicing her cooking skills recently. I can't say how delicious the food is, but at least it's cooked. It's much better than before.
A whole chicken, a pot of stewed chicken with potatoes, and a large bowl of cold cucumber and preserved egg salad. Since farmers eat a lot, she added some extra.
A serving of hand-shredded cabbage, the cabbage was shredded by Dandan himself.
Dinner is mung bean porridge, which is the best way to relieve the summer heat in autumn.
When Zhou Xiuying entered the house, she saw her eldest grandson playing with toys in a large wooden tub in the yard, with the little duck quacking loudly as he bit it.
She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She quickly went to get some water to wash her face and hands.
Jiang Baige saw her mother-in-law coming back and walked out of the house, "Mom, you're back."
Zhou Xiuying washed her hands and said with a smile, "I've been harvesting corn these past two days, so I got off work a little late."
While she was talking to her daughter-in-law, her eyes fell on her eldest grandson's face.
Reaching out to shake his hand, he couldn't help but say.
"Oh! My eldest grandson! You're back."
Dandan didn't recognize the person in front of him. When he heard that she was talking to him, he responded with "ah ah".
Seeing that she was trying to pull his hand, he quickly broke free, then hugged his little duck and started to nibble on it.
When Zhou Xiuying saw this scene, her heart melted instantly. Look how well her grandson was taken care of. Several little teeth have grown out, and he is white and plump. It has only been a short time since they last saw him, but he already knows how to talk to people.
Jiang Baige went under the eaves to get a towel. Seeing that her mother-in-law had a lot of sweat on her face, she wanted her to wipe it off before holding the baby.
"Mom, here are some towels."
Zhou Xiuying saw the towel her daughter-in-law brought and said, "It can't be wiped clean. I'll go wash it later."
He added, "You guys came back with a letter in advance so that we can go pick you up."
Chen Jiaojiao was doing homework in the room. When she heard her mother's voice, she ran out of the room.
Smiling, he continued, "We wanted to give you a surprise to make you happy. How are you now? Are you happy?"
Zhou Xiuying was a little satisfied when she saw that her daughter had changed out of her little skirt.
That little skirt can be worn in the county town, but if it gets damaged while working, I won’t be able to feel sad about it then.
She said: "Happy, of course I am very happy."
Seeing that her mother-in-law's eyes never left her son, Jiang Baige quickly said, "Mom, why don't you hug him."
Zhou Xiuying said quickly, "No, wait until I change my clothes. I don't want my eldest grandson to be irritated by my sweat."
Jiang Baige didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so particular, but it was okay. The child didn't understand and would touch here and there and even suck his fingers.
While looking at the back of her mother-in-law, she still didn't forget to talk to her son.
"That was grandma just now, did you recognize her? You have to be a good girl and let her hold you, okay? Otherwise, she'll be sad."
Dandan is a little shy and doesn't want to be held by anyone he doesn't know. Jiang Baige is worried about her son and doesn't let her mother-in-law hold him either.
The two elderly people at home would be so sad if they were not given the grandson they had been waiting for for a long time to hold.
Chen Jiaojiao said, "It's okay. With more time, Dandan will get to know them."
Jiang Baige also thought so. If he didn't want to, she could only get to know him and let him hug her.
The meal was already set on the table. Chen Jiaojiao saw that only his mother had returned, and there was no sign of his father.
Then he said, "Sister-in-law, tell mother that I'm going to look for father."
Jiang Baige responded, "Go! The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back."
After Chen Jiaojiao ran out, Zhou Xiuying soon came out after changing her clothes.
Zhou Xiuying came to the mother and son, looked at her eldest grandson's big watery eyes, and was eager to hold her grandson.
She softened her tone and said, "Grandson, can you hold me?"
Dandan was sucking his fingers. When he saw the person in front of him said it was his grandmother, he quickly looked at his mother.
Jiang Baige smiled at him and said, "This is your grandma! Let grandma hug you, okay?"
At this time, Zhou Xiuying stretched out her hand in front of Dandan, waiting for his consent before taking it.
Unexpectedly, Dandan followed up by shouting, "Grandma."
The baby voice is so sweet that it makes my heart melt.
Zhou Xiuying was even more delighted and quickly agreed. "Oh, my eldest grandson already calls me grandma."
Jiang Baige was also very surprised. She had never taught her son the term "grandma". However, unexpectedly, the child learned it spontaneously after hearing her say it once.
She said happily, "Mom, this is the first time Dandan has heard the word 'grandma'. I didn't expect that he could actually learn it."
