Chapter 337 Waiting for the Descendants to Return
Seeing that Huo Haocheng's vacation was about to end, Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng began to pack their luggage after returning home. The next day they would go back to the Huo family to pick up grandma and third aunt.
That night, the Ruan family and the Gu family gathered together for a rare dinner, which was also a farewell party for Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng, because they all knew that after they left tomorrow, they would not know when they would see each other again. The young ones were fine, as they could go to Yuncheng if they had time, but the old guys probably didn't have much time to live in this life, and they would spend the rest of their time in this compound, waiting for their descendants to return.
After dinner, we sat together and chatted for a while, then went home to sleep.
After putting the children to sleep, Ruanruan chatted with Huo Haocheng, "Do you think we really need to take grandma with us?"
In fact, after Grandma Li passed away, Ruanruan was thinking that her grandmother was too old and didn’t want her to travel back and forth with them. When she came back before, they clearly felt that the old lady’s body could not withstand the hard work. In addition, Grandpa was also old, and she didn’t want the two elders to live apart in their old age.
"Let's go back and ask what grandpa and grandma say." Huo Haocheng didn't want his grandmother to suffer with them anymore, but he respected their ideas.
When he came back this time, grandma and his younger siblings agreed that they would go back to take care of them during the confinement period. Given grandma's temper, she would not break her promise to them. So now, he cannot make any decision for grandma on his own. Everything depends on her own thoughts.
Ruanruan also knew her grandmother's temper. After thinking about it, she decided to discuss it after returning home.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep"
After saying that, he turned over, turned his back to Huo Haocheng, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing his wife suddenly leave him, Huo Haocheng didn't understand why, but he still stuck to her and hugged her from behind.
"Let me go, you're too hot. I can't sleep if you hold me in your arms." Ruanruan felt that Huo Haocheng in the summer was like a furnace, his whole body was burning. In such a hot day, she didn't want to be close to him at all.
Looking at his wife's actions and words, Huo Haocheng felt aggrieved, "So, there is no love now, right?" When he thought about the past few months, she insisted on hugging him to keep her warm as soon as they went to bed, and said it was great to have him. It has only been a short time, and she has started to dislike him.
Ruanruan turned her head and met Huo Haocheng's aggrieved expression. She just glanced at him lazily and said, "Sorry, I'm immune to it." Then, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Seeing that this trick didn't work and his wife didn't accept it, Huo Haocheng also lost interest. He retracted his expression, then lay down beside his wife and fell asleep.
The next day, at 6 o'clock in the morning, when the sun just rose, the family got up, spent half an hour washing and eating breakfast, and then Ruan Shaohong drove them to the train station.
"When are you planning to be transferred?" In fact, according to Huo Haocheng's current military achievements, he is more than qualified to be transferred to the capital. However, Huo Haocheng is still waiting. He is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that will allow him to move the entire independent regiment to the capital.
"Wait a bit, it should be here soon"
"Okay, I'll wait for you guys to come back in Beijing."
When they arrived at the train station, Ruan Shaohong sent them to the car and then drove back to the army.
They took the 7:20 train in the morning and arrived at 8: in the evening. This time, they stayed in the carriage for the whole day, except for their family of four, and no one else came, which allowed them to arrive in Shen City safely.
The people who came to pick them up were Fu Mingyi and Huo Yue. It was too late to go back, so they stayed in their yard for one night. The next morning, they were sent back to the Huo family.
In order to facilitate the transportation of Huo Haocheng and his friends, Fu Mingyi directly applied for three days of leave from the bureau. It was just in time for him to go back to the Huo family with them for a reunion.
After breakfast in the morning, Huo Haocheng and Fu Mingyi went to the black market and found the brothers who used to work under Zheng Xuyang. Since Zheng Xuyang left, he left the stall to them. With Fu Mingyi's secret protection, they were also very careful in their work and nothing had happened in the past two years.
Fu Mingyi and his companion bought some meat and food from them, and also took some cloth back to the Huo family.
As time went by, it was almost noon when they got home.
After feeding the children and changing their diapers and clothes, Huo Haocheng and Fu Mingyi began to prepare lunch. Ruanruan, Huo Yue and Li Huan, the three little sisters, put the children on the mats on the ground and sat aside, looking through the photos that Huo Haocheng had taken of them during this trip to Beijing.
"Oh, they are so young and have already visited Beijing and taken so many photos. The farthest place I have been to at my age is Yuncheng. No, if I have the chance, I must go to Beijing to have a look."
Looking at the photos of grandma and grandma holding their children, I felt so soft and heartbroken.
"Ruanruan, is this your eldest brother's child?" Li Huan asked Ruanruan while holding a photo of his three children sitting side by side. In the photo, Xiaobao was sitting in the middle, and his two brothers were sitting on both sides. I don't know what method Huo Haocheng used to make the three children look at the camera, pouting their little mouths, and laughing happily.
Looking at the children in the photos, Ruanruan was also very happy. "Well, his full name is Ruan Zechen, and his nickname is Aiai, which means he says "Aiyo, Aiai" all day long." When she thought of this nephew who says "Aiai, Aiai" to everyone he meets, Ruanruan wanted to laugh.
"Hey? Why?" Huo Yue and Li Huan were puzzled. In order to make it easier to raise children, adults gave them cheap names like Gouzi, Erniu and Daya. They could understand that, but, hey, this was the first time they heard of such nonsensical nicknames.
"Yes, it's Ai Ai, because he would say Ai Ai, Ai Ai whenever he saw people, so my sister-in-law thought, it's just a nickname, since he says Ai Ai, Ai Ai all the time, then let's call him Ai Ai."
"Haha, sister-in-law is quite casual!" It's really unique that she gave her son a nickname that was the sound he made when he couldn't speak yet.
As for nicknames, Ruanruan said it’s fine, you can call her whatever you want.
At noon, when the Huo family came back from work, Huo Haocheng asked his grandmother while they were eating, "Grandma, do you still want to go with us this time? Grandma, don't rush to answer. We respect your choice. But, for us, you have never been separated from grandpa and have lived with us in Yuncheng for a year. This time, you will definitely not be able to come back within the time limit. So, I think grandma, you should discuss it with grandpa."
Hearing what Huo Haocheng said, the brothers Huo Songbai and Huo Songhuai immediately said, "Mom, you shouldn't go this time. It would be lonely leaving my dad alone at home."
"That's right, mother. We can still show our filial piety when you are at home. You followed Haocheng and Ruanruan to Yuncheng, and we couldn't see each other for a year. Don't you miss us?"
"Yes, mother, don't worry, I can take good care of Yuwei by myself."
"That's right, mom, when you're at home, Huo Songbai won't listen to me anymore."
Before the old man even opened his mouth, his two sons and their wives began to try to keep her.
In fact, the old lady herself knew that since her old sister passed away, her health has been getting worse day by day. She said that she would go to help take care of the children and serve her granddaughter-in-law during the confinement period, but if something happened at that time, she would become a burden to them. After thinking for a while, she said, "Old man, what do you say?"
"Stay!" There were no extra words. However, as a young couple, they had walked through so many years hand in hand, and in the last moments of their lives, he still wanted to accompany each other.
The reason why I agreed to let her go to Yuncheng last year was that I was really worried that the two children would not be able to take care of themselves there. As an aunt, Wang Qun was not comfortable saying some things, and with the old lady around, she could keep an eye on them.
They don’t have anything to do now, and Huo Haocheng can take good care of the two children, so the old lady’s visit doesn’t mean much now.
"...Okay then!" Since her old man asked her to stay, she would not go.
"However, I will call Shuyan and Yuwei later and explain it clearly. They cannot think that I am biased as a grandmother." Since they have decided to stay at home, the old lady thought that she should explain things clearly to them in Yuncheng. She cannot let this ruin her image in the children's hearts.
Seeing that the old lady was so easy to convince, they felt relieved. As for calling them, they also expressed their understanding. Just call them, and they believed that they would understand.
Just as they thought, in the afternoon, after the child fell asleep and was looked after by grandfather, the three sisters, Ruanruan, accompanied their grandmother to call Yuwei and the others to explain that they could not go. They also expressed their understanding. The old lady was old, and they lived in a building. It was winter when the baby was given birth. If she fell, they could not take the responsibility. Besides, Huo Haoshen had told them his thoughts before, and now that the old lady herself said she could not come, they were happy to see it happen.
