“It’s fine. The porridge is almost ready. Let’s wait another ten minutes, then
call them down for dinner.”
Qin Mucheng knew he was not in a good mood and was unwilling to speak.
He silently walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.
It must have snowed last night as well. There was a layer of white snowflakes on the holly tree at the door.
After standing there for a while, Qin Mucheng turned around and went upstairs again.
Ji Yuanyuan had already packed up and helped Tangtang put on her clothes. “Big Brother made breakfast. Let’s go down and eat now.” Qin Mucheng said, “Let’s go to Grandpa and Grandma’s place after dinner.
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng held Tangtang’s hand and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Ji Zixuan was already sitting at the dining table.
There was porridge and fried eggs on the four tables.
The plate in the middle had fried dough sticks and dumplings.
Qin Mucheng had asked the supermarket to deliver them. Ji Zixuan probably found them in the fridge.
Tangtang turned into a foodie. Her eyes lit up when she saw the food.
She shook off Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng’s hands and ran to the dining table. Unfortunately, she was short and could not reach the fried dough stick on the table no matter how hard she tried.
“Uncle, I want to eat that…” She was so anxious that her face turned red. “Tangtang, what do we do before we eat?” Ji Yuanyuan reminded her gently.
Perhaps Ji Yuanyuan’s voice was too gentle and did not have any deterrent power.
Tangtang ignored Ji Yuanyuan’s words and only stared at Ji Zixuan.
Poor child, she hadn’t eaten since the day before yesterday.
Qin Mucheng would not be soft-hearted toward her. He put on a stern face.
“Qin Yutang, Mommy is talking to you. Didn’t you hear her?
Tangtang put down her tiptoes and turned around to look at Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng.
When she saw Qin Mucheng’s serious expression, she immediately shrunk her neck.
She slowly went to the kitchen.
Ji Zixuan hurriedly followed her over and helped her wash her hands.
When she returned, he carried her to the dining chair and placed a fried dough stick in her bowl.
“It’s not hot anymore. Eat it.”
Tangtang stretched out her small hand and picked up the fried dough stick. She began to eat it.
Qin Mucheng frowned when he saw how she ate.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and tugged at the corner of Qin Mucheng’s shirt.
■■Forget it. She’s starving. Don’t bother about her for the next few days. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
Qin Mucheng felt a little helpless. “Children know how to differentiate adults’ expression. If I don’t do anything, she’ll take advantage of me.”
He raised his head and glanced at Tangtang. In the end, he did not say anything to lecture her.
After the meal, Ji Yuanyuan called Li Xu and invited them to visit his grandparents for New Year.
They agreed to meet at the village entrance.
After not coming back for so many years, the village had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Ji Yuanyuan almost forgot the way to her grandparents’ house. Fortunately, Ji Zixuan corrected her.
After the two parties gathered at the village entrance, they went to their grandparents’ house under Zhang Kun s guidance.
w.a.n.g Yuechu and Zhang Dali’s bodies were as strong as ever.
The old couple looked energetic.
Zhang Jun’s family was also there. In addition, Wenwen was also there. Wenwen was already twenty-four years old and had graduated last summer. After graduation, she took the civil service examination and returned to S City. She looked rather shy, but when she was with Ji Yuanyuan, she would still call her sister intimately.
Shuoshuo was a young man in his twenties.
Zhang Jun’s second child was only 12 years old this year. He looked at Zhang
Kun and the others with unfamiliar eyes.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu took out red packets and gave them to the three children. w.a.n.g Yuechu, Zhang Dali, and Zhang Jun also took out red packets and gave them to Ji Yuanyuan and the rest.
The courtyard instantly became lively.
When everything calmed down, Ji Yuanyuan had a stack of red packets in her hands.
The ones for Qin Mucheng, her, and Tangtang were all in her hands.
“How is your mother? Can she speak now?” w.a.n.g Yuechu asked with concern as soon as she entered the house.
Li Xu quickly said, “It’s pretty good. She’s already come out of the ICU today.
It’s just that she can’t speak very well.”
w.a.n.g Yuechu stretched out her hand and gently patted the back of Li Xu’s hand. “It’s good that she’s out. She’s old, and it’s winter. Her recovery will be slow.”
“Is Zhang Yao coming back tomorrow?” Zhang Kun asked as he looked around. After Zhang Yao remarried, Wei Zhenghao returned to his old house.
“She won’t. It’s not convenient for her to come back.” When w.a.n.g Yuechu mentioned Zhang Yao, her expression turned ugly.
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Kun was confused. “What have they been up to recently?”
Zhang Kun knew a little about Zhang Yao’s previous situation.
When Zhang Yao remarried, no one agreed.
They were afraid that Wenwen would be neglected after Zhang Yao remarried. She was even more afraid that the little money Zhang Yao had saved would be cheated, and in the end, she would not be able to leave anything for Wenwen. In order to rea.s.sure everyone, Zhang Yao used most of her money to buy Wenwen a house in the city.
The house in the county was also transferred to Wenwen’s name. Then, with a small amount of money, she resolutely married that man. After getting married, Zhang Yao stopped planting greenhouses and ran out with the man.
The two of them had been through a lot in the past few years.
Opening a restaurant, a clothing store, a barbershop…
w.a.n.g Yuechu sighed and whispered into Zhang Kun’s ear. “She’s pregnant, so she’s taking care of the baby.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s ears were sharp, and she naturally heard w.a.n.g Yuechu’s words. She was a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, Zhang Yao was 47 or 48 years old this year, right?
Wenwen was already twenty-four, and she was pregnant again?
Was he going to give Wenwen a younger brother or sister or a son or daughter? “What?” Zhang Kun was obviously surprised. “Isn’t this nonsense?
w.a.n.g Yuechu shook her head. “It’s her own business. Your father and I have advised her and scolded her. We can’t control what happens in the future. We still have a few years to live. When we go underground, we won’t know anything.”
Zhang Dali shook his head helplessly.
Wenwen stood at the side with an awkward expression.
Seeing this, Shuoshuo patted Wenwen’s shoulder and comforted her silently. Wenwen had been here since she was five or six years old. She grew up with Shuoshuo, and their relationship was no different from that of a biological sibling.
Wenwen forced a smile.
w.a.n.g Yuechu glanced at Wenwen and said, “Fortunately, she left most of her money to Wenwen. As for herself, let her do whatever she wants. She’ll know when she suffers a loss.”
Zhang Jun came up with melon seeds and nuts. He said disapprovingly, It wasn’t easy for Big Brother to bring the children back. Why are you guys talking about this?”
w.a.n.g Yuechu also quickly revealed a smile. “It’s the new year. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
She looked around and asked, “Where’s Zi’ang? Why didn’t Zi’ang come back with you?”
Ever since he was young, he had always been good at coaxing the old couple..
