Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Returning to the Village
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I’m holding Xiao Four, Qi Wen is holding Xiao Five."
"That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful." Yang Minggang also came over, "Hurry inside, hurry inside, the sun outside is too strong."
Hu Haihua sighed, "Look at me, my memory, hurry inside."
Qi Hong and Qi Yan, the two brothers, were still unloading the car, bringing gifts from both families this time. Although Yang Hongwen had already passed away, Su Yuanyuan still didn’t leave anything behind.
Hu Haihua hastily washed his hands and followed inside the house.
"Yuanyuan, get on the kang, quickly put the two children on the kang, it’s uncomfortable to hold children in such heat."
Su Yuanyuan put the two down; she dressed the children in those one-piece garments. This kind of fabric is available now, but definitely not as good as the quality she brought out.
Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were tossing their limbs on the kang.
"Qi Wen, Xiao Tan, you two sit down as well."
"Grandma, no need to fuss. We won’t stand on ceremony." Qi Wen said with a smile.
"Right, no need to be formal, no need to be formal; this is home."
After speaking, she stared at Qi Hao and Qi Xuan. "Yuanyuan, Xiao Four, Xiao Five and Qi Yan really resemble each other, all looking handsome."
Su Yuanyuan sat cross-legged on the kang, "Aunt, how is your and Uncle’s health?"
"Pretty good, we can work, we can eat and sleep, so of course, we’re good."
"That’s good, with Uncle Yang Hongwen gone, I couldn’t come back." Su Yuanyuan sighed.
"We all understand you, you’re so busy."
"I won’t be busy anymore; our family of five has all resigned."
Hu Haihua was stunned for a moment, "Resigned?"
"Yes, we came back to see you and then we’ll go travel outside."
"That’s good too, why work so hard? As long as you’ve got enough to eat and drink, and the kids are alright."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Exactly, life isn’t very long."
"You, you always wanted to go out when you were little, now with the six of them accompanying you, you can go anywhere."
Su Yuanyuan listened to Hu Haihua’s words and laughed, remembering how she always wanted to go out back then; it’s the same now, isn’t it?
Yang Minggang was also smiling brightly, watching the two children on the kang.
Qi Hong came in, "Grand Grandpa, come with us to deliver the things we brought to Yang Hongwen Grand Grandpa’s house."
Yang Minggang nodded with a smile, "Sure, let’s go, I’ll go with you."
This year, they brought food. But there was indeed quite a lot.
Xu Chunjiao is living by herself now; she doesn’t want to live with her sons because conflicts arise when living together, it’s better on her own.
Seeing Yang Minggang and Qi Hong coming in, Xu Chunjiao quickly set down the chives she was holding.
"Qi Hong, have your parents returned?"
"Grand Grandma, my parents are all here. Where should I bring these things for Grand Grandma?"
"Minggang, I’ll go to your house for lunch."
"Alright, sister-in-law."
Qi Hong delivered the things into the house, "Grand Grandma, my parents are waiting for you at home."
"Alright, I’ll wash my hands and tidy up, then I’ll be over."
After the father and son returned, Qi Yan had already tidied up the house.
After a while, Xu Chunjiao came over with the trimmed chives.
She exclaimed as soon as she entered and saw Qi Hao and Qi Xuan, "Yuanyuan, these two kids are really great."
"Aunt, is your health alright?"
Xu Chunjiao nodded, "Good. Eating well and sleeping soundly."
"Yuanyuan, how many months are the kids?"
"A little over two months."
"They don’t look it, I could swear they seem like three or four months old, really sturdy."
"The kids’ nutrition is keeping up nowadays; it’s all about the same."
"Aunt, when Uncle was gone, I truly didn’t have time to come back."
"I understand, I understand you. Your work is so busy.
It happened so suddenly; he was alright in the evening."
Hu Haihua got off the kang, "You all stay, I’ll go make food."
"Aunt, make bean cake dishes."
"Xiao Tan, Qi Yan, the three of you eat bean cake dishes?"
The four of them nodded, they could eat anything.
Hu Haihua still steamed mantou, stewed meat with freshly dug potatoes, of course, there were bean cakes.
Yang Minggang cleaned up the room, letting them rest in the afternoon.
Su Yuanyuan, Hu Haihua, and Xu Chunjiao were chatting idly on the kang.
"Yuanyuan, you really don’t mind giving up such a good job?" Xu Chunjiao asked.
"Aunt, nothing to mind about, our family will travel and play outside for a few years, the earlier years were too tiring."
"You got a big heart, such a good job, some folks strive their whole lives without getting it, and your family just lets it go."
"Sister-in-law, what’s the matter, Yuanyuan’s family has skills, later if they want work, it’s just a stretch of the hand."
"True enough. Though I don’t quite understand, but you say even the small officials here are so respected, let alone Yuanyuan’s work?"
"Their family’s pursuits are different."
Su Yuanyuan just listened with a smile to the two talking; she knew how others might think, some might even consider her pretentious.
But their family’s pursuits really aren’t about that.
Tan Shaoting accommodates her, Qi Yan and the three of them still accommodate her.
If she were ambitious, that would be another matter; simply, she really doesn’t like that kind of life. Now everything has been set in motion, she’s been true to her heart. From now on, she will live a carefree life.
"Haihua, was Zhiqiang’s little Song brought back?"
Hu Haihua laughed, "Yuanyuan, your big brother has another son, named Xiao Song, he’s already eight months old now."
"That’s truly something to be happy about, Aunt, you must be relieved now?"
Hu Haihua nodded, "Definitely, right? Now the five of them are in the city, Shubao and Xiao Qin are doing well, what else should I worry about."
"That’s for the best."
"Xiao Song went to his grandma’s yesterday."
"Before we came over, we also went to Chunsheng’s house. Both of them are working, Zong Wei went to school, only Zonglin is home, he’ll go to prep class after autumn."
"Sigh, it’s so far, I can’t help."
"I see sister-in-law’s grandparents’ health is pretty good, Aunt, you can rest easy; once Zonglin goes to school, the old couple will have it even easier."
"I just hope the elders can live long."
Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were already asleep, looking very endearing; Xu Chunjiao would occasionally touch the hands of the two children.
"Yuanyuan, your family should settle down in the village."
"Aunt, we’re going to visit the farm, those years living there were the most relaxing."
"Only you think that way, I don’t know how Zhao Tian’s family is, Yuanyuan, do you have contact with them?" Hu Haihua asked.
"Yes, I’m in touch with Zhao Yanli. But at the end of last year, Zhao Yanli’s mother passed away."
"An Lixia passed away?"
