Chapter 755: Returning to the Old House to Visit the 2 Old Men
Having just returned today, both adults and children were a little tired, so everyone went to bed early that night. Early the next morning, He Lingting took his wife and children directly to the old house. After not seeing them for so many days, Xiaomai really missed the two elders. Even if grandpa didn't call, she decided to bring the children to visit them today.
Yesterday, after Grandpa He finished his phone call with his grandson, he told his grandmother that Xiaomai and the children would be coming over today. Grandma He was so excited that she hadn't slept for half the night. She got up before daybreak and kept telling the servants to prepare this and that.
"Old lady, why do you get up so early? The children haven't woken up yet, and your granddaughter-in-law still has to take care of the three children. It's estimated that they won't be here until after nine o'clock." Grandpa He said as he came down from upstairs, yawning.
"It doesn't matter what time they come. I can't sleep anyway. It's rare for the children to come back, so I asked the kitchen to prepare more of their favorite food. Oh! I don't know how old my little great-granddaughter has grown. She must have become more beautiful." Mrs. He Lingting said.
"That's for sure! My granddaughter-in-law is so pretty, she must have inherited her beauty from Jiujiu. Old lady, you should take a rest! If I had known last night, I shouldn't have told you that they were coming today, so that you wouldn't lose sleep." Grandpa He said to his wife out of concern.
"How dare you, you old man? Besides, we are so old, how can we still sleep so much? Isn't it good to get up early and move around? You are the only one who has so many things to do." Grandma He said unhappily.
"Yes, yes, you are right..." Grandpa He said to his wife dotingly.
"That's right. By the way, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I have to find someone to buy all the new toys for my great-grandsons, so that the children won't have nothing to play with when they come back and get bored. I'll take the rest of the children home to play with them." Grandma He said and got up to work again.
She really asked Uncle Chen to find a young servant to come over, and then gave some instructions. When she was almost done, the sun broke through the mountains and headed straight for the sky. Suddenly, the sound of a car came from the yard, and the voices of the servants greeting He Lingting, "Master, Madam, good morning!"
"Good morning, where are grandpa and grandma?" Xiaomai asked as soon as she got out of the car while holding Jiujiu.
"The old man and the old lady are waiting for you in the living room, go quickly!" said the servant.
"Thank you! Husband, did you hear me? Hurry up, grandpa and grandma will be worried soon." Xiaomai urged the uncle.
"Mom and Dad, please wait! We'll go in first." Yuanyuan then pulled Tuantuan and ran into the house at the pace of a 100-meter sprint, calling out in a baby voice as she ran, "Grandpa and grandma, we're here to see you."
"Here, here..." Old Mrs. He also shouted excitedly. She finally saw her darling.
The two little ones came running over following the sound. Mr. and Mrs. He hurried over from the sofa. The two old people each held a child in their arms. They loved this meal!
"Grandpa and grandma, we're back," Xiaomai came in holding the child. He Lingting followed behind Xiaomai, holding a bunch of things and a big bag in his hands.
"Granddaughter-in-law, come here quickly and let grandma see how thin you are! How are you? Granddaughter-in-law, your parents are doing well, right? And is the boy or girl born by your sister-in-law?" said Grandma He.
"They are all fine, don't worry! My sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, and he looks a lot like my brother." Xiaomai said.
"Ah! It's another boy! He won't have anyone to play with for a long time." said Mrs. He.
"That's not so good. Now there is only one girl in Ting's friends' families, but every family has boys. No, we have to gather those guys together and have a second child as soon as possible." Xiaomai said.
"I think it's okay. Come, let grandma hold the little one." As Grandma He said this, she was about to reach out and take Jiujiu from Xiaomai's arms.
"This little girl might be a bit annoying. She looks small but quite chubby. I'd better let me hold her!" Xiaomai said.
"No matter how big the flesh is, it's only that big. Let me do it! Why are you afraid that grandma will drop your little princess? Although grandma is old, she is not so useless that she can't even hold a child. Come, give it to me!" Old Mrs. He insisted.
"Okay then! Grandma, you're overthinking it. I'm just afraid that you'll be tired." Xiaomai said as she handed Jiujiu to the old lady's arms, and the old lady gently took the child.
"Wow, it's really heavy, but grandma can still hold her. I finally have a great-granddaughter. This little girl is different! Her skin is so white that it's almost translucent, and her big, plump eyes are so pretty!" Grandma He held the girl and looked at her for a long time. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her!
"Xiaomai! You don't know, when Xiaoting was just born, I was hoping for a granddaughter, but I didn't expect it to be a boy. Then your parents-in-law died in a car accident, and grandma's dream of having a granddaughter was completely shattered. Unexpectedly, grandma's wish came true in the next generation. Thank you, grandma, for making our He Lingting family prosperous!" Old Mrs. He said with emotion as she looked at Xiao Jiujiu in her arms.
"Grandma, what is there to thank for? They are my children too. We are destined to be together!" Xiaomai said with a smile.
"Yes, it's fate that our family can be together!" The old lady said happily, and the old man also laughed. For a while, the whole living room was filled with laughter...
He Lingting put down his things and looked at the smiles on the faces of the elderly and children. The coldness in his heart began to melt and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. He turned to look at Xiaomai who was teasing her grandmother for a long time and his heart was filled with happiness.
Life is really wonderful. Originally, He Lingting had prepared himself for a lonely life, but He Tianxiang accidentally forced him to the little girl's side, which made him happy.
Seeing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law so happy, Grandpa He felt more at ease. He looked at his grandson and said, "Xiao Ting! Come to the study with Grandpa."
He Lingting said "hmm" and followed his grandfather upstairs. Grandma He played with Xiaomai and the children for a while and said to Xiaomai, "Xiaomai! You play with the children first. I'll go see how the kitchen is preparing. Is there anything you want to eat? Grandma asked the kitchen to make it."
"No need, grandma. They are still young and can't eat much. There's no need to go to such a hassle. Home-cooked meals will be fine." Xiaomai said.
"How can that be? You finally come back, so of course the meal has to be sumptuous, right? A reunion." Old Mrs. He asked her two great-grandsons.
"Let grandma arrange it. We like whatever she chooses." Tuantuan said sensibly.
"Grandma, please stay with the children! I'll go take a look and make some medicinal soup for you and grandpa. You should enjoy yourself today." Xiaomai said after settling Jiujiu down and went to the kitchen.
