In Xiao Baichuan's memory, his grandfather didn't look like this.

He Hongjin was stunned for a moment, then put his hands away awkwardly, laughed "haha", and rubbed his head.

It’s understandable that children are shy when meeting each other for the first time.

It was because of this refusal to acknowledge his "grandfather" that He Hongjin felt an unspeakable knot in his heart.

Lu Miao patted Bai Chuan's head, and seeing something, he said to He Hongjin:

"Uncle, he's young and a little shy. Don't be surprised by his appearance. Get to know him better in the next two days and he will recognize you."

He Hongjin smiled and waved his hands:
"It's okay, it's just a small matter, as long as you are back."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said:

"You didn't eat much in the car, did you? Your aunt got up as soon as the rooster crowed this morning! She stewed a big pot of chicken. I'll ask her to serve it to you."

"Hey."

We are all family, there is no need to be shy.

Lu Miao responded promptly.

Among the children, the three older ones are very close to the old couple.

It’s Xiaobaichuan.

After he turned one year old, Lu Miao no longer restricted him from crawling and walking everywhere.

The little guy is usually very active, running around everywhere, holding on to the cabinets and walls.

It’s my first time back to my hometown. I’m probably still shy and have become like before when I couldn’t even walk. I can’t live without people.

Want mom to hold me.

If mom is not available, dad will hold the baby.

During the meal, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou took turns.

The old couple just watched from the side and wanted to reach out and give the child a hug, but they were afraid of making the child cry.

Later it was time for a nap, the little one relaxed, lay on his dad's shoulder, opened his mouth and drooled.

He was sleeping soundly when the old couple took him and held him for a while.

"This one looks the most like his father. Look at his eyebrows, the peaks of his brows, and his little mouth. They're also carved from the same mold!"

Chen Guifen was beaming with joy, and she touched the child's face carefully as if she was holding a piece of gold in her arms.

Mingyi and Mingxia both have some similarities with their father, but now that their little faces are gradually growing, they look more like their mother.

Baichuan has thick eyebrows from his mother, and the dark color between his eyebrows makes his eyebrows more prominent.

After all, Chen Guifen raised Fu Jingyou, so she could tell at a glance at Xiao Baichuan.

He Hongjin didn't say anything. He just stretched his neck to look at him, touched the back of his head, and just smiled and nodded.

"Xiao Liu said you guys had your first birthday celebration in the city?"

He Hongjin looked at Lu Miao and asked, "Can the village still handle this trip?"

He Hongjin wanted to hold one to make it lively.

Another thing is that they were not around when the children were having the ceremony in the capital, so they had no idea what the little ones were doing.

Lu Miao didn't want to go through so much trouble, so he shook his head and said:
"We won't do it after we've done it once. If we do it several times for one anniversary, outsiders will hear about it and think we want to take advantage of the gifts from both sides."

He Hongjin said "Oh" and touched the child's head, feeling a little regretful.

Lu Miao continued, "I can stay for half a month this time. Let's see if my second brother and the others are free. We can prepare some good food and wine and sit down to have a good meal together. It's the same."

He Hongjin thought about it and nodded with a smile.

The youngest child is very shy to begin with, and if too many people come, he will be frightened.

At this season, early season rice is being threshed in the threshing grounds on both sides of the village.

There were many people leading cows and carrying loads along the road. It was difficult to drive to the door of the house over there, so after Fu Jingyou finished his meal here, he took the key to the front door from He Hongjin.

I ran twice to deliver the luggage, and then turned back to pick up my wife and children.

The house was renovated last year, and before coming back this time, the old couple came over early to help clean up.

The room was not only bright, the tables and chairs were clean, and the mat on the bed was also laid.

On the kitchen stove, rice, grain and oil for three meals were also prepared.

The old couple are both honest people and are good parents.

They haven't seen each other for a while, and the younger generations seldom come back, so the two old people have made up their minds not to let the younger generations worry about anything.

These……

Lu Miao saw it all.

Although it is still the 1980s, the rhythm in rural and urban areas is still different.

A while ago in northern Beijing, Lu Miao was always so busy that he had no time to rest, and he was always worried on his way back.

Now that she was home, she felt relieved.

Be busy when you should be busy, and rest when you should rest.

Lu Miao slowly relaxed, but to be honest, she hadn't been busy around the boiler and stove preparing three meals a day for a long time.

It took me two days to get used to the new environment after I came back.

The children's father was also considerate and didn't give her too much to worry about.

He washes the clothes that adults and children take off every day.

Because of this, Tianzao heard the news that they had returned, and came over from the brigade carrying brown sugar and an old hen with a pregnant belly.

When he saw me when he came in, he joked, saying that washing clothes is not something a man can do.

He was clumsy and teased Lu Miao without worrying that Fu Jingyou would tear his clothes.

Tianzao remembers Lu Miao's kindness in her heart.

If Lu Miao hadn't taught her to read and take the college entrance examination, how could she have the good life she has now?
After putting the things down, Tianzao rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help with the laundry.

Her belly looked to be five or six months pregnant, so how could Lu Miao dare to let her do this?

She quickly asked Fu Jingyou to take the basin to the backyard to wash it. She stopped Tianzao, poured him some tea, and sat down to talk with him:
"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you are getting married and having children."

"That's right! When you first went to the capital, you were holding both babies in your arms. Look at them running and jumping now!"

Tianzao smiled, took a sip from the teacup, and then stared into the teacup:
"Isn't this the tea we brewed ourselves? It smells so good! Hmm... it tastes good at first, but after I swallow it, it slowly becomes a little astringent?"

Tianzao found it strange that one tea leaf could have so many flavors.

Lu Miao nodded and said with a smile: "It's Pu'er tea, and it was also given to me by someone else. I have a big brick of tea here, I'll break some off for you to take back."

“Can tea leaves be made into bricks?”

Tianzao stood up smartly without any hesitation:

"Sister-in-law, I won't be polite to you anymore. I want to see the world!"

Lu Miao was amused by her and took her directly to the room to get some tea.

I originally brought it back to entertain guests. It’s quite a big piece.

Bringing trouble.

If they can't finish drinking it, they will leave it for the elderly at home. The situation in the south is different from that in the north. If the water is not collected properly, it will easily become damp.

It's better to use it up quickly.

Without any tools to pry the tea bricks open, Lu Miao simply started to gently smash it along the edge of the table, making "duangduangduang".

Tianzao was sharp-eyed. She saw Baichuan sleeping on the bed. She sat over and looked at the child attentively:
"I was just talking about the child, but I forgot about it after drinking some tea...Sister-in-law, this is the baby you gave birth to later, right?" (End of this chapter)
