Da Bao placed a large jar of plum juice on the corner of the table, panting, and said, "Mom, Uncle Yin Quan is back! The hospital said he finished work!"

Grandma Qin calculated the time, "We should be home soon. No need to wait, let's eat if we're hungry!"

Ruan Tinghe then asked Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, where's Brother Xiaolong?"

Xiao Bao shrugged, and A Ze said, "Xiao Long isn't coming; his mom made something delicious."

Ruan Tinghe exclaimed in surprise, "Xiaolong's mother is completely cured?"

Aze nodded: "Yeah! As soon as she speaks, Grandma Xiaolong doesn't dare to say anything anymore. She's really fierce!"

Ruan Tinghe could picture the scene; it seemed that after Liang Yali recovered from her illness, she had regained control of the household!

"Here!" Aze pulled five eggs from his pocket. "Here you go!"

The eggs were stuffed into Ruan Tinghe's arms, and she hurriedly held them up.

"Where did this come from? Did Little Dragon's mother give it to you?"

Aze: "Yes! Here! Sister, have some!"

Ruan Tinghe patted his head, "Okay, sister will eat. Aze brought back so many eggs and didn't break them, that's great!"

Yin Ze was as happy as a puppy that had received a bone after having his head patted!

Yin Quan had just returned when he saw this scene, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

Aze likes Ruan Tinghe very much, and so does Grandma.

She truly brought something different to this family.

"Brother!" Yin Ze was the first to see Yin Quan and ran over to greet him cheerfully, "Brother! Let's have hot pot!"

"Okay, let's have hot pot together!"

He almost cramped his hands from working so hard to prepare this family reunion dinner.

I finally finished all my work by the time I was supposed to finish work.

Once everyone was present, Grandma Qin invited them to sit down.

"Everyone's standing, sit down! It's time to eat!"

As darkness fell and the night breeze picked up, it was the perfect time to enjoy a hot pot to warm ourselves up.

Everyone took their seats. The third boy was too short; even standing on a stool, he couldn't reach the food in the hot pot.

Moreover, the edge of the hot pot was very hot, and Ruan Tinghe was worried that the children might accidentally get burned.

"Everyone stand still. Tell Mom what you want to eat, and Mom will get it for you, okay?"

The three little ones were a bit disappointed; even standing on tiptoe, they couldn't see the food in the pot.

Grandma Qin suggested, "Why don't you each carry one?"

As she spoke, Grandma Qin began to distribute the items.

"Little Bao, come to Great-Grandma's, Great-Grandma will hold you while you eat."

Xiao Bao's eyes lit up, and he ran to Grandma Qin's side with his little bowl in his hand.

Grandma Qin lifted her onto her lap, and Xiao Bao, sitting on her lap, could see what was in the pot.

Da Bao felt he was too strong, and that his mother would get very tired if she had to hold him while he ate.

His gaze darted back and forth between Shen Yan and Yin Quan. Just as Shen Yan was about to reach out to hug Da Bao, he took Da Bao and hugged Yin Quan's leg instead.

"Uncle, can you hold me while I eat? I'm a good girl! I'll eat whatever you put on my plate!"

"Little brother, let Mom hold you while you eat! You're lighter!"

Erbao naturally wanted Ruan Tinghe to hold him. When Ruan Tinghe saw that Dabao had been picked up by Yin Quan, she also picked up Erbao and placed him on her lap.

The three little ones could finally see what was in the pot, and their eyes were glued to it, sometimes looking at the bubbling meatballs, sometimes at the gradually softening enoki mushrooms.

I want to eat them all!

Everyone, get moving!

Shen Yan looked at his empty arms, and saw that even the cold-faced Yin Quan had a warm baby in his arms.

My heart aches so much!

It's all because of this damn hand!

Why did I have to get injured now of all times?!

Now that Ruan Tinghe is holding Erbao in her arms, he is too ashamed to let Ruan Tinghe feed him any longer!

Watching everyone enjoy their meal, Shen Yan could only use a spoon to scoop vegetables from the pot.

I'm so annoyed!

A pair of cold eyes glared fiercely at Li Liang, who was wolfing down his food.

Li Liang was enjoying his meal when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being pricked by needles!

He cautiously raised his eyes and met Shen Yan's murderous gaze.

He looked completely bewildered. How had he offended Brother Shen again?

Shen Yan gave him a wink, signaling him to look at Erbao himself.

Li Liang finally understood.

He scooped up Erbao and sat him on his lap.

"Erbao, come eat with Uncle Li Liang! Your mom must be tired carrying you!"

Erbao chewed on his meatballs, still looking confused.

How did he end up in Uncle Li Liang's arms?

However, he thought that his mother must be quite tired from holding him while he ate, so he didn't ask to go back to Ruan Tinghe's arms to eat.

Grandma Qin saw through it but didn't say anything. This boy was afraid that Hehe wouldn't be able to carry him, but why wasn't he afraid that she, an old woman, wouldn't be able to carry him?

But the baby is tiny, soft, and very light.

She'd be unhappy if anyone tried to take Xiaobao away from her!

Ruan Tinghe didn't care much about Erbao being taken away. Seeing that Erbao didn't resist, she just ate her own food.

Just then, Shen Yan handed his bowl to Ruan Tinghe.

"Comrade Ruan! I want to eat potatoes."

Ruan Tinghe didn't even look at him: "If you want to eat, then help yourself!"

Shen Yan looked troubled: "My hand hurts, my left hand is useless!"

"Then use a spoon."

"The spoon came with soup, and I don't want to drink that soup!"

Their back-and-forth conversation drew everyone's attention.

Ruan Tinghe felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she nudged Shen Yan under the table to tell him to stop fooling around, but Shen Yan acted as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, I'll get you some food, alright?"

In the end, Ruan Tinghe reluctantly put a piece of potato on Shen Yan's plate.

Fortunately, Shen Yan did not ask Ruan Tinghe to feed him again, otherwise Ruan Tinghe would definitely not have done it in front of so many people!

Shen Yan ate his food with a fork, which was quite convenient.

He would let Ruan Tinghe pick out whatever he wanted to eat.

If Ruan Tinghe thinks something is delicious, she will also take the initiative to put it on his plate.

The children had small appetites; they only ate a bite or two of each dish before fussing about going downstairs to play.

Yin Quan and Li Liang started drinking rice wine. Ruan Tinghe became interested and also took a sip. It was sweet and very fragrant.

However, she still prefers sour plum juice. A sip while eating hot pot is absolutely delicious!

Shen Yan also wanted to drink, but everyone stopped him.

Wounded soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol!

He could only eat the vegetables from the hot pot with the mushroom broth base; he wasn't allowed to eat anything spicy, so as not to affect his recovery.

The aroma of the hot pot wafted for miles, and we ate until after 9 p.m.

When everyone was helping to pack up, they discovered the table lamp that illuminated the entire yard.

"This light is way too bright!"

Li Liang was astonished, and when he discovered that the lamp wasn't even connected to a wire, his face was filled with disbelief.

"How can it be so bright even without a wire?"

Grandma Qin smiled and said, "This was a gift for Hehe, isn't it amazing? I've never seen such a bright lamp before! One of these is as good as several of our lamps!"

Li Liang was very interested: "I wonder where you bought it? I want to buy one too!"

Ruan Tinghe said warily, "I don't know either. Maybe it doesn't exist in China yet."

"That's such a pity! I wish we could produce such bright lights ourselves. I wonder if our military factories could produce them in the same style if they saw them."

"No, to study its production, we would have to take it apart to look at the internal parts and devices, which is easy to damage."

He does not mean that.

Erbao's little ears twitched, and he had an idea.
