After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the time and realized it was almost time, so he called his two children to prepare to go to his parents-in-law's house.
"Xiaodong, Xiaoduo, hurry up and get dressed, we're going to Grandpa and Grandma's house!"
The two little ones were already prepared, and Huang Ruiying even brought her trumpet along.
Huang Xiaochuan discussed with her, "Xiaoduo, let's not bring the small one! We'll be back after dinner."
The little girl immediately hugged the box containing the trumpet to her chest: "No! I want to play it for my grandparents and my uncles and aunts."
Huang Xiaochuan could only compromise, saying, "Fine, fine, then you can take it!"
Sometimes Huang Xiaochuan would ask himself if he was spoiling his daughter too much, but he would immediately dismiss the idea. In his opinion, he was not spoiling his daughter because most of her behavior was within the bounds and she did not make any fundamental mistakes. So why should he demand that his daughter not do this or that?
In a child's mind, there are many things in the world that need to be explored. Therefore, Huang Xiaochuan believes that any exploration of new things should be encouraged as long as they do not go beyond the boundaries.
For example, if a little girl wants to learn to play the trumpet, Huang Xiaochuan will of course support her. Although it's just noise at first, as long as she perseveres, there will eventually be a time when the hardship will be over. Isn't that how it is now? At least she can play a complete version of "Singing for the Motherland".
Moreover, the little girl had secretly practiced this piece in advance for National Day, which shows that her values are correct. As a father, Huang Xiaochuan was very gratified.
After the three of them got on the bus, the little girl didn't see her mother, so she asked her father, "Where's my mom?"
Huang Xiaochuan rolled her eyes at this ungrateful brat. Her mother was always controlling her, but she was still closest to her mother. It was a waste of her mother's love.
Despite being angry, I still told her, "Your mother has something to do; she'll go directly over later."
"Oh!" The little girl finally gave up.
The van carrying the father and his two children drove directly into the Yu family's courtyard.
As soon as the automatic car door opened, Huang Ruiying ran into the house carrying a small suitcase.
Huang Zeji calmly followed his father into the house.
Upon entering, Huang Zeji greeted his maternal grandparents, saying, "Grandpa! Grandma!"
Meanwhile, the little girl was snuggling up to her grandmother, Zheng Aiying, while Yu Wei's son, Yu Chengping, was circling around the box in Huang Ruiying's hand, looking very interested in what was inside.
When Old Yu saw his grandson, he smiled and waved for him to come over.
After Huang Zeji approached, Lao Yu said to him, "How about playing a couple of rounds with me?"
Although Huang Zeji knew that playing chess with his grandfather wouldn't bring him a sense of accomplishment, he still nodded in agreement, as he felt that as long as it made his grandfather happy, that was enough.
Seeing that his grandson had agreed, Old Yu happily went to set up the chessboard.
To be precise, this is not a chessboard, but a chess table made entirely from a single piece of Phoebe zhennan wood root. The chess pieces are also carved from Phoebe zhennan wood. This chess table was a birthday gift from Lao Yu's eldest son-in-law, Huang Xiaochuan, when he turned sixty.
At this moment, Yu Wei and Tang Yuan also came in from the backyard. The two had just gone to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. That small vegetable garden was opened up by Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying when they had nothing to do. All summer long, the long beans, eggplants, loofahs and peppers grew very well. They were completely self-sufficient in these vegetables and even shared a lot with Zeng Lijuan.
The vegetable garden was nearing completion, and Yu Wei and Tang Yuan went to pick some lettuce to bring back. Zheng Aiying was going to make garlic lettuce later.
Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, his nephew, and niece, Yu Wei asked, "Oh, when did you guys arrive?"
"Uncle, Aunt!" The two little ones greeted their two elders politely.
Huang Xiaochuan replied, "We just arrived too!"
As Yu Wei handed the lettuce to Tang Yuan, he asked, "What kind of tea would you like?"
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand dismissively: "Anything's fine, I'm not picky!"
Yu Wei, who knew Huang Xiaochuan well, laughed and scolded, "I don't believe you for a second. You're not particular about tea? I know you well enough. Of all the people I know, you're the most particular about tea."
After looking several times, Yu Wei couldn't seem to find his older sister, Yu Xiang, so he asked, "Where's my sister?"
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his watch: "Oh! She went to Ruijin this morning to check on the progress of the clinical trial. She told me before she left that she would come directly over later, and I reckon it will be soon."
Yu Wei then turned around and went to find tea leaves.
Twenty minutes later, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei had just finished drinking a few cups of tea when Yu Xiang arrived.
Upon entering, there was a round of greetings and pleasantries. By then, the food was ready, and Zheng Aiying invited everyone to sit down and prepare to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Zheng Aiying glanced at her eldest son-in-law, who was drinking with Lao Yu and Yu Wei, and quietly asked her eldest daughter sitting next to her.
"Is Xiaochuan's second sister-in-law pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
Yu Xiang was busy preparing a steamed yellow croaker when she heard her mother's question and shook her head: "I don't know."
"Didn't you help arrange to check if it was a boy or a girl?" Zheng Aiying felt that this was an easy thing to do, but the other party just didn't check, so she was a little puzzled.
Yu Xiang patiently explained to her mother, Zheng Aiying, "Mom! Xiao Chuan's parents both said that it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, what's the point of checking? As long as the fetus is healthy, that's all that matters."
At this moment, Zheng Aiying glanced at her eldest son-in-law again and saw that he was busy drinking and had no time to pay attention to this side, so she told her eldest daughter about her worries.
"It would be fine if it were a girl, but I'm afraid it would be a boy."
Yu Xiang was puzzled. What did it matter to her family whether her second uncle had a boy or a girl? What was wrong with her mother?
As her own daughter, Zheng Aiying knew her temperament well. Seeing Yu Xiang like this, she knew that her eldest daughter had not understood the meaning behind her words.
Enraged, she lightly slapped her eldest daughter: "You can't be clueless either, can you?"
Now Yu Xiang understood what her mother meant. She couldn't help but laugh. This was really worrying unnecessarily. Why did her mother become more and more prone to overthinking as she got older?
"Mom! Don't overthink it. The kind of thing you're thinking about is absolutely impossible."
Zheng Aiying believed that she had experienced far more than her eldest daughter, and upon hearing her eldest daughter's words, she immediately wanted to give her a good lesson.
However, before she could speak, Yu Xiang told her that Huang Xiaochuan had already made proper arrangements for the assets, and that the kind of thing she was worried about would not happen.
Only then did Zheng Aiying finally relax completely: "So that's how it is?"
She couldn't help but look at her eldest son-in-law again, becoming more and more satisfied. This eldest son-in-law was truly meticulous in his work, and how could he think so far ahead? No wonder he had such amazing wealth at such a young age.
