Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Coming Back
In the evening, Han Xiangjun came back with the kids. Again with big bags and small bags.
"You’ll spoil them like this."
"I do want to spoil them, especially my Little Princess, but she simply doesn’t want it. I bought these stubbornly."
Zhao Xiaoli covered her mouth and laughed on the side. "You can’t spoil my Feifei."
Old Yang also returned. No special expression on his face.
The family had a pretty light dinner. But still, there were the sesame cakes and buns they brought back.
The kids organized their things by themselves. They hadn’t forgotten the three little ones at home.
After dinner, the Han father and son left. Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun went to the study.
The kids had bathed and changed clothes. Only then did they sit on the bed to tell mom about the movie they watched today.
Jiang Xinyu looked at Shi Xian’s excited look, really not knowing what to do. It’s like he’s hyperactive, there will be plenty to work on in the future.
The next day, the Han father and son came over again. Jiang Xinyu hastily asked Han Xiangjun, "Is there a hot spring nearby?"
"Xiao Jiang, you truly know how to enjoy life. But the nearest hot spring is a hundred miles away.
Want to go for a soak? We can go over together."
"I don’t know if Master Shang can go to the hot spring. How about we wait until Master Shang finishes seeing the traditional doctor before deciding?"
"Why not just ask the doctor? Chaoyang, go to the hospital and ask Vice Director Tang. If it’s okay, we can leave today and stay there for two days."
Chaoyang obediently rode his bike to the hospital. "Xiao Jiang, what made you think of hot springs?"
"Just haven’t tried it, want to give it a go, and now the opportunity seems pretty good."
Han Xiangjun just smiled, "You’ll know when Chaoyang comes back. I’ll go get another car so we can all go together."
"Will two cars be enough?"
"Your family takes one, and my father and I along with Old Yang take another. That leaves Master Shang, the nanny, and Chaoyang, which adds up to three cars."
Jiang Xinyu believes Han Xiangjun can manage it, but it feels too troublesome, yet if they take the truck, it’ll be too cold, with so many kids, afraid they’d catch cold.
"Xinyu, are we still going shopping for groceries?"
"Of course, need to prepare plenty of cabbage at home, even if we’re not here, your family also needs to eat."
The two women headed out with baskets, Shi Xian didn’t want to follow this time, knowing even if he wanted to go, mom wouldn’t agree, so he obediently played with his brother and sister.
They arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and saw the comrade riding a tricycle again, greeted with a smile.
Today they bought cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, and sugar.
So the two returned home with their baskets.
Seeing Chaoyang playing with Shi Xian, "How did it go? Can Master Shang go to the hot spring?"
"Vice Director Tang said it’s best if Master Shang doesn’t go, as sulfur isn’t good for Master Shang."
"Then we won’t go."
"Xiao Jiang, you can take the kids to play, I’ll stay at home just as well."
Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "If our family has a chance to have fun, we should all go together. Otherwise, we just won’t go."
"It’s really fine, I’ve been to hot springs before, the kids haven’t tried it."
"Let them grow up and go on their own later."
"Mom, can Brother Chaoyang take us to the movies?" Shi Jing asked.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "As long as Brother Chaoyang has time."
Let the kids have fun these days, they’re still young. They’re already quite sensible, so with the opportunity, I agreed to let them.
"Teacher Jiang, I’m fine." Even if there’s something, it’s scheduled later. Knowing Master Shang’s situation is just to recover, so Teacher Jiang’s family will definitely return home. I’ll be able to work then.
For lunch, they made steamed rice, cabbage tofu stew, vermicelli meat stew, and sour bamboo shoots with meat.
The kids don’t care for sour bamboo shoots much, luckily they didn’t cook a lot.
Seeing they barely eat, Jiang Xinyu poured chili oil over it, the flavor instantly improved, and the last plate of sour bamboo shoots was finished.
On the train, Guodong and the three all had Guodong go buy food and come back to eat, given too much luggage, not feeling assured.
Tomorrow they’re finally going home, Jing Chu is visibly a bit excited.
"Jing Chu, why are you not eating anymore?" Li Xue noticed her sister-in-law eating so little and felt a bit worried.
"I’m not hungry. Full from drinking porridge."
"She’s not hungry even if she doesn’t eat now." Guodong understood his sister’s thoughts. She is eagerly looking forward to going home.
"Brother, do you think Dad has warmed up the house?"
"Absolutely. Once we’re home, Dad won’t stay in the dormitory anymore."
"Brother, has Sister Xiaoli talked to you about wanting Dad to arrange to sell the house?"
Guodong nodded, "She talked about it, I also asked Xiao Qiang, their idea is the same."
"Selling is good, if Dad agrees to go back with us, then we’ll sell our house too."
"Dad won’t agree."
"It’s okay, Aunt Jiang can persuade Dad.
Aunt Jiang’s idea is once Dad retires, selling the house too, then buying a house for you and sister-in-law in the Capital."
"I’ve no objections, as long as Dad is willing."
"I’ll definitely find a way to persuade Dad, when the time comes, you two ought to improvise and cooperate with me."
Li Xue nodded with a smile. Guodong nodded helplessly.
With Dad pampering the sister so much, he’ll surely be moved then.
Days on the train are truly boring. But with the three chatting, time feels pretty quick.
Other than using the bathroom, the two girls hardly went out. Everything was left to Guodong.
Finally, they got off the train and saw Lv Beiguang, Jing Chu hugged her dad crying like a child.
Lv Beiguang patted his daughter’s back, "Alright, you’re home, you’re home."
The three had quite a bit of luggage but still managed to place it on Lv Beiguang’s bicycle.
The four returned home on foot. Li Xue saw this place and found it similar to her own, losing all the initial awkwardness.
"Dad, is the house warm?"
"Warm, I’ve fired up the stove. When are Aunt Jiang and the others coming?"
"Hard to say, depends on Master Shang’s results.
Aunt Jiang’s family will drive back, I’ll go to Aunt Jiang’s house tomorrow to organize."
"Then let’s go to Aunt Wang’s this evening to get the key. We can also bring her the good news."
When the father and sons returned home, Jing Chu stood in her room, seeing it unchanged, just as in her dreams, her eyes tearful.
"What do you three want to eat? Shall we go to the restaurant?"
"Dad, let me cook." Li Xue immediately suggested.
It’s not easy for them to come back, if they still eat outside, it goes against the intention of accompanying the elders.
"Yes, we’ll cook with sister-in-law, Dad, what do we have at home?"
