Early the next morning in Xie Village, Li Chenze was on his way to the city with Zhang Ermu and Han Yuheng to pick up his family.
Meanwhile, at Li Lingyun’s house, Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianguo, Li Jingqian, Li Jingxu, and Dong Huang were busy watering the garden and harvesting vegetables.
Excited about her parents and brother returning today, Dong Huang had been in high spirits since yesterday. As she harvested tomatoes, she hummed a random tune in her milky voice.
Hearing her humming, Chen Jianguo came over and asked, "Xiao Huang, did something good happen? You look so happy."
Dong Huang nodded cheerfully and announced, "Brother Jianguo, my parents and brother are coming home today!"
Knowing how much she missed her family, Chen Jianguo smiled and replied, "It’s great that you will finally see them."
"I wonder what food my parents will bring back for me," Dong Huang added with anticipation.
Chen Jianguo chuckled at her words and said, "You really love to eat, don’t you? No wonder you are so round and cute."
Dong Huang looked at him, patted her bulging belly, and asked, "Brother Jianguo, do you think I have lost weight?"
Hearing this question, Chen Jianguo was stunned. He thought for a while and said, "Well, whether Xiao Huang loses weight or not, you are still cute. Your parents and brothers will still love you."
Hearing this, Dong Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That’s good. My mother said she likes Xiao Huang to be a little fatter than before."
After hearing her words, Chen Jianguo just smiled and said nothing since he really didn’t know what to say. After a brief conversation, the two continued to harvest vegetables.
After they were done with the work, Chen Jianmin gathered the harvested vegetables and stored them in the warehouse. Then, he led the children to Li Chenmo’s house and continued working. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Li Chenmo’s large garden had taken a while to tend to, but seeing the baskets brimming with fresh vegetables made the children feel that their effort was worthwhile.
While they were washing the dirt off their bodies, Dong Huang turned to Chen Jianmin and said, "Brother Jianmin, before my parents left for the capital, my father said you could take some vegetables home if you wanted."
Chen Jianmin nodded and said, "Alright, I will take some back."
"Okay!" Dong Huang agreed happily.
Afterward, Chen Jianmin took a share of the vegetables, escorted Dong Huang and the Li brothers back to Father Li’s house, and returned to his own home with his brother. After washing up and having a quick breakfast, he and his siblings headed to school.
While his siblings walked together, Chen Jianmin waited at the intersection for his little bride. The moment he saw her approaching, he rushed over and took her bag while saying, "Good morning, Shushu."
"Jianmin, there is no need for you to do this, I can carry it myself," Li Shu protested when her bag was taken away by him.
