âMeng Zhiqing is back.â On her way, she ran into a woman who, seeing Meng Yunhan carrying a child on her back and holding various bags in her hand, guessed that she was on her way to visit her sister-in-law, Yun Men.
Meng Yunhan gave a gentle smile in response, âYes, Iâm back.â She knew it was always good to respond with a smile to friendly gestures.
âYour sister-in-law, Xiaomen gave birth to a boy and a girl. Her mother-in-law didnât take care of them; it was your mother-in-law who did.â
A boy and a girl.
Xiaomen was really lucky.
Itâs not that easy to have both a boy and a girl.
âI have to go and see her. We can chat next time.â Meng Yunhan knew about the villagersâ enthusiasm. If they caught you, they would tell you all the recent happenings in the village. She was curious about what had been going on, but carrying Little Huzi and all her stuff, she was genuinely tired and wanted to find a place to rest.
The woman was not offended, âOkay, okay.â
Many people greeted Meng Yunhan along the way, and she always responded with a smile.
Finally, she arrived at Yun Menâs house.
âAunt, aunt!â Little Zhuzi had slipped out to play for a while, and when he returned and saw his aunt at the door, he called out excitedly.
Because of Little Zhuziâs loud voice, everyone in the house was startled.
The two children were startled by their brotherâs voice, and Yun Men gently patted them.
âMom, Meng Yunhan is here.â Yun Men whispered.
When Yun Menâs mother heard her daughterâs words.
âSheâs back! Sheâs back! Thatâs great!â
Meng Yunhan, carrying her things, entered Yun Menâs room, âXiaomen, I heard you gave birth, so I brought some things to see you.â
Then she turned to Yun Menâs mother, âMom.â
âIâll help you put down Little Huzi.â Yun Menâs mother was somewhat excited. It had been so long since sheâd seen her grandson.
When she put down Little Huzi, he woke up, opened his blurry eyes and looked around.
Yun Men was fascinated when she saw Little Huzi.
âHe looks so much like his father.â Yun Men couldnât help but want to touch Little Huzi; he really looked like his father.@@novelbin@@
Yun Menâs mother also looked at Little Huzi. He looked very healthy and pudgy, cared for by Yunhan.
âAunt, what tasty things did you bring me?â Little Zhuzi, who had been overlooked for a while, had been missing his aunt for a long time.
Meng Yunhan couldnât resist pinching his little face, âI brought you some delicious things.â
She took out some pastries from her bag, âBe sure to eat slowly.â
âWhy did you bring so much stuff?â They hadnât had a Full Moon Wine celebration for the kids because money was tight.
âI couldnât be sure if you had given birth. When I returned from the army, I was revising. Yesterday, I completed my exams. Some people said you had given birth, so I came to see you.â Meng Yunhan explained why she only came to visit Yun Men now.
âDid you take the university exam? Are you confident of getting in?â
Yun Menâs mother also turned her head to look at Meng Yunhan, wanting to know if she thought she could make it?
Being among family, Meng Yunhan was more straightforward, âI should be able to make it!â
To get in?
Yun Menâs mother was both relieved and in awe.
But Yun Men wasnât as concerned as her mother, âHow much does university tuition cost? Do you have enough money? If not, we could help.â
It would be a shame if she got in but couldnât afford to go.
