Chapter 393 My Precious Darling
Grandma Qin slapped Tianhua on the head, seemingly with some force, but the movement was actually very light.
"What are you saying? We're all family. It's been years since we last met. Why are you being so formal?"
"Alright, alright, stop standing at the door and go home."
I returned to the familiar courtyard.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou moved back into the room they used to live in.
The room is only a few square meters in size. It can barely fit a small bed, a small cabinet, and a small table, and then there's no room for anything else.
A sense of familiarity washed over me, and long-buried memories resurfaced, making me recall that youthful and innocent past.
The couple felt a little awkward as they opened the door and put their luggage down.
It's mainly too small; it can't fit even a little bit of stuff.
The two children followed them in, leaving them nowhere to even put their feet.
Unlike before, when only the couple could barely squeeze in.
Xu Sui looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "This place definitely can't accommodate our family of four."
"How about this, I'll go next door and tell Mom later that I'll take Yao Yao to sleep next door, and you and Yan Yan can sleep inside."
The two houses are separated by only one wall, just a few steps away.
The room next door is more spacious, and her mother has kept the room she lived in before she got married, cleaning it regularly every month.
That room came in handy.
Qin Yunzhou's gaze fell on Xu Sui's face, and he saw that she was not joking.
"No need, we'll sleep here, let the brother and sister sleep next door."
"Perfect timing, Mom misses her two grandsons and granddaughters too, let them spend more time together."
Yan Yan and Yao Yao originally wanted to talk, but now they didn't want to anymore. They secretly looked up at their own father.
Dad is such a grown man, can't he learn to sleep separately from Mom?
Don't think they don't know that Dad likes to stick close to Mom. It's obvious that he's doing it on purpose, deliberately not wanting to be separated from Mom.
Qin Yunzhou seemed oblivious to the children's gazes.
He gave orders directly to the two children without asking for their opinions at all.
"Did you hear that? You two go stay at Grandma's house next door. If anything happens, just shout at the top of your lungs, and Mom and Dad will hear you."
Xu Sui: "..."
The two children: "..."
"I heard it, I heard it! I heard that Dad doesn't want to sleep in a separate bed from Mom." Yao Yao made a face at Qin Yunzhou and ran behind Xu Sui with a grin.
"Dad, why can't you learn to sleep alone? My brother and I have already learned to sleep alone, and you seem to be even worse than us."
"Yes, you're right. Dad just doesn't want to be separated from your mom." Qin Yunzhou admitted without changing his expression, making no attempt to hide it.
He stepped forward and pulled his daughter out from behind Xu Sui.
However, just as they found the person, Xu Sui stopped them.
"Alright, as long as they both agree, I have no objections."
"But the prerequisite is that they must agree voluntarily."
Although this is their hometown, the two children have almost no memory of the place and are completely unfamiliar with it.
If we really send both siblings next door, what if the two children get scared in the middle of the night?
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunzhou glanced at his daughter and son, and paused for a moment.
"Make any requests you like."
The two children exchanged a glance and decided to grant their father's request, but they didn't want him to succeed so easily, so they each made their own demands.
"Okay, we want Dad to take us there every night and pick us up every morning."
"Yes, we also want Dad to take us out to eat delicious food every day."
"And also, I want to ride on my dad's shoulders and have him take me to buy popsicles."
In recent years, apart from the initial days when we reunited at the military base, Dad has never let them ride on his shoulders again.
Yan Yan nodded, "I want one too."
Qin Yunzhou readily agreed; these things were nothing to him.
After agreeing, he immediately kicked the two children out and closed the door.
Fearing they might be hungry, they also slipped a bag of peach shortbread into each of their hands.
"Go outside and sit on the sofa in the living room to eat. Don't wander off."
Before long, Yan Yan and Yao Yao, brother and sister, each carrying a handful of peach shortbread, blinked their clear, bright eyes, still somewhat unaware of what was happening, before being kicked out of the house by their father.
At this moment, Tianhua and Grandma Qin also arrived. They knew what had happened as soon as they saw the situation.
They smiled, each holding one child's hand, and pulled the two children to sit down on the sofa.
Tian Hua, in particular, hadn't seen her eldest grandson and granddaughter in years. She couldn't help but excitedly hug the two children to her chest and gently touch their little faces.
"They look so alike, they really do."
"Yan Yan, Yao Yao, do you know who I am?"
"We know you're Grandma; Dad and Mom have mentioned Grandma to us."
Yao Yao is not shy and talks a lot. Sitting in Tian Hua's lap, she started counting on her fingers.
"I know Grandma, the child's Grandpa, the child's uncle, aunt, and little Baozhu..."
This immediately amused Tianhua, who kept calling her her granddaughter.
Yan Yan was always quiet and reserved, but he would occasionally nod in agreement with his sister. His warm and adorable manner made Tian Hua love him dearly.
"Good, good, good, you are all good children, the apples of Grandma's eye, her precious darlings."
Tian Hua holds old-fashioned views; in her generation, grandchildren are actually somewhat different.
Especially now, among the grandchildren of the Qin family, Yan Yan is the only boy.
He couldn't help but feel a strong fondness for Yan Yan, touching him here and there, thinking he looked just like his own son.
Unfortunately, she's the only one in the family right now; everyone else is still at get off work, so she hasn't been able to attract anyone's attention.
After closing the door inside, Qin Yunzhou, being very perceptive, began making the bed and packing his luggage.
Throughout the entire process, Xu Sui didn't have to worry about anything or lift a finger. In fact, they were worried that she might be hungry, so they fed her some snacks and made her a cup of malted milk powder.
Let her sit there and rest.
Seeing the man make a move, Xu Sui simply sat down to rest. After sitting on the train for five or six days, she was actually quite tired.
To be honest, that's exactly what she likes about Qin Yunzhou.
He rarely caused her much worry, and he was always attentive to his work. He wasn't chauvinistic at all, and he would take care of any household chores whenever he had the time and was capable of doing them.
Xu Sui, on the other hand, is too busy. Sometimes, after a long day outside, she doesn't want to do anything when she gets home.
Fortunately, given their financial situation, the couple could afford a nanny; otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to make ends meet.
Qin Yunzhou used a handkerchief to wipe the entire room with water and made up the bed and everything else.
