Laughter filled the room, showing the close relationship among the people inside.
“Your children have such a good relationship.” Miao Qingqing looked enviously towards the room’s entrance, wishing her own family had the same atmosphere.
Unfortunately, that was impossible, as her eldest grandson was no longer at home and the younger two wouldn’t laugh and talk like this.
“Their relationship is quite good.” Nangong Shu didn’t deny it; after all, it’s the wish of every parent to see their children get along well.
“Your children are so sensible and well-behaved. You’ll surely enjoy your blessings later.” Miao Qingqing said with a smile.
“Whether I enjoy my blessings or not, I just want the three of them to be safe and happy.” To Nangong Shulan, peace and happiness was more important for her children than anything else.
“That’s true, children are parent’s debts, some are here to repay kindness, while some are here to demand repayment.” Miao Qingqing also hoped that her family would be safe and happy, but some things were out of her control.
At the very least, she couldn’t do anything about her absent eldest grandson.
But her greatest concern was still this grandson who hadn’t sent any news in more than a decade. Had he not figured things out after all these years?
Lost in her thoughts, Miao Qingqing went silent, and Nangong Shulan, not knowing what to say since it was their first meeting, made the atmosphere a bit cold.
It wasn’t until the sound of a child crying broke the awkwardness.
“The child’s cry is so loud, seems like he has good lung capacity.” Miao Qingqing felt inexplicably happy upon hearing the crying.
“That’s Yu Chen’s cry, the second child, he’s always been loud when crying.” Nangong Shulan also thought that the little boy was like a big speaker.
Qin Xue picked up Yu Chen and felt his wet bottom; he was a child who wouldn’t tolerate any discomfort and would cry loudly whenever he became even slightly wet.
After Qin Xue changed his diaper, the loud crying finally stopped, and Yu Chen looked around with his big eyes.
When he noticed people nearby, he looked at them quietly, occasionally blinking his eyes. It was so adorable.
“Sister, he is so cute.” Qin Jiale was very happy to see him awake as he usually was asleep when she finished her schoolwork.
“You wouldn’t think he’s cute when he cries.” Qin Xue was grateful that her two children were relatively easy to care for and didn’t cry too much; otherwise, she would have had a hard time.
“How could that be? Right, Yu Chen? You’re always cute.” Qin Jiale spoke with a smug smile.
“Keep complimenting him.” Qin Xue looked at her sister speechlessly, wondering if she had a baby obsession.
“Sister, I’m going back to the shop now. I’ve been delayed for half a day.” Qin Yu decided it was time to return to the store.
“Alright, just make sure to arrange your night school before handling the shop’s business, and remember that money can never be earned completely.” Qin Xue reminded her brother, worried.
“Got it, sister.” Qin Yu knew he would be attending night school soon, and managing the shop would leave him with little time to be distracted.
“Mom, I’m going back to the shop.” Qin Yu went out and told his mother.
“Aren’t you waiting for dinner?” Nangong Shulan asked, looking at her son.
“No, I’ve delayed half a day already.” Qin Yu thought that he had to attend night school soon and needed to arrange things properly.
“Alright, be careful on the road.” Nangong Shulan reminded her son.
“Alright, I know. Grandma Miao, let’s go.” Qin Yu didn’t forget to bring along the guest he had invited.
“Ah, alright.” Miao Qingqing stood up.
“Mom, we’re leaving.” Qin Yu waved his phone at his mother.
Miao Qingqing didn’t know why, but she didn’t want to leave this place. She felt as if the person she was looking for was almost within her grasp.
However, there was nowhere for her to stay in this small area, and no one would allow an unfamiliar person like her to stay in the army base.
