Chapter 1730 - 1732: Chu Mansion Reunion (Part 3)
"The in-law is right, indeed, as long as we are safe, that’s all that matters." Madam Chu said this as she teased Little Liufu, reaching out to hold Little Liufu’s little hand, "Is your grandma right?"
Little Liufu seemed to understand again, nodding and agreeing.
This made Madam Chu extremely happy, "Sir, did you hear that? He answered me."
At this moment, Master Chu was also smiling broadly, "Yes, I heard it."
Turning to Little Liufu, he said, "Ah, this little one is smart indeed."
The two elders teased the little one together, making Little Liufu giggle continuously.
Old Yang watched from the side, not feeling anything unusual, only sensing that people of their age are closer with the younger generation.
Thinking back to his days as a young man, they were a bit tense with their first child. But as more children were born, they wouldn’t feel so anxious anymore. Yet, they were extremely nervous for their children’s children, "In-laws, in-law, Xiangxiang will soon give birth too, then you will have a big grandson to hold."
"Yes, by then, the two of us old ones will have nothing much to do, we’ll stay at home just to take care of the children." Master Chu said.
At this point, Madam Chu spoke, "Little Liufu will be just about a year apart from our Xiangxiang’s child. When the child is born, let the two children play together more. Anyway, Yang Family Village and Shibao Town aren’t far apart. By then, you can come over with the children, or we can go to you with the children. After all, the four of us old folks will be revolving around the two children, and we’ll be enjoying peace and happiness."
Listening to this, Old Yang was also delighted, "That’s wonderful."
With the child around, the four elders wouldn’t have awkward conversations; they would all be focused around the child.
Little Liufu seemed to know he’d met his maternal grandparents, reaching out proactively wanting a hug.
This made Master Chu thrilled, "Oh my, this little guy is asking me to hold him then, come, let me hold you and see how heavy you’ve gotten."
Reaching out his hand, Little Liufu indeed let him hold him. As Master Chu held him, he said, "This child isn’t afraid of strangers."
Yang Ming’s mother smiled and said, "Now he’s starting to recognize strangers, unlike when he was little and would let anyone hold him. Now when a stranger holds him, he cries. Today he’s probably happy, proactively letting you hold him."
Seeing his eldest grandson, Master Chu was so happy he let out a hearty laugh, "Hahaha, he’s comfortable with us."
In his heart, he thought, there’s still that familial bond, he knows it’s his grandpa.
Master Chu loved holding him so much that he didn’t want to put him down. Madam Chu was a bit anxious; she hadn’t had the chance to hold her grandson yet, "Come, let me hold this little guy."
The elders were busy fussing over Little Liufu, joyfully engaged.
Teasing him, holding him, watching him crawl, etc.
And then feeding him something, or it would be changing his diaper.
Because of this child, time flew by quickly, and before they knew it, it was lunchtime.
Until the household servant came to ask when to serve the meal, did everyone realize the time was not early anymore, Master Chu instructed the Little Maid, "We’ll head over now, go call the young master and have them go to the dining hall directly."
After Little Maid left, Madam Chu and Master Chu were still reluctantly teasing Little Liufu.
Little Liufu seemed to know everyone was going to eat, and before long, he leaned against Madam Chu’s shoulder and fell asleep.
Madam Chu took Little Liufu into her room, gently placing him down like a treasure, and found someone to watch over him during his nap, then the four elders went to the dining hall.
