Chapter 1769 - 1771: First Time Returning to Her Own Home
Because this was the first time Yang Xia returned home, Xiaoxiao and her two sisters-in-law agreed to come back early from their parents’ homes.
In the afternoon, everyone hurried back from their parents’ homes.
As soon as Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming entered the courtyard, Yang Dong came up to them, "Third sister-in-law, did you give it?"
"Yes, I gave it."
"Did she say anything?"
"She said thank you."
"Anything else?"
"No more."
"Oh."
Yang Dong didn’t say anything further and went straight to help unload the carriage.
He thought to himself, as long as she accepted it, it’s good.
Xiaoxiao, holding the child, went into the courtyard with Yang Ming. She had no idea what Yang Dong gave to Li Chuntao, thinking it was some kind of gift. It was wrapped quite tightly. It wasn’t until she reached Li Chuntao that she found out.
It turned out that Yang Dong brought hazelnuts for Li Chuntao. Bringing hazelnuts wasn’t surprising; what impressed her was Yang Dong’s thoughtfulness.
All the hazelnuts were shelled, which spared Li Chuntao the effort of peeling them. If Xiaoxiao had her way, Yang Dong would directly feed the hazelnuts to Li Chuntao. She felt she was enjoying a bit of sweet romance unknowingly.
As soon as they entered the house, they heard the news that Wang Xiangxiang had given birth.
On such a festive day, adding such great news truly doubled the joy.
As soon as Xiaoxiao got home, she handed the child over to Yang Ming and went to get busy with her sisters-in-law. However, there wasn’t much to do since Yang Ming’s mother and Xiaoqiu had almost finished everything at home. Yet, Yang Ming’s mother was still not at ease and asked Xiaoxiao to check if there were enough dishes and if anything else was needed.
Soon, the three little ones at home excitedly shouted, "Grandpa, Grandma, a carriage is coming; it’s big sister, it’s big sister."
Actually, the three little ones didn’t know if it was really big sister coming, but they were all hoping for it; whenever a carriage came, they assumed it was.
Once everyone heard the Guo Family’s carriage had arrived, they rushed to the main gate to welcome them.
At this time, the carriage had already reached the entrance of the Yang Family’s home.
On the carriage, Xiaotian felt a bit excited; this was her first time returning to her own home. Even though her mother had told her about the home, she still felt nervous when she suddenly heard Guo Feng say, "We’ve arrived."
Only then did she look up, holding the child, ready to get off the carriage.
Guo Feng opened the carriage door and saw the smiling faces of the Yang Family members, "You’re here, come inside quickly."
"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law... Happy New Year." Guo Feng jumped off the carriage and greeted everyone for the New Year.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year," everyone replied.
Guo Feng then went to take the child from Xiaotian’s arms, and only then did Xiaotian get off the carriage.
Xiaotian also greeted everyone for the New Year, "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law... Happy New Year."
"Yes, all good, all good, quickly come inside, don’t let the child catch a cold, cover the little face," said Old Yang, as everyone quickly entered the courtyard.
Yang Dong stayed behind with the coachman to tie the carriage and unload the gifts they brought.
The inside of the house was already heated up warmly, fearing that when they arrived, the child would catch a cold. Upon entering, Yang Ming’s mother went to the kang, spread out a blanket, "Quickly lay the child down, this kang is heated, take that blanket off the child, there’s a draft."
Following Yang Ming’s mother’s instructions, Guo Feng removed the outer blanket, revealing the child dressed in a small cotton jacket, and laid the child on the kang.
Small quilts and small pillows were all specially prepared by Yang Ming’s mother, fearing that when the child came, there wouldn’t be a place.
