Chapter 1720: Great-grandpa, Come Save Us Quickly

What they hadn't expected was that this matter wasn't over yet.

On the second day of the New Year this year, they were supposed to go to their eldest uncle's house for a meal together.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled the fragrance filling the entire yard.

Hearing the commotion, the eldest aunt came out to greet them: "Come in quickly, come in quickly."

Liu Chuxue joked, "Eldest aunt, what delicious food have you made? We could smell the fragrance even outside the main gate."

The eldest aunt laughed, "If it smells good, that's exactly right. This is stewed meat I specially learned from someone. I guarantee you'll all like it. I stewed extra today on purpose; when you leave, I'll give each of you some to take."

Liu Chuxue smiled, "That's wonderful. I've been waiting for it."

Today, Duan Ruirui and the others didn't come back for the New Year, saying they would definitely be transferred back in the second half of the year, and since the children were too young, it wasn't worth the back-and-forth trouble.

Zhang Haitang saw Liu Chuxue and Xia Qiu, along with Fu Yan Cheng and Qiu Shaofeng behind them, all carrying things to the brim: "You two, just bringing a little would have conveyed the meaning; why bring so much?"

Liu Chuxue smiled as she put the items down by the corner of the wall: "Naturally, since the eldest uncle and eldest aunt treat us so well, we must show our filial piety properly."

Zhang Haitang loved hearing those words, her smile so wide it wouldn't close: "Oh, I love hearing that. But your aunt really lacks nothing. Just having you here makes me happy. Don't spend so much like this in the future; you still have to raise your children."

Xiao Mu watched the intimacy between her two daughters and her eldest sister-in-law, and a hint of jealousy stirred in her heart.

Although she said nothing, her expression was truly far from pleasant.

But whether it was Liu Chuxue, Xia Qiu, or Zhang Haitang, none of them paid any attention to her expression.

Xiao Nianchun squeezed over at this moment: "Oh my, you've forgotten me, your little aunt, now that you have the eldest aunt. I'm getting jealous."

Liu Chuxue glanced at the little uncle who had just come in: "Little aunt, you're coquettish in the wrong place; my little uncle is right there."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room burst out laughing.

Tears of laughter streamed from Zhang Haitang's eyes: "Alright, alright, stop teasing your little aunt; your little uncle's face has turned red.

You rest for a while, pour yourselves some water to drink; I'll go check the dishes in the kitchen first."

As a result, Xia Qiu and Liu Chuxue said in unison, "We'll go too."

Xiao Nianchun also smiled: "I'll go help out as well."

Meanwhile, the children in the house surrounded Xiao Changjiang: "Eldest uncle, what about the iron ring you promised me? Is it finished yet?"

That voice was clearly Shi Tou's.

Xiao Changjiang patted his forehead: "You kid have such a good memory. Wait, I'll go get it right now."

At this, Junjun protested: "Great-grandpa, I want one too."

Xiao Changjiang must have anticipated this scene, smiling as he said, "Yes, yes, yes, there's enough for everyone."

At this, all the little ones jumped up: "Oh, that's great."

Even the triplets joined in the cheers.

As Xiao Changjiang walked out, the little ones followed him.

Only the older ones, Junjun and Shi Tou, could step over the threshold themselves, but the triplets were in an awkward spot.

Fu Bao and Kang Bao each took one side, both straddling the threshold, unable to climb over no matter what, and in a panic, they cried out in baby voices: "Great-grandpa, come save us quickly."

Their comical appearance made everyone inside and outside the house double over with laughter.

Fu Yan Cheng and Liu Chuxue had no intention of stepping forward to help; after all, their two sons were calling for Great-grandpa.

The two of them just stood there watching their two sons struggle with the threshold, uncharitably offering a comment now and then.

This made Le Bao, who was on the same side as his older and younger brothers, angry: "Mom, Dad, stop laughing, hurry and help your older and younger brothers."
