Just like in the earliest days, the children were still there.

He Hongjin glanced at Fu Jingyou vaguely, raised his chin towards the door as usual and ordered:

"Chop the wood on the steps and stack it up."

Fu Jingyou wiped his sweat and laughed, then unloaded his things and ran out to chop firewood.

Someone was chopping wood outside the door, and the hammer and chisel made a "clink-dang-dang" sound as they hit each other.

He Hongjin was half asleep and felt something was wrong when he heard it.

I realized it later and stood up to take a look, and what I saw was the back of a tall man.

"No, who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

He Hongjin walked in to take a look, and when he saw the man's profile, he exclaimed "Ouch".

When he got to the front, he kept uttering "ouch" repeatedly.

"You kid, you kid...you're back?"

"Yes, I'm back uncle."

Fu Jingyou stood there holding a hammer and chisel and smiling.

"Why are you back? Where are the children? Didn't they come back with you?"

He Hongjin pulled him up and down, his eyes full of disbelief:
"Why didn't you say hello when you came back this time? You came all the way back without even taking a break. What are you chopping wood for?"

He Hongjin took the hoe and chisel from his hand and threw them aside, then pulled Fu Jingyou into the house:
"Old woman, old woman, please come out!"

The weather during the Great Heat period can take half the life out of a person.

The hottest time is after lunch.

The heat waves on the ground were covering one layer after another.

For fear that people might get sick from the heat, the entire production team is now resting at home.

In the old He family's house, He Hongjin was sleeping on a reclining chair in the main room, while Chen Guifen was in the room.

Hearing He Hongjin's call, Chen Guifen got up reluctantly.

When she saw Fu Jingyou, Chen Guifen was also very surprised and touched him to examine him carefully:
"Have you lost weight? Why do I look like I've lost weight?"

"How could that be possible?"

Fu Jingyou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Miaomiao was in confinement some time ago. She couldn't eat much soup, so all the good food went into my stomach. Even if I lose weight, no one can make me lose weight."

"You kid..."

Chen Guifen was also amused by him and asked:
"How's Miao girl? How's the kids? And the youngest one?"

"It's all fine. Miaomiao said she wanted to come back together. Yangyang is still young and it's hard to deal with him, so I didn't let her go back."

Fu Jingyou moved to the table and unpacked the big bag he had brought back.

Take out the purchased Chinese medicine, food and drinks, and developed photos one by one:

"She also asked me to bring Dabao back for you to see, but I thought that since she was not around and I had not taken good care of him, I was afraid that he would get sick, so I did not bring him back."

Chen Guifen nodded:
"You've made the right decision. The child can't be separated from his mother even though he's still young. If he gets sick, it will be a big loss."

He Hongjin asked: "Have you given the little one a name? Is he Yangyang?"

Fu Jingyou looked back and forth between his uncle and aunt, and explained with a smile:

"My nickname is Yangyang, and my full name is Minghui."

"This name is good, it's easy to pronounce Lang Lang."

He Hongjin smiled and looked at the photos one by one with Chen Guifen.

Fu Jingyou brought back a thick stack of photos this time, all of which were of Lu Miao and the children.

Among them, photos of Lu Miao being pregnant accounted for one third.

Chen Guifen always remembered what happened when Lu Miao gave birth to her first child.

Looking at the photo of Lu Miao's belly getting bigger day by day, Chen Guifen felt very distressed.

Fortunately, in the following photos, Lu Miao gave birth smoothly, her belly became flat, and she had a baby in her arms.

Chen Guifen finally felt relieved, and a smile appeared on her face:
"You two stay here and watch for now. I'll go get Jingyou something to eat."

Fu Jingyou said hurriedly:
"Aunt, give me less. I'm not that hungry."

Chen Guifen said angrily:

"I know what's going on, so leave it alone!"

Fu Jingyou shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, not long after, when Chen Guifen came back, she brought him a big bowl of egg noodles.

He wanted to go to the kitchen to get some dishes and chopsticks.

Chen Guifen stopped him from doing that, so he had no choice but to sit at the table and concentrate on eating.

He Hongjin looked at the photo over and over again and asked him:
"Is there something wrong with your return this time? Don't tell me it's because of your family. Everything is fine at home. You don't need to worry about it."

The old couple don’t like to cause trouble for their children, and always report good news but not bad news.

Fu Jingyou knew this very well, so he didn't point it out to him, and directly stated the main purpose of his return this time:
"The rules in the city are strict. The Red Education Class wants to see things like the household registration page. I'll come back to take care of this matter and visit you guys while I'm here."

He Hong walked in and said "Oh", then he touched his graying hair and sighed:
"It's time to go to school. Time flies so fast... When you first left home, you two kids couldn't even walk steadily."

Who said no?
Fu Jingyou smiled and asked about his subsequent physical condition.

He Hongjin patted his chest and showed it to him, saying that everything was fine. He also repeatedly reminded him not to buy any more medicine.

It is a sheer waste of money to say that it cannot be used even after the illness is cured.

Fu Jingyou agreed with a "hmm" on his face, thinking that it would be fine regardless.

"When you two were studying in the capital, your family didn't help you at all. Now it's the children's turn to go to school, and your family still can't help you at all..."

After talking about his health, He Hongjin turned the topic back to the children's schooling:
"This is mostly arranged by your father-in-law and mother-in-law. You are an adult now. You can keep this a secret, but you can't pretend it didn't happen..."

He Hongjin patted Fu Jingyou and carefully explained the ways of the world:

"You must remember the kindness and help your father-in-law and mother-in-law have shown you. Treat that spoiled girl well, educate the children well in the future, and be filial to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Fu Jingyou said, "You and Auntie should worry less. You keep saying the same thing every time you come back. I'm almost getting calluses from hearing it. How can I not know?"

He Hongjin knew that he was sensible and appropriate, so he nodded and said, "As long as you know your limits."

Chen Guifen heard the clues, stood by the table and thought for a while, then asked:

"You haven't registered the three children yet, right? Are you going to register them all at once when you come back?"

Fu Jingyou nodded.

Chen Guifen clenched her hands together, pondered for a moment, and then asked as if she had thought it over carefully:

"Didn't your father-in-law say anything about the household registration?"

"It's nothing else, it's just that my child needs it urgently for school, so I asked him to get it done quickly."

Fu Jingyou told the truth and asked in confusion:
"What's the matter, aunt?"

Could it be that there is something else going on here?
He Hongjin was impatient, frowning and asking:
"You old woman, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You are just half-speaking and hiding the truth. It makes me so anxious!"

"During the time when you were away studying, your uncle was always complaining about how Miao girl had brought more trouble to the Fu family." (End of this chapter)
