Chapter 498: Chapter 497: Communication

When Yiyi came over, she saw Gu Tingyu having breakfast and couldn’t help but be taken aback. Then she beamed, "Tingyu, you’re here so early."

Seeing the little girl’s happy demeanor, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but smile too, and quickly waved her over to sit beside him.

Yiyi walked over with a smile and started eating together.

Ding Yuejun saw her daughter getting up so late and couldn’t help but say, "As soon as you’re on holiday, you sleep in. Look, Tingyu’s already here, and you’re just getting up."

Before Yiyi could say anything, Gu Tingyu spoke up, "Mom, I came early. Besides, the weather’s cold, so staying in bed is indeed warmer."

Hearing Gu Tingyu’s words, Yiyi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, in winter, you just want to stay in bed."

Seeing that Gu Tingyu didn’t mind, Ding Yuejun was naturally happy, glad that the young couple was harmonious.

Old Master Ding also couldn’t help but smile.

After the family finished breakfast, Old Master Ding took Ding Yuejun, Yiyi, and her young husband to visit other Ding Family relatives to celebrate the New Year. Lunch and dinner were, of course, eaten at relatives’ houses.

When they returned in the evening, Gu Tingyu bade farewell to Yiyi, "I’ll come see you again when I have time off next."

Yiyi felt a bit reluctant and couldn’t help but throw herself into his arms, "Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back." Then she mentioned their plan to return to Houshan Town on the ninth, "Mom and I plan to visit my sister. We’ll be back in a few days."

"Okay, but you two be careful on the road."

"Mmm hmm."

Yiyi nodded eagerly.

The two of them leaned on each other and talked for a long time before Gu Tingyu reluctantly left.

After Gu Tingyu left, Yiyi felt that time passed slowly. When the ninth came, she and her mother set off for Houshan Town and arrived in the evening. Fortunately, the house there was regularly cleaned, so they could move right in.

"Yiyi, let’s eat something first and then go to bed early."

Luckily, they had prepared in advance and brought a lot of food, so the mother and daughter ate and then went to bed.

The next day, when Yiyi woke up, she found that her mother had already prepared breakfast, "Yiyi, come eat. It’s the New Year, and there aren’t many shops open, so we can only eat the noodles we brought from Shangjing."

"Mom, noodles are just great."

Yiyi quickly said with a smile.

After the mother and daughter finished breakfast, they headed straight to the Zeng Family. They had previously contacted Mo Xiaohong, so she knew they were coming today.

"Mom, Yiyi, you’re here!"

Mo Xiaohong was full of excitement when she saw Ding Yuejun and Yiyi. She hadn’t seen them in so long, so she quickly invited them in.

At this moment, Shanshan came running out, "Grandma, Aunt, you finally came to see me." Behind her was a toddler, who was Mo Xiaohong’s later-born son.

Seeing how much Shanshan had grown, Ding Yuejun sighed, "Our Shanshan has become a big girl."

Shanshan, hearing this, smiled and said, "Yes, I’m already in elementary school now, so I’m a big girl, aren’t I?"

Seeing her lively and lovable granddaughter, Ding Yuejun was simply happy, "Shanshan, why didn’t you come to Shangjing last time I asked? Next holiday, come and play at grandma’s place."

Shanshan laughed and said, "Grandma, I have to take care of my little brother, so I couldn’t go to Shangjing. But when he grows up, I can go out and play."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun was full of gratification.

"Our Shanshan is so good, knowing to take care of her brother."

"Of course, little brother is so young; he needs to be well taken care of."

Yiyi watched Shanshan’s precocious demeanor and found her extremely cute.

At this moment, the toddler wobbled forward, looking at Ding Yuejun with some puzzlement, then at Yiyi, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity.

Mo Xiaohong quickly picked up the little one and said, "This is your grandma, and this is your aunt. Say hello."

"Grand... Ma... Aunt..."

The toddler couldn’t speak very well yet, so he only managed simple greetings.

But even so, Ding Yuejun was delighted and stuffed a big red envelope into his hands.

Seeing the thickness of the red envelope, Mo Xiaohong quickly said, "

Mom, what are you doing?"

"This is from me to my little grandson, don’t you dare refuse it," and she stuffed it into the toddler’s embrace.

The toddler seemed to understand Ding Yuejun’s words, knowing it was for him, so he clutched the red envelope tightly with both hands.

Seeing the toddler’s actions, Ding Yuejun and Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh.

At this moment, Zeng Jiahe came in from outside. Seeing Ding Yuejun, he quickly greeted her as his mother-in-law, then exchanged greetings with Yiyi. He asked Mo Xiaohong to take good care of them while he went to the kitchen to help.

Seeing Zeng Jiahe like this, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but nod. It seemed that Zeng Jiahe was truly a good person, even after Xiaohong had children, he still treated her very well and took on many tasks.

And Mo Xiaohong’s face was filled with a sweet smile.

Seeing her sister like this, Yiyi felt reassured.

A person’s happiness is apparent on their face. Today, when they arrived, they noticed that Mo Xiaohong looked healthier and better, implying that her life was genuinely good.

Seeing that Father Zeng and Mrs. Zeng were not around, Ding Yuejun asked, "Where are your parents-in-law? Why aren’t they here?"

"There was something at Second Uncle’s house next door today, so they went to help out. They’ll probably be back in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun nodded, then talked about other things, "By the way, are you now just staying at home looking after the child?"

Mo Xiaohong nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t be at ease leaving him with just his grandparents."

"You shouldn’t say it like that; his grandparents surely love him too. Why worry?" Ding Yuejun worried that if Mo Xiaohong spoke too directly, it might upset Zeng Jiahe.

Mo Xiaohong quickly responded, "I know his grandparents adore him, but once they kept feeding him until he threw up. That’s why I’m a bit uneasy; otherwise, I would’ve gone out to work already."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun went silent for a moment, guessing the grandparents spoiled the child, feeding him as long as he wanted to eat, without controlling portions.

"You should communicate with them more often. Don’t speak too directly; otherwise, the elders might feel upset."

"Mom, don’t worry. I know. I’ve talked with my in-laws, and they agree with my perspective. Once the child is weaned, I’ll look for a job. With a little son now, I feel a bit of pressure, so I naturally want to work."
