The Drooling Baby

"Oh my, my little darling, how can you be so adorable!" Grandma Lu looked at her great-granddaughter, completely enchanted. What's more, the little one wasn't shy at all—even though it was their first meeting, she was just full of curiosity and didn’t cry, which made her even more lovable.

Unable to hold her older granddaughter, Zhang Xiaofeng turned her attention to Lin Nannan and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen?"

Normally, if they were planning to return, they would have called well in advance.

Unable to put her mind at ease, she simply asked outright.

"There is something, but it’s not related to the family. My second brother found my master’s relatives, and they’re coming to pay their respects. So I brought Du Du back. Lu Hang had some work to take care of and went back to the military first," Lin Nannan explained.

"He went back to base?" That sounded a bit off.

Lin Nannan remembered they had stayed in Beijing and gave a brief explanation, which also clarified to the Lu family why Zhou Cuiwei had come along.

Zhou Cuiwei had been listening nearby and added, "Nan Nan was bringing Du Du back, and I was worried, so I came along."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have gotten closer, Zhang Xiaofeng, curious, thanked Zhou Cuiwei, "It’s good you came along. Otherwise, with Du Du so lively, Nan Nan would have struggled taking care of her alone."

"I didn’t do much. A Hang arranged for others to help too. I just didn't want to be apart from Du Du, so I came along," Zhou Cuiwei explained.

"Ah, ah..." Just then, Lu Dudu, smelling the food, stared at the dishes on the table and babbled, drooling everywhere. This reminded the Lu family what they should be doing at that moment.

"Look at me forgetting—you must be hungry. I’ll go make you something to eat," Zhang Xiaofeng said, immediately stopping the conversation.

Pan Xiaoping chimed in, "Sis (addressing sister-in-law), let me give you a hand!"

Seeing her daughter’s eagerness and noticing the porridge on the table was still warm, Lin Nannan said to Grandma Lu, "Grandma, could you help feed Du Du? I’ll go get the things from the car!"

Feeding children was like riding a bike to Grandma Lu.

Even though her grandchildren were all grown up, she still remembered how.

"Sure, go ahead. I’ll take care of Du Du," Grandma Lu said with a smile.

Zhou Cuiwei stayed seated; she helped Grandma Lu feed Du Du...

Seeing the child wasn’t fussing, Lin Nannan went to get the luggage. Lu Fang and Lu Zheng saw and went to help her...

A Da and A Jian had already started moving the items, so they took over when the others arrived.

"I’ll return the car and go back up to the mountain afterward. If you need anything, come find us there," A Da said to Lin Nannan.

"Stay and have a meal here!" Lin Nannan offered.

A Da declined. After the two of them unloaded the things from the car, they drove off.

Lin Nannan quickly took the things inside and went to let her know, so her mother-in-law wouldn’t cook too much.

Knowing A Da and the others weren’t staying, Zhang Xiaofeng made less food but kept the variety of dishes...

"You should’ve told us earlier. Luckily, we still had some things at home, or we wouldn’t have had enough dishes to host your mother properly. If word got out, who knows what people would say." Zhang Xiaofeng was happy to see her daughter-in-law and granddaughter back, but she still had something to say about the oversight.

"Next time, I definitely won’t forget!" Lin Nannan immediately said in a playful tone.

Zhang Xiaofeng wasn’t really angry; she was just concerned that her daughter-in-law and the guest had arrived without a proper welcome.

The family had fish and meat they'd bought that day. Since there wasn’t time to stew it, she made braised fish and stir-fried pork with flavorful side dishes. Soon, the aroma filled the yard, making Lu Dudu, who was drinking porridge, drool like crazy...
