Chapter 273 Grandma and Auntie 3 are coming
After the morning training, Huo Haocheng woke her up as soon as he got home. After dinner, Ruanruan packed herself up and watched Huo Haocheng put some toilet paper, White Rabbit milk candies, and the water bottle she usually used when going out into the bag she usually carried. After he made sure that nothing was forgotten, the two of them went out.
When they came out, the time was just right and Commander Gu's car was already waiting outside.
In fact, the weather was very good today, the sun was not too strong, and there was a light breeze. Ruanruan thought that they could walk there, which would not take much time. Just when she wanted to say something to Huo Haocheng, she was carried into the car by him, and she sat in it as well.
"I know what you're going to say, but you're in a special period right now, and when we get there, you'll still be standing, and we don't know how long it will take to finish, so, to be safe, let's take a car over there, be good!"
Huo Haocheng's words blocked what she wanted to say. They were sure that they didn't know how long they would be busy. Forget it. In order not to make them worry, just take the bus.
Commander Gu, who was driving, had not expected that he had acted on impulse today and did not ask the guard to drive him, thinking that he would not go far. Now, an old man like him had to eat some dog food from the younger generation. If he had known earlier, he would have brought the guard along so that they could eat the dog food together. It would also be a good opportunity for his single man to experience the benefits of having a wife, so that the guy wouldn't keep saying that he was not in a hurry.
It only took a few minutes to drive from the staff quarters to the factory. When they arrived, the factory cadres had already begun arranging the next steps in an orderly manner.
Seeing them coming, Huo Haoshen immediately took a stool and asked them to sit for a while as the meeting would not start for a while. When leaving, he glanced at Huo Haocheng.
He didn't forget that Ruanruan was in poor health, but he was very busy now. After he was done with his work today, he would go and settle the score with his eldest brother. He was not in a hurry anyway. He had already called home. He thought that his grandfather should call him. However, seeing him here now, it must be that he hasn't answered the call from home yet. When he answers the call, he will be greeted by the anger of his family.
He didn't have the phone number of Grandpa Ruan. If he did, he would have to call them at least.
Seeing Huo Haoshen rolling his eyes at him and his unfriendly behavior towards him, Huo Haocheng just thought he was childish.
"Haocheng, did something happen between you two brothers? Why do I feel like Haoshen has some grievances with you today?"
They all saw what Huo Haoshen did to Huo Haocheng just now, but they haven't heard about any conflicts between the two brothers recently?
"Yeah, what happened to Brother Hao Shen?"
They haven't seen each other for a few days, and he never heard him say that Huo Haoshen had looked for him. What happened today?
Seeing the same confusion between Commander Gu and his wife, Huo Haocheng just rubbed his temples and then spoke to them.
"It's nothing, actually. Didn't Zheng Xuyang and Chen Liang come to our house yesterday to look for Ruanruan? Uncle, you know that Ruanruan has been sleepy lately, and she was still sleeping when they arrived, so they misunderstood that Ruanruan was not feeling well and needed to stay in bed. Zheng Xuyang told Huo Haoshen and the others about this after he went back home last night.
Who would have thought that Huo Haoshen, this idiot, couldn't even wait for a night, and called home right away, saying that Ruanruan was in a very serious condition. This morning, I received calls from my whole family, asking me what was going on. Grandma and Aunt Three also said that they would come over to take care of Ruanruan after Huo Yue's wedding was over in two days. "
Originally, he had not yet settled the score with Huo Haoshen for slandering him, but now he was provoking him first. Looking at his busy figure in the crowd, he could only temporarily suppress the idea of dealing with him. As he said, there would be plenty of time in the future and there was no need to rush.
The uncle and nephew were also speechless after hearing what he said. They didn't know before, but now that Ruanruan was in front of him, how could they not see it? He usually looked quite smart, so why did he fail at this time?
However, when Ruanruan heard Huo Haocheng say that grandma and mother were coming, she was still very happy. With them coming, they could go up the mountain together. The mushrooms in the mountain have grown now. If they don’t go to pick them, they will have to wait until next year.
"If your grandma and your third aunt come over, can the family handle it?"
Commander Gu was actually quite happy when he heard Huo Haocheng say that Old Lady Huo and his Third Aunt were coming. Apart from anything else, having someone to accompany him at home would allow Huo Haocheng to not worry about home when he was on a mission, and he would feel more at ease. However, it was the busy farming season, and farmers depended on the harvest to make a living. Now that there were two of them, he didn't know if they could handle the workload.
"Don't worry, uncle. We have a large family and my brothers are all capable. Haoshen and I send part of our salary back home every month, so we have enough food. My mother was supposed to come over, but my sister-in-law is pregnant, and Huo Haoshen is getting married soon. Grandpa and the others thought about it and asked my third aunt and grandmother to come over. First, they can take care of Ruanruan, and second, they can help with the wedding of Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen."
Huo Haocheng also knew what Commander Gu meant. After Grandma and Third Aunt came over, the family suddenly lost two laborers. Moreover, after Huo Yue got married, her food would be transferred to Fu Mingyi, which also meant that Huo Yue's salary and job as a scorekeeper would have to be handed over. When you calculate it this way, the Huo family suddenly lost three people, and when it comes to distributing food at the end of the year, they will get a lot less.
But on second thought, with Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng's current income, are they still worried that they can't support them?
"Okay, now that you say that, I feel more at ease."
It's better to have more people at home than just the two of them.
"Did grandma and the others say when they'll be coming? Then you can pick them up?"
Ruanruan was very happy when she thought that she would soon see her grandma. Even though she had been a little resentful of Huo Haoshen just now, she had now forgotten about him.
"Not yet. They will come after Huo Yue's wedding. Grandpa said he would call me when the tickets are booked, so don't worry."
He also hoped that his grandmother and the others would come over immediately so that he wouldn't have to worry about whether something might happen to her when she was alone at home during training.
"Okay then. When we get back, we'll clean up the room and take out the quilt to dry in the sun."
The three of them chatted for a while, and it was almost time, so Huo Haoshen came over and let them pass.
After they stood in their positions, there was a table in front of the gate of the family compound, on which were placed a chicken, a fish, a pig's head, and some fruits and other things, but no offering ceremony was performed. On the gate was a couplet that read "Auspicious day for settling down, everything will go well, a good time for settling down, a hundred years of happiness".
