Chapter 304 I can’t keep this son anymore!
Huo Haocheng got home around 11:11. The car that picked them up arrived at the army unit at o'clock. Because there were all kinds of smells on the train, and he could even smell the sour odor on his body, he was afraid that his wife would be stung when he returned, so he went to the bathhouse with Ruan Shaoke and the others to wash themselves before returning.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his wife sitting by the gate. Huo Haocheng shouted to her happily, "Wife, I'm back..." He took two steps at a time and came to Ruanruan. Just as he was about to bend down to kiss his wife, he saw out of the corner of his eye the old man sitting opposite his wife, the grandmother and an old lady sitting on the sofa, looking at him hand in hand.
Seeing this, Huo Haocheng immediately stood up and touched the soft arm with his hand.
It was the first time for the old lady to see her eldest grandson make a fool of himself, and the smile in her eyes was undisguised.
After Huo Haocheng touched her twice, Ruanruan took his arm, stood up, and stood side by side with him. "Uncle, aunt, this is my wife, Comrade Huo Haocheng, this is my eldest uncle Comrade Lan Zhiyu, and this is my uncle's wife Comrade Shen Peijing." After introducing them, Ruanruan called out to the kitchen, "Brother Chaoyang, Chaoxi, come out for a moment."
Hearing Ruanruan calling them, the two put down the work in their hands and said, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you hungry? The meal will be ready soon." When she called them at this time, Chaoxi thought she was hungry. Well, it was almost time for dinner, and Ruanruan already had two babies in her stomach, so it was normal for her to get hungry quickly.
"No, Chaoxi, your brother-in-law is back. Let me introduce him to you. This is my lover, Comrade Huo Haocheng, this is my eldest cousin, Comrade Lan Chaoyang, and this is my youngest cousin, Comrade Lan Chaoxi."
"Hello, brother-in-law, I'm Chaoxi." Lan Chaoxi looked at Huo Haocheng with a serious face, and couldn't help feeling a little scared. When she spoke, she was obviously much smaller than when she came out just now.
"Hello, brother-in-law, I'm Chaoyang. I've always heard Chaolin mention you. We're sorry to bother you with our visit." Unlike Huo Haocheng's fierce temperament, Lan Chaoyang has a scholarly air. When the two of them stand together, it is obvious that they are at two extremes.
"Uncle, aunt, Chaoyang, Chaoxi, hello, welcome to our home."
Now that they all knew each other and they all had the surname Lan, they should be Lan Chaolin's family. He had heard a little about the Lan family before, but he didn't know why they came here at this time.
"Oh, by the way, there's another kid at home. Look at the time, school should be over. There's a surprise!"
I wonder how Huo Haocheng would feel when he sees the child he personally rescued living in his own home. Ruanruan is quite looking forward to it.
When the others heard that Xiao Mingxuan was out of school, Lan Chaoyang missed his son very much. They had been separated for more than half a year. He asked Zhaoxi to help and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I'll go pick up Mingxuan."
"Go, go," the old man waved at him, and Lan Chaoyang walked out.
"Haocheng, come here and chat with the old man." Looking at Lan Zhiyu, who was standing in front of him and was a head taller than him, he felt emotional.
"Sister-in-law, I never expected that Brother Huo took you away quietly back then, and now his eldest grandson has taken the same path he once walked. It's really unpredictable!"
"Who says it's not true? However, Huo Haocheng has always chosen his own path, and our family respects his choice."
He originally put down his backpack and prepared to listen to his uncle and talk to him, but seeing that his grandmother and uncle were chatting happily, he didn't know whether he should interrupt and could only look at his wife with grievance.
Ruanruan saw what he meant and motioned for him to put down the bag. She thought, the old man asked Huo Haocheng to chat with him just now, but it was just a casual remark, because she didn't know what they could talk about?
Huo Haocheng obediently put the bag back into their room, then came out and sat next to his wife obediently. There were a room full of old men and women, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them. He could only follow his wife weakly and ask for protection.
On Lan Chaoyang's side, before he walked out of the gate of the compound, he saw a group of children running in hurriedly. Among them, the one who was running a little slower and was led by an older child was his son. Seeing this scene, he also understood why his grandfather and others wanted to keep Mingxuan. Before this, he would never dare to believe that the person running so freely would be his son. A few days ago, his father went back and told him that Mingxuan is now very cheerful and is well taken care of here. He is acting like a child should.
"Dad, Dad, brother, my dad is here to pick me up. Look, that's my dad." As soon as little Mingxuan came in, he saw Lan Chaoyang standing not far away. He struggled to break free from his hand and shouted to the person in front of him. Perhaps because he knew that there was no danger in the compound, the child who was holding Mingxuan's hand let go of his hand when he called "Dad".
Hearing Mingxuan calling him from a distance and running towards him, Lan Chaoyang stood where he was, squatted down, opened his arms, and waited for little Mingxuan to run into his arms.
When Xiao Mingxuan rushed into his arms like a cannonball, he almost couldn't squat steadily, and they both fell down.
"Dad, Dad, you really came to pick me up from school. Where is my aunt? Why are you here alone?" Xiao Mingxuan happily lay in Lan Chaoyang's arms, asking questions excitedly.
"Aunt is cooking for little Mingxuan at her house. Is our Mingxuan hungry?" Lan Chaoyang picked up Mingxuan and answered as they walked.
"I'm not hungry yet. My aunt put a small cake in my schoolbag when I went to school and told me to eat it when I was hungry. So, I ate it before the last class. Now I'm not hungry at all."
Lan Chaoyang didn't expect Ruanruan to think so much. When he was at home, the family also prepared cakes, but they were prepared for grandma. Sometimes the old lady would give them to Xiao Mingxuan, but it was not like this, because she was afraid that the child would be hungry at school and prepared them specially for him. Now it seems that he is a very incompetent father!
"Oh, is Mingxuan happy at school?" Actually, you don't need to ask, you can tell by looking at his expression just now.
"I'm happy. The teachers at school teach us a lot of knowledge that I haven't heard before. There are also interest classes, such as basketball, table tennis, and football. I like them all. After school in the afternoon, I always go to learn to play ball with my brother Ruan En and others. My aunt said that children can grow taller if they exercise more. I want to grow tall, as tall as the soldiers in the People's Liberation Army..."
Along the way, Lan Chaoyang mostly listened to his son talking about school matters, but more often, every time he talked about something, he would bring up his Aunt Ruanruan. Lan Chaoyang could tell that in this kid's mind, his Aunt Ruanruan's words were like the imperial edicts of ancient times, and everything she said was right.
When Lan Chaoyang was holding him and just saw the yard of his home, Xiao Mingxuan started clamoring to get down. As soon as he slipped from his father's arms, he immediately ran home, calling out "Aunt, aunt, third grandma, great grandma, Xiao Mingxuan is back, I'm back". In the blink of an eye, he was home. Now it seems that he was just dissatisfied with Lan Chaoyang for walking too slowly and delaying him from going home to see his aunt.
"Alas, this son, after all, was raised in vain!"
Ruanruan, who was sitting inside the door and was blocked by Huo Haocheng, heard Xiao Mingxuan's voice and immediately pushed Huo Haocheng beside her excitedly, "Your little surprise is back, go and pick it up."
Huo Haocheng, who was pushed, looked at her blankly, then looked at his wife's belly and confirmed that the child was not born yet. So what was the little surprise his wife mentioned?
However, when he saw the child running towards him, Huo Haocheng felt that he looked very familiar!
“Wife, this…?” Huo Haocheng pointed uncertainly at the child who suddenly stopped in front of him.
"Uncle PLA, is that you?" When Xiao Mingxuan ran in just now, he only saw a man in military uniform sitting next to his aunt. He walked up and asked.
Before, he learned from Uncle Chao Lin that the person who saved him was Aunt Ruanruan's lover, and in fact, he was still conscious when they were rescued, but he was too tired at that time, so he couldn't open his eyes or speak. However, he heard what his big brother who was holding him and the PLA uncle said. But later, after he was sent to Aunt Ruanruan, he didn't see the PLA uncle. After he could speak, no one asked him, so he didn't say anything. Now when he saw Huo Haocheng, he spoke subconsciously.
"Good boy, are you okay now?" Huo Haocheng had never thought that he would see the boy he brought home again one day. When he thought of that time, when he carried the boy to the hospital, he felt light all over. Looking at his current appearance, his blood color was good, so he should have recovered.
Thinking about this, Huo Haocheng picked the man up and shook him. "Not bad, you've eaten well, and you've grown a lot. It seems you've grown a little taller."
"Really? Really? Have you really grown taller? Auntie said that exercising more can help you grow taller. I want to grow as tall as you, uncle from the People's Liberation Army." Xiao Mingxuan was so happy when Huo Haocheng picked him up. Hehe, the uncle from the People's Liberation Army hugged him again and said that he had grown taller. He was even happier, happier than when he saw his dad.
When Lan Chaoyang came in, he saw this scene and sighed again, "I really can't have this son anymore!"
