Chapter 808: Chapter 808 Xiao Xiao and Her Brother, Part 3
Little wobbled on the coffee table, chin resting on her hand, "chirp, chirp" teasing the little bird, hence Baby boy directly named the little bird Chirp.
Baby boy and Little filled a small cup with water and bread crumbs. Chirp only drank a little water; probably because it felt much better after its wound had been treated, and now it was dozing off in the goldfish bowl.
The siblings lay by the edge of the coffee table for a long time, watching until the little bird fell asleep with its head tilted, and then they ran off to play.
Even so, the two little brats kept running back every once in a while to check on the little bird, their concern so intense that it amused Yun Bo, who had long lost his childlike innocence.
"Baby, shall we take Chirp back with us when we return to our country?"
Yan Bo had obviously made that suggestion in jest, as he reckoned the small creature wouldn’t even make it onto a plane.
Without thinking, Baby boy vigorously shook his head, "No good!"
Before Yan Bo could ask why, he hurriedly explained, "This is its home. If we take it away, it will struggle to adapt. Daddy, we can’t take it back with us."
The son’s anxious expression made Yan Bo feel terribly guilty.
He quickly appeased Baby boy, "Mmm, we won’t take it. If its injuries aren’t healed by the time we leave, we’ll have the uncles take care of it, okay?"
In the following days, because there was a new Chirp at home, the siblings were reluctant to go out. But the little bird was badly injured and couldn’t endure being jostled around in the car.
Yan Bo and his wife had been living here for a long time and regarded it as home, hence they had little interest in the surrounding attractions. The main reason for coming here this time was their reluctance to leave their grandchildren, not for any other special purpose.
Yan Bo didn’t have a special fondness for this city, so since his children preferred to stay at home with Chirp, the three adults were not keen on going out either. Yan Bo and his wife enjoyed their grandchildren’s company at home, occasionally taking them out for walks, while Yan Bo handled his official work through the internet.
Compared to the Yan Family’s villa in L City, which was like a landscaped garden, this one could only be considered a little house.
The two-story house had about eight to ten rooms, a garden of several hundred square meters, a swimming pool, a small grove, and several patches of flowerbeds.
Of course, such a setup would be a mansion to many people.
But the dynamic siblings had run around every nook of the house and garden after two days of staying here.
Fearing they’d get bored, Yan Bo and his wife took them out for a walk after breakfast that day, to visit the neighbours a few hundred meters away.
The neighbours were an elderly couple of Chinese immigrants, and they were quite surprised to see Yan Bo and his wife arrive with a boy and a girl, one older and one younger.
Two years ago, after receiving Uncle Hai’s phone call, Yan Bo and his wife had left in a hurry without saying goodbye to their neighbours, so they were unaware that Yan Bo and his wife had returned to their country to see their grandchildren.
Moreover, the neighbours had heard Yan Bo and his wife mention that their son, due to some special reasons, probably wouldn’t have children. If they ever did have children in the future, they assumed it would likely be through adoption.
"Mr. Yan, Madam Yan, these two children..."
Of course, they were cultured and well-mannered, and wouldn’t ask outright in front of the children whether they were adopted or not.
Only then did the couple remember the words they had previously said to outsiders.
"Madam Qiao, this is my own grandson Baby boy, and this is my own granddaughter Little."
Yan Bo quickly brought the two little brats to the front, taking the opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings.
Baby boy, always polite, bowed slightly and called out crisply, "Hello Grandpa Qiao, Grandma Qiao!"
Little girl also imitated her brother’s gesture by bending her tiny body, but she couldn’t say such a long sentence, looking up with her small face, she just said, "Qiao Qiao... good good!"
The two old men were immediately amused by her cute behavior, and Madam Qiao even bent down to look at the little girl and baby boy, clicking her tongue in admiration.
"Mr. Yan, Madam Yan, you two are really blessed. Look at these children, how lively and beautiful they are!"
Old Madam Yan, hearing others praise her grandchildren, felt as if her own face was plastered with gold, and was incredibly happy.
"Hmm, boy takes after his dad and the little one after her mom. Luckily my son and daughter-in-law are decent-looking."
The Qiao couple had not seen Zhu Qianying but had seen young Mr. Yan. Now, looking carefully, the boy did indeed closely resemble young Mr. Yan.
The Qiaos welcomed the four generations of grandfathers and grandsons into the house, where everyone sat together, drinking tea and eating snacks while catching up.
Baby boy and little girl were lively and active, but their behavior was very measured. The little girl, still unsteady on her feet, listened especially well to her brother, and whenever she wanted to do something excessive, he would coax her, and she’d easily change her mind.
"Madam Yan, I really envy you for having such sensible grandchildren. No wonder you couldn’t bear to leave them when you went back, we wouldn’t be able to bear it either."
While the two men talked about current affairs, Madam Qiao sat with Old Madam Yan, sipping tea and chatting away, but her gaze always stuck to the two little ones and rarely shifted.
"Not wanting to leave, that’s truly how we felt. In the past, I would always tell Old Ye that I had no fate with children, and even if we had grandchildren, we probably wouldn’t be close. I truly thought we would just spend the rest of our lives wandering here and there. But now, we can’t even bear to leave them for three or four days, let alone for a year and a half..."
The Qiao family had immigrated because they couldn’t bear to leave their grandchildren, even though their own grandchildren had grown up and left home. Old Madam Yan understood this feeling very well and empathized deeply.
Baby boy and little girl played at the Qiao’s house for a while before following Madam Qiao to the backyard, which did not have many flowers but various melons and vegetables.
When little girl saw the red and green tomatoes hanging on the tomato plants, she shouted excitedly, "Fruit... fruit!"
Seeing how much the children liked it, Madam Qiao took out a basket and scissors and handed them to baby boy.
"Baby boy, if you and your sister like it, just snip it off and take it home to cook for dinner."
Baby boy first glanced at Old Madam Yan, and after getting a nod of approval, happily took the basket and scissors, "Thank you, Grandma Qiao!"
The little girl seemed to understand what was coming next and , like her brother, repeatedly said "Thank you... thank you..."
While saying thank you, she eagerly pulled baby boy towards the tomato plant with the most and reddest tomatoes.
Baby boy carried the basket and held the scissors while little girl stood under the tree, her small hands grabbing the biggest and reddest one, "Red... red..."
Baby boy snipped off the tomato with a clip and handed it to little girl’s hands.
The tomato was as big as an adult’s fist, and little girl held one almost as big as her own cheek, her eyes crinkling into happy slits.
In Madam Qiao’s backyard, it was as if the two little ones had discovered a new world. On the way home, baby boy said to Mr. and Mrs. Yan, "Grandpa, Grandma, can we also plant some melons and fruits when we get home?"
