Baimei County is where Mei Fangxiayuan and Lin Youxi were born and raised together.
A simple, ordinary, and even somewhat poor small county town.
And for the first 16 years of their lives, they spent every day together in this small county town.
It is a small hometown that has left many beautiful memories.
When the Mei Fang family was about to arrive at Baimei County, the sky gradually became filled with haze;
By the time the car slowly stopped in front of Mei Fang's private residence and Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi got out of the car holding the child, light snow had already begun to fall from the sky.
At this time, Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi were sleeping soundly on their mothers' bodies because of the several hours' drive, which made Mei Lijun and Mei Ya, who had been sticking their heads out early, feel a little disappointed.
However, after seeing the babies' cute sleeping faces, Meilijun could hardly hide his excitement.
"Wow... Little Yuanbao, Little Xixi... My babies have grown so big! Come here, Yuanyuan, Youxi, you must be tired from traveling all the way, come and give the kids to grandpa for a hug—"
"Dad, how can you hug so many by yourself? Hurry up and give one to our Aunt Xiaoya to hug!"
Mei Lijun took the little Yuanbao, who was smacking her lips non-stop, from Xia Yuan's arms. Mei Lijun, who had raised a daughter, was naturally very familiar with how to hold a baby. The little Yuanbao lay quietly on his grandfather's shoulder, not seeming to be disturbed at all.
Mei Ya carefully took the little Xixi from Lin Youxi's arms, and she was so nervous that she was almost sweating.
The 16-year-old Mei Ya is not good at holding a baby yet. Under Lin Youxi's guidance, she slowly supported little Xixi's butt.
Xiao Xixi also sensed that someone else was holding her and suddenly opened her eyes and stared at her aunt. This frightened Mei Ya, who was afraid that Xiao Xixi would not like this strange aunt and start to make a fuss.
Fortunately, Xiao Xixi only opened her eyes briefly, then slowly opened and closed them, opened and closed them, and finally slowly closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
"She didn't reject me?"
Meiya was quite surprised at her own affinity, "It seems that I am quite popular among children!"
"After all, you smell similar to her father..."
Lin Youxi moved the velvet hat on Xiaoxixi's head, and then said softly, "This child is the most attached to her father..."
"I'm not happy at all when I'm told that I have the same smell and aura as my brother, wuwu—"
"You girl..."
Mei Fang stuck his head out and knocked Mei Ya on the head, then said to everyone:
"You go inside first, I'll drive the car in."
"Let me go with you. We still have to carry our luggage... cough, cough, cough."
Lin Youxi, who was used to the warm climate in the south, was obviously not used to the winter in Baimei County. Seeing this, Xia Yuan quickly took her hand and said:
"I'll just go with Ah Fang. You go inside first, Youxi. It's okay!"
Xia Yuan sat in the passenger seat of the car, then closed the door and said hello to Lin Youxi and the others.
The two slowly drove the car into the garage. Looking at the light snow gradually falling outside the window, Xia Yuan suddenly sighed with some melancholy.
"What's wrong? This is..."
"Ah Fang, I don't know why... I always feel like Youxi is forcing herself to come back with us."
Xia Yuan said softly, "And after giving birth to Xiao Xixi, Youxi has been much weaker than before, which means—"
Before Xia Yuan finished speaking, Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan's head gently.
"fool."
"We are a family, there is no need to force ourselves."
"If Youxi doesn't want to come back, I think she will tell us."
"As for your comment about her physical condition getting worse... I've noticed that, too."
"But I have consulted the doctor before, and Youxi's condition is not uncommon. As long as you pay more attention to recuperation, you will recover slowly."
"That's true..."
"Okay."
Mei Fang hugged Xia Yuan and kissed her gently.
"Is that so? I've really grown old, haven't I?"
"I'm not teasing you!"
Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuan's cheeks and said, "Our Yuan Yuan is the cutest in the world."
"Ah! You put Youxi, Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi behind me... Did you say the same thing in front of them or in private?"
"How could I be that kind of smooth-talking man!"
Mei Fang hugged Xia Yuan to replenish her super wife energy, "You four are all tied for the cutest in my eyes."
"Haha... So that's how it is... I knew you were going to say parallel..."
Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's cheek, "But, after all, we are a family, so I won't be jealous of them—"
Mei Fang and Xia Yuan wanted to say something else, but then they saw Youxi's father Lin Guochuan standing not far away. They didn't know whether they should approach him, so they quickly packed up and got out of the car.
"Dad Lin!"
Xia Yuan greeted Lin Guochuan enthusiastically. Lin Guochuan did not refuse to accept Xia Yuan's address as daughter. Instead, he nodded enthusiastically in response and then looked at Mei Fang on the side.
Compared with Xia Yuan, Mei Fang and Lin Guochuan's relationship seems more casual and close.
"Dad, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to go and see Xiao Xixi more?"
"I wonder if you guys need help here. You have a lot of luggage, right?"
"It's okay, Mr. Lin, Ah Fang and I can handle it..."
"Well, Ah Fang and I can do it. Yuanyuan, you can go up and rest as well."
Lin Guochuan opened the trunk and took out the baby equipment in the car one by one without asking Xia Yuan for help.
Mei Fang, Xia Yuan and Lin Guochuan carried their luggage from the garage into the house. The three families, who had become one family, were happily chatting in the living room.
At this time, Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Xixi had already woken up from the chatter of the crowd. Lin Youxi was holding Xiao Xixi in her arms and sitting in the middle of the living room. Xiao Xixi stood on Lin Youxi blankly. Liang Meijuan and Teacher Yu were teasing her and pinching her.
Little Yuanbao was jumping around in the living room, with his grandfather Mei Lijun and grandpa Xia Xun clapping at him on both sides.
"Come here, little Yuanbao! Come to Grandpa! Grandpa has delicious strawberry-flavored lollipops!"
"Grandpa Yuanbao, how can such a young child eat a lollipop? Come to grandpa, ahem... Grandpa will tell you the story of the little duck—"
Mei Lijun and Xia Xun were fighting for Xiao Yuanbao, both wanting him to jump into their arms, but Xiao Yuanbao didn't go over immediately. Instead, he stood there, covering his mouth and giggling. When he saw his father Mei Fang appear, he immediately jumped up happily.
"Dad—Daddy!"
As a father, Mei Fang easily gained sovereignty over little Yuanbao, which soon earned him the angry glares of his father and father-in-law. However, Mei Fang was not afraid at all and started playing with little Yuanbao while holding him.
"Little Yuanbao, little Yuanbao, did you see that? It's snowing outside!"
"Snow... Snow?"
"Yes, it's snowing."
Mei Fang carried Xiao Yuanbao to the yard, took off Xiao Yuanbao's gloves, and let Xiao Yuanbao feel the warmth of the falling snow.
Snowflakes fell on Xiao Yuanbao's hands. She shuddered when she felt the temperature and looked up at Mei Fang in surprise:
"Dad, Xuexue, Bingbing."
"Yes, it's icy cold."
Mei Fang raised her head and looked at the falling snow. "But, Xuexue, it's very beautiful."
"Floating wine."
Little Yuanbao giggled, reached out to touch the falling snow, let the snowflakes fall into his little palm, and then melt into water, feeling the temperature of Baimei County in winter.
Now that I have finished writing it, I am invincible.
