Chapter 242 Going Home
The early winter sun shines warmly on the streets and alleys of the old city. In the streets and alleys, there are either little kids playing around or old men gathering in groups of three or five to play chess.

As our industrial scale began to expand slowly, especially with the rise of the electronics industry and the start of large-scale infrastructure construction, each factory unit required a large number of workers, and it was rare to see idle young people outside on the streets during the day.

Of course there are some, but most of them are old-timers, and they are not as unscrupulous as they were when the country was just liberated.

Because nowadays young people with some prospects basically have a proper job. Even those who don’t have a proper job for the time being have gone to work as temporary workers at grain stations or train stations. The young people who are still wandering around the streets are basically potential unstable elements.

Therefore, the police now focus on keeping a close eye on these people, which has made them more restrained.

Yang Ning sat in the car, looking at the peaceful scene of human life outside, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This year, signs of drought have appeared in most parts of Northwest China, Northeast China and parts of North China.

However, the disaster was not very serious, and we had had bumper harvests of grain for several consecutive years.

With sufficient food reserves, no one took this minor disaster too seriously. After all, God's face was like a child who had not grown up, and he would get a little mad from time to time.

However, Yang Ning, who is familiar with history, knows that this year's situation is indeed a minor incident, but in the next few years, we will face the most severe test since liberation.

"Forget it. I've been given two days off by my boss, so I'll just take a good rest during these two days. I'll deal with other things after I get back to work."

Yang Ning smiled and shook his head, feeling that he was worrying too much.

The higher-ups naturally have their own decision.

We have overcome such difficulties in history, let alone now.

"Boss?!" When Yang Ning returned home, only his mother was washing diapers in the yard.

Seeing her eldest son standing at the door and looking at her with a smile, the mother shouted in surprise.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Although Yang Ning appeared calm on the surface, he was actually feeling mixed emotions.

The few business trips he had taken before were either accompanied by Hu Yinghong or the trips were short and there was nothing to worry about at home.

But this time was different. When Hu Yinghong was about to give birth, he had been alone outside for half a year. At this moment, he finally experienced again the feeling of returning home from working away from home in his previous life.

"Child, when did you come back? You didn't even tell me in advance!" The mother wiped her hands on her apron and said with a look of reproach on her face.

"Hehe~" Yang Ning carried the luggage and walked up to his mother. Only then did he realize that his mother's usually jet-black hair now had a few silver strands of light.

In a trance, Yang Ning suddenly realized that his mother was over 40 years old, which could be called an old woman in this era.

Maybe because of her age, the mother no longer had the fierceness of the past. She only asked him a question in a reproachful way, and then asked with concern: "Have you eaten?"

"No, I came back straight after getting off the train!" Yang Ning felt his nose a little sour. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and still said with a smile.

"Okay, find a place to rest for a while, and I'll go make you some food."

As the mother was about to move the half-washed basin to the corner, Yang Ning quickly put down his luggage and stepped forward and said,

"Mom, go cook, I'll do this!"

"Oh, your eyesight has improved a lot after going out." Seeing Yang Ning coming to help on his own initiative, the mother smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, come on!"

The mother watched Yang Ning move the basin to the corner, and said to him with a smile: "Dani is asleep in the room, so be quiet when you go over there."

Yang Liu knew that her son was anxious to see his granddaughter, so she gave him special instructions.

"Ah~"

Yang Ning quickly picked up his luggage and went to the main room. After putting down the luggage, he hurried to his mother's room.

When Yang Ning saw the little one sleeping on the kang with his fists clenched and a quilt covering him, he felt his heart melt.

"This is my daughter, this is my little cotton-padded jacket!"

At this moment, Yang Ning finally understood why there were so many slaves to his daughter. This was a completely different experience from that of having a son.

The son is competing with him for the wife, and the daughter is competing with him for his favor. Even though his daughter is still so small, at this moment, Yang Ning thinks she is half of the world.

Yang Ning sat carefully on the edge of the kang, looking at his sleeping daughter tenderly. He wanted to reach out and touch her little face, but was afraid of waking her up.

"Okay, get out now after you've seen it, or you'll wake her up and she'll be making a fuss!"

At this time, mother Yang Liu walked into the room, looked at her son with a silly smile on his face, and quietly drove him out.

Yang Ning was about to say that he had woken me up and comforted me, but after seeing his mother's stern look, he had to walk out of the room in embarrassment.

"Look at you!" After pushing Yang Ning out of the room, the mother rolled her eyes at him when she saw that Yang Ning looked reluctant to leave.

"Hehe~" After hearing what his mother said, Yang Ning just smiled, and then said proudly: "Mom, Dani is the only flower of our Yang family for three generations. What's wrong with me being a little happy?"

"Then you can go there with your daughter next time!" said the mother unhappily.

"That's okay too!"

Yang Liu originally just said it casually, but unexpectedly Yang Ning thought about it for a while and then said it seriously.

Seeing his dumbfounded mother, Yang Ning chuckled, then proudly carried his luggage back to his room.

Yang Liu stared blankly at Yang Ning as he walked out. How could she not know that she had been fooled? She then laughed and cursed in a low voice: "Look at how unworthy you are!"

Perhaps because there was not enough time, Yang Liu knew that her eldest son had a big appetite, so she made him a large bowl of simple egg noodles.

If you go out, you can eat dumplings. If you come home, you can eat noodles!

"Mom, is Yinghong still living here?" After moving her mother's unwashed diapers back to the yard, Yang Ning moved a stool and sat in the yard, eating the egg noodles her mother made. "Where else can she live if not here?" Yang Liu said while rubbing the diapers in the basin.

"Originally Yinghong was planning to move back, but I thought it would be inconvenient for her to live there alone after she had just given birth, so I didn't agree!"

"Oh." Yang Ning said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

After finishing his meal, Yang Ning was planning to go see his daughter again. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he heard a baby crying from his mother's room.

After hearing the crying, Yang Ning ran to his mother's room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his daughter with her eyes closed, crying loudly.

"Oh~Oh~" Yang Ning quickly picked up her daughter and reached out to touch her diaper. She found that she had not defecated or urinated, so she asked the mother who had just walked into the room in confusion,

"She didn't poop or pee, what happened to her?"

Yang Liu rolled her eyes at Yang Ning, reached out to take little Yang Ping, and said unhappily, "What else can I do? I'm just clingy!"

Sure enough, after being in her mother's arms, little Yang Ping seemed to smell the scent of her grandmother and stopped crying immediately. She looked at Yang Ning curiously with her big tearful eyes.

At this time, Yang Ning also saw clearly what his daughter looked like.

"My daughter is really pretty. She looks much prettier than those two brats at first glance." Yang Ning kept praising.

He didn't even think about the fact that when he had his first two sons, those two sons had just been born.

A newborn baby is definitely not as good-looking as a baby who has been growing for several months.

"Look at you!" After coaxing her granddaughter, the mother handed her to Yang Ning.

When she first came into Yang Ning's arms, little Yang Ping wanted to cry at first, but as Yang Ning kept coaxing her, she seemed to finally accept Yang Ning and lay obediently in Yang Ning's arms.

"They are worthy of being father and daughter. If it were someone else, she would have been making a fuss." The mother was relieved to see this.

Because after Yang Ping wakes up, she won't lie down quietly and will cry if anyone leaves her.

She couldn't be held by anyone else, because apart from her mother, Hu Yinghong and Old Man Hu, even her father couldn't hold her.

She's simply a annoying little goblin.

Now, with Yang Ning sharing the burden, it will be much easier to take care of her in the future.

At night, when the father came home from get off work and saw Yang Ning holding his granddaughter, he asked calmly, "Are you back?"

Yang Ning knew that although his father looked calm, he cared about him just as much as his mother did.

"Dad!" Yang Ning stood up and shouted after seeing his father.

"Okay, you're back! Are you used to being outside?" My father waved his hand and asked while washing his face at the door.

I haven't seen my father for half a year, and it's obvious that he hasn't changed as much as my mother. No wonder they say men are in their prime at 41, while women are like tofu dregs at 30.
"That's nothing to be uncomfortable with. The local comrades have been very caring to me."

"That's good!" After washing, the father looked at Yang Ning with envy. He didn't expect that his granddaughter would be so well-behaved in Yang Ning's arms.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a car was heard outside. Before Yang Ning could see clearly, two figures with schoolbags on their backs ran in.

"father!"

The two figures were none other than Yang Ning's two boys.

Even though these two boys are just over three years old, considering that they inherited some of Yang Ning's talent and were raised by Grandpa Hu in medicinal baths since childhood, they are no smaller than other five or six-year-old children.

When school started in September this year, Hu Yinghong sent the two boys to the kindergarten affiliated to the Aviation University.

From previous contacts with their families, I learned that although these two boys are the youngest in their class, they have become the kings of the class.

If it weren't for the fact that these two boys learned everything quickly and teachers at that time were more tolerant of smart children, I'm afraid Hu Yinghong would have been called to the school every few days.

Not only that, Mr. Hu also began to give them introductory education in traditional Chinese medicine and taught them martial arts.

Although the mother and Hu Yinghong felt sorry for the two young children, they saw that Grandpa Hu's mental state was getting worse day by day, so they just wanted to let the two children suffer.

After the two boys came back, little Yang Ping in Yang Ning's arms saw her two brothers and flapped her short legs, making some noises as if she was saying something to them.

But the two boys seemed not to have seen their sister. They ran over to greet their grandparents, then looked at Yang Ning eagerly.

Yang Ning knew what they meant at a glance. They were waiting for Yang Ning to bring them delicious food.

"Hey!" Yang Ning smiled helplessly and said, "Since you two have been working hard during this period, go to your grandmother's house. The delicious food I brought back is all there."

"Thank you, Dad." After hearing Yang Ning's words, the two boys cheered, then left the others and ran to their mother's room with their short legs.

"Yang Ning!"

When Yang Ning turned around, he was standing at the gate, staring at him blankly.

"Yinghong, I'm back!" Yang Ning walked over, took her hand, and said gently.

"Yeah!" Hu Ying looked at her husband with red eyes and nodded desperately.

At dinner time, Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong went to the next yard to invite Mr. Hu. Although Mr. Hu looked very energetic at this time, he already needed the help of crutches to walk.

"People's legs age first!" Grandpa Hu said with emotion when he saw his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

Hearing Mr. Hu's sigh, Yang Ning could clearly feel a trace of sadness flashing in Hu Yinghong's eyes.

As a famous Chinese medicine expert, the old man has admitted his old age. He must have felt that he doesn't have much time left.
