When I got home, there were indeed a lot of people at home. Grandparents, aunts, and sisters-in-law were all here. When they saw Tang Xin coming back, they immediately gathered around her and asked her. When Tang Tianci saw her aunt, she immediately reached out to hug her.

"Tianci, wait a moment. My aunt will wash her hands first before hugging you." Tang Xin said, taking off her coat first, then went to the side to wash her hands, and then came back to take Tang Tianci from the receptionist's arms, and held her in her arms. He entered the house together.

As soon as they sat down, everyone started asking about Tang Xin's situation at school, whether she was eating well, how was she sleeping, how was she getting along with her classmates, and was she ever bullied? Etc., etc.

Dad asked all these questions in the car, but Tang Xin still answered them patiently. Then Tang Xin told her family about the interesting things that happened at school, and also told them about the three classmates in her dormitory.

Seeing that Tang Xin has adapted to college life very well, her family members are also relieved. Sister Zheng then got up and went to the kitchen with Mother Tang to continue cooking. The eldest aunt and the hall sister also followed suit.

"Why haven't my eldest brother and my brother come back yet?" The room became quiet for a while, and Tang Xin asked Tianci gently.

"Your eldest brother and the others are on a mission. They just left yesterday. I don't know if there are any other missions for those who go to school." Mrs. Tang put a piece of apple in Tianci's hand, and Tianci grabbed it and gave it to herself.

"They were going to participate in the exercise to observe. From now on, they are all going to be commanders. How can they just rely on the knowledge in books." Mr. Tang said leisurely while lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

"Oh, yes, that's what your grandpa said." Mrs. Tang nuzzled at Tang Xin. What your grandpa said was correct, and Tang Xin smiled knowingly.

"Your brother hasn't come back yet. It's almost time." My aunt looked at the wall clock and continued.

"Oh, yes, my brother doesn't have the same treatment as me. He is picked up and dropped off in the car." Tang Xin smiled and picked up the handkerchief to wipe the saliva on Tianci's chin. "Tianci, eat slowly. I'll see how drool is all over your face."

While he was talking, his brother Zhan Bo came back. As soon as he got home, he was like the rest of the family. He pulled Tang Xin and asked, and Tang Xin also answered patiently.

When my brother came back, dinner was served at home. Sister Zheng and Mama Tang specially cooked some of Tang Xin's favorite dishes.

"The food at home is still delicious. You can eat whatever is available at school." Tang Xin picked up a chopstick of fish and put it in his mouth. Sweet and sour fish was the best.

"If it tastes good, just eat more. The food at school is not as delicious as at home." My aunt looked distressed when she saw Tang Xin, always thinking that she had been wronged at school.

"Auntie, the food at school is actually pretty good. There are both meat and vegetables. Except that the taste may not be as good as at home, everything else is OK." Brother Zhanbo raised his head and explained to his aunt.

"Then I think every time your kid comes back, it's as if he was treated harshly at school." Tang's father didn't give his son face. Every time his son came back, he just kept silent.

"It's not just that the food at home is delicious. Besides, the food at school is only the same, and you'll get tired of it after a few days." Zhan Bo said, but he kept picking up vegetables and eating.

"I think you are crazy, and you are tired of eating. Nowadays, there are several restaurants that can open your stomach to eat, and there are so many dishes every day. You are just not satisfied." Mr. Tang said as he took a sip of wine.

"Grandpa, you have wronged me. I eat whatever I have. I'm not picky about food. As long as I can eat enough, you don't know that when we first entered school, we all ate double-steamed rice. We couldn't eat enough. No, I can't starve to death every time I go home. I just didn't tell you because I was worried about you." Zhan Bo looked up at his grandfather, he was a good young man of socialism.

"You kid, why didn't you tell me then? If you had told me, my family would have thought of a way to bring you some food so that you wouldn't be hungry during those days at school." Tang Ma heard what Zhan Bo said. , immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at his son, his eyes full of heartache.

"Hey, I didn't eat it for two months, and then I got better. At that time, everyone was eating, so I couldn't be special, right? I was much better than they were in other places. At least I could go home every week to improve my food and have a full meal. It's for food." Brother Zhan Bo didn't pay much attention, waved his hand and continued eating.

"Our school didn't have double-steamed rice when you went to school. I thought your school didn't have it either. Why are the policies of this school different?" Tang's father also put down his chopsticks and looked at his son and said.

"Your school is a key point in the country, so of course you get special treatment." Zhan Bo shrugged. There is no comparison between schools.

The table was quiet for a while, and Mrs. Tang and her aunt kept putting vegetables into Zhan Bo's bowl. This child didn't even tell his family about his hardships. Although it has passed, it still makes people feel distressed.

"Double-steamed rice? Brother, what is double-steamed rice?" Tang Xin asked after her parents and brother finally finished talking.

"I actually don't know how to make double-steamed rice. It just doesn't make you feel full, and it's soft and chewy." Hearing Tang Xin ask this, Zhan Bo scratched his head. He really didn't know how to make double-steamed rice. .

"Double-steamed rice means that after the rice is steamed, you open the lid and sprinkle it with water and steam it again, allowing the steam to completely soften the rice. Double-steamed rice has a lot of water. It looks like a big bowl, but in fact there are only a few grains of rice. It is very filling. I get hungry very quickly. We didn't eat less when we were in school." The hall sister-in-law said while feeding Tiansheng egg custard to the side.

"Yes, I remember that many schools were doing this at that time. There were a lot of double-steamed pumpkin rice and double-steamed sweet potato rice." Tang's mother also recalled those years and looked at Tang Xin again. At a glance, it was because of this child that they were able to live so easily in those years.

Tang Xin nodded in an educated manner. She had never heard of this before. She was also lucky. She was born into such a family and had no worries about food and clothing. She was no happier than most people.

On this topic, another round of reminiscing about hardships and sweetness began at the Tang family's dinner table, and Mr. Tang talked about the difficult years when they climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands.

The family listened patiently, occasionally interspersed with two babbling sounds from the God-given child, and the time was peaceful.

After finishing the meal, as soon as the dishes and chopsticks were taken away, the second uncle and the second aunt came, followed by the fourth cousin.

"Second brother and second sister-in-law, why are you here at this hour? Have you had dinner? I'll make you some noodles?" Tang Ma quickly stood up and welcomed them in.

"Brothers and sisters, there's no need to work too hard. We came here after dinner." Second Aunt quickly grabbed Tang's mother.

"It's my younger siblings. We came here after dinner. I happened to have nothing to do after dinner, so I came over to see Tang Xin. And Zhan Zhu's work has been finalized. Let's tell our dad." The second uncle also agreed.

"Has the fourth son's work been completed? Where are the arrangements?" Mr. Tang asked.

"It's done. We have a professional counterpart with him. We are in the same system as his mother. They are both affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The second uncle took the tea poured by Tang's father and put it aside and said.

"Well, that's right, the son inherits the mother's business. Xiaosi, you have to work hard in the future, you know, don't embarrass your mother." Mr. Tang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water, and said to his fourth cousin.

The fourth cousin immediately sat up straight and said solemnly to Mr. Tang: "Grandpa, I understand."

Then Mr. Tang explained a few more words, and the fourth cousin also agreed seriously. After chatting for a while, little Tianci felt a little sleepy and started to feel a little nauseous.

When the eldest aunt saw that the child was sleepy, she didn't stay any longer. Seeing that it was still early, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang didn't stay here either, so they went back with the eldest aunt and the others.

The second uncle's family also left together, and the house became quiet for a while, leaving only Tang Xin's family.
