Chapter 123 Returning to my parents’ home on the second day of the Lunar New Year

Early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year, before the sun came out, the family of three packed more than half of the car's luggage, and the car was so full that Tang Mei and her daughter could barely lie down.

Uncle Tang was driving the carriage in the front with great energy, while Tang Mei and Aunt Tang were at the back of the carriage, wrapped tightly in quilts.

"Dad, are you cold?" Tang Mei looked at Uncle Tang San who was waving the bull whip with full concern.

"Oh, my little girl, I'm not cold at all. My heart is warm with you." Uncle Tang was very happy to be cared for by his daughter.

"Haha, I originally said I would come to the front to accompany you."

"No, no, just stay by your mother's side."

"Mom, we've been walking for so long, when will we get to grandma's house?" Tang Mei couldn't suppress her curiosity and looked up to ask. After all, they set out before dawn in the morning and had only eaten steamed buns at noon. It was almost afternoon now and they hadn't reached their destination yet.

"Don't worry, we'll be there around four or five in the afternoon." Aunt Tang San gently comforted her daughter.

"Ah~ It's so far," Tang Mei lay down again helplessly.

"It's in another county, Qushan County." Aunt Tang looked at her daughter with amusement.

Tang Mei thought to herself: No wonder she had never seen other relatives from her mother's family come to visit. It would be too difficult for them to come again.

"You sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get there." Aunt Tang San carefully helped Tang Mei straighten the quilt.

The ox cart was shaking and Tang Mei soon fell asleep.

"Meimei wake up, we're here"

While Tang Mei was dazed, she felt someone pushing her gently. She heard Aunt Tang's gentle voice in her ears, and she quickly opened her eyes.

"Oh, we're here." Tang Mei hurriedly got up. What appeared in front of her was a tiled house made of blue bricks. There were identical buildings on both sides. Even the road in front of the door was very wide and was paved with neatly laid blue bricks.

Aunt Tang San led Tang Mei to the door of the house, and Uncle Tang San went to tie up the ox cart.

The people inside the room heard the noise outside the door and opened it before Uncle Tang could knock.

"Oh my daughter, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much." Tang Mei secretly guessed that it must be the grandmother of the Liu family. Grandma Liu hugged Liu Lin without hesitation.

Suddenly, Granny Liu felt something poking her stomach. She lowered her head and took a closer look. She couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, is that okay? It turns out that I have become a grandmother now."

"Oh, you silly girl, you didn't even tell me such a big thing as your pregnancy. Look at you, you came such a long way here, aren't you afraid that the little one in your belly will be hungry?" Granny Liu patted Liu Lin gently with a mixture of anger and amusement, muttering to herself.

Aunt Tang San, who was usually calm and reserved, showed a rare childish expression of grievance on her face. She pouted, "Mom, why did you hit me? I just missed you so much that I couldn't wait to come here. I didn't come here because I missed you!"

"Hmph, can't I teach you a lesson? Come with me into the house quickly." While carefully supporting her daughter, fearing that she might get hurt, Granny Liu turned her head to see where her son-in-law was, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a petite and cute figure.

"Hey, who is this? Why can't I remember when our family had a little granddaughter?" Granny Liu muttered to herself with a confused look on her face, her eyes full of doubts.

"Oh my god, I'll tell you when we get in." Mrs. Tang San often covered Granny Liu's mouth, for fear of hearing shocking words from her own mother.

At this time, the other people at the door heard Liu Laolao and her daughter enter the house, and then they began to greet them.

"Big brother, second brother, big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." Uncle Tang was the first to greet several people. After everyone responded, he turned to look at Tang Mei next to him and said softly:

"Meimei, this is your uncle and aunt." Uncle Tang pointed at the tall and straight middle-aged man and the beautiful woman standing next to him.

Tang Mei was not shy either, and called out sweetly, "Uncle, Auntie."

Although the middle-aged couple had doubts in their hearts, the child brought by their sister responded with a smile.

Then, Uncle Tang pointed to the man who looked quite similar to his eldest uncle and the woman with outstanding temperament next to him, and introduced them, "This is my second uncle and second aunt."

"Hello, uncle and aunt," Tang Mei called the two people in front of her with a soft and cute voice.

My second uncle and second aunt had only two naughty boys. When they suddenly saw such a petite, sensible and well-behaved little girl, their hearts were almost melted by her. They responded with "Ah, ah~"

The eldest uncle and the second uncle worked together to help Uncle Tang move the items off the ox cart.

The eldest aunt smiled and nodded to Tang Mei, then went into the kitchen first. The second aunt couldn't contain her love for her, so she walked up and hugged Tang Mei tightly.

"Oh, what a good girl," said the second aunt happily. She exuded the faint scent of jasmine, and Tang Mei did not object to being held by him.

"Okay, let's all go in." The uncle entered the house first carrying a basket of mushrooms, and the others followed closely behind.

In the spacious and bright main room, there sat an old grandfather with white hair and a bright spirit. At this moment, he was concentrating on playing Go, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

When Uncle Tang saw the old man, he respectfully called out "Dad".

Grandpa Liu didn't raise his head and just said "hmm". "Hey, Yongli, you're here. Find a stool and sit down."

Seeing this, the eldest uncle was worried that Third Uncle Tang would be unhappy, so he quickly explained, "Yongli, Dad is obsessed with chess. It's easy to immerse yourself in it. Don't take it to heart. Sit for a while. I'll go see if the food in the kitchen is ready."

"Oh, I know Dad's temper. I won't mind it, big brother." Uncle Tang agreed happily and sat down with peace of mind.

"Okay, second brother, you stay with Yongli. I'll go to the kitchen to see if your sister-in-law has prepared the meal." After saying this, the uncle left the main room.

Tang Mei looked around curiously, taking in the surrounding environment.

At this time, Granny Liu came into the house sobbing and held Tang Mei's little hand tightly. "Oh, my dear granddaughter, you must come to visit grandma often in the future. Now that you have come to Linlin's house, we are a family now."

Grandpa Liu was originally concentrating on the chessboard, but when he heard his wife sobbing, he finally looked away from the chessboard and raised his head. "You old woman, why are you crying on New Year's Day?"

Granny Liu rolled her eyes at him, then walked up to Grandpa Liu and whispered in his ear in a low voice.

After listening to this, Master Liu turned his gaze to Tang Mei and said, "Little girl, why don't you come over here and kneel down in front of me?"

Tang Mei was stunned for a moment, her face full of confusion. She wondered in her heart why she had to kneel down just after arriving here.

Uncle Tang San, who was standing by, pushed Tang Mei over with a smile and whispered in her ear, "Meimei, just do as I say."

After hearing this, Tang Mei knelt down in front of Grandpa Liu very obediently. You know, she had never knelt down like anyone since she was a child, but at this moment, she knelt down on both knees without hesitation. With a "bang", her delicate knees were severely hit and hurt. She had used too much force.

"Well, this little girl is quite clever and well-behaved. From now on, I am your grandpa, and the ones behind me are also your grandma. Come on, this is my gift to you. You must keep it well and don't give it to your father." After saying this, Grandpa Liu took out a framed painting from a blue and white porcelain jar next to the chessboard with a smile on his face and handed it to Tang Mei. He changed his serious face and smiled.

After Tang Mei took it, she heard the exclamation of Liu's second uncle next to her.

"Second brother, why are you yelling about nothing?" Master Liu turned around and angrily scolded the second uncle of the Liu family.

Liu's second uncle knew his father's temper very well and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, thinking: It's better not to make his father angry and just let him be. There are so many treasures in the family anyway.

Tang Mei looked at the quarrel between her second uncle and grandfather, and became more and more curious. Finally, she couldn't help it and carefully opened the painting in her hand.

"Hiss~" Tang Mei couldn't help but gasp, her eyes fixed on the scroll in front of her, her heart full of shock and disbelief. This turned out to be the "Pine, Bamboo and Rock" by Shitao, a famous Qing Dynasty painter. If she were to say how she knew it, it was in her previous life. At that time, she accidentally saw a TV program for identifying treasures, which showed a painting collected by a poet collector. At that time, when she heard that the expert had evaluated its price to be around 800,000, Tang Mei was already amazed. She didn't expect to see it in person today, and it was still in her hands.

Tang Mei took the painting and walked carefully to Uncle Tang San. She lowered her voice and said softly, "Dad, this painting is too precious. I can't accept it. Please help me reject it."

Uncle Tang looked at his daughter's serious expression and nodded helplessly to show his understanding.

"Dad, this painting is too valuable. It's not good for a child to hold it. You should keep it."
