All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Lin Ruan, carrying the bag of peach cakes, rode her bicycle leisurely on the way back to the Little White House. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, coating her with a layer of warm golden color.

When she was almost at the family compound, she saw her mother Wang Juan standing at the gate of the yard looking around from afar.

"Xiaobao!" Wang Juan smiled as soon as she saw her. "Why are you back so late? Is everything okay at grandma's house?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Ruan jumped off the bicycle and held her mother's arm affectionately. "Grandma insisted that I bring back some peach cakes. I said no, but she forced them on me."

Wang Juan caressed her daughter's head lovingly. "Grandma loves you. Come in quickly. Your father and eldest brother are back and are waiting for you to have dinner."

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the enticing aroma of food. Several dishes were already laid out on the living room table: braised pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried bok choy, and a bowl of steaming seaweed egg drop soup.

Lin Jianguo was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He looked up when he heard the noise, and his glasses slipped down his nose. "Xiaobao, are you back? Go wash your hands quickly. We're waiting for you to eat."

The eldest brother, Lin Shen, brought out a pot of freshly steamed rice from the kitchen and said jokingly, "If you, the youngest comrade in the family, don't come back soon, the food will get cold."

Lin Ruan stuck out her tongue and hurried to wash her hands. When she returned to the table, the dishes were already set. Wang Juan filled her bowl with rice and a few pieces of pork ribs.

"Mom, it's too much. I can't finish it." Lin Ruan protested.

"Eat more. You're growing." Wang Juan picked up another egg with her chopsticks without saying anything. "Are you tired at grandma's house today?"

Lin Jianguo put down the newspaper and walked to the dining table: "Eat first, and then we can talk."

The family of four sat around the dinner table, enjoying themselves. Wang Juan offered her husband a piece of pork ribs and asked, "Jianguo, is the factory busy today?"

"It's okay, just a little extra reports at the end of the month." Lin Jianguo said, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Lao Liu told me today that his daughter is getting married next month, and he invited our whole family to the wedding."

"Oh, Xiaohong is getting married?" Wang Juan exclaimed in surprise. "Time flies! I still remember when she was little, she always played with Xiaobao."

Lin Ruan was concentrating on gnawing on some spareribs. When she heard this, she looked up and said, "Sister Xiaohong is getting married? Then I have to prepare a gift for her."

"You're just a kid, why prepare any gifts?" Lin Jianguo said with a smile, "Just go along and eat the wedding candy when the time comes."

"How can that be!" Lin Ruan pouted, "I'm seventeen, not a child anymore."

Lin Shen teased her: "Yeah, our Xiaobao is already a grown-up girl, isn't it time for her to find a partner?"

"Brother!" Lin Ruan was so angry that she hit him with chopsticks. Lin Jianguo and Wang Juan exchanged helpless looks and smiled knowingly.

Halfway through the meal, the phone rang.

Wang Juan went to answer the phone and came back with a smile on her face: "It was the second brother calling. He said everything is fine in the army and told us not to worry."

Lin Ruan immediately asked, "Did Second Brother say when he would be back?"

"They say there might be family leave at the end of the year." Wang Juan sat down and poured a bowl of soup for her daughter. "Drink the soup quickly! It's getting cold."

Lin Jianguo sighed, "Time flies. In the blink of an eye, the second child has become a platoon leader. I still remember how naughty he was when he was a child, always taking Ruanruan with him to play everywhere."

"That's right," Wang Juan said with a smile. "One time, two little rascals went to play in the waste area of ​​the steel mill and got covered in dust. When they came back, I was really mad."

Lin Ruan muttered: "That was a long time ago..."

The warm dinner continued, with laughter rising and falling at the table, and everyone was having a great time.

After dinner, Lin Ruan took the initiative to help clean up the dishes. Wang Juan looked at her daughter in surprise: "Why are you so diligent today?"

Lin Ruan said with a smile, "I've always been very diligent, okay? Mom, you go and take a rest, my brother and I will clean up."

Lin Shen protested: "Why are you dragging me into this?"

"Because you are the eldest brother!" Lin Ruan said righteously and made a face at him.

Lin Jianguo watched his children bickering, a gratified smile on his face. He said to Lin Ruan, "Just let your eldest brother clean up. Xiaobao, come here, let's go for a walk outside to help digest our food."

In the kitchen, Lin Shen was washing dishes while smiling, "I'll have almost finished cleaning by the time you guys get back, so I can help Xiaobao with his homework."

Lin Shen graduated from Capital University, a rare college graduate of that era, so he joined the Capital Agriculture Bureau right after graduation and is now a section chief.

After returning from a walk, Lin Ruan returned to her room, took out her homework from her schoolbag and placed it on the desk.

Wang Juan brought a plate of sliced ​​apples and said, "Take your time and write. Don't rush."

Lin Jianguo was watching the news, commenting occasionally, while Lin Shen was reading at the dining table. When he heard Lin Ruan's cry for help, he walked into the room to check on his sister's homework and offer some pointers.

Under the warm light, the family members are doing their own things, but there is a kind of tacit understanding and warmth flowing in the air.

After finishing her homework, Lin Ruan stretched and said, "Finally finished!"

Wang Juan walked over and took a look: "Our Xiaobao's handwriting is becoming more and more beautiful."

Lin Jianguo put down the newspaper and said, "It's getting late. Let's all go to bed. Xiaobao has to go to her grandparents' house tomorrow."

Lin Ruan nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mom and Dad, our school is having a parents' meeting next week. Who will go?"

Wang Juan and Lin Jianguo looked at each other and said at the same time, "I'll go!"

Lin Shen laughed and said, "You guys keep arguing with each other. Look how anxious you guys are. How about we decide it by rock-paper-scissors?"

In the end, Wang Juan won and said happily, "I knew I could go! Xiaobao, Mommy will definitely make you proud!"

Lin Ruan felt warm at heart as she watched her family fight over who would go to the parent-teacher conference. The feeling of being unconditionally valued and loved by her family was something new and novel to her.

Before going to bed, Wang Juan came to Lin Ruan's room and tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "Cover yourself with the quilt at night, don't catch a cold."

"I know, Mom." Lin Ruan said coquettishly, "You've told me many times."

Wang Juan patted her head lovingly: "In your mother's eyes, you will always be a child. Go to sleep quickly. I will fry you an egg tomorrow morning."

"I want to eat two!" Lin Ruan became more and more demanding.

"Okay, two is fine." Wang Juan smiled lovingly, turned off the lights and walked out of the room.

The moonlight poured in through the gaps in the curtains, casting a soft halo on Lin Ruan's face.

She recalled the warm dinner time tonight, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

The system, after watching Lin Ruan's every move during this period, also breathed a sigh of relief.

With a sweet smile, Lin Ruan gradually fell asleep.

Outside the window, the moonlight is bright and the stars are twinkling, as if they are lighting lamps of blessing for this warm home.

The next day was Sunday, and Lin Ruan slept until noon. After washing and having breakfast, she decided to visit her grandparents' house.

Grandma and Grandpa lived in a small courtyard not far from the Little White Building. Wang Juan was an only child, and after giving birth to Lin Ruan, the two old people gave all their love to this granddaughter.

"Xiaobao is here!" Miao Qing opened the door and saw her granddaughter, her face immediately lit up with smiles. "Come in quickly, grandma just made some steamed buns!"

Wang Aidang was practicing Tai Chi in the yard. Seeing her granddaughter, she stopped and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten yet? If not, ask your grandma to heat up some more buns."

"I've eaten, but I love grandma's steamed buns the most!" Lin Ruan said sweetly, and walked into the house with her grandma's arm around her.

Miao Qing was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and hurried to the kitchen to get some steamed buns. Wang Aidang poured her granddaughter a glass of red date water and asked with concern, "How are you feeling lately? How's your studies going? Are you tired?"

Miao Qing came out with a plate of steaming buns: "Xiaobao, try it quickly. These are stuffed with pork and green onions, your favorite."

Lin Ruan picked up a bun and took a bite, squinting her eyes in satisfaction: "Grandma's buns are the best!"

Miao Qing looked at her granddaughter with heartache: "Eat slowly, don't choke. If you like it, grandma will make it for you every day."

"That's impossible. It's too hard." Lin Ruan said, "By the way, grandma, my mom said yesterday that she wants you and grandpa to move in with us."

Wang Aidang waved his hand and said, "No, no, we old couple are very comfortable living here. Besides, it's not far away, you can come anytime you want."

Lin Ruan knew that she couldn't persuade them, so she stopped insisting. She ate buns while chatting with her grandparents.

Lin Ruan stayed at her grandmother's house until the afternoon before slowly walking home.
