Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 829 - 741: Return to the Mei Family (2)

"Do we have paintbrushes?"

"Yes."

"Oh, oh, great!"

When Mei Shuqing brought them to the old Mei Family residence, a few people were already waiting.

Leading the group were Mr. Mei and Old Mrs. Mei, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Mei Shuping came out to welcome them, having long hoped for his son’s return, and today his wish finally came true.

"Xiao Yi, you’re back, come in quickly. Don’t let the child get sunburned," Mei Shuping naturally noticed the child in Han Yi’s arms.

That was his granddaughter!

A few years ago, when he learned Xiao Chi had a child, he was happy too, as it was his eldest grandchild.

But after all the drama between the couple, by the time he saw the child, she was already over a year old.

Every time he saw his grandson, it was always in a sneaky manner. He never imagined it would end in vain joy.

Last time when he went to Z City, he paid attention to this little granddaughter at Han Yi’s place, but the adults were too intense that day, scaring the child. They didn’t even exchange words, nor did he get to hold her.

Han Yi naturally felt Mei Shuping’s gaze. Although he didn’t want to call him, since he’s here, he couldn’t avoid it, so he forcefully looked at Mei Shuping and called, "Dad."

"Ah, good, good, come in quickly," Mei Shuping couldn’t be happier.

"Xingxing, this is Grandpa, call Grandpa."

"Hello, Grandpa," Little Star said, scratching her head in confusion, unsure why he wasn’t Great Grandpa or Third Grandpa.

Because she already had a Grandpa.

Though puzzled, she didn’t ask since she noticed the old lady who argued with her mom that day. Now, she was sitting in the living room, glaring, which was quite frightening.

"Ah, Xingxing is so good, here, Grandpa will give you a red envelope, buy some candies, okay?" This was the happiest moment for Mei Shuping in years.

His son is a good one, though they don’t get along, but the granddaughter he gave him is indeed adorable.

He had prepared this red envelope for half a month, just waiting for them to come.

Mei Shuping took out a large red envelope from his pocket, anyone with keen eyes could tell it contained quite a bit.

Little Star had been in the circle of elders during these years, especially during New Years, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncles, and Aunties would give her a lot of New Year money, and she had asked Dad to save it for her as a dowry.

Looking at the thick red envelope, Little Star giggled and impulsively kissed Mei Shuping on the cheek. "Thank you, Grandpa."

Mei Shuping froze for a few seconds before realizing, overjoyed, he nearly choked.

There hadn’t been a joyful atmosphere in the family for many years, and they had never experienced such merriment.

Little Star’s kiss surprised everyone in the room.

Mei Shuqing felt a bit jealous, his granddaughter hadn’t kissed her at home, a mistake, looks like she needs to go home and prepare a big one.

Grandmaster Mei and Old Mrs. Mei also stood up enviously from the sofa; this was their great-granddaughter.

Last time, when they arrived, the little girl immediately spoke to her upon entering; however, she was unfamiliar at the time. She quickly dove into her father’s arms, unwilling to engage with them.

In the end, it turned into an argument, probably frightening her.

"Come, my great-granddaughter, Xingxing, call Great Grandpa, Great Grandpa has a red envelope too."

"Xingxing, this is Great Grandpa, Grandpa’s father, and this is Great Grandma, Grandpa’s mother," Han Yi set Little Star down and introduced them.

But Little Star looked at them, somewhat timid, glanced at Lin Wan, saw her give a hint.

Little Star immediately understood, quickly ran to Grandmaster Mei and sweetly called out, "Great Grandpa."

Old Mrs. Mei eagerly pulled Little Star over to persuade her with affection, liking her immensely.

"It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back. Please, everyone sit," the years left their marks like blemishes on walls, aging Mr. Mei’s face, though his smile lightened them somewhat, turning him into an approachable, kind elder.

"Grandpa, Grandma," Han Yi held Lin Wan’s hand and thoughtfully called out before sitting down.

Lin Wan also obediently followed suit.

However, the expression on their faces was somewhat indifferent, unsure if they felt close or distant.

Despite this, Mr. Mei was already joyous. He even prepared meeting gifts for the two adults.

Even Old Mrs. Mei didn’t make it difficult for Lin Wan this time, but neither did she seem very welcoming. Lin Wan could sense that Old Mrs. Mei wasn’t very fond of them either. Amidst the laughter brought by Little Star’s receiving several large red envelopes, a light snort unexpectedly came from upstairs.
