I'm back in 1990

Chapter 830: Old Customs and Traditions

Fortunately, Huang Xiaochuan was able to understand what he was trying to say, even if he had to guess.

"Alright! Then I won't keep you any longer." Yang patted his shoulder and helped him into the car.

Unexpectedly, less than an hour later, this guy called Huang Xiaochuan again.

It turned out that one of the two pilots on the plane that had brought him to China had suddenly fallen ill and was sent to a local hospital in Shanghai. Long-haul intercontinental flights require at least two pilots to be allowed to fly, so his plane was stuck and he had to call Huang Xiaochuan for help.

"Okay, you can rest at the airport for a while. Someone will contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaochuan instructed Gao Song: "Notify the Global Express crew to send David Young to the United States."

"Okay!" Gao Song immediately went to contact the crew.

With Huang Ruidan, the youngest member of the Huang family, about to turn 100 days old, according to custom and tradition, the matter of holding a 100-day celebration was put on the agenda. As a result, Huang Erhe was summoned by a phone call from his elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan.

"Mom, Dad!" Huang Erhe greeted his parents as he entered the room.

Old Huang had just brewed a pot of tea when he saw his second son arrive, so he quickly invited him over for a cup: "Come and have some tea."

"Hey!" Huang Erhe immediately sat down opposite Lao Huang.

Upon seeing her second son, Zeng Lijuan immediately asked about her beloved granddaughter, "Where's Dandan?"

Huang Erhe, who had just picked up his teacup, quickly stopped and replied, "She's at her maternal grandmother's house with her mother."

Hearing this, Zeng Lijuan pouted unhappily. Ever since her granddaughter was born, she had been thinking about her every day. But her second son, that good-for-nothing, actually sent her precious granddaughter to his mother-in-law's place to be taken care of, which made her very unhappy.

Actually, she was somewhat wrong about Huang Erhe. Cheng Jing's long leave hadn't expired yet, and she was taking advantage of this time to stay home and take care of the children. Considering that she also had two other children, Miguo and Maowa, she decided to go to her parents' home for a while so that she could take care of all three children at the same time. After all, during Cheng Jing's postpartum period in Hong Kong, Maowa and Miguo were both taken care of by Cheng's family, so after returning, Cheng Jing naturally took Dandan to her parents' home.

Seeing his mother's expression, Huang Erhe could naturally guess the reason. When Cheng Jing gave birth, his mother traveled all the way to Hong Kong to wait outside the delivery room. After Dan Dan was born, she took care of her for more than ten days during her postpartum period before reluctantly returning to Shanghai.

On the day of the full moon family banquet, she gave him and Cheng Jing a card, saying it was for her precious granddaughter's future dowry. She didn't say how much money she gave at the time. Afterwards, Huang Erhe checked the balance in the card and found that there was a full five million. Although Huang Erhe had seen money before, his mother's generosity still shocked him.

So he quickly said, "Mom, Chengjing will be going back to work soon. We've both decided that we'll leave Dandan with you. You and Dad can help us take care of her. It'll be hard on you and Dad."

Hearing her second son's words, Zeng Lijuan's mood immediately improved, and she became more amiable towards him.

"Okay, okay! You all go about your business, don't worry about Dandan. I've also contacted an experienced nanny, she'll help me out, so it won't be too hard for us."

Upon hearing this, Huang Erhe broke out in a cold sweat. Good heavens! They've already found a nanny. If he doesn't think things through, he'll definitely be in trouble.

Old Huang chimed in, "Your mother and I raised you three brothers, and it wasn't too tiring. Besides, conditions are much better now than when you were kids. We also have professional help, so you can rest assured leaving us here."

Since things had come to this point, Huang Erhe quickly said, "What could we possibly be worried about? It's precisely because we trust you that we'd like to ask you to help us take care of them."

The elderly couple exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes. In their old age, all they wanted was to enjoy this kind of family bliss! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been urging their second son and his wife to have another child.

Afterwards, Zeng Lijuan asked her second son about her granddaughter's 100-day celebration.

"Have you made all the arrangements for Dandan's 100-day celebration?" Old Huang asked, looking at his second son.

Knowing his parents took this matter seriously, Huang Erhe quickly replied, "It's all arranged. It'll be held at Jianhua's restaurant. You all know where he is, so don't worry!"

Zeng Lijuan frowned slightly and muttered, "There are so many five-star hotels outside."

Huang Erhe understood his mother's meaning. She meant that such things should be done in a grand manner, and besides, it wasn't like they didn't have the means. However, Huang Erhe had discussed it with his younger brother Huang Xiaochuan beforehand. Tang Jianhua's restaurant was no less than the catering departments of those five-star hotels, and he felt more at ease having family members arrange the matter.

So he brought up his younger brother: "I discussed it with Xiaochuan, and Xiaochuan felt the same way, thinking it would be better to leave him with Jianhua."

The elderly couple, especially Zeng Lijuan, no longer had any objections after hearing that their youngest son also agreed to hold the banquet at their niece's husband's restaurant.

The elderly couple chatted with their second son for a while, and gave him some special instructions before letting him go home. It wasn't that they didn't want to keep him for a meal, but they were mainly concerned that their second son had a lot of things to do and that their little granddaughter was still young and needed someone to take care of her.

After leaving his parents' house, Huang Erhe drove to his father-in-law's house.

"Look who's back! It's Dad!" Cheng Jing greeted Huang Erhe while holding Xiao Dandan when she saw him return.

The little guy is almost 100 days old, and his little head is already quite perky. The most interesting thing is that he's already started recognizing people at such a young age.

However, she doesn't have much affection for her biological father yet. After glancing at him a few times, her little head couldn't hold on any longer, and she buried her head in her mother's arms.

Huang Erhe didn't take it to heart. After greeting his parents-in-law, he asked, "Why are you in such good spirits today?" He was asking about the little guy.

"She just woke up not long ago, of course she's full of energy." Cheng Jing hugged her little daughter affectionately, teasing her as she did so.

"Aren't Maowa and Miguo out of school yet?" Huang Erhe asked casually when he didn't see the other two children.

At this moment, Cheng's mother chimed in, "Xiao Wu has already gone to pick him up, he should be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yiwu led Maowa and Miguo into the house.

Migo dropped her schoolbag and rushed towards her younger sister, yelling, "Give me a hug!"

Cheng Jing didn't let her hug her, but instead ordered, "Go wash your hands first, and then I'll let you hug me after you've washed your hands and changed your clothes." Mi Guo quickly ran off to wash her hands.

"Dad, Mom! Grandpa and Grandma!" Maowa greeted the elders one by one as he entered the room.

Huang Erhe patted his son's head: "Go wash your hands too."

"Hey!" Maowa handed his schoolbag to his father and went to wash his hands with Miguo.

After Miguo and Maowa each hugged their little sister, they went to do their homework. Actually, Maowa didn't want to hug her, but seeing that Miguo had hugged her, he felt it would be wrong not to hug her too, so he gave her a perfunctory hug and then quickly returned her to his stepmother.
