I'm back in 1990

Chapter 781: Digging a Hole for Oneself to Jump In

As Huang Xiaochuan left the classroom, he saw Qi Huan talking to a teacher. He greeted her and then left, as he needed to hurry to his parents' house to pick up his two children.

As soon as he reached the gate, he heard the sound of a trumpet coming from the yard. Huang Xiaochuan shook his head; this girl was really addicted to playing it.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, sure enough, the little girl was earnestly playing a tune she had just learned in front of her grandfather, and Old Huang was listening with great interest.

After finishing her piece, the little girl didn't forget to ask her grandfather, "Grandpa, did I play well?"

"It sounds so good! How come my little Duo plays it so well!" Old Huang had transformed into a loyal fan of his granddaughter.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but shake his head. One of them was just spouting off like a half-baked amateur, while the other was praising without any bottom line. This grandfather and grandson were truly a pair of clowns.

The little girl saw her father arrive and immediately rushed towards him, crying, "Daddy!"

Huang Xiaochuan quickly reached out and caught her. As the little girl grew up day by day, the impact was too great: "Ouch, I say, daughter! Can you be a little gentler? If your dad were any weaker, you would have knocked me to the ground."

The little girl asked eagerly, "Daddy, did the teacher praise me?"

"Yes, that's a compliment. They said you have a strong sense of collective honor and often help your classmates."

Just as the little girl was about to get cocky, Huang Xiaochuan's "but" quickly put her to rest.

"The teacher said that you often bring your trumpet into the classroom to play, which can easily disturb other students."

The little girl retorted, "I only blew it during breaks between classes."

Huang Xiaochuan adopted a stern expression: "That's still not allowed. Recess is for you to rest and play. How are the other students supposed to rest if you keep playing your trumpet?"

When Old Huang saw his son disciplining his granddaughter, he didn't interfere and quietly went into the house. He always did this; he loved his grandchildren, but when it came to their education, he always stood on his sons' side and never interfered, not even his wife, Zeng Lijuan.

Upon hearing Huang Xiaochuan's words, the little girl's momentum immediately weakened, but she still retorted, "When I was bragging, no one objected!"

Huang Xiaochuan glared at him: "Do you think they'd dare to object to you? With your fierce temper, you might just go and argue with their classmate."

"Hehehe!" The little girl laughed awkwardly, having been hit where her father had hit the nail on the head.

Huang Xiaochuan knew when to stop, knowing the little girl had taken his words to heart.

"Where's your brother?"

The little girl pointed inside the house: "My brother is inside."

Huang Xiaochuan walked into the house. Huang Zeji was diligently doing his homework in his grandfather's study. Seeing this, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but glare at the little girl again: "Have you finished your homework?"

The little girl didn't say a word and immediately took her schoolbag to the study.

Huang Xiaochuan then sat down next to his father, asking, "Dad! Where's Mom?"

Old Huang glanced at the clock in the living room: "She went out shopping with your aunt. They should be back soon."

"Oh!" Huang Xiaochuan brewed himself a cup of tea using Lao Huang's tea set.

At this moment, Old Huang asked, "When is Yu Xiang coming back?"

Ignoring the fact that it was too hot to drink, Huang Xiaochuan blew on the tea, took a sip, and then replied, "They said they'd be back today, but it'll probably be tonight."

Huang Xiaochuan spent some time at his parents' house with his elderly father, drinking tea and chatting for a while.

Not long after, Zeng Lijuan, Huang Xiaochuan's mother, and his aunt returned with a full load of goods. Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, the two mothers naturally showered him with concern and care.

Huang Xiaochuan quickly got up to help take the things from the two mothers and put them on the sofa.

As Zeng Lijuan handed the things to her son, she asked, "Where's Yu Xiang? Hasn't she come back yet?"

She got home in the evening.

Zeng Lijuan looked at her youngest son: "Are you having dinner at home tonight? I had the nanny buy a lot of groceries today."

Huang Xiaochuan explained to his elderly mother, "No, I'll take Xiaodong and Xiaoduo home after they finish their homework. Yu Xiang will be back tonight, and the four of us can eat together."

Then Huang Xiaochuan asked his aunt, "Aunt, how have you been lately?"

My aunt waved her hand and said, "Oh, don't worry about me, I'm perfectly healthy."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "I think it's a good idea too!"

Huang Xiaochuan chatted with the two mothers for a while longer. After the two children finished their homework, Huang Xiaochuan checked it and found no mistakes. The handwriting was also very neat. Then he told the two children to pack their schoolbags and prepare to go home.

"Dad, Mom, Aunt, we're going home."

"Be careful on the road," Old Huang said, standing up to remind his son.

Huang Xiaochuan nodded and said to his two children, "Say goodbye to Grandpa, Grandma, and Great-Aunt!"

The two little ones respectfully said goodbye to their three elders: "Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma! Goodbye, Auntie!"

Zeng Lijuan and her aunt saw the two little ones to the door, and each told them, "Come back for dinner on Sunday."

"Come over for dinner on Saturday!"

The three men agreed one by one.

Halfway there, Huang Xiaochuan received a call from Yu Xiang.

Halfway there, Huang Xiaochuan received a call from Yu Xiang.

"Oh! You're already home? We're still on our way back."

After hanging up the phone, the little girl excitedly asked, "Mommy's back?"

"Yeah, you're back. I think you don't miss your mom, you just want a present." Huang Xiaochuan directly saw through the little girl's thoughts.

To everyone's surprise, the little girl replied, "No, I want both Mommy and the present!"

Huang Xiaochuan was both amused and exasperated. Well, this girl is not one to suffer losses in the future.

During dinner, Huang Xiaochuan told Yu Xiang about the jokes he and Qi Huan had made that day.

"I ran into Qi Huan today, and guess what? She said she'll come pick up Huang Ruiying to stay at her house for a while during summer vacation, and she even told you to pack 'her daughter's' luggage as soon as possible."

Yu Xiang was incredibly clever; she immediately understood the implied meaning and asked the man with a smile, "What did you say? You're not digging a hole for yourself again, are you?"

Huang Xiaochuan scoffed, "Tch! Who do you think I am! I told you, as long as Huang Ruiying wants to go, I won't object at all. I guarantee our daughter will absolutely hate to leave us. Look, you've only been in Hong Kong for a few days, and she already misses you terribly."

Huang Ruiying, who was eating heartily, overheard her parents' conversation and immediately looked up: "Going to Aunt Qi's house? That's great!"

Huang Xiaochuan's face froze instantly.

Seeing the man's expression, Yu Xiang laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Hahaha! You were too confident! You're really digging a hole for yourself!"

Huang Xiaochuan was filled with regret! He had truly shot himself in the foot.

He earnestly advised his daughter, "Xiaoduo! Let me tell you, you can't be as relaxed at someone else's house as you are at your own. I think you shouldn't go, okay?"

"I want to go!" Huang Ruiying was looking forward to having fun with Ding Xiaojia during the summer vacation, and Aunt Qi was so kind to her.

Huang Xiaochuan looked helpless, but he was still unwilling to give up and started to make plans in his mind again.
