Chapter 1447: The Grand Finale (33)
The monkeys boarded the chartered flight because their mom was sleeping, and their dad and uncle were taking care of her. Their grandparents weren’t feeling great either. After learning about their mom’s illness, it seemed like they had aged several years, but fortunately, their strict grandpa was following along this time. Xiao Jianming handed the airplane meals to his two grandsons and ordered, "You won’t have energy to work if you don’t eat. Your mom must have told you that."
Lingxin nodded his small head, "When Mingli went missing, dad and mom both said this, that no matter what, we must conserve our strength first."
Mingli whispered into his brother’s little ear, "Why did grandpa come?"
Realizing that his brother wasn’t aware of what happened before, Lingxin told him, "Before we went to find you last time, grandpa also came to the United States and helped us a lot."
Mingli’s little eyes rolled around. To be honest, when he saw Xiao Jianming coming, he felt a bit scared in his little heart, because he had heard adults say before that grandpa didn’t seem to like their mom and once took their dad away from her. However, if grandpa dared to take dad away from mom this time, the two brothers would definitely not stand by and watch.
Xiao Jianming’s steady gaze swept over the small faces of his two grandsons. Due to certain reasons, he really hadn’t interacted much with the two brothers since they were born, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t aware of their matters. In his view, their mother had always taught the children well, and their in-laws took good care of them, so if he intervened, it would be not only unnecessary but also redundant. He had actually named these two children. Therefore, he must tell these two children, "You must be filial to your mom, understand?"
The two brothers were taken aback simultaneously, as if no matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t imagine Xiao Jianming would say such a thing to them.
Xiao Jianming spoke earnestly, "At that time, if it weren’t for your mom using all her strength, no matter what, even if it meant risking her own life to save you, you wouldn’t have been able to be born and come into this world."
"Grandpa—"
"Lingxin, remember, even if your mom never hears again, as long as you are there, she can hear."
Lingxin’s small head paused for a moment: could it be that his name means—this?
"Mingli, as for you, as long as you’re there, your mom will feel happy. Understand?"
As expected, the second monkey thought differently from the big monkey. Pouting, he said to Xiao Jianming, "You don’t need to tell me that. I already know. I’m the joy of our family."
Xiao Jianming couldn’t help but smile and placed another piece of dry bread in the second monkey’s bowl.
"I can’t eat too much. I have to keep my figure." The rescued second monkey, once again fixated on his little idol goal, said, "I want to be a little idol that makes mom proud."
"Alright." Xiao Jianming replaced the dry bread in his bowl with slices of fruit.
Opposite them, the silhouette of their father-in-law with the children came into Gu Nuan’s blurry vision. The injection given by Tang Sili made her feel drowsy and a bit annoyed.
"Sis, you rest well and don’t worry. If we need you to provide information, we’ll wake you up." Ou Yanan gestured a few sign language gestures to her.
Xiao Yebai turned his head and saw his brother-in-law’s sign language. He suddenly realized that he used to say he wanted to learn this from his wife, but she wouldn’t let him. Now, should he learn it? If he did, wouldn’t that mean giving up? So, it turned out his wife didn’t want him to learn for this reason. Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes.
Sitting on the other side, Gu Sheng looked up at the ceiling of the airplane cabin. He was undoubtedly the most unique among everyone, standing out as an oddball.
