Zhou Jing sent Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang to the gate of the military family compound, then stopped and said to Jiang Wang, "Can I have a few words with Hanhan?"

A look of doubt appeared on Jiang Wang's face, and then he looked at Ye Han hesitantly.

"Brother, do you want to tell me something?" Ye Hanhan was even more confused than Jiang Wang.

"Um."

Zhou Jing answered very straightforwardly.

Jiang Wang went aside, leaving the space to Ye Hanhan and Zhou Jing.

"Xianhan, since you have become a member of our Zhou family, there are some things I think I need to tell you."

Ye Xuanhan stood there in a daze. Could it be that the Zhou family had some family rules and traditions that they required him to memorize them?

Seeing that Ye Hanhan was a little confused, Zhou Jing said, "Hanhan, Siqi has a bad temper. I hope you can be more tolerant in the future. If possible, try to avoid her when you come home, otherwise it will make my parents angry again."

...

...

Upon hearing this, Ye Han nodded, "I understand."

She thought Zhou Jing was going to talk about something important, but unexpectedly he was talking about Zhou Siqi's matter. She felt helpless.

Does she look like someone who doesn't know much? How could she be as knowledgeable as Zhou Siqi?

"Well, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."

Zhou Jing said nothing more and asked Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang to go home quickly.

After taking the afternoon bus, Ye Han and Jiang Wang quickly arrived home.

As soon as they entered the yard, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang called Ye Hanhan and said, "Hanhan, a comrade from the post office just came over and said there's a letter for you. I put it on the table in the main hall for you."

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang respected Ye Xuanhan very much. Even if she and Jiang Wang were not at home and the door was not locked, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang would not enter the house without permission, so they put the letter on the table in the main room.

"I understand," Ye Han replied.

At the same time, I was a little curious. Who would send me a letter during the New Year?

When I took the letter in my hand, I found out that it was sent by Qian Lanlan.

The main purpose of her writing this letter was to tell Ye Yanhan about her recent situation as well as the situations of Grandma Meng and Old Man Wang.

The two old people's lives have been much better recently, probably because the members of the brigade have gradually begun to forget about them, and the higher-ups no longer use them as examples for criticism as they did before.

In addition, Qian Lanlan said that she had asked the team leader for a week's home visit leave and was going to the Northeast to visit her younger sister. She also asked Ye Han if he wanted to go with her.

It was probably after the Chinese New Year, which was March.

Ye Xuanhan really wanted to go to the Northeast. He heard that there were many rare herbs in the mountains there. If he could go there, he would definitely be able to harvest a lot of good things.

But the two children are her concern, and it would not be good if she left without permission.

Ye Hanhan thought about it and wrote a letter to reject Qian Lanlan and explained the reason. He went to the nearest post office that day and mailed the letter.

When I returned home after sending the letter, I happened to run into Wang Xiaobao squatting in the corner.

Ye Han thought the other party was observing something, so out of curiosity, he walked over to take a look. However, as soon as he approached, he heard Wang Xiaobao sobbing.

"Xiaobao, do you miss your grandparents?" Ye Han squatted down and talked to Wang Xiaobao.

Wang Xiaobao looked up and saw that it was Ye Han who came over. He quickly wiped the tears from his face and said, "Sister Han, I... I just accidentally got blinded by the sand."

Ye Han shook his head helplessly. When did Wang Xiaobao learn this trick from others?

"There is no sand nearby," Ye Hanhan ruthlessly exposed Wang Xiaobao, and then sighed reluctantly, "Xiaobao, you are still a child, cry if you want to, you don't have to swallow your tears like an adult."

Xiaobao is indeed a pitiful child. His grandparents suffer in the countryside, his father died early, and his mother remarried and pretended not to know him.

For a ten-year-old child, it was too cruel.

What were you doing when you were ten years old in your previous life?

Ye Xuanhan couldn't quite remember.

But what is certain is that I am definitely carefree and do not have to face so many trivial matters all day long like Wang Xiaobao, the little adult.

When people are vulnerable, they are most afraid of others' care. Wang Xiaobao is still a child, so he is no exception.

Ye Yanhan’s concern made his eyes instantly red, and then he buried his head in Ye Yanhan’s shoulder and began to cry.

"Sister Han, I miss my grandparents. I really miss them."

"Xiaobao, if you really miss your grandparents, then study hard and bring them back when you have made a difference. Got it?"

In a few years, Mr. Wang and other intellectuals will be rehabilitated, and Wang Xiaobao will definitely be able to meet Mr. Wang and Grandma Meng.

"But I want to see them now," Wang Xiaobao said, choking up. "You are all very kind to me, but I still can't help but miss my grandparents."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaobao began to cry loudly.

Looking at Wang Xiaobao who was crying so hard, Ye Han couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

After all, Wang Xiaobao is just a child. If he grows up a little, he will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of Old Wang and Grandma Meng.

He was a child who lived with his grandparents in the countryside, suffering from hunger and unable to go to school properly.

Even if Mr. Wang had any way, he couldn't send him here.

"Xiaobao," Ye Han hugged Wang Xiaobao's small body tightly, "If Sister Han swears that you will definitely be able to meet your grandparents in the future, do you believe it?"

Wang Xiaobao raised his head and looked at Ye Yanhan with a puzzled look, "Really?"

"Really?" Ye Han nodded heavily. "A liar is a puppy."

Wang Xiaobao burst into laughter, stood up and went back to the house, saying that he wanted to wash his face.

But Ye Xuanhan turned around and looked somewhere at the entrance of the alley, his eyes lost in thought.

If she had seen correctly, there was a woman standing over there.

That person was none other than Wang Xiaobao's biological mother Liu Haiyan.

What is she here for?

Ye Xuanhan was very confused, and then as if he remembered something, he quickly ran towards the entrance of the alley.

But it was still too late and Liu Haiyan escaped.

The other person was riding a shabby 28-inch bicycle, and he pedaled it so hard that it made a loud rattling sound, as if there was an evil ghost chasing him.

Looking at Liu Haiyan's back, Ye Han began to fall into deep thought.

…

People have to stay up all night on the night of New Year’s Eve. Whoever stays up the latest will have the most blessings in the coming year.

Ye Xuanhan prepared fruits, melon seeds, and various foods. He and Jiang Wang sat in the main room holding the two children and chatted with Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.

The family is having a great time.

In the second half of the night, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and went back to the house to rest.
