After reminiscing about the past, Wang Chen inquired about Qiu Jingwen's work and that of his wife and daughter. Qiu Jingwen truthfully reported on his family members and children. After listening, Wang Chen said, "Have your wife come over for lunch today, and this afternoon you will accompany me to your home."

At noon, Qiu Jingwen called Jiang Yuping to have lunch at the guesthouse. On the phone, he briefly mentioned an old man named Wang, whom he had known since childhood, and explained that Wang and his parents were revolutionary comrades. At the table, after introductions, Jiang Yuping realized that the people sitting at the table were of terrifying identities. Little did she know that the old man her husband had mentioned was a high-ranking official.

After lunch, the couple said goodbye to Wang Chen and returned to their respective posts. As agreed at the dinner table, Jiang Yuping and Qiu Jingwen went home early, tidied up the house, bought fruit, and prepared herbal tea.

Around 3 PM, the group arrived at the residential area in a military jeep. The security at the gate was noticeably tighter, and two armed men stood guard at Qiu Jingwen's building. Only Wang Chen and his accompanying secretary went upstairs, the secretary carrying several boxes of biscuits and canned food. Upon entering Qiu Jingwen's home, Qiu Shou, Qiu Chan, and Qiu Shui ran out of their rooms. Seeing the children, Wang Chen beamed, as if they were his own. He reached out and stroked each child's head, especially looking at Qiu Shou and saying, "You must be Qiu Shou, right?"

"Grandpa, do you know my name?"

"Of course I know. I also know that you are very brave. You look a lot like your dad, and your dad looks a lot like your grandpa. Grandpa likes you very much."

"Grandpa, I like you too."

"Would you like to go to Beijing with Grandpa?"

"Ah, Beijing, do I love Beijing, Tiananmen Square, that Beijing?"

"You little rascal, you're asking a question you already know the answer to, so just tell me if you're willing or not."

"Of course I'd like to. When I get to Beijing, I can visit Tiananmen Square, climb the Great Wall, go to the Forbidden City, and also---."

"You little rascal, you know quite a lot."

After saying that, he looked at Qiu Chan and Qiu Shui and asked, "You two pretty little devils, would you like to go to Beijing?"

"Yes, yes, a hundred times willing."

Although the conditions at Hongqi Factory were good, that was only compared to the surrounding rural areas and county towns. Qiu Chan and Qiu Shui, who had already completed the first year of junior high school and graduated from junior high school, naturally yearned for big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, so it was understandable that they expressed their willingness to work there.

Upon hearing that the children were willing, Wang Chen looked at Qiu Jingwen and Jiang Yuping and said, "Awen and Jiang, look, the children all want to go to Beijing. Are you willing?"
