Early the next morning, because it was summer, the sun rose early, around six o'clock, and Sun Yuqi woke up. Mu Jingran got up and cooked. After the two of them had eaten, Mu Jingran rode his bicycle with Sun Yuqi's luggage on his back, and Sun Yuqi rode his bicycle towards the courtyard.

When we arrived at Grandpa Mu's courtyard, the gate was already open. Grandma Mu and my aunt Qu Wenting were sitting in the yard picking vegetables.

Seeing the couple coming, Qu Wenting stood up with a smile on her face and walked to the door.

"Oh, you're back. Come in quickly. Let's go, Yuqi. The car is parked here. Just leave it to Jingran. The grown man should do more work. It won't tire him out. Let's go and see your room."

After saying that, he pulled Sun Yuqi to the west wing without saying anything. After entering, Sun Yuqi looked at the room. There were three rooms in the west wing. The one on the north was prepared for Mu Xianglan's family, the middle one was the living room, and the south one was Mu Jingran's. This would be the residence of Mu Jingran and Sun Yuqi in the future.

When Mu Jingran lived here before, he also lived in this room. The southernmost room in the east wing was Mu Chenlan's room, the middle was a dining room, and the room on the north was the kitchen.

There are three rooms in the north. The middle one is the living room. The east room is where Mu Huaiqing and his wife live, and the west room is their study.

"Yuqi, if there's anything you're not satisfied with, your aunt will change it for you."

Hearing Qu Wenting say this, Sun Yuqi felt a little ashamed. Qu Wenting was a better aunt than the average mother-in-law, so she smiled quickly.

"Aunt, this is pretty good. Now that we have a room like this in Beijing, it means that the family is a good one. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Qu Wenting was happy to see that Sun Yuqi was very satisfied. To be honest, it wasn't that Qu Wenting liked Sun Yuqi. The main reason was that Mu Chenlan had not yet married and was already in his thirties.

Qu Wenting also knew that there was a reason why her son had not yet married, but it might also be because he was old enough to have grandchildren. She saw many people of similar age as her had grandchildren, but her own daughter-in-law was still nowhere to be seen.

Qu Wenting knew that this matter could not be forced. A few years ago, due to the bad situation, the Mu family also suffered. Her parents-in-law were sent down, she and her husband were also sent down, and her son and daughter were also sent down. At that time, only Jing Ran, who had joined the army, escaped.

Later, my son's arranged marriage in Beijing fell through, and he was heartbroken. Since then, my personality has changed drastically, and I have become much less talkative. Although I am back now, it seems that I don't know when I can talk about love again.

Sun Yuqi had no idea what Qu Wenting was thinking. After Mu Jingran moved all the luggage in, she hurried back to work.

After seeing Mu Jingran off, Sun Yuqi officially began her life in the courtyard. Basically, every day after getting up, she would take a half-hour walk in the courtyard, then have breakfast. After breakfast, she would accompany her grandmother to visit every family in the alley, and let all the neighbors know that Mu's granddaughter-in-law was pregnant.

In fact, Grandma Mu’s real intention was to let everyone know that Mu’s granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, and everyone should be careful when going in and out of the alley in the future.

Sun Yuqi was very touched by Grandma Mu's concern. You know, it doesn't matter whether these things are said or not, but Grandma Mu still did it.

Within two days, Lin Muren and Lu Yao learned about Sun Yuqi's pregnancy, and then came to visit Sun Yuqi.

"Tell me, you didn't even tell us two about such a big thing. Do you still care about us sisters?"

Sun Yuqi was also a little embarrassed, mainly because she had been living here with her grandmother and the others for the past two days. Once she relaxed, she forgot about this matter. Another reason was that Lin Muren and Chen Hao were at the most critical period of starting a business, and their business was growing bigger and bigger, so Sun Yuqi subconsciously ignored it.

"Okay, I was wrong. I apologize. I'll let you know when the baby is born."

Lu Yao sat aside without complaining. Sun Yuqi looked at Lu Yao in confusion, then looked at Lin Muran, who shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Lu Yao came back to her senses when she heard Sun Yuqi's voice. She smiled a little embarrassedly, but the smile seemed quite forced. Seeing this, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren knew that this girl must have encountered something.

"Yaoyao, we are good sisters. We have been together for so many years. If you have any problems, just tell us. We will definitely help you if we can. If the worst comes to the worst, we can also give you some advice, right?"

After hearing what Sun Yuqi said, Lu Yao smiled helplessly.

"Yuqi, Muran, my boyfriend went to the southern border two years ago. You know how dangerous it is there. I didn't stop him when he wanted to go, but I haven't heard from him since half a year ago. I called their family, but they haven't heard from him either. I asked Grandpa to help me find out, but there's still no news."

Hearing Lu Yao say this, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren remembered that in 1980, Lu Yao's boyfriend went to the southern front. Lu Yao wanted to object at the time, but Grandpa Lu strongly supported Lu Yao's boyfriend to go. However, two years have passed since he left, and they didn't expect that the next time they heard news about him was this.

Sun Yuqi thought about it, and some of the scenes in the novels she read in her previous life were about the male protagonist going to the battlefield and eventually losing his memory, or being rescued by his fellow villagers.

"Yaoyao, maybe your partner is injured now and is recuperating at a fellow villager's home. We should just wait patiently. It's useless for you to worry so much here. You have to cheer up. If he comes back and is injured, won't he still need you to take care of him?"

Sun Yuqi knew that this was a bit too much, but looking at Lu Yao's current condition, it would be better to give her some hope.

In Sun Yuqi's opinion, it is more likely that Lu Yao's partner is no longer with her. Of course, she cannot tell this to Lu Yao.

With the persuasion of Lin Muran and Sun Yuqi, Lu Yao felt much better. Finally, the two of them had lunch at Mu's house before leaving.

After seeing the two off, Sun Yuqi sat under a big tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air. It was already mid-July and the weather was even hotter. Sun Yuqi usually seldom went out and stayed at home every day, being taken care of by her grandmother Mu and aunt Qu Wenting.
