Brigade Commander Song smiled happily, "Hehe, I cooperated with Lao Hu and hunted a lot of wild chickens and rabbits. On the island, we can only go to the sea to catch fish and shrimps, which is boring. It's better to go into the mountains and come back to play when we have free time. Lao Hu, right?"

Hu Xiaoyi nodded, "The weather in Yun Province is warm and not humid, which is very suitable for retirement. When I retire, I will buy a small yard here and grow vegetables and flowers. I don't want to bother the children!"

Brigade Commander Song hit it off with him and they agreed to live here permanently in the future.

Aunt Hu was too lazy to correct him. She thought what happened was what happened. Looking at the people coming and going outside, she sighed, "There were a lot of people when we came here, but there were only a few of us when we left. I'm not used to it yet. The young people went to school, and I don't know when they will return to the island."

Qin Huan smiled and said, "Sister, don't think about it. All good things must come to an end. We have been in the family compound for so many years, and how many people have come and gone?

The camp remains the same, but the soldiers are always changing. The children are very competitive and we are proud of them. When the men retire, we will travel around and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. "

Qin Huan is very busy in the hospital, and Aunt Hu is at home taking care of her two sons' grandchildren. Neither of them has an easy time, as they both run around for their families.

Hu Xueer and Lu Yan were there too. She leaned on Aunt Hu's shoulder and said sullenly, "Mom, I'm studying in a nearby university and can come back to accompany you on weekends."

Aunt Hu tapped her forehead and said, "What a waste that you did so well in the exam. I thought you would choose a university in Beijing. Are you really planning to settle down on the island?"

Hu Xueer held Manman in her arms. Manman blinked her dark and bright eyes and said to Aunt Hu obediently, "Grandma, you can't hit Mommy. It will hurt Mommy. Grandma is so bad."

Aunt Hu pinched his face and said in a fierce voice, "What's wrong with grandma? Your mother is my daughter, and I am her elder. I can beat her or scold her if I want.

You little bastard, are you trying to teach me a lesson? Have you forgotten who usually takes you out to buy candy and make clothes for you? "

Manman rubbed her palm, like a little kitten, and said coquettishly: "I just don't want grandma and mom to have a conflict. If grandma is angry, you can hit me. Manman is a little man and is not afraid of pain."

Aunt Hu's heart softened when she saw his eyelids fluttering and how well-behaved and cute he was.

This kid has such a superior collection of genes!

She touched Manmang's little head and said, "Manmang is so good that grandma can't bear to hit you. Come, let grandma hold you for a while. When your mother goes to school, grandma will take care of you."

Manman nodded: "I will listen to grandma."

Lu Yan and Hu Xueer are both busy, so the family either hires an aunt or leaves it to Aunt Hu.

I have almost finished taking care of the eldest and second families, and it’s time to give the children to my daughter.

The two sisters-in-law had nothing to say. It was mainly because the mother-in-law did her job well and the family was quite united.

After Brigade Commander Song and his men left, the house felt a little lonely, and Miao Xiuying felt a little uncomfortable with it.

It was the beginning of the new year, the sun was out and it was very hot. She had nothing to do at home, so she took a stool and went downstairs to chat with those loud speakers. Was she talking about all the gossip in the neighborhood?

Time passed quickly and it was the fifteenth day in a blink of an eye. Zhang Yulan mentioned it several times.

Miao Xiuying couldn't stand it, so she took her family to the countryside to have a meal together.

I've already bought the ticket for the 17th.

Zhang Yulan suddenly had an idea, drank two sips of rice wine, and said slowly: "Times are good, life is beautiful, you are going to Beijing, I am afraid you won't come back in the past two years, I used to see you every day, but now I have to buy a train ticket if I want to see you!

The place where the leader lives must be a Feng Shui treasure land. When I have money in the future, I also want to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony and climb the Great Wall. It is said to be very spectacular, but I have only heard of it in semiconductors. "

Miao Xiuying drank a glass with her and said, "Come if you want to. Why worry so much? We are old and have a few years to live. We don't need you to worry about the eldest and the second child.

This family has been divided, you just need to take care of yourself, come on, let's have a good time around Beijing City."

Zhang Yulan smiled happily, "That's great, I'll wait for you to pick me up."

The two of them drank a few sips and talked excitedly, and then went back to their room to rest late at night.

They also spent the 16th in the countryside. Early in the morning of the 17th, Lu Lin sent them to the county bus station to take a bus to the provincial capital.

Lu Lin was like a wilted cabbage. As a grown man, he felt very uncomfortable.

He said in a sullen voice: "Mom, come back more often with Dad when you have time. This hometown can't do without you."

Miao Xiuying said solemnly: "You are the eldest in the family. The matter of burning incense and paper for the ancestors is now in your hands. We will come back when we are free."

Lu Jianguo is going to Beijing, so happy? The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, "The burden of the family is handed over to you. After we leave, if you have any problems, just call us or send us a telegram."

Lu Lin nodded, and He Miao brought them his braised tea eggs and fried meat patties.

After they got on the bus, the two went back.

Jiang Yan set off for Beijing. The sleeper berths bought by the family were just the right size to fit together, so they would avoid having to deal with the worst of the best.

Yunnan Province is thousands of miles away from Beijing. After lying down for more than ten days, my back and waist were sore, and the scenery in front of me was completely new.

The buildings here are much taller than those on the island and in Yun Province.

Miao Xiuying was like a country bumpkin coming to the city, everything she saw was curious.

Jiang Yan reminded her to keep her money safe as there were many pickpockets around, and then took them to the bus after they got out of the train station.

Lu Jianguo looked here and there and saw several cars.

Several people went straight to the address given by Qin Huan. Perhaps Qin Huan called and said that the Qin family had someone clean the small yard of about 100 square meters. It was kept clean and there were pots, pans, and utensils everywhere.

Miao Xiuying put down her heavy luggage, pounded her shoulders, and sat down on the bench. "Oh, we are finally here. My old bones are almost broken. Is this the yard of your Aunt Qin's house? It has been well renovated. It will cost a lot of money to rent it out. But you just gave it to me. How generous."

She didn't know that Qin Huan had several courtyards like this one! There was also a quadrangle with three entrances.

It's just that she is a low-key person and works diligently every day. If you don't know her, you might think that the family expenses are too high and there is not enough money.

In fact, she is a wealthy woman and has no worries about money.

Jiang Yan turned her neck. Her cervical spine was almost hurt. Lu Xiao was behind her, pinching it gently.

Jiang Yan looked around and said seriously, "Mom, go ask around these two days to see if anyone has a small courtyard like this for sale. Let's go and negotiate the price.

Aunt Qin, we can't live here forever. No matter how good the house is, it's not as good as our own doghouse. Don't take too much luggage with you, otherwise it will be difficult to pack.

Find a place with a wide yard, then you and dad can grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks to pass the time."
