"Could it be that they remembered the wrong train number?" Jiang Minghe said to his younger brother Jiang Mingjing.

"No, it's this train. There are probably too many people. We'll just have to wait a bit longer." Jiang Mingjing was convinced he hadn't misheard.

"I wonder how Yao Yao is doing lately. An Lude went north, and Yao Yao is all alone in Fucheng. She still has to go to work every day. I wonder if she's doing well. I heard her say on the phone with Song Ting that she hasn't been eating much meat lately. She must be suffering a lot!"

Jiang Minghe felt anxious and saddened when he thought about how hard his daughter had suffered.

“The children have all grown up. They all came from the famine era, and they are lucky to have any food to eat,” Jiang Mingjing said from the side.

When the famine years were mentioned, Jiang Minghe silently shut up; it was during that period that he wronged his daughter.

“This time, Yao Yao and Qiao Yue are coming over, and we can’t keep it a secret from the old lady. Why don’t we take the children to see her?” Jiang Minghe turned to ask Jiang Mingjing.

"It depends on whether Qiaoyue is willing or not; I can't control that." Thinking of his mother's face, Jiang Mingjing felt inexplicably repulsed.

Jiang Minghe looked at his younger brother, who hadn't been home for many years.

“This isn’t a solution. Your mother has realized her mistakes over the years. You should go back and see her.” Jiang Minghe couldn’t help but persuade Jiang Mingjing, thinking of his elderly mother.

Jiang Mingjing didn't really want to continue, but faced with his elder brother's relentless barrage of words, he said, "Our mother's greatest wish is for you to remarry and give her a grandson. Shouldn't you consider that, brother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm over sixty years old." Jiang Minghe stared at his younger brother Jiang Minghe with a dark face.

The bodyguards were quite surprised to hear their leader speak so bluntly.

A short while later, Shen Qiaoyue came downstairs with her child and a suitcase.

"Qiaoyue." Jiang Mingjing immediately came forward and hugged the child.

The guards next to them took their luggage.

"Dad," Shen Qiaoyue greeted politely.

When Jiang Jinyao saw her father, her expression was a little subtle. "Second Uncle?" she called out to someone else first.

Jiang Mingjing nodded slightly in response and said to Shen Qiaoyue, "Qiaoyue, this is your uncle, Yaoyao's father."

Shen Qiaoyue stared at Jiang Minghe and noticed that he did indeed resemble Jiang Mingjing somewhat.

"Uncle," Shen Qiaoyue greeted politely.

Jiang Minghe nodded slightly.

"Dad, this is Xiaoli. She's coming to Beijing to study for a month. I heard that Lu He and Aunt Wen are here too, is that right?" Shen Qiaoyue asked.

“Yes, I know.” Jiang Mingjing glanced at Xia Xiaoli and said, “Xiaoli, come back with us first. Lu He and Wen Ru will be here later, so Comrade Xiaoli can stay with them. Let’s eat first.”

They boarded the car separately, and Shen Qiaoyue took Da Nian from Jiang Jinyao's arms.

After getting on the bus, Xia Xiaoli and Shen Qiaoyue sat in the back, while Jiang Jingming sat in the front holding Xiao Nian.

"Xiao Nian, have you missed Grandpa?" Jiang Mingjing asked Xiao Nian happily.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Da Nian shouted, "Yay...yay..." to Jiang Mingjing.

The pronunciation isn't quite right; it's just the "yeah" sound.

Hearing the child's call, Jiang Mingjing happily turned around and looked at Danian, smiling, "Danian, are you calling Grandpa?"

“He’s been spending time with his brother lately, and that’s when he started calling him ‘Grandpa.’” Shen Qiaoyue was also hearing her child call him ‘Grandpa’ for the first time; she hadn’t taught him to do it.

"This is a good child." Jiang Mingjing was very happy, all his love for Da Nian was worthwhile.

“There’s not much to do at the factory lately, why don’t you stay here with the kids for a few more days?” Jiang Mingjing asked.

Jiang Mingjing hoped even more that Shen Qiaoyue could stay a few more days.

Shen Qiaoyue said, "I might only stay for a few days, and I can't take that many days off."

"Alright then!" Jiang Mingjing was disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. Shen Qiaoyue had her own work, and the children were still young and couldn't be separated from their mother.

In addition, Jiang Mingjing also has his own work and cannot see the children all the time.

We soon arrived at our accommodation. Inside was a courtyard, a kitchen, a living room, and several rooms.

This yard is quite large.

"Old Jiang, did you go and pick up your grandson?" At that moment, a woman cooking was right across from him. She saw Jiang Mingjing holding a child in his arms, with two girls behind him. One girl was holding a child, and the other girl was pretty and carrying a suitcase.

"Old Yu is cooking. Yes, the kids are here." Jiang Mingjing turned to Shen Qiaoyue and said, "Qiaoyue, Xiaoli, this is our neighbor, Aunt Yu."

"Hello, Aunt Yu," Shen Qiaoyue greeted.

Xia Xiaoli also greeted, "Hello, Aunt Yu."

"Hello, hello there." Yu Qingce stared at the two girls, they were so pretty. "Old Jiang, you're so lucky!"

I couldn't help but make a joke.

After searching for many years, the son was found. He was already married, and his wife had given birth to twins.

"I'm holding my granddaughter, Xiao Nian, and Qiao Yue is holding her brother, Dan Nian," Jiang Mingjing happily introduced to Yu Qingce.

"Oh my, this child is so well-fed and adorable!" Yu Qingce put down the basin in his hand, wiped the water off his hands and then came over to stare at Xiao Nian. "Old Xu, come out and take a look, isn't this a cute little baby?"

"Hey, I'm here." Xu Tiande replied instantly.

Jiang Mingjing handed the child to Yu Qingce and reminded him, "You can only hold her for a little while. I need to talk to my granddaughter properly."

"Who would fight you for it? Not even a hug is allowed!" Yu Qingce couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jiang Mingjing and complain.

Xiao Nian was being held by a stranger, her grandmother. She looked at her grandfather with fear in her eyes, pleading for his help.

"Look at you, you're usually so fierce, Xiao Nian is afraid of you!" Jiang Mingjing couldn't help but tease.

"Where did I go wrong!" Yu Qingce retorted to Jiang Mingjing, then gently said to Xiao Nian, "Xiaonian, I'm Grandma Yu!"

"Old Jiang, someone's here at your house?" Xu Tiande came out, dressed in a black suit and wearing glasses.

"Look at you, so slow every day!" Yu Qingce started complaining.

Xu Tiande was already used to it.

"Qiaoyue, Xiaoli, this is Uncle Xu," Jiang Mingjing introduced them.

"Hello, Uncle Xu!" Shen Qiaoyue and Xia Xiaoli greeted each other at the same time.

"Hello." Xu Tiande glanced at the bright-eyed girl.

"Oh my, she's so pretty and beautiful, let me hug her?" Xu Tiande took Da Nian from Shen Qiaoyue's arms.

"Qiaoyue, you two go inside and rest first. I'll play with the kids for them." Jiang Mingjing pointed to the house and said, "This room is prepared for you. There's food in the living room. Have something to eat first. I'll ask your Aunt Yu to make it for you."

Jiang Mingjing figured they hadn't eaten since they arrived in Beijing that morning, so he asked his old neighbor to make them something to eat.

"Okay, thank you, Dad. Thank you, Aunt Yu," Shen Qiaoyue said.

"You're too kind. Please eat quickly. It's still piping hot. I just cooked it not long ago. It's egg and lean pork congee," Yu Qingce said again.
