In one day, Qiu Sanmei brought her parents and children and moved from the Jiang family compound to the house on Wenli Road. Qiu Ye was confused, but he didn't dare to ask his daughter. The wound on her head hadn't healed yet. Besides, she must have had her own considerations and difficulties. He could only mutter to himself:

"We were living there just fine, so why did they move away just like that? Besides, there's no one left there, so if Xiao Jiang comes back someday, he won't be able to find us!"

At the end, she complained to her husband: "Your daughter is getting more and more opinionated. She's already a mother, but she still does whatever she wants. You've spoiled her!

"Is it all because of me? If you have the guts to say that to your daughter, why don't you tell her that she is my daughter when she makes you proud?

If anything good happens, it's all your fault, and if anything bad happens, it's all my fault?"

Wang Pandi threw the folded clothes onto the bed and was about to have a serious argument with Qiu Ye. This damn old man, when his daughter said she wanted to move, he couldn't bear to even say a word in front of her, and now he turned around and blamed himself.

"My third sister graduated early and refused to take the job assigned by the government. I don't know what she'll do next. My son-in-law is the same. He said he'd come back during winter and summer vacations, but he's been gone for a year and there's no news. I wonder how worried everyone in the family must be. I can't take care of these two children anymore. If it weren't for my little granddaughter, I wouldn't care about them at all."

Seeing his wife getting angry, Qiu Ye said with a look of embarrassment: "Look at you, why are you so anxious? If you have something to say, why can't you just say it nicely? You have to lose your temper. Can losing your temper solve the problem? Come on, come on, don't be angry. I'll talk to them later."

Wang Pandi glared at him: "Old man, you're the one who started the trouble. Why are you pretending to be a good guy in front of me?!"

Qiu Ye walked out with his hands behind his back, waving his hands as he walked: "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. I'll go see if my granddaughter is awake. You clean up yourself!"

"I think you just don't want to work!"

This old man is always like this, making people angry, and then he immediately backs off, making her feel like she can't breathe.

But it's okay. The old man is clumsy and he said he was helping, but in fact he was just making things more complicated. It would be better for her to clean it herself. Oh, I have only lived in Jiangzhou for two years. I didn't know I had so much luggage until I moved. When did you buy it?

The old lady was packing when Ling Shuang came in, lifting the door curtain. "Mom, let's sort it out later. Let's eat first. We're going back to northern Shaanxi tomorrow. We can deal with these things when we get back."

"Really? Leaving tomorrow? Hey, Third Sister, have you bought your tickets?"

"I've bought the tickets, Mom. I don't have much to do at school anymore, and I've already said hello to Qiuying's grandfather. Let's stay home for a while this time. There's no rush to come back."

That's great. Wang Pandi was so happy that she couldn't hide it. She put down the things in her hands and walked out. She had to tell the old man. The old man would definitely be very happy. After that, she had to think about what local specialties to bring back for her eldest daughter and second daughter.

Ling Shuang dealt with the matters at hand with great efficiency and decisiveness. He did not plan to stay in Jiangzhou for too long. His household registration had been transferred from the school's collective household registration and was currently registered in this newly purchased courtyard.

As for Jiang Bie Ming, there has been no news from him for such a long time. It is possible that he has seen the colorful world of Hong Kong and has fallen back into his old habit of abandoning his wife and daughter. If he returns to his old ways after being reborn, then she would be grateful, as it would save her a lot of trouble.

A few days later, the four of them returned to Qiujiadian. As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they felt the enthusiasm of the aunts and sisters.

"Pandi, you're back. Why didn't you come back with the educated youth Xiaojiang yesterday? Didn't you buy your train tickets in time?" Aunt Cuihua with a rough voice asked loudly to the old sisters whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Wang Pandi: "What? Xiao Jiang came back yesterday?" No way, she quickly looked at her daughter.

Ling Shuang frowned slightly and shook her head gently. She didn't know either.

Everyone was still chattering with her about life in the city, but Wang Pandi couldn't bear to stay with them: "Well, we just got back and have to clean up the house. The kids are tired too, so we'll leave first. Come back to my house another day and stay."

"Okay, okay, go back quickly. We'll find you later." The aunts urged them to go back quickly.

When they arrived at the door of their home and saw it was open, Wang Panddi thought that Xiao Jiang might have really returned. The old couple were very happy. Then they looked at their daughter. Hey, why wasn't she happy?

Ling Shuang gathered his luck and strode into the yard. There were several new clotheslines tied in the yard, with sheets and quilts hanging all over the yard. The aroma of food came from the kitchen.

Wang Pandi: "Xiao Jiang, my son-in-law, is so capable. How can we let him clean up?" In fact, she was very satisfied. If her son-in-law was willing to do housework, then her daughter would be the biggest beneficiary in the future. The couple would even quarrel much less than ordinary couples.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, are you back?" Qiu Ye called out happily.

There was a noise in the kitchen. Before anyone showed up, a voice came: "Hey, Dad, it's me."

Lin Yi came out of the kitchen with a happy look on his face: "You didn't expect that I got here before you did."

Wang Pandi: "Yeah, what's going on? Why did you come back first? Hehehe."

Lin Yi: "As soon as I got off the boat, I found a place to call my dad's office. He said you guys just returned to northern Shaanxi. I thought about it and took a train directly back to northern Shaanxi. Look, I even arrived a day earlier than you."

Both Qiu's father and mother laughed out loud: "So that's how it is."

Lin Yi stepped forward and took the sleeping daughter from Qiu's father's arms. The girl was sleeping so soundly that all the noises did not wake her up. He then called to his wife, "Third sister, go wash up first and prepare dinner. I'll put the daughter on the kang first."

Ling Shuang's right fist was stiff. What a good opportunity! He had been gone for a year without any news. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But now, considering the sheets in the yard and the hot food in the kitchen, she couldn't bring herself to slap him. Her parents probably wouldn't agree. Besides, she had to be cautious because he was holding his daughter.

What a pity!!!

After dinner, Lin Yi picked out what he could to tell his family about his school experience over the past year.

"Everything is fine, except that communication is too inconvenient. The phone in my dad's office can't receive international long-distance calls. I thought that before I leave, I should install a phone in our house and activate international long-distance service so that it will be convenient for us to contact each other in the future." Lin Yi said.

"If it's not too expensive, you can install one. You've been gone for more than a year and there's no news from you. We can't contact you if something happens at home." Old Man Qiu agreed.

"I sent two packages to your home, and there were letters inside the packages. You didn't receive them?" Lin Yi was surprised. Was the mail lost?

"What? No, what happened yesterday?" Old Man Qiu slapped his thigh. "What did you send? Is it important? I'll have to go to the post office to look for it later."

Lin Yi: "I'll go ask later. Don't worry. It's just a letter to let you know I'm safe. I was too busy with schoolwork during the winter break and couldn't make it back, so I thought I'd write to let you know so you don't worry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "pop".

Ling Shuang suddenly stood up and slapped Jiang Bieming in the face.
