In 1977, the college entrance examination was reinstated. Educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, Su Jinyan, passed the exam and was admitted to Peking University in one go. The origin...
Su Jinyan, with a heavy heart, took Zhao Yuanyi and the two children to the original owner's grandparents' house.
The old couple were a little confused when they saw the two adults and two children, but they were really happy to see Su Jinyan.
Grandma Xin hurried down to the ground, wearing cotton slippers, holding Su Jinyan's hand and asked, "Bao'er, why are you back? When did you come back?" Then she glanced at the man holding the child and the little pudding on the ground, and asked in confusion, "Bao'er, are you married? When did it happen?"
Su Jinyan smiled, grabbed Grandma Xin's dry hand and said happily: "Grandma, I was admitted to Peking University, so I came back."
"We've been married for four years. This is my husband, Zhao Yuanyi. He was admitted to Beijing Medical College and we're here together to study."
"The eldest, Zhao Qi, is three years old, and the youngest is eight months old."
Grandma and Grandpa Xin were obviously stunned. They didn't expect that their niece was married and her child was so big already.
Grandpa Xin frowned and asked in confusion: "When did they get married? How come Grandpa doesn't know about it?"
Su Jinyan smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I've been married for four years, and I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid that my parents and you would worry."
“Nonsense!”
Grandpa Xin scolded and the two children were frightened. Zhao Qi grabbed Zhao Yuanyi's pants and hid behind him. Zhao Hua also snuggled into his neck and dared not make a sound. Zhao Yuanyi's heart trembled, but his expression did not change. He stood calmly beside Su Jinyan.
Su Jinyan grinned and smiled ingratiatingly, and Grandpa Xin and Grandma Xin both looked at Zhao Yuanyi.
Zhao Yuanyi nodded to Grandpa Xin, "Grandpa." Then he looked at Grandma Xin and called out, "Grandma."
He is tall and handsome, but he looks cold and aloof. How can he be nice to their niece?
However, seeing that her niece was still fair and tender, with smooth skin and rosy cheeks, without any signs of wind and sun, and that she was happy and optimistic, and her temperament was much calmer, she became affirmative again.
This man should be nice to their niece.
Otherwise, how could an educated youth who went to the countryside maintain such good health?
"Okay, everyone sit on the kang."
Su Jinyan smiled and nodded, carried Zhao Qi onto the kang, took off his shoes, then took off her own shoes and sat on the kang. Zhao Yuanyi held the child and sat next to her on the edge of the kang.
Grandma Xin poured two glasses of water for the two of them, and kept blaming herself for not having anything to eat at home.
After not seeing each other for a few years, they looked much older than they remembered.
"Grandma, hurry up and sit on the kang. We won't eat. Let's chat for a while."
After chatting for a while, Grandpa Xin and Zhao Yuanyi chatted for a while and felt quite satisfied with this nephew's son-in-law.
Su Jinyan checked the time and said, "Yuanyi, I want to chat with my grandparents for a while. You go to the door and watch. If anyone comes in, tell them."
Zhao Yuanyi pursed his lips and nodded, said hello to Grandma Xin and Grandpa Xin, put Zhao Hua on the kang, and left the room.
As soon as Zhao Yuan left the house, the old couple sighed, "What will happen to this life?"
The revolution had just ended, but there were still a few people wearing armbands who did not understand the situation and were jumping around happily. We had to be on guard against them. Moreover, with Xin Huimin's previous behavior, Su Jinyan was always worried.
Anything that could make Xin Huimin change her expression must be no small matter.
She picked up the package she brought with her and took out three pork and green onion buns and two hard-boiled eggs. "Grandma, Grandpa, you guys hurry up and eat these first."
All these were decided right after they got home. Looking at the frail bodies of the two elders, I felt very sad.
Grandma Xin and Grandpa Xin were a perfect match. Grandpa Xin was the son of a wealthy businessman, while Grandma Xin came from a scholarly family. There was someone in their family who used to be an official in the court. They were real rich girls.
The days I am living now are a huge blow to me psychologically.
However, both of them are smart and can let go of things. In the past few years, they have been wearing patched clothes and eating the roughest meals. In addition, with the relationship with Xin Huimin, they can stay in Beijing safely.
Looking at the big, white and plump buns, Grandpa Xin frowned and said, "Yan'er, you don't need these..."
"Grandpa, you and grandma should eat quickly. I didn't take much."
The two elders paused, sighed, and without further ado, took the buns and started eating. Grandma Xin even broke off half for Zhao Qi, but Zhao Qi refused to eat it, so Grandma Xin started eating herself.
"Don't worry, it's all over, and it won't come back. Those things on the street these days are just grasshoppers after autumn, they won't be able to jump for many more days. Also, I got news that it won't take long, maybe half a year, maybe a year, for your houses to be returned to you."
As she spoke, she took out thirty yuan, twenty kilograms of grain coupons, and three kilograms of meat coupons from her pocket and handed them to grandma, "Grandma, hide these. If it's not convenient to keep them at home, you two can go to a restaurant secretly to eat. You can't brag about your health, right?"
"Also, the country's policies are constantly changing, and diplomacy is improving. It won't be long before people abroad can come back. I believe that it won't be long before my uncles can come back too, so please take care of yourselves."
The couple lived a low-key life and rarely went out except to buy things. There were no valuable items in their home, let alone a radio, so they had no idea what news was coming from the outside world.
Just to survive and see his two sons again, or hear the news that they are alive.
Hearing what Su Jinyan said, she was so excited that she almost choked. Grandma Xin quickly swallowed the bun and asked anxiously: "Yanyan, really? Is the news accurate?"
Su Jinyan nodded, "Yes, the news is accurate, so you must take good care of your health, and we will definitely reunite with uncle."
