After the heavy rain during the summer harvest, the sun was shining brightly and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth. The birthdays of the Rourou brothers arrived quietly.

"Chengzi, let's go!" Xu Ningxue shouted at the gate of the yard.

They are now going to the big market. Since the beginning of the year, the small market at the entrance of the village below has become a big market that is bustling with people every morning and evening.

This change is a microcosm of the gradual recovery of the overall environment.

Although Song Chucheng was not in Beijing, the store and the house were all bought with the help of her sister, sister-in-law, second brother, and eldest brother Su...

"Here I am, sister-in-law. I'm right there." Song Chucheng said as he pushed his bicycle out.

When the aunt and sister-in-law were passing by the small square, they heard the mooing of Dabai and the others playing under the big tree, and they stopped them.

"Mom, mom, where are you going? I'll go with you." As soon as Moo Moo saw his mother, he ran over excitedly, his little face full of anticipation.

Song Chucheng got off his bicycle, bent down slightly, and gently stroked Moo Moo's hair. He smiled and said, "Mom and your aunt are going to the market to buy birthday presents for you and your brother."

"Then my brother, Damao and the others and I will wait here." When I heard the mooing of the people heading to the market, I knew I couldn't follow them.

If his mother didn't ride a bike, he would go with her.

"Well! When mom comes back later, she'll pass by here and call you. Now go play with your brothers!"

"Then I'll wait for mom!" Moo said and ran back to the big tree to play.

Seeing him walking away, Song Chucheng hurriedly rode her bicycle to catch up with her sister-in-law.

The market was bustling with people and various hawking sounds could be heard one after another.

There are a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, various handicrafts, mountain products and seafood products.

Song Chucheng and her sister-in-law were walking among the crowd, selecting gifts suitable for the children and dishes for tonight's birthday.

They walked to a small stall where there was an exquisite wooden train model, which was just right for the Rourou brothers.

"How about this?" Song Chucheng picked up the little train and turned to ask her sister-in-law.

Xu Ningxue nodded: "This is good, little boys love to play with this.

Seeing her sister-in-law taking out money, she walked forward.

Seeing a stall selling paintbrushes, he smiled and said to Song Chucheng who was walking over, "I'll go buy a set of paintbrushes and have them paint some colors tonight. That way, the little train will look even better."

Song Chucheng also thought it was feasible to let them play freely with the small train model, which would be both interesting and fun for them.

After buying what they needed, the aunt and sister-in-law took another walk around the market.

I bought some fresh ingredients and plan to make a sumptuous birthday dinner in the evening.

As the sun sets, the sky gradually turns golden.

Song Chucheng and her sister-in-law returned home with a great harvest.

When they passed the square, Song Chucheng didn't need to call out, the two brothers Rourou and Moo Moo came running over quickly.

The aunt and sister-in-law each took one with them, called Damao and rushed home. Dabao and Tiantian were almost done with school.

Just as Song Chucheng thought, as soon as they returned home, Dabao and his sister also arrived home.

Rourou Moo Moo was also very happy to see the birthday present and jumped up with excitement.

I went to the yard with my brothers and sisters and started assembling the train model and painting the little train. Their laughter filled the whole yard.

As night fell, her family, his eldest sister-in-law's family, and Bai Yaoting's family came together, and the three families gathered together for a meal.

After dinner, I don’t know when Su Mushang and Bai Yaoting bought the small lanterns and firecrackers.

The six little ones plus five others excitedly held small lanterns and set off firecrackers at the gate of the yard.

The adults sat at the gate of the yard and watched the little kids play.

Song Chucheng looked at all this, his heart filled with satisfaction and happiness.

She knows that no matter what the future holds, as long as the family is together, it will be the best time.

………

After National Day, red flags were still flying on the roads on both sides of their family compound.

The transfer documents for his elder brother were also officially issued.

The family also began to prepare to return to Beijing, and planned to go back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year, so that Dabao and Tiantian, brother and sister, could have a holiday and go to school in Beijing directly after the New Year.

Song Chucheng helped her sister-in-law pack her things. Looking at the packed luggage, she felt mixed emotions.

The two sisters-in-law were like real sisters. Song Chucheng was very reluctant to let her family go back to Beijing! However, as time passed, the day of separation finally arrived, and it was time for her eldest brother and his family to return to Beijing.

"Brother, let's all come to my house for dinner today. You have no more pots and pans at home anyway." Song Chucheng teased deliberately as he looked at his brother's empty house.

"Even if you don't tell me, I'm still going to eat at your place."

Song Jingcheng checked the kitchen and when he saw that it was clean, he closed the door.

Most of their packages had been mailed back, and there weren't many things to take away, so they had all been taken to his eldest sister's house in the morning.

He will sleep at his eldest sister's place at night. The house will be returned to the logistics department after inspection, so his eldest sister won't have to make a trip tomorrow.

Song Chucheng: “…”

Her elder brother no longer agrees with her...

"Brother, you have been transferred. Who will be promoted to your position?" Song Chucheng chatted with him while helping to check the house.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be my subordinate, but the possibility of airborne drop cannot be ruled out." Song Jingcheng said with a smile.

Song Chucheng nodded to show that he understood.

"Whenever positions like these become vacant, there are many family members who can't keep calm and make a lot of jokes."

Song Jingcheng felt a little reluctant when he thought about the past.

After checking and closing the doors and windows, the brother and sister took the iron pot, farm tools, and the house keys to return them to the logistics department.

During this evening meal, with the children playing and laughing nearby, the atmosphere didn't feel so depressing or sad.

the next day

Song Chucheng's family, plus five others, sent her eldest brother's family to the dock.

Uncle Song from Li City has already arranged for someone to pick them up.

Su Mushang and her elder brother took the luggage onto the boat first.

"Sister-in-law, call me when you arrive." Song Chucheng reluctantly held Dabao and Tiantian's hands.

Xu Ningxue also hugged Rourou one by one and mooed, "Rourou, moo, you must listen to your mother. When your aunt arrives in Beijing, she will make you some delicious roast duck."

"Well, aunt, we won't leave. We'll be obedient and don't want any ducks."

When Moo Moo saw that everything in his uncle's house was gone, he knew that his uncle would not come back, and tears started to fall.

Xu Ningxue's eyes turned red when Moo Moo said this.

"Moo, have you forgotten what your mother told you?"

Song Chucheng felt reluctant in her heart, but seeing Moo Moo crying, she could hardly hold back her tears.
