An Hua arranged He Congyun in the guest room and prepared new bed sheets, quilts and toiletries.

This time Dongdong brought He Congyun back specially, and planned to stay for two more days.

An Hua made some plans and took He Congyun to play around the city, and also visited An Bohuai and Qiu Shushen.

He Congyun not only had a great time, but also accepted many gifts.

Xiao Zheng looked through the almanac and finally decided on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Dongdong and He Congyun Xin agreed, and then returned to the capital.

An Hua thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, why don't we go to the capital to spend the holiday together? Otherwise, the children will have to run back and forth, which is very troublesome."

Xiao Zheng had no objection.

An Hua told the children in advance and went to Beijing at the end of December, bringing Xiao Yuer and his father with her, as well as Yang Tao.

Yuanyuan came back from the Northeast and had been living in the courtyard for a few days. When she saw her mother, she came up to her, happily hugged her and acted coquettishly with her, and also acted coquettishly with her grandparents.

An Hua patted her back lovingly, "You're so old, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat."

Yuanyuan hummed and said, "No matter how old I am, I am still my daughter."

Qiu Shushen agreed with her, "That's right, no matter how old he is, he is still our little baby."

"By the way, Chen Ai Tu asked about you during the summer vacation. He was disappointed when he knew you didn't have a vacation." When An Hua mentioned Chen Ai Tu, she deliberately observed Yuan Yuan's expression.

Yuanyuan didn't care at all, "He's just idle! He calls me every now and then. I don't know where he has so much time. Doesn't he study?"

Yuanyuan felt puzzled and troubled, and felt that Chen Aituo had disturbed her study and life.

She is no longer the playful Commander Xiao from her childhood. She is now moving towards the goal of becoming a real commander!

An Hua didn't continue talking about Shen Ai Tuo. She looked around and asked, "Where are Tuan Tuan and Song Yi?"

Dong Dong replied: "Tuan Tuan is at school and will be here soon. Song Yi...it seems like something happened to him and he went to deal with it."

An Hua asked with concern: "What happened to him?"

Dong Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not completely sure either. Let him tell you when he comes back."

An Hua stopped asking questions.

She hadn't been to the courtyard for a long time, and it had grown a lot. There was a red plum tree in the backyard, blooming in the cold winter weather, adding a touch of vitality.

"Who planted these plum blossoms?" An Bohuai praised, "They are planted very well."

Dongdong accepted the compliment with a smile, "Grandpa, I planted it."

Amber stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "Dongdong is the most like me among the children. He even inherited my talent for growing flowers."

An Hua nodded silently. What An Bohuai said was not wrong. Except for not being as timid and naive as An Bohuai, Dongdong was quite similar to his grandfather in many aspects, such as his talent for languages.

An Bohuai liked the current appearance of the courtyard house and wanted to stay there for a while longer, but then he thought about leaving so many treasures at home unattended, so he gave up the idea and decided to go back after finishing the children's banquet.

Tuantuan arrived not long after, but Song Yi didn't come back until it was almost dark.

An Hua asked him directly, "Song Yi, are you in trouble? If you can't solve it, tell me and I'll help you deal with it."

Song Yi glanced at Dong Dong and said with a smile: "It is a bit troublesome, but I have solved it. Aunt An, there is something I have not told you..."

An Hua looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

Song Yi said apprehensively, "I met a man before, Xie Gao, he was an educated youth who returned to the city, he didn't have a proper job, so he did some business on his own, I...I secretly invested in him."

Song Yi thought he would see a disappointed expression on Aunt An's face, because the general value concept at that time still believed that doing business was dishonorable. He had such a respectable job, but he lowered his status to get involved with profiteers, which was too disappointing. Aunt An must think that he had to be as self-disciplined as his elder brother and focus on his official career to be a successful young man.
