After saying goodbye to Grandma Liu, Lu Xia and his friend saw many people from the neighborhood coming out when they left.

I guess he heard their conversation, but he didn't say hello, so he probably didn't know them.

But Lu Xia and the others thought that they would be neighbors in the future, so they smiled and nodded.

After coming out of the alley, they went to a nearby state-owned restaurant for dinner and ordered the braised pork that Lu Xia had been craving for. It turned out that the chefs in Beijing made the best ones.

After a hearty meal, the two took a car to the department store.

Because the third sister was working in logistics, the two of them didn't go looking for her and just started shopping.

Lu Xia had been to the department store before, but after a few years, the things sold there were more abundant.

The two did not buy New Year's goods at first, but instead walked around every floor, and finally one of them bought a set of clothes.

They haven't bought any new clothes in all these years since they went to the countryside. The few pieces of clothes they brought with them are enough. Even if they have patches on them later, they are still better than what the country people wear.

But I will go back to school after the New Year, so I have to pack well. So I bought some new belongings.

...

...

There was nothing else I wanted to buy. I guess grandpa and his family needed nothing, so I thought about it and bought some pastries to take back for everyone to eat. Finally, I bought some New Year's goods and went back.

It was already afternoon when I got home.

Grandpa is teaching Kang Kang how to play chess.

Lu Xia looked at him in surprise. How could Kang Kang understand at such a young age?

But looking at his serious expression, it seems that he is really studying hard.

But when he saw his parents coming back, he immediately lost the desire to continue and ran over to his mother for a hug with a smile.

Lu Xia held her son for a while, took out some pastries for him to eat, and then packed up New Year's goods with Jiang Junmo.

The Chinese New Year is coming the day after tomorrow, and we have to get things ready.

After dinner in the evening, when grandpa heard that the two of them had already been to the courtyard, he didn't say anything.

He just said: "If you want to renovate it, go find your grandfather Dong. He should know someone there."

Jiang Junmo nodded, "Then I'll ask Grandpa Dong some other day, and we'll move in after the renovation is completed."

Grandpa Jiang didn't say anything after hearing this, but just asked: "What are your plans, Kang Kang?"

Jiang Junmo did not hide anything and told them what they had thought before.

Grandpa Jiang frowned when he heard this. "What good kindergartens are there? Kang Kang can't get into the staff kindergarten, and the others are probably not formal either. It's better to go to the military district kindergarten. There are acquaintances there, and Kang Kang won't be bullied."

After hearing this, Lu Xia and the others thought about it and did not make a decision immediately.

"Let's go over there and take a look first. If there's nothing suitable, we can talk about it later."

Grandpa Jiang waved his hand and said, "Okay, you youngsters can make your own decisions, but please don't let us, Kang Kang, suffer any injustice."

Lu Xia and the others were speechless after hearing this. They were biological parents, so how could they possibly get along?

But I knew that grandpa was concerned about Kang Kang, so I didn’t say anything.

The next day, before the New Year, the two went to visit their grandmother's grave.

According to Jiang Junmo, they will be very busy after the New Year and there will be many people paying New Year's greetings, so they went there early.

Grandma's grave is in the suburbs. With the care of the Jiang family over the years, it seems to be well maintained. After Jiang Junmo brought Lu Xia over, he kowtowed three times to the tombstone.

"Grandma, Jun Mo is back, married, and has a child. You should be relieved, right? I will live a good life."

Lu Xia also said: "Hello grandma, I am Lu Xia, don't worry, we will live a good life in the future."

After that, the two talked for a few more words and left.

Jiang Junmo seemed to be in a good mood. Although he was touched by his grandmother's love for him, she passed away too early. He was too young at that time and didn't remember much. Now when he thought about it, only a vague shadow remained...
