Chen Jiaojiao was making a snowman with a group of children at the entrance of the village. When she saw Jiang Baige coming back, she happily ran over to pick her up.

"Sister, you are finally back. Do you know that I have missed you so much during this period of time?"

Jiang Baige saw that Chen Jiaojiao seemed to have grown taller, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to bring you something delicious?"

Chen Jiaojiao was a little embarrassed. She really wanted to eat more than she missed her sister.

She said sheepishly, "Uh, I want both."

Xiaohua and the other children also gathered around and shouted happily, "Sister, you're back."

Jiang Baige responded, "Well, come here, I brought you some candy."

She took out a bag of candy from her pocket and handed it to Chen Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, give it to them and share some."

When I saw a few kids sharing candy, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

He looked around and asked, "Jiaojiao, where's my dog? Why didn't I see Siyan playing with you guys?"

When Chen Jiaojiao heard her sister asking Siyan, she pouted unhappily.

"Don't ask. Four Eyes was taken to the Armed Forces Department by my brother."

"ah!"

Jiang Baige exclaimed in surprise, then asked, "Why are you taking him to the armed forces? Are you going to use Siyan as a police dog?"

Chen Jiaojiao shook her head. "I don't know! He said Siyan was smart and took him for training or something."

Chen Jiaojiao didn't quite understand. She had never heard of a police dog.

Jiang Baige thought, let Chen Jianguo take her away! If the training fails, he will be sent back to her.

Chen Jiaojiao was no longer interested in making a snowman. She grabbed a handful of candy for herself and gave the rest to Xiaohua and the others, then helped carry the bags back home.

Jiang Baige came back and went to Grandma Meng with her bag.

Chen Jiaojiao thought her sister didn't know about Grandma Meng's son, so she quickly caught up with her and told her that Grandma Meng's son had returned.

After hearing this, Jiang Baige asked, "Didn't they stay there?"

Chen Jiaojiao shook her head: "No? I heard that they wanted to take Grandma Meng away and let her go with them, but Grandma Meng didn't go."

As they were talking, they arrived at Grandma Meng's house.

The gate was open. Jiang Baige walked in and saw Grandma Meng digging in the yard.

He smiled and shouted, "Grandma Meng, I'm back."

When Grandma Meng heard the voice, she looked up and saw that it was Jiang Baige coming back.

He dropped his hoe and walked over. "Girl, you're back. How did you get here? Are you cold? Come inside and warm yourself by the fire."

Jiang Baige came back by bicycle. She put the bicycle into the space before entering the village. It was a bit cold now.

Chen Jiaojiao came in carrying a bundle and also called out, "Grandma Meng, there's me too."

Grandma Meng smiled and said, "Let's all go inside. It's cold outside."

After entering the house, Jiang Baige went to Grandma Meng's room. There was a kang in her room, and it was warm.

Jiang Baige asked, "Grandma Meng, have Brother Zhao Yong and his wife come back?"

Grandma Meng nodded: "Yes, I have been here."

Jiang Baige wondered why he left again, because he seemed to want to stay at first.

Then he asked, "Didn't they say anything?"

Grandma Meng sighed, "He said he found a job in the county town and will come back to pick me up after he settles down in the next few days."

As she spoke, she stared at Jiang Baige.

"Girl, you said everything in the county town is expensive. Should I go there?"

Jiang Baige sat down and said, "Go! Why not? If you go, you can help take care of the kids so they can go out to work."

Grandma Meng has been worrying about this matter these days. If she goes there, will it cause trouble for her son?

Jiang Baige thought that if Zhao Yong found a job in the county town, Grandma Meng would have to go and help, taking care of the children, cooking, etc., and the family would soon be able to live a good life.

Grandma Meng still had some concerns. She didn't know whether the house over there was big enough and whether it would be inconvenient for her son and daughter-in-law if she went there.

Jiang Baige saw that she looked unhappy, and then said, "Don't think too much! Things will work out when the time comes. There will always be a way."

She opened her luggage and took out the things she had brought. She asked her to put away the things for Grandma Meng and asked Chen Jiaojiao to take the things for the Chen family.

After I came back, I didn’t see Chen Jianguo. I went to Chen’s house for dinner, and then took a walk around the educated youth compound.

She also brought some food to the educated youth there and sent it to them to strengthen their relationship.

After all, we are all educated youth. If there is anything, we should discuss it together.

The days passed by peacefully and fulfillingly, and in a blink of an eye it was February, and the team started work.

Jiang Baige went to work, and her job was calculated by work points.

At noon, Jiang Baige went home for lunch. It felt very quiet, but she couldn't smell the fragrance of rice.

When I entered the house, I found two familiar people coming home.

Jiang Baige saw that it was Zhao Yong and Guo Xiaofang coming over, and quickly washed her hands.

Greeted: "Brother Zhao, Sister Xiaofang, you are here."

Guo Xiaofang smiled and said, "Sister, you're back."

Jiang Baige looked at her expression, which seemed a little embarrassed, and then looked at the people in the room.

Grandma Meng sat on the kang, holding her granddaughter in her arms, playing with her with love and affection.

Raise your hand and touch here, then touch there.

He said unhappily, "Look at your parents. Why did they bring you all the way here? You've suffered so much along the way."

She felt a little unhappy when she saw that her granddaughter seemed thinner this time.

The child was holding a cloth tiger in his hand and looking at it over and over again. When he heard his grandmother talking, he began to babble and follow her.

Jiang Baige noticed that the atmosphere in their family was quite subtle, and then asked, "Please sit down for a while. I'll go make dinner. If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner."

Guo Xiaofang reacted and quickly pulled her, "Come on, sister-in-law will cook with you."

She thought that she had no say here, so she should give the mother and son some space and let them discuss it themselves.

Zhao Yong sat aside and was about to speak, but when he saw them leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and went out to help chop wood.

He has been here several times, and every time he comes, he helps his mother with some work and carries some firewood.

Jiang Baige and Guo Xiaofang were cooking in the kitchen. Seeing that Guo Xiaofang was not as talkative as usual, she asked.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come here this time? You seem to have something on your mind."

Guo Xiaofang thought about it and seemed a little hesitant.

He sighed, then said.

"Sister, we came here today to take our mother to live with us, but she just doesn't want to and won't agree to go with us."

Jiang Baige asked, "Has Brother Zhao's work been finalized?"

Guo Xiaofang nodded: "Yes, his former boss helped find it. Although it's a bit hard, it's a job, right?" Jiang Baige thought it was great! Having a job is better than not having one.

Then he added, "House or something, is there a place to live?"

Guo Xiaofang swallowed, then said, "We've rented two rooms for now. They're a little small, but at least we can live in them. We'll move in when we find a better one."

"It's her mother. Please help persuade her to come with us! We really want to take her over and take care of her."
