The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
As soon as Shen Jiao got off the train, she saw Shen Nancheng holding up a sign to pick them up.
Liang Shumei stood on tiptoe beside Shen Nancheng and looked around, and did not forget to nag Shen Nancheng to hold the sign higher, for fear that her daughter and two little grandchildren would not be able to see them.
Ana Shen also stood on tiptoe obediently, stretched out his arms, and held the sign high.
When Chen Jiao saw the two of them, the corners of her lips unconsciously rose.
She pushed through the crowd and threw herself into Liang Shumei's arms, "Dad, Mom..."
Liang Shumei hugged her in surprise, "Hey, my dear daughter."
"Grandpa, grandma, Nana misses you!" Little Nana said crisply.
When Liang Shumei heard her granddaughter's soft and tender voice, she didn't even care about her own daughter. She pushed Chen Jiao away from her arms and hugged the little girl in her arms, "Oh, grandma's dear girl, grandma misses you too."
Shen Nancheng picked up Lu Lingyang and politely extended his hand to shake hands with Wu Guilan, "Hello, my dear, hello, I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
Wu Guilan had just got off the train. It was the first time she saw so many people, and such tall people, and she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
When she heard Ana Shen greet her, she quickly came back to her senses, shook hands with Ana Shen and said, “Hello, in-laws. This is the first time I’ve seen such a nice place in my life. I’m sorry to make you laugh.”
"My dear relative, what are you talking about? Not to mention you, I was also very surprised when I saw a train for the first time. I wondered how this tin box that looked like a big snake could run so fast." Liang Shumei came to the rescue with a smile.
Knowing that Wu Guilan and Shen Jiao were coming to the capital together, Shen Nancheng had already booked a table of food at the state-owned restaurant.
Thinking that eating out was somewhat inconvenient, they did not eat at the state-owned restaurant, but packed up the food and ate it at home.
Shen Nancheng also took out his collection of fine wine and drank and chatted with Lu Zhengxu and his son-in-law.
"Zhengxu, when you and Jiaojiao go to college, you can live in the dormitory. Have you considered how to arrange for your in-laws and two children?"
Chen Jiao had already discussed this matter with Lu Zhengxu on the way here.
"Dad, we were just thinking of asking you and mom for help with this. Over the years, Jiaojiao and I have saved some money, and we want to buy a house in the capital. Jiaojiao wants to buy a courtyard house. Do you have any connections?"
Ana Shen asked, and Lu Zhengxu spoke directly.
"Hey! Isn't this a coincidence?" Before Shen Nancheng could speak, Liang Shumei patted her thigh and said, "Didn't the son of Mr. Li from our unit be transferred to work in Shanghai?
He had just retired and was going to move there with his son. They probably wouldn't come back in the future, so he wanted to sell the old house passed down from their ancestors.
I have been to their house. Although it is just a small courtyard house, it is close to Tsinghua University, so it is convenient for Jiaojiao to go home to see the children after class. ”
The matter of buying the yard was decided.
The next day, Liang Shumei helped to make an appointment with the seller.
Chen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu took Wu Guilan and their two children to look at houses.
Just as Liang Shumei said, the house is not big. There is a main house at the entrance, a bedroom on the left, and two bedrooms on the right. On both sides of the yard, there is a kitchen on one side and a shower room and toilet on the other side.
Old Li likes to take care of flowers and plants. There is a grape trellis and various clay flower pots in the yard. However, in this season, the ice and snow have not melted, the world is desolate, and there is nothing to see.
But as winter passes and spring comes, this small courtyard should be full of vitality.
Chen Jiao finally bought this small courtyard of just over 100 square meters for 24,000 yuan.
On the day they officially moved, because they had no other acquaintances in the capital, they only invited Ana Shen and Liang Shumei to come over for dinner, which was considered a warm-pot wine party.
The food had just been served and Lu Zhengxu was about to ask everyone to take a seat when he heard a knock on the door.
Chen Jiao was a little confused. They had no other relatives or friends in the capital, and they hadn't invited anyone today. Why would someone come knocking on the door at this time?
Lu Zhengxu went to open the gate.
Chen Jiao only saw Lu Zhengxu standing at the gate of the courtyard. There was no movement for a long time. She couldn't help but walked out in confusion, "Zhengxu, who is it..."
Before she finished her words, she saw a tall figure in green military uniform standing outside the gate.
Shen Jiao's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed towards Shen Beixiao excitedly, "Brother, you're back!"
Shen Beixiao also naturally stretched out his arms to catch her.
But before the brother and sister hugged each other, Lu Zhengxu's strong and powerful arm forcefully wrapped around Chen Jiao's arm, holding the little woman tightly in his arms.
"Brother, please sit inside. Mom and Dad are here." Lu Zhengxu said to Shen Beixiao politely.
Shen Beixiao raised his eyebrows at Lu Zhengxu provocatively, and quickly and accurately grabbed Lu Zhengxu's wrist on Shen Jiao's shoulder with one hand.
The other hand immediately reached out to pull Shen Jiao to his side.
"Captain Lu, in the army, you were my superior, but now you are my brother-in-law! You stole my sister, and you don't allow her to get close to me. How can this be justified!"
Lu Zhengxu's expression remained unchanged, he just quickly blocked Shen Beixiao's attack, and said seriously: "Jiaojiao is my wife now. I am the only man who can get close to her."
Chen Jiao: ...
Why didn't she realize before that this man was so possessive?
She just wanted to have a pure gay hug with her brother, but this man became jealous.
“Jiaojiao!”
Lu Zhengxu and Shen Beixiao were fighting, but Chen Jiao heard a clear voice like the song of an oriole calling her from outside the door.
She raised her eyes and looked at the smiling girl outside in surprise, "Ming Yue!"
Chen Jiao no longer cared about the two jealous men and walked towards Han Mingyue in two steps.
She and Han Mingyue also established a deep revolutionary friendship with food as the bridge.
Han Mingyue hugged Shen Jiao's arm, and with her other hand, she took out a net bag like a magic trick, and said with a smile: "I didn't know you were warming up the pot until I arrived in the capital, and I didn't prepare any decent gifts for you, so I just bought something at the supply and marketing cooperative. Jiaojiao, don't despise it."
Chen Jiao saw at a glance that Han Mingyue's net bag contained malted milk and milk powder. These things were definitely very impressive gifts in this era.
"Mingyue, I'm very happy that you can come..." Chen Jiao said, and suddenly realized that Han Mingyue's attention and thoughts seemed not to be on her.
Moreover, Han Mingyue, this greedy girl, has not even asked her what delicious food she has made since she entered the door today.
Looking more closely, she found that Han Mingyue's eyes were clearly fixed on her brother.
Chen Jiao understood.
He nudged Han Mingyue with his elbow and said, "Mingyue, what do you think about what I told you last time?"
Han Mingyue retracted her gaze and looked at Chen Jiao in confusion, "Jiaojiao, what are you talking about? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
Shen Jiao glanced at Shen Beixiao, and then her gaze that fell back on Han Mingyue was a little more ambiguous, “It’s what I said last time, you can’t marry me, but you can marry into our family!”
