The next afternoon, Wang Yisan arrived, looking exhausted but still radiant.
Her son Chen Xiong is already a college student and no longer likes to follow her around, so he didn't come.
As soon as she arrived, Shen Xiaobei suddenly felt that the compound became much more lively.
In the evening, Rao Junxia's family hosted a dinner for both families and invited them to have a good time together at her house.
Some of the three oldest children have already started working, some are college students working during the summer vacation, and some are busy preparing for the college entrance examination in advance. All of them are not here, only the youngest one is here.
This made the six parents feel quite emotional.
The children are all grown up, and they are really not that young anymore!
I remember when the three military wives lived in the compound, they were all in their twenties and looked very young.
Now, except Shen Xiaobei is about to turn 40.
Rao Junxia, Wang Yishan, and three other men were all in their forties and were truly middle-aged people.
Time flies by so fast.
Fortunately, time is not a butcher's knife for the three families.
Instead, it is a hand-carving knife that carves them into something more elegant and graceful, and everyone's life is moving in a better direction.
They all live passionately and full of hope.
This is probably because birds of a feather flock together.
Whoever you are close to and what kind of friends you make, gradually, you will become a person with similar characteristics to him or her.
However, this lively and steamy party still had some regrets for Shen Xiaobei.
Because her godmother Lin Aili and Teacher Guan had retired a few years ago, moved out of the compound, and went to other cities to enjoy their grandchildren.
So she couldn't see them when she got together with her old friends this time.
She has always been grateful for the care and help her godmother and Teacher Guan had given her. Now that she is revisiting the old place, she misses them even more.
However, reunions in life are always limited, while separation is the norm.
Thinking of this, when everyone was chatting happily, Shen Xiaobei couldn't help but suggest: "Sister Junxia, Shanshan, let's go to the county town to take a photo together sometime. The three of us don't have a photo together yet!"
"Okay, okay, let's take a few more photos together then!"
"Mom, we want to go too!"
"Mom, I want to go too!"
"Xiaobei, let's go together!"
As soon as Shen Xiaobei's proposal was made, it immediately attracted a lot of responses.
The two women and three children all said they wanted to go, and then the three grown men also said they wanted to go with a smile.
Afterwards, everyone happily reached a consensus and went.
The three families took a group photo.
Because of the suggestion to take a photo, everyone had a more enjoyable dinner while eating and chatting.
One afternoon a few days later, a group of three grown men went to a photo studio in the county town.
This photo studio was where Shen Xiaobei and Duan Xichuan had taken Shui En and Mu En to take photos before.
Although it had been many years, as soon as he walked in, Shen Xiaobei still felt a sense of familiarity and nostalgia.
The owner of the photo studio was still the same owner from that year. He took a look and recognized Shen Xiaobei and Duan Xichuan at once. He also remembered what he said that year, that he would give them a discount next time they came.
Six adults and three children took many photos under the enthusiastic and professional photography of the boss.
There were photos of three women taking photos together, three men taking photos together, and large group photos of adults and children taking photos together.
The only regret is that the five older children, Da Ni and Er Ni from Rao Junxia's family, Chen Xiong from Wang Yishan's family, and Mu En and Shui En from Shen Xiaobei's family, were not present today.
The three families could not take a truly complete group photo.
Everyone made an appointment together that whenever there was a chance in the future, they would take a truly complete group photo to commemorate the lifelong friendship between the three families.
During the more than one month he stayed in the compound, without being disturbed by various work, Shen Xiaobei lived a very relaxed and comfortable life.
During the day, she either hangs out with Wang Yishan to cook various delicious foods, or takes Tianen and Yueen on a self-driving tour to visit the surrounding scenic spots.
In the evening, if Duan Xichuan came back late, she would calm down and write some manuscripts.
We came back early, and after dinner the family went out for a walk to look at the stars and the moon in the sky.
When the children fell asleep, they hugged each other, enjoying love and chatting about cheesy love words.
What is happiness?
Shen Xiaobei thought, this is probably the case!
But happy and beautiful times always pass by quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the summer vacation was coming to an end and school was about to start. She had to take Tian'en and Yue'en to say goodbye to Duan Xichuan, Wang Yishan and Rao Junxia.
When he sent the three of them to the station, Duan Xichuan wanted to share something important with them when he saw the reluctant look in her and her two daughters' eyes.
However, after thinking about it, he finally stopped talking.
Less than a month after returning to Beijing, Shen Xiaobei suddenly received a call from Wang Yishan while having lunch in the courtyard one day at noon.
She just said "Hello".
Wang Yishan said excitedly on the other end of the phone: "You bitch, you have to be responsible for me!"
"I'm responsible for you? What happened? Did any of your businesses in the East China Sea lose a lot of money?"
"You're the one who's losing the most! It's all your fault. You asked me to accompany you to visit relatives during the summer vacation, and now you've gotten me into big trouble. You have to be responsible for me!"
"What's the big trouble? I don't understand what you are saying."
"Hmph, bitch, wuwuwu... I'm pregnant!"
