Hearing Feng Zhiyi say this, Shen Yaqin didn't insist. She said with a reluctant expression, "Alright then, come back whenever you have time. I'll see how things are at the end of the year. If your dad and grandpa aren't busy, I'll take the train to Jincheng to spend the New Year with you."
Feng Zhiyi replied with a smile, "Okay, Mom, if you can come to Jincheng for the New Year, our family will be so lively this year!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Mr. Lu and Grandpa Huo, raised her lips slightly, and then said to Mrs. Lu, "Of course, if you could invite Dad and Grandpa along, we could have a happy and complete New Year together!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu immediately replied, "I should be fine. There's less work at the end of the year, so taking a few days off should be possible."
"Then let's settle this matter! At the end of the year, our family will go directly to Jincheng Military Region to celebrate the Spring Festival."
Old Master Huo made the final decision!
This year's Spring Festival will be spent at the Jincheng Military Region!
"Very good!"
Just as Feng Zhiyi was about to speak, Shen Yaqin excitedly chimed in. She clapped her hands, her eyes practically overflowing with joy, and exclaimed with delight, "I'll buy lots of New Year's goods to take with me then."
"After all, this is our family's first reunion year, so we must make it as lively as possible."
As soon as Lu's mother finished speaking, Lu Lingxiao had already loaded all the luggage into the car.
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhi quickly said goodbye to Lu's parents and Grandpa Huo, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, please take care of yourselves. Ling Xiao and I will head back now."
"When you come over at the end of the year, call Ling Xiao a day in advance and we'll pick you up at the station."
Grandpa Huo waved his hand reluctantly, "Alright, alright, go ahead, go quickly..."
After saying that, he smiled and said to Grandma Feng, "Grandma, you must come to our house often in the future. When your father-in-law returns to China, your whole family can come to Beijing to stay for a while. Anyway, we have plenty of rooms."
"Okay, sure! It will come."
Grandma Feng smiled and nodded. She looked at Grandpa Huo and the others and warmly invited them, "When you have time, come to Jiangnan for a visit. Then my husband and I will take you to see the scenery of Jiangnan and eat our special delicacies."
"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time!"
Grandpa Huo immediately agreed, his smile deepening.
Just before getting into the car, Grandma Feng waved to them again before turning around and getting into the car.
During the few days she stayed at the Lu family's house, everyone, from Old Master Huo to Shen Yaqin and Lu Yunhai, was very welcoming to her. Even Ye Xiuqing, Old Master Xie, and others were very warm and polite to her.
Undeniably, the granddaughter has found a wonderful in-law family; the whole family is harmonious and the atmosphere is excellent!
"Mom, I'm leaving now. Remember to miss me!"
Feng Zhiyi opened her arms and hugged Lu's mother, then hugged Lu's mother's arm and acted coquettishly. Her heart felt empty and filled with reluctance!
But there's nothing we can do.
She had to go back to Jincheng with Lu Lingxiao because she didn't feel comfortable letting him carry out the mission alone, after all...
"Okay, I'll think about it, I definitely will!"
Shen Yaqin was overjoyed, nodding vigorously, her eyes practically disappearing with happiness.
She raised her hand and touched Feng Zhiyi's hair, her gentle tone filled with deep reluctance, "If you hadn't insisted on going back, I really would have liked to keep you here. But it's okay, there's still more than a month until the New Year, then we'll be able to see each other again."
"Alright, get in and let's go. It's getting late, and you need to get to the airport to catch your flight. If you're late and miss your boarding time, that won't be good."
As she spoke, she patted Feng Zhiyi on the shoulder, urging her to get in the car and leave quickly, otherwise she would miss her flight and have to rebook, which would be time-consuming, laborious, and very troublesome.
Feng Zhiyi hummed in agreement, then turned and got into the car.
Lu Lingxiao also said a few words to his parents and grandfather, then sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and asked Xiao Zhao to drive to the airport.
Just as Xiao Zhao started the car to leave, Ye Xiuqing called him back.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Ye Xiuqing called out as she jogged over.
Reaching the car, she looked up at Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi inside, took a few quick breaths, and said, "Lingxiao, Zhiyi, I just went to the store and bought some food. Here, take this with you and eat it back in Jincheng."
After saying that, he quickly stuffed the package in his hand into the car.
A very big one.
And it's incredibly heavy!
"Godmother, what's wrong...?"
Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but facepalm as she looked at the large package Ye Xiuqing had stuffed in. She said helplessly, "Yesterday afternoon, you already brought a bag of food to our house, saying that I should take it back to eat. You also bought a few sets of clothes for each of us."
"Why is there another big bag now?"
Her godmother is treating her like her own daughter!
Yesterday is yesterday, now is now.
Ye Xiuqing replied with a smile, not at all bothered by the few hundred yuan she had spent, "Besides, the things have already been bought, so there's no way to return them. You can only take them back and eat them slowly."
"Alright, go ahead and go. When you have time, bring the kids back to visit us."
Feng Zhiyi nodded. "I will, godmother. Please take care of yourselves, godfather and godfather. Call me when you finish the tea and wine and I'll send you more."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Ye Xiuqing nodded happily and waved to them.
Then, at Lu Lingxiao's prompting, Xiao Zhao started the car and headed out of the No. 2 compound.
At the gate of the compound, they ran into Grandpa Xie, who had just finished a meeting and had rushed back to see them off. So Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi stopped again to say goodbye to Grandpa Xie, and then Xiao Zhao drove the jeep and sped towards the airport in the suburbs of Beijing.
As for Xiao Bin and his group, they took the three little ones and went to the airport first. They are currently waiting in the airport waiting room.
On the way, Feng Zhiyi took Grandma Feng's arm and said, "Grandma, are Grandpa and the others going back to China soon? By the time they get back, it will be almost the end of the year. Why don't you stay in Jincheng for the New Year?"
"It will definitely be very lively with both of our families celebrating the New Year together!"
Grandma Feng naturally wanted to spend the New Year with her granddaughter.
After all, for the past ten years or so, the granddaughter had been all alone, with no relatives to care for her and no elders to give her New Year's red envelopes or anything like that.
She patted her granddaughter's head affectionately and said, "When your grandfather comes back, I'll talk to him and see what he thinks. If he also agrees to stay in Jincheng for the New Year, then we'll spend the New Year in Jincheng before going back to Jiangnan."
