After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuping's eyes were filled with tears, and her shoulders trembled with joy.
She suddenly remembered that she should tell her son Qiuyang the news, so she picked up the phone.
She wanted to tell her eldest son, their father, the good news that he would be home tonight, and to ask Qiuyang to come home to the dormitory area for dinner.
Jiang Yuping never dreamed that her husband, Qiu Jingwen, would come back.
The moment Qiu Jingwen went to the guesthouse to turn himself in, Jiang Yuping thought that her husband would never be able to come home again and that the family would never have the chance to be reunited.
The person who answered the phone was Su Xiaowei. Upon hearing that Jiang Yuping wanted to see Qiuyang, she said shyly:
"Auntie, Qiuyang went to work. I'll have him call you back in a bit."
Jiang Yuping recognized Su Xiaowei's voice and spoke into the microphone to her:
“Su Xiaowei, right? No need. Tell Qiuyang that his dad is coming home for dinner tonight, and that he can come to his dorm or home for dinner after work.”
Without thinking, Su Xiaowei blurted out:
"Aunt Jiang, may I—may Qiu Yang and I come to your house for a meal?"
As Su Xiaowei spoke, she playfully stuck out her tongue.
Her pretty face turned bright red with shyness.
But Jiang Yuping, who was far away in the infirmary, couldn't see it at all.
She waited anxiously for her future mother-in-law's reply.
Having already had physical contact with Qiu Yang in the Huai River—no, negative contact—Su Xiaowei had long regarded Qiu Yang as her future husband, and naturally, she also regarded Jiang Yuping as her future mother-in-law.
Jiang Yuping naturally knew that her son was dating Su Xiaowei.
But she had no idea that her son had had sex with his girlfriend in the Huai River a couple of days earlier. She never imagined that her son and Su Xiaowei would actually have an emotional escalation and perform some difficult moves in the water!
"Okay, then come to our house for dinner with Qiuyang after get off work."
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang."
Su Xiaowei happily hung up the phone and hummed the then-popular Soviet song "Katyusha".
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yuping greeted Zheng Haijiang, the director of the clinic, and went to the small market outside to buy fish, shrimp, vegetables, etc., filling the iron basket on the front of her bicycle to the brim.
Ignoring the sweltering heat, she rode her bike straight back to her home in the dormitory area.
It was the hottest season of summer, and Qiu Shou, Qiu Chan, and Qiu Shui were all at home, huddled in their rooms, reading under the electric fan.
In that era, it was considered a very good set of conditions and a very good life.
They hadn't expected their mother to come home early today, and one by one they came out of their bedrooms.
Autumn Harvest, seeing his mother carrying several delicious dishes, asked curiously:
"Mom, is Dad coming home?"
Jiang Yuping was a little surprised, feeling that her son was truly on the same wavelength.
She placed the dishes on the table, reached out and stroked her son's head, tears welling up in her eyes.
She knew in her heart that both her son and daughters were looking forward to their father coming home.
She just didn't expect that their father would actually be coming back today.
"Son, you're right. Your dad will be home soon and we'll have dinner together tonight."
As Jiang Yuping spoke, tears actually started falling.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shou jumped up and down, immediately hugging his mother's waist.
"Mom, you're not lying to me, are you? I even dreamt last night that Dad came home."
The autumn harvest is telling the truth.
Last night, he really dreamed of Qiu Jingwen. In the dream, his father went hunting in the mountains with him.
When Qiu Chan and Qiu Shui heard that their father was coming home, they were overjoyed and came up to hug Jiang Yuping.
The four of them hugged each other, their eyes brimming with tears. If this scene were made into a movie or TV series, it would definitely be very touching.
Next, the little ones joined together to help Jiang Yuping. Some picked vegetables, some washed vegetables, and Qiu Shui even helped his mother scale fish, kill eels, and gut turtles. They were no longer afraid of getting blood on their faces and noses.
A family of four is preparing dinner.
Qiu Yang had already climbed down from the high platform of a reactor in the workshop, and then carried his tools back to the break room.
Su Xiaowei quickly went to greet him and gently wiped the sweat off Qiu Yang's face with a small towel she had prepared beforehand.
In Su Xiaowei's mind, Qiu Yang was already her future husband, and she cared about him constantly.
As for Qiu Yang, he already had that kind of relationship with Wei Du, and he no longer rejected Su Xiaowei's enthusiasm and boldness as before.
You have to understand that in those days, when men and women were dating, they could only hold hands and hug in secret. If Su Xiaowei boldly wiped Qiu Yang's face in the workshop and others found out, they would say things like Su Xiaowei was promiscuous behind her back.
Su Xiaowei wiped away Qiu Yang's sweat, then opened a bottle of soda and held it to Qiu Yang's lips.
She said as she drank her soda while gazing at the autumn sun:
"Qiuyang, I have some really great news to tell you."
Su Xiaowei smiled broadly, her tone exaggerated.
Qiu Yang gulped down his soda, then stared into Su Xiaowei's eyes.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in Qiu Yang's eyes, Su Xiaowei was the most beautiful girl in the Hongqi Factory, without a doubt.
Some people even spread rumors behind her back that among the many beauties at the Hongqi Factory, Su Xiaowei was one, Qiu Shui, who had just graduated from junior high school and was unemployed at home, was another, and Yan Xiaoyan from the Political Department was yet another. However, Yan Xiaoyan was aloof and came from a big city, so most employees rarely got close to her.
Of course, this refers to the younger generation, or unmarried girls. Although Yan Xiaoyan is a bit older, she is still an unmarried young woman.
