Mu Jingran also knew that it was wrong for him to feel sour in his heart, but sometimes people are like this, they know it is wrong, but they don’t necessarily think so in their hearts.
The Spring Festival of 1984 was just like any other year. It was not until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year that Mu Jingran and Sun Yuqi returned to Grandpa Chen with Mu Qingzhuo in their arms.
During the New Year holidays, Ye Mei returned to Grandma Ye's house. No matter what, she still needed to go home for the New Year. Although that was not her home, she had lived there for several years.
The New Year has passed and it is the end of February. Little Mu Qingzhuo has also turned one year old. Mu Jingran and Sun Yuqi discussed it and decided to have a meal at home as a family, and the ceremony of grabbing the week-old baby will be as simple as possible.
The dinner was held in Grandpa Chen's small restaurant. There weren't many people. Apart from the Mu family, there were also the Chen family and the Lin family. Chen Hao and Lin Muran were the godparents of little Mu Qingzhuo, so they naturally had to be present. You should know that Mu Qingzhuo's other name was Chen Liandi. As the name suggests, the Chen family hoped that Lin Muran would give birth to a son. Now Lin Muran is pregnant, but they don't know whether it's a boy or a girl.
After Mu Qingzhuo's birthday party, Lin Muren stayed in Beijing, while Chen Hao went to the south to busy himself with business. Now Chen Hao and Lin Muren have established their own trading company in the south, both doing business with foreigners. I heard that their business is quite big. Of course, it cannot be compared with later generations, but it is already quite big at this time.
It was April. Sun Yuqi had just returned home from get off work when she saw Ye Mei bringing Mu Qingzhuo, who had just learned to walk, back from Grandma Ye's house. Mu Qingzhuo's hands were dirty and she was washing his hands.
"What's wrong with this, it's so dirty?"
Ye Mei said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Sister Sun. Today I heard that my aunt was sick, so I took Qing Zhuo to see her. I wasn't paying attention for a while, so he overturned my aunt's bowl of rice. Fortunately, it was hot and the rice had been sitting there for a long time, otherwise it would have been burned."
As Ye Mei spoke, she lowered her head guiltily. Although Sun Yuqi knew that Ye Mei could not be blamed entirely after hearing this, she was still a little unhappy. That's what she said, but what would she do if the rice was hot? Fortunately, the rice was cold.
"Well, be careful next time. The child is still young and doesn't understand. We adults need to be more careful. If he really gets burned, it will be troublesome."
Sun Yuqi finally downplayed the matter. There was no point in holding on to it. She was still optimistic about Ye Mei. After a year, she was still very good at taking care of the child and was very attentive.
"Where's Grandpa? Isn't he home?"
Seeing that Sun Yuqi did not pursue the matter, Ye Mei breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard that Grandpa Chen was asked, she hurriedly said.
"Today, an old man came. He looked very wealthy. He said a few words to Grandpa, and then Grandpa left with him."
Sun Yuqi frowned and asked, "Did Grandpa leave any message when he left?"
Ye Mei shook her head. "No, I saw that Grandpa looked very calm. He didn't say anything. He just told me to keep an eye on Qing Zhuo."
Seeing that she couldn't find out anything, Sun Yuqi didn't ask any more questions. She just thought that it was an old friend of her grandfather who came.
But when her grandfather talked about it to her at night, Sun Yuqi sneered.
"Grandpa, tell them that I have no relationship with the Shen family in this life. If they come to visit you in the future, then I welcome them. If they come to visit you for the sake of their relationship with the Shen family, then it's better not to meet them again in the future."
Grandpa Chen sighed softly in his heart. He really didn't know whether he should persuade the child to be obedient.
"Well, Yuqi, what they said about allowing you to study abroad is a good choice in my opinion. But I can see that you won't choose to forgive them yet, so just follow your own heart!"
Sun Yuqi looked at her grandfather who had been persuaded and said helplessly.
"Grandpa, have you ever thought about how people like them would even notice my existence if there were no benefits? Ever since I can remember, they've never said a single nice word to me. They've basically either cursed me to die early or called me a burden. It doesn't make any difference whether you have such relatives or not. Now they want me to go abroad, I'm afraid they're trying to use me to gain some benefits!"
Sun Yuqi's words suddenly made Grandpa Chen wake up. He said that they had ignored him for the past ten years, but now they wanted Yuqi to go abroad to join them. Now it seems that they must have some hidden secrets and wanted Yuqi to go abroad in exchange for some benefits.
"Oh, Yuqi, you're more sober this time. Grandpa was obsessed with it. He thought that many people now choose to study abroad. Since there is an opportunity now, why not go out and take a look? I really didn't think it through. It's all Grandpa's fault for listening to their nonsense."
Seeing Grandpa Chen's self-blame, Sun Yuqi was not sad or angry. She comforted him because Grandpa was thinking about her.
"Grandpa, don't blame yourself. You're doing this for my own good. I can only say that you were taken advantage of by those despicable people. We should try to have as little contact with them as possible in the future. People like them were once capitalists, and they have too many twists and turns in their hearts. Grandpa, you should know that some businessmen have no bottom line. In their eyes, as long as there is profit to be made, they are willing to sell out their country."
"Of course, we can't say that all businessmen are like this, but there are still quite a few. The Shen family is one of them."
In the end, I don’t know what Grandpa Chen said to those people. Anyway, I haven’t seen those people come to the door for several days. Sun Yuqi once suspected that the matter was over, but I didn’t expect that they would come to the school to find Sun Yuqi.
When Sun Yuqi went downstairs and came to the playground, she saw an old man in his seventies or eighties standing on the playground. His hair was almost completely white, but he looked energetic.
Sun Yuqi also had a rough guess, but she still asked politely.
"Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xue Heng looked at Sun Yuqi. This was his sister's granddaughter, who looked very similar to his niece. Thinking back to the child's childhood, he had heard his son talk a lot about the child's days in the Shen family. To be honest, he wanted to go to the United States and beat up his sister.
"Hello, Yuqi, actually I'm your great uncle, your grandmother's brother, your mother's uncle, and your grandfather's cousin."
Sun Yuqi's face was very calm, she just smiled slightly and said.
"I wonder what you came to see me about?"
