Not long after Zhong Wenrui's incident, Sun Yuqi was completely on vacation. After waiting for a few days until Mu Qingzhuo and his brother were on vacation, Sun Yuqi took them to Shenzhen. A few days ago, she received news that Grandpa Chen was ill, which made Sun Yuqi very worried. If the two children were not still young, she would have taken a plane directly to go there. Fortunately, Grandpa Chen called her personally later and said that he was much better and it was just a common cold.
Sun Yuqi got off the plane with her two children. A driver was already waiting outside in a car. The three of them got in the car without any delay and went straight to Grandpa Chen's residence in Shenzhen. This was the house that Grandpa Chen bought a few years ago. The area was not very large, only about 100 square meters, but it was enough for living.
Sun Yuqi got out of the car and said a few words to the driver. Then the two children trotted upstairs to visit Grandpa Chen. Thinking that Grandpa Chen was old, Sun Yuqi didn't let him run back and forth between Beijing and Shenzhen over the years. She took the two children to run back and forth. Anyway, they all traveled by plane now, which was much more convenient.
When Sun Yuqi entered the house, she heard Grandpa Chen's loud laughter. Sun Yuqi raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. Hearing her grandfather's laughter, she felt relieved. Grandpa is now over 80 years old. Her uncle Xue Heng passed away last year. Now Grandpa has no one to talk to in the south. Sun Yuqi thought about talking to her grandfather and going back to Beijing. No matter what, she would have her grandpa and the others there, so she wouldn't be too lonely.
The arrival of his granddaughter and great-grandson made Grandpa Chen feel much better, and his body, which was almost recovered, recovered even faster. Because it was already January 10th of 1998, and the Chinese New Year was only ten days away, Sun Yuqi did not stay long. On September 20th, she brought her two children to escort Grandpa Chen back to Beijing.
Grandpa Chen originally didn't plan to return to Beijing, but Sun Yuqi was really worried about him. She could only feel at ease if she kept him by her side. Grandpa Chen had no choice but to return to Beijing with his granddaughter. However, this time he did not return to the old courtyard, but went to the small second floor bought by Sun Yuqi.
Grandpa Chen looked at the courtyard and sighed.
"Alas, it's been over ten years since I left for the South. Now I'm back. This is the house your Grandpa Lan sold you back then, right?"
Sun Yuqi helped Grandpa Chen walk towards the yard.
"Well, I haven't lived here since I recognized my relatives. A few years ago, I wanted to move back to your original house, but then I thought that courtyard would be more suitable for opening a private restaurant. Later, my great-grandfather's apprentice, Uncle Zhao Huaijin, came to live with you, so I kept him and opened a private restaurant in that courtyard. Unexpectedly, the business is doing very well. I'll take you there to see it someday."
Grandpa Chen was not angry when he heard that his granddaughter had opened a private restaurant in his former courtyard. Instead, he became interested and smiled.
"Okay, rest at home for two days, then we'll go over and take a look. Yuqi, you should know that grandpa's wish was to open a restaurant in that yard, but the situation didn't work out at first. Later, the policy was relaxed, and I went to the south at your uncle's invitation. In fact, grandpa's wish has always been to open his own private restaurant, to run it exclusively, to open it when he wants to, and to close it when he doesn't want to. He doesn't have to look at anyone's eyes and act freely. Now I didn't expect that you will open it, which can be regarded as grandpa's wish coming true."
While the two were talking, the two children had already moved the luggage in and arranged Grandpa Chen's room. Looking at the two busy figures, Grandpa Chen smiled and said.
"Yuqi, Grandpa feels that the best thing he has done in his life is to accept you as his granddaughter. This will make his later years so fulfilling."
Sun Yuqi helped Grandpa Chen sit down and said, "Look at what you said, Grandpa. If you weren't here, I wouldn't be able to live the good life I have today. Let's not blame each other."
On January 27th, Mu Jingran returned to Beijing, and the family was reunited. After breakfast on New Year's Eve, Mu Jingran and Sun Yuqi accompanied Grandpa Chen to Grandpa Mu's courtyard. The two families reunited and celebrated the Spring Festival in a lively atmosphere.
Time soon came to the new century.
In March of 2001, Grandpa Chen passed away at the age of 91. Sun Yuqi was very sad. She didn't expect that Grandpa Chen, who had always been in good health, would leave so soon. Grandpa Chen left silently. The night before, Mu Jingran gave him a bath and helped him to sleep, but when she woke him up the next morning to call him to get up for dinner, she found that he was gone. His face was very peaceful, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After spending several days burying Grandpa Chen, Sun Yuqi was in a depressed mood for a long time. Mu Jingran and the two children were with her the whole time, which made her realize that she had gone too far. Although she was sad about her grandfather's death, she could not let it affect the affairs of her husband and children.
Mu Jingran has now entered the central work and is even busier. Sometimes he can't go home for several days. His son Mu Qingzhuo has been involved in business matters with his uncle Zhong Wenrui since last winter. Sun Yuqi originally wanted to not rush him into business matters, but in the end she couldn't persuade her son, and with Mu Jingran's support, Sun Yuqi didn't interfere.
In the autumn of 2001, Sun Yuqi had just returned home from get off work when she saw Mu Qingzhuo sitting in the yard. Sun Yuqi was very curious.
"Haven't you been at the company all this time? And not going to school?"
Mu Qingzhuo put down the book in his hand and said, "Mom, I have almost learned all the knowledge I need for college. Although I just got admitted to college, you should know that my uncle has been giving me special lessons over the years. I have almost learned all the knowledge about economic management in college. Now my uncle wants me to do more internships in the company, and he said that I must take over the company when I am 22 years old. He is almost too busy.
Do you think it will be okay if I don’t study hard to run a company?”
Sun Yuqi remained noncommittal. "This is the letter of commitment you voluntarily signed with your uncle. You can't blame me, your mother!"
Mu Qingzhuo looked at his mother helplessly.
"I know, but I was young at that time, so I was cheated by my uncle. Didn't you find out about it later, and you didn't try to return it to me?"
Sun Yuqi looked at Mu Qingzhuo with a motherly smile.
"Son, did I ever tell you that you'll have to pay the price for your impulsive behavior back then? You have to take care of your own business!"
After saying that, Sun Yuqi ignored Mu Qingzhuo and went straight into the house.
