The train went on and on all the way back to their city.
Fortunately, Qin Shuo is here. Although little Qin Zhi is naughty, he doesn't dare to go too far.
Xu Jiaojiao slept most of the way during this trip, and she was still in good spirits when she got off the bus.
"Jiaojiao! Here!"
Before leaving the train station, Xu Jiaojiao heard Ding Xiujing's voice from afar.
Following the sound, who else could be waiting outside the train station if not Qin Chao and his wife?
"Hidekim!"
They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, almost two years, and Xu Jiaojiao was extremely excited.
As soon as I got out of the station, Ding Xiujing hugged me!
"Good job Xu Jiaojiao, you finally decided to come back!"
He still had that rude look on his face, but Xu Jiaojiao smiled.
I remember how she always liked to argue with me when I first came here.
"It's only been a little over a year. If you don't know, people would think I haven't been back for most of my life." Xu Jiaojiao teased.
After hearing what she said, Ding Xiujin felt a little embarrassed. She patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be so talkative. Mom misses you so much. Come back with us."
If the bicycle had been big enough to accommodate everyone, her mother-in-law would have come over to pick her up herself.
It was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Qin Chao's factory was also on holiday.
"Everyone in our brigade is building a new house now. My eldest brother and his wife have also built a brick house."
Along the way, Ding Xiujing talked to her about what happened in the team.
Erni had already said all this in the letter, but Xu Jiaojiao didn't show any impatience at all.
While listening, he asked about her recent situation.
"Your second brother has a good job in the city and has a salary. Our lives have become much better."
The only bad thing is that the couple are separated.
Only then did Ding Xiujing realize how difficult it was for Xu Jiaojiao to be alone at home.
It turns out that not everyone can be a military wife.
"But he said he found me a temporary job, and I'll go to the city with him after the New Year."
Speaking of this, Ding Xiujing couldn't help but smile.
Who wouldn’t say she’s lucky now? It’s okay for a man to be a worker, he can also help himself find a job.
"Big brother is now in charge of purchasing herbs for the team, and the factory is paying him a salary."
Even Xu Jiaojiao's sisters from her mother's side had arrangements made.
All this is thanks to her prescription.
I heard that the demand was so great that their factory expanded its production capacity several times.
Otherwise, Qin Chao wouldn't have found a job so easily.
Xu Jiaojiao hasn't told her parents about her return yet, so they probably don't know, otherwise her eldest sister would definitely come to pick her up.
The couple brought their two children with them, and little Qin Xiu was held in Ding Xiujing's arms and placed in front of him.
And Xu Jiaojiao also put Xiao Qinzhi in front of herself.
There were two packages hanging on Qin Shuo's car and one on Qin Chao's.
The two grown men rode their bicycles towards home.
It was still early at this time, and a few people were chatting while riding their bikes at a leisurely pace.
In between, there were also the curious voices of the babies.
The Red Flag Battalion was much colder than the troops, but fortunately Xu Jiaojiao was well prepared.
Before getting off the bus, dress yourself and your babies warmly.
But even so, her hands still felt a little cold.
Finally, she simply inserted her hand into the gap between the baby and Qin Shuo.
This made me feel much warmer.
The baby Qinzhi was sandwiched in the middle, but his father was like a big stove, so he didn't feel cold at all.
To go home from the city, you have to pass through the county town.
As soon as she arrived in the county town, Xu Jiaojiao saw the team’s tractor.
There were two rows of people sitting neatly in the car.
"Jiaojiao!" Chen Qiaolian waved at her excitedly.
Through the hats that were almost covering their faces, Xu Jiaojiao realized that the people in the car were all educated youth in the team.
There were two people I didn’t recognize, probably they had just arrived.
Seeing those familiar faces, Xu Jiaojiao also waved excitedly.
"You guys went home for the New Year?"
"Yes! Come home for the New Year! We'll come and play with you after the New Year!"
The tractor continued to move forward with a rumbling sound, and Xu Jiaojiao only vaguely heard this sentence.
Putting her hands to her mouth to make a trumpet shape, she also shouted at her: "Okay! Then I'll wait for you!"
Qin Shuo's vacation is one month, while the educated youth are on vacation until August 15th, so she can still wait for them to come back.
The bicycle continued to ride steadily.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Xu Jiaojiao was still stunned by the scene before her when she entered the village.
Sure enough, Ding Xiufang was not exaggerating.
Half of the team built new houses.
The neatly arranged tiled houses look clean and tidy.
It's time to get off work.
Two bicycles were seen heading towards the village.
Take a closer look...
"Qin Laosan and his wife are back!" someone shouted.
These words were like thunder, and the whole place exploded in an instant!
People gathered around the bicycle.
"Jiaojiao, you're back!"
"Oh, my dear niece, you are finally back!"
"Jiaojiao, bring your Qin Shuo to your aunt's house for dinner tonight!"
…
Everyone was talking at once, their excitement evident in their expressions.
Drowned in the passionate voice, Xu Jiaojiao was confused.
In the end, it was the team leader Liu Guoqing who arrived and rescued them.
But the captain's reaction was not much better than that of other villagers.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Come to Uncle Liu's house for dinner tonight. I'll ask your aunt to kill a chicken."
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
After finally rejecting the enthusiastic captain, they were able to get away and go home.
First, I went to my own courtyard.
When she opened the door, Xu Jiaojiao was stunned by the scene inside.
She thought the yard must have been deserted since she hadn't been back for so long.
Who would have thought that it was not only not abandoned, but also kept tidy.
"My mother comes over often. She says that a house won't decay easily unless someone lives in it."
Ding Xiujing explained it to her without mentioning that she had also helped clean up the house inside and out a few days ago.
When they arrived at a new place, the babies instantly became energetic again, and as soon as they got off the ground, they started running like crazy.
It is inconvenient to bring the dog when traveling by car, so Fu Fu was entrusted to Fang Xuetong for care.
Zhao Kai, who had long been coveting her black wolfhound, was extremely happy!
The babies had just run around when they heard an excited voice coming from the door.
"Hey, grandma's darling grandchildren, you're finally back!"
Wang Fengmei, who got the news, finally rushed to the courtyard.
When I saw the two chubby little guys in the yard, I was immediately excited.
At this time, all sons and daughters-in-law have to stand aside.
Fortunately, the twins were not afraid of strangers and under Xu Jiaojiao's guidance, they also started calling her grandma.
Wang Fengmei was so happy that she kept calling him a good grandson and said, "Come here, grandma will give you some candy."
It is said that grandparents are closer to their grandchildren, so it is normal for old people to like their grandchildren. Xu Jiaojiao did not stop them from eating candy. As long as they brushed their teeth in the morning and evening, it was fine.
"Thank you, grandma."
Xiao Qinxiu said politely, successfully drawing Wang Fengmei's attention away from Xiao Qinzhi.
After looking at this one and then that one, Wang Fengmei didn't know which one she liked more.
Finally, he picked them up one by one!
