Guan Wenru chatted with Guan Hongqi and Lin Wei.
Once the customer flow in the store had stabilized, she gave the supervisor a few instructions, telling them to keep an eye on the store, and then she couldn't wait to take Guan Hongqi and Lin Wei home.
Along the way, Guan Hongqi's emotions calmed down a lot, but he still stayed close to Guan Wenru, as if afraid that his sister would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
Lin Wei followed obediently a little behind, curiously observing the streets and alleys of the capital, occasionally exchanging a few words with Guan Wenru.
The girl's proper manners and confident speech greatly increased Guan Wenru's positive impression of her.
As they approached the familiar courtyard house, before even entering, they could hear the triplets and He Yanzhi talking inside.
Guan Wenru pushed open the courtyard gate and called out, "Dad, Mom! Yanzhi! Look who's back!"
Guan Yuanxiu, who was supervising He Sheng's calligraphy practice in the courtyard, looked up at the doorway upon hearing the sound, wearing his reading glasses.
Qin Yue, who was discussing dinner plans with He Yanzhi at the kitchen door, also turned around.
When their gazes fell upon the tall figure in old military uniform behind Guan Wenru, both of them were stunned!
"Red Flag?!" Guan Yuanxiu suddenly stood up, almost dropping the brush in his hand, his face filled with shock and surprise.
Qin Yue's eyes instantly reddened, and the vegetable basket in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
She didn't care about anything else, and almost stumbled as she rushed over, her voice trembling with disbelief, "Hongqi? You little rascal, you're finally back!"
"Dad! Mom!" Guan Hongqi's emotions, which he had just suppressed, surged up again when he saw his parents.
He rushed forward and caught his mother as she lunged at him. "Mom! I'm back!"
Qin Yue hugged her son tightly, as if he were a lost treasure that had been found again. Tears streamed down her face, and her hands trembled as she stroked his shoulders. "You've lost weight...and gotten so tanned...you must have suffered a lot in the army...It's good that you're back...it's good that you're back..."
Guan Yuanxiu also came over. Although he tried his best to maintain his composure as a father, his slightly trembling hands and moist eyes betrayed his inner excitement.
Sure enough, as people get older, they just want their children around!
They were no exception!
Guan Yuanxiu patted his son's shoulder heavily, his voice choked with emotion, "Good lad! You've gotten stronger again!!"
At this moment, He Yanzhi and his triplets also came over.
"Uncle!" the three boys called out in unison, their words sweet and charming.
Guan Hongqi released his mother and then hugged He Yanzhi tightly, exclaiming, "Brother-in-law!"
He Yanzhi chuckled and punched his shoulder lightly, "It's good that you're back! Your sister talks about you every day."
Guan Hongqi nodded, then patted each of the triplets' heads. "Yiyi, Qiqi, Shengsheng? You've all grown so tall! I almost didn't recognize you!"
The family was so caught up in the excitement and joy of their reunion that they momentarily forgot there was someone standing at the door.
Guan Wenru was the most thoughtful. She interrupted the touching scene with a smile, "Alright, alright, Dad, Mom, stop looking at your son. Hongqi didn't come back alone this time."
Only after she reminded them did everyone notice Lin Wei, who had been standing quietly at the gate of the courtyard, looking at them with a gentle smile on her face.
Guan Hongqi suddenly realized what was happening, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face!
He quickly walked over and carefully pulled Lin Wei in front of his parents, then took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Mom, brother-in-law, sister, let me formally introduce you."
He turned to look at Lin Wei, his eyes gentle. "This is Lin Wei, a nurse at our division hospital. We...we're dating."
After saying that, he introduced Lin Wei, "Lin Wei, this is my dad, my mom, my brother-in-law, and my sister. You know these three little rascals are my nephews."
Lin Wei immediately stood up straight and bowed slightly to Guan Yuanxiu and Qin Yue, "Hello, Uncle! Hello, Aunt! Hello, Brother-in-law! I am Lin Wei."
She smiled and nodded to the triplets, "Hello!"
Qin Yue and Guan Yuanxiu, who had just been laughing and crying, suddenly froze, their gazes shifting from their son to Lin Wei.
Qin Yue quickly wiped away her tears and looked Lin Wei up and down.
The girl was pretty, with a tall and straight figure and clear eyes; she was clearly a good girl.
Especially that military uniform, which naturally made her feel more favorably toward him.
Guan Yuanxiu also pushed up his glasses, forcing a kind smile onto his serious face.
Qin Yue was the first to react, and quickly stepped forward to take Lin Wei's hand, her tone both surprised and delighted:
"Oh! Good, good! Comrade Lin Wei, right? Come in, come in! Don't stand at the door! We've been so happy for you that we've neglected you! You must have had a long journey."
Her warm and considerate attitude instantly eased Lin Wei's tension and embarrassment.
Guan Yuanxiu quickly added, "Yes, yes, come inside, come inside. Hongqi, you really are something, why didn't you say so beforehand?"
Guan Hongqi scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I wanted to give you a surprise..."
The family then ushered Guan Hongqi and Lin Wei into the house.
Qin Yue held Lin Wei's hand and asked her all sorts of questions.
Guan Yuanxiu and He Yanzhi surrounded Guan Hongqi, asking about the situation of the troops.
The triplets curiously observed their beautiful aunt who had suddenly appeared.
Guan Wenru felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey as she watched this heartwarming scene.
I wonder how things are going with my older brother. Have they gotten divorced yet? If they have, have they found him a new wife?
......
The family enjoyed a lively and heartwarming reunion dinner.
Guan Wenru quickly tidied up an empty guest room in the west wing, laid out clean bedding, and smiled at Lin Wei, "You can stay in this room tonight. See if you need anything and let me know. Don't be shy."
