Huo Tingzhou looked untidy with a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes, and was standing at the door with a lot of bags in his hands.
The old couple were both happy and distressed.
"What's wrong with you?" asked the old man.
People who don’t know would think that he had returned from fleeing.
Huo Tingzhou was used to reporting good news but not bad news. Actually, there was nothing serious, except that the border had been a bit unstable recently.
He had been flying night flights for more than half a month and had stayed up all night yesterday, so he looked a little haggard.
"Grandma, I'm fine. I'll just come back and rest for two more days."
The old man wanted to ask a few more questions, but Grandma Huo interrupted him.
"Oh, the child just came back, let him take a breath."
As she spoke, she poured some hot water into the basin, "Xiaozhou, wash your face with hot water first and relax."
"Granny, I can do it myself."
Grandma Huo didn't argue with him. After he washed his face, she told him all the things that had happened in their family in the past half month.
"By the way, this is the photo your eldest brother sent."
They just collected the photos yesterday morning. The eldest couple is very thoughtful.
Not only did he send them photos, he also sent them a lot of dried beef strips, milk lumps, and dried candied fruits.
Huo Tingzhou took the photo and took a look at it. There was the date the photo was taken in the lower right corner. It was June 1st last year.
Although the picture quality is a bit blurry, it is not difficult to see that the eldest brother's facial features are very similar to those of the Huo family.
I saw that the military uniform my eldest brother was wearing had two pockets on each side, and he was also wearing the leather shoes issued by the army.
Huo Tingzhou immediately had an idea in his mind.
This kind of clothes is also called cadre uniform in the military, and the lowest position is platoon leader.
My brother is old enough, so he is at least a deputy battalion-level cadre or above.
He didn't ask how his eldest brother was doing these years, because from the smiles of the four of them in the photo, it could be seen that his eldest brother should have been living a happy life these years.
"Grandma, did Big Brother say when he will be back?"
Grandma Huo nodded and said, "Your eldest brother and his family are now living in Xinjiang Province. They are too busy this year and will not come back."
"When they are free next year, their whole family will come to Beijing to visit relatives. Only then will our family be truly complete."
Speaking of this, Grandma Huo's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Huo Tingzhou was not very good at comforting people, so in the end it was the old man who spoke up.
"Come on, don't be sad."
"I cried for a long time yesterday. Do you want to cry again today?"
"I'm not feeling bad, I'm happy!" Grandma Huo said stubbornly.
Now the eldest brother's family has found one.
The third child has also moved out, and who knows, she might become a great-grandmother again next year.
And the grandchildren's wives at home get along very well, just like real sisters.
Grandma Huo was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.
Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to have a casual chat with her grandson about family matters.
But after a few minutes, he stole a few glances upstairs.
Grandma Huo smiled and said, "Don't look at it. Sisi is not home."
Not home?
Huo Tingzhou's expression paused.
It's only a quarter past eight. Normally, she would have just woken up at this time.
Even if I go out shopping, I won’t leave so early.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Grandma, where did she go?"
"She went to the Workers' Stadium to watch the game with your second sister-in-law."
"Watch the game?"
"Well, it's not all about watching the game. Your wife recently drew a template for an official database for the Public Security Bureau."
Grandma Huo didn't understand all this, but that didn't stop her from thinking her granddaughter-in-law was excellent.
When she sent Shuigu to the study yesterday, she took a special look at it. The eyes and mouth were drawn so beautifully!
Even she, who doesn't know how to paint, could recognize that this was so-and-so from the staff housing compound just by looking at the eyes.
Even this, my granddaughter-in-law said it was only half-finished.
Grandma Huo couldn't even imagine how amazing the effect of this product would be.
No wonder the fourth brother has been so excited recently and has been running to the old house all the time.
After she had explained the whole story, Grandma Huo continued.
"I heard from Sisi that the drawings of the elderly, children and female characters have already been completed, and now the only thing left to be completed is the male characters' genitals."
