After several days of twists and turns, Yu Yin and her group finally set foot on Shanghai soil. Three adults and four children—this journey was truly not easy!
This return is a source of great joy for Lu Shurui and Lu Shuqi!
Home, they're finally back.
For Yin, she wants to build her own home, create her own career, and start a new chapter in her life in this unfamiliar land.
"Shurui, over here!" My second brother-in-law waved excitedly, his slightly chubby body round and adorable!
Seeing her brother-in-law waving, Lu Shurui and the others protected the child and squeezed through; there were just too many people.
"Second brother-in-law, have you been waiting for a while?" Yu Yin asked hurriedly. Every time she came back, she had to trouble her second brother-in-law, and she was very grateful.
"Not long, the train wasn't delayed today. Let's get on the train first, we'll talk about it when we get home, the kids must be cold." Cheng Qian was also very excited, all three of them got into Shanghai University!
That's a very prestigious university in Shanghai; the future looks very promising!
"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll have to trouble you again to help me book a large room at the guesthouse." Lu Shurui and his family don't know if they'll get a house yet, so they'll stay at the guesthouse for now; it'll be more convenient.
"Everything's booked. Your second sister said you specifically want to stay at the guesthouse." Cheng Qian knew that Shu Rui and his wife didn't like to take advantage of others or trouble them too much. They were the closest to them.
“We have a large family, so it’s inconvenient to live in anyone’s house.” Lu Shurui knew that their housing conditions in Shanghai were really small.
When the car arrived at the guesthouse, Lu Shurui and the others put their luggage in the reserved room, locked the door, and went to their second sister's house for dinner.
"Brother, brother-in-law, I'm going home now. My parents are getting impatient." Shuqi was eager to go home, not going to her second cousin's house.
"I understand, go back quickly, your third aunt and the others are getting impatient." The second brother-in-law urged him to go back, as they were waiting at home.
Lu Shuqi headed towards her own home, while Yu Yin and the others went to her second sister's house, which was not far away.
"Yu Yin, be safe and sound, come quickly and slowly..." Second Sister stood at the door, excitedly calling out, tears streaming down her face. Ten years! Her Shu Rui had been gone for over ten years, and finally he was back!
"Second sister, slow down, be careful of your belly." Yu Yin called out hurriedly when she saw her second sister's protruding belly.
The group walked quickly and entered the second sister's house.
Inside the house, Zhuangzhuang and Duoduo peeked out. They couldn't remember what their uncle looked like, nor could they remember Ping An. They only knew that their aunt often sent them delicious food, something their mother always talked about.
"Uncle and Aunt are here, say hello," the second sister said to the children.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt! Hello, younger brother and sister!" Zhuangzhuang is a few years older than Ping An and An.
Duoduo is younger than Pingping and An'an, but two years older than Kuaikuai and Manman. She is a little shy and hides behind her older brother.
"Hello, brother, hello, sister, I am Lu Xiangwan, the future commander. Do you want to be my soldiers?" An'an is a social butterfly, not shy at all, and is recruiting soldiers everywhere.
"Wow, our An'an is amazing!" Her second aunt was overjoyed. What a wonderful personality.
"Hello, brother, hello, sister. This is my younger brother Lu Xiangyang, and my younger sister Lu Xiangnuan." Pingping still remembered Zhuangzhuang, so she introduced Kuaikuai and Manman, who were visiting for the first time.
The children ran off to play somewhere else, and the adults could finally have a quiet chat.
"Second sister, how many months pregnant are you? How did you get pregnant?" Yu Yin was startled when she saw her second sister's belly.
"It happened unexpectedly, just over four months. Everyone was talking about the college entrance exams back then, so I didn't tell you, afraid it would distract you." My second sister was also helpless; they weren't planning on having any more children, two were enough, but she never expected this…
"Now that we're closer, you'd better let us know if anything happens." Yu Yin and her second sister get along well; at this age, she's considered an elderly mother these days.
"Second brother-in-law, do you have a suitable house?" Lu Shurui was quite anxious about this, as his family of six found it inconvenient to live anywhere.
Yu Yin also turned to look at her second brother-in-law, hoping to hear good news.
"I found a few, listen to them and see how you choose. Housing in Shanghai has always been tight, and this is only because of the exoneration; otherwise, it would be really hard to find." Ever since receiving Lu Shurui's call, my second brother-in-law has used all his connections to find just a few properties.
“One is for rent, two rooms, neither of them very big. Another is a large studio apartment for sale, only about 30 square meters. There’s also an old-style apartment building, two bedrooms and a living room, also for sale, over 60 square meters. The last one is a self-built two-story detached house with a small yard, but it’s quite dilapidated and hasn’t been lived in for a long time, so the price isn’t low.” Due to time constraints, my brother-in-law found these few properties.
"Brother-in-law, are all the houses near our school? Are the property rights of the houses for sale clear?" Yu Yin still preferred to buy her own house, so she could live there with peace of mind.
She doesn't want to rent a house unless absolutely necessary.
"They're all near your school, with clear property rights, and can be transferred." My brother-in-law only hires people he knows well; otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law. Let's go take a look tomorrow. It would be best to buy one, otherwise moving back and forth would be too much trouble." Yu Yin thought that she should settle on a house first, and then think about other things.
“Okay, I’ll go with you to see them one by one tomorrow. We can’t rush it.” The second brother-in-law understood them. With four children and no one owning their own house, they always felt uneasy.
"Let's eat first, the children are hungry. We'll talk after they've eaten," the second sister interrupted them, arranging for the meal, as the children were all hungry.
They washed their hands and ate. It was their first time eating here, and Kuai Kuai and Man Man quite liked it. They ate with great relish.
My second sister used to think her house was quite spacious, but now that there are more people, it feels quite crowded.
