I was specially recruited into the army and am a soldier, so I have to abide by the rules of the army.
This time I came back to send the children back. Tsinghua and Peking University have been transferred to Beijing. It will take at least a few years for them to stay at home for a while.
There are some things that the old woman doesn’t quite understand, and even if she is explained, she still can’t understand. Jiang Mengxue only gave a few simple explanations.
Just as Jiang's mother was about to say something else, the sound of a car bell rang again outside.
It was Jiang Dachun's three brothers and Jiang Dongmei's family who returned.
Even Jiang Yukun and Jiang Dongmei's Xiaowei asked for leave from school.
Jiang Mengxue's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that they would all come back today.
As soon as Jiang Dongmei got out of the car, she put the child on the ground and ran towards Jiang Mengxue.
"You damn girl, you've been gone for several years. I was so worried about you after not seeing you for so many years."
Jiang Mengxue patted her sister who was lying on her shoulder, feeling touched.
No matter how far she goes, there will always be someone thinking of her.
Jiang Dongmei is the shortest in the family, about 1.6 meters tall, much shorter than her two younger sisters.
At this moment, it didn't feel awkward at all for Jiang Mengxue to hold her in her arms.
"How did you know I was going home today? I was thinking about when to ask you guys to come back for dinner."
Jiang Dongmei lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "As soon as you came back yesterday, my younger sister called the office of our supply and marketing cooperative. I went to tell my elder brother and others that you were coming back last night, so they all took leave and came back. My younger sister said they would also be back at noon.
You guys have finally come back, so we have to come even if you have to take a leave."
Jiang's mother was happy. It was rare for her sons, daughters and their families to all come back. People who hadn't been able to get together for several years were all back today.
She hurried out to call back Jiang's father and several daughters-in-law.
"Xiao Kun, go find your brothers and sisters. We won't be cutting grass for the pigs today. Tell them to come back quickly."
Jiang Dongmei's youngest daughter, Chen Xiaoyun, is about half a year younger than Mobao. The little girl looked at Zhizhi's army green suspender skirt with envy, and pestered her mother to make one for her.
In fact, this skirt was made by Jiang Mengxue based on the drawings she drew herself according to several other skirt styles.
She wore a short-sleeved shirt inside and a small suspender skirt outside, which was just knee-length.
Jiang Mengxue also made several pieces from the same series for her, including a military green work dress skirt and military green overalls, paired with a black belt, which looked simple and cool.
Young girls all love to be pretty, so when Jiang Mengxue was making clothes, she specially made a set for Chen Xiaoyun as a gift for her.
"Xiaoyun likes it. Second Auntie also made several pieces for you. I'll go get them for you."
Jiang Mengxue prepared gifts for everyone in the family, especially the children.
I made overalls for my nieces, not little skirts, as it is not convenient for them to wear skirts at home.
"And some pen ink for Xiaokun and Pingping. Study hard and try to get into technical secondary school."
"Thank you, Second Aunt,"
Xiao Kun was very happy. He had used his fountain pen for several years and the nib was forked.
He had seen this pen at the supply and marketing cooperative. It was a Hero brand pen, priced at four yuan and fifty cents each. Even the pocket money he had saved for several months was not enough to buy it.
I didn’t expect that my second aunt would buy it for him when she came back.
Pingping also likes it very much, and there is also the pencil case that Jiang Mengxue gave her. The opening is sealed with a magnet, which is very beautiful.
Several sisters-in-law also came back at this time. They went to weed in the cornfield today. When they heard the news, they rushed back. On the way back, they happened to meet Jiang's mother who came to look for them.
"My eldest and second aunts are back today. When did my second aunt come back? Oh, these kids must be my second aunt's quadruplets, right?"
Mrs. Jiang is holding a little girl in her arms, who is over two years old.
The Jiang family has a lot of younger children, and with the addition of Jiang Mengxue's sisters, the yard becomes small when such a large family gathers together.
Feeding so many people at noon is a big project. Not to mention whether the pot at home is big enough, there are not even enough bowls and chopsticks.
Everyone was chatting in the yard while preparing lunch.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work at noon, Jiang Mengxue and Gu Qingbei prepared to take the children to Gu Meifeng's house.
He took a few packets of snacks and two cans of food, and called the children who were playing in the yard to go out.
Gu Meifeng had just arrived home and was cooking with her daughter-in-law.
Gu Meifeng's youngest children are twins, a boy and a girl, Jiang Wenxiu and Jiang Wenxuan.
Jiang Wenxuan just got married last year. Now his wife is more than six months pregnant, so Gong Meifeng lets her cook at home so she doesn't have to go out to the fields.
As for Wenxiu, the marriage arranged for her was also with a soldier.
I was originally worried about what to do if the other party was unwilling to acknowledge this marriage.
Unexpectedly, the young man took advantage of the few days of vacation to rush back, quickly married Wenxiu, and took her to join the army.
Gu Meifeng had just found out that Gu Qingbei and the others had returned, and was planning to go see them after finishing her housework, but she didn't expect them to arrive first.
"Xiaobei and Xiaoxue, come in quickly! I just heard you guys came to the Taoyuan Brigade. When did you come back? Are your uncle and aunt back too?"
Jiang Mengxue saw a woman with a big belly in the room whom she didn't recognize.
Gu Meifeng introduced: "This is Xiaojuan, Wen Zhang's wife.
This is the cousin and his wife from Wen Zhang's third uncle's family. Xiao Xue is also your sister-in-law Li Fen's sister-in-law, and she also married into our Jiang family."
Li Fen is Jiang Mengxue's sister-in-law, and Xiaojuan is quite familiar with her.
She had heard others talk about this cousin and his wife many times, and people in the Jiang family talked about them even more often.
"Cousin, please take a seat."
