Gu Qingbei went to the Northern Theater Command, which was farther away from the capital than his previous stay in the Longhu Military Region.
The family had been separated for so many years, so Jiang Mengxue discussed with Gu Qingbei and decided to bring the children over.
It’s impossible for children to have no sense of participation from childhood to adulthood.
Mobao and Ruirui are already in junior high school. Their academic performance has always been among the best. They do not need supervision and their self-control has always been very good.
In addition, they often practice martial arts with Gu Zhenhai's guards, so both of them have good physical fitness.
Gu Qingbei really wants Mo Bao to join the army, but Mo Bao doesn't have this idea for the time being.
On the contrary, he is very interested in languages and wants to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future. He has been working hard towards this goal.
However, he did plan to join the army for a few years of training, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not composed entirely of well-educated scholars.
When talking doesn't work, force is also a good solution. He won't allow himself to fall into a disadvantageous position under any circumstances.
As for Ruirui, he hasn't figured out what he wants to do in the future. He just wants to finish his studies first and think about the future later.
Jiang Mengxue has always supported the children's ideas and has no intention of interfering with their thoughts.
The situation was quite serious in the past two years. Apart from regular communication, the family had not seen each other for two or three years.
Gu Zhenhai followed the instructions of the leader closely, repeatedly lowered his presence, and followed closely behind the leader, spending those years smoothly.
He very much agrees with his grandchildren living with their parents, even though life in Beijing would be better and the educational resources would be better.
But now it is better to let the younger generations stay away from the center of power so that they can live more comfortably.
Gu Zhenjiang and Li Cuiying cannot leave their children now, so they must go with them.
Jiang Mengxue and Gu Qingbei made an appointment and sent their luggage directly to the army.
The two planned to go to Beijing first to pick up the children and reunite as a family.
It is easier for Jiang Mengxue to hand over her work, so she will arrive in the capital first.
Because no one was notified in advance, no one came to pick us up.
She is now very familiar with the routes in the capital and can take the bus directly to the vicinity of the courtyard.
Because I got off the train in the morning, there were still a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and I arrived home a little later than expected.
When we arrived at the alley near the courtyard, some people brought stools and sat at the gate to chat, some were picking vegetables, and some were mending shoe soles.
As the capital city, there are often outsiders, and you can even see foreigners in the Friendship Store.
So people don't have much guard against outsiders.
But everyone was still a little suspicious about Jiang Mengxue's appearance and kept staring at her.
Most outsiders live in guesthouses, and usually go in and out of work units or hotels. Ordinary people live around here, and the turnover of people is not large. Everyone has been neighbors for many years and knows each other.
An old lady who was sewing shoe soles on the roadside stopped Jiang Mengxue and asked casually, "Comrade, who are you looking for? I see you don't live in our area, do you?
The people around here are all decades old neighbors. If you want to talk to someone, there’s no one I don’t know.”
This group of women sit in the alley all day, gossiping about other people's affairs. They can stare at passers-by and nothing they carry with them can be hidden from their eyes.
Jiang Mengxue stopped and said, "I live at No. 69, but I don't come back often."
The old lady narrowed her eyes. Of course she knew who lived in Yard 69.
Military jeeps would often drive by. Although they didn't know what kind of high-ranking official he was, they knew that the person who could drive a jeep must be no ordinary person.
She was even more familiar with Zhang Tianzhu, who lived in the courtyard. He had lived here for more than ten or twenty years.
But this old guy is very tight-lipped. All we know is that he is from the army, has no family, and was arranged by his superiors to live here.
Many people were jealous of his yard before.
If you ask around here, you will find that every courtyard is home to several families. The larger three-courtyard courtyard can accommodate dozens of families with hundreds of people.
But no one was ever arranged to live in No. 69 from beginning to end.
It's not that no one has gone to make a fuss, but they have made it very clear that the owner of No. 69 has a property certificate and it is a private house. Even the street office has no right to arrange for people to live in it.
Later, everyone gave up the idea, and someone else proposed to rent a house inside, but was still rejected.
Therefore, Zhang Tianzhu has always been disliked by many people in this area. Who wouldn’t be jealous of him living alone in such a big house?
Until a few years ago, two elderly people suddenly came and moved in with a group of children.
As a female comrade, Li Cuiying easily got along well with this group of women.
Everyone then realized that the house was bought for someone's son's wedding, but it had been empty because the son and daughter-in-law were both in the army and had not returned.
Now that the children have grown up, they plan to stay in the capital to study, so they moved here.
The old lady understood it in her heart, but she saw that Jiang Mengxue was so young, could she be the daughter of that family?
"Who is Cuiying to you? Are you the daughter of the Gu family?
Lao Ma, is Lao Li at home today? It’s a pity that there’s no one at home when you come back.”
As long as they are acquaintances and not strangers with bad intentions, everyone's attitude is still very warm.
"My daughter, you haven't been home for many years, right? I'll take you to see if there's anyone home. If Lao Li isn't home, you can come to my house and sit for a while and have a drink of water.
Today is not the weekend, Lao Gu and Lao Zhang have gone to work, and the children should also be at school, but they will be back for lunch and will be back soon.
Before Jiang Mengxue could say anything, the old lady stood up enthusiastically, took her hand, and said she would take her home.
She hurriedly interrupted the other person: "Auntie, I can go back by myself without bothering you. I have the key to the house."
There was another young girl nearby, so how could this old lady let her go so easily?
The Gu family knew without hesitation that the conditions were excellent. If they could match the girl from the Gu family with their son's nephew, that would be a great thing.
"No trouble, no trouble. Auntie will go with you. I was just planning to ask Lao Li to mend the soles of my shoes with me."
"Yes, yes, yes. My parents just sent some vegetables from the countryside this morning. I was planning to pick some and send some to Lao Li. It's a good opportunity for me to go with you."
