After three days of train travel, Jiang Yan, Si Lu and their companions finally returned to the capital safely.
Si Qianjin was waiting outside the train station. As he waited, he muttered, "What's going on? Why hasn't he come out yet? This is too slow."
The old man has retired in recent years. He usually stays at home, grows flowers, plays with children, and leads a semi-retired life. He will only attend particularly important meetings, otherwise he is rarely seen.
He hasn't seen his two great-grandchildren for more than 20 days. He missed them so much that he sighed at home every day. He was so bored.
Knowing that the children would be back today, Si Qianjin called a taxi early and asked them to wait with him outside the train station. The longer he waited, the more anxious he became, not to mention how angry he was.
"Commander, trains are sometimes delayed, but it should be here soon. Please wait a little longer." The accompanying guards did not dare to say much, for fear of becoming Si Qianjin's punching bag.
Si Qianjin sighed, obviously dissatisfied with his answer.
How could he not know that the train was late? He had been waiting here for a whole day, how could he not know that it was almost there? Now what else could he do except wait?
Really, it's all nonsense, not a single word is on point.
At this moment, the guard suddenly shouted, "I'm back."
When Si Qianjin heard this, he perked up and immediately turned his head to look over. Through the window, he saw a family coming out of the station with large and small bags, and they hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.
From a distance, Jiang Yan and Si Lu saw the old man who was full of energy.
"Grandpa is here."
"Of course he misses his children. He wants to see his two great-grandchildren as soon as possible." Ning Yu said with a smile, "Now that he is old, he treats the younger generation like the apples of his eye. In the past half month, he must have missed his children a lot."
"That's right." Weng Shuxu also said: "Children are our hope."
Chao Chao and Mu Mu slept soundly in the car, but they felt much more energetic after getting off. The hustle and bustle in the station made the two little guys feel much more energetic. When they got out of the station and the breeze blew, the two children were completely awake.
"Oh, two babies."
Si Qianjin looked at the two children from afar and began to call them his darlings. His waist and legs no longer felt sore and he trotted over to the crowd.
"Oh, Dad, why don't you slow down a little." Ning Yu's eyes fell on the old man's guard. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it. It was hard for these children. Taking care of the old man was like taking care of an old naughty boy. Not only did he not respond to any persuasion, but he was also not allowed to say a word.
Poor thing.
"Chao Chao, Mu Mu, who am I?" Si Qianjin was afraid that the two children would not recognize him as their great-grandfather after being gone for ten days or half a month.
Chao Chao kept talking, "Great Grandpa, Great Grandpa is the best. Chao Chao misses him so much."
Oh, these words made the old man's heart melt.
Ning Yu and Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing. This girl has been sweet-talking since she was young. What will she be like when she grows up? Will she fool people so much that they don't know which way is which?
Mumu doesn't talk much, but she recognizes people. "It's great grandfather."
Si Qianjin said a few good words in a row, touched the child's hand, and then greeted Jiang Baitao and Weng Shuxu, "Oh, my dear relatives, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so busy talking to the children that I forgot about you. I shouldn't have done that."
He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook Jiang Baitao's hand.
"Oh, we are all in the same mood. We cherish the children of the next generation." Jiang Baitao said, "If I hadn't seen my child for such a long time, I would be worse than you. I might even cry."
The children were watching right in front of them, all smiling but saying nothing. It seemed like Jiang Baitao was truly capable of doing such a thing.
Si Qianjin took the initiative to talk to Li Yuejin and his mother, "This time it's all thanks to you, otherwise it would have been too much trouble to take care of these two little ones along the way."
"Uncle, this is a bit ridiculous. We are a family." Li Yuejin pointed at his son and said, "This is almost like being my uncle."
"Yes, we are all family, in-laws, hurry up, get in the car, let's go home."
No matter what Si Qianjin did, he couldn't let the young people take the car and let the old couple take the bus back. He waved his hand and said, "My in-laws and my mother-in-law will go back first. You can take the children and take the bus back. Hurry up, I'll wait for you at home."
Weng Shuxu declined again and again, "Why don't you let the children take the bus back? We are not in a hurry."
"Yes, let them take the kids back first. They've been on the bus for a few days anyway, so it's a good time to take a walk."
"Hey, young people, what's there to be afraid of if you suffer a little? Let's go home first. I'll prepare some good wine and delicious food to welcome you. That's it."
Si Qianjin was so happy and enthusiastic that the two elders of the Jiang family didn't want to pour cold water on him, so they just followed his lead, got in the jeep, and drove back to Si's house first.
Fortunately, the car could not hold many people, but it could hold luggage. Si Lu and Jiang Chuanjun stuffed several bags into the car, which reduced a lot of burden.
Several people took the bus home. Fortunately, there were not many people on the bus at this time, so Ning Yu and Li Yuejin found seats while holding their children.
Si Lu and Jiang Chuanjun stood beside the two children like two guardian gods. Both of them had icy faces and looked as if they didn't want anyone to approach them, which was quite intimidating.
A few people took another bus and finally returned to the compound.
I don’t know if it’s because they’ve returned to a familiar environment, but the two kids were particularly lively. After being held and pampered by their aunt and grandmother, they started to act up, wanting to search every corner of the house.
The women gathered together to cook, and the task of looking after the children fell on Si Lu and Jiang Chuanjun.
Although Jiang Chuanjun is not a talkative person, few people can match his attentiveness when taking care of children.
"Brother, you like children so much, when do you plan to get married?"
Jiang Chuanjun glanced at Si Lu with a very surprised expression, "You don't seem like such a gossipy person." Besides, how could you see that I like children?
Jiang Chuanjun didn't say the latter part, and it was obvious that he felt a little guilty.
He really likes children, but he didn't realize it before because he was young. Later, he came back from the battlefield injured and was in a daze. He didn't even know who he was, let alone like children.
But ever since Jiang Yan gave birth to Chao Chao and Mu Mu and he became an uncle, he seemed to feel a special feeling from the two little ones that made him very happy.
It was a subtle feeling that even he himself didn't know how to describe.
It was like seeing the hope of new life and feeling the continuation of bloodline.
Chaochao and Jiang Yan looked very similar when they were children. When he saw Chaochao, it was like seeing Jiang Yan when he was a child. He had an indescribable feeling.
"I'm just asking."
