Madam Lu insisted on returning to City A with Jiang Yue, and no matter what Jiang Yue said, she wouldn't listen this time.
In the end, Jiang Yue had no choice but to agree.
But unexpectedly, when we had dinner that evening, Grandpa Lu said, "Yueyue, your mother has already told us that you want to go back to City A to arrange a job. We all support your decision."
Your grandma and I retired a long time ago, and we've got nothing else to do anyway. We've decided that we'll go back to City A with you. Once you've settled things in City A, we'll go back to Kyoto afterwards.
Lu Yan nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law, you'll have to arrange things for the TV series. You're my boss now, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Jiang Yue: "..."
The next day, Jiang Yue had Cheng Wei buy the train tickets back to City A.
They took the night train and bought soft sleeper tickets.
However, the temperature has dropped these past few days, and there is no heating on the trains, so it's really cold. Also, hot water isn't available 24 hours a day on trains at this time of year.
Before boarding the train, Mrs. Lu had prepared a hot water bottle for Jiang Yue. Once on the train, Mrs. Lu noticed that Jiang Yue was walking much slower and knew that her knees were bothering her again. She was heartbroken.
After Jiang Yue lay down on the bed, she quickly covered Jiang Yue with two layers of blankets, which were specially bought by Madam Lu and Cheng Wei before they got on the bus.
After covering Jiang Yue with the blankets, Madam Lu took out the hot water bottle and placed it on Jiang Yue's lap.
"Yueyue, lie down for a while, Mom will go and get two kettles of hot water."
As soon as Madam Lu finished speaking, Lu Yan and Cheng Wei, who had put their things away, came over. Lu Yan said, "Third Aunt, you stay with my sister-in-law. I'll go get the water."
With that, Lu Yan took the thermos and left.
The hot water on the train can be turned off at any time, so they needed to prepare some in advance. Therefore, they bought several thermos bottles and brought them on board before boarding.
Because it's a long-distance train journey that takes three days and three nights, many people, like them, bring their own thermos flasks when they board the train.
After Lu Yan and Cheng Wei left, Madam Lu sat down beside Jiang Yue with concern and tucked the blanket around her. "Yueyue, are your knees still sore?"
Jiang Yue, her face a little pale, leaned against the blanket behind her, and shook her head with a smile, "It's much better with the hot water bottle warming me up."
With the constant warmth from the hot water bottle, the aches and pains from before have subsided considerably.
The more sensible Jiang Yue became, the more Madam Lu felt sorry for her.
“It’s all Jing Nian’s fault. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have suffered so much. When he comes back, you’ll make him kneel on a washboard for three days and three nights without letting him get up.”
Wouldn't Lu Jingnian's knees be ruined from kneeling?
Jiang Yue nodded with a smile, "I heard it from my mom. When he comes back, she'll make him kneel on a washboard."
With Madam Lu's meticulous care over the past three days, Jiang Yue's legs haven't hurt much.
Three days later, when the train arrived in City A, Jiang Yue saw heavy snow falling as soon as she got off the train.
"Mom, it's snowing in City A."
Jiang Yue smiled and looked at Madam Lu beside her, wondering where Lu Jingnian was now, and whether it was snowing where he was.
Mrs. Lu smiled and put the hat on Jiang Yue's head. "Let's go home first. When we get home, Mom will help you build a snowman."
Building snowmen is usually something adults do to amuse children. Madam Lu is too old for such things, but if Yueyue likes it, she can play with her.
"OK."
Jiang Yue loves snow.
Before he arrived, Grandpa Lu had arranged a house for him in City A, right in the compound.
Given his status, even though he's retired now, if he wanted to temporarily apply for a house in the compound to live in for a while, all he had to do was ask, and the higher-ups would definitely arrange it for him.
The house has been cleaned in the last three days, so you can move in right away.
The house that Grandpa Lu applied for was very close to the Jiang family's house. After returning to the compound by car, Grandpa Lu and the others first took Jiang Yue back to the Jiang family's house.
Before returning to City A, Jiang Yue called home to tell her that her grandparents and Mrs. Lu would be accompanying her on her trip back, so that her family could be prepared. She also mentioned that she was pregnant.
After all, given Old Master Lu's status, even though we're family now, we still need to treat him with the respect due to his position.
Knowing that Jiang Yue was returning today, Jiang's father and Shen Min both took the day off to wait for her at home.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the Jiang family's house, Jiang Yue couldn't wait to get out.
Having been away for so long, she had missed her grandmother and mother terribly.
As Jiang Yue got out of the car, she opened the door and called out to the people inside, "Grandma, Mom and Dad, I'm home."
"Yueyue is back."
Upon hearing the noise, Grandma Jiang immediately came out of the house with Shen Min, leaning on her cane.
Seeing Jiang Yue, Grandma Jiang's eyes narrowed into slits with joy. If her in-laws hadn't been there, she would have hugged her precious granddaughter first.
Grandma Jiang walked over and took Grandma Lu's hand: "My dear in-laws, I'm so happy to see you. It's cold outside, let's go inside quickly."
Like Grandma Jiang, Grandma Lu was a well-bred young lady in her youth, and the two elderly women had a very similar temperament.
"Old Lu and I are also very happy to meet our in-laws this time."
Grandma Lu also held Grandma Jiang's hand with a polite and familiar attitude, which showed that she liked Grandma Jiang and the Jiang family very much. Her attitude was also a way of telling the Jiang family that the Lu family valued Jiang Yue very much.
The group entered the house, and Jiang's father, who had been handling official business in the study, also ran out when he heard the commotion.
Upon seeing Grandpa Lu, Jiang's father immediately gave a military salute.
"Greetings, Commander."
