The next morning, the team leader asked people to help carry the coffin from the fourth uncle's house, and personally accompanied them up the mountain to watch Lu Qingyou being buried.
Li Guifen did not go to the mountain, but just sat in the room blankly. Jiang Manyue was worried, so she could only stay at home with her.
After Lu Lin and Lu Jun'an came back, Jiang Manyue told Lu Lin that she wanted to take Li Guifen to Yunzhou to live together.
Dad is no longer around, so Lu Lin certainly won't let his mother stay alone in her hometown. He was just thinking about how to tell Jiang Manyue to bring Li Guifen back to Yunzhou when she spoke first.
Lu Lin was a little touched and squeezed Jiang Manyue's hand, "Manyue, you are really my confidant."
Jiang Manyue smiled at him and said, "Now that Dad is gone, it's only right that we take Mom over to live with us. Let Mom take care of the two kids more, and she won't have so much time to worry about other things."
Lu Lin nodded. He also agreed with Jiang Manyue's idea. Let Li Guifen take care of her grandson more and keep her busy, so that her sadness will dissipate faster.
Because they had taken a temporary leave to visit the patient, they could not stay at home for too long, so they bought tickets for the day after tomorrow, prepared to pack up their things tomorrow, and take Li Guifen back to Yunzhou.
After learning that they were about to leave, Li Guifen looked at every brick and tile in the house, silently packed her luggage, put Lu Qingyou's things in a big box and locked it. Finally, she couldn't help but sit in the room and burst into tears.
Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin went to catch all the chickens in the house and gave them to the Jiang family. They also asked Miao Xianghua to take care of the family's private plot. It happened that the Jiang family had a large family, and with more private plots, they could grow more vegetables to fill their stomachs.
On the day of departure, Li Guifen walked around the house again, said nothing, carried her luggage and left behind Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue.
Because Li Guifen was in a bad mood, Jiang Manyue asked Lu Jun'an to hold her hand, while she and Lu Lin held the child and carried the luggage at the same time.
Fortunately, they didn't pack much when they came back this time, so they could carry two luggage bags.
A family of four and two children boarded the train, and Li Guifen stared out the window in a daze.
The last time she took the train to Yunzhou, she went with Lu Qingyou. This time, the dead old man she mentioned was no longer with her. He really became a dead old man.
Jiang Manyue saw Li Guifen's disappointment, so she made an excuse that she was tired and asked Li Guifen to help look after the child, hoping that the child could make her happy.
On the train, Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin left the child to Li Guifen's care whenever they could. Li Guifen knew their good intentions and smiled more.
When they got home, Jiang Manyue didn't let Li Guifen idle. She handed the two children over to her completely, while she and Lu Lin were busy cleaning Li Guifen's room.
Li Guifen settled down in the compound. Every day she was either busy taking care of her two grandsons to play, or helping to buy groceries and picking up Lu Junan from school. Her life was very fulfilling. As time went by, she gradually got over the pain of losing her husband.

In the blink of an eye, it was summer and the twins were about to turn one year old.
Li Guifen and Jiang Manyue discussed that although it is not allowed to hold the one-year-old ceremony now, they still want to hold one secretly at home.
Jiang Manyue thought about it and felt that it was no big deal. They didn't let others watch, so she just made a few things for the children to catch. No matter what they caught, they could just treat it as fun.
"Okay, Mom, let's make one at home. We can do it secretly without letting anyone see."
Jiang Manyue agreed. Li Guifen was very happy and excitedly went to prepare the things for the one-year-old celebration.
What Li Guifen prepared was very simple: a pen, a coin, a small wooden pistol, a book, a pair of gloves, and a spatula.
"That's enough. Look, the pen represents the writer, the coin represents the businessman, the pistol represents the soldier, the book represents the teacher, the gloves represent the worker, and the spatula represents the chef. That's basically it."
All the currently reliable professions that Li Guifen could think of are listed above.
Although she couldn't do business now, Li Guifen felt that her child was still young, and what if she could do it in twenty years? So she still put the coin on it.
Since they were not allowed to hold ceremonies, they didn't care which day it was. They just picked an afternoon at random, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put the things on the bed, and then put Junhe on the bed.
Junhe saw something on the bed, so he crawled over and grabbed a pen.
"Oh, so you want to be a writer?"
Just when Li Guifen said that Junhe grabbed a pen and might become a writer in the future, Junhe threw the pen away again.
"Ah, why did you throw it away again? Writers are pretty good too!"
Junhe turned around and grabbed the coin again. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he was stopped by Jiang Manyue.
The coin was cleaned, but it was not big, and it would be troublesome if he swallowed it directly.
Seeing that his mother stopped him from eating, Junhe immediately lost interest in the coin and started to look for other things.
Li Guifen looked at it for a long time and became anxious. "What on earth is this kid trying to catch?"
Junhe grabbed the wooden pistol, held it in his arms happily, drooling, and refused to let go.
Li Guifen was happy, "Just like his father, he wants to join the army!"
Jiang Manyue picked up Junhe, who was still drooling, wiped his saliva, and put the wooden gun in his arms back on the bed.
Li Guifen put Junping down and asked Junping to try to grab something and pull it up.
Junping had a clear goal. He went up and grabbed the wooden spear, holding it firmly in his hand and refusing to let go.
"Oh my god, these two kids are going to join the army? Is this a military family?"
Jiang Manyue smiled and said, "Mom, this may not be true. Maybe they will want to do something else in the future."
Li Guifen said seriously, "That's right. When Ah Lin was a child, he got a liberation cap during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony. He held on to it tightly."
Jiang Manyue touched her son's head in her arms and said, "If it's true, then he can join the army and inherit his father's fine tradition. It will be an honor for our family."
Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Lu Lin came back with a piece of news.
He is going to be transferred to the Beijing Military Region, and his family will move there with him. They will no longer live in this compound.
Jiang Manyue exclaimed, "Ah!" "We're moving to Jing City? We're not coming back anymore?"
Lu Lin nodded. "Yes, although I don't know how long I will stay in Jing City, I probably won't be returning to Yunzhou in the future. If I have to be transferred, it will be to another military region."
Li Guifen felt a little nervous. Jingshi is the capital. Can they go there?
Jiang Manyue was reluctant to leave her neighbors in the compound, and was also reluctant to leave the place where she had lived for so long.
