Chapter 100: A Little Farewell
Jiang Yang nodded, and He Yan continued: "Is Aunt still your aunt?"
“Yes, yes.”
"So, aunt is still your aunt, nothing has changed, and I haven't taken your aunt away. On the contrary, you now have a younger uncle-in-law like me."
Jiang Yang frowned and nodded. He always felt that something was wrong, but his little head couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"But, but, Auntie didn't go back with us."
The child finally found a breakthrough point. He straightened his back and looked at He Yan with burning eyes.
Xu Zhishu reached out and patted Jiang Yang on the back of his head, saying, "That's enough, your aunt and uncle will be back to Yun Province in a while."
"oh."
Hearing Xu Zhishu's words, Jiang Yang responded listlessly. He didn't even use his uncle's handkerchief to wipe his tears. He raised his hand and wiped his face with the back of his hand, and the tears were wiped away.
He looked at Jiang Yingying with watery eyes and asked, "Aunt, when are you going back?"
"I'll wait for you at home."
Jiang Yingying's heart softened when she saw him like this. She raised her hand and pinched his fat face, saying, "I'll be back soon. You wait for me at home."
"I'll be good."
Watching Jiang Yang making promises to Jiang Yingying over and over again, someone who didn't know the inside story would probably think he was such a well-behaved and obedient child.
But as his biological parents, they have been cheated by him countless times over the years, big and small, and have also been pissed off by him many times. Jiang Chao and Xu Zhishu really can't stand this kid pretending to be good.
Jiang Chao pulled him over and said, "Alright, alright, stop bothering your aunt. It's almost time, and they have to go back too. Let's go back to Yun Province and have a good reunion."
As for their train tickets, He Yan said he would buy them and send them over tomorrow morning. He Yan grew up in Beijing, so not to mention his family, it would not be a problem for him to get two or three tickets for his brothers and friends.
Jiang Chao felt that since they had become a family and He Yan had taken the initiative to speak, there was no need for him to refuse.
As a family, if someone helps get a few train tickets, he can still accept it and he is able to repay the favor.
During this time, Xu Zhishu also brought out the return gifts they had prepared. Not only did he not accept the things Jiang Yingying and the others brought, Xu Zhishu also added the things they had planned to hide in the package a long time ago.
Jiang Yingying refused to accept them, but Xu Zhishu said that they were going back to Yun Province, and it would be troublesome to bring so many things with them, and they might get damaged on the way.
Jiang Yingying learned the art of refusal from Xu Zhishu after she arrived at the family compound. Now, she was naturally no match for Xu Zhishu.
After that, the couple came with lots of bags, and left with even more when they came. But the only thing that remained unchanged was that no matter how many things He Yan brought back and forth, he never asked Jiang Yingying to help, and he carried everything by himself.
When they returned to the compound, He Ping and He An had finished their homework and were playing in the living room with the car that Jiang Yingying and others had bought for them in the department store the day before. Aunt Qin was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise of their return, Aunt Qin came out from the kitchen and looked at the large and small bags, which showed a lot more things than when she went out in the morning.
She asked bluntly: "Why are the things taken back?"
As she spoke, Aunt Qin still looked at He Yan with a slightly reproachful look, but Jiang Yingying's words pulled her back from that reproachful look.
"Aunt Qin, my brother and sister-in-law are planning to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. They said it would be a waste to keep the things with them, so they asked us to take them back."
"You're leaving tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? So soon." Aunt Qin said in surprise.
She had a good impression of Jiang Chao and his wife, not only because they were Jiang Yingying's brother and sister-in-law, but also because they had met during this period of time when discussing their marriage. After getting along with them, she had a very good impression of them.
Even though she really felt a little reluctant in her heart, Aunt Qin would not say anything like "go later, don't go at all". Young people all have jobs and families, and they are still in Yunnan Province, which is far away. If they go back early, they can rest for two days before going back to work.
Therefore, after being surprised and reluctant, Aunt Qin said, "We have to prepare some food for them and Xiao Jiangyang on the way."
After saying that, Aunt Qin turned around and wanted to go into the kitchen to make some arrangements. There was still plenty of time, so she might as well make the cookies she learned from Jiang Yingying some time ago, which would help her fill her stomach when she was hungry on the road.
Jiang Yingying hurriedly stopped her and said there was no need to rush. There was still time tomorrow, and she would need Aunt Qin's help tomorrow.
Hearing that Jiang Yingying's work arrangements included her, Aunt Qin gave up her plan to tinker with something from tonight and went into the kitchen to make her dinner.
When He Ping and He An heard that Jiang Yang's family was leaving, they felt reluctant to let them go.
Upon hearing the news, they all nodded unenthusiastically when their uncle said he was going out for a while and left their aunt in their care.
You have to know that during this period of time, the two little guys have been fighting wits and courage with He Yan [throwing around in a tantrum] in order to spend more time with Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Yingying rubbed their heads one by one and comforted them, "We will meet again in the future. We can also communicate or call each other when we are apart."
He Ping nodded and said, "Aunt, I'm going to prepare a gift for Jiang Yang, so that when he sees the gift I gave him, he won't forget me all of a sudden."
He An immediately said: "Then I want to send it too."
"Aunt, let's go back to our room to pick out some things first." After the two children and Jiang Yingying finished speaking, they ran back to their room hand in hand.
Jiang Yingying shook her head with a smile. Well, should she take this opportunity to think about making something to give Jiang Chao and the other two some snacks that would satisfy their cravings and fill their stomachs on the way?
He Yan went out for a walk and came back, then told Jiang Yingying that he had sent the tickets to the Siheyuan.
"Did you buy the ticket?"
"The Chen family on the east side of the compound has a sister-in-law who works in the railway. I told him about it, and we went to the train station together and bought the tickets."
"When?"
"The ticket is for 2pm tomorrow, soft sleeper." He Yan held Jiang Yingying's hand and said, "Let's go together to see off Big Brother and the others tomorrow."
"Um."
Today is the day Jiang Yingying returns home. He Jingqi and Lin Guifang not only took leave in the morning and arrived late, but also took leave in the afternoon and left early.
They came back not long after He Yan came back, around five in the afternoon. Normally, they would be back around seven or eight in the afternoon. If there were any unexpected situations or emergencies, they would be back around eight or nine, or even ten o'clock. It was even possible that He Jingqi would spend the night at the military region.
The old couple came back early, so dinner naturally started early. At the dinner table, He Jingqi and the others also learned that Jiang Chao and his family of three would be returning tomorrow.
