Chapter 138 Gathering
He Ping and He An didn't care too much about what car they would take or who would drive, but the two brothers were still a little excited when they knew they were going to the county town to pick up photos today.
Lin Guifang was also looking forward to seeing the photos taken that day. At that time, they took a lot of photos, including individual photos, couple photos, and group photos.
He Yan was also anxious because he always took part in every photo they took before. He is not in this photo.
For He Yan, it meant he missed an opportunity to take a photo with his wife. How could this be possible? Captain He would never allow it!
Therefore, this time, He Yan was eager to go with Jiang Yingying, and he wanted to take more photos with her.
However, on this day, He Yan's plan to go to the county town to take pictures was dashed.
Because He Qing and Jiang Hongmei, his second brother and sister-in-law, He Ping and He An's biological parents, Lin Guifang and He Jingqi's biological son and daughter-in-law, who had not been seen for many years, appeared in the family compound.
When the two of them appeared, Jiang Yingying and others were eating today's breakfast, hand-pulled pancakes and malted milk in the yard.
When He Qing and Jiang Hongmei appeared at the gate of the courtyard, no one reacted and the black back barked twice.
The two guards following behind He Qing and Jiang Hongmei leaned forward slightly, ready for a defensive attack.
"Blackback!" Yuanyuan shouted. He ran to the door, looked at the two strangers, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
He Yan's second brother He Qing was a gentle and elegant man. He lowered his body and kept his eyes level with Yuanyuan.
"Are you Yuanyuan?" Yuanyuan's eyes widened, as if asking, how do you know me?
He Qing chuckled and said, "I've seen photos of you and Tuantuan, and my family wrote me that you look a lot like your father."
He reached out and touched her round cheek, and said with a smile, "Indeed, you and Xiaobei look exactly the same when you were little."
Yuanyuan tilted her head and thought.
"Who is Xiaobei?"
At this time, He Yan came over with Tuantuan, who was worried about Yuanyuan. When he saw the person coming, he asked in surprise, "Second brother?"
As soon as the voice came out, Lin Guifang hurried over. Jiang Yingying saw that she was too excited, so she helped her run together.
He Ping and He An didn't understand what was going on, so they followed them.
Just at this time, He Jingqi also finished his work and got off the car, saying, "Why are you standing at the door instead of going into the house?"
When he saw He Qing turn around and greet him, "Dad." He Jingqi was so excited that his lips were shaking, and Wang Dawei supported him.
"Second brother, you're back!"
Afterwards, a group of people moved their positions and came to the stone table in the yard. In the military district’s family compound, it was another family reunion. The two guards said hello to He Qing and Jiang Hongmei and then left.
They left some private space for He Qing and his family, and also went to clean up the yard in the family compound that the organization had approved for He Qing and his family during their vacation.
It’s a reunion after a long separation, or a reunion after not seeing each other for several years.
After Jiang Yingying started dating He Yan, she admired He Qing and Jiang Hongmei very much. The couple were great scientific researchers who devoted themselves to the construction of the motherland.
In the first ten or twenty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the national strength was weak, it was this group of selfless scientific researchers who left their hometowns and stayed in places with difficult conditions for years, decades, or even decades.
During this period, due to the confidentiality of the project, they were unable to contact their families and learn about their family's recent situation, and their families were unable to learn about their situation.
He Ping and He An stayed beside Jiang Yingying and did not come forward. She whispered to them, "Are you going to say hello to mom and dad?"
He Ping and He An pursed their lips. Not far away, He Qing and Jiang Hongmei's eyes were also fixed on them with nervousness and expectation.
"Ping'an, come and talk to your parents." Lin Guifang said.
He Jingqi also said: "Yes, yes, yes, you should talk to the children first. The last time you came, the two children couldn't speak..."
He Qing said nervously: "Pingping, An'an, I am your father." He Ping and He An looked at them, a little hesitant.
"Pingping, Anan, I am mother." When saying the word "mother", Jiang Hongmei almost burst into tears. She is not a competent mother.
He Qing held her hand tightly and gave her strength.
They are qualified Party members and excellent scientific researchers, but they are not competent parents.
Yuanyuan threw herself into He Yan's arms and held Tuantuan's hand.
Tuan Tuan had no choice but to turn around and hug He Yan.
Yuanyuan said to He Ping and He An, "Brother, come quickly, let's play the game of hugging people together."
Jiang Yingying stood with her hands on her hips, "He Yuanyuan, He Tuantuan, the only person you two have in your eyes and hearts right now is your dad, right?"
Tuan Tuan decisively pulled away from He Yan's arms and threw himself into Jiang Yingying's arms.
Yuanyuan also twisted her fat little body and squeezed into Jiang Yingying's arms.
Fortunately, with Yuanyuan's interruption, the atmosphere was not as quiet and tense as just now.
He Ping and He An also had smiles on their faces. They said openly, "Dad! Mom!"
"Why!"
One of them threw himself at He Qing, and the other threw himself into Jiang Hongmei's arms.
Everyone was chatting animatedly in the yard, and after a while, Jiang Yang, the little community celebrity, also came over.
Although he was a little surprised to see two strangers in the yard, he didn't feel awkward at all.
By lunchtime, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Chao also came over, and the yard became very lively.
I thought it would be enough for a group of people like this to get together happily and lively.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, He Hai and Lin Wan also came with He Yunfan.
You know, He Qing and Jiang Hongmei finally got a vacation, and it was very rare for them to see each other.
He Hai hasn't had a long vacation in the past few years, so he saved up some of his vacation time and quickly brought Lin Wan and He Yunfan here.
A day or two later, He He, Cui Wan and others also came.
At this moment, all the members of the He family were gathered together.
He Yan didn't make it to the county town to take pictures as he had been thinking about doing, but he and Jiang Yingying went to the county town together and asked the master photographer from the photo studio to spare a day to come to the family compound to help them take pictures.
The master agreed, mainly because of He Yan's military uniform and generous remuneration.
The whole family was very excited the night before the photo shoot, and the children were chattering about what clothes to wear and what poses to take the next day.
On the day of the photo shoot, Wang Dawei drove to the county town to pick up the master and his apprentice.
Jiang Yingying and the others all put on their new clothes, and the female comrades even put on some light makeup.
The background for the photo was set in the yard. The elders sat on benches, a few young couples stood in the back, and the older He Xin stood in the middle.
He Ping, He An, Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, He Yunfan and other children sat on both sides of Lin Guifang and He Jingqi.
Aunt Qin also rushed over from Beijing. She sat next to Lin Guifang, with Yuanyuan next to her.
The old master adjusted the position of the machine and said, "Well, not bad. Come on, comrades, look in front of you. Come on, three, two, one."
“Crack!”
The photo is frozen, with smiling faces on it, and the beauty of life continues.
