Fu Qingping nodded repeatedly: "I will find some rubber gloves and some special hand cream, and send them to you together. You must send me one piece of your work for inspection every month, can you do that?"
Cuihua nodded: "Don't worry, Master, I can definitely do it."
"Don't come to see me off tomorrow. I hate farewells the most; they make me feel down. Do you understand?" Fu Qingping instructed Cuihua.
Cuihua wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she nodded: "Then, Master, have a safe journey home and send me a telegram when you get home safely."
Fu Qingping smiled with satisfaction. Cuihua was a very good apprentice. She was hardworking, honest, kind, and most importantly, she had a talent for embroidery and art. One talent is worth more than five times the hard work, not to mention that Cuihua was exceptionally hardworking.
When Ye Ren saw his wife smile, his mood inexplicably improved. Ten years of separation had only resulted in a few days of reunion, and even those meetings were sporadic, just like this time—meeting today, only to part again tomorrow.
As a military technician, he had to put his personal interests aside for the sake of the country and the people. He hoped that his wife would live a long and healthy life and wait for him for a few more years until Chenming grew up, so that the two of them could grow old together.
Fu Qingping glanced at Ye Ren. Of course, she knew her husband's plans. When she married Ye Ren, she knew that aristocratic families were different from ordinary families. Responsibility was paramount, and one could not be limited to personal matters but had to prioritize the overall situation.
The two supported each other as they left the courtyard. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the white-haired elderly couple, their thin backs showing signs of hardship, which was heartbreaking. Yan Xiaonan sighed, "Life is so difficult."
With his eyes closed, Ye Ren's consciousness spread out, enveloping the two elderly people. He felt warmth all over his body, as if fresh blood had been injected into him, and even his pores felt comfortable.
The little girl's abilities have improved again. Luckily, I suggested protecting Chenming and Nannan back then. It seems I made the right decision. I turned around and nodded to Yan Xiaonan, feeling both relieved and grateful.
Fu Qingping's body suddenly warmed up. Surprised, she saw her husband nod to Yan Xiaonan. The tears she had been holding back for a long time finally flowed out. In order to protect Chenming and Yan Xiaonan, the Ye family had spent almost half of their wealth. Apart from the dowry for Chen'er and the three-courtyard house, only a small portion of what they had left was left.
At first, she didn't understand why her husband still protected Yan Xiaonan. Could it be that she was Cuihua's daughter? But even so, he should still protect Cuihua. Now she understands. If the Ye family's vast wealth can be exchanged for Yan Xiaonan as their granddaughter-in-law, what does it matter if things fall apart? It's worth it.
Grandma Yan, being an old and wise woman, immediately saw that Yan Xiaonan was using immortal power. She grabbed Yan Xiaonan's hand, her heart aching beyond measure. Her darling was repaying a debt of gratitude again. However, this debt of gratitude should be repaid, as the Ye family elders had paid too high a price for Nannan.
The liveliness in the courtyard quietly faded away with the departure of the Ye family. The evening breeze caressed everyone's faces, bringing a slight chill. Yan Aidang's wedding had turned their anticipation of finally being able to reunite into the loneliness of impending separation. They couldn't adjust their mindset for a while and could only sit quietly in the courtyard looking at the bonsai.
Grandma Yan felt a little sad. The people sitting below were all her close relatives. When they were around, she complained that they were too noisy. But now that she had to leave, she felt a deep sense of reluctance. However, she could only try her best to restrain herself. They had all grown up, started their own families, and had their own lives to live.
Yan Xiaonan was worried about her grandmother's health, so she took her to bed. Her grandmother hadn't taken a nap today and was already sleepy. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she started snoring. Yan Xiaonan took the opportunity to transfer her supernatural power to her grandmother, hoping that her grandmother could live a long and healthy life.
Wu Jinban kept looking at Liu Jin, feeling extremely conflicted. He wanted to talk to Liu Jin, but he didn't. After Yan Xiaonan's reminder, Liu Jin realized that his carelessness had hurt Wu Jinban, and he had been trying to make up for it these past few days.
Seeing Wu Jinban's conflicted expression, Liu Jin ran over, took Wu Jinban's little hand, and said gently, "Little brother, how about you take me to school tomorrow? When you go back, study hard and come to the capital to study in the future. I'll be waiting for you."
"I don't like studying, I like wood," Wu Jinban whispered, knowing that his grades were always at the bottom of the class.
"Little brother, listen to your brother. Write a letter to your aunt every month and tell her what you want to do and what you want to be when you grow up. Your aunt will give you the right answer. Come on, let's go to my room. I'll give you stationery, envelopes, and stamps. You just need to put the stamps on." Liu Jin pulled Wu Jinban into his room.
Wu Jin took a stack of letter paper and envelopes, as well as a whole sheet of stamps. His wounded heart slowly healed. Liu Jin still cared about me. So many stamps and letter paper must have cost a lot of money. Liu Jin gave them all to me without batting an eye.
The two brothers made up as before, and Xue Mei nodded secretly. It was good that they were back together. If the two of them had continued to be at odds, she and Tang Xiaoling would have had problems too.
The next morning, after breakfast, the whole family went to Liujin's school. The corridors of the school were covered with photos of various opera characters, from young male roles to old male roles, from clowns to famous actors.
Teacher Tan personally came to pick up his students and their parents. They followed Teacher Tan to visit the dormitory, teaching building, stage, practice room, and of course the canteen and bathroom, as well as several infirmaries for children with sprains and bruises.
Southeast and Xuemei were relieved. Schools with such good conditions are rare, and besides, they had Grandma and Nannan with them, so Liujin wouldn't be in any trouble.
Principal Tan was about to take Liu Jin to class. Xue Mei hugged her son with reluctance: "Study hard, listen to Teacher Tan, and go back to Grandma's house every week. Your aunt also comes back every week."
Liu Jin hugged Xue Mei tightly, and finally, slowly withdrew his hand: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely bring honor to the Yan family."
Grandma Yan watched Liu Jin's departing figure. Yesterday afternoon, Ye Chenming left, and this morning, Ye Ren's family was also leaving. Nan Nan and Liu Jin were going to school, and tomorrow Dong Nan and Xin Nan would be taking the children back. By the time they saw them again, Fu Bao and Duo Duo would probably be running and jumping by now.
The day after tomorrow, Yan Zheng is to return to the team. Actually, his leave time is not yet over, but Yan Zheng insists on returning to the team, so we can only let him return. Yan Zheng wants to take Yan Erqiang back to Chuncheng first, and then go to Huacheng. The two children of the second son will be throwing themselves into hard work. When they will meet again, who knows?
All good things must come to an end, and even the most extensive tree must eventually part ways.
