Qian Duoduo led them into Qian Yu's room. Chen Runan was changing the diaper of the youngest child, Qian Yibo. She was stunned to see so many people coming in through the window. When she realized that the last person to come in was Qian Yu, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Qian Yu was happy to see his wife. He walked over and, ignoring everyone's stares, hugged his wife first. Then, seeing the girl who was playing with her younger brother, he smiled and hugged her without saying a word, giving her a kiss.
Qian Duoduo smiled and placed Qian Yixuan on the kang (a heated brick bed), then said very seriously, "You, as the older brother, should lose weight. Your mother carried you so far; it must have been really hard for her!"
When Ling's mother first heard Qian Duoduo's words, she was about to say that it was better for the child to be chubby. However, after hearing the last sentence, she shut her mouth. Although the three men had carried the child most of the way, it was indeed Xiaoyun who carried the child more after entering the village.
Seeing Qian Duoduo helping Qian Yixuan take off his clothes, she said, "Take them off later, don't get cold."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's warmer inside. Now that we've just come in, we can take off our clothes to keep out the cold air. That's better."
Qian Feng said, "Duo Duo is right, hurry up and take them off!"
Before long, they were down to just a shirt and pants. Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Oh my, our Xuanxuan's little outfit is so pretty! This navy shirt is so cool!"
Qian Yixuan, who was already over a year old, understood that this was a compliment, and he immediately smiled at Qian Duoduo!
Qian Duoduo said, "Aunt Ling, is it alright if I address you like this?"
Ling's mother smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. Your mother and I are very good friends!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Aunt Ling, please sit down first. My brother and I will go get some firewood to heat up the kang (heated brick bed) in the next room. It will be warm over there in a little while!"
Aunt Ling nodded and watched Qian Duoduo and Qian Feng leave.
After holding the girl and basking in her fragrance for a while, Qian Yu asked, "Nannan, what kind of feast is your family having today?"
Chen Runan said with a smile, "Our Duoduo and Qian Xiangge's wife, Guo Ni, both took the college entrance examination and were admitted to Northeast Agricultural University. Duoduo, in particular, is the youngest candidate in our county and the only local college student from Beian Village. Her parents are very happy, and her uncle and aunt are very happy. So the two families discussed it and decided to hold a banquet today to celebrate her college admission. You guys are lucky that you came back just in time!"
Commander Ling and his mother exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. The Qian family's children were all quite impressive. Qian Feng had been admitted to the Naval Command Academy, the second son had been admitted to the Special Operations Academy, and now there was Qian Duoduo, who was admitted to Northeast Agricultural University. In total, three of the five children were university students. The Qian family was truly remarkable!
Commander Ling thought the son-in-law he had found for his daughter was quite good. He gave his wife a look that seemed to ask for praise. His mother received his look and smiled inwardly, giving him a thumbs-up without making it obvious. This brought a smile to Commander Ling's serious face. He thought to himself, "She always has excellent taste! Just like when she chooses a wife, she chooses a son-in-law!"
Qian Yu happily lifted the girl in his arms and said, "Wow, Feifei's aunt is so amazing!"
Qian Yixuan saw his little sister flying around in his uncle's arms, and his eyes were filled with envy. He stood up shakily and walked towards Qian Yu. When he got close, he sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed). The hardness of this kang was completely different from the one on his own bed, and it made him wince in pain.
Seeing her son's state, Ling Yun laughed heartily. Ling's mother glared at her daughter and was about to step forward to check on her grandson's bottom when a large hand pressed down on her leg. She glanced at Old Ling and then stopped moving.
Qian Yixuan endured the pain in her bottom, stood up again, and walked towards Qian Yu. She saw Qian Yu holding her younger sister in his arms, so she went up and took Qian Yu's arm. When she saw her uncle looking at her, she immediately smiled and opened her little arms.
Qian Yu immediately understood his nephew's thoughts and said, "What? Does Xuanxuan also want to fly high?"
Qian Yixuan nodded immediately. "Uncle, hurry up, fly! Don't ask any more questions, I want to fly!"
Qian Yu smiled and placed Qian Yufei on the kang (a heated brick bed) to the side. Then, he put his hands under Qian Yixuan's armpits and said to Qian Yixuan, "Old man, your second uncle will take you flying!"
Qian Yixuan felt that this was different from his usual perspective, and smiled happily!
The people inside the room were infected by his laughter and laughed happily along with him.
~~~
Qian Feng and Qian Duoduo carried firewood back to their room. As soon as they entered, they felt that there was no difference between the room and the outside. Without saying a word, he first poured some water into the large iron pot.
Then, seeing Qian Duoduo start to light the fire, he asked, "Duoduo, what kind of feast are we having at home today?"
Qian Duoduo said, "This was a banquet that my uncle and father had planned to hold for me and my sister-in-law Guo Ni to celebrate our graduation."
Qian Feng was taken aback, squatted down, and looked at Qian Duoduo, saying, "You took the college entrance exam? How did it go?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Did you participate too?"
Qian Feng smiled and said, "Of course! You wrote me a letter and sent me textbooks and workbooks. If I don't study, wouldn't I be letting you down for caring about me so much? Not only me, but your second brother is also taking the college entrance exam."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Did you get into a military academy?"
Qian Feng nodded and said, "Yes, mine is from the Naval Command Academy, and your second brother's is from the Special Operations Academy! We're both in the same field!"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "I went to Northeast Agricultural University, majoring in agronomy. My sister-in-law Guo Ni went to the same university as me; she majored in horticulture!"
Qian Feng laughed and said, "Haha, that's really great!"
Seeing Qian Feng's smile, Qian Duoduo smiled too. Now, the life trajectories of Qian Feng and Qian Yu are different from those in the original book. In the original book, neither of the brothers took the college entrance examination. Even though they were both promoted and received raises in the army, their educational background was still a disadvantage. As a result, they both had no choice but to retire from the army.
Especially Qian Yu, whose career as a special forces soldier left him with both major and minor injuries, ultimately leading to his untimely death. He left Chen Runan alone to raise their child and never remarried. She once said: "There will never be anyone who will haunt my dreams and try every trick in the book to make me happy again. It's better to cherish the memory than to meet again. Let her live her life with the most beautiful love!"
Great, things will never be the same again!
