After reading these letters, a surge of joy welled up inside him. He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself and waved his fist as if to share his happiness with the whole world.
Just then, he suddenly noticed his wife smiling at him, a smile as warm and loving as the spring sun. He quickly stepped forward, hugged Gu Qi'en tightly, and said excitedly, "Honey, my parents and grandparents have come back to the city!"
The day of triumph after hardship has finally arrived, a feeling that is hard to describe. Years of hard work and perseverance have finally paid off. The return of my in-laws to the city is undoubtedly a significant turning point in this family's life.
Several years passed, and they endured many hardships and difficulties, but they never gave up. Finally, their efforts were recognized, and they were transferred from the harsh Xinjiang province to the prosperous Jiangxi province. This transfer not only meant an improved working environment, but also a higher quality of life.
For the children, this was a new beginning. Their grandparents took them to Beijing to attend school, where educational resources were more abundant and the teaching standards were higher. Although the parents felt a pang of reluctance, they understood that this would benefit their children's development.
Although parting from their children was sad, they knew it was only temporary. The children would return during winter and summer vacations to reunite with their families. Thinking of this, they felt that a few months didn't seem so long.
In this new phase, they will continue to work hard to create better living conditions for their family. At the same time, they look forward to their children thriving in their new environment and realizing their dreams.
And indeed, they weren't kept waiting. When the children were in high school, Lu Cheng received another transfer notice, and this time the destination was Jin City!
This news was undoubtedly a huge surprise for Gu Qi'en. She secretly sighed, finally relieved that she no longer had to endure the endless torment of longing.
However, when she told Lu Cheng the good news, he seemed somewhat unimpressed. A slight, mocking smile played on his lips as he teased, "The pain of unrequited love? That's for lovers or spouses, how can you apply it to your son?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qi'en rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said reproachfully, "You, you just know how to make fun of me! You're always hanging around in front of me, and even if I still have feelings for you, you've worn them down to almost nothing! But my two sons are different. They are my own flesh and blood, sharing the same body with me! Is it wrong for me to miss them?"
Seeing this, Lu Cheng quickly smiled and coaxed, "Alright, alright, my wife is right. It was my fault. Don't be angry." As he spoke, he gently patted Gu Qi'en's shoulder to soothe her emotions.
Gu Qi'en was overwhelmed with excitement. He could clearly feel how long and arduous this period had been, but this did not diminish his joy in the slightest. So, he and his wife tacitly refrained from saying anything more and simply packed their luggage with great happiness.
As they bid farewell to their comrades and friends, the couple beamed with happiness. They were filled with anticipation for their new life and grateful for the past.
Lu Cheng's two children, though separated from their parents by thousands of miles, are now only a hundred miles apart, and they are just as happy. Whenever they have time off, they can't wait to go to Jinshi to visit their parents and enjoy the rare time together.
However, the children are already high school students, and the academic pressure is naturally considerable. Despite this, they still make time to visit their parents amidst their busy studies. Although Gu Qi'en feels sorry for her children, she is still very pleased with her two sons' filial piety.
When Gu Qi'en had her own holidays, she would make a special trip to Beijing to visit the children. As time went by, she gradually became familiar with her sister-in-law, Qian Duoduo, and their communication increased, their relationship growing closer.
Moreover, through Qian Duoduo's repeated trips with the children, including travels abroad, she could truly feel their continuous growth and progress. The children became increasingly confident, a change that brought her, as a mother, great joy.
At the same time, she also clearly realized that this growth and progress did not come solely from what they, as parents, had given them. Qian Duoduo played an important role in the children's growth, and her companionship and guidance had a positive impact on the children.
Therefore, she felt very grateful to Qian Duoduo, and whenever she had free time, she would take the initiative to contact Qian Duoduo, inviting her to dinner or other activities. Gradually, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law became closer and closer, and their communication became more and more frequent.
Moreover, this positive relationship extended to Lu Fen and other relatives in the Lu family. Lu Xing's wife also grew closer to Qian Duoduo, and everyone got along very well. Sometimes, the Lu sisters and Lu Xing's wife would even jokingly accuse her of favoritism, but she knew in her heart that this was entirely because Qian Duoduo had done an outstanding job, and she was filled with gratitude towards her.
Gu Qi'en often chatted enthusiastically with Lu Cheng about the time she spent with her girlfriends, including Qian Duoduo, Lu Fen, and Lu Qing. They would go shopping together, their laughter never ceasing; or they would sit together, chatting about everyday life and sharing their joys and sorrows.
Gu Qi'en knew that Qian Duoduo was a nationally renowned strong woman, but when they were together, Qian Duoduo didn't have that domineering aura at all. She treated him as a true friend, and this sincere friendship made Gu Qi'en happy.
It's important to know that among the three daughters-in-law of the Lu family, only Qian Duoduo has free access to Lu Yiheng's study. This is undoubtedly a significant indicator, fully demonstrating her special status within the Lu family.
That's why, when Lu Jin got married, Gu Qi'en specially prepared an unprecedentedly large red envelope. The amount in this red envelope was even much larger than the red envelopes that Qian Duoduo had given when his two sons got married.
Of course, this wasn't because the Lu family lacked money; quite the opposite, they were extremely wealthy. Gu Qi'en had invested most of her wealth in Wanmao Group's stocks and internet companies, and as a minor shareholder, she had made a fortune.
After retiring, Gu Qi'en moved with Lu Cheng to the military district's veterans' sanatorium in Beijing. The sanatorium was full of retired military leaders, and everyone's life was similar. There were also medical staff available on call, and everyone enjoyed their retirement life.
She looked at her two daughters-in-law in the kitchen and felt quite happy. Neither of them was stingy or petty, and both were people her son liked.
