Su Yue and Wang Jingyi both looked at Grandpa Yang at the same time. Wang Jingyi took a few steps toward Grandpa Yang and called out "Dad" with concern, then enthusiastically introduced Su Yue.
Su Yue walked over to Wang Jingyi, smiled, and greeted him gently, "Hello, Grandpa."
Grandpa Yang said kindly, "You're doing well too. You didn't even call ahead to let us know you were coming back."
He looked at Su Yue with gentle eyes. The girl had clear eyes and didn't seem like a complicated person. He thought to himself that his son and daughter-in-law had good taste in choosing a daughter.
Wang Jingyi said helplessly, "Dad, you forgot? You and Mom told Guohua before that we didn't need to come back, saying that Mom would be fine after a few days of rest."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guohua stopped arguing with his grandparents. He understood that secretly returning home would allow him to take care of his family just as well.
After all, an elderly person in the family was injured, and the son, who works away from home, couldn't come back to visit. The daughter-in-law, who doesn't have a job, definitely had to come back.
Grandpa Yang explained softly, "We were just afraid you'd worry."
...
Wang Jingyi and Grandpa Yang chatted back and forth, while Su Yue returned to Grandma Yang's side.
Grandma Yang turned slightly to the side, nudged Wang Jingyi's back with her lips, and gestured for Su Yue to look over with a playful look in her eyes. Then she lowered her voice and said in a slightly complaining tone, "Luckily, your grandfather came to the rescue, otherwise I would still be being nagged by her endlessly."
Seeing this mischievous side of Grandma Yang, Su Yue couldn't help but laugh. "Grandma, what your godmother said makes perfect sense. You're too old to climb high places. You didn't even know, your godmother thought you had twisted your ankle. As soon as I heard the news, I immediately bought a train ticket and rushed back the next day with just two sets of clothes."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "And then there's my godfather. You know there's a dock near the military base. He's so busy with work and can't get away to come back, but he still wanted to take us to the dock. Listen to how worried my godfather and godmother are about you."
Grandma Yang naturally knew there was a dock near the military base. When she heard that her son wanted to take her and her daughter to the dock, she slightly curled her lips, revealing a hint of disdain.
"Your godfather is really bored. He took you to the dock and then had to walk back himself. Is he trying to make me feel guilty or what?"
After Wang Jingyi finished talking to Grandpa Yang, she happened to hear what Grandma Yang said and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Mom, he told me to tell you that he couldn't come back to visit you, but at least he saw us off part of the way, and he specifically told me to tell you this when I got back."
Grandma Yang was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Su Yue, "Your godfather has a bit of a tendency to take credit."
Grandpa Yang waved his hand gently, "Alright, let's stop chatting. Jingyi and the others just got off the train, they must be tired and hungry. I'll go cook them a bowl of egg noodles."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Jingyi with gentle eyes, "Take Yueyue to wash up."
Wang Jingyi responded. At this moment, Grandma Yang looked at the two bags placed to the side and said apologetically, "I didn't even know you were coming back. I didn't have time to tidy up the room, and I didn't prepare any sheets or anything."
She thought to herself that although the sheets were washed and put in the closet, they hadn't been used for a long time and probably had a smell.
Wang Jingyi reached out and picked up two bags. "The room doesn't need much tidying up. I'll wash the sheets in a bit, hang them up to dry, and they'll be dry by tonight."
The main thing is that Su Yue's room needs to have its sheets and bamboo mat washed before sleeping. It's not so troublesome for my own room. I stayed there for a while before the New Year. Grandma Yang would go in and sweep away the dust when she cleaned the room. It's Su Yue's room that's usually unoccupied, so it takes some time to clean it carefully.
After Wang Jingyi placed the two bags in her and Yang Guohua's room, Su Yue picked up a towel and clothes and went to wash up.
When Su Yue finished washing up and came out, she saw that Wang Jingyi had already hung the bamboo mat on a stone table in the yard to dry, and the sheets were still soaking in a bucket.
Without saying a word, Su Yue started washing her clothes and also picked up the bed sheets to wash them.
At this moment, Wang Jingyi came out carrying a wooden basin. The water in the basin was murky, indicating that she had just carefully wiped down the room where Su Yue lived, including the bed, windowsill, table, and stools.
"Yueyue, I'll wash the sheets. You can wash your own clothes," Wang Jingyi said.
Su Yue smiled and said, "I'm almost done washing up, you should go take a shower."
They had been on the train for several days, and Wang Jingyi hadn't showered for several days, while she herself was fine and secretly showered two or three times.
