Lin Guodong followed Li Yunshu all the way, feeling both nervous and excited.
After riding for about half an hour, we entered a quiet Wutong Road.
After crossing Wutong Road, the view suddenly opens up.
Under the bright street lights, there is a magnificent gate with sentries in military uniforms standing guard at the gate.
Seeing his mother Li Yunshu riding a bicycle, he nodded to the sentry, and the sentry opened the iron gate.
He just rode his bike in like that.
Lin Guodong stopped at the intersection and did not go forward. He sat on his bicycle and looked at the magnificent courtyard not far away, his heart was excited.
He couldn't imagine how cheerful he would be if he lived in such a grand courtyard.
"Who is there?" The sentry asked loudly, looking in the direction of Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong was startled, looked around, turned around, and ran away on his bicycle.
"Stop and don't run." When he ran, the sentry thought there was something wrong with him and started chasing him.
Seeing that the sentry was still chasing him, Lin Guodong pedaled as fast as he could, rode out of Wutong Road, and threw off the sentry, his heart almost jumping out of his chest.
"Dad, Mom, come back." Li Yunshu opened the door with the key and said loudly while changing his shoes in the entrance hall.
"You're back. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner. We've been waiting for you." A deep male voice sounded.
When Li Yunshu looked up, he saw his second brother Li Boyan, who was wearing a blue shirt, a brown V-neck sweater, and his hands in his pockets.
Li Yunshu showed a look of surprise, "Second brother, you are back?"
Li Boyan nodded and said, "I'll be there at 2 pm. I'll stay home for a few more days this time to spend time with my parents."
"That's great. Are you cold wearing so little, brother?" Li Yunshu asked, looking at the clothes he was wearing.
Although the room was heated by a radiator, it wasn't very effective, and the room was large, so it was still a bit cold.
Li Boyan shook his shoulders and was about to say that he wasn't cold when he heard his younger sister say, "Wait a minute, go upstairs and get the home clothes I made for you."
After saying that, Li Yunshu trotted up to the second floor.
Li Boyan touched his sweater, looked at his little sister's back as she went upstairs, and smiled.
Hehe, my little sister made clothes for him again.
Li Yunshu went to the room, took off his thick cotton coat, took off his sweater, and put on his pink home cotton coat.
She took out two sets of cotton home clothes she had made for her second brother from the cupboard.
"Second brother, this is the home cotton coat I made for you. Try it on." Li Yunshu walked up to Li Boyan holding the cotton coat.
Li Boyan picked up the cotton coat and put it on, "Okay, let's try it."
"It looks good, is warm, and fits well. It's great to wear at home." Li Boyan praised while patting his army green cotton coat.
"Put this one on the sofa for you. Remember to take it when you return to your room later." Li Yunshu put the other one on the sofa.
Li Boyan nodded and said, "Okay."
"Okay, come and eat." Old Mrs. Yu shouted from the dining table.
The brother and sister walked over with a smile and started a warm dinner time.
Lin Guodong rode his bicycle all the way home. Zhang's mother was washing Junjun. When she saw him come back, she asked, "How is it? Did you find it?"
Lin Guodong walked to the table, picked up the kettle on the iron stove, poured himself a glass of water, drank two sips, nodded and said, "I found it."
"My grandpa and his family live in a very old and elegant place. There's a sycamore avenue running through it. There aren't any other houses here this week, so it's very quiet."
"There are sentries in military uniforms standing guard at the gate of this compound!"
"Oh my..." Zhang's mother pressed her hand to her heart, "That's really serious. Your grandfather is the commander. He has to have someone standing guard outside the house."
When Lin Yongnian came back from the bathroom and heard this, he didn't say anything and went straight into the house and sat on the lounge chair.
"Dad, tomorrow is a day off. I plan to go to the state-owned store tomorrow morning to buy some good nutritional supplements, and then take Junjun to meet his relatives in the morning." Lin Guodong looked at him and said.
Lin Yongnian took out a cigarette, lit it with a match, took a puff and said, "You can make your own arrangements."
He said that he would not interfere in this matter.
"Guodong, didn't we agree before that we would go out together after your injury heals?" Zhang Jiao shouted in the bedroom.
Lin Guodong walked to the bedroom door, frowned at Zhang Jiao lying on the bed and said, "How long do I have to wait for you to get better? I can't wait any longer."
No matter whether the result is good or bad, he just wants to put the burden of his heart to the ground as soon as possible.
Zhang's mother said, "It's better to deal with this kind of thing sooner rather than later. Jiaojiao, your injury has healed a lot. Why don't you just bear with it for a while and go with Guodong tomorrow."
Although Zhang Jiao's butt still hurts when she sits, it is indeed much better than before.
She thought about it, gritted her teeth and nodded.
Early the next morning, Lin Guodong rode his bicycle to the state-owned store alone.
Malted milk, royal jelly, donkey-hide gelatin cake, wool scarf, wool hat, whatever was expensive, spent about 70 yuan, and then Lin Guodong went home.
Mother Zhang looked at these good things and was very happy.
Zhang Jiao put on makeup every day, including powder, lipstick, and eyebrow drawing. She also wore the silver earrings she bought for her wedding, the yellow coat she bought last winter, and black leather shoes.
Junjun also put on the cotton-padded jacket that Zhang Jiao had bought him not long ago. He washed his little face clean and wiped off some facial oil.
Everything was ready. Lin Guodong pushed his bicycle out of the yard, and Zhang Jiao followed behind him, holding some gifts and holding Junjun's hand.
"Hey Guodong, you two are dressed so beautifully, where are you going?" asked Mrs. Lai in a sharp and old voice.
Lin Guodong was in a hurry to go to the Li family, so he didn't answer this question and walked out of the compound without stopping.
Lai Pozi: "Why don't you say anything?"
Following out, Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Guodong is taking Jiaojiao to his grandfather's uncle's house."
Mrs. Lai: "Do you know where the Li family's door is and are you going to recognize your relatives?"
Zhang's mother smiled and said, "That's right. After all, he is Guodong's grandfather and uncle. No matter what, we still have to go and get to know him."
Zhao Wenjuan sneered when she heard this. Before she even entered the Li family's house, Zhang Jiao's mother was so happy that it seemed like they had already recognized each other as relatives.
Zhang's mother followed him out of the yard.
Lin Guodong sat astride the car, picked up Junjun with one hand, and put him on the front bumper.
Zhang Jiao endured the pain and sat astride the back seat of the bicycle. Although the seat was padded and quite soft, there was no place for her feet to rest, and it was really uncomfortable to sit like this.
"Guodong, ride your bike carefully. When you get to the Li family, be sweet-talking and don't upset your grandpa and uncle." Zhang's mother warned from the side.
Lin Guodong nodded and said, "Let's go."
After he finished speaking, he stepped on the pedal hard, the wheels started to move, the steering wheel shook twice, but he controlled it steadily and drove out of the alley.
