Zhao Qinglan and her group were in a very good mood during their time in the port city.
But all good things must come to an end, and eventually, they all had to return to their homeland.
However, these days have also allowed the children to develop a deep bond with Mrs. Sun.
Although they were leaving, Erwa and the others said they would definitely come to Gangcheng to visit their great-aunt more often if they had the chance.
Madam Sun was also deeply moved by her children's filial piety and couldn't stop smiling.
Zhao Qinglan hadn't even asked her cousin about Wei Hong yet, but her cousin Yunxiang found her first.
"Cousin, could you please give this to Wei Hong?"
Zhao Qinglan took the well-packaged box with great surprise and asked curiously, "Yunxiang, did something happen between you and Wei Hong that I don't know about?"
However, Liao Yunxiang did not answer, only saying, "There are some things I can't explain. My cousin can take the things back for me."
"Alright then." Zhao Qinglan didn't press the matter further.
I know the children are talking about bringing back gifts for family and friends when they go back to the mainland.
Since the flight was in the afternoon, Mrs. Sun took everyone to the mall to shop.
Cheng Tao used the Hong Kong dollars his parents had given him before he left to buy a lot of things.
In addition to these, Madam Sun also prepared a large number of local specialties from the port city for them to take with them.
At the airport, both sides said their goodbyes with reluctance. Madam Sun even said, "Qinglan, please come and visit me more often when you have time."
"Okay, Auntie."
“Sister, there’s nothing shameful about your clothes and appearance. You can’t forget what I taught you as soon as you go back.”
"I understand, elder sister," Sun said helplessly.
Zhao Qinglan and the others waved goodbye only after the announcement reminded everyone to board.
Even on another plane, the children couldn't hide their excitement.
However, the feeling of going home is always different from the feeling of coming.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, Zhao Qinglan also began to miss the man at home.
They flew to Beijing and rested there for two days.
Zhao Qinglan went to meet Wei Hong and entrusted her cousin to her brother and friend.
Upon learning that the gift was from Liao Yunxiang, Wei Hong fell into a rare silence.
"Wei Hong, I don't know what's going on between you and Yun Xiang. If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. Just remember not to get hurt."
One side was her relative, and the other was her friend; that was all she could say.
Wei Hong was touched that her friend was still thinking of her even at this moment.
"I understand, thank you Qinglan."
Zhao Qinglan and the others stayed in the capital for two days before taking the train home. Only Sun Shi stayed behind; she went to stay at her youngest daughter's house to take care of her grandson.
Zhao Qinglan had long been used to her mother spending some time in the capital almost every year.
With her younger sister and uncle in the capital, she didn't have anything to worry about.
After boarding the train back to the provincial capital, they first took Cheng Tao home.
Cheng Tao felt that this trip to Hong Kong was the most fun he had ever had in his life. He had countless things to say and experiences to share with his parents, and it was rare that he didn't stick to his eldest child.
Zhao Qinglan and the children went home, and also gave Ding Yu and Liu Dandan two days off so that they could rest well.
Although Ding Yu and the others didn't feel tired at all, they had no choice but to obey their boss's orders.
In Zhao Qinglan's words, "You guys are still young. You should have fun and make friends. You can't just revolve around work and me all the time."
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan remembered her kindness, and both girls were deeply moved.
I had a lot of fun in the port city, but it wasn't my home after all. When I got home, my family felt the warmth of home.
When Li Huai returned home, he found the house quiet. He went inside and saw his wife fast asleep on the sofa.
The TV was still on inside, but the volume was turned down.
His gaze fell on his wife's face, and his expression immediately softened.
Even without the aroma of food wafting out, just seeing his wife there made him feel that the home was different.
He walked over to the sofa and picked up the sleeping person.
As soon as he moved, Zhao Qinglan groggily opened her eyes.
"Yes, you're back."
"Don't move around. I'll carry you back to your room to sleep. You'll catch a cold if you lie here."
Zhao Qinglan also enjoyed her husband's thoughtfulness, and hugged his neck and chuckled.
Don't let Li Huai's age fool you; he's almost forty, but he's been training regularly in the army, and his body is still incredibly muscular.
Zhao Qinglan wasn't fat, so he could lift his wife without any effort.
I carried him back into the room and put him on the bed, and he took off his shoes and lay down beside me.
"I've been sleeping for quite a while now, I don't want to sleep anymore, why are you lying down?" she asked her husband, puzzled.
"Even if you're not going to sleep, lie down with me a little longer, Qinglan, let's talk."
"Great! You have no idea how much fun the kids had in Hong Kong this time." They only spoke on the phone once during that trip.
Only then did she begin to tell her husband in detail about watching the horse race and the dinner party.
Upon hearing someone discriminate against his wife and children, the atmosphere around Li Huai changed instantly.
"A short-sighted person."
"That's right. Hong Kong will be returned to China in the future. Unless they cling to their colonial fathers forever, there will always be a day when they settle accounts with these people."
"Yes, we'll wait."
"Oh, right, there's something else. I always feel like there's something going on between Yunxiang and Weihong."
"Cousin and Wei Hong?" Li Huai asked in surprise.
"Yes, when I came back this time, my cousin asked me to bring a gift for Wei Hong."
"They're all adults; you can't control what happens to them," Li Huai commented objectively.
"By the way, do you know what's going on with Qu Jianshe now?" Zhao Qinglan asked curiously.
Li Huai shook his head. "I really don't know."
"Never mind, I'll ask Qingzhu another day. Maybe Qingzhu knows."
What could possibly happen between a man and a woman? Zhao Qinglan had guessed some things, but neither her cousin nor Wei Hong had said anything explicitly, so she could only pretend to be clueless.
What she's most worried about right now is how her aunt will react if the two of them actually do something serious.
It wasn't that she looked down on her friend, it was just that her aunt's family was in a situation where her cousin was their only son.
Wei Hong is not only much older than her cousin, but she is also a divorced woman. Even if her aunt usually seems to have a good temper, how would she react in this situation?
Don't let Auntie's constant complaints about her cousin not having a girlfriend fool you; she probably won't settle for just anyone when it comes to her daughter-in-law.
So if Wei Hong were to really get involved with her cousin, the road ahead would probably be difficult, which is why she said those words to Wei Hong.
Regardless, she still hopes that her cousin and friend can both live well.
However, her husband was right about one thing: she couldn't control this matter, nor could she get involved, so she should just pretend she knew nothing for now.
The couple chatted idly in bed for a long time until their second child called from outside, saying he was hungry and asking when dinner would be served.
