In the evening, at the town government staff quarters, the door of the Ji family was knocked again, and a guest came.
As soon as he closed the door, the neighbor next door frowned in confusion when he heard the noise. Why did so many guests come to the Ji family, a family that usually no one visited, in the past two days?
At the Ji family, Ji's mother looked at Qin Ying standing in front of her, and was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Qin Ying was equally excited. She called out the name she had known in her youth with a trembling voice, "Sister Qiuqiu."
When Ji's mother heard this trembling voice, her heart almost broke. She couldn't help but hug Qin Ying tightly, closed her eyes, and cried silently. The last time she saw Yingying, she was still a little girl. Now she has been married and had children, and the traces of time have appeared on her face.
But just one look at her could bring her back to her memories of the past.
"Yingying, Yingying." Ji's mother kept calling her name, and the two former sisters cried together.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, this is a happy event." Father Ji patted Mother Ji's shoulder to comfort her, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
"Wife, don't cry. Your eyes are going to be hurt from crying." Su Aimin said worriedly. Qin Ying's tears have hardly stopped since she knew about this. Now her eyes are swollen like walnuts.
It took a long time for the two women to control their emotions, sit down and talk slowly. Ji Yue and Su Qingyun sat quietly further away to leave space for them.
"Aimin, right?" Father Ji greeted Su Aimin first. "It's all thanks to you for taking care of Yingying over the years. If the teachers knew that Yingying is living such a happy life now, they would be relieved."
Mother Ji had a kind smile on her face, "It's really all thanks to you."
She knew how difficult it was for a teenage girl to make a living in that era. It was unfortunate that Yingying had been separated from her family for so many years, but she was also lucky to have a husband who loved her so much and to have a smart and lovely daughter.
"Brother Ji, Sister Qiu, I am Qin Ying's lover, it is natural for me to take care of her." Su Aimin smiled naively.
Last night, he had heard Qin Ying talk a lot about their past, so he naturally knew how familiar the Ji family was with the Qin family, so his attitude was naturally very good.
"Sister Qiuqiu, please tell me about my parents' situation." Qin Ying asked impatiently.
She didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about the condition of her parents, and her heart was still worried.
"Don't worry." Ji's mother smiled gently. "Teacher and Master are doing pretty well in the new province. Although it's a world away from their lives in the capital, it's still manageable. Because of some issues, they were assigned to a farm over there for labor reform. But because Teacher was a university professor before, the people there still respect intellectuals, so they let her teach at the farm's elementary school."
"As for my master." When she said this, Ji's mother sighed, and Qin Ying's heart suddenly weighed on her.
She asked anxiously, "Sister Qiuqiu, how is my dad?"
"Master is fine, but you know his temper. He's stubborn to begin with. He's been leading soldiers his whole life, and at the end of his life, he's been sent to a place like that to lead the militia. How could he feel good? He simply didn't lead the militia at all. He just spent all day doing farm work with the other people undergoing labor reform. Even the teacher couldn't persuade him."
"But the two of them are living a good life. People over there look at them as a teacher and a veteran hero who fought in wars, and they all respect them."
"We got in touch because an acquaintance of ours went there and saw the teachers and the others."
Ji's mother told Qin Ying all the information about the two of them. Qin Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they were doing well, and he visibly relaxed.
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Qin Ying repeated this sentence twice, with a look of relief on her face.
"Last time we received a letter from the teacher, he also asked us to keep an eye out for news about you." Ji's mother said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would run into each other so soon. I have to thank the two children for this."
Ji Yue and Su Qingyun, who were suddenly mentioned, lowered their heads tacitly and took a look at the wound on Ji Yue's hand. It is true that sometimes, a blessing in disguise.
"Sister Qiuqiu." Qin Ying looked a little hesitant, but still asked, "Do you know why my parents were assigned to the new province?"
The new province is on the edge of China, and the climate is worse than in the inland. Why were they sent there?
"This..." Qin Ying's question made Ji's mother look a little embarrassed, and she glanced at her lover.
Father Ji nodded and said, "Go ahead, there's nothing you can't tell me. Yingying will know it sooner or later."
Qin Ying looked at the expressions of the two and frowned, "Sister Qiuqiu, Brother Yu, what's going on?"
"Alas." Mother Ji sighed before she even started to speak. "You know, with the character of Teacher and Grandmaster, they would never do anything wrong. They were just too trusting of the people around them, and that's why they were betrayed. You can be on guard day and night, but it's hard to guard against thieves in your own home."
"Sister Qiuqiu, what do you mean by this?" Qin Ying's face changed immediately when he heard the word "traitor".
Mother Ji took a look at her expression and said a name, "Yingying, do you still remember Lu Cheng?
"Lu Cheng? Of course I remember." Qin Ying's eyes suddenly widened. "Sister Qiuqiu, you're not going to tell me it was Lu Cheng, are you? He's my father's most trusted subordinate. No, it's impossible!"
Lu Cheng was a subordinate promoted by her father Qin Weiguo. It was no exaggeration to say that he was his right-hand man. He had been very kind to her, and her father always treated him as his own son. Sometimes he treated him so well that even she was jealous.
