In October, a few days after National Day, Uncle Qin finally arrived at Shanghai Port by ship.
To be honest, Uncle Qin Qin Shuyi had mixed feelings when he returned to his hometown. He was forced to leave his hometown by the situation in the beginning, and now it was still the situation that made him return to his hometown in a different identity. It was still the same land, and the same people, but his attitude before and after was completely different.
As soon as they got off the boat, they saw several middle-aged men in cadre uniforms walking towards them. "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, welcome, welcome. Thank you for putting aside past grudges and returning to invest in your hometown after all these years."
Qin Shuyi shook the hand in front of him and said, "Mayor Wang, you're too polite. It has always been my wife's and my wish to come back. My father also devoted his life to the development of national industry. This is also his legacy to me. It is my honor to have the opportunity to come back!"
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Qin family was one of the richest families. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, nearly half of the factories in Shanghai were run or invested by the Qin family, ranging from the textile industry to the steel industry, from people's livelihood to the nation. To be honest, when Qin Shuyi came back this time, the government departments were under a lot of pressure. After all, over the years, the factories and properties left by the Qin family had long been used for other purposes. It was impossible for them to return them all to the Qin family. They really didn't have the ability to do it!
Qin Shuyi and his wife Liang Yuxi did not stay in Shanghai for long. After meeting with the city leaders on the first day, they had dinner together and briefly discussed the follow-up arrangements. That night, the two elders took their daughter-in-law Xiao Chuchu, daughter Qin Wan, grandchildren, and little grandson on board the ship and sailed to Tianjin Port overnight.
Qin Shuyi and Liang Yuxi are both looking forward to seeing their sister and her children after not seeing them for more than ten years. As for the things in Shanghai, they will leave it to their son Qin Mo and son-in-law Li Ye. The future belongs to the young, and they are old now, so it is time for them to enjoy their retirement and the blessing of their children and grandchildren.
At noon the next day, Qin Shuni, Shen Yiyuan, and their three children were waiting at Tianjin Port early.
In the distance, the ship had not yet arrived at the port. Looking at the few people in her memory on the deck, Mother Shen waved with tears in her eyes. After more than ten years of absence, her eldest brother and sister-in-law had grown old.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
As soon as the boat stopped, Qin Shuyi couldn't wait to run off the boat. He was almost sixty years old, but when he saw his sister, he still ran towards her with all his strength as he did when he was young.
"Shu Ni."
"Big brother."
The brother and sister hugged each other tightly, and Mother Shen laughed and cried at the same time. Shen Yiyuan, who was standing next to them, felt very embarrassed at this time. He wondered if his wife would kick him off the bed at night if he also hugged his uncle.
After waiting for a minute, Mother Shen hugged her eldest sister-in-law and continued crying. There were only two children in Mother Shen's generation of the Qin family, and their parents died early. Her eldest brother was eight years older than her, and she was still in school when he married her eldest sister-in-law, so she and her eldest sister-in-law had a very good relationship. They were both aunt and sister-in-law and mother and daughter.
"Sister-in-law, I miss you so much."
Liang Yuxi hugged her sister-in-law and said, "Me too. When I was in Switzerland, I heard about the situation back home and was worried about you every day. Fortunately, it's all over. Your eldest brother was so excited from the day he boarded the ship that he couldn't sleep during the time he was drifting on the sea. If it weren't for the speed of the ship, he would have wanted to fly like an airplane."
After the elders had finished reminiscing about the past, Shen Anning and her younger brother and sister were pulled over to greet their uncle and aunt. Cousin Qin Wan gave her a look, just like when they were children. This was a code that they had a little secret to share.
When An Yu and An Xuan were born, my uncle and his family had already gone abroad. This was the first time they had seen each other in so many years. As well as Qin Mo's cousin's wife and their children, they were delayed at the dock for twenty minutes just to meet their relatives.
It was noon and the sun was quite scorching. Shen Yiyuan looked at the people who were still chatting and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, let's take a car back first. Everything has been arranged at home."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get home. By the way, there are some machines and equipment that An Ning wants on the ship."
Shen Anning smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, you've worked hard. Don't worry, everyone has been arranged. Take down the luggage you brought first, and they will load the machines onto the truck and take them back."
Shen's father and mother and uncle and aunt were in the same car. They had a lot to talk about, so Shen Anning drove with her cousin's wife and cousin. Xiao Chuchu was six years older than Shen Anning, and Qin Wan was five years older than Shen Anning. They were about the same age and could talk to each other easily.
Time passed quickly as they chatted all the way. This time, the place where Uncle Qin and his family lived was arranged by Shen An Ning. When she asked her uncle to help her buy the machine, she and her mother knew that her uncle would definitely not want the money. It happened that Shen An Ning had quite a few courtyard houses, and one of them had three courtyards, which was very close to where the Shen family lived now, and it was very suitable for her uncle and his family to live in.
When the car drove to the gate of the yard, Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, and Aunt Shen were already waiting with Erbao.
Qin Shuyi hurried forward to greet them, "Uncle Chen, Auntie, long time no see, you two look in good health."
"Hahaha, you're not bad, it seems you've been doing well abroad these years, and you haven't lost face for us Chinese."
"Come in quickly, I've prepared food for you, let's eat and talk."
After dinner, Uncle Qin took out the gifts he bought for everyone. There were six suitcases full of things he bought for the Shen family, including clothes, shoes, perfumes, some special ornaments, and some snacks from abroad. In short, the suitcases were filled with random things.
Uncle Qin has been abroad these years. He has made a lot of money by opening a factory and a freight company with his previous family background. This time, he gave each of Shen Anning and his children a gift of 100,000 yuan!
