He could understand that Feng Juan was reluctant to leave after finally seeing her daughter whom she had been separated from for eighteen years, but Yun Qiao lived in a small room where she lived and worked, and it was suitable for her alone, but it would be too crowded if there was one more person.
Qin Zheng frowned and said, "Aunt Feng, Qiaoqiao's place is too small to accommodate so many people. You should come back with me. I have asked someone to apply for a family housing complex in advance, so we can move in directly."
"It's okay. There's a kang in the house, so it's warm. I can sleep on the floor." Feng Juan was determined to stay and bond with Yun Qiao, so she said, "Just take Yuanyuan and Aunt Feng with you. Plus, they really don't have enough space."
"If you don't leave, will Yuanyuan be willing to go with me?" Qin Zheng made an excuse.
Feng Juan said: "Yuanyuan is very obedient. She has always slept with Aunt Feng. As long as Aunt Feng gets in the car, she will follow."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Feng Juan, Qin Zheng was at a loss and fell silent.
Yun Qiao also wanted to talk to Feng Juan about family matters. They had just become relatives, so she knew nothing about the family affairs.
Yun Qiao said to Qin Zheng, "Brother, the kang I sleep on is 1.2 meters wide, so we can sleep there even if we squeeze together. If mom doesn't want to leave, let her stay and sleep on the same kang with me."
Qin Zheng hesitated: "It will be uncomfortable to sleep in such a crowded place, right?"
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay. We won't be sleeping in a crowded space for a long time. We'll just have to make do for one night. We'll be fine after a while."
Feng Juan also quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, it's just a temporary sleepover, it doesn't matter if it's a little crowded."
Having said that, Qin Zheng couldn't force Feng Juan to leave anymore, so he could only nod and agree: "Okay, Aunt Feng, you can stay with your sister for the next day. I'll take Aunt Feng and Yuanyuan back to the army and pick you up early the next morning."
"It's not early this morning." Feng Juan said, "We've been on the train for several days, and everyone is tired. Let's take a good rest and recuperate. Xiao Zheng, I've relied on you to take care of me on the train these few days, so you must be feeling even more tired. Listen to Auntie and have a good rest. It's not too late to pick me up the day after tomorrow. Auntie is in no hurry to leave."
"It's okay, Auntie. I've asked for a long vacation, and tomorrow is my holiday, so I can come just in time."
Qin Zheng also wanted to spend more time with his sister. While he was still on vacation, he had to come! And he had to come every day!
"It's up to you. You can come anytime you want, but I won't leave." Feng Juan said, "I want to stay a few more days."
"knew."
Before it got dark, Qin Zheng drove away with Yuanyuan and Aunt Feng.
Not long after Qin Zheng drove away, the company's call to leave work rang.
Yun Qiao usually eats in the cafeteria. There are few dishes in the kitchen except some dry goods and noodles. It is difficult to entertain Feng Juan even if he has no rice.
She took out her money and meat coupons and prepared to go to the cafeteria to ask the cook, Squad Leader Lin, for two stir-fries.
"Mom, wait for me in the room for a while. I'm going to the cafeteria to buy some food."
Feng Juan immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Yun Qiao waved her hand: "No, Mom. It's getting dark and cold outside. I can go alone. It's warm inside. You can stay inside."
"It's because it's cold outside that I have to go with you." Feng Juan said, having already taken down the scarf hanging behind the door and was tying it around her neck. She said as a matter of course, "You're freezing outside. Even if it's warm inside, I, as your mother, can't stay here."
"Let's go." Feng Juan tied her scarf and put on her hat, walked up to Yun Qiao, and took her hand: "It's just right, I also want to see where you live."
Yun Qiao didn't refuse again and nodded, "Okay."
After walking out of the bathroom, Yun Qiao closed the door, and the two women walked towards the cafeteria hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder.
As they walked, Yun Qiao introduced the layout of the company to Feng Juan.
"This side of the bathroom is the company headquarters, and the front row is the office for the company cadres. The bathroom is on the far right of this row of rooms. Next to it is the communications room, where the communications officer, Comrade Xiao Lu, lives. The rows of rooms at the back are allocated to the transport team and the maintenance platoon, and many educated youth and veterans live there."
"Outside the team headquarters is the company family area. Our company commander, instructor, and women's director all live here.
"The cafeteria is further back."
"Look, that big yard next to the cafeteria over there is our company's educated youth compound. I lived there when I first came to the company, and later I moved to the team headquarters' bathroom after I became a guard."
At the canteen entrance, Yun Qiao pointed at the educated youth compound in front, turned around and talked to Feng Juan. He didn't look at the road for a moment and almost bumped into the female educated youth who had just finished work.
"careful!"
