"When did it come? Why haven't I heard mom mention it before?"
"I just got up the day before yesterday. Something happened at work, so I took a temporary leave. I didn't think about leaving before." He Tingyu said.
After graduating from university, he was assigned to work in a research institute in Beijing, but Yun Qiao didn't know which institute it was.
It is said to be a very important confidential unit, so even the family members cannot be told what specific research is carried out.
After hearing what He Tingyu said, He Tingjun did not ask any further questions.
He replied calmly, indicating that he understood, and then asked him, "How long can you stay at home this time?"
He Tingyu shook his head: "I'm not sure about the details. I'll have to wait for the company's notification."
He Tingjun said: "There are still twenty days until the wedding. Can I stay here until the wedding?"
He Tingyu still shook his head: "Not sure."
He Tingjun hummed and said, "Okay."
He understood the nature of He Tingyu's work, but he couldn't help but say, "If it's not too urgent and you can stay a few more days, try to stay as long as possible. We two brothers haven't spent four months together."
Both brothers left their parents' home when they were young and grew up in their grandparents' home, so naturally they have a very deep relationship.
He Tingyu smiled: "Okay, I'll try my best."
The car turned into a long, dark street with dim street lights. Yun Qiao couldn't see the surroundings clearly through the car window. The only thing he could be sure of was that from the moment he turned into the long street, the messy houses on the roadside disappeared, replaced by neat streets and tall, walled courtyards.
At the end of the long street is a heavy iron gate, which is tightly closed. There are gatehouses and guards standing on both sides.
He Tingyu parked the car outside the iron gate, shifted gears, pulled up the handbrake, got out of the car, walked to the gate booth on the right, said something to the guard on duty, and then the guard opened the iron gate.
He Tingyu got back into the car, shifted the gear again, and lightly stepped on the accelerator. The jeep then slowly drove into the military compound and headed towards the He family's location.
It was almost midnight and the entire military compound was hushed. It was pitch black with only a few lights still on.
It was not until the car passed through the entire military compound and reached the last row that Yun Qiao discovered that there was a two-story building with bright lights on.
The jeep stopped in front of the small building.
"It's done."
He Tingjun got out of the car first, helped Yun Qiao open the back door, took He Yan from Yun Qiao and held him in his arms, and then Yun Qiao got out of the car.
It took a while to get off the bus, and the people inside had already heard the noise and came out.
He Tingjun's mother, Shi Shan, came out of the house with a smile on her face. "I've been waiting all day, and it's finally here," she said.
Yun Qiao called her, "Mom."
"Hey." Shi Shan responded happily, took her hand, and said, "It's dark outside, let's go inside first."
Yun Qiao nodded and was led into the house by Shi Shan's hand.
As Shi Shan walked forward, she glanced expectantly at He Tingjun's arms, a smile in her eyes and eyebrows, and asked him, "Is Yanyan asleep?"
"I fell asleep on the plane and haven't woken up since." He Tingjun finished speaking and asked, "Why are you alone? Where are the others?"
Shi Shan said, "The child couldn't hold on any longer, so He Ying went upstairs to sleep with him. Your father and I were waiting for you, but he got a call around ten o'clock. Don't worry about him; he'll come back when he's done."
He Tingjun nodded.
Shi Shan said, "Yanyan is asleep. You can also take her to the room to sleep and put her on the bed."
She said, "Knowing you were coming, I cleaned up the room for you early this morning and even tossed and dried the bedding several times. It's on the first floor. Come with me."
"good."
The room Shi Shan had prepared for them was located to the west of the living room. It was a small, independent suite with a bathroom inside. It was a self-contained room when the door was closed. It was connected to the outside world and provided some free space, making it perfect for a timid first-time bride.
Arranging Yun Qiao and his wife to live in this room can be said to be very thoughtful.
The bed was made, with fresh sheets and quilt covers, and it still had a faint scent of soap.
He Tingjun took off He Yan's shoes and gently put her on the bed.
He Tingyu also brought the luggage over. He was very polite and did not go into the house. He just put the luggage on the ground at the door.
Shi Shan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at He Yan's sleeping face. She couldn't seem to get enough of looking at it. From time to time, she would pull up her little hand and kiss the palm and back of He Yan's hand.
When the grandmother saw her granddaughter for the first time, she felt extremely close to her.
She was lost in thought for a long moment before she suddenly remembered something else. She quickly sat up from the bed and asked with concern, "You've been on the road all day. You must be exhausted. Have you had dinner? Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
After hearing what Shi Shan said, Yun Qiao was indeed a little hungry.
She was airsick at the time and did not eat the dinner provided on the plane.
But it was so late, and Yun Qiao felt a little embarrassed to ask her mother-in-law, whom she was not very familiar with, to cook for her.
At this time, He Tingjun took the initiative to say: "I am a little hungry. What do you have at home? Just make something, no need to make too much trouble."
Shi Shan nodded and said, "Then I'll make you a bowl of noodles. I still have some left from the instant noodles I bought a few days ago."
He Tingjun said: "僢."
Shi Shan looked at Yun Qiao and smiled at her, "Yun Qiao, wait in the house for a while, mom will cook the noodles, it will be ready soon."
Yun Qiao hummed, "Thank you for your help."
Shi Shan smiled and said, "We're family, you're welcome."
