They are all mothers, and they bring their children with them, chatting about their children, life, and marriage. Chatting is the best way to bring people closer, and the more they chat, the closer they become.
The next day after the rain stopped, Yun Qiao and his friends prepared to return.
This time, they were in no rush for the trip to Northeast China, so they didn't choose to fly. After all, plane tickets were too expensive. Two one-way tickets would cost He Tingjun more than a month's salary, which was a bit too extravagant.
Before leaving, He Tingjun took Yun Qiao and the children to the nursing home again to meet the old lady.
The old lady's mental state was not very good. The sudden death of her husband was a great blow to her. Even with the company of her son and daughter-in-law, she became visibly weaker.
The aunt sighed and said, "Life is a breath. When your grandfather passed away, he took your grandmother's spirit with him. The doctor said that your grandmother's condition is very dangerous. She might die one day..."
He Tingjun was distressed when he heard this and said, "Aunt, my parents are not in Shanghai. I'd like you to take care of my grandmother."
The aunt nodded: "Don't worry, I'm here."
It was still a rainy day when we left Shanghai. After getting on the train, it started slowly and soon left the train station far behind.
Visibility is low on rainy days, and only vague fog can be seen outside the window. The entire city is shrouded in fog, and only vague outlines can be seen.
The two children were just getting on the bus, laughing and playing on the lower bunk. The haze in He Tingjun's heart was gradually dispelled by the children's innocent laughter like silver bells.
The further north the train goes, the cooler the weather becomes. After passing Shanhaiguan, with the windows open, a cool breeze blows in.
In mid-August, the temperature in Beidahuang had already dropped by 30 degrees Celsius. It was not stuffy at all when I sat on the bus to the field office.
The family got off the bus at the 10th Regiment Headquarters and walked for another half an hour to reach the base.
Yun Qiao bought a pound of freshly baked egg cakes for the two children. They were crispy on the outside and soft, sweet and fragrant when they took a bite. After the two children finished eating, they jumped and ran forward without the adults having to spend any extra effort to hold them.
The family walked towards the base facing the sunset. When they entered the family compound, they ran into Feng Juan and Yuan Yuan taking Qin Zheng and Yan Jingwan's two boys to play in the small square.
The two children are three years old and just over one year old, and they are both at the peak of their energy.
The older one is very naughty and can't be out of anyone's sight for a moment. The younger one is over one year old and can't walk steadily, so can't be let go for a moment. If it weren't for Yuanyuan's help, Feng Juan would not be able to keep an eye on these two children even if she died of exhaustion.
"elder sister!"
Yuanyuan saw Yunqiao first and immediately reached out to pull Feng Juan's sleeve, pointing in Yunqiao's direction: "Mom, my sister is here."
Feng Juan looked up and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "You guys are here so soon."
"I'll come over as soon as I'm done." Yun Qiao nodded. As he spoke, He Yan and He Yi came to Qin Lang and Qin Shuo, and the children gathered around them and started chattering.
Feng Juan held He Yan's hand and said, "You must be tired after walking all the way here. Let's go home first and talk there."
"Tuo."
Everyone walked home, He Tingjun walked in front, and several children ran after him.
Feng Juan then fell behind and spoke to Yun Qiao, "During the days you were away, that female comrade surnamed Wang from Shuanglindong called you twice. First, she called the family compound, and the next day, she called the military uniform factory. That's two calls in three days. I don't know what she wanted to talk to you about."
"Wang Qiuju?" Yun Qiao asked.
"That's her. I remember you told me before that you lived next door to each other when you were kids, and you had a pretty good relationship." Feng Juan asked, "Would you like to give her a call when you have time?"
