There are some old photos in the living room, recording the Qin family's past.
There were photos of Qin Lin and Feng Juan when they were young, photos of Qin Zheng and other children when they were in the army, wedding photos of Yun Qiao and He Tingjun, family photos, wedding photos of Qin Zheng and Yan Jingwan, and later photos of He Yan, He Yi, Qin Lang, and Qin Shuo that Yun Qiao sent from the Great Northern Wilderness.
Although it was Yun Qiao's first time to come to this house, there were already traces of her presence in this house.
Aunt Feng was busy pouring water for everyone, while she kept telling Feng Juan about the various things that happened in the compound when she was not around.
Aunt Feng is old and her legs and feet are not in good condition, so Feng Juan asked her to stop working because they are not strangers anyway.
She stood up and called Yun Qiao to choose a room. "There are quite a few empty rooms in the house. Apart from the bedroom upstairs and the room on the first floor near the stairs where Feng Juan lives, you can choose any of the other rooms."
"Just look at which one you like and stay in that one when you're ready."
Yun Qiao looked at Yuanyuan and asked, "Which room did Yuanyuan live in before?"
"Yuanyuan used to live in the easternmost room on the second floor," Feng Juan replied.
"Yuanyuan, why don't you still live in that room now?" she asked Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan shook her head: "But I want to live next to Yanyan now."
"Auntie, how about we two live in one room?" He Yan raised his hand and spoke.
Yuanyuan's eyes lit up and she nodded happily: "Okay."
Yun Qiao was puzzled: "Yanyan, why did you suddenly think of living in the same room with your aunt?"
Feng Juan also said: "There are many empty rooms at home, and one room is enough for each person to live in."
He Yan was too embarrassed to say that he was scared because he had just arrived here and didn't dare to live alone, so he just said, "I like my aunt, I want to live with her, okay? Okay!"
She pulled Yun Qiao's hand and spoke coquettishly in a soft voice.
Yun Qiao couldn't stand her coquettishness and surrendered in no time: "Okay, okay, as long as you two are willing, you two can stay in the same room."
"Great!" He Yan jumped up happily, grabbed Yuanyuan's hand, and was about to run inside to see the room.
He Yi is not yet three years old and is far from being old enough to sleep in his own room, so he still lives with Yun Qiao and his wife.
He Yan took Yuanyuan for a run around the house and chose a room on the western side of the first floor with a balcony. He said, "Mom, let's live in this room!"
"There's a rose tree outside this room, and the flowers are so beautiful."
It was agreed that the child could choose his own room, so Yun Qiao naturally agreed: "Okay."
All the rooms are cleaned by Aunt Feng all the time, so they are not dirty. You can just sweep and wipe them and move in.
On Yun Qiao's first day back in Beijing, Qin Lin specially postponed his work and left work early to reunite with his family.
He walked into the house, looked at Yun Qiao, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Yun Qiao, my child, welcome home."
As he spoke, he opened his arms towards Yun Qiao, and Yun Qiao obediently walked forward and gently hugged him.
"Dad, long time no see."
"Yeah, it's been a long time. The last time we met was briefly at the airport, so it's been quite a while." Qin Lin sighed with emotion, his eyes falling on the two children behind Yun Qiao, his eyes full of love. "Both children have grown so big."
Yun Qiao waved to He Yan and He Yi, reminding them: "This is your grandpa, call him grandpa."
Qin Lin squatted down, smiled and waved to the two children, saying, "Come on, kids, let grandpa hold you."
He said that he was old and not shy, and threw himself into Qin Lin's arms with confidence.
He Yi was a little shy, and when Qin Lin called him, he took two steps back and hid behind Yun Qiao.
Qin Lin didn't mind and continued talking to the two children with a smile.
In the evening, Qin Lin asked Xiao Li to buy some food from the restaurant and send it over. The family sat together and had a simple reunion dinner.
It was just that Yun Qiao and the others had just returned from a train ride after several days. After sleeping, they had to make the beds, clean the room and pack their luggage. They were really tired. Qin Lin saw that they were talking non-stop, so he didn't keep them chatting for too long. After dinner, they chatted for a while and then let them go back to the room to rest.
Yun Qiao took a shower, lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately. He went back to sleep and woke up naturally the next day.
The curtains in the room were very light-blocking. When Yun Qiao opened his eyes, the room was pitch black and he didn't know the exact time.
He was the only one on the bed. He Yi and He Tingjun were nowhere to be seen. They must have gotten up long ago.
Yun Qiao didn't lie in bed either. He lifted the quilt and slowly got up. He changed into some light clothes, put on some new slippers, and walked out of the room.
In the living room, He Yi and He Yan were leaning over the wall with photos, trying to identify the people in the photos, while He Tingjun was sitting on the sofa beside them, reading a newspaper.
Yuanyuan and Aunt Fengjuan are not here.
Yun Qiao glanced at the wall clock and found that it was almost ten o'clock.
"Oh my god, it's almost noon." She couldn't help but complain to He Tingjun: "Why didn't you wake me up this morning?"
"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't have the heart to wake you up." He Tingjun smiled and said, "You haven't rested well on the train these past few days, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer."
Yun Qiao whispered, "It's only the first day here, and you're already sleeping in. How bad."
He Tingjun laughed: "Just sleep, what are you afraid of? It's your own home anyway, no one will say anything to you."
Yun Qiao: "That's true."
"Are you still having breakfast? Mom left some steamed buns and soy milk for you." He Tingjun asked, "Or do you want to eat it later with lunch?"
"I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth yet. It will probably be eleven o'clock by the time I finish cleaning up." Yun Qiao said, "Forget it. I'm not hungry now. I'd better wait a while and eat it together with lunch."
He Tingjun nodded: "Okay."
"Where are the other people at home?" Yun Qiao asked.
"Dad went to work, and Mom and Grandma Feng took Yuanyuan to the department store." He Tingjun said, "Mom said the house was missing a lot of things and needed to be bought bit by bit."
Yun Qiao hummed and said, "I understand."
She turned and went into the bathroom to wash her face, brush her teeth, and apply some face cream.
After tidying himself up, Yun Qiao came out of the bathroom and asked He Tingjun, "When are you going to report to your new unit?"
He Tingjun said: "Don't worry. There's still time before the end of the month."
