"No." Qin Lang patted his chest and promised, "Men should handle their own affairs. Going to the parents to complain is too cowardly. Only cowards would do that."
As long as the parents don’t come to our house, it’s fine.
Yun Qiao just turned a blind eye to the rest.
She waved her hand: "Alright, I'm sweating profusely, and my face is covered in black streaks. Let's go to the bathroom and wash our faces."
After Yun Qiao finished talking to Qin Lang, he looked at He Yan and the others and said, "You too, go wash up."
Perhaps because they were guests, Ye Kangning and Ye Yunqing did not participate in the dispute among the children in the compound, and their faces were clean.
The children scattered and rushed to the bathroom first.
Yun Qiao reminded them: "From childhood to adulthood, line up."
After these words were spoken, the children stopped arguing and lined up obediently to wash their hands.
Yun Qiao took this opportunity to go to the kitchen to see how dinner was going.
Feng Juan said, "It's almost done. Let the braised pork absorb the sauce a little more. Once it's out of the pot, the dishes will be ready. You can bring the cold dishes to the table first."
"good."
Yun Qiao responded, took the cold dishes from the chopping board and placed them on the dining table. He also reminded Li Baiqiu and Ye Yuanzhang, "Uncle and aunt, dinner will be served soon. You should go to the bathroom and wash your hands."
Li Baiqiu and Ye Yuanzhang nodded, and waited for the children to come out of the bathroom before going in to wash their hands.
When I came out again, the table was already filled with delicious dishes. Ten dishes in total, a particularly sumptuous feast, filling the table completely.
After they sat down, Feng Juan took the initiative to pick up a fried lotus root for Li Baiqiu and said with a smile: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and pick up your chopsticks."
Li Baiqiu looked around and found that only his family members were there.
Yun Qiao's father Qin Lin was not there, nor were Yuan Yuan and the former Aunt Feng.
Yun Qiao's brother Qin Zheng is still in the Northeast Army, but her sister-in-law is attending university in Beijing, and it is not known whether she lives on campus or is a day student.
She asked hesitantly, "Just us? Not waiting for anyone else?"
Feng Juan explained, "It's really unfortunate. Yun Qiao's father is on a business trip to the south these days, and we don't know when he'll be back. We don't know if we'll be able to see each other while you're here."
"As for Aunt Feng and Yuanyuan, Aunt Feng's brother passed away back home, and she has difficulty walking. Yuanyuan will accompany her back home, and the two of them will be back soon."
Li Baiqiu frowned when he heard this: "Let Yuanyuan accompany us, can she handle it? Don't let her get cheated on the road."
"It's okay. The train goes directly. I'll take Yuanyuan and the others on board. They don't have to get off along the way. When we get off the train, someone will pick us up. Besides, everyone on the railway is my father's people, and they have people he hired to look after them along the way. Nothing will happen." Yun Qiao said, "Aunt Feng's legs aren't very good, so Yuanyuan is mainly here to support her and prevent her from falling. She's almost seventy years old, and if she falls it would be terrible."
Li Baiqiu nodded. "That's right. Older people have brittle bones. A young person might be fine if they fall, but an elderly person might break all their bones if they fall."
"It's not easy to recover." Yun Qiao said, "For people over seventy years old, the mortality rate from injuries is very high."
Ye Yuanzhang said, "If that's the case, then Feng Juan shouldn't even be allowed to return. It's too far."
Feng Juan sighed and said, "I think so too, but I can't persuade him. After all, he is Aunt Feng's only relative in this world. No matter how big the conflict was before, now that he is gone, we have to send him off."
The atmosphere here was a little off, so Yun Qiao quickly changed the subject with a smile, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat."
"good."
"good."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks, and chatted about family matters while eating, picking out good things to say and nice things to say, and the atmosphere at the table quickly became harmonious again.
Over the next few days, Yun Qiao took Ye Yuanzhang, Li Baiqiu, and the others on a tour of the capital's famous landmarks. From Tiananmen Square to the Forbidden City, and from the Summer Palace to the Great Wall, the grandeur and splendor depicted in books unfolded before their eyes, and each place allowed them to experience the profound history and richness of this ancient capital.
On weekends, the kids go out with us, and they have so much fun that they almost lose themselves.
Ye Kangning and Ye Yunqing also gradually let go of their initial shyness and were no longer as shy as at the beginning. They mingled with He Yan, He Yi, Qin Lang and Qin Shuo.
But happy days are always short. Ye Yuanzhang's unit was looking for people, so he had to rush back to Shanghai University to register and could not stay in Beijing for too long. So after playing for a few days, the family prepared to set off back to Shanghai.
Before leaving, Yun Qiao borrowed a car from Qin Lin's workplace. Qin Lin hadn't returned from his business trip to Beijing yet, and the company-assigned car was parked there, kept by the driver. It was perfectly fine for Yun Qiao to borrow it for a few hours or half a day.
After borrowing the car, Yun Qiao was responsible for driving them to the train station.
Feng Juan also got up early and not only helped pack the luggage, but also prepared some special products from the capital for them to take back to Dong. This made Li Baiqiu feel very embarrassed. He felt that his family had eaten and taken things, and he thanked her repeatedly.
Arriving at the train station, Yun Qiao helped them load their luggage onto the train and warned them, "Be careful along the way. Stay alert and don't chat with strangers. I've written down my home phone number for you. When the train arrives in Shanghai, remember to call me when you get home to let me know you're safe."
Li Baiqiu held Yun Qiao's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Yun Qiao, I'm really sorry to bother you with coming to the capital this time. You've been away from school for the past few days. I won't say any more nonsense. This summer vacation, you must bring the children to Shanghai to find us. This time, we'll take good care of you and the children."
Yun Qiao nodded and agreed: "I will, aunt. You and uncle take care of yourselves. This meeting is short. We can reminisce about the past next time we meet."
The sound of the conductor's whistle was heard outside, and Yun Qiao knew that this was the signal that the train was about to start.
