On Anzi's last day in the hospital, Shen Honggang arrived in the capital from the forest farm. He was worried about Shen Yulan taking Anzi home, so he came to pick her up in person.

Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun originally wanted to invite Shen Honggang and his family of three to their home for dinner, but they were afraid that Old Man Qin would feel bad if everyone left, so they changed their minds.
Shen Jingyan prepared a table full of delicious dishes and packed them all up to take to the hospital.
Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian also took some time to come to the hospital.
They warmly invited Old Man Qin to have dinner with them, and everyone was like family, chatting and laughing, not at all distant.
Old Qin praised Gu Zhiyun, Shen Jingyan, Shen Yulan and An Zi one by one.
Hearing Shen Honggang's words, Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian were overjoyed.
After praising them, he couldn't help but sigh, "Why are all the good kids someone else's?"
After finishing their meal, Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian rushed off to work.
Shen Honggang's family had sleeper tickets for the 8 PM train, and they were busy packing their luggage.
Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan are starting school tomorrow.

Old Qin's cheerful mood during the meal quickly faded. He leaned back on the bed with a worried expression and sighed:
"Sigh, you're all either going home or starting school, leaving only this old man. If Anzi leaves, another old man will come to this ward, and the two old men will be sighing face to face. What will we do then!"
Despite Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun's repeated promises to visit Old Man Qin on the weekend, Old Man Qin still looked worried.
Shen Jingyan joked, "Grandpa Qin, how about I give you some college entrance exam review materials? You can work hard to get into university and be in the same class as me. I'll keep you company every day, okay?"
Everyone in the room burst into laughter, with Old Man Qin laughing the loudest.
Gu Zhiyun said to Shen Jingyan, "Jingya, you stay and talk with your uncle a little longer. I'm going down to the department store to buy some local specialties."
Anzi insisted on going with Gu Zhiyun, and Gu Zhiyun agreed.
Shen Jingyan and Shen Honggang chatted about the situation in their hometown.
A short while later, Shen Hong went downstairs to get medicine for Anzi. Not long after he left, someone appeared who surprised Shen Jingyan.
"Aunt Qiao?"

It was Qiao Suxin. She entered the ward carrying bags of gifts, greeted Old Man Qin first, and then gave Shen Jingyan a warm hug.
Old Qin laughed and said, "You're such a busy man, you don't even get to eat New Year's Eve dinner, how come you have time to come see me?"
Qiao Suxin divided the gifts into two piles, placing one pile on Anzi's hospital bed and the other on Old Man Qin's bedside table.
"Uncle Qin, I'm so sorry. Honglin said he wanted to come along, but he was called away halfway. So I came to see you on behalf of my father."
Old Qin smiled broadly: "It's enough that you have the intention! Why bother making the trip yourself!"
Qiao Suxin then pointed to the pile of gifts on Anzi's hospital bed and said:
“Jingya, it’s good that we came before Anzi was discharged from the hospital. Your grandfather has been talking about it! Feifei and I bought these things randomly, and we don’t know if Anzi will like them.”
Speaking of Feifei, Shen Jingyan asked, "Why didn't Feifei come?"
It had been a while since Shen Jingyan had seen Feifei, and she really missed this talkative and cheerful girl.
Qiao Suxin said, "Her! She's rehearsing some kind of play with the school's arts troupe. They said they'll be performing at the Imperial Military University when school starts. She's been very busy all summer!"
When the military academy was mentioned, Shen Jingyan smiled.
The little girl seems to want to perform for Yang Zinuo.
Old Qin glanced at Shen Jingyan, then at Qiao Suxin, clapped his hands, and laughed loudly:
"Haha, Suxin, when you mentioned Feifei, I thought Feifei had grown up when I first met Jingya! But today, you and Jingya look even more alike!"
Shen Yulan, who was tidying up her things, also looked up.
When Shen Jingyan introduced Qiao Suxin just now, she felt a sense of familiarity towards this aunt.
It seemed that meeting Qiao Suxin had awakened distant and vague memories of her childhood.
But I can't remember where I've seen it before.
Just as she was deep in thought, Shen Honggang walked in.
"Big brother, you must be Jingya's uncle? I've heard Honglin mention you before! When the old man was at the forest farm, he was very fortunate to have your help!"
Qiao Suxin walked up to Shen Honggang and greeted him warmly.
"Thud—"
The bag of medicine in Shen Honggang's hand fell to the ground.
His eyes were fixed on Qiao Suxin, and his lips trembled.
Qiao Suxin looked at Shen Honggang with a bit of confusion.
"...Big brother?"
Shen Honggang suddenly became emotional, gripped Qiao Suxin's hand tightly, and said in a choked voice:
"Qiuye! Where have you been all these years! I've been looking for you for over ten years! You...you..."
Autumn leaves? Fallen autumn leaves?
Shen Jingyan stared at Qiao Suxin in astonishment.

Shen Qiuye, isn't she Shen Honggang's younger sister and Shen Jingyan's biological mother?
Qiao Suxin politely asked, puzzled, "Brother, you must have mistaken me for someone else. My name is Qiao Suxin."
Shen Honggang became even more agitated: "Impossible! Qiu Ye, I'm your own brother! How could I possibly mistake you!"
Shen Yulan's memory was slowly awakened. She remembered that the elegant and beautiful aunt in front of her was her aunt who had been out of contact for many years.
When my aunt left home to study at university, she had just been born. My aunt only came home during winter and summer vacations. Later, my aunt suddenly lost contact with me, leaving behind only Shen Jingyan, who was less than a year old.
