After coming out of the newspaper office, Xiang Hongqi stood there in a daze, looking at the corner of the house, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After a long while, he brushed the dust off his trouser legs and muttered to himself, "Old Four is going home today. Let's go to the station to see if they've arrived."
Be busy, be busy and forget all the pain.
He now remembered that he had to tell the person who sent him money every month that he would stop sending money in the future. He also had to establish his authority and ask his father to remember to take care of Old Lady Xiang.
It’s better to fill your schedule with things to do and keep yourself busy.
Xiang Hongqi went to the station to pick up his son. The letter he had sent back earlier had said that he would arrive at around one o'clock, so he could still catch the train if he went now.
After waiting for a while, I saw Xiang Lihua and the girl next to him leaving the station.
Xiang Hongqi observed her carefully and found that the girl had a square face and healthy wheat-colored skin. She had an air of majesty even when she wasn't smiling, and her height was surprisingly similar to Xiang Lihua's.
The hair is probably cut short above the ears for the convenience of training, which is very neat and clean.
Seeing them struggling to move the bags out, Xiang Hongqi quickly went over to lend a hand.
Xiang Lihua was still talking to Yang Yifei when he felt someone pulling at his hand. He quickly said, "Fellow villagers, we don't need to send you off... Dad, why is it you?"
He thought he was a fellow villager who specialized in carrying things, so he refused right away.
Many people make a living from this, helping to pick up luggage at the train station and sending it home, earning a few cents per trip, depending mainly on the amount of luggage and the length of the journey.
It's hard work, and some people are smart enough to use the cart at home to pull it, which makes it much more convenient.
In order to attract more passengers, some people will grab customers at the exit. After helping passengers carry their luggage out, some people are too shy to ask them to deliver their luggage.
When Xiang Lihua turned around, he saw that it was his biological father who came to pick him up.
He was pleasantly surprised at first, then said sourly: "Dad, I've come back so many times, and you've never taken me in. Why are you like this as soon as my wife gets home..."
He looked like a silly son of a landlord, leaving Xiang Hongqi speechless.
Xiang Hongqi was too lazy to argue with him and just gave him a look, letting him figure it out himself.
Then he smiled and said to Yang Yifei, "Miss, you must be tired from the train journey. Let me help you carry your things. Come on, give me the bag on your shoulder."
He half politely and half forcefully took the bag from Yang Yifei's shoulder. His first thought after getting it was that it was really heavy!
The second thought was to glare at Xiang Lihua fiercely. How could this bastard let his wife carry such a heavy thing?
Yang Yifei restrained his physical instincts and smiled as he let Xiang Hongqi take the things away: "Hello uncle, I'm Yang Yifei, and I'm Xiang Lihua's soon-to-be daughter-in-law."
She behaved so politely that Xiang Lihua looked at her twice in surprise.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this isn't like a normal captain, is he so gentle?
Although Xiang Hongqi was surprised by the girl's quick words, he could understand her identity after thinking about it carefully. Soldiers don't hide things and it's normal for them to speak frankly.
He said with a cheerful smile, "Let's go home first. Your mother has prepared some food to welcome you."
Being able to exchange a few pleasantries was already the highest display of his emotional intelligence when meeting his daughter-in-law. The rest was left to his wife Zhang Jidi, a man with high emotional intelligence.
The three of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the methane plant's staff quarters.
After entering the family compound, the elderly people who were originally doing nothing came over to greet the three of them out of curiosity.
"Hey, Lao Xiang, is this your fourth son's wife? What a sign! Your family is so lucky!"
"Wow, this girl is so pretty and tall. Where did she come from? She acts like she's the boss here~"
The three of them were not very good at speaking. They smiled and agreed briefly, then quickened their pace and hurried past the old men and women, leaving them to continue gossiping.
When they arrived at the door of their house, they all breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as they put down their things after entering the house, they saw that Zhang Jidi had already prepared a table of dishes.
Xiang Mianmian did not report to school, but he also helped out.
She had rushed back to attend her brother's wedding banquet. If she went to work, she would have to ask for leave within two days. Why waste that time?
Besides, she has been busy in the research institute until now, so what's wrong with taking a few days off?
When Xiang Lihua and the others returned, Xiang Mianmian, who was setting the table in the living room, said in surprise, "Dad, brother, this is your sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law~ I'm your younger sister, Xiang Mianmian."
While greeting, she secretly looked at her fourth sister-in-law Yang Yifei and felt very unbelievable about her sister-in-law's outstanding appearance.
What exactly does Fourth Sister-in-law like about her Fourth Brother Xiang Lihua?
They are about the same height and are both pretty. How can fourth brother Xiang Lihua not compare to her in any way?
Xiang Lihua actually understood the look in his youngest sister's eyes, and as soon as he put the things down, he prepared to give his sister a loving greeting.
