All the old man and woman’s relatives have sacrificed their lives, but they have no shortage of people to take care of them.
But we are all staff members, so it’s hard to tell the truth.
The appearance of Jian Yuelan just made up for this, and the two elders pulled her over and started chatting happily.
She listened carefully, occasionally responding. When the old man mentioned Grandpa, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandpa, don't you know that you two are in Ancheng?"
If we knew this, we would definitely ask them to come and visit us.
Instead of recognizing each other through Lin Qingyuan.
The two elders fell silent at the same time. After a while, the old man sighed and said with a heavy face, "Something happened at that time, and I lost contact with your grandfather and his group of old friends."
He didn't say what it was, and Jian Yuelan didn't ask.
Seeing the two of them looking sad again, she quickly changed the subject, "I embroider three pieces in total?"
The two elders' attention was instantly diverted. The old lady looked at the family portrait and hesitated, "Will it take a long time to embroider just this one family portrait?"
She hummed, "A conservative estimate is a year."
The family portrait has a large background and involves many characters. With so many characters having different skin colors and clothes, hundreds of different colors of embroidery threads are needed.
Adding the splitting of the thread and other things, even if you embroider non-stop, it will take at least five or six months to complete.
However, it is impossible for her to embroider day and night, so the timeline will have to be extended.
"Then embroider the photos first."
The old man made the final decision, "The family portrait can be held later. I think with my wife and I's physical fitness, we can live another two or three years without any problem."
"May you two live a long and healthy life."
Jian Yuelan said sincerely, and Lin Qingyuan immediately responded, "Comrade Jian is right, you two will definitely live to be over a hundred."
This was something the two elders could not even imagine, but they still felt happy.
If nothing else, they just want to live a few more days and watch the country for which they have devoted their youth and blood become better day by day.
"Xiao Jian, stay for dinner. Xiao Lin, you stay too."
The old man was very happy. He had a family portrait and he also got to see his friend’s granddaughter-in-law. Today was a good day.
"Have a drink with me."
He made the final decision and Lin Qingyuan agreed readily, but Jian Yuelan was a little embarrassed.
"Can I accompany you next time?"
"What? You don't even give grandpa and grandma a little face when you meet them?" The old man glared at her and looked at her with an unhappy face.
Jian Yuelan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She showed the certificate to the old man, "Uncle Tan only gave me a certificate for two days. If I don't go back today, I'll be labeled a migrant worker."
People nowadays cannot move around freely, unlike in later generations where they can travel around the world with just a mobile phone and an ID card.
In the 1970s, you needed proof to travel anywhere. Without proof, you couldn't find a place to stay, and if you were reported, you would be arrested as a vagrant.
The old man looked at the proof and glared, "This little Tan is too unreliable."
"No, I have to call and scold him."
As he said this, the old man was about to get up to make a phone call, but was stopped by the old lady.
"You need to change your temper. Xiao Tan doesn't know we're here, and there's no way he knew Xiao Jian would have such a fateful encounter with us. Stop making things difficult for the child."
Jian Yuelan nodded and coaxed the old man in a gentle voice, "How about this? When I finish embroidering the photos and send them to you two, ask Uncle Tan to give me a few more days of certification so I can stay with you two."
"You said that? I'm afraid you're just trying to fool us two old fools, right?!"
The old man grinned with joy, but pretended to be reserved and looked at her sideways, as if he didn't care.
"I said, if Xiaoye is here, I will bring him along too."
This is possible.
The old man couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, his eyes, which were not cloudy at all, sparkled. "Then it's settled."
"It's settled."
After bidding farewell to the two elders who were reluctant to leave, Jian Yuelan and Lin Qingyuan left together and had to go back to the Friendship Store to get the embroidery cloth and thread.
On the way, Jian Yuelan asked him, "Manager Lin, are you sure your store has so many kinds of embroidery threads?"
Family portraits are a big problem because there are so many different colors of embroidery thread required.
"enough."
Friendship Products originally sold embroidery products, so they naturally had all the materials needed for embroidery, otherwise the embroiderers would not be able to take on the work.
With his words, Jian Yuelan finally put her mind at ease.
After arriving at the Friendship Store, the embroidery thread she needed was already prepared. After opening it and inspecting it, she nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll go back first. When I'm done embroidering, I'll come find Manager Lin and go meet Grandpa Luo and the others."
Lin Qingyuan was surprised for a moment, not expecting her to be willing to come to him. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, you see we are so familiar with each other now. Don't call me Manager Lin anymore. Just call me Brother Lin."
"Okay, Brother Lin."
Jian Yuelan readily accepted the offer and just called him brother, which didn't mean she would lose any money. She still understood the social etiquette.
"Then Brother Lin, I'm leaving first."
If we don't leave now, we'll miss the bus and the boat.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
At around 6:40 in the afternoon, Jian Yuelan took the last boat to the island.
After entering the family area, there was a noisy sound coming from the front, and a crowd gathered together and chattered about something.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, there was something exciting to watch.
His pace quickened, and before he even got close, he heard Song Yuan's frustrated curse, "Xiao Xiaocao, you bastard, you have no shame."
"You are shameless, your whole family is shameless."
Xiao Xiaocao's mouth is even dirtier than hers, and she starts with a string of curse words that need to be enlarged.
Jian Yuelan frowned as she listened, not understanding why these two were getting together to fight again.
