In mid-November, the first two volumes of "The Educated Youth" were published, and Su Ting also received the corresponding royalties.

After getting the royalties back, Su Ting counted her current savings. She had saved all the royalties she had earned over the past year, except for the first one she received, and so far she had saved two thousand six hundred and seventy yuan in royalties alone.

The savings she had when she came here, plus the money He Dongchuan later handed over, amounted to nearly four thousand.

The salary that He Dongchuan received this year added up to more than three thousand yuan, but his salary was high and their expenses were also high. When it was low, it was seventy or eighty yuan, and when it was high, his salary was not enough.

It may sound exaggerated, how could a hundred bucks not be enough, but it is true.

He Yan grew up fast, and he had to buy clothes when the seasons changed. Su Ting always had a piece of clothing missing in her closet, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't buy clothes when the seasons changed. Therefore, every time the seasons changed, their family would spend two or three hundred yuan just on buying clothes.

Even without mentioning special circumstances like the change of seasons, just talking about the gradual birth of children, people in later generations would say that children are money-eating beasts. Although this era is not so exaggerated, having more children does mean more expenses.

After Man Man was born, she spent a lot of money on milk powder every month. Although she is now drinking formula milk that Cheng Xiaoman bought from the capital and sent to her, Cheng Xiaoman did not ask them for money.

But Su Ting and his wife would not take advantage of their parents. Since Cheng Xiaoman refused to accept the money, they packed it into gifts and sent it back to them. From time to time, they sent them some dried seafood, tea for He's father, and clothes, pants and shoes.

Speaking of shoes, another incident happened.

Like He Dongchuan, He's father rarely bought clothes. He always wore leather shoes or Liberation shoes issued by the army, or cloth shoes made by Aunt Wang. Although his family was better off, after so many years, he still liked the old cloth shoes the best.

So when Su Ting bought a pair of leather shoes and sent them to him, he was very unhappy and called his son to explain to him that cloth shoes are the best.

After hearing this, He Dongchuan said, "My wife spent a long time looking at these shoes before buying them..."

He's father immediately interrupted and asked, "Did your wife pick these shoes?"

"Yes, since you don't like it, that's great, just send it back to me. Anyway, we have the same shoe size and it will fit me perfectly." He Dongchuan thought to himself, if you don't want it, I don't want to give it to you either.

Although He Dongchuan didn't say what he was thinking, even though they were on the phone, He's father could guess what he was thinking and said unhappily, "Get lost! These are my shoes! I have to say, your wife has good taste. She picked these leather shoes. They go really well with her military uniform."

He Dongchuan was speechless: "Didn't you just say that cloth shoes are worse than anything else?"

He's father said as a matter of course: "I didn't know that these shoes were chosen by your wife. Since these shoes are bought for me, you'd better give up and stop thinking about it."

He Dongchuan: “…” You are clearly being double-minded.

Although he talked nonsense, He's father liked the shoes bought by Su Ting very much. He wore them for half a month in a row. Whenever he went out and met someone, he would show off, "These shoes were bought by my daughter-in-law. I said it was unnecessary, but the children were very filial." In the end, because his feet smelled after wearing them for a long time, He's mother ordered him to change the shoes.

After learning about this, Su Ting hurriedly bought another pair of shoes for He's father, so that he could alternate between two pairs. Later, when Cheng Xiaoman called them, she specifically said, "There's really no need to buy them. It's not like the army didn't give him shoes. He just likes to show off!"

Su Ting said: "This is our filial piety as children."

Cheng Xiaoman said, "It's because you are filial that he is so arrogant! He is already in his teens, but he is not stable at all."

Su Ting was not sure what to say, so she mumbled something like "hmm" and quickly handed the microphone to He Dongchuan.

Su Ting also did not forget her original parents. Every time she bought things for He's father and mother, she would always pick out similar things and buy something for Su's father and mother as well. She also sent a lot of dried seafood to their home.

No one on Pingchuan Island knew that the original body had planned to force He Dongchuan to marry, but many people in the hometown brigade heard about it.

Therefore, after the original body got married and joined the army, many people in her hometown said sour things about her. They felt that the gap between the two families was too big and that the original body would not have a good life if she married into the army. Or they said that she had gone out and was thousands of miles away from home, so how could she remember her parents in her hometown after such a long time? There was a lot of gossip about her.

After hearing these words, Su's mother was holding a grudge, so when she received the things that Su Ting sent back with the letter for the first time, she announced it to the team.

After that, every time Su Ting sent something home, she would take it out and show it to prove that she was living a good life and had not forgotten her parents in her hometown.

They don't just receive things, they send a package every now and then. Their family is not well-off and they can't prepare good things, so the packages are basically filled with mountain products and pickled vegetables.

Although the prices are very cheap, it is their intention as parents anyway. Although they have never been together, Su Ting has memories, and coupled with the correspondence over the past year or so, she feels that she has become much closer to Su's father and mother.

However, in He Dongchuan's job, there are only so many vacation days each year, and it is difficult to take a longer vacation after using them up.

Today they are going back to the capital to celebrate the New Year. It will take a week to go back and forth. It is a rare trip back home, so they will definitely stay at home for a few days. He Dongchuan has less than 20 days of vacation left, so he will definitely not have time to visit Su's father and mother, so the time to go back to his hometown can only be postponed.

Neither of them has a clear idea of ​​when the wedding will be postponed. If it is fast, it may be next summer, and if it is slow, it may be the year after next. It mainly depends on how busy He Dongchuan is with work.

Having said that, because of all these expenses, plus the money Su Ting spent in the hospital for childbirth, and after Aunt Wang came to Pingchuan Island, the couple was embarrassed to let his parents continue to pay her salary, so they also paid for this... Adding up all these things, He Dongchuan has basically not saved any salary in the past year or so.

But even so, their savings are still very impressive, adding up to about 7,000 yuan. Maybe by this time next year, their savings will exceed 10,000 yuan.

In the 1980s, a household with a net worth of 10,000 yuan was already quite a luxury, not to mention that the country has not yet started to reform and open up. Su Ting now feels that she is extremely wealthy and wants to spend money.

Su Ting actually spent a lot of money. She asked He Dongchuan to find someone to make a batch of furniture, including desks, cabinets, sofas and coffee tables.

Su Ting had wanted a desk for a long time. The dressing table in the room was too low for her, and the dining table in the living room was a bit high. Neither was suitable for working at a desk for a long time.

But when He Yan was not at home, Su Ting could use the desk in the second bedroom, which was at a good height, and because of various things, Su Ting had not put this matter on the agenda. It was not until she recently counted and found that she was so rich that she decided to put this matter into practice.

The cabinet was built to store letters from readers. Over the past year, she had received several letters from readers sent by publishing houses. The wooden box that He Dongchuan brought back and He Yan's closet could no longer hold these letters.

When building a desk this time, Su Ting wanted to build a bookcase as well. She would make a two-layer bookshelf in the middle to store the comic books she published and the picture magazines she bought, and there would be cabinets on the upper and lower floors to store letters.

Playing the sofa and having tea are purely for enjoyment. Besides, it is really inconvenient to have no sofa at home, so when guests come, they just pull up a chair and sit anywhere.

Since she had to make furniture anyway, Su Ting wanted to be generous for once. Of course, she also said that if she couldn't get that much wood, she could do without the sofa.

After receiving the order, He Dongchuan went to find someone.

Every place has one or two people who can do carpentry, and Pingchuan Island is no exception. There is a carpenter in the agricultural brigade, but he only does the work and does not provide wood.

After hearing this, He Dongchuan did not waste any time and went straight to find the captain of their brigade.

Although public ownership of land is practiced in the country, the fields and mountains in each place are divided and belong to different brigades. The trees planted on the mountains owned by each brigade are the property of the brigade.

The trees were worthless, and he could earn more income by selling them, so no one in the brigades would object, and so He Dongchuan quickly got a few pieces of wood.

There were a lot of things to do in He Dongchuan's camp, and he could only deal with these things when he had time, so it took a long time. By the time the furniture was packed and moved back, it was already mid-December.

Slowly, he was eight months old. He had grown a lot taller, his hands and feet were getting stronger, and he started to be active. He would crawl all over the bed if he was not watched.

She can pronounce more syllables and is no longer limited to "ya ya" and "oh oh" to express her emotions. She can now say "hum".

The first one to be "humphed" was He Dongchuan. Ever since his daughter was seven months old, he had been looking forward to her calling him daddy. Every time he came back, he would teach her how to pronounce the word "dad" and then use threats and inducements to the child.

As for the means of coercion and inducement, they include holding up the girl's toys high up and telling her that he will give them to her only if she calls him daddy, and they also include coaxing the girl into saying that he will buy her new toys if she calls him daddy.

Man Man has developed a strong personality. No matter how her father threatens or tempts her, she... is not completely unmoved, but she certainly doesn't buy it. Until now, she has kept her mouth shut.

One time, her favorite toy was taken away by her father. She was so angry that her face turned red. She snorted at He Dongchuan several times and turned her head away to ignore him, telling her father with her actions that she was angry.

Although He Dongchuan quickly returned the toy to the girl, she gradually held a grudge against him. For several days in a row, she would snort whenever she saw He Dongchuan.

He Dongchuan took advantage of the fact that his daughter-in-law couldn't speak and had no way to explain, so he shamelessly distorted her meaning: "I know, this is Manman's exclusive name for me, right?"

Gradually dissatisfied: "Hehehe!"

He Dongchuan continued to misinterpret: "Be good, Daddy is here."

Su Ting and He Yan were amazed. In their family, when it comes to thick-skinnedness, He Dongchuan/Dad is second to none.

…

As Manman grew up day by day, He Yan became another person to teach her to speak. For a long time, the first thing this father and son did when they returned home every day was to go see Manman and teach her to call him dad and brother.

Once, the father and son got into a competition. One of them called the other "Dad" and the other immediately followed up by calling him "Brother".

Although Manmo cannot speak yet, he can already understand a lot of things. Watching his father and brother competing, he is not worried at all and claps happily and smiles from ear to ear.

He Dongchuan: “…”

He Yan: “…”

Although the father and son hoped that the first thing Manman called out would be themselves, in reality, the first thing Manman called out was "Mom".

It’s not that “Mom” is easier to pronounce, but Su Ting is at home all day and can teach her to call “Mom” slowly anytime and anywhere, so it’s no surprise that she won this time.

If you can't be the first person that a girl/sister calls you, being the second one is not bad either. So after slowly calling her mom, the father and son are still competing.

Gradually, she was finally willing to look at the father and son. On the third day after she learned to call "Mom", she opened her mouth and called "Dad".

This time it wasn't because He Dongchuan had more time than He Yan, but because dad was indeed easier to pronounce than brother. But no matter what, He Dongchuan could finally hear his daughter calling him dad, and he was very happy and relieved.

He Yan's mood was the opposite of his father's. He was very lost until Su Ting told him that his father pronounced better than his brother. Only then did he cheer up and continue teaching his sister to call him brother.

If he can’t be first or second, he wants to be third!

For this reason, He Yan gave up the opportunity to go out and play after the winter vacation. Every day at home he either did his homework or taught his sister to call him brother.

Hard work pays off. On the eve of the New Year when they packed their bags to return to the capital, he finally learned to call me brother.

He Yan was so happy that he was floating in the air until he got on the train.

After getting on the train, he didn't go anywhere but stuck to his sister, holding a big White Rabbit milk candy in his hand. When he heard his sister call him brother, he gave her a lick of the milk candy.

He Dongchuan asked with amusement: "Are you teasing the dog?"

"I was playing with my sister, not teasing the dog," He Yan explained.

"That won't do either. Have you washed your hands before you feed your sister like this? And who are you going to give this candy to?" Not only the candy, but even He Yan's hands were covered with saliva.

"I'll eat it. I don't mind my sister." He Yan just finished speaking, and his expression became guilty. "My hands are clean, and I don't know where to wash them."

He Dongchuan stood up quickly: "...Come on, I'll take you to wash your hands."

He Yan said "oh" and stuffed the candy stained with his sister's saliva into his mouth. He Dongchuan's forehead was throbbing with veins, and finally he chose to raise his head and pretend not to see it.

The father and son walked away in a hurry. They were happily eating candy until they gradually stopped eating and shouted at the top of their voices: "Candy... Candy... Dad, brother, bad..."

Su Ting held the child in her arms and quickly rummaged through the bag of snacks. Soon she took out an egg cake, broke it open and fed it to Manman.

Ever since she had egg cake once, every time she went to the department store in the city, she would slowly call out "yeah yeah" when she saw egg cake. Oh, she doesn't call out "yeah yeah" anymore, but has changed to a more straightforward "yeah yeah yeah".

As soon as I put the cake in my mouth, I slowly forgot about the sugar, and my dad and brother were no longer bad.

Across the bed was a middle-aged man on a business trip. He had only had a brief chat with He Dongchuan before. Seeing her smile slowly, he couldn't help but say, "Your daughter is easy to please."

Su Ting smiled and said, "I just love to eat. If there is something delicious, I will be happy."

"That's good too."

The two were chatting when He Dongchuan came back with He Yan. After they sat down, they asked, "What are you talking about?"

"He said he could be coaxed slowly, so we chatted for a while," said Su Ting.

The middle-aged man added: "I think your eldest son is also very sensible."

He Yan has sharp ears. While teasing his sister, he also listens to the adults chatting. After being praised, he silently straightened his chest. He also thinks he is very sensible, hehe.

He Dongchuan glanced at He Yan, and as soon as he saw his expression, he knew that he was proud, so he said, "He is sensible, but he is not very stable."

He Yan's head drooped, and he looked up at his father with resentment.

He Dongchuan smiled secretly in his heart but looked calm as he continued chatting with the middle-aged man.

…

When Su Ting boarded the train in Rong City, although she was wearing three pieces of clothing, they were all very thin. As soon as the train left Fujian, she began to shiver with cold and quickly took out a thick woolen coat from her luggage and put it on.

But the thick woolen cloth didn't last long. As the train crossed the Huai River, the temperature began to drop sharply. Before entering Hebei, Su Ting wrapped herself in a thick cotton jacket.

The cotton jacket was brought from my hometown. Because of the low latitude in Fujian, you can't wear a cotton jacket even in the coldest winter, so the clothes sold in department stores are not very thick.

In order to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year, Su Ting took out her original cotton padded jacket and He Dongchuan's military coat from the bottom of the box and washed them as soon as January began.

In addition, Su Ting made a special phone call and asked Cheng Xiaoman to buy some thick clothes for He Yan and send them to him. Gradually, it became less of a problem. He just needed to wear thicker clothes and wrap him in a swaddle.

Because the temperature in Fujian is high, the family wore little when they got on the train, but as the train went north, they put on more and more clothes.

By the time they arrived in the capital, one-third of their luggage was empty.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in the capital. This was the time of the day when the temperature on Pingchuan Island was the highest, but it had just snowed in the capital, so the temperature was not the lowest, but only getting lower.

As soon as she got off the train, Su Ting was stunned by the cold wind blowing in her face. The wind was as cold as a knife, and the chill spread from the soles of her feet. In less than a minute, she sneezed three times.

Compared to her, the situation of the other three in the family is much better.

He Dongchuan was wrapped in a military coat, which was famous for being thick, warm and windproof. He Yan was wearing a long cotton jacket with a hood. Needless to say, He Yan slept very soundly after being wrapped in two layers of swaddling clothes.

Seeing Su Ting sneeze, He Dongchuan asked: "Shall I give you my military coat?"

"Forget it. I can't wear it even if you give it to me." Su Ting shook her head. Although He Dongchuan was wearing a winter military uniform, the thickness was not enough to withstand the northwest wind in the capital. Even a strong body could not withstand wearing that uniform.

Su Ting said, "Let's get out quickly."

He Dongchuan nodded, let Su Ting hold the child and hold He Yan, while he carried the large and small bags and walked out.

As soon as they got out of the train station, the three were stopped by a young man in military uniform. When they went over and asked, they found out that it was He's father who arranged to pick them up.

He Dongchuan was very surprised. After getting in the car, he said to Su Ting: "I have been in the army for so many years, and my father has arranged for someone to pick me up twice, once when we got married, and once today."

He could understand it last time. After all, he and Su Ting had just gotten married, and his parents had to show their welcome to their daughter-in-law.

But this time... He Dongchuan couldn't help but mutter: "Has my dad changed his personality?"

When the young man driving the car heard what He Dongchuan said, he couldn't help coughing twice, indicating that he was still there. Then he said, "The leader said that he asked me to come mainly to pick up Ms. Su and the two children." Picking up He Dongchuan was just a coincidence.

He Dongchuan: “…” These are the words his father could say.

…

In her previous life, Su Ting went to college in the capital. When she was studying, she always thought that she would stay there after graduation. Her father also hoped so. After all, people tend to move up, and compared to her hometown, the capital is a huge platform.

Feishou met Su Ting half a year before the accident and specially invited her then boyfriend to come along.

During the meal, he told the two that if the project he was working on succeeded, the company would definitely be able to move to a higher level. He also used his connections to find her a job, and after graduation, she would be able to get a permanent residence permit, and once the residence permit was settled, she could buy a house immediately.

They can choose the location of the house as they like. If they don't have enough money to pay the full amount, they can just pay the down payment first. He will pay the loan back, which will definitely not be a problem for them. But there is one thing: the son-in-law must treat his daughter well, otherwise...

Her father didn't say the rest of the words because she saw that her boyfriend looked unhappy, so she pretended to be angry and interrupted her father.

After sending her father away that day, her boyfriend got angry at her and said that he was with her because of her as a person, not for money.

She was very naive at the time and quickly believed her boyfriend's words and coaxed him for most of the day before they reconciled.

But within half a month of their reconciliation, she happened to see him checking real estate information. When she asked him about it, he said, "Aren't you going to buy a house? I'll help you check it out so you don't get cheated."

Before her father had the accident, she had already chosen a house based on his advice. But after her father had the accident, everything came to a crashing halt.

Although he denied it, Su Ting knew that money was the root cause of their breakup.

When her father was alive, even though she was not white, rich and beautiful, her family was considered well-off. Her hometown was in a second-tier provincial capital city. Her family owned two fully paid houses, one of which was a villa, and also had a well-run company.

Her basic living expenses are 10,000 yuan per month, but her father gives her money every now and then, and all added up, she can make 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, so she can live comfortably in college without having to work part-time.

Although those who can study art will not come from poor families, there are not many families that can afford 20,000 or 30,000 yuan for living expenses.

Of course, just looking at Su Ting's expenses, you wouldn't know that her living expenses are so high. She doesn't have any special hobbies of spending money. She usually eats in the cafeteria, and when she goes out for dinner occasionally, it's all on the AA basis. She never takes the initiative to treat others.

But it is not difficult to determine from clues that she comes from a wealthy family. Although she doesn't pursue big brands, the bag she often carries is a birthday gift that her father asked his friend's daughter to help pick out. The price is not too expensive, about 20,000 yuan in a specialty store. She also has a backpack that she seldom carries, which is cheaper at 7,000 or 8,000 yuan.

In addition, her clothes and shoes are basically bought in shopping malls. The brands may not be big, but the prices are not cheap. It is common for a piece of clothing to cost seven or eight hundred or even thousands of yuan.

She also bought clothes online with her classmates, but she didn’t know whether it was because she was unlucky or the clothes were too cheap, the quality of the clothes she bought was always worrying. She found returns and exchanges troublesome, so she seldom bought clothes online. When she did buy clothes occasionally, she would choose big brands.

She and her ex-boyfriend met in their freshman year. One of them was the most handsome and the other the most beautiful girl in the department. They were teased as soon as they met, and their relationship had always been a bit ambiguous.

But he really started pursuing her at the end of the first semester of his freshman year. A classmate in his class fell ill and was in urgent need of money, so the class teacher initiated a fundraising campaign. Because she had a good relationship with the sick classmate and knew that he was in real need, she donated 10,000 yuan directly.

During that time, she was often teased by her classmates, saying that she was a hidden beauty who was rich and beautiful. Once, he ran into her while she was joking, and asked her the reason with a smile. He didn't say anything at the time, but he was very attentive to Su Ting afterwards.

When they just broke up, Su Ting didn't think negatively of him until she returned to school to attend the graduation ceremony and met his roommate who was studying for a master's degree.

The other party brought up their breakup, saying, "One time when I returned to the dormitory, I heard him calling home and saying that he would find a way to marry you before your household registration was settled, so that when you bought a house, he would have established a firm foothold in the capital. When I heard this, I felt bad and wanted to tell you but was a little hesitant. Before I made up my mind, I heard that you broke up."

When her friends heard this, they felt sorry for her and said a lot of things they thought were strange. It was then that she began to look at him and their relationship in a different light.

Maybe her love brain suddenly became clear, or maybe it was because she tended to think the worst of people after a breakup. Anyway, the more she dug into it, the more terrifying it became.

She was not strong enough at that time. Because of a relationship, she began to develop an escapist mentality. After her father passed away, her good connections began to push back on arranging a job for her. She was short of money, so she went to the south at the invitation of a senior sister with whom she had a good relationship.

In the following seven or eight years, she only went to the capital on business twice, the last time being four years ago.

But at that time, the capital's main urban area was just a small area of ​​Dongcheng and Xicheng, and Fengtai was considered a suburb. The Second Ring Road was planned early, but it was not built until the 1990s.

In addition, more than 30 years had passed between them, so when Su Ting looked outside from the car, she didn't see many familiar scenes.

But He Dongchuan was familiar with the city. He came to the capital when he was seven or eight years old and lived here until he was sixteen. He came back less often after he went to military school. The half-grown boy couldn't stay at home, and the city was in chaos. In his words, there was no place in the capital that he had not been to.

Su Ting didn't quite believe this. The capital is more than just the main urban area. Although Shunyi and Changping have not yet been developed into districts, they are also part of the capital. Has he been to all of them?

As soon as the question was asked, He Dongchuan was speechless.

If he was familiar with the buzzwords of later generations, he would definitely give Su Ting a critical review.

He Dongchuan was indeed unfamiliar with Shunyi and Changping, but there was indeed no place in the main urban area that he was not familiar with, and he introduced it as he walked. Listening to his introduction, Su Ting's dusty memory gradually awakened.

In fact, she had been to these places before, but not many times, and some streets had been demolished and rebuilt, so they no longer looked the same as they do now when she came here in her previous life.

But as soon as she heard the name, she knew it, and suddenly realized, "So this is it."

The guard driving in the front was very puzzled when listening to the conversation behind them. Last year, they came to the capital to pick up He Yan after their wedding, and he was the one who went to the train station to pick them up.

They were newlyweds at the time, but there was almost no communication between them.

As soon as he got in the car, He Dongchuan sat in the passenger seat. When Su Ting asked him questions, he only responded with brief "um" or "ah". Perhaps he was afraid of being laughed at, so he kept silent after a few times.

It's obvious that the couple don't know each other well.

This time when he came to pick someone up, he thought it would be the same as last time, with silence and awkwardness all the way. He didn't expect that although He Dongchuan sat in the front row, he hardly looked forward. He either turned his head to look at his wife and children, or pointed out the window to introduce them to where the outside was.

As a single young man, he had to admit that he was stimulated. When would he be able to find a wife?

As the jeep drove on, He Dongchuan's introduction changed to "this is the headquarters of a certain place, and this is a certain compound." In the middle, they also passed the kindergarten where He Yan had studied. The environment looked much better than that of the military primary school.

After driving past the kindergarten, in less than five minutes, we arrived at the military compound where the He family lived.

The environment in the compound is also better than the naval compound on Pingchuan Island. Not only are the roads wide, but there are tall trees on both sides. The houses behind the trees are basically single-family houses with yards, and the distances between houses are also large.

In short, the environment is very good.

The He family lived relatively close to the inside, and after entering the yard, the jeep drove for another two or three minutes before stopping in front of a two-story yard.

The jeep was moving very quietly. Before Su Ting and her friends had finished unloading their luggage, Cheng Xiaoman and Aunt Wang opened the door and came out.

Cheng Xiaoman walked straight to Su Ting, hugged her and her child, and asked, "How was your journey? Are you tired? Did you have lunch? Are you hungry?"

After asking repeatedly, she lowered her head and said with a smile: "This must be Miaomiao, she is so cute. Miaomiao, I am your grandma."

Before coming, Su Ting taught Manman how to pronounce grandpa and grandma. If you look closely, grandma's pronunciation is actually more difficult than grandpa's. But Manman would open his mouth to ask for milk every time he was hungry, so he quickly learned to call grandma. On the contrary, he could not pronounce grandpa well.

When he heard what Cheng Xiaoman said, he started shouting, "Grandma~ Grandma~ I want grandma~"

Hearing her shouting for it, Su Ting knew that she wanted milk, but Cheng Xiaoman didn't know. She was so happy that her face was beaming with joy. She stretched out her hand and said, "Hey, grandma, hold me, grandma, hold Miaomiao."

Su Ting slowly handed the baby over to her mother-in-law, and was a little hesitant about whether to tell Cheng Xiaoman the truth. But before she could say it, He Yan started yelling, "Sister is not calling for grandma, she is hungry and wants milk!"

Upon learning of the misunderstanding, Cheng Xiaomansi did not feel embarrassed at all. She said with a smile, "Okay, okay, grandma will feed Miaomiao." Then she looked up and called Su Ting into the house.

The capital already had heating at that time, so as soon as she entered the house, Su Ting felt like she had entered spring and summer. The whole family took off their shoes and cotton jackets.

But this was not enough, Su Ting was wearing a sweater under her cotton jacket, He Yan's trousers were also furry, and He Dongchuan's military uniform was also very thick.

Therefore, after entering the living room, Cheng Xiaoman directly asked Aunt Wang to take them to the room to put their luggage and change clothes, while she stayed behind to prepare milk powder for Manman.

Judging from the area alone, the He family's house is not big, with the upstairs and downstairs combined only about 200 square meters. But on the one hand, there was no public stall at that time, and on the other hand, the house design at that time was mainly practical, with many rooms and few non-essential spaces, especially bathrooms, with only one upstairs and one downstairs.

Therefore, there are a total of five rooms upstairs. He's father, He's mother and Aunt Wang all live downstairs, and He Dongchuan's room is on the second floor. The largest room in Chaoyang is his.

He Yan's room is next to He Dongchuan's room, with the same orientation, but a little smaller in size, but still more spacious than the rooms on the island.

After entering the house, Aunt Wang smiled and said to Su Ting, "You and Dongchuan will sleep here tonight. The sheets and quilts are all new. They just saw the sun before the snow fell. They are very comfortable."

Su Ting said yes and looked up at the room.

The room was clean and spacious, with all the furniture, but there was no sign of life. However, Su Ting was a broad-minded person and knew that some things did not need to be explored, so she did not think too much about it and smiled and said, "The room is fine."

"It's OK as long as you are used to it." Aunt Wang said with a smile, "Then you two can rest in the room for a while. I will take Xiao Yan to his room first?"

Su Ting said yes, and after they left, she asked, "Do you want to change first or should I?"

"Can't we change together?" He Dongchuan asked back.
