He Caiwei looked at Pengcheng, which she hadn't returned to for several years. The changes here were really big, and there were still quite a lot of people coming and going on the streets.
These people looked preoccupied and worried, which was a bit unsettling.
He Caiwei didn't know what major events had happened in Pengcheng in the past few years, but she couldn't help but notice that something was off about the way these people were behaving.
"Dad, has anything major happened here in the last few years?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that things got more and more outrageous, nobody could control them, and some people were even deported after being discovered, but they kept spreading rumors about life there, making more and more people want to go there. Your Uncle Zhang is now overwhelmed by these people, and he's almost about to lose his temper." Lu Zhiheng was quite helpless seeing his old friend.
"I think we should just let it go. We can't stop it. Dad, how about we move somewhere else?" He Caiwei wanted to see what her father thought.
"No need, we're doing fine here. The situation outside the city doesn't affect us much, so there's no need to worry too much." Lu Zhiheng never thought of leaving Pengcheng. Although he was seriously injured and almost died here, he met his love here and had a pair of adorable twins. This is his lucky place.
"Alright, whatever makes you happy. I've been assigned to be an accountant at the textile factory here. I was just thinking that if you want to leave, I could choose to go to Guangcheng," He Caiwei said, feigning regret.
"You naughty girl, if you want to work in Guangcheng, then go ahead. I didn't stop you from going. What, you want to stay and now you're blaming me?" Lu Zhiheng reached out and poked her forehead, laughing and scolding.
"No, I just wanted to come back and be with you. Or you could come to the square for me. Anyway, houses aren't expensive these days. Our family is rich, we can buy a house anywhere. It's just a little difficult to get residency here. What's wrong, Dad? You don't want to leave here?" He Caiwei knew perfectly well why her father didn't want to leave.
"Alright, alright, you're always right. Come on, let's go back now. Those two little ones don't even recognize you anymore since you haven't been back for years." The thought of those two little ones at home was giving me a real headache.
Both are three years old now, but they're too clingy. Ever since these two little rascals were born, his wife has become like one of them.
"Hahaha, Dad, has your wife turned into one of those two little brats?" He Caiwei gloated when she heard his mournful tone.
"You brat, I knew you wouldn't come back to help. You have no idea how clingy those two little devils are. They're always sticking to your mother. When I try to talk to her, those two idiots act like they're enemies. Oh dear, I regret it. Why was I so unlucky to have these two?" Lu Zhiheng's words made Lu Qingfeng, who always had a serious face, twitch with laughter. He almost couldn't help but burst out laughing in front of everyone.
"Shut up! If you dare say that to my mother's face, you probably won't even be able to get into the house tonight, believe it or not." He Caiwei was speechless. How could her father say such a thing?
"Shh, girl, you can't say that. Your mother mustn't hear you. Come on, come on, let's go back. Your grandpa has missed you so much. He'll be so happy to see you back today. But your husband has missed you so much since you last came back." The old man really missed this little girl. He sat under the longan tree every day, waiting and hoping.
There were two smaller ones to distract him, but the older one was the old man's precious darling, and the old man longed for him to come back every day.
"Of course, that's my grandfather. He must miss me a lot." He Caiwei felt sorry for her grandfather when she thought of him. She had been busy running around for the past few years and hadn't been able to come back.
I definitely need to appease the old man properly, otherwise I'll surely get a scolding.
The group arrived home quickly and didn't move until they were done. They hadn't brought back much; both bags were in Lu Qingfeng's hands.
As soon as He Caiwei saw the gate of the courtyard, she shouted loudly inside, "Grandpa, I'm back! Husband, where are you?"
When Grandpa He first heard the sound, he thought he had misheard. He didn't know that his eldest granddaughter was still in Kyoto at this time, and he didn't know if school was on holiday.
When he heard the second voice, the old man was quite agitated. It was indeed his eldest granddaughter's voice; she had returned.
The old man, carrying his cane, quickly came out of his room and saw the little girl already at the front door from the steps.
"Hey, you little rascal, you've finally found your way home." The old man tugged at his mustache and walked very quickly toward his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, I'm back. Did you miss me?" He Caiwei saw that her grandfather was moving so fast that she was afraid he would fall, so she quickly took a few steps and hugged him.
"You brat, you act like you've been lost the moment you step out the door. Tell me, how many times have you come back after all these years of studying away from home? You say you miss me, but if you miss me, why don't you come back?" The old man stood happily in the yard, playfully teasing his granddaughter.
Seeing the two of them like this, He Yuping rolled her eyes speechlessly. Her father turned into a complete child whenever he was with his eldest daughter.
"That's enough, you two. The mosquitoes outside are all waiting to drink your blood." He Yuping was speechless. There were so many mosquitoes outside, how could these two stand there for so long?
"Oh dear, how could I forget about these big mosquitoes? Come on, Grandpa, let's go! Look at my hands, they must be covered in bites!" He Caiwei cried out exaggeratedly, helping her grandfather back into the main room.
He Caiwei has really been away for too long and forgot that there are a lot of mosquitoes in Shenzhen in the summer. If you stand in the yard for a short while, your feet will be covered in bites.
"Listen to you bragging, where did you get all those bags? You're wearing long sleeves, okay? Don't think that just because your grandpa's old, I don't know you're wearing long sleeves and pants. Where did you get all those bags?" Grandpa said with a smile, occasionally throwing in a few words of dialect, which almost confused He Caiwei.
"Grandpa, your language talent is amazing! Why do you keep making inflections when you speak? I can't understand a word you say!" He Caiwei listened to the old man's dialect mixed with Mandarin with a bewildered expression. It was really difficult for her to understand him.
He Yuping was also laughing out loud. Her father was really funny. He had recently been learning the local dialect from Zhang the tailor. The local dialect was already particularly difficult to understand, and with the old man's random remarks and her own tongue twisting around, it was like listening to gibberish.
But the two old men still enjoyed it immensely. Even if they couldn't understand it, they would still talk about it. Because of this, the family was always laughing. With the old men and the two little kids, you can imagine how lively the scene was.
