Damao came to Grandpa Chen's courtyard and saw the clean grape trellis and swing in the yard. He stood there awkwardly.
Damao vaguely remembered that her home when she was a child was also this big, and there was a swing made for her by her father in the yard. Unfortunately, the family ran out of food later.
They left the house with the swing.
Although Damao is still young, she feels that she may never be able to return to that home in her lifetime.
Fortunately, she has met Yao Qiyue now, and her life is gradually getting better.
Jiang Mei heard the noise and ran out of the house: "Sister-in-law, you're back."
"How's Xiaowu? What did the doctor here say?"
Jiang Mei is three or four years older than Damao, but at this moment Damao looks much calmer than Jiang Mei.
Seeing Jiang Mei's anxiety, Yao Qiyue quickly said, "The doctor said that Xiaowu's condition is best treated with surgery as soon as possible."
"Don't worry. Once the doctor has made arrangements, we'll have Xiaowu operated on. After the surgery, she'll be able to grow up healthy like other children."
Yao Qiyue said as she placed the things in her hands in the living room.
She bought two washbasins with different patterns so that they could be easily distinguished.
"These two washbasins are for you and Damao. Which color do you want?"
Damao stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in. Jiang Mei simply reached out and pulled her sleeve, leading Damao into the house.
Yao Qiyue glanced at them lightly and ignored their interactions.
She put a bar of soap, towels and other toiletries in each basin.
In one corner of the living room there is a low table with a small wash basin on it. That is where Xiaobao usually washes.
"You two can put your things there after dividing them up."
Jiang Mei took a look and let Damao choose first.
Damao was a little flattered and asked Jiang Mei what color she liked.
She just uses whatever she has and is not picky at all.
The two of them quickly divided their toiletries and placed them neatly in the place Yao Qiyue mentioned.
The weather in Beijing is getting colder and colder, and Yao Qiuyue has already changed into a thin cotton jacket.
Jiang Mei was lucky, she had a thin cotton jacket.
Damao's coat was not padded. When she entered the house, the warmth from the stove began to relax her frozen body.
Yao Qiyue had noticed Damao's predicament a long time ago, but she didn't have any cotton tickets at the moment.
It is difficult to collect cotton coupons now, and many people put cotton in their clothes.
Yao Qiyue moved a stool and placed it near the stove, and called to Damao: "Sit here and warm yourself up."
Yao Qiyue didn't see Xiaobao in the house, and thought that he must have been taken to play by Grandpa Chen.
She was very relieved about this. Chen Qingyun had a lot of fun things, and Xiaobao liked them very much.
At night, Damao and Jiangmei slept in the same room, and Yao Qiyue slept with Xiaobao.
…
The next morning, Yao Qiuyue sent Damao and breakfast to the hospital and learned the date of Xiaowu's surgery.
When he returned to the courtyard, Du Yun was drinking his finest Dahongpao in Chen Qingyun's living room.
Xiaobao was playing Go with Chen Qingyun. Xiaobao didn't know how to play Go at all, and was lucky enough to be able to distinguish between black and white pieces.
Chen Qingyun continued to make Xiaobao happy while playing. Du Yun watched the two chess players for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to play them.
"Master's wife, you're here?"
Yao Qiyue wanted to take Xiaobao back for a nap and saw the three of them sitting in a circle in the living room.
She walked over and took a look. Well, she didn't understand how Chen Qingyun and Xiaobao played chess.
Du Yun looked up at Yao Qiyue with a confused look on his face: "Do you understand what chess your son is playing?"
Yao Qiyue shook her head, and Du Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would have thought that all her years of learning had been in vain, as there were actually ways to play Go that she didn't know.
"July, I came to see you for something. Let's go to your place to talk."
Chen Qingyun looked up and glanced at Du Yun: "What? What secret are you talking about? You have to keep it secret from us."
Du Yun looked at Chen Qingyun and smiled helplessly: "Please stop teasing me, what secrets can I have..."
"I've hidden several gold bars at home, and you know them all..."
"What secrets could I possibly have?"
Chen Qingyun sneered disdainfully: "That's because you are stupid!"
Du Yun: “???”
Yao Qiyue also felt that there should be no secrets between her and Du Yun.
"Master's wife, just tell me straight, it's okay."
Du Yun didn't want to hide it from Chen Qingyun, she was just afraid that Yao Qiyue would mind.
She took out a remittance slip from her pocket, which was the royalties from the publishing house to Yao Qiyue.
Du Yun didn't expect that this anti-abduction knowledge would be so popular.
During this period, public security bureaus, street offices, and even communes in various villages bought a lot.
Yao Qiuyue looked at the remittance slip and saw ten thousand yuan.
Du Yun looked at Yao Qiyue's calm appearance and was impressed.
This is a lot of money, and the money keeps coming in.
"This is only part of your current royalty. Your royalty is eight yuan per thousand words, and five percent of the book's published value."
"Also, Comrade Zheng Aiguo from the publishing house asked me to ask you if you're still interested in publishing books on preventing fraud and trafficking. Their publishing house is willing to continue working with you."
Yao Qiyue handed the remittance slip to Chen Qingyun: "Grandpa, this is money for your retirement."
Chen Qingyun and Du Yun were stunned when they heard this.
Du Yun still didn't know that Chen Qingyun wanted to adopt Yao Qiyue as his granddaughter.
It’s just right now, as New Year’s Day is only a week away.
Yao Qiyue plans to spend the New Year with her family in Beijing, and by then Xiaowu will have completed his surgery.
Chen Qingyun held a thin remittance slip in his hand, but tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.
"Hahaha……"
“Okay, okay…”
“That’s really great…”
"I, Chen Qingyun, have accumulated a lot of merit in this life. Even with one foot in the coffin, I still have a filial granddaughter..."
Seeing Chen Qingyun so happy, Du Yun raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
If her aunt knew about this, she would be relieved to see that her uncle could still laugh so happily!
"July, you will be the child of our Chen and Du families from now on."
"If anyone bullies you, come find Master's Wife."
Yao Qiyue looked at Du Yun accepting her and smiled sincerely.
She didn't want to covet Grandpa Chen's house. She knew without thinking that it was the money Grandpa Chen had saved for his entire life.
Now that she has the ability, she should return the money double to Grandpa Chen.
She was willing to call Grandpa Chen "Grandpa" because she felt that he was very good to her and Xiaobao.
The relationship between people is mutual. As you get along with each other, you can see who is good and who is bad.
"Master's wife, you and Master will come to our house for dinner on New Year's Day."
"Let's have a reunion year."
Du Yun always spends the holidays with Lu Zhian, and when he heard Yao Qiyue's invitation, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Okay, then Master's Wife will respectfully obey your orders."
