The next day, as soon as the snow stopped, Jiang Qingwu and the others went to the address given by Uncle Dong. A white-haired elderly man opened the door.
"Old man, do you know Uncle Dong?"
The old man looked at Jiang Qingwu and the others carefully, then shook his head. "I don't know them. You can go now."
Jiang Qingwu noticed the old man's hesitation and thought there must be something hidden, so she said, "Old man, we have no ill intentions. My husband and Uncle Dong are old acquaintances. This time I came to Beijing and wanted to visit Uncle Dong. We will be in Beijing for a while. I wrote you a note, please give it to Uncle Dong."
"Wife, let me write. Uncle Dong taught me calligraphy before. He will be more familiar with my handwriting after looking at it."
Zhou Yunzhou wrote a note and handed it to the old man, and then the two of them thanked the old man and prepared to leave.
"Wait, both of you come in with me."
After they got inside, the old man poured them two glasses of water and said, "The Uncle Dong you're talking about must be my son Zhao Donglin. I only let you in because you wrote your name was Yunzhou on the note."
"Old man, isn't Uncle Dong here? Did something happen to him?"
Zhou Yunzhou met Uncle Dong when he was injured, and always felt that his identity was not that simple.
"He's an officer in the army. He wrote to me saying you saved his life. If you come to see him, he'll treat you well."
"I'm glad Uncle Dong is okay. I've been thinking about him since he passed away."
"When you rescued him, he was on a mission and was discovered by the enemy and injured. Now he is an officer. He said that if you come, he will give you his address and ask you to write to him and send it to this address."
After the old man gave Zhou Yunzhou the address, the two of them left. Later, Zhou Yunzhou returned and knocked on the door. When the old man opened the door, Zhou Yunzhou had already left. The old man only saw food and meat placed at the door.
"Husband, do you want to write a letter to Uncle Dong?"
"Just write a letter and tell him I'm fine. I've found the things he left for me."
A few days before the New Year, the two of them took Xiao Taiyang to four scrap collection stations in Beijing to hunt for treasures. With this powerful weapon, they naturally had a great harvest.
New Year's Eve soon arrived, and the whole family came to the Tang family. My uncle and brother were coming back together today. They were already stationed in the same place, and it was arranged that they would come back together.
"Are you nervous? My uncles are very nice. They will only help you and won't be mean to you," Jiang Qingwu reassured Zhou Yunzhou.
"I'm not nervous. If my uncle is not satisfied with me, I will just try harder. Anyway, I will not leave you and our son."
"Boy, did you bring me some fruit wine again? I've finished all the ones at home. I was afraid your uncle would drink my ginseng wine today, so I hid it."
Zhou Yunzhou felt that his grandfather was becoming more and more lovable. He was always afraid that his father and uncle would secretly drink his wine, so he would always hide the wine in a different place.
"Yes, I brought it. I put it in the wine cabinet in your room. No one can find it."
"That's fine. Just don't tell your uncles and your dad."
Soon, several people came in from the main gate in a lively manner. The uncles were very happy to see Jiang Qingwu.
"Little girl, your aunt urged me to come back as soon as she received your letter. She didn't know that I was even more anxious than she was, but I couldn't leave."
Auntie held Jiang Qingwu's hand and said affectionately, "Of course I'm anxious. It's been so long since I've seen Qingqing. I miss her so much. Qingqing, is this Yunzhou?"
"Aunt, uncle," Zhou Yunzhou greeted them.
"Boy, don't you dare bully our Qingqing, or I will kill you," the uncle threatened Zhou Yunzhou.
Fourth Uncle said, "It's a good thing that Qingqing doesn't bully Yunzhou. Yunzhou really spoils her."
Jiang Qingyuan was already holding Little Sun and playing with it. "Little Sun, do you miss your uncle? Do you still recognize your uncle?"
"Uncle, uncle," Xiao Taiyang still remembered Jiang Qingyuan. After all, he would look at his uncle's photos from time to time.
Several people were vying to hold the little sun. The little guy was very helpful today, letting everyone hold him and being sweet to everyone.
Jiang Qingwu also told Zhou Yunzhou that his son was the biggest contributor to his family's quick acceptance of him, which immediately won the hearts of his family.
This year's Spring Festival was unusually lively at the Tang family. All the people who were away came back. The old man and the old lady were very happy. The old man also asked Jiang Chengzhi and Tang Wanqing to personally invite Zhou Yunzhou's grandparents to come and have the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Little Sun also received a lot of big red envelopes this year. He gave them to his mother and exchanged them for small cookies from her. His little appearance made everyone laugh.
Because it was the first time that the elders in the family met Zhou Yunzhou, they gave him a red envelope. This is the custom of the Tang family, to give a red envelope to each new daughter-in-law and son-in-law.
The uncles and brothers were not at home for a few days and went back on the third day of the New Year. Jiang Qingwu packed a lot of delicious food for Jiang Qingyuan and asked him to eat with his uncles and aunts on the way.
My aunt and uncle also received gifts from Jiang Qingwu, which touched their hearts.
After following Jiang Chengzhi and Tang Wanqing to pay New Year's greetings, Zhou Yunzhou and Jiang Qingwu went to see the houses they had bought. Each one was quite nice.
It was soon time to return to the countryside, after all, the letter of introduction was about to expire.
"Qingqing, when you go back, don't forget to visit Yunzhou's parents, and don't forget what your mother told you," Tang Wanqing reminded Jiang Qingwu in the kitchen.
"I know, Mom, don't be sad, we will be back soon, and we won't leave next time." Jiang Qingwu saw Tang Wanqing's eyes were red, and knew that she was reluctant to let them go and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, Mom will be waiting for you to come back," Tang Wanqing hugged her daughter, looking forward to the day of reunion.
Jiang Qingwu and Tang Wanqing took a lot of things and put them into the warehouse at home. There was also a portion of fruit wine for grandpa, but Jiang Qingwu told Tang Wanqing not to give grandpa so much at a time, so that he would not drink too much every time. Just a moderate amount would be enough.
"Mom, if there's anything we need at home that we can't buy in Beijing, you can always send me a telegram and tell me. I'll also call you every week, and I'll send it back to you right away after you tell me."
"Okay, Mom will tell you."
The next day, they said goodbye to their family and took the train back. They also made arrangements for their grandparents.
The old man also wrote a letter to his son and daughter-in-law asking them to bring it back. Zhou Yunzhou was also anxious to see his parents and sister, and he agreed with Jiang Qingwu to go see his parents and sister the next day after returning home.
"Wife, if I hadn't been stolen by her, would we have known each other since childhood?"
Jiang Qingwu nodded. "Maybe. I saw Xingyun at my grandpa's house when I was a child. My parents hadn't been sent to the countryside yet, and I hadn't gone there either. She followed my grandfather to my grandpa's house and followed me around, calling me Sister Qing."
"If that's the case, I must have been fascinated by you since I was a child," Zhou Yunzhou joked.
"Like now? Dizzy and disoriented?"
The two smiled at each other and looked at the little sun sleeping on the berth.
