As soon as we arrived at the gate of the yard, we put Rourou down.
"Chengzi, we'll leave first. Remember to tell your sister-in-law as well." Mother Song said, holding her hand.
"Okay, I understand." Song Chucheng nodded. "Rou Rou, moo, Tian Tian, say goodbye to grandma and grandpa."
"Grandma, Grandpa, goodbye. I'll wait for you to come back home." Tiantian thought they were leaving the island and didn't say she wanted to go with them. She didn't like taking a boat and usually she was not willing to go even if they took her.
Song Miaomiao: “…” Forgot about her again…
"Grandpa, grandpa... grandpa... goodbye!" Rourou smiled and waved.
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt, goodbye." Moo Moo also waved.
"So good, and so are great grandpa and uncle." Song Chucheng said to Moo Moo with a smile.
"Grandpa, uncle, goodbye." The three of them shouted at the same time.
Dabao and Tiantian usually call Uncle Su and Liao Jun by following Rourou's mooing.
"Be good boys! When grandpa comes back, I'll bring you some delicious food. Be good and eat your food, okay?" Uncle Su said to the three little ones with a smile.
“Eat, eat!”
"I'm good!"
"My brother Moo Moo and I are good, but Rourou is not." Tiantian pointed at Rourou and said angrily.
"Grandpa will come back and bring Tiantian a big roast duck, bigger than brother Rourou's." Uncle Su smiled and compared with his hands.
Just as Song Chucheng was about to say something, he heard the sound of a car from behind. It should be Mr. Bai's car.
"Okay, we're leaving, you guys go in!" Uncle Su waved to Song Chucheng and the others.
"Chengzi, you guys go over there! Don't worry about your parents. I will call you the first time I get there." After saying this, Father Song drove away.
Seeing that the cars had gone far away, Song Chucheng took Moo Moo and walked towards the gate of the yard. Tiantian and Rourou didn't need her to hold their hands. They walked in front of her, one walked towards Dabai and the other walked towards the gate of the yard. Song Chucheng knew that Rourou wanted to get his small shovel.
Moo Moo likes to stick to her. When she sits at the door, Moo Moo likes to sit next to her and not disturb her while she is working. He plays by himself and sometimes calls out "Mom". When he sees that she responds, he happily starts playing again.
Song Chucheng taught Moo Moo to count 1, 2, 3 while knitting a sweater.
Rourou would play and shout a few words when he got interested...
Tiantian would also hum a little tune quietly...
About an hour later, before Song Chucheng saw her sister-in-law, she heard her voice.
"Auntie Orange, I'm back." Dabao ran over quickly.
"Bao, mommy, baby!" Rourou turned her head and said
At the same time, Moo Moo also said to Song Chucheng: "Big brother, mom, big brother."
"Yeah! Mom knows. Rourou Moo Moo must be happy that big brother is here, right?" Song Chucheng put down the work in his hands, kissed Moo Moo's forehead and chuckled.
"Sister, brother, Brother Dabao is here." Dabao shouted while carrying his schoolbag.
"Baby, baby, dig some bugs." Rourou was very happy as he waved the small shovel.
Dabao took Moo Moo over and said, "Moo Moo, little brother, I'll take you out to play."
Moo Moo was very willing to play with Dabao. When Dabao held his hand, he grinned and said, "Big brother, play, big brother, play."
Dabao took Moo Moo to her sister, and Rourou ran over automatically.
They started playing a game of hiding stones. Each person drew a small circle and hid the stone in the soil inside the circle, and asked the other person to find it.
"Sister-in-law, how come you can come back so soon?" Song Chucheng said as he looked at Xu Ningxue who was leaving.
The day before school started, her sister-in-law would not be back until around 5pm at the latest.
"There are four new teachers this year. With them around, we can relax a little."
"Tsk tsk" If it weren't for the old principal, I don't know how many more would have to be crammed in.
There are many young men and women in the staff quarters who go to the countryside together. Now, as soon as they have a sign of success and a job, they can return to the city. It is not only their teachers, but also the same in all the units outside. The work units are now more tense than ever, and everyone is keeping a close eye on them.
Song Chucheng knew without asking that the new teacher her sister-in-law was talking about was an educated youth. Their family compound had been bustling with activity recently, so how could it be elsewhere? Where there was competition, there was more going on.
"Who says it's not true? Miaomiao also said that there are two more lesbians on her side."
Without these two new female comrades, her sister would not be able to take a leave of absence for more than half a month, and would have to ask the female comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative to take her place.
"By the way, sister-in-law, my parents and Miaomiao just returned to Beijing with my uncle."
Song Chucheng poured a cup of tea for her sister-in-law and said.
"What?" Xu Ningxue was stunned. "Why so sudden?"
"My uncle had to go back to Beijing for urgent matters. When he saw my parents were there, he asked them to go with him so that he would have company when he came back. Mr. and Mrs. Bai also went with my uncle." Song Chucheng explained with a smile.
"Did something happen? Why did Uncle Su leave in such a hurry?" Xu Ningxue asked worriedly.
"Everything is fine at home, and my uncle didn't say anything else." Song Chucheng said hurriedly.
"I just came back with Dabao, and I saw Mr. and Mrs. Gu coming out of the military area and heading towards the dock. I wonder if they are the same as Uncle Su and the others?" Xu Ningxue remembered what she had just seen.
Song Chucheng guessed it had something to do with the college entrance exams and the return of educated youth to the city. "I guess they went back with my uncle and the others."
Song Chucheng picked up the sweater and continued knitting.
Xu Ningxue did the same. She picked up the work that Song's mother had done in the morning and continued knitting. The two sisters-in-law started chatting with each other.
"Auntie Orange, can I take my younger brother and sister to the small square downstairs to fly kites?" Dabao asked with a smile, scratching his head.
"Mom, Rourou, go! Go!" Rourou said, pulling her hand and stomping her feet.
"Well! Go! Go!" Song Chucheng patted the chubby little butt.
Turning back, he said to Dabao, "Dabao, Tiantian, take your brother to get the kite."
"Okay, Aunt Orange is the best." Dabao cheered.
"Aunt is the best. Tiantian loves you the most."
"Mom, okay, Mom!" Rourou also ran and shouted.
"Mom, hello, Mom." Moo Moo pulled Song Chucheng's trouser leg and said with a smile.
Song Chucheng tapped his little nose and said, "Go! Go play with your brothers."
"Go, go, go." He mooed as he walked out without stopping.
Seeing them walking away, Song Chucheng and her sister-in-law started knitting sweaters again.
"Sister-in-law, you all eat here tonight! We'll cook casserole porridge. Damao and the others caught some prawns and crabs this morning." Song Chucheng said after putting down the work in his hands.
