The two of them will also have their own children and their own lives. She should also have the life that these older generations have lived.
But how could this be? Why would their baby come looking for them at this time?
Thinking of this, Grandma quickly pulled the person in her arms up and gently coaxed, "Ningning, you can see Grandpa and Grandma now. Dad and Mom are living very well here. Look, this yard is the one we chose together back then."
Your grandfather and parents have managed the yard very well over the years. Look, isn't this exactly what we wanted?
Ningning, look how well we are doing now, so listen to your grandma and go back quickly. You are still young, and you have a long life ahead of you. You can't come here so early!
"Good child, listen to your grandma. We won't go anywhere. We'll wait for you here until you've lived your life to the fullest, without any regrets. Then you can come back to us. Now, please listen to your grandma and go back, okay?"
The old woman, her face full of anxiety, hurriedly called out to the others, "What are you all standing there for! Come and help me take Ningning back home. If she stays here too long, she might not be able to go back."
With her grandmother's reminder, the mother, who was crying her eyes out, the father, who was full of reluctance, and the grandfather, who had a loving look on their faces, finally reacted and worked together to push Chen Shuning, who had already stepped into the yard, back out of the yard.
No matter how much Chen Shuning called out, it was to no avail. Finally, after being pushed out of the courtyard, Chen Shuning woke up from her dream with a start after a feeling of weightlessness.
Startled awake, Chen Shuning saw He Chaoyang's face, filled with tension and concern, through her blurry, tear-filled eyes.
Feeling abandoned by her family, Chen Shuning vented all her grievances through tears, throwing herself into He Chaoyang's arms and crying loudly without a care in the world.
Even He Chaoyang, who could remain calm and composed under harsh conditions on the battlefield, panicked at this moment.
He held her in his arms and comforted her gently: "It's alright, it's alright, don't cry. If you really miss home, we'll buy tickets and go back tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll talk to the educated youth office."
"Sweetie, don't cry!"
He Chaoyang heard Chen Shuning crying and calling for her father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother in her dream, so he just assumed that Chen Shuning was homesick.
Seeing the little girl crying so sadly, he decided to take her back home to visit her. Whether the vacation was enough was no longer a concern for him; he could simply take his vacation early this year.
Chen Shuning's heart-wrenching cries quickly woke up Chen Jiandang, who was standing next to her. Hearing his sister crying, Chen Jiandang sat up abruptly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Brother He? What happened to my sister?"
"She probably dreamt that her aunt and uncle were homesick. It's okay. Jian Dang, go get your sister a glass of warm water. She'll be thirsty if she keeps crying like this."
Actually, He Chaoyang was also confused. After dinner, the siblings were drunk and fell asleep, while he was the only one who was still sober. After cleaning up the dishes, he also tidied up the kitchen.
Just as they added firewood to the stove and brought it into the house, they heard Chen Shuning muttering something about her parents and grandparents not leaving her alone again.
Seeing the little girl crying and shouting, he thought she might be having a nightmare. Just as he was about to go over and wake her up, Chen Shuning woke up on her own.
And then this is the scene we see now: as soon as the little girl woke up, she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, without saying a word.
He was also very curious about what the little girl had dreamed about, and why she was crying so sadly.
Chen Jiandang had no doubts about He Chaoyang's words and immediately got out of bed, slipped on his shoes, and went to the kitchen to pour warm water.
Chen Jiandang felt it was normal for his sister to miss home. He had only been here for a few days and already missed home a lot, even though he would be able to go home in a couple of days.
But his sister has been here for a long time, and he can only go home during the Chinese New Year, so it's normal for him to miss home.
Just as Chen Jiandang picked up the kettle, he heard someone knocking on the door. He quickly put down the kettle and went to open the door.
Liu Shumei and Zhong Lingling heard Chen Shuning crying and came to check on her, but when they saw that Chen Jiandang, who opened the door, didn't seem to be in any trouble, they didn't go inside. Instead, they asked directly, "Jiandang, what happened to your sister?"
"Sister Shumei, Sister Lingling, it's okay, my sister just misses home."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shumei understood. Everyone had gone through this process; she had experienced the same thing when she first arrived.
Back then, they all lived together, and they would secretly cry under the covers, with no one to comfort them.
Listening to He Chaoyang's low words of comfort from inside the room, Liu Shumei was quite envious of Chen Shuning. She had her own room as soon as she arrived, and her lover could comfort her when she missed home.
Thinking that it was just homesickness, it wasn't a big deal, and besides, Chen Shuning had his wife and younger brother with him, so the two of them didn't go inside, but turned around and walked back.
On the way, he saw Gu Xinyi, who had also heard crying, coming over. He told her what had happened, and Gu Xinyi didn't go over there anymore.
Gu Xinyi, on the other hand, was also reminded of her family by Chen Shuning's crying. After returning to her room, she lost her appetite for making dumplings and hid under the covers to secretly shed tears.
The houses in the backyard were next to each other, and Liu Shumei's voice was quite loud, so even those who hadn't come out could hear her.
They were all new educated youth sent to the countryside for the first time. How could they not miss home? It was fine if no one said anything, but once someone started to say it, the longing for family became unbearable.
For a time, almost every house in the backyard was filled with intermittent cries, some suppressed, some unrestrained.
