Chapter 418 Fear of Becoming a Burden



The next morning, they went to Lu City with their grandparents and Uncle Wu.

"The last time I lived outside of Beijing was more than ten years ago. At that time, I was displaced and extremely unstable. I was tossing around in various places, just like fighting a guerrilla war. Now that I am old, when I think about those days, I still miss them a little."

Grandma Yan was sitting on the plane, looking at the white clouds outside the window, feeling filled with emotion.

When I was young, there were constant wars.

Wherever there is a mission, the old man must go there immediately, and he spends very little time at home.

Later, when the environment calmed down a bit, she followed the army and moved with her children when the station changed. People often leave the same place soon after they get familiar with it.

In their lifetime, their family had lived in nine different places, and they had never returned to some of them.

This is my first time to go to Lu City.

"Weren't you afraid?"

"It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything happening to me. I'm afraid of something happening to your grandfather and your father and his children."

"Your grandfather is not only the pillar of the family, he also shoulders the responsibility of defending the country and protecting the safety of the people."

"Besides, compared to your father and his friends, they were still very young at the time. They were the hope and future of the country. Every one of them was indispensable to me."

“You’re important to them, too.”

"Those unstable days are gone, and every day from now on will be very beautiful."

"At my age, I am very content to have the life I have now."

"I used to hope to live to see Ziyuan get married. Now that he has you, he doesn't have to worry about his offspring anymore. As for the next generation of little ones, let your parents worry about them. I'm old~"

"Grandma, you are not old, you are still very young."

"Ziyuan and I are still thinking about asking you to help us when our child is born."

"If you don't mind, grandma will help you take care of it!"

"We absolutely don't mind. You take such good care of the children at home. We are so happy to have your help."

Perhaps the thing that older people fear most is not being needed by their family and becoming a burden to everyone.

She didn't really want her grandmother to help them take care of the children in the future, but as they were used to being busy, she would feel more at ease if she found something for her to do.

In less than three hours, they landed safely at the airport.

After picking up my luggage, I arrived at the exit and Uncle Li came up to me excitedly.

"Commander, Li Yunhua from Lu City Military District reports to you!"

He saluted Grandpa Yan with a standard military salute.

"Put your hands down. I'm not here for an inspection. This is just a private trip. Just treat it as a vacation."

"Okay~"

"Uncle Yan, the car is already parked at the door, and the family has prepared the food. Let's go over now."

"Well, lead the way."

"You kid, I called you so many times and asked you to come to my house for dinner, but in the end I came here in person."

"I'm so busy. I'm like a top every day. I can't take any time off."

"How long do you and Aunt Tao plan to stay in Lu City this time?"

"I don't have any plans. Anyway, we old couple don't have much to do. We will return to Beijing when we don't want to live here anymore."

"That's great."

"Don't expect to find me for anything. I'm busy!"

Grandpa Yan knew exactly what the person he had brought up was thinking. He wanted him to help with things, but it was impossible!

"You misunderstood. I just thought that the remaining room of Ziyuan and his family was too small and it would not be comfortable for two people to live in. I wanted you to live in our house and let Xingmin live in the small room."

"real?"

Grandpa Yan looked like he didn't believe you.

"Absolutely."

If the old man could live in their house, he wouldn't be able to refuse if he had something to discuss, right?

Before moving in, he definitely wouldn't say "I need your help with something", otherwise, given the old man's temper, it would be absolutely impossible.

"We'll talk about it when we get there."

After leaving the station and standing in front of the car, Song Fuyu suddenly felt an urge to drive.

"Hua Zi, how about letting me drive back?"

"Sister-in-law, are you driving?"

Huazi is skeptical about this.

"What's wrong? I have a driver's license now."

Although it was temporary, she managed to pass the exam successfully.

“Is this true or false?”

"Sister-in-law, do you have proof?"

"Yes, it's in the bag."

“Tsk tsk~~”

“Awesome guy!”

Huazi got out of the driver's seat and gave his seat to Song Fuyu.

He wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but Yan Ziyuan forced him to sit in the back seat. He had to experience his wife's driving skills from a first-person perspective.

From Jiefang brand trucks to the military jeeps at this time, Song Fuyu is very familiar with them.

Father Yan has helped her complete all the procedures required to buy a car. She only needs to give the certificate to Uncle Li for signature when she returns, and then she can pick up the car directly.

It was a wonderful thought, she was finally going to be a car owner.

"Sister-in-law, your driving skills are really good. If you don't know me, you might think you are an experienced driver with many years of experience."

"How is it? Pretty solid, right? Even though he just got the certificate, his skills are pretty good."

"Indeed, you can drive on this kind of gravel road like this, which is amazing."

Yan Ziyuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly. It was said that his wife had ten years of driving experience in her previous life. Wasn't she an experienced driver?

When they arrived at the family compound, Li Yunhua was surprised to find out that Song Fuyu was driving their car.

"Xiao Yu, can you drive?"

"I stayed in Beijing for so long this time just to get my driver's license."

"She is now eligible to buy a car. Changsheng has gone through the formalities for her. Please sign and send someone to pick up the car for her."

"Oh my god, the troops have cars coming in and out, why are you buying a separate one?"

"Well, it would be more convenient if I had my own car."

"We can go to Qin City whenever we want, without having to accommodate the transportation vehicle's schedule."

"Okay, give me the list later."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

When Wu Hong heard the sound, she quickly trotted out of the kitchen.

"Uncle Yan, Aunt Tao, welcome! Come in and have a seat. Dinner will be served soon."

"It's hard for you to prepare such a large table of dishes by yourself."

"It's not hard. Many of them were given to me by Xiao Yu before. I just stir-fry them in the pan and eat them directly."

"But you guys, you must be tired after sitting in the car for such a long time, right?"

"Fortunately, Xiaoyu kept me company and talked to me along the way, introducing some things about Lu City, so the time passed fairly quickly."

"Yunhua, hurry up and bring out the wine. Let's have a couple of drinks at noon today."

"Okay!"
