"It must be Mom and Dad who are back." The sound of footsteps was mixed with Xuanxuan's voice.
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu were relieved when they heard their son's voice. As long as he was okay,
The last incident with the human traffickers had already made them like frightened birds.
The door opened from the inside, and the twins excitedly jumped on them, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Gu are here."
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu were stunned. They looked up into the yard and saw Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua walking towards them with a smile.
"Shao Ting, Comrade Gu, you..." Han Zhenyu looked at them in surprise.
Jiang Shaoting smiled and nodded, "Zhenyu, we are back to work."
"Really? That's great." Han Zhenyu was happy for them, and said to Su Xieqiu beside him, "Wife, these are Chenchen's parents, Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Fanghua came over in a hurry. She held Su Xieqiu's hand tightly and said, "Sister Xieqiu, I don't know what to say now, because no words can express our gratitude."
Su Xieqiu held her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Fang Hua, you are too kind. Since Chenchen and An'an came to our home, they have brought us a lot of joy. Moreover, the two children are very obedient and well-behaved. We all like them very much."
Haohao and Xuanxuan turned around in front of them and showed off, "Dad, Mom, look, these are the clothes Aunt Gu bought for us. They are very warm."
"It's really beautiful." Su Xieqiu praised it a few words, then quickly invited Gu Fanghua and the others into the house.
Han Zhenyu parked his bicycle in the storage room, handed the shopping items to Grandma Du, and went to the main room to talk to them.
He handed Wu Heping a cigarette, then smiled and said to Jiang Shaoting: "Director Wu has helped me a lot in the past few years. He also helped me get a place for my cousin to join the army."
The reason why Han Zhenyu said this was because he was afraid that Wu Heping would be embarrassed and wanted to give him a way out.
It was also to tell Jiang Shaoting that they had a good relationship and Wu Heping did not distance himself from him because of the incident in his family.
Jiang Shaoting certainly understood what Han Zhenyu meant.
He sighed and said helplessly, "The situation was very unclear at the time, and we didn't dare to send the two children to our relatives' homes. We were afraid that the higher-ups would find out and implicate them, and we were also worried about the children's safety. Even now, the relatives at home don't know that the children are in the Northeast, and my cousin was the first to know."
After hearing what his cousin said, Wu Heping immediately felt relieved.
Their two families are so close that if the child is left in their home, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Han Zhenyu's family is different. He has no relationship with his cousin's family. Even if the higher-ups want to investigate, they can't find their way here.
Several people sat on the sofa and chatted happily
Wu Heping had some things to do at his unit, so after talking for a while, he prepared to go back.
He asked, "Shao Ting, Fang Hua, are you staying here tonight, or going to my place?"
Before Jiang Shaoting could speak, Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "Don't run back and forth. Just stay here. You have a place to sleep."
"Cousin, then just listen to Zhenyu." Jiang Shaoting said.
Wu Heping nodded, "Okay, come to my place for dinner tomorrow morning. Zhenyu and his sister-in-law will bring their children, as well as grandma and grandpa."
Jiang Shaoting looked at Han Zhenyu and asked what he meant.
Han Zhenyu certainly had no objection. Wu Heping only invited Jiang Shaoting and his wife, and his family was just there as a sideshow. It wouldn't matter if they didn't go, as they weren't many people there.
When they were sending Wu Heping out, Yuan Haoran ran out from the inner room and asked with a smile: "Uncle Han, can I take Uncle Wu's bike back? It's too cold in the morning, and I don't want to ride your bike."
In fact, Yuan Haoran saw that there were guests at their house and was afraid that there would not be enough room, so he thought of taking a ride back.
Han Zhenyu patted him on the head and said, "Stinky boy, why didn't you say you were cold when you came here?"
He smiled and said to Wu Heping: "Brother Wu, please give him a ride."
"No problem, get in the car."
After sending them both away, Su Xieqiu looked at the time and saw that it was time to prepare dinner, so she asked grandma to talk to Gu Fanghua while she went to the kitchen.
Su Xieqiu looked at the ingredients available at home and prepared to have hot pot in the evening.
After a while, Gu Fanghua and Grandma Du also came over.
The three of them washed, cut, and cooked, and they had dinner before dark.
After the children had eaten, they went to the kitchen to help clean up.
The adults were sitting in the living room chatting, and Han Zhenyu asked Jiang Shaoting, "Did you come directly from the farm?"
Jiang Shaoting shook his head. "When we received the document about resuming work, we felt a little uncertain, so we didn't dare to come here at that time. Instead, we chose to go back to Beijing first, and only took leave to come here after the work was settled."
"So that's how it is." Han Zhenyu said thankfully, "Although I suffered for a few years, I finally made it through."
Jiang Shaoting looked at him gratefully, "Zhenyu, to be honest, if you hadn't helped take care of Chenchen and An'an, and often sent the two children's information and photos over, Fang Hua and I really don't know if we could have held on until now."
"It's all over." Han Zhenyu poured him a cup of tea, interrupted the sad topic, and talked about the interesting stories of the two children over the years.
Su Xiaqiu and Grandma Du replaced the bed sheets and quilt covers in the two rooms with new ones.
Grandma Du whispered, "Zhenyu's wife, how about your grandpa and I go back and stay for a few days tomorrow, and come back after Chenchen's parents leave."
Su Xieqiu spread the bed and said with a smile, "Grandma, no need. There's enough room. You and the children can move into our room. Let An'an sleep with her mother, and Grandpa, Comrade Jiang, and Chenchen will sleep in the other room."
The kang in their room is very wide and can easily accommodate six or seven people.
Chenchen and Anan are about to go back with their parents.
Su Xieqiu also wanted to let his grandma and the others spend a few more days together. After all, the next time they would meet would probably be after the college entrance examination.
Grandma Du said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to my granddaughter-in-law."
The two of them made the kang, and the twins also boiled water for washing.
"Chenchen, An'an, take mom and dad to wash up first. They have been on the bus for several days, so they should go to bed early tonight."
"Okay, Aunt Su." Chenchen and Anan held their father and mother respectively, and went to the washroom in the back with clothes.
After spending half a day together, the two have become very close with their parents.
Su Xieqiu thought with relief that, after all, blood is thicker than water. Even if they haven't seen each other for a few years, the deep emotional bond is still tightly connected.
In recent years, Su Xieqiu often mentioned Chenchen and Anan's parents in front of the two children and showed them their photos every night, just because he didn't want them to become estranged from their parents.
Although she helped take care of other people's children, if Chenchen and Anan, who she raised, forgot their own parents, she would only be close to their family.
The Jiang family and the Gu family must be feeling uncomfortable. After a long time, it will no longer be a favor.
