When the spring planting was over, a tall man in military uniform came to the Sanhua Brigade.
He carried two large suitcases and went straight to Han Zhenyu's house.
Grandma Du and Grandpa Du were tidying up their private plot in the backyard with their three children.
Su Xieqiu was sitting on the swing reading a book. When she heard a knock on the door, she stood up and asked, "Who is it?"
"Xie Qiu, it's me, Gu Fangxun."
Su Xieqiu was surprised for a moment, and quickly opened the gate, "Comrade Fang Xun, why are you here? Come in quickly."
While letting people into the house, she shouted towards the backyard, "Grandma, Grandpa, Fang Xun is here! Come over here quickly."
Gu Fangxun put his luggage in the main room. Before he could say anything, Haohao and Xuanxuan came running in from the backyard.
The two of them threw themselves into his arms, hugged his waist and said affectionately: "Uncle, you are finally back, we missed you so much."
Gu Fangxun laughed and hugged them, "Uncle missed you too, so I came here specially to pick you up this time."
The twins looked at him in surprise, and Haohao asked in confusion: "Uncle, where are you taking us?"
Gu Fangxun patted their buttocks and said, "I'll take you to Beijing to play for a while. Your brothers and sisters miss you, but they can't come back because of school. Your aunt Gu called me and asked me to pick you up to play."
The twins screamed with joy. Xuanxuan excitedly pulled him and asked, "Uncle, is it true? Can you really take us to find our brothers and sisters?"
"Of course it's true. When has your uncle ever lied to you?" Gu Fangxun saw Grandma Du and Grandpa Du coming over. He put the two children down and quickly greeted the two elders.
"Grandma, Grandpa, are you two in good health?"
"Okay, I'm fine." Grandma Du pulled him to sit down.
Grandpa Du followed behind with a smile.
Su Xieqiu had already made tea, and the twins quickly packed fruits and snacks.
Gu Fangxun saw Tiantian standing at the door, picked her up and let her sit on his lap.
Haohao said to his sister: "Tiantian, come and call uncle, this is our uncle."
Tiantian glanced at Gu Fangxun shyly, then smiled with her tiny teeth showing, and said obediently, "Hello, uncle."
"Tiantian is so good."
Gu Fangxun opened his luggage bag, which was filled with specialties from the northwest, the most eye-catching of which was a large dried leg of lamb.
He took out a bag of dried persimmons and gave them to the three children. He then said to Su Xieqiu and Grandpa Du, "I have been transferred to the Jingshi Military Region. This time I am going back to report."
"That's great." Grandpa Du was happy for them: "Fang Xun, your family can finally be reunited."
Gu Fangxun smiled and nodded, "Grandma, Grandpa, Xie Qiu, I came here just to see you. My sister and brother-in-law knew I was coming here, so they called me and asked me to take the three children to Beijing to live for a while. I hope you can agree."
Grandma Du and Grandpa Du did not speak rashly. They looked at Su Xieqiu and let her decide whether to go or not.
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "Fang Xun, the kids are very naughty, I'm afraid I'll bother you if I go."
It’s not that she was worried. Since the other person came to pick it up in person, he must have come with sincerity.
But she knows her own child well. He is diligent and polite, but too noisy.
Parents think their children are good in every way and tolerate their minor flaws. But it is different for others, and they will get annoyed after a long time.
Gu Fangxun looked at the beautiful little girl in his arms and the adorable twins. The more he looked at them, the more he loved them. He wished he could take them home and raise them immediately.
"Xie Qiu, the children are so well-behaved, we love them so much, how can we feel annoyed? Chenchen and Anan miss you too. I heard from my sister that the two children call the twins' names in their dreams. Especially Anan, she cried secretly many times."
Su Xieqiu felt a little sad when hearing this. They also missed Chenchen and Anan. The twins missed Chenchen and Anan all day long. Even Tiantian often asked, where were their brothers and sisters?
She thought for a moment and said, "Fang Xun, let Haohao and Xuanxuan go and live there for a while. Tiantian is too young, so I won't let her go this time. I'm afraid she won't be used to it and will make a fuss at night."
"Okay, I'll come pick her up when Tiantian is a little older."
Gu Fangxun touched Tiantian's head. The little girl was holding a persimmon cake in her hand and eating it in small bites. She noticed his gaze and smiled at him.
Seeing this smile, Gu Fangxun felt his heart melt. He stood up and hugged her high up. The laughter in the room could be heard from far away.
Su Xieqiu and Grandma Du went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Grandpa Du and the twins were in the main room talking to Gu Fangxun.
"Grandpa, what time does Zhenyu get off work?" Gu Fangxun asked.
Grandpa Du poured him some more tea and said with a smile, "Zhenyu went on a business trip to Hai City. He just left the day before yesterday. I'm afraid he won't be back for a few days."
"Oh, that's a pity. I won't be able to see him this time."
"Fang Xun, you've come here with great difficulty, so stay a few more days and wait until Zhenyu comes back before leaving." Grandpa Du warmly tried to keep him.
Gu Fangxun said regretfully: "Grandpa, I also want to stay a few more days, but this time I can't. I have to go back to report, and I have to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."
He originally had a month's vacation, and before coming here, he went to visit a comrade who was injured and discharged from the army.
Unexpectedly, something happened at that comrade's home and he was delayed there for a few days, so he couldn't stay here for longer.
When Grandpa Du heard that he was going back to report, he said sensibly, "Don't delay the business. Since it's so urgent, you should go first, and let Zhenyu pick up Haohao and Xuanxuan later, and you can meet again then."
"Grandpa, there's no need for Zhenyu to pick them up. If Haohao and Xuanxuan miss home, my sister and brother-in-law will send them back. If they can't spare the time, I'll come over."
