Han Zhenyu came back in the evening and went to Roger's place first. The machinery factory would have a bus to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow and could give them a ride.
Roger remembered to go back immediately, looking around nostalgically, "Brother Zhenyu, I really don't want to leave here!"
He gazed at the courtyard where he had lived for many years, his heart filled with memories and emotions of the past years.
Han Zhenyu patted his shoulder and said, "Come back if you miss home. The brigade will take back your house. You can stay at my place when you come back. No matter when, as long as there is a place for me in Sanhua Brigade, there will be a place for you to stay."
Roger smiled happily, "Thank you, brother."
"Pack your things tomorrow, and we will leave at six o'clock the day after tomorrow morning. I have told the driver from the factory that we have children at home, so please ask him to work hard for a while and then come to Sanhua Brigade to pick you up." Han Zhenyu reminded him as he walked back.
Roger walked him to the door and said with a smile, "I know, brother, I have almost packed my things and can leave anytime."
Han Zhenyu waved his hand and returned to his yard.
The table in the main room was filled with washed vegetables, and there was fragrant bone soup stewing on the stove, which made people's appetite whetted at the mere smell.
Su Xieqiu was mixing the seasoning. Looking at Han Zhenyu who was surrounded by the children, she said with a smile, "You're back. Sit on the kang to warm up for a while. Dinner will be served soon."
"Okay." Han Zhenyu hung his coat on the hanger and took a look at the hot pot ingredients on the table.
There were both meat and vegetables, and it was very rich, and he was so hungry that he looked hungry.
"Wife, shall we have hot pot tonight?"
"Yes, I haven't eaten it for a long time. I went to the city to buy some vegetables today." Su Xieqiu picked up a fried peanut and put it in his mouth, saying regretfully: "It's a pity that grandma and grandpa didn't have the pleasure of eating it."
"Are they going back?"
Su Xieqiu smiled and nodded, "My uncle and aunt came to pick us up this afternoon. They said they would go to Beijing with us soon. They want to go back and talk to their old neighbors. They won't celebrate the New Year at our house this year."
"I said I would see them off tomorrow, but I didn't expect them to leave today."
Han Zhenyu hadn't seen his precious daughter since he entered the house. He asked, "Did Tiantian go with them?"
"Dad, my uncle and aunt said they missed us and wanted us to stay with them for a few days. But my brother and I haven't had our holiday yet, so we asked my sister to go first. My uncle will come pick us up after the school is on holiday."
Haohao explained to his father with a smile, and then put a cup of hot tea in his hand.
She said sensibly, "Dad, drink some water to warm yourself up first. Many of the dishes today are your favorites. Mom said you work hard, so she made them especially for you."
"Thank you, son." Han Zhenyu took the water and touched his head with satisfaction.
During the meal, Su Xieqiu said to the father and his two sons, "Today I called Chenchen and An'an and told them that we were admitted to the university. The children were very happy. They asked when we would come over, and they went to clean up the house in advance."
Han Zhenyu put the cooked beef slices in Su Xieqiu's bowl.
"The factory is going on a business trip to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. I'll go with them to see Xiaojie off. I'll buy the tickets and then call them to discuss the date."
"Wow, I can see my big brother and sister after the New Year. I'm so happy."
Haohao and Xuanxuan were very happy. While eating, the two brothers discussed what local specialties and gifts to bring for their older brothers and sisters.
The north wind was blowing outside, and the family was eating hot pot in a warm atmosphere, chatting about their life after moving to Beijing.
………
Beijing Military District compound.
Chenchen and Anan were helping grandma in the kitchen. When they heard their parents talking in the living room, Anan ran out immediately.
"Dad, Mom, Aunt Su called this morning and said that she and Uncle Han were admitted to a university in Beijing and will be here to enroll after the New Year."
Gu Fanghua, who was changing shoes, turned around in surprise, "An An, is this true? Your Aunt Su also got into college?"
The day before yesterday, Brother Bai called his father and younger brother and told them that Han Zhenyu had been admitted to Peking University. Unexpectedly, Su Xieqiu was also admitted.
"It's true. Aunt Su told us personally."
An An held Gu Fanghua's arm and said proudly, "Mom, don't you think Uncle Han and Aunt Su are amazing? They both got into college."
"Yes, it's amazing." Gu Fanghua hugged An An, thought for a moment and said, "When we are on holiday, we will clean up your Uncle Han's house and buy some daily necessities. Then we won't have to work so hard when they come."
"Mom, you and I are thinking the same thing. We are truly a close mother and daughter, and we understand each other so well." An An has a very sweet mouth and makes the elders in the family laugh every day.
Gu Fanghua looked at the clever little girl in his arms, with the corners of his mouth raised high.
She was really grateful to Han Zhenyu and his wife for educating Chenchen and Anan so well.
The two children left their parents at such a young age, but they didn't feel strange at all after they came back. They were so close to each other as if they had never been apart. She was really relieved.
Jiang Shaoting came out of the bathroom and said with a smile, "We still have to find a good school for Haohao and Xuanxuan in advance, preferably one that is closer to home so that it is convenient for pick-up and drop-off."
Jiang Peiyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the newspaper and said to his son, "Once Zhenyu and his wife go to school, how can they have time to take care of the children? Why not let them go to school with Chenchen and Anan in the compound? It's safe here."
"Dad, will it be inconvenient? With more children, they will definitely be noisy. Don't disturb you and mom's rest."
Gu Fanghua actually hopes that the children can live with him.
But the house belongs to her parents-in-law, and her brother-in-law is getting married soon. She is afraid that there will be conflicts over time when so many people live together.
