Only when they reached the square outside did Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why are there so many people? It feels like there are more than during the Chinese New Year." Su Xieqiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.
Du Yuejuan held Tiantian and Anan's hands and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it must be because of the holiday. The bus feels very crowded."
Su Xieqiu nodded, "Yuejuan, are you and Huazhang on vacation?"
"Sister-in-law, not yet. Our holiday here is later, I won't have it until next Saturday. Hua Zhang has to go out for training, so he won't have a holiday now, he will have a holiday during the Chinese New Year."
Han Zhenyu and Li Huazhang were also talking quietly, "Our military academy doesn't have a summer vacation. We have to go to the south for training in two days. I can't accompany you this time. We can only wait until the New Year to get together again."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Han Zhenyu patted his shoulder and asked with concern: "Is the training intense? Can your body handle it?"
"No problem at all. The training here is far different from that in the army. Learning is the main thing."
"That's good." Han Zhenyu reminded again, "You have a family now, so be careful in everything you do. Your health is the most important thing."
"I know." Li Huazhang nodded with a smile, "How are you guys doing in Beijing? Are grandma and the kids used to it?"
"I'm so used to it that grandma doesn't even want to come back. I'll tell you in detail when we get home."
Li Huazhang was a little surprised. Aren't old people homesick? He was so happy after leaving home that he didn't even want to come back. Is Beijing so good?
He said, "Let's go home first. Yuejuan and I have already prepared breakfast, and we can talk while we eat."
Han Zhenyu nodded and looked around while waiting for the bus.
There are many breakfast shops near the train station, as well as people selling snacks by the window, so it's very lively.
The last time they went to Beijing, there was nothing like this. It has only been half a year, and the changes are really huge.
Li Huazhang and Du Yuejuan rented a small courtyard in the provincial capital, very close to Du Yuejuan's school.
Grandma Du didn't see her daughter-in-law, so she asked in confusion, "Yuejuan, your mother has two more children?"
Du Yuejuan put the peeled eggs in her bowl and said with a smile: "Grandma, my brother will take the college entrance examination soon. Xiaobo and Haitang are on vacation, so my mother took them back."
Grandma Du wanted to show off her business to her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that she had already left.
But she really wanted to share her good news with others. After breakfast, she followed her granddaughter to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
"Grandma, there are only a few bowls. I'll wash them. You and my sister-in-law can go to the main room to rest."
"I'm not tired." Grandma Du said to Su Xieqiu with a smile, "Mrs. Zhenyu, this place is small. Please go to the main room. I will talk to Yuejuan."
She was afraid that Su Xieqiu would not leave, so she winked at her, meaning that she wanted to have a private conversation with her granddaughter and it was not convenient for her to stay here.
Su Xieqiu understood what the old lady was going to do, and left the kitchen with a smile. She thought this old lady was really interesting, afraid that others would not know that she was making money by doing business in the capital.
The children were playing in the yard. Su Xiaqiu saw Han Zhenyu and Li Huazhang talking in the main room, so she didn't go over.
She opened her suitcase and took out a few clothes, which she brought for Du Yuejuan, and two shirts of Li Huazhang.
Han Zhenyu was asking about Li Huazhang's savings, and also told him about Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang buying a house in Beijing.
"If you have extra money, buy two shops. I will rent them out to you. It's better than keeping the money in your hands."
Li Huazhang was very interested in his proposal, and he also noticed the policy changes this year. Most importantly, he believed in Han Zhenyu's vision.
The two have been colleagues for several years and know each other's personalities very well.
Han Zhenyu is not someone who likes to make decisions for others. Even if they are very close, he only gives suggestions.
This time he was directly told to go to Beijing to buy a house, which meant he must have received first-hand information.
Li Huazhang said: "The money in the family is all with Yuejuan. I don't know exactly how much there is, but it should be several thousand. I will ask Yuejuan later."
When he was discharged from the army, he brought back more than 3,000 yuan. With what he earned over the years, it should be no problem for him to buy a shop.
Han Zhenyu waved his hand, "Don't worry, you two should discuss it first. Isn't Yuejuan going back home for the holidays? It won't be too late to talk about it then."
"That's fine." Li Huazhang asked about the prices of houses and shops in Beijing and got a rough idea in his mind.
In the kitchen, Grandma Du was mysteriously showing off her business in Beijing to her granddaughter.
"Grandma, what did you say? You sell clothes in Beijing? You earned more than 200 yuan in 20 days?" Du Yuejuan almost dropped the bowl in her hand to the ground.
She looked at the old lady in front of her in surprise, thinking, is grandma confused? Otherwise, why would she talk nonsense?
Grandma Du raised her head proudly, "Yuejuan, I only go to the stall every morning, so I don't sell as much as your aunt. She makes 500 yuan a month, which is half more than me."
Du Yuejuan opened her mouth halfway and forgot to wash the bowl in her hands. It took her a while to react.
She looked at her grandmother suspiciously, "Grandma, are you telling the truth? My aunt really makes 500 yuan a month? Is reselling clothes so profitable?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, go ask your brother and sister-in-law." Grandma Du took her granddaughter's hand, glanced outside, and muttered softly.
"If your brother and sister-in-law hadn't insisted that I come back, I would be setting up a stall in the vegetable market at this time. Oh, it really delayed my earning money."
Grandma Du sighed as she spoke, "Yuejuan, I'm telling you the truth. Although I'm back, my heart is still in Beijing. I'll be ready to go back after your brother finishes the college entrance examination, otherwise my place will be taken by someone else."
Du Yuejuan listened to the old lady talking about business and hesitated for a moment, but still reminded her.
"Grandma, you and your aunt are reselling clothes in Beijing City, that's speculation. My brother and sister-in-law have finally been admitted to a university in Beijing City, you can't affect them for the sake of making money."
"Your brother and your sister-in-law said it's okay. Your eldest aunt and I were asked to do this business by them."
As soon as Grandma Du finished speaking, Su Xieqiu stood at the door and said with a smile: "Grandma, Zhenyu and I only let Auntie do it, but not you. You carried us to buy clothes and to set up a stall in the market. Don't you realize how old you are? When we return to Beijing this time, you can't do it anymore."
Grandma Du got anxious when she heard this. "Zhenyu, I'm still young. Let me work for a few more years. I'm going to bring your aunt over this time and let her work with me."
Although the old lady helps her grandson take care of his children, she still often thinks about her youngest son's family.
Her two grandsons haven't started their own families yet, so she needs her son and daughter-in-law to earn some money for their marriages in the future.
"Grandma, my aunt has to help my cousin take care of the children. She followed us to Beijing. What about Xiaobo and Haitang?" Su Xieqiu asked her with a smile.
Grandma Du waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this. I've already thought about it."
"When Zhongjun is admitted to university, your uncle will be free. Let him come to the provincial capital to take care of Yuejuan's children, and let your aunt and I go to Beijing to earn money."
Su Xieqiu: “…”
Du Yuejuan: “…”
