Chapter 36 Meeting Jingshi's Family
"Xiao Jingyan, where are you going?"
"go back."
"You little brat, didn't you promise me that you would come back? Now that we're here, you want to go back again?"
"Uncle He, what I promised from the beginning was to send you back. I never promised you to go back to that place."
After arriving in Beijing, Xiao Jingyan carried the luggage and sent the family of three to the outside of the train station. After saying hello, he turned around and was about to go back when he was stopped by He Yunzhou. Lin Nuan was confused by their conversation.
On the way here, Lin Nuan noticed that there was something wrong with Xiao Jingyan's mood. Although it looked no different from usual and those emotions were very subtle, she still noticed it.
On the train, the two of them lived in the upper bunk, while He Yunzhou and Wang Xiaoli lived in the lower bunk.
Lin Nuan discovered that the closer they got to Beijing, the more absent-minded Xiao Jingyan became, and she could often see him in a daze.
Moreover, when he was in a trance, a cold aura would emanate from his whole body, making people feel chilled to the bone.
Lin Nuan stood aside with a lot of question marks in her mind. She didn't understand what the two people meant, but she could still see that Xiao Jingyan's home was also in Beijing. It seemed that he had some conflicts with his family and didn't want to go home.
From what he said, it seemed that he had not been home for four years. What kind of contradiction could make a person not go home for four years?
No one could answer Lin Nuan's question.
After all, it was Xiao Jingyan's private matter, and even Wang Xiaoli didn't know everything. She only knew that Xiao Jingyan's parents divorced when he was very young, and he lived with his mother. After his mother died, he joined the army, and his biological father had remarried.
Everything Wang Xiaoli knew was told to her by He Yunzhou.
Every time when talking about Xiao Jingyan, He Yunzhou always had a sad face and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Even if some things were not said, he knew that there must be a lot of inside stories. This was one of the reasons why Wang Xiaoli was so good to Xiao Jingyan. It was inevitable that she felt some pity for him. Xiao Jingyuan was particularly good at pleasing people, so she gradually liked him more and more and loved him like her own child.
He Yunzhou was so angry that he jumped up and down, "You little bastard, you're trying to trick me like this. Now that we're here, you're going to die if you go home!"
You can tell from the look of him that he is very angry.
This time, Xiao Jingyan didn't even turn his head and continued walking.
Lin Nuan looked at his back and felt a sense of loneliness and sadness, and now she also saw a kind of determination.
She had never seen Xiao Jingyan like this before.
In her impression, Xiao Jingyan has always been quite gentle. Although he sometimes looks a little cynical, he is like a tiger on the training ground.
Wang Xiaoli held He Yunzhou's hand, looked at Xiao Jingyan's receding back, and comforted him to help him calm down.
"Yunzhou, don't worry. The child has grown up and has his own ideas. If he doesn't want to, even if you tie him back, it won't solve the problem. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."
"Alas!" He Yunzhou sighed, "Just like his father when he was young, a stubborn donkey..."
As he was talking, before he had finished speaking, someone came hurriedly over.
"Old He, this is my sister-in-law and niece, right? Hello, my name is Xiao Yuanshan."
Wang Xiaoli also quickly greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Brother Yuanshan."
Lin Nuan followed behind and called out politely and sweetly, "Uncle Xiao is fine."
Xiao Yuanshan also responded with a smile, but his eyes were always searching, as if he was looking for something.
Aren’t you looking for Xiao Jingyan?
Looks quite anxious.
He Yunzhou glanced into the crowd and could no longer find Xiao Jingyan, so he sighed again.
"Old Xiao, stop looking for him. The guy has already left. He ran away, leaving us here, as if he was afraid of a dog chasing him. Didn't I tell you that we would arrive at the station at about the same time? I finally tricked that guy into coming here, but you betrayed me. I told you to come to the station early and wait for him, so why did you come so late?"
Even if it was a few minutes earlier, the father and son could have met each other. It was such a waste of his time to create such a good opportunity.
As the saying goes, love comes from meeting someone.
I can't even see you, what else can I say?
Xiao Yuanshan probably saw Wang Xiaoli and Lin Nuan there, so he didn't say much.
"I was planning to come and wait for you early in the morning, but I got stuck just as I was about to go out. That's why I was delayed. That kid is so shrewd. He must know what we are planning. Let's just forget it. We have a long time to go. Let's talk about it later.
Now that everyone has left, I say you should go back and don’t let your uncle and aunt wait anxiously at home.”
After saying that, he bent down to help with the luggage.
Xiao Yuanshan personally drove the person to the military compound in Beijing City, and then to the He family villa. He said hello and left.
As soon as the car stopped, a group of people came out of the villa. The He family had known for a long time that He Yunzhou would bring Wang Xiaoli and Lin Nuan, mother and daughter, back today, so the whole family stayed at home waiting.
Walking in front were two old people, followed by a middle-aged couple, and behind them were two young men.
He Weiguo is an old leader who has retired from the military region. Even though he is now over 60 years old, he still looks very energetic, with an upright posture, and he gives people a very majestic feeling when he stands there.
When Tan Xiuwan was young, she was a member of the military region art troupe. Naturally, she had a good appearance to be able to join the art troupe. After marrying He Weiguo, she devoted herself to raising their children at home. However, it was said that she had a bad temper, but you couldn't tell from her appearance. Even though she has many wrinkles on her face now, you can tell that she must have been a rare beauty when she was young.
He Yunyang was also a soldier when he was young. After retiring from the army, he went to work in the government and had the aura of a superior.
Qi Shiya now runs a foreign trade company and is a big boss. She doesn't look like a pretty girl next door, but she looks bright and generous, giving people a very refreshing feeling.
The two people following behind are the two sons of He Yunyang and Qi Shiya. The eldest son, He Tianxiang, is 21 years old this year. He is currently a senior student at Peking University and is about to graduate from university.
The second son, He Tianyu, is 19 years old this year and is a freshman at Peking University.
The family finally met before the Chinese New Year.
After He Yunzhou's introduction, Wang Xiaoli and Lin Nuan greeted the He family members one by one.
Tan Xiuwan's eyes were red as she watched her youngest son and his family standing together. She had been looking forward to such a scene for more than ten years, and finally it came. Before, she thought her youngest son would be lonely all his life.
She was a little excited and said several times, "Good, good, good, very good!"
He Weiguo had a kind smile on his face and patted Tan Xiuwan's hand. The marriage of their youngest son has always been a concern for the old couple.
Now that my worries are gone, I am naturally happy.
"It's cold outside, come inside!"
Then he directed the two grandsons who followed behind him, "Tianxiang, Tianyu, the two of you quickly take your uncle, aunt, and sister Nuannuan's luggage into the house."
Tan Xiuwan also calmed down and said, "Yes, yes, yes, hurry inside, it's cold outside."
As he said that, he walked up and grabbed Wang Xiaoli, "You must be tired from the journey! Look how cold your hands are." As he spoke, he glared at He Yunzhou, pushed him aside, and dragged him home.
He Yunzhou shook his head helplessly.
