"Don't worry about them. Let them solve their own problems. I just want us to live a few more years and watch our eldest grandson grow up. This way I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I won't be able to close my eyes when I die."

"Don't say such things." Grandpa Chu said unhappily, "Why don't you come to Deputy Director Cheng's house more often in the future? I always feel that his house has good feng shui and can prolong one's life."

"I'm a little embarrassed."

"Just be thick-skinned. I'm old enough not to be embarrassed."

The two old people went home chatting and laughing.

…

On the evening of the 26th, the two of them packed a large cloth bag for Chu Luo, stuffed two sets of clothes and toiletries into it.

"Xiao Luo, when you go to someone else's house, you must be polite and know etiquette. Don't run around. If you're afraid that you'll get lost, grandpa and grandma won't be able to find you."

"Yes, I know. Don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma, I will be back safely. You should also be careful at home and don't fall. The roads outside are slippery. Don't walk alone. You need to use a cane."

Chu Luo instructed carefully and told him everything he could think of.

The two elders' eyes were teared up after hearing this. How could such a good child have such parents? It makes them sad just thinking about it.

"Let's go, grandpa and grandma will take you there."

"It's so late, I'd better go there by myself. The road is slippery and it's easy to fall." Chu Luo didn't want the old man to send him.

But the old man was worried, and Cheng Yue came at that moment.

"I'll pick up Chu Luo."

"Deputy Captain Cheng, this is too much trouble for you. I even asked you to make a special trip."

"What's the big deal? It's not far. It's not safe for you old and young to go out. I'll come and pick you up after I finish my business. It's not a big deal."

Cheng Yue took Chu Luo's cloth bag and asked Chu Luo to sit on the back seat of the bicycle, "Hold on tight."

"Well, thank you Uncle Cheng."

Taking Chu Luo home, the three little ones were happy to see Chu Luo. Now four children had to sleep together, which would be a bit crowded, but they didn't mind as they felt it was warmer to huddle together.

The four children slept sideways. They all had short legs, so the bed was just right for them. In order to prevent them from getting cold, Su Qianqian gave them two quilts, one for Daya and Sanya, and one for Erbao and Chu Luo.

"Don't stay up too late today. We have to get up early and leave tomorrow." Su Qianqian reminded them.

"I understand, Mom. We won't make a fuss." Daya said.

At times like this, Daya will show her big sister temperament.

Su Qianqian returned to the bedroom and saw that Cheng Yue was not there, so she went to the study and found someone still reading by lamplight.

"Is there anything else that hasn't been dealt with?"

"Well, there's one more thing. It's okay. You go to sleep first."

"I'll get you something warm to eat. Eat after you're done, otherwise you'll be hungry." You won't be hungry when you sleep at night, but you will be very hungry if you are awake and still working. Midnight snacks are inevitable, especially for someone like Cheng Yue who has a big appetite. If you don't eat, you will definitely feel uncomfortable with hunger.

Cheng Yue couldn't help but stand up and hug her, "My dear wife, you are truly a treasure given to me by God!"

This life is really worth it. To be able to meet such a daughter-in-law, he must have accumulated great merits in his previous life.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yue went to work first, then woke up Su Qianqian and the children when he came back, had a hearty breakfast, and then set off with his bags.

A jeep was packed with people. Daya sat on Su Qianqian's lap, Sanya sat on Cheng Yue's lap, and the remaining Erbao, Chu Luo and Cheng Yuan squeezed in.

Cheng Yuan hasn't been home for the New Year for several years. He will go back this year as well, and it will be a lively journey.

Cheng Yue told Cheng Yuan about Chu Luo's matter in advance, and Cheng Yuan naturally wouldn't say anything careless to upset the child.

The journey back was quite lively. They directly bought six hard sleeper beds, which made it less troublesome.

Six beds are enough for three adults and four children.

With Su Qianqian around, there was no need to worry about food. Besides, the drive wasn't too far, so a simple meal to fill the stomach would be enough.

Nowadays, the technology for making instant noodles is not yet mature, and people basically don’t eat them on the train, mainly because they are expensive.

"We'll be there soon. It feels like the train is going faster because it's so busy." Su Qianqian stretched lazily. "It's good that we're not late this time."

If you are late, you can only leave it to fate.

"People's living standards are gradually improving nowadays, which is great. Just think about the past when we could not get enough food and often couldn't sleep at night because of hunger," said Cheng Yuan.

"Things will get better and better in the future." Su Qianqian said with a smile.

This generation has deep memories of suffering, so many people will form indelible marks and thinking patterns.

Many times, when there is a clash of ideas between two generations, it is hard to say who is right or wrong; it is all due to the influence of the general environment.

Got off the train.

Cheng Song had been waiting for a long time. It was freezing cold and he was breathing heavily. Everyone hurried to get on the tractor. The pain made Su Qianqian feel both painful and happy. Cheng Yue still shielded her from the wind, warmed her with the hot water bottle he had prepared, and surrounded the children with big scarves.

The wind is cold, but my heart is warm.

After arriving home, Su Qianqian still felt that her hands and feet were frozen. Even though she was wearing a hat and a mask, her ears and nose seemed to have no feeling.

"Come in, come in." Zhu Tianfang and Wu Yuexiang had been waiting there for a long time, and had prepared hot water and hot tea.

"Aunt, uncle, I'm going home first. My parents are waiting for you." After getting off the car, Cheng Yuan said hello and ran away.

"Drive slowly on the road," Zhu Tianfang shouted, and then quickly led everyone into the house. "It's too cold today, but it will probably be sunny during the New Year this year, so it will be more comfortable."

"Da Ya, Er Bao, San Ya, grandma misses you so much!" Zhu Tianfang interacted with the three little ones for a while and found a strange face, "Who is this?"

"Grandma, this is our good friend Chu Luo. He is visiting our house today. Chu Luo, you can call me grandma too."

"Hello grandma, hello grandpa." Chu Luo greeted people politely.

"Okay, okay, hello, hello, welcome to our home." Zhu Tianfang and Cheng Youmin were very welcoming.

The hot meals were quickly served and everyone sat together to eat. Today's meals were still very rich, specially prepared for Cheng Yue and the others to return.

"Yue, your house has taken shape. I'll take you to see it tomorrow. Now that everyone is about to celebrate the New Year, the construction has been temporarily suspended." Cheng Youmin said.

When she heard the word "house", Su Qianqian's eyes lit up. She has always liked self-built houses in the countryside because she can design the layout herself. She had previously drawn several blueprints and listed all her needs. She also told them that if they had any questions, they could call her and not to be afraid of trouble.

After all, it is difficult to modify a house once it is built.

"Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow." Cheng Yue noticed Su Qianqian's excitement and agreed with a smile.
