On Sunday morning, the Xu family got up early because Dad Xu was going to treat his friends and colleagues to dinner.
Li Na, Xiao An and Xiao Mo did not go to set up their stalls today, and even Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Qi’s business was suspended for the day.
When Mr. and Mrs. Lu came, Xu Ning and Li Na were preparing to go out to buy groceries.
Mother Lu said to them, "Xiao Ning, I brought some meat and vegetables from home. You two should take a look and don't buy too much."
Xu Ning took the basket from her hand, and brought a large piece of pork, various vegetables, and the dried fish they brought back from Guangdong Province last time.
"Mom, why did you buy so much meat?"
"Isn't this a lot of people? I was afraid you didn't have enough meat coupons, so I bought all the ones at home."
Xu Ning whispered to her, "Mom, we don't lack meat now. Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Wang are now doing the braised meat business, and they go to the nearby village to buy meat every afternoon.
My seventh grandfather knew that you were coming today, so he specially left a large piece of it and didn’t sell it yesterday. You and my dad can take it back and eat it when you leave this afternoon. ”
Mother Lu was surprised. "Your Seventh Grandfather and Grandpa Wang have both started a business?"
"Not only Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Wang are doing business, but Grandma Wang also steams brown sugar cakes to sell every day. The three of them are doing great business."
Mother Lu was also very happy and asked with a smile, "Now your seventh grandfather and the others won't talk about going back to their hometown anymore, right?
In the past, when he saw me and your father, he would always talk about going back to Yushu Village, saying that he was worried about the cows and missed his old friends. ”
“I haven’t heard them mention it since I started the business. Now I’m very busy every day. I start selling braised meat in the morning.
In the afternoon, Grandpa Wang and I rode our bicycles to the village to buy pig offal and pig heads, and we cleaned them up until very late every night.
They were asked to do less, but they refused. Now he and Grandpa Wang are very enthusiastic and they added a new trick a few days ago: braised vegetarian dishes. ”
"Then you guys have to keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't get too tired."
"Mom, I know. We are all watching. Go inside and talk to Grandma Wang. My sister-in-law and I will go buy some vegetables."
As soon as Mother Lu walked to the backyard, she saw Niupitang holding Father Lu and asking, "Grandpa, do you miss your grandson?"
Seeing her grandson and granddaughter, Mother Lu was so delighted that she walked over and picked up Tangtang.
Tangtang saw her grandmother, hugged her neck and asked, "Grandma, do you miss your granddaughter?"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Lu were amused by the child's childish words. "Of course I miss you. Grandpa and grandma miss you every day."
Pipi whispered in Grandpa's ear: "Grandpa, did you bring candy for your grandson?"
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lu burst out laughing. It turned out that their grandson really missed them, but what he missed more was the candy!
When Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu heard their conversation, they both came out of the house.
"Brother Lu, Big Sister, please come inside and sit down."
Xiao Mo came out of the kitchen with wet hands and hugged Lu Ma's waist. "Why did you two come so early? I said I would pick you up at the door after I washed the vegetables."
Mother Lu hugged him back and said with a smile, "You miss my old son."
Xiao Mo pouted and said, "I didn't come so early because I missed you. I must have missed you."
"You stinky boy, you're jealous of your nephew and niece. Let me go. I don't miss you at all. I just came here to see the sticky candy."
Xiao Mo greeted Lu's father with a smile and went to the kitchen to busy himself.
Many of Mr. and Mrs. Xu’s colleagues and classmates came, as well as their former students, who have now joined the workforce and have achieved considerable success in various fields.
Zhao Jianshe’s younger brother Zhao Jianguo is here too! It was he and several other classmates who helped to find the connections and sent their family to Yushu Village to work in the countryside.
Father Xu's colleagues and friends were very happy for them to see that their family had gone through all that and was still together, and that their children were so successful.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu called the children over and introduced them to each other.
Xinning brought his two younger brothers to thank them. If it weren't for the help of the uncles, aunts and senior brothers present, their family would not have been able to return to Beijing in such a complete group.
Everyone was sitting in the house talking, while Uncle Lin was standing in the yard wiping his tears. The young lady and her husband had finally gotten their happy ending after all the hardship they had endured!
Aunt Lin saw him wiping tears on his happy day, so she pulled him to the kitchen.
As they walked, she lectured him, "My sister and brother-in-law finally invited us to dinner, why are you crying? Hurry up and help wash the dishes."
Lin Hua wiped away her tears and said, "I am happy for the young lady and her husband. They have finally made it through all the suffering they have endured for so many years."
