Yan Rushan and his wife had no objection to this arrangement and followed the old man out of the yard. They first sent the old man to the car, and then Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi went in and handed all the children to them.
Among the people traveling together, apart from Gu Lingguo who can drive, Yan Rushan and Fang Guozhong can also drive; Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong are specially trained talents, and it is impossible to send someone who can't drive to be close to Zhong Yuxiu for protection.
Therefore, the driver of the car the old man was in was replaced by Gu Lingguo.
Gu Lingguo didn't want to agree at first, probably because Zhong Yuxiu was going to take the car in the yard and he couldn't follow her; as her bodyguard, he had to follow her when she went out. Later, Zhong Yuxiu asked him to drive, so he had to agree.
"Drive slowly on the road. The road is easy to drive on now. Don't rush. Safety is the most important thing." Zhong Yuxiu gave this instruction and was taken into the yard and into the car by Yan Rushan.
She and Yan Rushan were in the back seat, Fang Guozhong was driving, Feng Zheng was assigned to the passenger seat, and their luggage was placed in the trunk.
The car drove into the yard, Fang Guozhong got out and locked the gate; he got back into the car and continued driving after Gu Lingguo's car.
The car speed on the road is not fast, but it is smooth, which is far from the bumpy situation when I came here last year. Before, getting in and out of Zhongguancun was a hassle, but now it is as easy as flat ground.
Taking into account the importance of Zhongguancun, high-quality materials were used to ensure that this road can be used for many years to come.
The road into Shangjing was smooth, and the highway was still flat. We arrived at the military compound smoothly. The young soldier standing guard at the gate had been replaced, and the old man did not bring his retirement certificate. In the end, Gu Lingguo had to show his officer certificate to enter the compound smoothly.
"Mr. Yan, we're home." Gu Lingguo reminded him after parking the car outside the small building.
Yan Guofeng looked up at the small building in front of him and felt a long-lost sense of familiarity. He had not been home for a long time, so it was inevitable that he would feel close to the old place when he returned.
The car that Yuxiu and the others were in also stopped. Yan Rushan got out first and then brought Zhong Yuxiu out.
Fang Guozhong got out of the driver's seat and turned to look at the passenger seat. He knocked on the door and said, "Dasha, get out of the car. We're home."
"Oh oh." Feng Zheng pushed the door and got out of the car with a confused look on his face.
Fang Guozhong was too busy to take care of him, so he walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk and took out their luggage; he and Feng Zheng had more luggage, while Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan only had a small bag.
When Fang Guozhong looked up, he saw Yan Rushan leading Zhong Yuxiu to the car in front, opening the back door and welcoming Old Yan down; the old man was holding a child in his arms, followed by Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi.
"Grandpa, you've been carrying the children all the way. You must be tired. Can you give them to me?" Yuxiu reached out to take them. The old man was indeed tired. Who could bear to hold a child all the time? He gave the eldest grandson to her. "It's easy to sleep in the car. All three children are asleep."
Yuxiu lowered her head to look at her eldest son. His little face was rosy and fragrant as he slept.
"Only they can sleep soundly, without any worries or concerns."
Yan Guofeng smiled and said, "They need sleep right now. The better they sleep, the better their health will be. Our children are so strange. They have been considerate since they were young, and yet you, as their mother, are actually looking down on them."
"Of course I wouldn't. With your support, how could I dislike you?" He said in a pleasant and teasing tone, "I love you so much, your great-great-grandson."
"You speak with such a strange accent, kid. I wonder who you learned it from."
After a few jokes, the silent and stuffy atmosphere in the car was instantly dispelled, and the family went to the front of the small building; Yan Rushan took out the key and opened the door, and what came into his eyes was a spotless living room with a very clean floor.
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi were extremely surprised. The house did not have the musty and dusty smell they had imagined. Instead, it was filled with fresh and clean air, and the floor was even cleaner than when they were there.
"This, this, what's going on?" Gong Zhaodi stared inside with her eyes wide open.
Logically speaking, if they hadn't lived there for a long time, the floor would have been covered in dust and spider webs; even in the courtyard, it shouldn't have been much better. Who could have imagined that what they saw before them was completely different.
"Come in," Zhong Yuxiu said, handing the child to Yan Rushan. She helped the old man into the living room, "Grandpa, please sit down for a moment. Aunt Wang, Aunt Gong, put the child down first and take Feng Zheng to the kitchen to see if there's any hot water. We'll make a pot of tea first. Also, go buy some vegetables, fruits, and meat. We're staying here for a few days, so we need everything we need."
"Yes, yes, we brought back the leftover meat, vegetables and fruits from the kitchen when we came back." Meat and vegetables can be bought in the county town, but most of the meat is brought back by Yan Rushan when he gets home from get off work every day; the same goes for fruits. There are many kinds of fruits available in Beijing, which cannot be compared with those in small county towns.
It's not that I look down on small towns, but I am stating the facts.
"Then put them out and see if there's any suitable fruit to squeeze into juice and bring it over first." Zhong Yuxiu wasn't a very meticulous person, but having lived with the Yan family for a long time, she naturally knew the habits of the two Yan family members. The old man didn't like to chew any fruit, but Yan Rushan was better, and they would drink juice.
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi nodded in agreement and hurriedly sent the children to their room. When they got to the small room, the beds inside were clean, and they could just put the bedding and sheets back on and let the children sleep.
The two of them worked efficiently and quickly laid out the mattress and placed the small quilt on the bed frame. Then, they put the two children in the crib and covered them with quilts. One of them went to the living room to pick up Yan Liji from Yan Rushan's arms, and the other went to the kitchen to put things in place first.
As soon as they came back and saw the clean and tidy home, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi were in a very good mood, and the fatigue from the journey was also relieved.
As they talked, they washed and sliced the fruit, preparing for the pressing process.
"Sister Wang, what's wrong with our house? It's been so clean even though no one has lived here for so long. It wasn't so clean when we left."
Wang Daya shook her head. "We don't know much about the Dong family, so don't ask. They will let us know when we need to know."
"I understand." Gong Zhaodi lowered her eyelids and carefully sliced the meat, but she couldn't help muttering, "Shouldn't that kind of thing exist in the Yan family?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Look at how calm Elder Yan, Comrade Zhong, and Comrade Yan are. If that thing existed, wouldn't they know about it?" Wang Daya scolded. "Besides, what era is this? You haven't learned from the chaos of those years. What kind of thing is that? There's no such thing in the world."
Gong Zhaodi knew she had spoken out of turn and nodded in agreement. "Sister Wang is right. I tend to let my imagination run wild. I think Comrade Yan had the house cleaned in advance. He goes to the capital every day, so hiring a few people to clean the place is just a side job."
