"Mom and Dad, take the kids home first. I'm going to work." Lu Qingyan walked with her parents and two children to the intersection, said hello, and turned to go to school.

"Let's go, let's go back and pack our things. When your parents come back, we'll choose a date and move then." Mother Lu called her two grandsons who were running behind her and asked them to go home quickly.

"Grandma, I like the small courtyard I just saw." Gu Qiming looked at his own courtyard, reluctant to leave, and said to his grandma.

"If you like it, go home and pack your things. When you come back this year to choose a date, we'll move in." Mother Lu heard her grandson talking, reached out and tapped Gu Qiming's little head and said with a smile

"Okay, big brother, let's go home quickly." When Gu Qiming heard what his grandma said, he happily took his big brother's hand and trotted towards home.

"These two children." Mother Lu looked at the two children running in front of her and said to the old man with a smile: "It's good now. We can move to this small yard. When we have nothing to do, we can grow some vegetables in the yard, and we can also light a kang in the winter."

"Well, this small courtyard is really nice. However, it is also because our son-in-law is filial. Otherwise, other families also have elderly people, why don't they choose the courtyard?" Father Lu nodded and did not forget to praise his son-in-law for being filial.

"Indeed, our son-in-law is almost as good as our own son. He is even more filial than some of the sons in the staff quarters." Mother Lu was not making this up. Having lived in the army for so many years, she knew exactly what those people were like.

That's why they say that their son-in-law is more filial than other people's sons.

"Alas! You see, Old Man Gu and his people are really something. They don't want such a good son and force him to do it all the time. It's really, alas!" Father Lu couldn't continue speaking and could only shake his head and sigh.

"What are you doing there? The Gu family doesn't want a son-in-law, so we can just treat him well in the future, right?" Mother Lu rolled her eyes at the old man sighing there.

"I just feel sorry for my son-in-law." After saying this, Father Lu told his wife to go home and not mention the matter.

"Look at what you said, as if I don't want to mention it." After saying this, Mother Lu seemed to remember something and continued, "You said that when we go back this time, you have to go home to see his parents. Will this old man Gu and his people cause any more trouble?"

"How would I know that?" Father Lu was not sure whether the old Gu family would cause any more trouble, but if his son-in-law wanted to go back, he had to let him go back. That way, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore." Mother Lu didn't want to talk about these things yet, so she waved her hand and stopped talking.

When they got home, they started packing.

"Grandma, after we move, can we go back to our hometown?" Gu Jingming and Gu Qiming helped out a little, then raised their heads and asked Lu's mother softly.

"I don't know about that either. We have to wait for your parents to ask for leave before we can leave." When Mother Lu heard what her grandson said, she shook her head to indicate that she didn't know either.

"Then I'll ask my parents when they come back." When Gu Qiming heard that his grandmother didn't know either, he decided to wait for his parents to come back before asking.

All he thinks about in his little head now is his hometown.

After all, since they were born, they have never been to any other place except the city.

So, now I am very curious about what my hometown looks like.

"It's probably going to be soon. Your mom's school is going to have summer vacation soon. When your mom is on vacation, your dad will probably also ask for leave." Mother Lu calculated that her daughter will have summer vacation in the next two days, so when her daughter is on vacation, her son-in-law will also have asked for leave.

"Grandma, how do we get back to our hometown? Do we take the big truck that goes to the city?" Gu Jingming stood in front of his grandma, raised his little head and asked curiously.

"No, we're going back by train." Mother Lu said while gesturing with her hands: "It's a really long train. When I take you on the train, you'll know what it looks like."

"I really want to take a ride right now." The two children were aroused by their grandma and kept muttering that they wanted to take the very long train that their grandma talked about.

So when Lu Qingyan and Gu Mingze got off work, the two children held each other's hands and asked when their parents would have a holiday.

When can they go home?

"It's only these few days." Lu Qingyan pulled her son's hand away, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. When she came out, she asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back home?"

"We heard grandma say today that we have to take a very long train to go back to our hometown, so we want to take that kind of train now." Gu Qiming was held in his father's arms and said to his mother in a childish voice.

"Oh." Lu Qingyan nodded and went back to work.

"Mingze, Xiaoyan, you two should pick a date and move before we go back to our hometown." Mother Lu stopped her daughter who was about to go into the house and told them to pick a date quickly and move before they went back to their hometown.

"Whatever, you and my dad can decide. Just tell us the day you choose so we can pack our things in advance." Lu Qingyan was not interested in the day of moving. As long as she was told the day, she would pack her things in advance.

"Okay then." Mother Lu knew that she couldn't rely on her daughter for anything, so she thought about packing up her things with the old man after dinner and thinking about when to move.

Then, after dinner, everyone went back to their rooms and busied themselves with their own work.

After the two elders spent two days packing up everything at home, they told Lu Qingyan and Gu Mingze that they would move in three days.

"Okay, we got it. We'll pack our things in the next two days." Lu Qingyan nodded and said she got it, then told Gu Mingze to go back to the house and pack his things.

So on the day of moving, Qian Xiaomei and her mother-in-law, as well as several new families who had moved in over the past two years, all came to help.

"Teacher Lu, I was originally thinking that since I'm used to living in a small courtyard in the brigade, it would be better to live in a building in the city, but now that I see your courtyard, I think it's better to live here." After Qian Xiaomei helped deliver the things to the courtyard,

Standing in the middle of the yard, he looked at the three mud houses, a warehouse and a kitchen, and a yard of neither big nor small, and spoke with envy in his eyes.

"Then let your Chen Dong go and file a report. After the report comes out, you can move." Lu Qingyan said with a smile when she heard Qian Xiaomei's words.

"Well, I'll ask Chen Dong to file a report when I get back. I asked my mother-in-law a few days ago, and she also said that she would rather live in the small courtyard than in this building.

I didn't think much of this yard at first, but now that I've seen your house, I want to have a yard too. Qian Xiaomei nodded and decided to tell the man when she got home that they also wanted a small yard in front of their house. Even if their house was not that big, it would still be more spacious than that building.
