"Niu Niu, what time is it now?"
"꺘point 26!"
"Oh, there's still half an hour left!"
Not long after, Chen's mother began, "Niu Niu, what time is it?"
"Grandma, it's 30!"
"Oh, okay, okay, it'll be quick!"
Two minutes later, Chen's mother asked, "Is there any more?"
Niu Niu looked at her mother pleadingly, but Su Xia shook her head.
Niu Niu responded very seriously, "There are still 27 minutes left!"
"real?"
"real!"
Meanwhile, Mr. Chen was already dressed and ready. Da Bao initially tried to persuade him, "It's still early, rest a little longer," but Mr. Chen wouldn't listen!
There was no other way but to take Chen's father, who was dressed, to find his mother. They needed to hurry and get the things out beforehand.
"Mom, Dad said someone will pick us up, is that true?" Erbao asked, a little worried.
Su Xia didn't want to confirm, but not wanting to worry Mr. and Mrs. Chen, she said definitively, "Definitely!"
Meanwhile, in Beijing, after receiving a phone call from Chen Jianguo, Old Man Yi stopped playing chess altogether and even moved out of the military control center.
Everyone was shocked. "If it's not Old Man Yi, what's all this commotion about?"
Old Man Yi was beaming with joy and paid no heed to the incomprehension of others.
The people noticed something was wrong and signaled to the others. Afterwards, they saw the old man looking for someone. They wondered what he was up to.
It turned out they were repairing a house, and a few people who knew the old man well went to find him.
"Old Yi, I heard you're repairing a house?"
"Yeah, why bother repairing a perfectly good house? Besides, wouldn't it be better to just go directly to the higher-ups?"
Old Man Yi was overjoyed and eager to share, so he didn't hide anything: "People from my hometown came and repaired the house, so it's ready for people to live in!"
The group was taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances. One of them asked hesitantly, "Didn't you say you had no one back home?"
"I'm not talking about that; I'm talking about the village I was in back then!"
The group then realized that Old Man Yi held a high position. Although he had no children or descendants, he commanded a large number of soldiers, including two companies.
Why was he released back then?
Sigh, the old men recalled their situation back then, and none of them wanted to speak.
Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, and noticing that the people looked like they had lost their souls, Old Man Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"What are you doing? You're doing very well!"
Several people nodded in agreement, and one of them said with a sigh, "You're lucky!"
"That's right, don't you even know who I am!"
"By the way, you said someone came from your hometown. Is it Chen Jianguo, the one you mentioned who took care of you?"
"No, it's my wife and children, and my parents!"
"My God, so many people?" The group paused, then became worried.
"Old Chief, here are some tickets, you can use them!"
"Yes, yes... I'll have the guard bring you some food later!"
"Yes, that's right!"
...
Old Man Yi waved his hand excitedly, "No need for that, you're a big brother, and you have a lot of stuff!"
Even after being refused, the old man still kept it in mind. Finally, looking at the piles of grains, vegetables, fruits, and meat stacked up by his door...
On the day of picking them up, Old Man Yi called early in the morning to borrow a car and instructed Li to drive.
"Shou Zhang, you're going too?" Li asked in surprise. It was almost time to leave, but he didn't expect Old Man Yi to be getting dressed as well.
Old Man Yi nodded matter-of-factly. "That's right, if you don't know them, and you don't go, how can you accept their invitation?"
Lee couldn't object to this reason, but the old chief was 78 years old and had been injured in his early years.
Even more so, although when she came back she was even fatter than before, which I heard from the team leader.
However, Lee still didn't believe it, always thinking that the old leader had suffered a lot, so after being assigned here, he took good care of him.
"What are you thinking about? It'll be late soon."
"No, old commander, they will definitely pick you up. Why don't you wait at home?"
Half a month in advance, he asked someone to find people to repair the house, and also repair his own yard. Without a doubt, when Comrade Chen's family came to Beijing, the old leader would definitely stay in his own yard during this time.
Moreover, thinking about how the house repair cost 100 yuan, Li felt a pang of heartache, as her monthly salary was only 32 yuan.
I don't know why they care so much about a family that isn't related by blood.
Lee, who had never met Su Xia's family before, began to complain.
In the end, Old Man Yi still followed along, and when they arrived at the station, he anxiously waited for the train to leave, craning his neck to look in the direction of the exit.
께李...
Finally, I started to complain in my heart.
Su Xia felt an itch in her nose, but ignored it. She tied up the twins and told Da Bao and Niu Niu to watch the luggage.
Erbao followed closely behind Su Xia, while Chen's parents supported each other and followed their eldest grandson and granddaughter, not daring to fall behind.
"Sister-in-law, there are still 5 minutes before our stop, you'll have to wait a bit!" It was the same flight attendant from the beginning.
Su Xia nodded. "Thank you!"
"It's nothing, I was just passing by. Oh, by the way, the director specifically instructed me to call you when you arrive!"
Su Xia's lips twitched—"I don't need to make a phone call; I don't need to instruct others."
Chen Jianguo, who was far away in the county town, sat anxiously in his office, his watch in front of his eyes, staring at it constantly.
The secretary would occasionally come in, and seeing this, she would shake her head and leave, always closing the door gently.
When someone calls, they'll explain, "It's the director's business, let's talk about it again tomorrow at an hour later!"
The person who arrived was taken aback. "Isn't that Class 떘?"
The secretary waved her hand, "Then tomorrow, definitely not now!"
"All right...."
Seeing the person leave, the secretary-general let out a sigh of relief, looked towards the office door, and prayed in his heart, "Sister-in-law, she'll definitely call immediately!"
Su Xia finally got off the train. Looking at the bustling platform and breathing in the fresh air, all her fatigue vanished instantly.
"Mother, where is this?"
"Yeah, there are so many people!"
The twins looked around excitedly. Do you think they're tired?
Sorry, we were just at the point of exhaustion. Mr. and Mrs. Chen also felt relaxed. Although the train ride was alright, they had been there for two days and two nights.
Still tired, Niu Niu and Da Bao carried their backpacks and stayed close to the girls.
"Mom, which way are we going?" Da Bao asked.
Su Xia pointed in a direction, "That's the exit over there, let's go!"
Old Man Yi, standing outside, was as excited as a child when he saw the train arrive at the station.
“Ki Li, look closely. There’s a young woman, twins, two elderly people, and a child, a girl and two boys.”
Li was guarding the gate at the exit of the station, while watching the old chief.
"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it!"
When Su Xia and the others finally came out, they were spotted by Li at a glance. There were two children and two ropes.
I was surprised, but when I looked at the people around me... well... they were elderly, supporting each other, and then I saw...
Hmm...? "A child?"
Two men and one girl match up, is the child?
How come he's taller than me? Just as I was wondering, Old Man Yi grew impatient and anxiously called out to me, "Have you seen him yet?"
"I saw it, but I'm not sure!"
"Where, let's take a look!" Old Man Yi shouted excitedly!
Li Zheng pointed in the direction, and Su Xia had already brought her people over. They were all grateful for 5.0's eyes, as they spotted the old man at a glance.
To be precise, it was seeing the jeep next to them, and soldiers in military uniforms.
Among all the people picking up passengers at the station, this group was the most eye-catching. Not only Su Xia, but everyone around them was discussing, "What important person is it that caused such a stir with a jeep?"
"Yes, could he be an officer from some military unit?"
...
Su Xia, accompanied by her family, hurried over. Upon seeing the old commander, Su Xia exclaimed excitedly, "Old commander...!"
Old Man Yi blinked, looking at Su Xia in front of him—the familiar Niu Niu, Da Bao, Er Bao, and twins…
The old man suddenly burst into tears in front of everyone...
