In the evening, when Chen Jianguo came home from get off work, he found that his mother-in-law had already arrived home.
He hung the briefcase on the hanger before heading into the house.
"Mom, you've come all the way here to see us. Thank you for your hard work."
Mother Jiang said, "It's not hard. I'm very happy to see my eldest grandson. I feel refreshed and energetic now."
She came home and held her eldest grandson in her arms all afternoon.
Chen Jianguo asked: "Are Dad and Bai Yang okay?"
Jiang's mother replied, "It's great. Your father has gone to work for me now, and Bai Yang is also in school. You don't have to worry about us."
"That's good."
Chen Jianguo nodded, and saw that his mother-in-law seemed thinner than last year, then looked at his daughter-in-law.
"Bai Ge, mother is here. Make her a good meal tonight to welcome her back."
Jiang Baige smiled and replied, "Everything is ready. I'll do it soon."
Jiang's mother said, "Let me do it! Seeing that none of you can cook, I'll do it tonight!"
Jiang's mother cooked dinner in the evening, and the family sat around the dining table and had a delicious and sumptuous dinner.
Because Jiang Baige and Chen Jiaojiao’s cooking skills were not very good, they hadn’t eaten such delicious food for a long time. They ate up all the dishes in the evening.
After dinner, Chen Jianguo carried his son upstairs to coax him to sleep, and asked his daughter-in-law to spend more time talking to his mother-in-law.
The mother and daughter were in the living room, and Jiang's mother asked about her daughter's recent life.
Jiang Baige also honestly told her mother about her recent situation, wanting to let her know that she was living a happy life.
"Mom, I know you're worried about me, but you see, I'm living a good life now."
Listening to her daughter's story, Jiang's mother showed a relieved smile on her face. She had always hoped that her daughter would live a good life. Knowing that her daughter is happy now, Jiang's mother is of course happy.
She smiled and said, "Mom is worried about you too. Knowing that my daughter is doing well, I am relieved."
The mother and daughter chatted and talked heart to heart. Jiang's mother also taught her daughter some experience in raising children and took out the gifts she brought from Shanghai.
She bought baby products, clothes, bottles, cotton cloth and other things at a department store in Shanghai. They were all prepared for her grandson, and she prepared a whole box of miscellaneous items.
Jiang Baige didn't expect her mother to have prepared so much. She said, "Thank you, Mom. These things look great. The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town doesn't have them yet."
Mother Jiang smiled and said, "I like it! I'll go back and take a look. If I find something suitable, I'll buy some and send it to my eldest grandson."
Jiang Baige actually likes these very much. It would be great if her mother could buy them.
The clothes that Dandan wears now are all made by Grandma Meng and Zhou Xiuying. Although they are all beautiful, she prefers the styles from Shanghai.
There are also children's clothes in her space, but none of them are styles that can be worn out now, so in addition to taking out some underwear, the coats are all handmade cotton jackets.
After the conversation, Jiang Baige took her mother to visit her house, showing her every corner so that she could get familiar with the place and feel comfortable living there.
Many of the things here are designed according to Jiang Baige's ideas, and they are all very practical and easy to use. Some places are even better than their homes in Shanghai.
Jiang's mother felt very curious and satisfied with everything, and couldn't help but sigh that her daughter's life was getting better and better.
When it was time to go to bed, Jiang Baige chatted with her in her mother's room for a while before returning to her own room.
Chen Jianguo was sleeping in bed with his son, and Dandan had already been coaxed to sleep by him.
When he saw his daughter-in-law coming back, he quickly made room for her.
"Wife, you're back. I've warmed up the bed for you. Come in quickly."
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Baige couldn't help but pursed her lips, took off her clothes and climbed onto the bed.
She had an electric blanket in her space, but she was afraid that it would be unsafe if her son wet the bed, so she didn't take it out and use it.
It was really hard for Chen Jianguo. He had to go to bed early every day to keep her in the warm position.
Chen Jianguo asked, "Is Mom asleep?"
Jiang Baige responded: "Well, she must be exhausted after sitting on the train for a few days. I asked her to have a good rest."
After his wife lay down, Chen Jianguo asked, "Wife, how is your business with Chen Wang going recently? Things are very tense outside, so you should be a little worried."
Jiang Baige asked: "Is there some action?"
Chen Jianguo responded, "Yes, the higher-ups have given the order for a major screening. Those of you who can leave should leave, and those who can't leave should pack up quickly and don't let anyone find out."
Jiang Baige asked, "Didn't we just check? What happened again?"
Chen Jianguo shook his head helplessly. "This is not our responsibility. We just heard about it. You just need to worry about it."
Thinking of the black market business, Chen Jianguo seemed a little worried.
Their family didn't have to take this risk, but his wife wanted to do it, and he couldn't stop her, he could only support her.
Jiang Baige understood Chen Jianguo's concerns and comforted him, "Although business is good now, the black market is risky after all. As soon as we get wind of it, we will stop doing it immediately. Don't worry."
Seeing that she listened to him, Chen Jianguo kissed her.
"Go to sleep! Tomorrow you and Jiaojiao take Mom out for a walk."
The next day, Jiang Baige took her mother for a walk around the county town and bought her some things that were not available in Shanghai.
In the next few days, Jiang's mother stayed at home playing with her grandson and enjoying the family happiness.
The mother and daughter had a rare opportunity to be alone together. She also had a lot of heart-to-heart talks with her daughter and they spent a few days of warm and happy time together.
Happy times are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, Jiang's mother was about to return to Shanghai.
On this day, Jiang Baige got up early and prepared a lot of things for her mother.
After breakfast, they packed their luggage together. Jiang's mother also reminded her daughter to take good care of herself and her family, and to be filial to her parents-in-law.
Jiang Baige asked them to take good care of themselves and not to worry about her and the children.
She didn't know whether she could go back this year, so she gave her mother a lot of money and tickets so that they wouldn't have to live so poorly and could eat and spend as they pleased.
Chen Jianguo borrowed the company's car and drove Jiang's mother to the train station.
Jiang Baige sat in the back seat with her child and mother. Along the way, everyone was silent and reluctant to leave.
When they arrived at the train station, Chen Jianguo helped his mother-in-law carry the luggage and walked her to the platform.
The train slowly pulled into the station. Jiang's mother boarded the train and waved goodbye to her daughter through the window.
"Mom, remember to send me a telegram when you get home." Jiang Baige said, holding back tears.
"Okay, you guys go back and be careful on the road." Jiang's mother's voice was also a little choked.
The train started moving slowly. Jiang Baige watched the train go away until it disappeared from her sight. She finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Only after I gave birth to my own child did I realize how much my mother missed me when I was so far away from home.
Chen Jianguo took his son and said, "Let's go! Go home."
