I was at the post for half a month, but fortunately, someone from home came to visit every few days, about the same time as when they left.
It's just that Beijing is much colder than where I live.
Fortunately, there is heating at home, which is better than at the camp.
Back at the base, the temperature inside and outside is the same, which He's parents, being older, don't really like, so they just want to warm themselves by the fire.
It's good to be back. At home, I can wear a sweater and vest, and when I go out, I can wear a military coat. It's quite comfortable.
When it's cold, Mr. He rarely goes out, but Mrs. He doesn't allow it, which makes him clumsy and prone to falling.
When it snows or rains, Mrs. He won't even let Mr. He go into the yard.
Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao have returned and adapted well to life in Beijing.
Little Rice Cake said, "It's so warm at home, we don't even need a hot water bottle."
"It's warm at home, but cold outside. Wear more clothes when you go out. If you catch a cold, you'll need to take medicine and get a shot. This time, Dad won't be with you, so I won't comfort you if you cry!" Yun Jin threatened Xiao Niangao.
Little Rice Cake hugged her mother and said sweetly, "Mommy, will you comfort me? Aren't I your cutest little baby? If you don't comfort me, who will you comfort?"
"Soothing the little bean bun!"
Little Bean Bun gave a polite bark!
Little Rice Cake continued to whine, "Mommy, please play with Little Bean Bun and also play with me!"
Yun Jin deliberately didn't coax her. Because of this, Xiao Niangao kept talking and trying to win Yun Jin over, only stopping when Yun Jin promised to coax her.
The day after they returned, Yun Jin went to the company to check on its situation.
During the two weeks she was away, everything at the company was as usual. They solved some minor problems themselves, and only sought help from Yun Jin when they couldn't solve them.
He Zizhen knew they were coming back this week, so she rushed back on Friday night. After not seeing them for half a month, He Zizhen came back and hugged her mother affectionately, and Xiao Niangao also hugged her affectionately, which made He's mother extremely happy.
Watching the three of them being affectionate, Mr. He didn't say anything, but his eyes softened considerably.
No one knows who leaked the news, but on the third day after they returned, He Ziqian brought Feng Qianqian and two children over. In the dead of winter, he didn't seem to care that the children would catch a cold, and just carried them back like that.
Mrs. He frowned: "Why are you here? The child is so young, why are you carrying him out?"
"I missed you, so I came to see you!" He Ziqian held the children up for his parents to see, as if afraid they wouldn't look at the two babies.
Mrs. He scoffed, "They're so young, how would they know what they're thinking? If you're really filial, take good care of Da Bao and Xiao Bao, and bring them to visit us when they can run and jump."
"They're still so young, don't put them through that!"
He Ziqian pretended not to hear his mother pointing out his fake filial piety, and stayed there with his child. After lunch, he wanted to have dinner and planned to stay overnight.
He kept complaining that he couldn't eat or sleep well in the dormitory, that both of his children had diarrhea from the cold, and that he was too busy to take care of both children by himself.
Mrs. He asked, "Didn't you invite someone?"
"The house was too small, she couldn't live there, so she quit." Actually, it was because Sister-in-law He was reluctant to spend the money and let Feng Qianqian take care of the two children alone.
I used to live with Mr. and Mrs. He, and I never had to worry about food or drink.
Now that he has to pay for his own food and drinks, He Ziqian's meager earnings are simply not enough to cover his expenses, so he can't afford to hire anyone to take care of him and has called the person away.
Mother He didn't believe it.
Yun Jin didn't believe it either.
Looking at the well-fed and chubby little Niangao, and then at her own two sons, Feng Qianqian thought, why should her precious little ones be mistreated? She refused to leave this time.
Mr. and Mrs. He had no choice but to let them have dinner there. Seeing that they didn't leave, Mrs. He said, "It's getting late, you should go back. We need to rest too!"
"Grandma, let's stay here tonight. It's too cold, and the two children can't stand it. We'll go back tomorrow." He Ziqian carried the children to their room, only to find the door locked.
He Ziqian pleaded with his eyes: "Grandma, please don't think about me, but think about Da Bao and Xiao Bao. Let us stay through this winter. When spring comes next year, they'll be a little older, and we won't be afraid of the cold living outside."
Feng Qianqian also pleaded, "Grandma, please, I really can't take care of them all by myself. Da Bao and Xiao Bao have both lost weight from hunger lately. I will focus on taking care of the children from now on and won't be a burden to you."
Mother He didn't speak, but glanced at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin's gaze was indifferent; she did not participate in He's mother's decision.
Little Rice Cake pouted unhappily, clearly displeased.
While Mrs. He hesitated, Mr. He made a phone call: "I've called a car to take you downstairs. Da Bao and Xiao Bao won't get cold. Don't bring them out unless necessary."
He Ziqian: "......"
Feng Qianqian never expected that even after all this, she would still be kicked out.
If Mrs. He agrees, Mr. He won't say anything.
Now that Mr. He has refused, no one else dares to object.
He Ziqian didn't dare to be shameless anymore, so he could only slink away, wrapping Xiaobao in his military overcoat while Feng Qianqian carried Dabao, both wrapped up tightly.
They left, but then they saw the fruit on the coffee table, said they hadn't bought any, and took it with them.
Mrs. He: "......"
In the car, Feng Qianqian and He Ziqian stared at each other blankly.
Back home, Feng Qianqian complained angrily, "It must be that wicked woman Yun Jin who didn't want to. Now even Grandpa and Grandma have to watch their faces. How could she be so unreasonable!"
"She has that ability?" He Ziqian didn't believe it; perhaps his gambling had angered the old man.
He Ziqian regretted it!
“Of course there is! That woman is very good at manipulating people. Grandma just glanced at that woman and she was unhappy, so Grandma wouldn’t agree. That’s why Grandpa had to step in.” Feng Qianqian got angrier and angrier as she spoke: “How are we going to get through the New Year? Da Bao and Xiao Bao eat a lot, and I can’t keep up with the demand. I need to buy milk powder right away.”
