The Shui family's small villa was returned a long time ago. It had been requisitioned for other people to live in. The house was severely damaged and all the previous furniture was broken. Later, the government subsidized them with some money.
After Professor Shui and his family returned to Beijing, they hired a construction team to renovate their home. The house, inside and out, looks brand new, and the family now lives very comfortably.
"Linglong, is Nanmen Street far from your home?" Yang Manrong asked.
"It's not very far, just a ten-minute walk."
Gong Linglong told them the address and invited them, "Director Peng, Secretary Yang, the day after tomorrow is Sunday and we have no work. Please come to our house for lunch at noon."
"It's hard enough for you to take care of three children, and it will be very tiring to cook on top of that. I won't bother you by coming." Yang Manrong didn't want to burden her.
"My mother is pregnant now, and we're moving to the military family compound next week. This weekend, my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law's sisters-in-law will be coming over for dinner, and they'll help me prepare the food."
She invited him warmly, and Yang Manrong had no choice but to agree: "Okay, we will try to come as early as possible to help you."
On the way back to Beijing, with Yang Manrong and her daughter helping to hold the children and play with them, Gong Linglong and the others felt much more relaxed. Lu Jingchuan also had the leisure to play chess with Peng Jianhe and his son for half a day.
It is common for trains to be delayed these days, and the train I took today was delayed by more than an hour.
Lu Jingyang and his wife had been waiting at the exit. When they saw them coming out with their bags, Jiang Yun immediately came to greet them: "You three stinky babies, you're finally back. Auntie has been waiting impatiently."
The triplets grinned when they saw her, and accepted the kisses she offered with a smile.
"Deputy Captain Jiang, long time no see."
Yang Manrong only recently found out that she and Gong Linglong had become sisters-in-law.
"Director Yang, long time no see." Jiang Yun smiled and shook her hand. She looked at her family members beside her and took the initiative to greet them: "Hello, uncle, my name is Jiang Yun."
"Hello, Deputy Commander Jiang."
The four members of the Peng family, father and son, shook hands with the couple, exchanged a few words, and then left together carrying their luggage.
Because Gong Linglong called in advance, Lu Jingyang and his family drove two cars to pick them up. Lu Jingchuan and his family took one car, and Yang Manrong's family took another car.
Jiang Yun helped put the luggage in the trunk and asked Lu Jingyang to take his brothers and sisters-in-law home. She went to see off the Peng family. After everyone got in the car, she asked, "Director Yang, where do you live? I'll take you home first."
"Nanmen Street, Jianshe Road."
"Oh, it's on Nanmen Street. Then go the same way as them." Jiang Yun stepped on the accelerator and drove away first.
Yang Manrong and her daughter squeezed into the passenger seat and chatted with her: "Deputy Commander Jiang, I just heard Linglong tell you about your marriage to Comrade Lu Jingyang yesterday. Congratulations to you."
"Thanks."
Jiang Yun also heard about her job transfer. "I heard that your husband was transferred to Kyoto a long time ago, and now you have been transferred here too. Your children have also come to Kyoto to work and study, and the family is reunited again."
"Yes, we are reunited." Yang Manrong curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Deputy Commander Jiang, do you work in the Kyoto Military Region?" asked Peng Jianhe in the back row.
"Director Peng, I'm not in the army right now. I'm studying at the Military Command College. I need to study for two years to improve my cultural knowledge. I'll follow the army's arrangements for my future work."
"So he's an elite from the military academy." Peng Jianhe smiled and asked, "Is your husband, Comrade Lu, also a soldier like his brother?"
"No, he works at the Public Security Bureau."
"It turns out to be a marriage between the military and the police, a powerful alliance."
Peng Jianhe is quite optimistic about these two young couples. They both have outstanding looks and impeccable abilities.
Peng Liyao, sitting on her mother's lap, smiled faintly: "Sister Jiang Yun, I also saw you and your lover in the disaster area. You were delivering supplies to the West District."
"Yes, we first met in the disaster area. I worked as a volunteer there for half a month."
Jiang Yun took a closer look at her and said with a smile, "Little sister, I'm sorry. There were so many people helping with the disaster relief work at that time, and everyone was covered in dust and dirt. I didn't recognize you."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Peng Liyao waved her hands repeatedly, looking at her with admiration. "Sister Jiang Yun, you drive so handsomely and coolly. You turned the steering wheel and the truck swung its tail past in a flash. Many volunteer drivers were stunned."
Jiang Yun smiled when she heard this. "I learned my driving skills in the army. Driving is a necessary skill for us."
"Linglong drives very well too." Yang Manrong praised the assistant she personally selected.
"Yes, Linglong drives very well. She's a quick learner. I heard she learned to drive a jeep, a tractor, and a truck in just two nights. I was much slower than her. It took me half a month to learn, and I didn't dare drive a large truck on the road for two months. But she dared to go out and haul goods the next day after she finished learning. I can't compare to her in this respect."
"You are all the pride of lesbians." Yang Manrong smiled.
The Peng family's father and son, who were sitting in the back row, all widened their eyes when they heard Jiang Yun's words. This pair of sisters-in-law were too outstanding. The two brothers of the Lu family had really sharp eyes.
Jiang Yun sent the family downstairs and helped carry their luggage upstairs. She declined the offer of tea and rest and hurriedly drove to the Gong family.
As soon as they got home, the triplets lay down on the comfortable sofa and performed their somersault skills for Lu Jingyang.
Jiang Yun saw them rolling back and forth as she entered the room. "Oh my! Our three little darlings are already so agile in just over three months. They can be trained to become the successors of our second senior brother."
Lu Jingchuan had just thrown a large bag of dirty clothes into the bathroom, and came over to pour a bowl of boiled water to drink. He said, "Hurry up and have children. Have more at a time. We can form a Lu family army and train them all at once."
"Having a baby isn't something you can do just by chance. You were married for several months before you got pregnant."
Jiang Yun was not a shy person, and she talked about these things openly. She leaned on Lu Jingyang like a boneless person, and the newlyweds were very sweet and affectionate.
Speaking of having children, Jiang Yun told them another story, "The day after you went to Seoul, Ruan Qiuhe returned to Kyoto. I heard she's pregnant, and now she's living with her in-laws because of her pregnancy."
"She had a very bad relationship with Qi Bin. Qi Bin was a jerk. I heard he often beat her and didn't allow her to give birth to the child. He forced her to have an abortion. She ran back to Beijing secretly."
"She started making a scene as soon as she came back. The elders of the Qi family had to save face, so they had no choice but to arrange for her to stay at home to take care of the pregnancy."
"She must be out of her mind. She's clearly not getting along with her husband, she has a bad reputation, she's cut ties with the Lu family, and she doesn't have a job or income, yet she's still making trouble in the Qi family. I heard the old man from the Qi family gave her a good scolding the day before yesterday, and only then did she calm down."
