On Sunday, Zhao Ruozhu called the whole family home for dinner.
"I invited a photographer to come to my house. After dinner, the whole family took a picture together," she said.
In fact, everyone knows that the chance of Yu Xiangnian returning to Nancheng is low.
Top students from Peking University will definitely stay in Beijing after graduation.
From then on, they met Xiang Nian only a handful of times.
When taking pictures, Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu sat in the middle, while Xiaojie, Duoduo, and Guangming stood on both sides.
Yu Xiangguo, Yu Xianghua, Yu Xiangyang, and Cheng Jingmo stood behind Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu, while Yu Xiangnian, the eldest sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law stood on both sides.
After the family photo was taken, Yu Jiashun waved his hand and asked everyone to spread out, "Just take the photo with us, Nian Nian."
He didn't want to think about Yu Xiangnian and see those three sons when he looked at the photos!
Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu were still sitting. Yu Xiangnian stood behind them, holding them with his arms respectively, bending his body and putting his head between them.
After taking this picture, Zhao Ruozhu called Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie over, "You and your family of three will also take a picture."
Cheng Jingmo, Yu Xiangnian, and Xiaojie all had this intention.
The three of them were standing, with Yu Xiangnian in the middle.
She knew that Cheng Jingmo must be strict in front of so many people.
She took the initiative to hold Cheng Jingmo's arm, and put her other hand around Xiaojie's shoulder. The three of them were intimate.
Cheng Jingmo lowered his eyes and looked at the white hand on his arm, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Yu Xiangnian also took a single photo.
The photographer will send the photos the day after tomorrow, and Yu Xiangnian will leave in five days.
Just after taking pictures, Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie came back from outside.
Yu Jiashun started again, "Lao Qiu, are you back?"
Qiu Dahui quickened his pace, walked back to his home without looking back, and closed the door.
Yang Jie walked behind and said to Zhao Ruozhu with a look of disgust, "Tell me about your family, Lao Yu. He shows off his double happiness to anyone he catches all day long. Everyone in this family is afraid of him!"
Zhao Ruozhu could only smile helplessly.
If those three sons were admitted to college or had children, Yu Jiashun would definitely not show off to outsiders, but Yu Xiangnian, that would not work!
I don’t know who told Yu Xiangnian about Yu Xiangnian’s admission to college and her pregnancy, but it spread throughout the whole family.
The family members did not know about Peking University. They only heard Feng Aiqin say that Peking University in Beijing is one of the best universities in our country.
"Comrade Yu is a golden phoenix. He will fly away sooner or later. How can he stay in our courtyard!" Feng Aiqin said with emotion.
"No!" Everyone agreed.
Living in a family home is the best life for them. With a man supporting the family, they don't have to work in the fields.
"We already have children, how can we go to school?" someone asked.
Feng Aiqin had never gone to college and didn't know much about it. She said vaguely, "Anyway... just go to school like that."
“I’m going to give birth to a child, can I still bring the child into the classroom?”
"She goes to college, what should Deputy Commander Cheng do?"
"How many years will it take to study in this university? Will she come back?"
“···”
Feng Aiqin couldn't answer the questions one after another, "It's time to go home and cook!"
Cheng Jingmo didn't have to cook for three consecutive afternoons.
I ate at Liu Zhen's sister-in-law's house the day before yesterday, I ate at Wang Hongxiang's house yesterday, and I ate at Feng Aiqin's house today.
Other family members also invited Yu Xiangnian and the others to have dinner at home, but Yu Xiangnian declined.
On February 28, two days before Xiang Nian left home, the three of them returned home again.
Zhao Ruozhu showed them the developed photos, two each of a family portrait, a family of three, and three single photos of Yu Xiangnian.
One of them is a five-point photograph, which Yu Xiangnian specially left for Cheng Jingmo.
She went to the department store and bought a wallet and put the photo in it.
After dinner, Zhao Ruozhu called Yu Xiangnian to the room as usual.
This time I gave her a bankbook. Yu Xiangnian opened it and saw that it was a total of two thousand yuan!
She closed the bankbook and joked, "Mom, our family is so rich, but you still teach us to eat bran-thick vegetables all day long."
Zhao Ruozhu was not in the mood to joke with her today, "Keep it well, I'll give it to you for college."
Yu Xiangnian put the bankbook on the table, "You keep it, I won't use it, and it doesn't cost money to go to college. Cheng Jingmo's salary is enough."
"Take it!" Zhao Ruozhu thrust the bankbook into her hand again, "If anything happens, it's for emergency use!"
"Mom, I really don't need it!" Yu Xiangnian pushed the bankbook back, "I am a young man who has the ability to make money. You are old, so keep it for yourself."
Hearing this, Zhao Ruozhu became jealous, "You kid, you suddenly become sensible. I used to blame your dad for spoiling you!"
Yu Jiashun was hiding in the corner at the door, listening secretly, his eyes also red.
Yu Xiangnian wiped the tears on Zhao Ruozhu's face with paper, and said calmly, "I'm back on vacation, just over three months. Besides, I call you every week."
Parents are all like this. They look forward to their children flying high, but are reluctant to let their children fly far away.
Zhao Ruozhu endured the sadness of parting, "You have to take care of yourself. You are two people now. You have to be careful in everything you do."
"Don't worry, I know."
Zhao Ruozhu added: "If you have anything to do, call your dad. He also has comrades he knows in Beijing."
"Yeah, I will."
"Call mom if you want anything to eat and I'll send it to you."
"good."
Zhao Ruozhu held Yu Xiangnian and warned him all night.
Yu Jiashun's security guard drove them back. Looking at the car driving out of the family compound, Yu Jiashun also wiped away tears.
There is no way to release the sadness in my heart, I can only blame Zhao Ruozhu, "You have to force the bankbook on her!"
Zhao Ruozhu also suppressed his sadness and cursed: "Why don't you come in and stuff me?!"
After returning home, Yu Xiangnian took out his wallet and waved it in front of Cheng Jingmo's eyes, "Here you go."
Cheng Jingmo opened it and saw what Yu Xiangnian looked like.
In the black and white photo, he has jet black hair, an oval face, delicate facial features, and particularly beautiful eyes, slightly curved, with a bright smile.
Yu Xiangnian said with a smile: "Take the wallet with you. I can take a look at it if you want. The two family photos are a bit large. You can keep them at home."
Cheng Jingmo responded quietly, "Okay."
The closer it was to departure, the more reluctant Cheng Jingmo was to leave.
