After riding the train for a day and a night, we arrived in Beijing the next morning.
The old lady, Shui Shangqing and his wife, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, and Bo Kang took the bus to Shui Jianjun's house.
Shui Shangqing took out the spare key given by his son, opened the lock on the door, and the group entered the yard.
Liu Xuemei went to the kitchen and made breakfast for the family. After a simple meal, she took a good rest.
In the afternoon, Shui Jianjun returned home and saw his family.
The old lady asked him: "Where does Bingyue live? Let's go see her after dinner. We haven't seen this little girl for a long time."
"Grandma, I'm going to pick her up now. You guys wait at home."
Liu Xuemei patted her son on the shoulder: "You have been tired for a day, so hurry up and eat before we talk. Don't be in a hurry. We can stay here for a long time."
When Shui Bokang was eating, he asked curiously: "Third uncle, why haven't you met your future third aunt?"
"She has gone back to her home and will come over tomorrow. What, do you miss her?"
"No, I just don't know when I can enjoy your banquet?"
Shui Jianjun felt strange: "Why are you so concerned about our affairs?"
“Because my parents didn’t have a chance to partake in the banquet, and when my second uncle got married, I was too young and didn’t have any part in it.
When my parents and I attended a wedding in the county town, we felt that the banquet was really delicious and had a lot of meat.
So I really look forward to my third uncle getting married soon. Then you can eat it. Really looking forward to it. "
Shui Shangqing fondly touched his eldest grandson's head: "You little guy, all you want to do is eat. I thought you were really urging your third uncle to get married."
Liu Xuemei asked her son more formally: "When will you take us to visit Ziqi's parents and talk about your marriage?"
"Let me ask Zi Qi in person about this when Zi Qi comes over tomorrow. After all, her will is the main thing between the two of us."
"Okay, then I'll ask tomorrow."
The family had a great time eating. It was also the first time for the neighbors to see so many people in Shui Jianjun's house.
When he was riding out to pick up his sister, the neighbor's aunt stopped him and asked, "Who are you who came to your house today?"
"Aunt Wang, these are my family members. My grandma, mom and dad, brothers, and my eldest nephew."
"Hey, your family is really prosperous. You brothers are also very talented, and your parents are really good at giving birth."
Shui Jianjun smiled and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, but it will get dark soon. I have something to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Okay, go quickly. I won't delay your business." Aunt Wang has already got the information she wants. I turned around and shared it with others.
Shui Jianjun rode his bicycle very fast, arrived at Shen Dongsheng's home, and knocked on the door. It was Zhao Dong who opened the door.
He saw that there was only Shui Jianjun outside the door, and asked curiously: "Why are you alone? Where is my sister?"
"Your sister went home directly. I'm here to take Bingyue home today. Someone is coming to our house."
The two entered the courtyard together. Shen Dongsheng's family had not finished dinner when they saw Shui Jianjun coming in and invited him to join them.
"Jianjun, sit down and have something to eat together."
"No, Mr. Shen, I've had dinner at home. Today I'm taking Bingyue home. My grandma, parents, brothers, and Bo Kang are all here."
Shen Dongsheng nodded: "Okay, I understand." Then he said to the little girl: "Bingyue, I will give you a week's holiday. You have already finished your studies, so there is no need to stay here with me every day."
"Okay, thank you, Master."
Little Yuanbao was unhappy: "Then I won't be able to see Aunt Bingyue for several days?"
Chen Qiuyue was helpless: "Yuanbao, Bingyue is going to see her relatives, and it's not like she won't come back. Don't talk too much."
"Oh, I understand." The child looked pitiful.
Zhao Dong is also not used to it. After all, they study together every day. It’s so lonely with so few people around.
But no matter what these people thought, Shui Bingyue followed Shui Jianjun back home after dinner.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Shui Bokang rushed over like a small cannonball and threw himself into his aunt's arms.
"Auntie, we haven't seen each other for more than a month. I really miss you."
Shui Bingyue touched his head tenderly and said in a gentle voice: "A great man, why are you so sentimental?"
"That's because my aunt is good to me, so I naturally miss my aunt."
Shui Bokang knew that his great-grandmother, grandparents, and uncles also missed his aunt, so he let her go.
The three of them walked into the main room together. Shui Bingyue walked to her grandma's seat, threw herself into her arms and acted coquettishly.
The old lady hugged this little girl and smiled from ear to ear. Jokingly: "I heard you talking about Bo Kang just now, and now you are like him?"
"I miss grandma. Has grandma lost weight?"
"No, it's still the same as before. I eat well every day, sleep well, and don't have to go to the ground. I'm much fatter than before."
"That's good." Shui Bingyue felt at ease listening to her grandma's strong heartbeat.
Then he let go of grandma, walked to my father and mother's seat, and talked to them: "My father and mother look very good today. It seems that they are having a very happy time."
"Then I'm so happy to be here to see you. You seem to have lost weight." Liu Xuemei touched her daughter's little face and said distressedly.
Shui Bingyue shook her head and denied: "Mom, at Master's place, I basically cook, and what I cook is what I like to eat.
Master didn't treat me badly, it's just that it's hot in the summer and I eat less, so I should be growing taller. "
Shui Shangqing stood up directly, walked to his daughter's side, and gestured with his hands. It was indeed a bit higher than before.
Then he picked up his daughter, shook her, and said seriously: "Bingyue, you are indeed a little thinner than before."
Shui Bingyue was helpless: "Dad, after so long, do you still remember the weight of me when you held me in your arms?"
"Of course, my hands are very accurate, and they were developed after a long period of training back then. But they are of no use now."
After Shui Bingyue finished chatting with the elders, she started chatting with her three brothers. Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi surrounded their sister, talking in all directions.
Shui Bingyue could hear it and answered their questions one by one: "I didn't mean to leave without waiting for you to go home. It's really not safe for Master to leave alone, and I want to protect him."
"Then have you met any bad people?" Xiao Qi was very concerned about this issue.
"Of course, but Uncle Zhao arranged two bodyguards for Master and solved a lot of problems. Master received a large amount of compensation and most of the house."
Xiaowu was very curious: "Is there anything interesting here?"
Shui Bingyue shook her head: "I haven't been around much, third brother knows a lot. Fifth brother can ask him."
