"Yingzi, Aimin, and Yunyun, are you here?" As soon as they entered the bus station, the three of them saw He Qiu and Ji Yue waiting, and He Qiu greeted them with a smile.
"Are you anxious? Sister Qiuqiu, we were delayed for a while on the way." Qin Ying apologized.
"We just arrived, it's still early, there's no rush."
Ji Yue brought a lot of things, which were obviously prepared by He Qiu. Her son traveled thousands of miles and her mother was worried that no matter how many things she brought, it would not be enough. She just wished she could be by her child's side all the time.
The departure time is coming soon, everyone is ready to get on the bus.
"Yingzi, Aimin, our Ayue will trouble you." He Qiu said seriously with reluctance.
Qin Ying: "Sister Qiuqiu, don't say such things. Ah Yue is just like my own child. Aimin and I will keep an eye on him, so don't worry."
Su Aimin also nodded, "Sister Qiu, just put your heart in your stomach and don't worry." Although he disliked Ji Yue in some aspects, but aside from this, he still had nothing to say in other aspects. Yes, because of the bond between the two families, he will also help take care of it.
"Okay, I won't say any more then." He Qiu smiled and waved, "You guys, hurry up and get in the car, it's too late."
Ji Yue looked at her and said seriously: "Mom, you and my dad take care of your health. I will be back during the holidays."
"I know." He Qiu turned away, not wanting the child to see his red eyes, "Let's go quickly."
The four of them got into the car, and He Qiu kept waving. She watched the car drive out, gradually losing sight of the shadow, and tears finally fell down.
After getting in the car, Ji Yue was not in a good mood. How could he not see the discomfort that his mother was holding back just now? He felt bad too.
Su Qingyun noticed his depressed mood and turned her head to look at her father who was concentrating with his eyes closed. He placed the bag slung across his body between her and Ji Yue. Under the cover of the bag, Su Qingyun gently squeezed his hand. To show comfort.
Ji Yue stared slightly and quickly glanced at Su Aimin and Qin Ying. He was relieved when they didn't notice. He wanted to retract his hand but was a little reluctant to let go.
"I'm fine." He mouthed.
Su Qingyun blinked and retracted his hand. Ji Yue rubbed his fingertips, as if the touch just now still stayed on his fingertips.
There were still a lot of people in the car, chattering, and filled with the sounds of chickens and ducks, but for the first time, Su Qingyun didn't feel noisy.
Su Qingyun recalled what the teacher said to her before leaving.
Chu Xianming looked at her with pleased eyes, "Qingyun, your life, the teacher can only accompany you for this part of the journey now. You still need to walk on your own in the future. There will be countless possibilities in your future, teacher." I believe you will shine wherever you go.”
"But no matter when, I will always be here and I will always be your teacher."
His sigh was the most sincere blessing from a teacher to his students.
Su Qingyun's eyes were wet, and she said thank you, without saying anything else, because she knew that soon, the teacher would have a chance to go back, and it wouldn't be too long before they meet again.
Thinking of this, she was in a very good mood. Everything was moving in a good direction. This time, they also rushed to a distant place with hope.
Not only them, but countless people, in this spring, from factories, fields, farms and other places far away, rush to their own future with endless expectations.
From car to train, from S Province to the capital, after several days and months, they finally stood on the land of the capital again.
The four people, who were a little tired from the journey, walked out of the train station without delay and went directly to the guest house near Huaqing University. After showing their letters of introduction, because the registration time had not yet arrived, the four people temporarily opened two rooms. Qin Ying and Su Qingyun slept, while Ji Yue and Su Aimin slept.
After putting down their large and small luggage, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally arrived.
"Let's rest for a while, and then we'll go have dinner. We'll talk about the rest later." Su Aimin made arrangements. Several people along the way had never eaten anything good, so of course they had to have a meal first.
Qin Ying nodded and asked Ji Yue, "Ayue, what do you want to eat?"
"I can do it, Aunt Qiu."
Qin Ying thought for a while, "Then let's go eat that roast duck. Aimin, didn't you always talk about this at home before? What do you think?"
"Okay." Su Qingyun didn't care.
After resting for a while, they walked out of the door relaxedly and walked straight to the roast duck restaurant.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served. Su Aimin squinted his eyes with satisfaction after eating. The taste was still the same as in his memory, so delicious.
After eating half full, he started to talk about the real thing, "If we are looking for a house, it would be best to find it in the middle of your two schools. This way we are relatively close and it is easy to get in and out."
Su Qingyun was at Huaqing University and Qin Ying was at Beijing Normal University. The two schools were not far apart. With a distance of seven or eight kilometers, it would be best to find a house in the middle of the two schools.
Qin Ying nodded, "I think so too, but the capital is so big. If there is a house for sale here, I don't think I would dare to make it too public. Where can we go to find out?"
She was a little embarrassed. After all, buying and selling a house was not something that could be publicized everywhere. They couldn't ask questions everywhere, right? Then they were probably taken away as suspicious persons before the house even saw them.
After Su Qingyun thought for a while, he said, "Mom and Dad, I think it's best for us to go see a private house."
Although many families now have more workers and will sell their extra houses quietly, it is not safe after all, and the real estate certificate cannot be obtained. In order to live comfortably, it is more secure to buy a private house. .
"That's right." Su Aimin has been in business, so he naturally knows how to sail with caution. Since he is going to buy a house, he must look for one that is satisfactory in all aspects.
"Let's not be in a hurry and take our time. Buying a house is not a trivial matter." Su Aimin never thought that he would be able to buy a suitable house as soon as he came to the capital. He was already mentally prepared.
Su Qingyun also nodded. Her plan to buy a small house was different from her parents'. She had money. It was only 1978. Even buying a mansion in this era was enough. If she wanted to buy one, she wanted to buy a good one. , anyway, houses in Beijing will only rise, not fall.
However, how to find out where there are private houses for sale is indeed a problem, and she also fell into thinking.
Ji Yue looked at the thinking expressions of the three of them, thought for a while and said, "Aunt Qiu, Uncle Aimin, if you believe me, I can find someone to help find out where there are spare houses to buy."
The two looked at him in shock, "Ah Yue, are you looking for someone to inquire?"
"Yes." Ji Yue nodded and smiled, "Anyway, I grew up here, and there are some old acquaintances in our family. I can still inquire about this little thing."
"Is this... going to be too much trouble?" Qin Ying hesitated.
She knew that the situation of the Ji family was not much better than that of the Qin family. Wouldn't it be bad to let him trouble others when he came to the capital? It's like she never thought of asking the Wu family for help.
"It's no trouble, I'm just asking about something." Ji Yue said in a relaxed tone, "Just asking."
"Okay, then you go and ask." Su Aimin responded simply, "We won't let him help in vain, we will pay the introduction fee." Naturally, you can't ask someone to help you in vain. He still understands this truth. .
Ji Yue didn't say anything unnecessary, he just nodded and said: "Okay, Uncle Aimin, I'll go find someone after dinner later. You guys wait for my news."
"Okay, I'll bother you, Ayue." Qin Ying said with a smile, "Sister Qiuqiu asked us to take care of you. Now, I didn't expect you to take care of us."
"It's okay, Aunt Qiu."
"I'll go with you." Su Qingyun said.
this……
Ji Yue looked at Qin Ying and Su Aimin, whose expressions had not changed, and nodded, "Okay."
After eating, Su Qingyun and Ji Yue left first, while Qin Ying and Su Aimin walked around first.
Seeing the two children walking away, Su Aimin narrowed his eyes, "This kid is usually quiet, but he really knows how to cause trouble."
Qin Ying gave him a slap in the face in a funny way, "My child also has good intentions, but why does he have an ulterior motive in your mouth?"
"Doesn't it seem like he has some other purpose?" Su Aimin asked in disbelief, "He just has his purpose written on his face."
"Okay, my daughter is old, she can do whatever she wants. As parents, we have to respect her ideas." Qin Ying knew that he just felt a little sad, "Besides, this kid Ayue is really good. of."
"What's good?" Su Aimin said angrily.
"Then let me ask you, can you find any fault with him?"
Su Aimin choked and rubbed his neck, "Anyway, I just feel uncomfortable."
"If you feel uncomfortable, just hold it in for a while." Qin Ying became impatient and walked forward, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back to the guest house to rest. Don't follow me."
"Daughter-in-law, I didn't mean that. Just wait for me!" Su Aimin quickly caught up.
Over there, Ji Yue and Su Qingyun walked a long way and finally arrived at the post office. He went in and made a phone call.
"Where do you want to be picked up?" the post office worker asked.
"Housing Authority."
Hearing this, Su Qingyun looked at Ji Yue in surprise, Housing Authority?
"Okay, wait a minute."
Soon, the staff handed the phone receiver to Ji Yue, and a voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Hello, Beijing Housing Authority, who are you looking for?"
"Please find Director Chen Yuhang."
"wait."
It's another period of waiting. This is how it is in this era. If you want to call someone, you need to be transferred to another person.
Su Qingyun was full of doubts, but Ji Yue was on the phone, so she didn't rush to ask.
Ji Yue waited patiently, and finally a confused voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I am Chen Yuhang, who are you?"
Ji Yue curled up his lips and said, "I am Ji Yue."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for three seconds, and then there was a cry of "Fuck!"
