"Really? Mom." Su Qingyun was overjoyed and asked Qin Ying, "Grandma and grandpa, can they really go back to the city?"
"But...it's okay!" Tears welled up in Qin Ying's eyes, "It's really okay. Your grandparents have already said in the letter that they will be back in these two days."
"Great, really great!" Su Qingyun couldn't help but keep repeating.
From the moment he set things right, Su Qingyun knew that the day when grandma and grandpa would come back was not far away, but she didn't expect it would be so soon.
Although she had never met her grandparents, she could feel the love and care the two old men had for her from letters sent one after another over the past two years.
Even if we put aside this family relationship, one of them is a teacher who teaches and educates people, and the other is a veteran who has retired from the battlefield. After suffering so much, they should have a good ending.
Su Aimin finally came to his senses and was extremely excited. He was happy for his wife. He knew that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had always been a worry in Qin Ying's heart over the years. It was in the past two years that he contacted them. Qin Yingcai is much better.
Now that her father-in-law and mother-in-law can come back and reunite as a family, she is naturally even more happy for her.
"We will pick up grandma and grandpa and the others together then." Su Qingyun said, "We also have to clean the room at home to make it convenient for grandma and grandpa and the others to stay when they come back."
"Yes, yes, that's right. We have to be well prepared for such a big happy event." Su Aimin also nodded fiercely.
"Yes." Qin Ying cried with joy. Now she calmed down and smiled again.
"Then let's go back first."
Qin Ying helped pack things together, and soon the family of three returned home with unsold large and small bags of goods.
The family was happily looking forward to the arrival of the two old men. On the other side, Wang Biyun and Qin Weiguo were already on the train back to the capital.
The speeding train is moving forward, and outside the window are the houses, trees, plains and hillsides that are constantly retreating.
Wang Biyun leaned against the window and stared for a long time without moving.
"What are you looking at? It's time to eat." Qin Weiguo was holding a lunch box in his hand, which was the meal he had just brought back from the dining car.
Wang Biyun turned back and said with a smile: "When I look at the scenery outside the window, I seem to have seen the past years of the two of us, the plains and hillsides, the good times and bad, as well as the setbacks and tribulations."
"Frustrations and tribulations are used to test people. Aren't we doing well?" Qin Weiguo said calmly, "Although my life has not been good these years, it is not too bad."
"Think about what life we lived before liberation? Not to mention not having enough to eat or wearing warm clothes, we were worried every moment whether the shells would fall next to us in the next second. We are now At least you don’t have to worry about these, that’s good.”
Although he has spent so many years in the new province, Qin Weiguo has always wanted to be happy. No matter how bad life is, it will not be worse than before. Suffering always has an end. Don't they just wait for it now?
"That's true, people have to learn to be content." Wang Biyun smiled. She was not someone who liked to blame others.
"I can't wait to fly back now. I just want to meet Yingying and the others. After so many years, she is still the same little girl in my memory. I'm afraid I won't dare to recognize her again if we meet again."
"And my Yunyun, she has grown so big, and I have never seen her before." Speaking of Su Qingyun, Wang Biyun could not suppress the pride in his eyes, "Yingying and the others have taught their children very well, and they are very promising. .”
"It doesn't matter whether you are successful or not, little girl, it is best if you can be safe and happy." Qin Weiguo said.
He is not of much use to his children and grandchildren. He does not need to be successful or successful, as long as he is safe, healthy and happy.
"Yes, it's good enough to be safe and happy."
After Wang Biyun said this, she didn't know what she thought of and suddenly shed tears.
"Weiguo, why do you think that child Lu Cheng became like that?"
"Don't mention him to me!" Qin Weiguo suddenly grimaced, not wanting to hear Lu Cheng's name, "It's probably because I was blind and didn't see his wolfish ambitions!"
"In order to climb up, he can really use any means. Just watch, he will get his retribution."
Although Qin Weiguo was gnashing his teeth and scolding, he could not hide the pain in his eyes. He used to treat Lu Cheng as his own son, so Lu Cheng's betrayal was the biggest blow to him.
Over the years, Lu Cheng actually sent them things and various letters begging for their forgiveness, but without exception, he threw them out, and later he stopped sending them.
Qin Weiguo has always been black and white, and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If Lu Cheng can do such things as he climbs up, he will no longer be soft-hearted towards him.
Wang Biyun had a sad look on his face, "If our Xiaoxun hadn't..."
"Stop talking!" Qin Weiguo interrupted her again, "Xiaoxun is gone a long time ago. After we go back, let's not mention Xiaoxun in front of Yingying. If she doesn't know about Xiaoxun's brother, it's better that she never knows. "
Because even if he knew, Xiaoxun would never come back, so why add to the worries?
Wang Biyun was silent, her eyes were a little red, but no tears came down. The tears she shed for Xiaoxun had already dried up in the early years.
"Let's eat." Qin Weiguo was silent for a long time before he said.
"good."
The old couple ate in silence, with the setting sun streaming in from the window and falling on them, casting tiny silhouettes, beautiful and lonely.
The train stopped at the Beijing Railway Station. The tired old couple stood up and got off the train with their luggage. They walked slowly and looked for familiar figures in the crowd.
After not coming back for so many years, the train station had changed, and the two of them suddenly felt a little bit out of place.
"Have you seen Yingying?" Qin Weiguo asked.
"No." Wang Biyun glanced around again, "They'll probably pick us up outside."
The two of them followed the direction of the crowd and exited the station. As soon as they arrived at the exit, they saw a long banner with their names clearly written on it.
The old couple stopped in unison, looked at the words on the banner, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Welcome grandma Wang Biyun and grandpa Qin Weiguo home!"
The long banner was particularly eye-catching at the exit of the station. They saw it at a glance. The ones holding the banner were the father and daughter Su Qingyun and Su Aimin.
Qin Ying stood aside. From the time she left the house until now, her hands and feet were weak, and she was extremely excited and nervous. She stood here and looked around, like a young bird longing for its parents to return to the nest far away.
"Dad, Mom!"
A long way away, she saw Wang Biyun and Qin Weiguo who had stopped. She could no longer control the excitement and joy in her heart and cried out.
This sound was heartbreaking and full of longing.
The old couple was suddenly shocked and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
That was their daughter. Their daughter, who had been separated for 20 years, had turned from a little girl into the daughter of another little girl’s mother.
In their eyes, their daughter still looks like they remember her, but in fact, after so many years, her daughter's face has wrinkles and traces of time.
Wang Biyun covered her mouth and started crying, her face full of distress.
Qin Weiguo's hands carrying the luggage were trembling and his eyes were red. His daughter, who he had cared for for so many years, had now become like this. How could he not feel distressed?
Qin Ying couldn't help but ran over and threw herself into the arms of the two old people. Her tears were like running water and she couldn't hold them back at all.
"Mom and Dad, I miss you so much, I really miss you so much," she said while crying.
The whole figure is like a child who has been found after being lost and finally meets her parents. Perhaps in front of her parents, she will always be a child, and she will always be the little girl she was back then.
Wang Biyun and Qin Weiguo were also in tears, and the three of them cried together. People passing by kept looking back with curious eyes.
Su Qingyun and her father put away the banner and walked over quickly.
After a long time, the three finally calmed down.
Wang Biyun looked at Su Qingyun's face that resembled Qin Ying's, and her heart was full of love, "Isn't that right? I am grandma."
"Hello, grandma." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
"Good boy." Wang Biyun couldn't help but hugged her into his arms and touched her head lovingly, "What a good boy, grandma finally sees you."
Su Qingyun felt this warm embrace and her nose felt sore. Grandma's embrace was as warm as her breast's embrace.
"Ahem." Qin Weiguo coughed.
Su Qingyun withdrew from her grandma's arms, looked at Qin Weiguo, and called out obediently, "Hello, grandpa."
"Okay, okay." Qin Weiguo's serious face couldn't hold back at all and he smiled.
He really likes this girl. Although she looks like Yingying, Qin Weiguo feels that Qingyun's energy is quite similar to his.
The family cried and laughed. There were tears on their faces just now, but now they couldn't help but smile. After being excited, they finally calmed down.
"Let's go, parents, let's go back first. We are ready at home." Su Aimin spoke at the right time.
Qin Weiguo's eyes finally fell on him, looking up and down carefully, which made Su Aimin feel a little scared.
His father-in-law was indeed a veteran who had retired from the battlefield, and he was really frightened by those eyes.
Qin Weiguo watched for a long time and said nothing. He knew that Yingying had not suffered much in these years, thanks to his care and care, so he would not embarrass her.
"Let's go." Wang Biyun said with a kind face.
Su Qingyun and Qin Ying held Wang Biyun's arm. Su Aimin helped carry the luggage with great discernment. Qin Weiguo walked beside him. Su Aimin unconsciously began to raise his head and chest, wishing he could goose-step.
