Time flies by like water, and soon, summer goes to autumn, and autumn goes to winter. Qin Ying's courses ended early this semester, and the couple returned home shortly after New Year's Day.
The two of them didn't make any fuss and alerted their family members, telling them the specific time of their return. They carried their luggage and arrived home with a chill all over them.
Su Aimin pushed open the courtyard door, and the first thing he saw was two children running out of the house and running around in the yard. Three-year-old Sui Huan and two-year-old Chun Chun were chasing after each other. They were happy. It doesn’t work.
"Wow!" Chun Chun was running when he lost his balance and fell to the ground, crying out loud.
"Why are you two running out in such a cold weather?" Qin Ying hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him distressedly, "Don't cry, don't cry, it doesn't hurt, come here and let me blow you off."
"I'm cooking, why are you kids running away?"
"Oh, my dear mother!" Zhang Xinlan, who ran out after hearing the noise, was startled when she saw Qin Ying and his wife, and then she was overjoyed, "Third brother, why did you two come back so early this year?"
It was only New Year's Day, and she was back. She had estimated that she wouldn't be able to see anyone until before the Spring Festival.
"It's okay over there in the capital, so of course we'll be back." Qin Ying smiled and explained casually.
In fact, although Qin Ying's classes this semester are over, Su Aimin's business is still in full swing. The reason for coming back so early is simply because they can't come back this year, and they want to come back early to spend more time with their family.
Su Aimin's business is getting bigger and bigger now. He no longer sets up a stall. Instead, he acts as a middleman, delivering goods to other stall owners, because only his products are fashionable, of good quality, and even the price can be kept to the lowest. , there are countless people who want to get goods from him.
Moreover, with Qin Xun's relationship, Su Aimin could often receive some goods from the port city sent by his messengers. Every time these goods appeared, they were snatched up almost immediately.
Although Su Aimin also gave Qin Xun money as usual, he knew that this could not be measured in terms of money. The manpower and material resources required to transport these goods were so easy to clear customs, all because of Qin Xun's relationship. Su Aimin remembered His love.
"Where are the rest of the family?" Su Aimin asked strangely without looking at the others, "Second sister-in-law, why are you alone at home with your two children?"
"What, they..." Zhang Xinlan hesitated.
"What happened?" Su Aimin's expression changed.
Qin Ying also said: "Yes, second sister-in-law, we have just come back, please don't scare us."
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Zhang Xinlan also knew that she couldn't hide it from the two of them, so she could only say truthfully, "My eldest brother and Ai Dang sent my mother to the town hospital, and my sister-in-law took care of me. My father was worried, so he went too. .”
"Then just now, the Congjun couple and the Congwu couple had just arrived home. After hearing the news, they dropped their things and ran away. Aren't I the only two children left?"
"Health center?" Su Aimin became anxious upon hearing this, "What's wrong with mother? Why did you end up in the health center?"
"I just fell down on the mountain yesterday, it's not serious." Zhang Xinlan said quickly, "At that time, my mother said it didn't hurt and it was fine. But when I woke up after sleeping all night, I still felt a little uncomfortable. My eldest brother and the party sent my mother to the hospital. Went to the health center."
"Why is she going up the mountain in this cold weather!" Su Aimin became angry when he heard this, "How old are you? You still think you are the same as a young guy."
"Okay, Aimin, let's put the things down and go see mother quickly." Qin Ying urged Su Aimin with an anxious look on her face.
"Yes, yes." Su Aimin reacted, put down the things in his hands, turned around and ran away. His next words were scattered in the wind, "Second sister-in-law, please put all your things away."
"Sorry to trouble you, second sister-in-law." Qin Ying said and hurriedly went out.
Zhang Xinlan was dumbfounded. She looked at the things here, as well as the two children who stared at her, and laughed angrily. Just leave them all to her.
The couple hurriedly arrived at the health center in the town, asked which room Wu Guixiang was in, and rushed in.
"Aimin, are you back?"
"Yingzi, why didn't you say anything when you came back?"
Inside the house, the Su family looked at the panting couple, all surprised and happy. What is going on today? Two of them came home.
Wu Guixiang, who was lying on the bed, turned her head and saw the two of them. Her eyes were as wide as bells for an instant. Then she moved her eyes behind them and saw nothing. Wu Guixiang's eyes flashed with disappointment.
"Why are you two back too?"
"If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known how capable you were." Su Aimin looked at her, feeling distressed and angry, "How old are you? Why are you running up that mountain if you have nothing to do?"
He was a little impatient, and his tone of voice was not very good. Wu Guixiang would have been angry if it had been in the past, but her expression was calm today and she didn't say anything. Su Aimin just thought that she was in the wrong and couldn't say anything.
"Brother, are you okay, mother?" He turned to ask Su Aiguo.
Su Aiguo scratched his head and said, "It's nothing serious. The doctor said it's just some kind of tissue contusion?"
"Soft tissue contusion." Qin Ying reminded.
"Yes, it's a soft tissue contusion." Su Aiguo suddenly realized, "Then the tail bone is injured. The doctor said that you have to lie on the bed for a while, and if you take good care of it, it will be nothing serious."
"Did you hear that?" Su Aimin said to Wu Guixiang again, "You old man, please stop running around. Take good care of yourself at home, take good care of yourself, and don't go anywhere."
Wu Guixiang glanced at him and remained silent.
"Third brother, please stop talking." Li Xiulian couldn't stand listening anymore, "Mom, didn't she just go to the mountains because she had nothing to do and was too busy? No one wants to get hurt."
"That's not why she did it."
"For this?" Su Aimin and Qin Ying were both stunned.
"That's right." Li Xiulian sighed, "Didn't winter bamboo shoots pop up recently? Mom is thinking about Yun Yun every day and doesn't know when she will come back. Although Yu Yun basically won't come back for the Chinese New Year this year, Mom is still afraid."
"She was afraid that if Yunyun came back, what she wanted to eat would not be cooked for her, so she went up the mountain. She just wanted to dig winter bamboo shoots. It was just because Yunyun liked to eat them that she accidentally dropped them."
Li Xiulian's words made everyone in the room fall silent.
"Mom, you..." Su Aimin's nose felt sore and her expression was ashamed, "It's my fault, I shouldn't say anything to you."
Qin Ying's eyes were red, and she also looked apologetic, "Mom, we were wrong."
Wu Guixiang turned her face, not looking at them, but at the window in the house. Outside the window was the blue and distant sky.
She murmured: "What's wrong with you? It has nothing to do with you."
"I just miss my granddaughter so much."
Qin Ying turned away and couldn't help but shed tears.
