Originally, Wang Qiuping wanted to say a few more words to Xia Songlan, but the attitude of those young people was extremely impatient and they kept urging him.

Xia Songlan grabbed Wang Qiuping's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You and my dad should also take good care of your health."

Wang Qiuping patted Xia Songlan's hand and left with the group of people together with Ning Shenghe without saying anything else.

Not long after they left, Aunt Mei came trotting in, "Songlan, hurry up and pack your things, they will be here to collect the house soon."

Xia Songlan had never experienced this before, and what was happening now was not mentioned at all in the original book. She was at a loss for a moment.

Fortunately, Aunt Mei was experienced and quickly rushed into Wang Qiuping's room to help her pack up.

While urging Xia Songlan: "Don't stop, pack up your and Jing Mo's things quickly and take away everything that can be taken away."

Xia Songlan quickly responded and ran upstairs.

She only brought one box and hadn't had time to take out the contents yet.

There was nothing in Ning Jingmo's room except a few military uniforms in the closet.

In the drawer of the desk, there were only two pens and some blank writing paper.

But there were two photos under the glass plate of the desk, one of which was a photo of Ning Jingmo and Xia Songlan when they were children.

In the photo, Xia Songlan still had pigtails and was wearing a small floral skirt. She looked to be about three years old.

The other photo should be taken when Ning Jingmo just joined the army. Ning Jingmo in the photo looked very young.

Xia Songlan lifted the glass plate with force, pulled out two photos from inside, folded them together with Ning Jingmo's clothes, and put them in her box.

Looking at the bedding she slept on yesterday, she thought of the sheets she had hastily put away.

She hurriedly folded all these things and put them in a clean bed sheet.

By the time Xia Songlan came down from upstairs, Aunt Mei had already quickly packed up.

Unfortunately, after packing for a long time, two boxes were still full, and the boxes only contained some clothes that Ning Shenghe and Wang Qiuping did not take with them when they left.

Aunt Mei sighed, "Lao Ning and Qiu Ping have worked all their lives, and this is all they have. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."

She wiped away her tears and pulled Xia Songlan again, "Songlan, Auntie knows you are sad, and when your mother passed away, she specifically asked me to take care of you in the future.

Don't worry, you can go back to your parents' home today, and come to your aunt if you have any problems in the future. I will definitely do whatever I can."

Xia Songlan nodded and asked, "Aunt Mei, do you know which farm my parents went to? Can I go visit them?"

Aunt Mei shook her head and said, "What happened today happened too suddenly and caught everyone off guard.

If I hadn't happened to meet Qiu Ping on the way, I wouldn't have known about this so early.

Go home and wait for the news. I will go and find out in the next few days and tell you when there is news."

Just as she was about to continue speaking, several people in military uniforms walked in.

When she saw Aunt Mei, she greeted her politely.

Aunt Mei opened the three boxes on the ground and the quilt wrapped by Xia Songlan and let them check.

Several people checked carefully and found nothing unusual. One of the female comrades signaled Xia Songlan to put the things away.

She said to Aunt Mei shyly, "Sister Mei, I'm really sorry, this is a job requirement.

Please leave immediately with this lady, we are going to take inventory of the house."

Aunt Mei nodded, knowing that they were also acting on orders. She was not angry, and she and Xia Songlan took the things and walked out of the Ning family's courtyard together.

Xia Songlan stood at the door, looking back at the courtyard where she had only stayed for one night but had left a deep impression on her.

He stayed there for a few seconds before following Aunt Mei and leaving.

Aunt Mei led Xia Songlan out of the compound quickly, asked her to wait at the gate, and went back.

Not long after, two young men in plain clothes came out riding a three-wheeled flatbed cart.

Aunt Mei asked the two of them to help Xia Songlan load all the luggage into the car.

Then she held Xia Songlan's hand, reluctant to let her go, "Songlan, good girl, it's not convenient for Auntie to go back with you, so let them take you back.

Don't be sad, your aunt is here.

Besides, there is Jing Mo. He left on a mission this time in a hurry and doesn't know about your parents' situation yet. I will find a way when he comes back."

Xia Songlan nodded, said nothing more, thanked Aunt Mei, and followed the two men back to No. 6 Courtyard of Jinger Hutong.

Now is the time to make lunch.

Grandma Zhang and Grandma Liu were picking vegetables and chatting beside the water pipe.

People who work and go to school in the hospital also come back one after another.

Xia Songlan's sudden return surprised everyone.

Uncle Wang was just getting off work and was about to push his cart into the yard. He asked hurriedly, "Song Lan, why are you back today? Aren't you going to come back tomorrow?"

He looked behind Xia Songlan again, only to see two unfamiliar young men, but not Ning Jingmo. "Where's Jingmo? Didn't he come back with you?"

Xia Songlan responded, "Jing Mo went out on a mission early in the morning."

Grandma Liu and Grandma Zhang also came out and kept looking at the luggage on the tricycle.

Grandma Liu said disapprovingly: "Oh, Songlan, you are really young and don't know the rules. Tomorrow is the day to return to your parents' home.

Why did you come back today? Your mother-in-law won't blame you, right? "

Xia Songlan really didn't know when to return home, but the matter was urgent and there was nothing she could do.

I could only explain: "My family members have gone out to perform missions, and I am the only one left at home.

My mother-in-law was worried, so she asked me to go back to my parents’ home to live first.”

Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "It's a new society now. That doesn't apply anymore. You can go back anytime.

Since your mother-in-law asked you to come back, it’s right for you to come back. Your grandma misses you so much that she cried yesterday.

Fortunately, Chuanbai was at home with her, otherwise the old lady would be very sad. "

Ning Jingmo and Xia Songlan originally wanted to invite grandma to attend the wedding yesterday.

But grandma refused because she was afraid that her identity would affect them.

Xia Chuanbai didn't realize he had been tricked until yesterday.

Although he was angry, he still took the initiative to stay at home with his grandmother and did not attend Xia Songlan's wedding ceremony.

When Xia Songlan heard that her grandmother was crying, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

At this time, everyone was busy helping her deliver the three boxes and the bundle to her doorstep.

Xia Songlan thanked everyone and wanted to invite the two young men to her house for a drink of water, but the two men left directly without staying.

Xia Songlan opened the door of her home. Although she had only been away for one day, it felt like a lifetime ago.

The door opened in response, and grandma was still sitting in the rattan chair by the fire, but her expression was dull, and the sudden opening of the door did not attract her attention.

Xia Songlan called out softly, "Grandma...Grandma."

"Hmm~" Grandma turned around to look for someone, and suddenly found Xia Songlan. She stood up in panic, "Songlan, why are you back?"

Xia Songlan took two quick steps and came to her grandmother's side, "Grandma, Jing Mo left on a mission early this morning.

His parents also had an urgent mission and went on a long trip. When they left, they specifically asked me to come home to accompany you, so I came back."

She spoke calmly with a smile on her face.

But grandma didn't believe it at all and stared at her, "Are you lying to me? Is there something wrong at home?"
