Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 231 Reunion Dinner

When He Xiao heard this, he ran outside and soon bought 6 more bottles from the nearby supply and marketing cooperative. Jiang Feng and He Daqing had already drunk 3 glasses, and He Yushui also got a glass of wine and was drinking it slowly.

Jiang Feng saw He Xiao holding a few bottles of soda, and took out 1 yuan from his pocket, smiling and saying, "Well, you are better than Brother Zhuzi, you still have a little money in your hand. Your father didn't have any money in his pocket at that time. Come on, a man can't be without money in his pocket, your uncle will make up for it for you."

"You make it sound like you had the same thing back then, and it still jingled just as well." He Yuzhu came out with a large bowl of chicken soup and retorted. He Xiao also came over and took the money.

Li Xiaoyan quickly stood up, moved the dishes on the table around, and stepped aside to let He Yuzhu put the chicken soup on the table. He Yuzhu sat down next to Li Xiaoyan and said, "All the dishes are ready, let's eat."

"It's different. My uncle used to give me some pocket money from time to time, even if I didn't ask him for it. At that time, he gave me thousands of dollars."

"What thousands? Don't listen to Xiaofeng. It's just a few cents, just pocket money for a child." He Daqing interrupted.

"Dad, why don't I have any?" He Yushui asked with his head tilted. He had drunk some wine and his face was red. Now he was drinking soda.

He Daqing glanced at her and said, "Why do you need so little money? Don't think I don't know that you spend all the pocket money your cousin has. How dare you say that?"

Jiang Feng looked at He Yushui and laughed. He Yuzhu picked up the wine glass and said quickly, "Okay, okay, now everything is fine. Life is better now. Dad is back today. Our family is reunited. Things will get better and better in the future. Cheers, everyone."

Everyone at the table raised their wine and soda, and shouted "Cheers". The family was having a great time. Despite He Yuzhu's insistence, Zhao Xuelin still went to get Jiang Feng's stored wine. He Yuzhu opened another bottle, and the three of them drank it slowly.

He Daqing also mentioned that Jiang Feng was going on a business trip. He Yuzhu also said that He Xiao should move back to sleep. He Daqing would sleep in the ear room and live in the yard temporarily. When Jiang Feng comes back, he will move to the yard over there. There is spacious space over there. Now his main task is to stay in the yard and look after the children.

He Daqing naturally knew about it, but he also told him what he had said to his senior brother last time. He Yuzhu didn't have any objections, but said to take it slow. Now that he is at work, he can take some time off on weekends to take the kids over. When Jiang Feng comes back, he will have more time.

He Daqing nodded. Jiang Feng thought this was fine as long as there was someone watching in the yard. He brought his uncle back just for this matter. It was okay for the adults, but the children could not be left unattended. Jiang Feng was worried if he didn't make proper arrangements for them since they had been away for such a long time.

When everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, Li Xiaoyan and Zhao Xuelin came forward to clean up. He Yushui lay there dizzy. He didn't get enough rest today and insisted on drinking some wine at night. He Yuzhu said, "Dad, I will go to sleep in He Xiao's room with you. Let Yushui sleep with Yan Zi, and He Xiao come over to be with mom."

Looking at He Yuzhu's arrangement, Jiang Feng said nothing: "Just make do with it tonight. When I leave, let He Xiao sleep over there. There are bunk beds over there."

He Daqing's eyes were narrowed at this time. Jiang Feng continued, "Okay, everyone should rest early. You are tired from riding in the car today. Uncle is going to sleep."

Several people also noticed it. Li Xiaoyan hurried to He Xiao's room to clean up. He Yuzhu also went there to take out He Xiao's things. Jiang Feng carried the cradle and went to the front yard with Zhao Xuelin and Jiang Shiyan. They cleaned up the rest by themselves.

After returning to the house, Zhao Xuelin said, "You wash Shishi first, I'll go over and take a look. She's still dizzy from the rain, I'll help my sister-in-law get her in."

Jiang Feng nodded and muttered, "Why drink if you don't have a good alcohol tolerance? You still have to serve her at this age."

Zhao Xuelin slapped Jiang Feng twice and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Then don't give her drinks at night. She is happy too. What do you know?"

"Yes, yes, my wife is right. Go quickly, throw it on the bed and come back quickly. Go to bed early at night."

Zhao Xuelin rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng, went out and went back to the Central Courtyard. Jiang Feng was looking after Shishi and Weiguo at home, and quickly fetched water to wash the two children first. When Zhao Xuelin came back, Jiang Weiguo was crawling on the bed, Jiang Shiyan was watching on the side, and Jiang Feng also went to take a shower.

After finally coaxing the two little ones to sleep, Jiang Feng hurriedly pulled Zhao Xuelin into bed. Knowing they were going out, it had been a crazy night. Jiang Feng also said that if they didn't leave tomorrow, they would have to leave the day after tomorrow, depending on how the higher-ups arranged it.

Only then did Zhao Xuelin show a look of reluctance. The two had never been separated since they got married, and she didn't know if she could get used to being alone at home.

The next day, Jiang Feng went to work at the factory. He first reported to Director Li, then called the director and told him that all matters at home had been arranged and he could leave.

The minister had anticipated this and had already bought the train tickets. The train was at 10 o'clock tonight, so he had to go back quickly to pack his things, as he knew someone would pick him up wherever he went.

Jiang Feng hung up the phone and called Minister Wang again. The two argued on the phone for a long time, talking about the time of the bus and the train number. Jiang Feng hung up the phone and talked to Director Li for a while. He also asked Director Li to help look after the He siblings. Director Li readily agreed that as long as they didn't cause trouble, he would protect them in the factory.

Jiang Feng sat in Director Li's office for a while, then went out to the cafeteria and told He Yuzhu that he would send food there in the evening. He Yuzhu said carelessly, "Don't worry, I will take care of the family. Dad is back now. You will eat at my place starting tomorrow, so don't cook at home."

Jiang Feng thought about it and nodded. He just needed to take some food and money with him. He went to the Personnel Department again and told He Yushui that He Yushui had come to the factory to work early this morning and would definitely have to go home today. If he didn't tell him, he would not see him tomorrow.

I went back to my office, thought about it and realized there was nothing else to do, so I called Engineer Li over and gave him some instructions. He said he would not come in the afternoon and would leave in the evening. He would call me when he arrived there so we could contact each other if there was anything.

Li Gong also patted his chest and promised that he would keep an eye on the people below. Jiang Feng nodded and went out to ride his bike back to the courtyard. Zhao Xuelin was washing clothes at home. Jiang Feng said, "The time is set. Don't wash the car tonight. Find some time to go back home and tell your parents."

When Zhao Xuelin heard that they were leaving at night, tears started to flow. They kept talking about leaving, but there was no movement. She wondered how many days were left. Jiang Feng stepped forward to coax her and said, "Okay, don't cry. Go to your parents' place in the morning and send the little one to your sister-in-law to take care of him. The train is at 10 o'clock in the evening. I will go to the station after dinner."

Zhao Xuelin hugged Jiang Feng tightly, and Jiang Feng also stroked Zhao Xuelin's back gently. After waiting for a while, Zhao Xuelin let go of her hand, wiped her tears, and said to Jiang Feng: "You send Weiguo over. I will finish washing the clothes first. It's almost done. I'll leave when I'm done."

Jiang Feng nodded, then picked up the cradle again, and went to the middle courtyard to say hello to his uncle and sister-in-law, telling Shishi not to run around, to have lunch at her cousin's house at noon, and that her father and mother would be back soon.

After returning to the front yard, Jiang Feng washed and hung the clothes with Zhao Xuelin. Then he took Zhao Xuelin to his father-in-law's house on his bike. When they got there, Jiang Feng asked all kinds of questions. Jiang Feng also told Zhao Yong that he was going on a business trip and asked him to go to the yard when he was free. He didn't need to go on weekends, but could go after work on weekdays.

The old couple also agreed readily, saying that they only needed to visit once every two days. There were also people in the yard to help look after the children, but it would also be good for someone from the mother's family to visit from time to time.

They didn't eat there at noon, but ate at He Yuzhu's house. They coaxed the two little ones to sleep at noon, and they went to rest. In the afternoon, they were woken up by Shishi. Someone from the factory sent something and found their home.

Zhao Xuelin's face flushed, but Jiang Feng looked calm. He took the things and looked at them. They were the train tickets and the letter of introduction, even the business trip allowance. Jiang Feng handed a cigarette to the visitor, put the things in his pocket, sent the visitor to the door and came back.

He took Jiang Shiyan to the middle courtyard. He Daqing came back yesterday. Everyone in the courtyard knew about it today, and they also knew that he would not leave in the future.

He Daqing also walked around the front, middle and back yards. He also heard about the current situation in the yard yesterday. He knew that things had changed a lot now. Liu Haizhong had lost his ambition, Yi Zhonghai had married Qin Huairu, and Yan Fugui had not changed much.

I even went to see the deaf old lady. She seemed to be unable to recognize people and said that she really couldn't hear anymore. She even wanted Li Ming's wife to speak loudly in her ear. This was really the case.

He Daqing took a look and estimated that it would be difficult to survive the winter this year. However, he didn't say anything. He just said a few words to take care of himself, and then went out and returned to the house.

He Daqing cooks at noon and at night. He drives his daughter-in-law and nephew's wife out and tells them to just take care of the kids. He Daqing will take care of the cooking.

After dinner, they sat together and chatted again. Jiang Feng also saw that He Yuzhu's house was indeed not big enough, so he said to He Yuzhu, "I'm leaving soon. Let He Xiao go over there. Make up Shishi's bed. Let He Xiao sleep on the bunk bed. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for him to sleep in your room every day."

He Yuzhu thought about it and it made sense. It was only a few months anyway, so he just had to wait for Jiang Feng to come back. Then his dad could move to the yard over there. This place was closer to the factory, otherwise He Yuzhu would have wanted to move there.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Jiang Feng pulled Zhao Xuelin back to the house to pack up, while Li Xiaoyan packed up He Xiao's things. They agreed that from now on He Yuzhu would go to collect Jiang Feng's salary every month, and the rations and other things would be kept at He's house. Zhao Xuelin would not have to cook and could just come over to eat every day.

Zhao Xuelin insisted on giving some money. The food rations alone were not enough. He Yuzhu and Li Xiaoyan refused to accept it. Just bring the food rations. Finally, He Daqing said, "Okay, just take the food rations. I'll take care of the rest. If you eat more, wait until Xiaofeng comes back. Let's go and pack up."
