Sun Chengmin sighed, "Alright, let’s do it this way." His wife’s decision was the right one. It should be like this; everything is for the kids’ sake.
In the Capital, Su Yuanyuan also asked Chengzi to prepare the things to bring back, all of which are useful, but this ti Chengzi definitely couldn’t co along.
The five-mber family fit perfectly in one car.
Year-end wrap-up work is very busy. They have to work until midnight every day. It’s slightly better on Tan Shaoting’s side, as things can be arranged, but on Su Yuanyuan’s side, reports are required from both departnts.
The ten secretaries around them are just as busy as the leaders, but there’s no way around it; it has to be like this.
Chengzi already went to deliver New Year goods to the Zeng, Yang, and Li families. Actually, since Zeng Hongling ca over, Su Yuanyuan should have stayed in the Capital, but the vacation is too short, and it’s been many years since she saw people from her hotown, so she decided to go back.
In fact, going back just wastes so ti on the road; she won’t stay long in the village, and even finding a place to stay is a problem.
Zeng Hongling also understood Su Yuanyuan. In these years of trouble, her good friend hadn’t gone back at all. Now that her husband and child have returned, of course, she wants to go back and see her family and friends.
Yang Chunsheng knew that Yuanyuan wanted to go back, and he wanted to go too. He hadn’t seen his parents for a year and missed them greatly, but Yuanyuan was very busy there, plus their younger son was still little and had a cold recently.
In the end, he didn’t say he wanted to go back together.
Chengzi prepared a lot of snacks, at, fabric, sugar, and milk powder. Secretary Qian told him to prepare these.
The benefits for the eldest, his sister-in-law, and the three kids were also brought back. This really filled up the back of the car. There was no help for it; they had to squeeze in. Chengzi actually thought about driving two cars back, so he could co along too.
On the 26th, after work, the family sat together for dinner. Su Yuanyuan still had so expectations about going back.
People are strange—the little village doesn’t hold many fond mories for Su Yuanyuan, but it’s the place where she lived after she arrived. To put it bluntly, it’s a fledgling’s attachnt to the nest.
"Mom, are we spending New Year there?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I can’t say for sure now. We’ll see."
Qi Wen laughed, moving closer, "Mom, actually, our family can spend New Year anywhere."
Su Yuanyuan understood her daughter’s aning and nodded with a smile. Indeed, if worse cos to worst, they could enter the space. It really doesn’t matter where they are.
Chengzi watched the eldest’s family leave with an expression of lant. He had no choice but to call Hu Zi and go there.
In the dormitory, "Do you think we should settle down too?" Hu Zi asked leisurely.
People look forward to New Year and holidays. Only people like them—having nothing, no ho, no wife or kids—it’s the loneliest during the holidays.
"I haven’t thought about it. And you? Any thoughts?"
Hu Zi snorted a laugh, "What thoughts? Even if I settle down, I’d be away all the ti, wouldn’t that be harming soone?
I’m just thinking about it; really, I can’t do sothing so conscienceless."
"Doesn’t Zhang Chunsheng think about it either?"
"Yeah, Leader Zeng scolds him about this every ti. But he always grins foolishly and brushes it off."
"That guy used to have improper thoughts about the sister-in-law, but now that the eldest has returned, he must have completely given up, right?"
"He should have given up long ago. Don’t you know how the sister-in-law feels about him? He’s not a fool.
But I think he just can’t fancy anyone else after the sister-in-law set the standard so high before him.
But this doesn’t concern us. In a way, it’s quite good—leaders as bachelors leading a group of bachelors."
Chengzi laughed heartily at Hu Zi’s words. "Hmm, what you said is very true. But I can’t do that; the sister-in-law has been paving the way for , and when she has the mind to think about it, I won’t be far from settling down."
"You’re really cunning, getting close to the sister-in-law at the right ti. We didn’t think of it."
Chengzi just laughed. It was because he knew about Zhang Chunsheng’s betrayal of the sister-in-law that he made the decision.
"Chengzi, has the sister-in-law regained her mory?"
"Yes, although she didn’t say it, she’s different with the eldest."
"The eldest hasn’t regained his mory. He’s treating us differently from before."
"What’s crucial is that they ca back."
"Yes, I’m really unsatisfied. Even without regaining mory, almost six years have passed, and things would change.
In the future, it’ll be Qi Yan and the others’ world. The eldest and the sister-in-law’s son is different. I asked Daqing, their missions are all classified as top-level or special-level."
"Isn’t that normal? They’re the eldest and the sister-in-law’s children.
Seeing Qi Yan and the others makes want to settle down, to have my own kids, too.
But then, thinking about my own conditions, I think it’s better to forget it. In the end, if it turns out to be nothing, I’d be disappointed and angrier."
"Isn’t that true? Forget about it, just go with the flow."
The two bachelors chatted endlessly until the middle of the night before they fell asleep.
Tan Shaoting and his family drove very fast. Everyone knew how to drive.
The father and sons just followed the wishes of their wife and mom.
She had been lonely enough in these years, besides, where they are doesn’t really matter to them.
Qi Wen was talking to her mom about the situation during their missions.
"So foreign friends need a lawyer. Do you want to go?"
They had considered this matter for several days and didn’t want them to go out, but they also knew they couldn’t restrain their growth.
"Big brother should go. The two of us will continue missions. What lawsuit would require all three of us?" Qi Hong said with a smile.
Qi Wen agreed, "Let big brother go and see. We have our own things to do."
Yes, everyone knew as they got older, splitting up was inevitable.
Qi Yan had no objections. He was okay with anything, going outside or going on missions. But he still expressed his thoughts.
"Actually, I think Qi Wen should go." After all, missions are dangerous.
"I can go too. I’m fine with anything. Let’s ask about the lawsuit when we get back and then decide."
Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t be involved. Whichever child goes is the sa to them, they worry about all of them.
"Mom, can we reach there tomorrow in daylight? Are we staying in the village?"
"We probably will. If not, we’ll stay in a hotel." Su Yuanyuan knew the kids wouldn’t be used to it.
"Mom, why don’t you build a house in the village, so there’s a place to stay when we co back?"
"There’s no need. How many tis can we co back? It’s just because of your accident, my mory loss, that we didn’t et for so many years."
