The national television station launched the Ancient Poetry Competition with great fanfare, and went to primary schools across the country to select primary school students.

Naturally, Yangcheng also has a representative team participating.

Shen Yan and the others had listened to the discussion from people around them a long time ago.

They naturally trust their own children, but the Yangcheng contestants are all fifth graders who are about to graduate, so Shen Yan and the others never thought that they would participate in the competition.

Su Jinxiu was busy with several projects, and Song Qinghua was so busy that he even forgot to tell Shen Yan about this.

So when Shen Yan heard what Song Yuxuan said, she was confused at first, and then started busy, while packing her things, she muttered: "You talk about these children, I really don't know what to say about them, Bao'er is so good at participating in the competition

Don’t tell me the big things either.”

"They didn't tell you, weren't they afraid that you would be like this? How far is it from Yangcheng to Beijing? It takes several days on the train. You are not too young, so it won't be uncomfortable to sit there." Song Yuxuan helped the old lady beside him.

Fold socks.

"Why do you feel uncomfortable? For the sake of my great-granddaughter, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

Shen Yan turned back to the cabinet and dug out the cotton-padded clothes at the bottom of the box: "I don't want to take the cotton-padded jackets back with me."

"If you want to go back for the winter, bring it with you. If you don't want to go back for the winter, don't bring it with you." Song Yuxuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat. He usually walked around outside and didn't fold socks.

"Then I won't take it with me."

Shen Yan stuffed the cotton clothes back into the box.

Song Yuxuan looked at Shen Yan's quickness and thought about the old man. His plan failed again. It was obvious that the old lady didn't care about him at all.

He sighed and went back to his room to pack his luggage.

He also bought himself a train ticket. The old Song family only had such a precious granddaughter, so he had to go and support her on the spot.

The mother and son carried their luggage and got on the train. Song Yuxuan bought a box ticket and served Shen Yan well along the way. But even so, Shen Yan still felt uncomfortable when she got off the train.

They did not go back to Hongye Mountain, but went directly to Su Jinxiu's courtyard house, not even the Song family's old house.

When Su Jinxiu received the call, she was in the middle of a meeting with people in the factory. Then she heard a call from the street office, saying, "A relative is coming home. Please come back and open the door." Then Song Yuxuan took the call.

Already.

She was also shocked when she heard that Shen Yan was back.

He hurriedly finished his memories and rode back. When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw that Shen Yan was already chatting with Aunt Fu, while Song Yuxuan looked helpless.

"grandmother."

Su Jinxiu's voice was filled with excitement.

It was okay when he was not seeing anyone. Now that he saw Shen Yan, Su Jinxiu realized that she missed this old lady.

When she came to this world, she was not close to the Su family and always seemed to be out of tune with other people. After arriving at the Song family, Shen Yan gave her too much help and too much care.

"Xiu'er is back." Shen Yan also looked excited, turned around, and walked quickly towards Su Jinxiu.

Su Jinxiu packed up her bicycle and ran over to hug Shen Yan.

The joy of reunion after a long absence infected everyone. Aunt Fu next door couldn't help but smile and said: "Auntie, I'm back. Are there any vegetables at home? I just bought some vegetables in the morning. Come and get them."

.”

"There are vegetables, there are vegetables. If there's anything missing, the market hasn't closed yet. I'll just go and buy it."

Su Jinxiu quickly waved.

Aunt Fu still smiled, took the knife and washed it in the water in the basin: "Okay, whatever you need, just come here, don't be polite to me."

"Hey, I understand, thank you, Aunt Fu."

She was beaming with joy and welcomed Shen Yan and Song Yuxuan into the door, and then hurriedly went to dry the quilt. Shen Yan sat on the wicker chair, looking at the courtyard that had changed a lot when she left.

He couldn't stop laughing: "This yard looks better than the one we played before going to Yangcheng."

"It was winter at that time. After spring, the flowers and plants were growing well, and they were naturally full of vitality."

"That's true. By the way, Ba Liang and the others don't get out of school at 4:30. I'll just go pick them up with your uncle then." Shen Yan couldn't stop thinking about her great-grandchildren.

Live itchy.

The first time we met, we were still celebrating the New Year.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, grandma."

Su Jinxiu took a broom and began to sweep the floor of Shen Yan's yard. The house was clean, so just wipe it with a rag. There were a lot of fallen leaves in the yard, so Su Jinxiu swept them clean after five divided by two.

, then went to the refrigerator and poured vegetables from the inside out.

Shen Yan sat on the wicker chair and looked at the kitchen through the window lattice.

"Your uncle has a nanny, but he doesn't. I've cooked, and I've seen many families using nannies. You're both working and taking care of your children, so why don't you find one?

Can you help me personally?"

Su Jinxiu put on an apron and started chopping vegetables: "I guess, there is usually no one at home, so it's very difficult to find someone reliable."

"It's better to know the basics."

When Shen Yan heard this, she agreed and nodded.

Song Yuxuan's two nannies, one is in charge of cleaning and the other is in charge of the kitchen. She is not staying at home all the time, so she doesn't worry about them.

"But you are too tired."

Shen Yan felt a little distressed.

When Su Jinxiu got married, she could still help take care of the children, and later there were security guards to help. Now seeing Su Jinxiu taking care of the whole family by herself, Shen Yan felt that this grandson-in-law was really working hard.

Su Jinxiu herself felt that it was okay. After all, she did not do the housework alone. Song Qinghua usually did the cooking.

Su Jinxiu's art is not very good, but she is in a state where she can eat well.

In the end, Shen Yan couldn't stand it anymore and stood by with the seasoning box. Su Jinxiu was only responsible for stir-frying. The final dish was pretty good. Song Yuxuan ate two large bowls of rice and ate in the yard after the meal.

Walking around and playing in circles.

He held his waist and listened to Su Jinxiu and Shen Yan chatting about home affairs while washing dishes.

Somehow, when talking about the fact that many people sell their houses and go abroad, Song Yuxuan sighed and shook his head: "Everyone thinks that there is gold everywhere abroad. But when you go out, you will know that foreigners look down on us Chinese people at all."

He has lived abroad for decades and has a clear understanding of discrimination abroad.

"It's too idealistic."

Su Jinxiu wrung out the rag and quickly wiped the water stains on the side of the sink: "Good words can't persuade ghosts who want to die. They will know how difficult it is when they go out on their own."

Song Yuxuan still felt it was a pity.

However, his attention was quickly diverted: "So there are also people selling houses in the capital?"

"Well, it's quite a lot."

"Then I'll go out for a walk when I have time."

Song Yuxuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

After lunch, Su Jinxiu boiled water again and helped Shen Yan take a shower. Sitting in the tub, Shen Yan sighed happily: "I can't adapt to taking a bath here in the south, even though I have to take a shower every day."

Wash it, but don’t rub it, it looks like my body is not clean.”

"Then I'll give you a good rub."

"No, I'll just lie down for a while after taking a shower. Let's go to the bathhouse to rub myself in the evening."

Su Jinxiu nodded quickly: "I'll find you someone with good skills."

"Stop working and go to work. I'll just wash it myself."

"I know, please don't bother me." Having said that, Su Jinxiu waited for Shen Yan to get out of bed before pushing her bicycle to work. Song Yuxuan went to the sub-district office to call the Beijing office.

I made a phone call and then came back to sleep.

Su Jinxiu returned to the factory, and after some thought, she called Song Qinghua.

When Song Qinghua heard that Shen Yan was back, he also decided to get off work early and not work overtime.

When Su Jinxiu got home from get off work, dinner had already been served. The northwest dishes on the table were obviously packed back from Aunt Xiuping. Now Aunt Xiuping's Qiangzi was able to stand alone and could start a private life and rent.

We opened a store to make breakfast first, and now it is a relatively famous northwest restaurant.

"You're back? Washed up and ready to eat." Song Qinghua was holding a basket with more than a dozen large steamed buns in it.

"Going to Aunt Xiuping's place to buy groceries?"

Su Jinxiu put down her bag and asked while washing it.

"Yes." Song Qinghua put down the basket and propped up the table: "Grandma likes to eat Aunt Xiuping's food."

"Where are the children?"

"Grandma is doing homework with me."

Song Qinghua walked over, put his arms around her waist and kissed her on the cheek: "I said I wanted to give Ba Liang a good review."

Shen Yan was also a talented woman back then.
