After coming out of the office, Ruan Zhonghua accompanied them to the train station to pick up their luggage.

Previously, Su Qian and Qiao Mu planned to visit Professor Zhong, have lunch with Ruan Zhonghua and then leave by train. Now they have to leave tomorrow.

After picking up their luggage, Susie and Qiao Mu stayed at the school guest house.

Ruan Zhonghua chatted with her for a while. Seeing that Su Qian was tired, he said: "Then I will go back to the dormitory. I will accompany you to have breakfast tomorrow morning."

Susie handed him a bag and said, "I brought something for you."

Inside is a Parker pen and some food.

Ruan Zhonghua thanked him with a smile and then left.

The next day, several people had breakfast and returned to the guest house. Not long after, the waiter led a man to find their room.

The man came in and looked at Ruan Zhonghua and Qiao Mu, "Excuse me, who is Comrade Qiao Mu?"

Qiao Mu nodded to him, "I am."

The man said respectfully: "Where is the box you need to send to the airport? We are responsible for delivering it to you."

Qiao Mu said: "It's nearby, I'll take you there."

When several people came out of the guest house, they saw a truck parked outside and several soldiers standing beside the truck.

Arriving at the door of Professor Zhong's house, they quickly loaded the box onto the truck.

The leading man said: "We will deliver your things safely to the airport, please don't worry."

Qiao Mu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

After the truck drove away, Susie took another look at the neatly tidied house, locked the door, and handed the key to Professor Yuan.

After returning to the guest house and picking up their luggage, Susie and Qiao Mu prepared to take the train back to Sibei County.

Ruan Zhonghua insisted on seeing them off, so he picked up a suitcase, squeezed into the bus, and took Su Qian and Qiao Mu to the station.

It only takes more than two hours to get to Sibei County from the provincial capital, and short-distance tickets are easy to buy. Qiao Mu bought two station tickets and got on the bus with Su Qian.

It was past one o'clock when they arrived in Sibei County. They were both hungry. They each had a bowl of noodles at Sibei Hotel, and Qiao Mu also added two steamed buns.

After dinner, we took a ride back to the Yangjiao Production Team.

After a lot of fussing, we finally arrived home around four in the afternoon.

Qiao Mu was not in a hurry to go to the collective household and sent Su Qian to the door of her house first.

Old Mrs. Jiang was peeling beans under the shade of a tree in the yard.

Some of the fast-growing beans have become red and old, so peel off the outer skin and leave the beans to be fried and eaten.

The old lady suddenly saw two figures appearing in the yard. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Susie. She was so happy that she threw the beans in her hand and shouted to the back of the house, "Old man, Sissi is back!"

He walked towards Susie on his little feet.

Susie hurried forward, and the old lady hugged her, "If you don't come back, I'll miss grandma to death."

Old man Xu was pulling weeds in the vegetable garden. Weeds grow quickly in summer and must be pulled frequently.

Hearing the old lady's shout, old man Xu ran forward.

I ran to the front yard and saw the old lady holding Susie's hand wiping her tears, and old man Xu standing next to her with a silly smile.

The old lady reacted: "Quick, get in the house quickly, you will get burned if you stand under the hot sun."

She pulled Susie into the house, and Qiao Mu followed with two boxes.

Old man Xu poured a glass of cold water and handed it to Qiao Mu.

The old lady looked at Qiao Mu and then at Susie, her eyes full of questions.

Susie nodded towards the old lady and gave her a look of affirmation, and the old lady smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't even see her eyes.

"Qiao Mu, did you come back with Sissi specially?"

"Well, how about you stay at home?"

Qiao Mu quickly shook his head, "Grandma, I'd better live in a collective household."

I have lived in this home for more than half a year. Although I could never see Susie at home, I was not free under the eyes of the two old people.

Living in a collective household, it is also convenient to go to the back mountain with Su Qian.

The old lady didn't force her to stay. It was somewhat inappropriate for Qiao Mu to live at home.

"In that case, you can eat at home from now on. Life at home is better than in the collective household."

Qiao Mu glanced at Susie and nodded in agreement, "Grandma, I'll put the things over and come back later for dinner."

The old lady smiled and said, "That's right. We are all a family. We don't want to see grandma outside anymore."

Qiao Mu took the bag and left.

The old lady looked at Susie, "Have you told your father about the matter with Qiao Mu?"

Susie was a little embarrassed, "I told you."

"His family also knows about it."

The old lady said: "His father didn't say what kind of high official he was, so his father didn't object?"

Susie said: "No, his father and mother are very good to me."

The old lady was filled with joy and said, "That's good. The wedding will be arranged in a year or two. Grandma is in good health now and can help you take care of the children."

Su Qian said angrily: "Grandma——"

The old lady laughed to herself for a while, "You have a rest, grandma will cook for you."

She called Old Man Xu, "Hurry up and ask someone to fish for a fish in Liuxian Lake. It's too late today. It's too late to kill the chicken. I'll just eat the fish today."

Old man Xu agreed and went to Liuxian Lake to fish for fish.

Susie wanted to help the old lady with something, but she was held down and said, "Just rest, you are of no use for this little thing."

Susie washed her face, put on some sunscreen, then sat under the tree and continued to peel beans and rice.

Old man Xu went there for more than half an hour before he came back with a big fish, and then he cut the fish open at the door of the kitchen.

Qiao Mu also came over from the collective household not long after, went into the kitchen to see that there was not much water in the water tank, and left carrying a bucket of water.

The old lady looked at Qiao Mu's back and felt extremely comfortable.

He said to old man Xu, "I really like this kid."

"Look, his father is a high-ranking official, and he is still a college student. When he comes to our house, he helps with things without saying a word. This shows that he takes our Sissy very seriously."

Old man Xu chuckled, "When I wasn't married to you, I went to your house and helped you with things."

The old lady gave him a look that was funny and said, "You are still saying this at such an age."

While chatting with old man Xu, the old lady fried the fish and steamed an egg custard, and then asked Qiao Mu and Su Qian to eat.

The rice is white rice. In addition to fish and egg custard, there is also a bowl of fried beans, rice and cucumber.

Susie liked to eat beans and rice. Qiao Mu watched her pick up each bean with her chopsticks, so she stood up, took a spoon, and scooped a spoonful of it into the bowl for her.

After dinner, Susie and Qiao Mu washed the dishes.

After washing the dishes, Susie took out a bag from the room and said, "Grandma, Qiao Mu and I will go to the collective household to have a look."

The old lady said: "Go, go."

Qiao Mu took Susie's bag, and the two of them went to the collective home together.

The villagers they met on the road greeted the two of them very warmly.

Now everyone in the entire production team knows that Su Qian is attending college in Hong Kong City. Su Qian's status in their hearts is already higher than that of the production captain Xu Changgui, and almost as high as the Xu family's son-in-law, Deputy Director of the Revolutionary Committee Han Bomin.

Susie smiled kindly at everyone along the way, and when she met children or teenagers, she took out a few candies from the bag and handed them to them.
