Holding hands and looking at each other

When we got up in the morning, the three of us were sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

Susie noticed that Qiao Yan was radiant today, her hair was combed smoothly, and the shirt on her body looked new, white and crisp. Susie suspected that Qiao Yan was locked in the bedroom ironing clothes last night.

Qiao Mu obviously also noticed the difference in Qiao Yan today. He and Su Qian exchanged a look, and the two of them smiled tacitly.

After breakfast, a few people took their luggage and got in the car to go to Shenzhen.

Shencheng will be the main focus of Qiao Yan's work in the future. He will definitely live in Shencheng longer than Yangcheng. However, the housing conditions in Shencheng are poor, so Qiao Yan only brought some recently read books and clothes.

It is more than 100 kilometers from Yangcheng to Shenzhen. There is no expressway now, and the road conditions are not good. The maximum speed can only be 60 to 70 yards, and many can only run 40 to 50 yards.

Qiao Yan also considered these issues and set off at 6:30, not only to meet Yun Ruolan as early as possible. Shenzhen Special Economic Zone had just been established and there were so many tasks to be done. Qiao Yan didn't want to waste time.

Drivers don't dare to drive fast on the road. When driving for a leader, the most important thing is to be "stable".

We arrived in Shenzhen at ten o'clock.

There are not even a few decent streets in Shenzhen today. The car drove to the train station and everyone got out of the car. Susie took a look and saw that the station was no better than the train station in Sibei County.

There are very few passengers on the passenger train from Gangcheng to Yangcheng. There is only one train from Gangcheng in the morning every day and then back in the afternoon.

The departure time is fixed. Susie took the train several times and knew that the train would pass through Shencheng around 10:30.

Su Qian and Qiao Mu were waiting at the exit of the station, while Qiao Yan looked around and walked over to chat with people passing by.

Su Qian knew that Qiao Yan was definitely not idle, but was learning about people's livelihood.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the train finally arrived at the station.

Qiao Yan also quickly ended the chat, walked over and stood next to Qiao Mu, looking into the station.

For a while, no one was seen in the passage.

Qiao Yan, who had always been calm, suddenly became a little anxious, and his mind began to have random thoughts, maybe Yun Ruolan didn't get on the train at all today.

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure appeared at the corner of the passage.

Wearing a light lotus-colored skirt and a slender figure, Qiao Yan looked at this figure, his breathing became rapid and his heart beat faster and faster.

Su Qian waved from the side, "Aunt Yun——"

Yun Ruolan had also seen a few people. Her eyes lingered on Qiao Yan for a moment, and she quickly moved away as if she was burned. Then she deliberately stopped looking there and smiled gently at Su Qian.

There is an iron railing at the exit of the station, and several people are standing outside the railing.

Qiao Mu walked around the railing to greet him and took the suitcase from Yun Ruolan's hand.

Su Qian turned around and saw Qiao Yan's eyes filled with tears. He stepped forward excitedly and held Yun Ruolan's hand.

Susie poked the tree with her elbow, smiled, and walked forward quickly.

Qiao Mu put his luggage in the car on the roadside and got in the car with Susie.

Susie opened the car window and looked out quietly. Qiao Mu came over, put his head on Susie's shoulder and looked out.

Qiao Yan was holding Yun Ruolan's hand and said softly: "Ruolan, you are still as beautiful as when I first saw you, but I am already old."

He is more than ten years older than Yun Ruolan. He is almost sixty, while Yun Ruolan is only in her forties. She looks young and beautiful.

Yun Ruolan's tears couldn't stop flowing down. The Qiao Yan in front of her had gray hair and deep wrinkles on the corners of his forehead and eyes. When she left, he was still an elegant middle-aged man, but now he is a down-to-earth man.

He's an old man.

I don’t know how he survived alone for more than ten years.

Yun Ruolan smiled softly with tears in her eyes: "Jing will coax me, I am getting old and I am no longer the little girl I used to be."

She looked at Qiao Yan tenderly, "It would be nice for us to grow old together."

Qiao Yan's hand trembled slightly. He hadn't seen her for more than ten years. He had countless things to say to Yun Ruolan. He squeezed Yun Ruolan's hand tightly and said, "Let's go home first."

Susie's eyes were a little moist when she saw it. She remembered that sentence and held her hands to look at her tearful eyes. This scene was exactly the same.

Seeing Qiao Yan and Yun Ruolan coming this way, she quickly poked Qiao Mu and said, "You sit in the front passenger seat."

Qiao Mu got out of the car and opened the door, "Mom and Dad, please sit in the back."

Yun Ruolan looked at Qiao Mu, the smile on her face became gentler.

After getting in the car, Yun Ruolan smiled and said to Su Qian: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you very busy recently?"

Susie nodded, "I'm a little busy. In addition to the jewelry store, there is also a newly opened luggage company. I am mainly busy with this recently."

Yun Ruolan touched her hand lovingly, "You are so capable."

"Recently, those colleagues in the industry have become extremely jealous of you, saying that your jewelry store has the best business in the entire Hong Kong city."

She turned around and looked at Susie with a smile, "If you weren't my daughter-in-law, I couldn't help but be jealous of you."

"I don't know how smart you are, there are always so many new styles in the store that I have never seen before."

Susie just laughed.

A few people were chatting relaxedly in the car, and the car drove towards the municipal committee.

The municipal party committee was the former county party committee. When the car drove in through the gate, the old man in the reception room came out and took a look. When he saw the license plate number, he quickly returned to the reception room to make a call.

Not far after the car entered, Qiao Yan's secretary Xiao Chen was waiting on the side of the road. The driver stopped the car and opened the window. Xiao Chen pointed forward, "Director Qiao's residence is over there. I will take you there."

Xiao Chen trotted in front, and the driver followed behind.

When we turned to a bungalow at the back, Xiao Chen signaled his arrival.

The car stopped, and Qiao Yan apologized to Yun Ruolan: "The conditions here are a bit difficult, right now-"

Before she could finish her words, Yun Ruolan interrupted her gently, "It doesn't matter, this house is pretty good. It's not like I haven't lived in a worse place."

Qiao Mu got off the car and moved the luggage with Xiao Chen and the driver. Yun Ruolan took Su Qian's arm and went inside first.

There was an aunt standing at the door smiling nervously at the two of them. She wanted to call her but didn't know how.

Susie smiled at her and entered the house to look around. Although the house was an old-fashioned bungalow, it was quite large.

In the middle is the main room, with two rooms on the left and right.

There is a wooden floor on the ground floor inside the house. This wooden floor is different from the wooden floors of later generations. It is just a piece of wooden board laid on the ground, which is very flexible when you walk on it.

The door was an old-fashioned carved door, and Susie felt that this might be a house left by a wealthy landowner in the past.

The house is fully furnished, and even the pillows and sheets on the bed are laid out. You can move in with your bags as standard.

Qiao Yan explained something to Xiao Chen outside. Xiao Chen nodded and left.

Qiao Yan walked in, and his aunt quickly introduced herself to him, "Director Qiao, I am sent by the organization to take care of your life. My surname is Ma, Ma Chunmei."
