As the end of the year approaches, Chen Liyuan is extremely busy with various accounts being compiled.
I had just finished making a detailed list and was about to take a break and straighten my back. The phone at the table suddenly rang. I quickly reached out to pick it up: "Hello, this is the finance office."
Hearing her slightly tired voice, Chen Lishu swallowed back all the words she originally wanted to say: "Still busy?"
Gu Xingdong on the side breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, as long as the thing Lin Qi asked him to do was not messed up.
"Sister?" Hearing Chen Lishu's voice, Chen Liyuan immediately complained aggrievedly: "I have been very busy recently. Apart from eating lunch, I haven't moved anywhere yet. Otherwise, I would have gone to see my nephew a week ago.
I haven’t seen them anymore, I miss them so much.”
Chen Lishu suddenly felt distressed and said: "You should be busy and rest when you should. Your brother-in-law has booked a ticket to go home for tomorrow. You can come over for dinner in the evening. After dinner, I will ask him to drive you back to the work."
"Are you leaving tomorrow? That's fine. I'll go there when I get off work."
Not long after, Chen Lishu hung up the phone.
Gu Xingdong: "I think Lin Qi is a good kid."
Chen Lishu nodded: "Lin Qi is indeed very good. Only those who have endured hardship will know how to cherish life better. I'm just a little angry with Liyuan... Forget it, it doesn't matter if we talk or not now, as long as the two of us have a good relationship."
Because Chen Liyuan was coming over, the dinner was quite sumptuous, with a total of four dishes and one soup.
"I heard your brother-in-law said that Lin Qi wants to visit during the Chinese New Year?"
After dinner, the two sisters went to the study to chat for a while alone.
Chen Liyuan was a little embarrassed: "Sister, do you know everything?"
"I'm your sister. Is there anything I can hide from my virginity?"
"We haven't been together for long, so who knows what it will be like in the future, but he insists on wanting to go home and meet his elders."
Chen Lishu smiled: "That's because he values you. Lin Qi is a nice person. If you want to be friends with someone, just have a good conversation."
Chen Liyuan nodded: "Yes."
The two sisters chatted for a few more words, and Chen Liyuan went to hug the two little ones again before Gu Xingdong sent her back to the unit.
Early the next morning, after giving Zhao Qiuyue a few words, the family took the car to the train station.
It was freezing cold outside, and the two children were wrapped tightly. They didn't open the bags until they entered the carriage and sat down.
The two little guys have not been out since they were born. This is the first time.
The two children were not afraid of the strange environment and strange people that suddenly appeared in front of them. On the contrary, they turned their little heads and looked around very curiously.
The children didn't cry or make trouble, and the adults were relieved a lot. The day passed by in a flash, and when Chen Lishu and others got off the bus, they suddenly heard someone calling them outside the platform.
"Mom, third brother and third sister-in-law——"
When Gu Xingye saw several people looking over, he immediately raised his arms and waved. When everyone came closer, he hurriedly reached out to take the luggage from Li Xiulan's hand.
"Fourth brother, why are you here?"
Gu Xingye grinned: "Not only me, but dad is also here. He was so happy when he heard that you were coming back. He said that the two little ones couldn't bear the cold, so they drove here specially. My sister-in-law also prepared two bags in the car.
Quilt, let’s go quickly.”
Soon everyone left the train station and saw Gu Shoufu standing beside the carriage. It was too cold, so he put his hands in his sleeves. When he saw a few people coming out, he immediately came over to greet them.
"How's it going? Did the two kids make a fuss while riding in the car?"
Ruirui raised his head and said, "Grandpa, my brothers and sisters are obedient and didn't cry at all. I even played games with them. They laughed so happily."
"Good boy." Gu Shoufu raised his hand and patted the little head wearing a hat, and then asked everyone to get in the car.
The carriage was much faster than walking, and we arrived home in less than an hour.
Zhang Qin, Gu Xingping and others were all at home. When they saw someone getting off the carriage, they immediately came over to pick up the child.
"Since having them, why do I feel that my family status has plummeted?"
Everyone was anxious to hold their children and had long forgotten about Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong.
Gu Xingdong shook her hand and said softly: "Don't worry, your status with me will never change."
Because they knew they were bringing their children back, the stove at home had been burning all morning, so as soon as they entered, they felt a heat wave hit their faces.
Xiao Chengzi and Xiao Bai were restrained all the way. As soon as they opened their blankets, they turned over and raised their little heads.
"I've long heard from Xingye that the two children in Sister-in-law's family are good-looking. They really look like the dolls in the New Year paintings." Zhang Xiaoju praised with a smile.
Several children in the family also gathered around, and Rui Rui immediately guarded her younger siblings nervously, fearing that someone might accidentally hit them hard and make them cry.
Not long after, Chen Mandun and Wu Chunmei heard the news and came over with several children.
As the saying goes, they are a close relative of another generation. Chen Lishu is the eldest child in the family, so she is also the first grandchild. When the couple saw the child, their hearts melted.
"Mom and Dad, give me a hug, I'm your aunt now." Chen Lizi stood on tiptoes and opened her hands anxiously.
Wu Chunmei stopped them: "You are too young, don't knock them down, wait until they are older before you hug them."
Chen Lizi could only retract her hand in grievance.
In response to everyone's enthusiasm, Xiao Chengzi was very proud of everyone's enthusiasm and grinned, making everyone smile. However, because of his long teeth, the smiles kept lingering along the corners of his mouth. Seeing this, Li Xiulan quickly took out her handkerchief.
Seeing that everyone was surrounding the child, no one paid attention to Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong. They were happy and at ease. They picked up the package and returned to their room. They found that the kang cabinet was gone and there was a double-door standing cabinet in the corner.
"I knew that you and your third brother were coming back and that you had two children to take care of. I was afraid that there was not enough room in the house, so I took it upon myself to change them for you." Zhang Qin hurriedly followed over and explained.
"How could it be possible? Thank you, sister-in-law, for taking the lead. Otherwise Xingdong and I would be very busy. By the way, I'll give you the price for setting up a cabinet."
Chen Lishu said she was going to get the money, but Zhang Qin stopped her.
"Your eldest brother hired someone to make it. It's not much money for the processing fee. Take it back quickly. You clean up first and I'll cook."
With that said, the person turned and left.
Soon Chen Lishu began to put things away.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Chen Lishu opened the door and found that it was her third sister Chen Lifei. She smiled and pulled her into the house.
"Sister, there were thieves on the mountain the night before yesterday..."
Then Chen Lifei told what happened in detail.
After listening to her words, Chen Lishu asked: "What did the police say?"
"It had been snowing that night, and I couldn't even see the footprints clearly, so the investigation was a bit difficult."
Chen Lishu nodded: "Just having someone on duty at night may have some effect, but in such a big place on the mountain, there are always things that cannot be seen."
The chicken coop alone and the pig coop taken together are quite large.
"I've thought of a way, which may have some effect."
The most shameful thing about Chen Lishu is this group of thieves who steal things. They are obviously good at it but they still don't do their job and want to get something for nothing. She should give them some color.
