Chapter 293 I'll Pick You Up
"It was getting dark, and since you hadn't come back yet, I was going to go look for you along the road. But I didn't expect to see you before I even left the gate of the residential compound."
In the pitch-black night, a simple sentence contained boundless worry and concern, warming one's heart without them even realizing it.
Qin Yunzhou walked over to Xu Sui and helped her push the 28-inch bar.
It's already June or July, and the weather is getting hotter. The bright moonlight illuminates the entire residential compound.
The pure white moonlight shone on Qin Yunzhou's sharply defined profile, making him appear even more refined, handsome, and extraordinary.
Xu Sui turned her head to look at his face. After so many years of marriage, it seemed that his face had become more and more handsome with the passage of time, and had become more and more ingrained in her heart, making her feel a little itchy.
She adjusted her pace and walked side by side with Qin Yunzhou. She took the initiative to reach out and grasp the man's somewhat hot and rough hand, interlocking her fingers tightly with his. She blinked and smiled.
"Political Commissar Qin, how can you be so good to me? I want to hold your hand and never let go."
This person has always been very considerate, a steady and reliable mountain, silently standing behind her, supporting and helping her.
"Then we'll never let go for the rest of our lives." Qin Yunzhou turned his head to look at the person next to him, his gaze fixed on Xu Sui's face.
He turned and gripped her hand tightly, his grip so strong it seemed he wanted to meld her into his very bones, never to be separated again.
Perhaps because she had to work, she didn't dress up specially today, only wearing a simple and durable blue work uniform, but it was ordinary and had quite a few stains on it.
My wife is beautiful when she's dressed up, and she's beautiful even when she's not. She still looks beautiful even in her dirty work clothes.
It's not physical beauty, but the kind of beauty that gives people a sense of vitality and striving for progress.
Qin Yunzhou knew that Xu Sui must have been very tired, because the two of them had just held hands tightly.
He noticed that Xu Sui's hands had become rough and had developed several blisters, one of which had even burst and was bleeding.
Even riding a 28-inch motorcycle, it takes more than two hours to get from the residential compound to the machinery factory in town.
It was tough work, but he never heard Xu Sui complain about the difficulties of her job. Instead, he always heard her love and hard work for the job.
Qin Yunzhou gently wiped the dirt off Xu Sui's face, then carefully held her hand to avoid touching the wound on her hand.
"Let's go home for dinner, everyone's waiting for you."
Xu Sui nodded, and the two did not hold hands for long before letting go.
Since this is outside, not at home, it's not appropriate for people to see us like this.
When they got home, the door opened, and both children ran over.
Especially Yao Yao, who immediately hugged Xu Sui's leg and looked up at her with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Mom, Mom, you're finally back! My brother and I missed you so much on the first day of school."
"Mom, Mom, when Dad took us to school today, he let us ride on his head. All the other kids were so envious of me and my brother."
She liked these kinds of days, even though this place couldn't compare to Beijing.
But here are my father, my mother, my great-grandmother, and my aunt; they are all here.
She liked this place, and her brother liked it too.
Xu Sui patted her daughter and son's heads, then looked up at the man beside her, smiled, and said, "As long as you're happy."
Who would have thought that someone as refined as Qin Yunzhou would openly let two children ride on his head?
During dinner in the evening.
Grandma Qin suddenly took out two letters. "A letter arrived from our hometown today."
"Sui Sui, this letter was sent by your mother, and this letter was sent by your mother-in-law and the others."
"I haven't touched the letter your mother sent. I was thinking of leaving it for you to open and read when you get back. I've already opened and read the letter your mother-in-law and her family sent."
"Yes, they also sent a few packages, which haven't been opened yet; they're just on that table. I've put all the letters here; you can look at them yourselves after dinner."
Upon hearing that it was Wang Yinhua who had written the letter, Xu Sui didn't even bother to eat and quickly put down her chopsticks to take the letter and open it.
For the past four years, they have maintained contact with their hometown, writing a letter almost every month.
But even though I haven't seen him, I still miss him.
But she and Qin Yunzhou only stayed in their hometown for a little over a year.
But she missed everyone from her hometown very much, including her mother Wang Yinhua, her younger brother Xu Fei, her grandmother, her parents-in-law, and even her sister-in-law Xiao Fen.
Xu Sui was starting to think about it.
Every year during winter and summer vacations, Xu Sui thinks about taking her child back to her hometown to visit relatives, but her studies are too busy, and she spends most of her winter and summer vacations studying in her professor's laboratory.
There simply wasn't enough time to go back.
Now she has brought her children to the military base, and her work with the troops is just beginning, so she has even less time to go back.
This has always been a regret in Xu Sui's heart, and it is the thing she cares about most.
I'm planning to take my two kids back to my hometown once my job is more stable.
The letter was opened.
There weren't any particularly sentimental lines. As usual, it started with expressions of concern—concern for her, concern for the two children, and concern for Qin Yunzhou and the others.
It was just a few lines of text, not much was written, and everything was the same as before, but the thought of not being able to go back even once in so many years made me realize that...
Xu Sui still felt a tightness in her chest, and the longing in her heart grew wildly like weeds, impossible to get rid of.
The letter mentioned that
Grandma Xu is getting old and has recently had difficulty walking, so she has resigned from her job at the county hospital and is now resting at home.
Wang Xiuer, who used to take care of the old lady, got married last year. She didn't marry into the city, but into the countryside. However, she still lives with the old lady and continues to take care of her.
The old lady knew how to maintain her health, had excellent medical skills, and was in good physical condition.
A few days ago, I even went to Wang Yinhua's house to ask if Xu Sui had graduated and if she wanted to go back to her hometown this year.
Upon learning that Xu Sui was not returning to her hometown but was going to join the army with her two children, the old lady was visibly disappointed.
