Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Chapter 477 Return to Hangzhou

The morning light is just breaking, and there is still a little chill in the air.

After breakfast, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and stood in front of the door to say goodbye to Chen Xueru.

The brother and sister have already started school, and yesterday was their day off so they were at home.

Today they insisted on asking him to take them to school. After not seeing each other for such a long time, he naturally couldn't say no.

"Xue Ru, I'll take them to school first. You go back to the house and take care of the children and rest for a while."

Chen Xueru helped the brother and sister check their textbooks and slung the general's green schoolbag over their shoulders.

She stood up and rubbed her little head: "Be careful on the road! Don't fight in school!"

"Okay, okay! I get it! Mom, you should go back and have some rest! Dad will be with me today!"

Tongtong, carrying her schoolbag, raised her head and said this, then ran to He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru looked at her lively and cheerful appearance and just smiled and shook her head.

She took her son's hand, walked to the back of the bicycle and lifted him up.

"Yangyang, hug your dad and shout loudly if anything happens!"

He Yuzhu had already carried Tongtong to the seat on the horizontal bar and turned around: "Don't worry! They are two little ones, it will be easy!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Tongtong was waving her little hands in front, like she was riding a horse and waving a whip, her face full of excitement.

Seeing her excitement, He Yuzhu and his wife looked doting on her.

After nodding to each other, they pedaled their bicycles and headed steadily towards the entrance of the alley.

Clear shouts and yells mixed with the sound of car bells, and the figure gradually walked away and finally disappeared at the end of the alley.

At the beginning, Chen Xueru and Feng Liping took them to school. But after she became pregnant at the end of last year, Uncle Fang had to take over.

He has difficulty walking and cannot ride a bicycle, so he can only get up early every day and walk there.

The school is not too far from this alley, so it’s still possible to walk there in time.

After turning a few intersections, there were more and more vehicles and people passing by, some of whom were parents coming to send their children to school.

The students in the lower grades are still young, and the elders at home are worried about them.

Either there are elderly people at home, or they go to work right after sending their children to school.

But most of them are children from the compound, with the older ones bringing the younger ones to school together.

Tongtong sat in the front and waved and greeted familiar classmates when she saw them, acting like a social terrorist.

He Yuzhu never stopped in the alley in front of the school and had to smile a lot.

Finally arriving at the school gate, He Yuzhu stopped the car and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because he had to get up early to go to work, he left early and seldom came to send them to school.

He felt a little embarrassed after having to deal with so many people all the way here. It seemed that he needed to make some changes.

"Yangyang, get off the car first!"

He supported himself with his legs, turned sideways, and reached out to help his son get out of the car.

The height of the 28-inch bicycle is still a bit high for his age.

"Take off! Woohoo!"

He held Tongtong's armpits with both hands, lifted her up, and then put her on the ground to make her stand firmly.

"Hehehe~ Okay, okay! Dad, I want more!"

As soon as Tongtong landed, she started to act coquettishly and begged him to continue, finding it very exciting and interesting.

"Be good! I'll pick you up today, and come back later!"

He Yuzhu saw the desire in his son's eyes and continued, "Tomorrow your brother will sit in the front.

Dad will come and take you to school when he has time in the future! Okay! ? "

After coaxing the child happily to school, He Yuzhu wiped his forehead until he could no longer see her, then rode his bike back home.

At noon, the family had a simple lunch.

He Yuzhu held his sleeping little son in his arms, with Chen Xueru snuggling beside him.

The two sat on chairs in the courtyard, basking in the warm autumn sun.

The sun makes people feel warm, and a faint milky scent diffuses around them, filling the air with a cozy atmosphere.

Chen Xueru quietly enjoyed the peace of the moment, her cheeks, which had become a little round due to childbirth, emitting a faint glow.

After a moment, her eyelids moved and she suddenly opened her eyes, with a hazy look in her eyes.

He subconsciously moved his body into a more comfortable position, then he came back to his senses and his eyes became bright.

"Brother Zhuzi, Feng's mother is going back home at the end of the year!"

He Yuzhu held his son firmly in his arms, turned his head, and asked softly, "What's going on at home, Aunt Feng? Do you need help?"

"Her daughter is expecting her third child, and the due date is around the end of the year. Aunt Feng is a little worried and wants to go back to take care of her."

Feng Liping's daughter is not much older than Chen Xueru, but her personal circumstances are different and she has already given birth to two children.

She only has one daughter, and now that she is older, she is naturally a little worried.

I spend most of the year in the city and less time at my daughter's home. It's at times like this that I feel at ease when she's by my side.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Okay! Just discuss this with Aunt Feng, and I'll get her some extra things to bring back.

I'll think of a way to deal with the situation at home. I'll apply to be transferred back, preferably to the ministry.

It's close to home, so I can pick them up and drop them off every day.

I can just heat up the food at noon and eat it, and I will have enough time to cook when I get home in the evening."

When Chen Xueru heard what he said, she took his arm, stood up and looked at him with a look of surprise on her face.

"Is this true? If that were true, there would be no other problems at home.

I don't know exactly what you were doing, but it shouldn't be difficult to apply for a transfer back now, right?"

As he spoke, he began to feel anxious, fearing that his application would not be approved and he would have to go out of the city again.

The current situation is different from a few years ago. The research institute has sufficient supplies, so his presence or absence has little impact.

This time he was suddenly transferred for one year, and his organizational relationship was transferred reasonably and legally.

Under normal circumstances, his organizational relationship will be transferred back to his original unit, which is the research institute.

Since there are people at home who need care, it would be a good idea for him to ask someone to transfer him back to the city.

As long as he goes to find the receiving unit first, it will be easier to get things done.

"Don't worry! I promise I can do it. I'll go for a run outside during these few days of rest.

When I meet the chief, I'll mention this to him and it should be fine."

Seeing his confident look, Chen Xueru nodded repeatedly and happily hugged his arms.

"That's good, that's good! My senior brothers and sisters already have grandchildren, so it's not good to trouble them to run back and forth.

In two years, when they are a little older, let them go to school with the kids in the alley.

This way, we can rest assured..."

Listening to her chattering in his ear, He Yuzhu understood what she was thinking.

"Xue Ru, we won't have any more children in the future.

Otherwise, just after you have taken care of Tongtong and Yangyang, you will have to be busy with Jialiang.

If this cycle continues, you will probably become a yellow-faced woman!"

When Chen Xueru first heard this, she thought to herself that this was indeed the case.

Unless you let your children run wild, you will have to spend a lot of energy on them.

But when she heard the teasing behind him, she couldn't help but touch her pretty face and stare at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Okay, are you going to dislike me now?"

The cries for mercy suddenly spread throughout the courtyard, and the air was filled with the breath of life.
