Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

The two rooms allocated to the Liu family both face north and south. The walls on both sides are not very high, and one can even see other people's yards when jumping. Fortunately, almost all the people living nearby are highly educated families with relatively high quality.

After opening the courtyard gate, there is a brick-paved path leading to the door of the house. On both sides are land planted with vegetables, and brooms, shovels and other tools are placed against the wall.

The full breath of life hits you in the face.

The family of four returned from the restaurant, and the two children were jumping for joy, as if they had no place to vent their pride in going to the restaurant.

After Liu Wuqing went into the house and changed his clothes, he looked at his wife who was still thinking and asked tentatively: "Wan Xin, did you fail to discuss your work today?"

"Well, I've been away for too long, and now there's no place for me in the hospital. The dean said she'd let me know when she gets a chance, but I think she was just being perfunctory."

Liu Wuqing said comfortingly:

"Don't worry about work, take your time. You've worked so hard for so many years, it's time to take a break. The salary I get from the government is enough for us to use for a long time, just take it as a break to adjust your mood. We haven't told our parents about our return yet, so I thought I'd buy some gifts and go to your house this Saturday to see you first, what do you think?"

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to your house first."

Liu Wuqing retorted:

"I'd better go to your house first. For many years, my parents-in-law have mailed you gifts during the New Year. In the past few years, they also mailed candies to the children. That was all saved from their mouths. The children have been clamoring to go see their grandparents. My parents still have my eldest brother. You know the situation of our family. I used to have illusions, but now it seems that I am really a superfluous person. I'll go back to see them myself when I have the chance, so that you and the children won't suffer."

"Well. It's OK as long as you have a plan in mind. Anyway, you have your own little family now. Just let it go. Your original family is not something you can choose."

Zhou Leng remained silent after she finished speaking. She knew that Liu Wuqing had two brothers. Although he was the younger brother, he was like a transparent person since he was a child. His parents loved him, but this love was always discounted. When he went to school, it was also because of the good national policy that he didn't have to pay for studying. If it were now, he would definitely have no money to study.

Liu Wuqing used to yearn for family affection, and he still had hope for his family before going to Heihe. However, after not receiving a letter or greeting for many years, he gave up hope. Now the only thing left is a blood connection.

Liu Wuqing looked at his wife who was still unhappy. He really didn't know how to comfort her. He could only sit aside and accompany her quietly.

Zhou Leng thought for a while and then said:

"I want to buy a small house, but if I buy a small shop, all the compensation money you have earned from working for so many years may be spent."

Liu Wuqing said without hesitation:

"You manage the money in our family. Besides, my monthly salary is enough to cover the family expenses. It's totally fine for you to buy a small shop and open your own clinic. The country has just introduced a policy to encourage individual business. You are keeping up with the times."

Zhou Leng curled his lips and looked at him and said, "I won't open a clinic if I buy it."

Liu Wuqing asked doubtfully: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Leng replied: "Steamed buns."

Liu Wuqing was silent for a while with his mouth open. He wondered if his wife had really gone crazy because of the shock? Why would she go to work as a doctor steaming buns?

Everyone has a different position and purpose, so naturally their ideas are different.

Zhou Leng became a barefoot doctor in Xiahewa because there was no pure and spiritual energy here and her cultivation had stagnated. She was also tired of the life of treating patients. She was forced by the situation when she was in Xiahewa to become a barefoot doctor in order to survive. However, she herself did not like this job very much. She studied medicine as a way to relax after her fatigue from practicing. Liking to study medicine does not mean she wants to save the world.

Now that she is back in the city, she wants to consume food and convert it into energy without restraint without worrying about her character collapsing. She can squander her strength without worrying about being called a monster. Steamed buns and dumplings seem to be a good choice.

Zhou Leng looked at Liu Wuqing seriously and repeated:

"You heard me right. I plan to open a small shop to sell steamed buns and steamed bread. What? Do you think having a daughter-in-law like this is not as respectable as having a daughter-in-law who is a doctor?"

Liu Wuqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took a deep breath and said:

"How could that be? You were the one who supported us before, otherwise the children and I wouldn't have survived. I'm just worried that you'd be too tired. It's okay if you don't work and just stay at home to recuperate. I can support you now. But if you want to open a small shop, I'll support you."

Zhou Leng raised her eyebrows. To be honest, she was not used to the tolerant and talkative Liu Wuqing. Perhaps his current vigor and vitality had slowly brought him back to his true nature. It must be said that such a man was indeed more attractive than the one who was in a state of desolation before. She said with a tone of emotion:

"I am very touched by your support. Actually, Xiahewa Village has left a shadow on me. I don't want to practice medicine anymore. I just want to do some down-to-earth work. I was scared of starvation in Xiahewa. I always feel that I need to stock up more food to feel at ease."

Liu Wuqing looked at his wife's pitiful appearance, his eyes slightly red and he sat down next to her with emotion. He put his arm around her shoulders and gently comforted his sad wife.

Zhou Leng was still not used to such closeness. She whispered, "Okay, I'm fine. It would be bad if the children came into the room and saw us hugging each other."

Liu Wuqing thought, my wife is always so shy.

***

On Saturday when we have rest.

The four members of the Liu family bought some fruits and snacks and slowly walked through the relatively busy streets towards Wanjia.

Liu Wuqing frowned as he looked at the groups of unemployed people on the street and the many vendors shouting on the roadside. He whispered to Zhou Leng:

"There is a lot of work to be done now. If there are too many people, it will easily lead to chaos. I am afraid the country will have to take severe measures."

Zhou Leng thought that this man was really sharp and knowledgeable, but she reminded him in a low voice: "Just tell me this, remember that the mouth can cause trouble, and don't make the same mistake again."

Liu Wuqing smiled apologetically and said, "I know. I'll tell you about it."

Liu Tingyan followed his father closely, and when he heard the conversation between his father and mother, he smiled silently.

Liu Tingfang was being held tightly by Zhou Leng's arm. There were many people coming and going on the street, and she was afraid that this silly girl would get lost again. Fortunately, the family arrived at the Wan family safely.

Seven or eight years have passed, and the Wan family's courtyard has not changed much. From a distance, one can see swaying figures in the house.

Zhou Leng and his family of four arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Just as they were about to call for help, the door of the house opened.

Li Fang was working in the house. She accidentally looked out the window and saw her daughter's family of four. She stood up excitedly and walked out, wiping her tears and laughing. She couldn't recognize her grandson and granddaughter who had grown up. Her uncle's hair had turned a lot whiter and he looked a little haggard. However, her daughter had not changed much except that she was a little thinner, so she recognized her at a glance.

"Oh my, my dear daughter, my precious daughter, I miss you so much."

Li Fang rushed out of the courtyard at lightning speed, then hugged Zhou Leng and burst into tears, patting Zhou Leng's strong back with both hands.

"My dear, you have suffered so much. You have become so thin over the years. I didn't see you off when you left. I have been worried about you for so many years. I miss you so much. My sweetheart, you are finally back."

Zhou Leng reached out and hugged Li Fang back. She whispered to comfort her, "Mom, it's okay. You're back now. It's okay."

The family reunited after many years and had endless things to say to each other.

The day we meet is filled with affection, Happiness embraces us and accompanies long thoughts.
