Two generations of military wives compete for time

After Han Shiyan and Qian Yizhen finished their phone call, they immediately took action. Han Shiyan drove Li Baoguo to the general manager's office of Hong Kong Textile International Trading Company. Her cousin Chen Mengwei was talking to a client in English. Seeing Han Shiyan and Li Baoguo coming, she happily signaled them to sit down and wait.

While talking on the phone, my aunt walked to another room and brought drinks to the children. About ten minutes later, the call ended.

"Mom, you are such a busy person. We haven't seen each other for many days. Don't you miss your daughter?"

"What's the point of thinking about my daughter? My daughter is already grown up, and she still hasn't dated, married, or had children. I get angry when I see her, so don't think about her, don't see her, and don't get angry. Humph."

"Mom, why are you like this? I brought my son-in-law to you today. Do you like him? If you have no objection, we plan to apply for marriage registration in Hong Kong."

Aunt Chen Mengwei smiled and glanced at Li Baoguo: "Okay, okay, I have no objection, you two should go and apply for marriage registration as soon as possible. Do you need a guarantor? I will help you find one."

"Mom, you are so anxious. We have already consulted mainlanders and Hong Kongers about the relevant procedures and processes for registering marriages in Hong Kong. Please don't worry about it."

"Mom, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"Shiyan, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Mom, Sister Yizhen asked me to help Grandpa Kuang find his son Kuang Xi in Hong Kong. Li Baoguo and I went through a lot of trouble and finally found Uncle Kuang Xi. However, no matter how we persuaded him, Uncle Kuang Xi refused to return to his hometown to visit his father. Please meet with Uncle Kuang and persuade him to go back to his hometown to see Grandpa Kuang and Grandma Huang. They must be Uncle Kuang Xi's biological parents. Why is he so stubborn? I really can't understand it."

Aunt Chen Mengwei looked at her watch and said, "Shiyan, let's go find Kuang Xi now and see if I can make this blockhead come to his senses."

About three hours later, cousin Chen Mengwei, Han Shiyan, and Li Baoguo came to Kuang Xi's small department store: "Uncle Kuang, hello, I'm busy. My mother Chen Mengwei, I'm taking the liberty to visit you, I hope you don't mind."

"Hello, Brother Kuang, I'm Han Shiyan's mother. In my hometown, our Chen family and your Kuang family have been good neighbors from generation to generation. I heard from Shiyan that you have never made up your mind to go back to your hometown to see your parents. Is it so difficult to go back to your hometown? If you have any difficulties, please tell me and I will help you, okay?"

"Brother Kuang, in the past, like you, I was also reluctant to return to my hometown, the Chen Mansion. However, when I returned to the Chen Mansion with all my heart, I was melted by the strong family affection. From then on, I returned to the Chen Mansion to live for a period of time every year. While accompanying my old father, I also got to recuperate physically and mentally. More importantly, it strengthened my self-confidence in facing the future."

"Brother Kuang, you'd better go back to your hometown. Since the country's reform and opening up, the appearance of our hometown has undergone earth-shaking changes.

I know that your family suffered a lot of unfair treatment during the Cultural Revolution, which left an indelible shadow on your childhood and youth, causing you and your siblings to leave your hometown and not be able to return home. That is a thing of the past, and everything is being rectified. You should not worry anymore. "

"Brother Kuang, everything can wait, except filial piety. Uncle Kuang and Aunt Huang are already in their 80s. The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. The son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer there."

"Brother Kuang, your mother has been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. In the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, patients may experience symptoms such as memory loss, decreased thinking and judgment, confusion and bewilderment. As the disease progresses, patients may experience more serious symptoms such as aphasia, agnosia, dyspraxia, and inability to take care of themselves in daily life. In the late stages, patients may be completely dependent on the care of others and eventually die of infection, exhaustion, and other reasons.

Perhaps your mother has been worrying about her children and grandchildren day and night for more than 20 years and can never let go. Do you want her to have a lifelong regret?"

After hearing what her cousin Chen Mengwei said, Kuang Xi burst into tears: "Sister Chen, it's not that I don't want to go back. Look at my disabled leg. How can I face my parents? Wouldn't this add to their worries? Besides, if I leave, no one will take care of my shop. I rely on it to make a living now."

Han Shiyan handed Uncle Kuang Xi a tissue, and Kuang Xi took it and wiped his tears: "My son and daughter are married and have their own families, and I am a grandfather now. I don't want to be a burden to the children. I also want to make more money to pay for the tuition of my grandchildren."

"Brother Kuang, don't think too much. There will always be a way out. Let's find a solution together. Listen to me. If you go back to your parents, maybe everything will be solved."

"Sister Chen, I will listen to you and go back to my hometown to see my parents."

"Uncle Kuang, you finally figured it out. I'll call Sister Yizhen right now." Han Shiyan said impatiently.

"Sister Yizhen, the older you are, the wiser. My mom got Uncle Kuang settled the matter as soon as she stepped in. I will tell you the airport pick-up time after we help Uncle Kuang complete the formalities. The overseas wanderers who have been away for more than 20 years are about to return to the embrace of their motherland. I think I have contributed to this as well." Han Shiyan said playfully.

"Shi Yan, you have made great contributions. When you return to the Chen Mansion, you will be rewarded handsomely. I will let the twelve children from the Chen Mansion, Lu Mansion, Kuang Mansion, and Yang Mansion make a fuss in your bridal chamber. Hahaha." Qian Yizheng joked.

"Sister Yizhen, what is a wedding night disturbance?"

"The bridal chamber prank is also known as "the quarrel in the bridal chamber". It is performed on the night of the wedding. The practice is that the younger sister-in-law sends lanterns first and then hugs the bride early. After sending the lanterns, all the elders, peers and juniors gather in the bridal chamber to congratulate the newlyweds. There is a saying that 'there is no distinction between the young and the old for three days' and 'the more quarrels, the happier the couple'," Qian Yizheng explained.

"Shiyan, if you don't understand, let Li Baoguo explain it to you later. We won't talk anymore. I have to tell Grandpa Kuang and Grandma Huang the good news that Uncle Kuang Xi is back home to make them happy. I'm hanging up now."

Qian Yizhen hung up the phone, holding Junyan in his left hand and Junge in his right hand, and came to Kuang's house. Junge and Junyan ran to find Xiangxiang and Ganggang to play.

"Grandpa Kuang, Grandma Huang, are you there? I have good news to tell you. Uncle Kuang Xi has agreed to come back from Hong Kong to see you two. I will pick him up at the airport. You just wait patiently at home and let the housekeeper help you clean up the room and prepare to welcome Uncle Kuang Xi home." Qian Yizhen said loudly into Grandpa Kuang's ear.

Grandpa Kuang said in a trembling voice: "Is it true? Our Xier is finally coming back. Are my grandson and granddaughter coming back?"
