The train was hot and stuffy, with all sorts of sweat and foot odors mixed together, making it unbearable. Coupled with his concern for Shi Qingqian and his family, he really didn't eat anything.

At this moment, in this quiet kitchen, Xu Huaian ate very quickly, as if he wanted to sweep away all his fatigue and hunger.

After a while, Xu Huaian finished eating all the food. He put down his chopsticks and touched his stomach with satisfaction.

"Sure enough, there's no place better than home," Xu Huaian sighed.

Shi Qingqian put the bowl and chopsticks back into the sink, and they disappeared instantly. "It's almost time, you should go back quickly and don't let anyone find you."

Xu Huaian stood up, hugged Shi Qingqian tightly again, and kissed her gently on the forehead, "Wife, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he left the space.

A few days later, the train Xu Huaian was on slowly pulled into the platform in Beijing.

As soon as he got off the train, Xu Huaian saw people from the Northern Military Region coming to greet him.

They were also dressed in military uniforms, looking heroic and standing there in neat rows, attracting attention.

When the leading officer saw Xu Huaian, he immediately came forward and saluted him with a standard military salute.

"Captain Xu, welcome to Jing City. Please follow us."

Xu Huaian returned the salute and said simply, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he followed the people from the Northern Military Region into a military green truck.

Trucks sped through the streets of Beijing.

Soon, they arrived at the Northern Military District’s headquarters.

The place is heavily guarded and filled with a serious atmosphere.

Xu Huaian was taken to a special area and began various pre-selection tests.

During the intense testing process, Xu Huaian had almost no time to rest.

Xu Huaian hurriedly entered the space and left a note stating that he had arrived at the Northern Military Region.

Qing Qian saw the note that night.

……

On the other side, Xiangyang Village also became lively.

It turned out that the package sent back by Shi Qingqian had arrived.

When the postman delivered the list, Xu's father immediately asked the eldest son, Xu Huaiguo, to go to the post office to retrieve the package.

Xu Huaiguo hurried to the post office and saw two large packages there, which were particularly conspicuous.

He carried the package with great effort and walked quickly towards home, attracting many curious glances from villagers along the way.

When I got home, Xu's father was already waiting in the yard.

Xu Huaiguo put the package down and said with a gasp, "Dad, the package is back."

Father Xu looked at the two large packages, his eyes full of anticipation. "Open them quickly. There must be a letter inside. I wonder if your mother has arrived yet."

"It's been so many days, it should have arrived long ago," said the second son, Xu Huaimin. "These must have been sent back to us by mother."

They couldn't wait to open the package, and there was a dazzling array of items inside.

There were new clothes that Zhang Lanxiang made for Xu's father, cloth for them, and some rare food.

Sure enough, there was a letter in the corner of the package.

Father Xu opened the letter with trembling hands, and Xu Huaiguo also came over.

The letter was written by Xu Huaian. In the letter, Xu Huaian described in detail that Zhang Lanxiang had arrived safely at the military region, and also mentioned the good news that Shi Qingqian was pregnant.

When Mr. Xu saw that his daughter-in-law was also pregnant, a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face, and his mouth corners were stretched to his ears.

He said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this is really a great joyful event."

Xu Huaiguo also showed an honest smile and said, "That's great, my third brother's wife is pregnant, and my third brother will be a father too."

Father Xu carefully put the letter away, as if it were a precious treasure.

He began to think about what gifts to prepare for his unborn grandchildren.

"Huaiguo, Huaimin, go to the mountain and chop down a few more trees. I'll make some toys for the baby in my third wife's belly."

"Dad, the baby hasn't been born yet. It will take several years before he can play with these things. There's no need to be so anxious," Xu Huaimin said.

Father Xu glared at Xu Huaimin and said, "What do you know? This is a big happy event for our Xu family. It's better to prepare early so that you can feel at ease. Besides, time flies so fast. The baby will be born in the blink of an eye."

Xu Huaimin scratched his head and chuckled, "Then make a few for my third child as well."

"Go, go, go chop down the tree."

Xu Huaiguo and Xu Huaimin immediately got up and prepared to go to the mountain to cut trees.

They carried their axes and strode up the mountain at great speed.

Along the way, the two were still discussing their upcoming nephew or niece.

"Brother, do you think this baby will be a boy or a girl?" Xu Huaimin asked curiously.

Xu Huaiguo smiled and said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all treasures of our Xu family."

"My third brother and his wife are both good-looking. The baby they will give birth to will definitely be beautiful too."

"Of course."

At the same time, in the Xu family yard, Xu's father sat aside, thinking carefully about what else needed to be prepared.

……

In Beijing, Shi Dawei also received the things sent by Shi Qingqian.

Shi Dawei looked at the package sent by his granddaughter Shi Qingqian with joy, a happy smile on his face, as if this package was the most precious gift in the world.

"Who sent so many things?" Aunt Jiang asked, "Is it Miss Yueyue? Our Miss Yueyue is indeed the most filial."

Shi Dawei laughed heartily: "It's not Yueyue, it's my precious granddaughter."

Aunt Jiang was startled: "Old Chief, isn't Miss Yueyue your precious granddaughter?"

Shi Dawei was busy unpacking the package and had no time to explain to her.

After carefully unpacking the package, the first thing that caught my eye was a Zhongshan suit.

Shi Dawei gently picked up the Zhongshan suit, his eyes full of surprise and joy.

The overall color tone of this Zhongshan suit is a calm navy blue. The fabric is of fine texture and is soft to the touch yet crisp.

The neckline design of the top is simple and elegant, giving people a sense of dignity.

The black buttons on the placket are round and full, exuding a low-key luster.

The whole Zhongshan suit does not have too many decorations, but it exudes a simple, elegant and solemn temperament.

Shi Dawei gently stroked the soft fabric, feeling his granddaughter's love.

This set of clothes was made for him by Shi Qingqian herself, and every stitch and thread contained her deep respect and love for her grandfather.

Tears flashed in Shi Dawei's eyes. Before he found Shi Qingqian, he thought he had no relatives in this world.

His parents, brothers, wife and son all left him.

In that turbulent era, he lost too many loved ones, and the pain in his heart was like a wound that would never heal.

Now, with his granddaughter Shi Qingqian, and his great-grandson who will be born soon, he can also enjoy the happiness of family like ordinary people.
