After He Ziqian got married, the He family became a lot more lively.

Yunjin is fine, going out early and coming back late, and resting on weekends.

I can't take care of Xiao Nian Gao on weekdays, so on weekends, I basically take Xiao Nian Gao and He's mother out for a walk and let them get in touch with the outside world.

If the weather is hot, go to the park.

There are several parks in Beijing, and you can also take a boat ride.

Little Nian Gao sat on the boat and missed her father: "When will Dad come back?"

"When Mommy gets a day off, we'll go find Daddy!"

"When will Mom have her holiday?" asked Little Nian Gao.

Yun Jin patted her daughter's head and said, "Less than a month left. It will be quick."

"I miss Dad. When I was a kid, Dad took me boating, fishing, and playing in the water." Little Rice Cake asked, "Will you take me along to play this time when I go see Dad?"

Yun Jin nodded affirmatively: "Of course I will."

Little Nian Gao was overjoyed and hugged Mother He's hand and said, "Grandma is going too!"

Yun Jin looked at He's mother with a smile: "Okay, Grandma will go too, Grandpa will go too, everyone will go, let's go find Dad together!"

Mother He was a little tempted. She went home that night and said to Father He, "Xiao Yun said she wants to go to the base and take us with her. Do you want to go?"

He's father shook his head: "Why would I go to the garrison at my age? It would only cause trouble for the local people. I won't go. If you want to go, you can go and play for a few days."

Mother He's good mood was extinguished: "If you don't go, why should I go? Besides, there is a pregnant granddaughter-in-law at home. If I leave, you guys will be the only ones at home. You won't be able to take care of yourselves at all."

He's father thought about it and said: "This family cannot do without you. You have taken so much trouble."

This sentence warmed He's mother's heart. She said regretfully, "We can only let Nian Gao and her mother go to the base. Alas, I don't know how the third child is doing."

He's father was annoyed: "What can happen in peacetime? It's not like our time, where there were wars here and there. I've fought all the battles I should have fought. Don't worry, our country has become stronger, and those people dare not come openly."

Mother He thought to herself that although they didn't dare to do it openly, they did a lot of small actions.

Otherwise, arresting so many spies every year is just a plan by the bad guys.

Mother He almost didn't fall asleep that night.

Yun Jin and Li Aimei discussed the matter of returning to the base and decided to buy train tickets together. They asked He's mother for help and bought sleeper tickets. Yun Jin bought one for Li Aimei.

Li Aimei was reluctant to do so because sleeper berths were expensive and could not be bought without some connections.

When she came, she always had a seat ticket, and it was her brother who used his connections to buy it for her. Originally, she had a standing ticket, which was even more tiring.

Yun Jin said, "Nian Gao wants you to accompany him. If you come with us, we can take care of him. You don't have to pay for it. Sister-in-law will buy it for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Li Aimei didn't bother to be polite with Yun Jin. She knew that Yun Jin didn't care about the ticket money, and if she kept refusing, it would become awkward.

Knowing that Yun Jin and her daughter were going to the base for the summer vacation, He Zizhen was originally going to go, but since her mother He was not going, she had to stay at home. He's sister-in-law said that she had enrolled her in a class at the Children's Palace and asked her to take an interest class.

He Zizhen almost cried out of grievance: "Nian Gao must miss his sister!"

Xiao Nian Gao nodded: "Sister, wait for me to come back and bring you something delicious."

"crayfish?"

Xiao Nian Gao nodded.

"Barbecue?"

Xiao Nian Gao nodded again.

"Grilled fish?"

Little Rice Cake drooled: "Good!"

Yun Jin was almost crying when she saw the two sisters talking about food. Before leaving, she discussed with He's mother and decided to have a barbecue at home the night before so that everyone could work together.

Grilled meat, grilled fish, grilled shrimp, and grilled leeks are all arranged.

There was such a big commotion in He Mama's yard that many people in the compound came over following the smell. The meat they bought was not enough, so they had plenty of roasted eggplants, roasted potatoes, and even roasted corn, all brushed with oil and sprinkled with barbecue ingredients. It smelled so good.

Dad He invited some old friends to drink some wine and eat some roast potatoes. He recalled the war when the potatoes were frozen hard and he almost lost his teeth after taking a bite.

I almost choked after taking a mouthful of the bean noodles.

As he was talking, he looked at the children gathered together, eager to try their hand at barbecue, and sighed: "Kids nowadays are so lucky."

Yun Jin brought them some barbecue skewers and said, "The prosperity we have now is all earned by you guys. Come and eat more and enjoy the happiness!"

"I love hearing this!"

"Chuan boy married a good wife!"

"You are so lucky, you have a good wife and a filial son-in-law!"

Being praised, He's father drank a sip of wine happily. Looking at the filial little rice cake, knowing that he had bad teeth, he specially brought him a roasted eggplant: "Grandpa, try it, the eggplant is delicious!"

"You're so good, grandpa likes to eat eggplant!" Dad He was very considerate and took a bite of the garlic eggplant. It turns out that the eggplant tasted really good when roasted like this.

Others envied him again.

How could Sun Sijia be missing when everyone was having a barbecue? She was pregnant and didn't want to squeeze in with the others. She asked He Zizhen what she wanted to eat: "Zizhen, I want grilled corn!"

"Are the chicken wings cooked? I want to eat them!"

"Is the grilled fish ready to eat?"

"Why are you bringing me mutton?"

He Zizhen was accused of being too much of a mess. After being criticized again for giving Sun Sijia leeks, which she didn't like to eat, He Zizhen exploded: "Get whatever you want to eat. I don't have time to serve you!"

Sun Sijia felt wronged: "I'm not pregnant."

"It's not my child. You should look for whose child you are pregnant with." He Zizhen gave up and refused.

Sun Sijia's eyes turned red with anger as she looked towards He's mother.

Mother He and Yun Jin turned their faces away at the same time, as if they didn't notice Sun Sijia complaining and were too lazy to pay attention to her.

This person is just pretentious.

Sun Sijia was so angry that she went back holding her stomach.

Yun Jin and He's mother looked at each other, and He's mother said, "Leave her alone."

Yun Jin didn't want to care about it.

In the evening, we had a delicious barbecue. All the children in the compound were very happy. The adults were embarrassed to come and eat, so we invited a lot of children, who were all about the same age as Xiao Nian Gao and He Zizhen.

They couldn’t eat much vegetarian food, so the meat was quickly finished and they enjoyed the vegetables as well.

After returning home, everyone said how delicious the barbecue was and they wanted to eat more.

He also asked, “Can we have a barbecue at home?”

They don't have that much free time. Everyone is very busy and has other things to deal with when they take a break.

Only in the He family can the elderly receive a salary after retirement, and it is a high salary.

There are both young ones who go to school and those who don’t.

Even Yunjin is in school and doesn't have to rush to get off work.

He Ximei later heard that they had eaten barbecue, and she called He's mother to ask why she didn't call them back. Her two children also liked barbecue, so she deliberately complained.

Mother He was at a loss for words. She didn't know which loudmouth had told others about the barbecue, causing her daughter to call and complain.

The barbecue evening was not smooth sailing.

Sun Sijia had a stomachache in the middle of the night, and the whole family almost couldn't sleep well.

Yun Jin heard the noise and came down, fearing that something had happened to He's mother and the others.

When I went downstairs, I saw Sun Sijia with a grim expression, clutching her stomach. "It must be that the barbecue tonight wasn't clean. I have a stomachache and diarrhea now. I can't eat barbecue anymore."

He Ziqian frowned: "Who organized the barbecue?"

Yun Jin said, "It's my fault. Since you have an upset stomach, let's go to the hospital to avoid getting seriously ill."

He Ziqian complained: "Why didn't you clean it up a little bit?"

"It's not like I didn't remind your wife that pregnant women should eat less barbecue. Your wife wants to eat it, and I can't control her. Instead of blaming me, you might as well have a good talk with your wife and ask her to avoid eating it." Yun Jin would not take the blame.

Sun Sijia felt wronged: "How would I know that the barbecue was not clean?"

"We are all fine, only you are feeling unwell. Did you eat something else?" Yun Jin remembered that she saw Sun Sijia open the refrigerator.

Sun Sijia insisted: "No, I didn't eat it."
