When we arrived at the Chen family’s old house, we saw Ruoyun’s cousin’s wife, Zhou Lemin, at the door.

"Cousin!"

Tang Xin greeted her and said that she had seen her the last time she came to Su City.

Zhou Lemin also looked much more haggard. Those years of life in the countryside were really torturous.

"Hey, Sister Zheng, cousin, cousin."

Zhou Lemin greeted them and quickly led them into the house.

"Come in quickly, Fourth Grandpa is waiting."

Tang Xin and the others followed Zhou Lemin into the house. As soon as they entered the main hall, their fourth uncle came out to greet them.

"big sister!"

My fourth uncle burst into tears.

"Uncle!"

"Fourth Master!"

Sister Zheng and a few others also cried out in sorrow. All of a sudden sadness overwhelmed their hearts and they all cried together.

After a while, my eldest cousin uncle started to persuade me, "Okay, okay, it's a good thing that aunt is back. Don't be sad. Fourth uncle, you are old too. Don't be too excited."

My cousin and cousin-in-law also followed suit to persuade them, and Tang Xin and the others calmed down and regained their composure.

After entering the house, everyone sat down one by one. My cousin's wife poured some water for everyone, and my uncle asked about the circumstances of my great aunt's death.

After hearing what my great aunt said before she died, my fourth uncle also sighed.

"Big sister's life was worth it. Although she never got married, she had children and grandchildren around her before she passed away, and we will offer incense to her after her death. That's very good, very good."

"Yes, the old lady has enjoyed a good life in Beijing these years. She often told me that these days are the happiest days besides her childhood."

Sister Zheng thought of what the old lady said and her eyes became red again.

Seeing Sister Zheng, Fourth Uncle couldn't help but sigh. She has been with the eldest sister for nearly forty years, and she is probably in her fifties now.

"Sister Zheng, please don't leave this time. Stay at home and let your children take care of you in your old age."

The fourth uncle said openly that all the children in the family knew about her relationship with the eldest sister and were willing to support her. He had also discussed this matter with the children.

"Yes, Sister Zheng, please stay. There is room at home."

Cousin Ruoyun also spoke up to persuade him.

Sister Zheng could see that the Chen family really wanted to keep her, and she was very relieved. However, when she remembered what she had promised the old lady, she still refused, although she also wanted to keep the place where the old lady was buried.

"Thank you, Fourth Master, and thank you all, but I'm used to staying in Beijing. Besides, the old lady was worried about Tang Bao when she left. As long as I can move, I have to stay with Tang Bao and help the old lady look after him."

So this is what my aunt talked to Sister Zheng about that day? Hearing Sister Zheng say this, Tang Xin's eyes became wet again. No, she couldn't control her tears when she mentioned her aunt.

"Uncle, when we went to Beijing, we agreed that after my aunt is gone, we will take care of Sister Zheng in her old age, so Sister Zheng has to go back with us."

"Yes, uncle. We are still here in Beijing. You don't have to worry about Sister Zheng's later years."

The eldest cousin also expressed his opinion, and Sister Zheng nodded after hearing it.

Uncle and his uncle unconsciously looked up to Tang's father and mother. These two were filial children. Jinxiu gave birth to a pair of good children.

Soon it was noon. My cousin's wife prepared the meal. Everyone had a quick bite and chatted for a while after the meal. My uncle asked them to go and rest. He was old and could not bear the emotional fluctuations.

Everything on the cemetery has been prepared. The day after tomorrow is a suitable day, and we will bury my aunt on that day.

Cousin-law Zhou Lemin brought Tang Xin to the guest room, which happened to be the same room Tang Xin had lived in that year.

"Ruoqing will be so happy to know you are here. She has often talked about you over the years. When she comes back in the evening, you two can have a good chat."

My cousin's wife's face was full of smiles when she talked about her sister-in-law.

"Well, we often communicate. Didn't she say she was going to get married? Has she set a date?"

Tang Xin was also very happy when talking about Ruoqing. Ever since she came to Su City that year and met Ruoqing, the two of them had kept in touch.

"Oh, don't mention it. It's over. That guy was recommended as a worker-peasant-soldier college student. He said he would go to Beijing to study at a university. He looked down on Ruoqing, who just graduated from high school. Ruoqing broke up with him in anger. Don't mention this to Ruoqing. She's very sad."

My cousin’s wife kept sighing. High school students are so great, how could that person still despise them? She really couldn’t understand it.

"Fortunately it happened before marriage. If that person disliked Ruoqing again after marriage, it would be terrible."

Isn't this a complete scumbag? He's nothing serious. He's just a worker-peasant-soldier college student. What's there to be proud of?

"That's right, we said that too. But Ruoqing still feels a little better in her heart. If she is willing to tell you, you can persuade her."

My cousin's wife said in agreement.

Tang Xin nodded in agreement, and then the two of them talked about their respective situations.

My cousin and his wife came back two years ago because the elderly in the family were old and their parents retired early to take care of them. They just came back. But they suffered a lot in the countryside over the years. They were full of enthusiasm at the beginning, but later they were suppressed by reality.

After a while, my cousin's wife said goodbye and asked Tang Xin and the others to have a rest. They were very tired after sitting in the car for two days.

After her cousin's wife left, Tang Xin lay on the bed. She thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but who would have thought that she would fall into a deep sleep after just a while.

When I opened my eyes again, the sun was about to set.

"Tangbao, you're awake. You haven't had a good rest these days and you've lost weight."

Sister Zheng pushed open the door and saw that Tang Xin had woken up. She hurried into the room and poured her a glass of water.

"Have some hot water. Although the winter here is different from ours, there's nothing to heat it. It's even colder inside than outside."

"Well, thank you, Sister Zheng. How was your lunch break?"

Tang Xin took the cup of water handed to her by Sister Zheng, took a big sip, and then asked.

"I slept for a while, too. As people age, they sleep less. I dare not sleep too much, otherwise I will not be able to sleep at night."

Sister Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, helping Tang Xin tidy up the bedding. Tang Xin leaned on Sister Zheng, and the two of them stayed like that quietly for a while.

Then Tang Xin and Sister Zheng got up and went to the kitchen to help her cousin's wife and aunt prepare dinner.

Ruoqing was the first to come back. She was very excited to see Tang Xin and gave her a big hug. Tang Xin had sent her many good things in the past few years, many of which were not available here, but it made her famous in front of her classmates for a long time.

After dinner, Ruoqing pulled Tang Xin to sleep together. They chatted for a long time. When she talked about her scumbag ex, Tang Xin scolded him along with her. Ruoqing really let it go.

"I didn't have deep feelings for him in the first place. I just thought I was old enough and his family situation was okay. Who knew I was so short-sighted? At first, I didn't even mind that he hadn't even graduated from junior high school."

Ruoqing was lying on the bed complaining. Tang Xin suddenly remembered that workers, peasants and soldiers could go to college regardless of their status, regardless of their academic qualifications, as long as someone recommended them. So she suggested that Ruoqing also go to college.

Unexpectedly, Ruoqing refused. She didn't care in the first place, so she had no intention of arguing about it. Besides, just look at the recommended workers, peasants and soldiers as college students and you will know that it is useless for them to go to college and they won't learn any knowledge.

Tang Xin thought so too. After all, it was her own path to choose, so she stopped trying to persuade him.

In a blink of an eye, the day of burial arrived. It was still the small hill behind the Zhou family ancestral hall, but Grandpa Zhou would no longer be alone, as he had the company of his great aunt.

After burying her great aunt, Tang Xin sat in front of the grave for a long time. Looking at the place where her great aunt would rest in peace, Tang Xin truly realized that from now on, she would have to say goodbye to her great aunt forever.

After returning to Beijing, Tang Xin visited the Tang family's old house and the Chen family's house. After a short rest, he rushed back to Henan Province. He had taken such a long leave and still had a lot of work to deal with.

Sister Zheng also went back with her. Sister Zheng insisted on implementing her aunt's decision and wanted to stay with Tang Xin and take care of her.

Tang Xin and the others also considered that it might be better for Sister Zheng to change her environment, so they took Sister Zheng along.
