The train whistled for three days and two nights before arriving in Beijing. Su Yin slept on her father's shoulder for one night and on her husband's shoulder for the next. On the third day, she arrived in Beijing.
Su Jianqiang had only been to Beijing once in his fourth year of military service. He was arranged to participate in training and the time was not too long.
Now that many years have passed, Beijing feels even more unfamiliar to him.
"Should we go to the yard to put things first or go to your house first?" Su Yin discussed with Gu Chengan as soon as she got off the platform.
"Just go there. We can stay here. We'll stay in the military compound for a few days. Grandpa has been talking about wanting to see Dad."
When talking about Grandpa Gu Cheng'an, Su Jianqiang straightened up: "I'm thinking about him too. But let's find a place to buy something. I can't go there empty-handed."
Su Jianqiang was taken to a department store. He had money but no tickets. He insisted on paying for it himself and asked his daughter to give him tickets. He bought a bunch of maltose, canned fruit, and nutritional powder before going to Gu's house.
Su Yin was no longer as reserved as she was when she first met her father. She chattered about how she had come to Gu's house by train from her hometown. The difficult years in the past were now moving, like a funny story.
Gu Chengan walked by with his luggage. It was the first time he saw his lover like a little girl.
From the first time they met, he knew Su Yin as a gentle and sensible person. She was well-organized in what she said and did. Even after they got together and got married, Su Yin only occasionally showed a lively and playful look.
But now, in front of her father, her true blood relative, even the well-behaved and sensible Su Yin would act coquettishly and complain. This is probably the magic of parental affinity, which can make the most well-behaved people take off their disguises and reveal their most real and vulnerable side.
Gu Chengan listened to his wife's words and silently curled the corners of his lips. It's great.
The Gu family had received the news early. Gu Chengan called the post office four days ago to inform his family about the follow-up arrangements. Now, the whole family is waiting.
After hearing about the legendary experience of his old comrade's son, Grandpa Gu couldn't help sighing. When he saw the man walk into the house, he realized that the little boy had also experienced vicissitudes.
"Uncle Gu!" Su Jianqiang was grateful to the Gu family for taking care of his daughter.
"Hey! It's not easy for you, kid! Come, let me see!" The old man patted Su Jianqiang's arm, walked around him, and stared at his eyes. Even though he had experienced so much, his eyes were still bright and not cloudy. "Okay, I'm glad you're back!"
At dinner, Su Jianqiang held a glass of wine to toast the Gu family, and said something steady and powerful: "Uncle, aunt, Brother Gu, Sister-in-law, and Sister Wu, my daughter has been taken care of by everyone before. I, Su Jianqiang, will remember it in my heart. This glass of wine is for you."
After that, he drank a glass of white wine in one gulp.
"Oh, little Su, please sit down. We are all family, so let's not talk about different things." Grandma hurriedly asked everyone to sit down. After listening to Su Yin's father's experience, she had been wiping tears for two nights. It was painful.
Gu Kangcheng also changed his taciturn temperament and admired this relative who was also a soldier but had a rough life. He drank with him and exchanged cups.
