Chapter 8

Before Song Yu'e reached the door, she heard laughter coming from inside the house.

？？？

That's not right. Weren't there no guests at home today?

"That's it? That person scared himself to death?" Song Yu'e heard her husband's words as soon as she opened the door.

"Yes, he scared himself to death," Xu Peng said impatiently.

"Hahahaha." This time, even Qin Zhao, who rarely laughed, laughed out loud.

"What's so funny? Who's here?

Why did I hear someone coming? Weren't there no guests today? "Song Yu'e asked.

"Oh, he's back. Pengpeng came today. He just told us a joke. It was so funny." Qin Weimin explained to Song Yu'e with a smile.

"What joke is so funny? I heard your laughter from afar.

Oh, Pengpeng, why don't you tell me again so that your Aunt Song can be happy too? "Song Yu'e teased Xu Peng.

Xu Peng never got tired of it. He hurriedly told Song Yu'e again.

"What do you think, Aunt Song?" Xu Peng urged Song Yu'e to comment.

"Let me calm down. Let me calm down. You're such a funny child. That's great. That's great." Song Yu'e laughed until tears came out of her eyes. It took her a long time to calm down.

Seeing that the Qin Jiao next to her was not as quiet as it usually was, Song Yu'e liked Xu Peng very much. Now, she liked him even more.

"Why hasn't Pengpeng come home recently?

Qin Zhao and Jiaojiao are quiet people. You don't know, but the house is usually quiet. Today, when you came, the house immediately became lively. I saw your Uncle Qin smiling more than usual! "Song Yu'e teased Xu Peng.

？？？

Qin Zhao is quiet, Qin Jiao is quiet?

Oh, she was quite quiet now. She just sat there without saying anything, like a snow doll.

Xu Peng thought as he stole a glance at Qin Jiao.

"Hehe, Aunt Song, you're the only one who doesn't dislike me. At home, my mom always dislikes me for being noisy." Xu Peng scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Aiyo, isn't it nice to have a lively family? I can't wait to have such a lovely child like you. Look at Qin Zhao, he only knows how to say 'yes, yes, yes,' and has a cold face all day long. I don't like it."

The onlookers watched the two of them go back and forth, one sentence after another, and there was no end to it.

"Hmm ~ Pengpeng, is your dad back yet?" Qin Weimin coughed and interrupted their conversation.

"My mom said last night that my dad will be back this morning.

I went for a walk with Zhaozi and the others today. When I came back, I left my things here and haven't gone home yet. I don't know if he's back yet. "Xu Peng said blankly.

Song Yu 'e knew that Qin Weimin and Xu Peng's father, Xu Sihai, had just finished lunch. She was stunned for a moment and secretly glared in Qin Weimin's direction.

Qin Jiao, who saw his parents' little actions, was stunned.

She had never thought that one year in this strange world would be as happy as a thousand years in the past.

However, this feeling was not bad.

"Alright, dinner is ready. Come and eat." Wang Chunhua came out to inform everyone.

"Let's go and eat first." Qin Weimin finished speaking and took the lead to walk to the dining room.

After dinner, Xu Peng carried the fruits that Song Yu 'e had prepared and went home with satisfaction.

"There was an emergency meeting this afternoon." Qin Weimin said slowly in the study.

"My grandma was reported?" Qin Zhao said.

Although it was a question, there was no doubt in his tone.

"Yes. Someone wrote a letter to the reform committee and reported that your grandma is a capitalist lady and a hidden cancer of the enjoyment party."

"I guessed it. They were afraid that we were waiting for them to make a big move!

They probably wanted to strike first. "Qin Zhao paused and continued." I guessed that they were going to make a move, but I didn't expect them to be so stupid. "Qin Zhao was full of disdain.

After hearing Qin Zhao's words, Qin Weimin did not say anything. He continued, "I'm an immediate family member, so I can't participate in the investigation. However, your Uncle Xu refuted it on the spot."

"He told your aunt and the others." Qin Weimin thought for a moment and added.

"Does my grandma know?"

"What do you think?"

"The investigation must be carried out in person." Qin Zhao naturally knew about this rule.

It was precisely because he knew about it that he wanted to tear these people apart.

"Tomorrow, you and Jiaojiao move to your grandma's place and live for a while." Qin Weimin whispered to Qin Zhao.

"I don't want to go."

"You don't need to go. Your grandpa, your uncle, and I are not dead!" Qin Weimin scolded Qin Zhao.

"What's more important than your grandma and Jiaojiao?" Qin Weimin questioned Qin Zhao.

"I was wrong."

"Everyone says that you're smart and steady, but it's all in vain." Qin Weimin said angrily.

"I was wrong." Qin Zhao was ashamed.

After a long time, Qin Weimin muttered to himself, "It's just a matter of life and death."

The next day, Qin Zhao and Qin Jiao packed some clothes and moved to Old Lady Qin's place.

"A few days ago, my old comrade sent me some cloth. Although it's made of coarse cotton, I think it's very pretty. It should be good to make a 'mini long dress' (half-length dress). I'll go get it for you to take a look." Then, she got up and walked towards her room.

Qin Jiao's eyes darkened as he watched the small figure disappear through the door.

"What do you think? Do you like it?

If you like it, I'll cut it and start making it. "Old Lady Qin asked.

"I like it."

"Grandma, I'm hungry. I want to eat your steamed eggs." Qin Jiao continued.

"Oh, if you want to eat it, I'll make it for you right away." Hearing Qin Jiao's words, Old Lady Qin quickly put the cloth in her hands aside and went to the kitchen.

Old Lady Qin nimbly cracked two eggs into a bowl, sprinkled a pinch of salt on it, stirred it, and put it into the pot.

As soon as she put the eggs into the pot, tears flowed down her cheeks.

Her granddaughter's heart aches for her.

Old Lady Qin knew why her son sent her grandson and granddaughter to her.

She also knew that her husband and two sons would avenge her.

However, whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of the interrogation that day.

"Yao Shu Hua, your father was a high-ranking official in the old government. You lived a wealthy life since you were a child. You belong to a 'capitalist' family. Do you plead guilty?"

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, you lived a comfortable life. You belong to the 'bourgeoisie' family. Do you plead guilty?"

…

"Do you plead guilty?"

Old Lady Qin never knew that she was guilty …

Back then, her three sons and daughters had sacrificed their lives for the 'cause of revolution'. Today, they had once again used their sacrifice to clear her 'name' …

Old Lady Qin wiped away her tears and straightened her back again.

"Grandma's steamed eggs are so delicious." Old Lady Qin hugged Qin Jiao happily when she saw her granddaughter finish the steamed egg.

"Jiaojiao, if you like it, I'll make more for you tomorrow."

"Okay." Qin Jiao smiled happily in Old Lady Qin's arms.

Old Lady Qin's heart melted as she looked at her granddaughter Jiaojiao in her arms. She wished she could give her the best.

Qin Jiao and Old Lady Qin were getting closer and closer.
