Chapter 228: Near Nostalgia
The distance from Huludao to Qingdao is about 800 kilometers. Although the speed of the ship is not fast, only 15 knots, it can be reached in just two days and one night.
As Qingdao got closer, Gao Jin became a little restless. She had fallen out with her family and signed up to work in the Northeast. Although she later let go of this dispute under Qin Zheng's persuasion and spoke with her father during the communication, which was considered to be a reconciliation with her family, this time she had been away from home for the first time after leaving home for nearly two years. At this time, she also felt a little timid. Therefore, after the boat on Huludao, she became restless and was a little dazed, which made her assistant and entourage feel at a loss. Bi Jing had never seen Gao Jin like this.
I didn't sleep all night on the boat, and my mind was thinking about why I got impulsive and had a quarrel with my family two years ago. This time I went home to see my parents, how could I face them...
When he woke up the next morning, Gao Jin had no appetite. He only ate two bites of breakfast, so he said he didn't want to eat it. After leaving the restaurant, Chen Jingang, who had eaten with her, found it very strange. Although he had not been in contact with Gao Jin for a long time, in his impression, Gao Jin was a smart and capable person who acted cleanly and profitably, and never dragged his feet. Suddenly, he changed a lot. Therefore, he couldn't help but ask Ouyang Longxing: "What's wrong with Mayor Gao? It seems that he was not normal after getting on the boat yesterday."
Ouyang Longxing and Gao Jin worked together for a while, and they heard Gao Jin talk about the conflict between her and her family during chats, so they could understand Gao Jin's mood. However, this was Gao Jin's family affairs after all, so it was hard to explain to Chen Jingang in detail, and only said, "It seems like this, I probably have something to worry about."
After all, Chen Jingang was not familiar with Gao Jin, so he didn't care much after hearing this. After the two of them had breakfast, they left. Ouyang Longxing originally wanted to go back to his room to rest, but when he passed by the stern, he saw Gao Jin standing on the side of the tail, staring at the rolling waves on the sea in a daze.
Ouyang Longxing hesitated for a moment, walked over and said, "Mayor Gao."
Gao Jin turned around and saw that it was Ouyang Longxing, and said, "Teacher Ouyang."
Ouyang Longxing said: "Since you got on the boat yesterday, something seems to be wrong. Are you worried about seeing your family?"
Gao Jin nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Yes, it makes you laugh. I was really too impulsive at the beginning. I said some excessive words, which hurt my parents' hearts. Although I apologized to my dad on the phone, I still don't know how to face my family when I returned to Qingdao this time, so I faced my parents."
Ouyang Longxing said: "I really think you are thinking too much."
Gao Jin was stunned and said, "Did I think too much?"
Ouyang Longxing said: "Yes! I think your family is actually your father, so you don't care what you said at the beginning. The best result is that you can go home."
Gao Jin was stunned for a while, then recalled for a while, and said, "Why do you think so? You probably haven't seen my parents before."
Ouyang Longxing laughed and said, "Because you are a family, since you are a family, there is nothing you can't turn over, so I said you don't have to worry at all." He paused and said, "Actually, it's really lucky to have family members. There are more than 6,000 people, and a few of us have families, let alone a family like your family. How lucky is this, so do you care about what you said before? So don't think about how to face your parents, and after meeting, it will naturally be solved."
Gao Jin pondered for a while, finally nodded and said, "I understand, thank you, Commander Ouyang."
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the ship arrived at Qingdao Port. Gao Jin, Ouyang Longxing, Chen Jingang and others got off the gangway. They saw 7 or 8 people waiting in front of the gangway, both men, women, and young and old. The leader was an old lady in her 60s, who was Gao Jin's mother Lu Yuehong.
Although he was still a little hesitant when he was down the gangway, when he saw me, Gao Jin immediately made a noise and forgot all the hesitant things. He quickly walked down the gangway, rushed towards Lu Yuehong and shouted: "Mom, Mom."
When the mother and daughter met, they hugged each other immediately. Gao Jinji couldn't help but cry. Lu Yuehong patted her on the back, and her voice was choked, saying, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
A couple who looked about 30 years old beside him persuaded him, and the man said, "Mom, sister is back, this is a good thing, why are you crying?"
The woman advised Gao Jin, "Sister, it's good that you're back, don't be sad, let's go over the past."
Two people persuaded each other, and Lu Yuehong and Gao Jin stopped their sad voices. Gao Jin then greeted them. It turned out that the couple was Gao Jin's younger brother Gao Zhen and his sister-in-law Zhou Lihong.
After greeting each other, Zhou Lihong said to the two girls next to her: "Huilan, Huifang, go see your god."
It turned out that this pair of girls was a pair of orphan sisters adopted by Gao Jin. Now they all follow Gao Jin's surname. The sister is Gao Huilan, she is 13 years old, and her sister is Gao Huifang, she is 10 years old.
After hearing Zhou Lihong's words, the two immediately threw themselves into Gao Jin's arms, calling their mother and crying. At this time, Gao Jin felt a little guilty. He left Qingdao willfully and went to work in Northeast China. Not only did he leave his family, but he also left the pair of daughters at home. Therefore, he also hugged the two sisters and touched their heads, saying, "It's not good that mom, I shouldn't leave you at home and ignore you."
Then he looked at the two of them again and said, "We are all so tall. Are you okay to live at home?"
Lu Yuehong interrupted and said, "Don't worry? Don't worry? Don't think you don't want these two daughters. As long as I'm at home, you won't be wronged. Those kids have them, they all have them, and they don't think they are outsiders."
Gao Jin felt even more guilty and said, "Mom, it's my fault, I shouldn't..."
Lu Yuehong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't you know you yet! He ignored everything as soon as he got up, and your father told me that he would call you, and it would be fine if he came back now."
Zhou Lihong also said, "Yes! Sister, it's good that you're back. Don't mention the past. Let's go home together. The family is ready. Today, as long as people in Qingdao are coming back for dinner. Uncle Liu and others are also here to welcome you home."
Let’s pick up Gao Jin and a few juniors, and they all came over to call my aunt. It was very lively for a while. At this time, Gao Zhen said, “Sister, are those two your colleagues?”
Gao Jin then remembered that he had just been talking to his family and forgot Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang. They probably didn't want to say hello and left. As a result, they kept waiting and hurried over and said, "Teacher Ouyang, Commander Chen, I'm so embarrassed, I..."
Ouyang Longxing smiled and said, "Mayor Gao, it's good that your family will be reunited, congratulations."
Gao Jin then introduced them to each other. Because they were all veterans, they were not seen each other. Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang all called Aunt Lu Yuehong, Gao Jin also called Gao Huilan, and Gao Huifang called Uncle, which was considered to have known each other. When Ouyang Longxing was in Jinzhou, he knew that Gao Jin had adopted two daughters and prepared two small gifts, two wood carved ponies, and gave them to the two sisters.
After everyone was polite to each other, Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang said goodbye to Gao Jin, and Lu Yuehong said, "Don't leave either. If there is no one else at home, go home with us and have a meal."
Ouyang Longxing smiled and said, "Auntie, we won't disturb you from reuniting your family. We will go to see you when you have time in a few days." He said to Gao Jin again, "Mayor Gao, we won't disturb you from reuniting your family."
Gao Jin nodded and said, "Teacher Ouyang, it's really inconvenient today. I'll find a place in two days to treat me."
Ouyang Longxing also nodded and said, "Okay, Mayor Gao, then we'll leave first." After saying that, Ouyang Longxing and Chen Jingang left with their own guards.
Gao Jin said to Lu Yuehong: "Mom, let's go back."
Lu Yuehong said: "Do they have a home in Qingdao?"
Gao Jin said: "It seems that there is no home. I remember that neither of them has a family."
Lu Yuehong said: "Damn girl, even though they have not yet started a family, why do you tell them to leave? They are all veterans and your colleagues. I finally returned to Qingdao and asked them to have a meal together! Otherwise, they would have to go back to the cafeteria to eat! Why don't they understand this principle?"
Gao Jin frowned and said, "Mom, what are you saying?"
Zhou Lihong hurriedly said, "Mom, today we are obviously holding a family banquet and reunion, and we are all from our own family. So they are so embarrassed to come to the house for dinner! Didn't they say that they will come to see you in a few days, and I said that my sister doesn't have to treat you outside, so she just treats them to dinner at home. Then call dad back and we all know each other. Isn't that good?"
Lu Yuehong nodded and said, "This is the same." He said to Gao Jin again, "I'll invite them to the house for dinner in two days."
Gao Jin was also a little amused and cried. He just said something polite, so why did my mother take it seriously? However, as soon as the mother and daughter met, she didn't want to sing the opposite tune with her mother, so she followed Lu Yuehong's tone and said: "Okay, okay, we'll finish our work in a few days, I'll invite them to my house for dinner."
Lu Yuehong stopped talking and said, "Okay, go home."
