Chapter Seventy-Two: Returning Home
According to China's quarantine policy during the epidemic, Yao Jingjing will be quarantined in a designated hotel for 14 days after arriving in Beijing. During the quarantine, she called her parents and informed them of the recent changes, and Yao's father and mother were also surprised, but they were relieved to hear that their daughter had inherited a large inheritance and returned to China safely.
At the end of the 14-day centralized quarantine, Yao Jingjing's nucleic acid test was negative, after which she returned to Penang and quarantined in a designated hotel for another 7 days. Seven days later, when Yao Jingjing walked out of the hotel with her luggage, she saw her father, whom she hadn't seen for five years, driving a taxi to pick her up. When she saw her long-lost father, at that moment, Yao Jingjing burst into tears.
"Dad." Yao Jingjing shouted, then dropped her suitcase and ran to Yao's father.
Yao's father, who was standing next to the car, was also excited, and hugged his daughter with open arms, he hadn't seen him for five years, he also thought about his baby daughter, worried about whether his daughter would live well in a foreign country, whether the food would be in line with the taste, and whether she would sleep unsteadily.
"Dad, I miss you so much."
"Dad misses you too." Yao's father's eyes were also moist, and when he finally saw his daughter, he would definitely not be separated again.
"Dad, why have you lost so much weight." Five years ago, Yao's father was still very round and had a belly, but five years later, he had to lose dozens of pounds, and his stomach was gone.
"It's not like you're thinking yet."
"Dad, I won't leave when I come back this time, I won't leave again."
"Hehe, if you want to leave, your mother and I won't let you go. Let's go, go home, your mother has made a table of dishes for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”
"Yes."
Yao Jingjing has only seen the new house bought by Yao's father and Yao's mother on WeChat video calls, and Yao Jingjing is also excited to set foot in this new house for the first time today.
"Jingjing, this is the first time you have come to this new house, and my mother will take you to have a good visit." Yao's mother pulled Yao Jingjing to tour the house. This house is 120 square meters, three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, the decoration is very Western-style, not very complicated, it is estimated that it will not feel outdated in another ten years.
"Mom, this house, you can see it." After walking around, I looked at all the rooms, and finally Yao Jingjing came to a conclusion.
"That is, in order to buy the house of our choice, your dad and I have changed the whole of Penang, and my legs have become thinner. In the end, I chose this community and bought an existing house. Relatives and friends came over, and they all said that the house is good, the community is green, the property is good, there is a hospital nearby, and it is not far from the bus station, railway station, and commercial street, and it is a good location. ”
Yao Jingjing nodded in agreement.
"Jingjing, come, come over and eat, Mom made a table of dishes today, all of which are your favorite food." As he spoke, the family of three came to the table and sat down. There are all kinds of chickens, ducks and fish on the table, just like the Chinese New Year, Yao Jingjing couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw this, and quickly picked up the chopsticks to eat, God knows how much she misses Chinese food and how much she thinks about her mother's cooking.
"Mom, it's so delicious, you can open a restaurant with this skill."
Seeing that her daughter was eating with relish, Yao's mother smiled dotingly and poured a glass of orange juice for Yao Jingjing.
When Yao Jingjing had almost eaten, Yao's father asked tentatively: "Jingjing, we didn't hear very clearly on the phone last time. You tell us again. How could Sergey suddenly die? ”
Yao Jingjing, who was eating meat, was stunned when she heard the sound, and suddenly lost interest in eating, she swallowed the food in her mouth, sighed, and said: "I also feel very sudden, without any warning, he died in the study, when I rushed to the study, I saw him fall on the chair, there was a pistol on the ground, the police later investigated and said it was a suicide, and I don't believe it, Sergei will not commit suicide, he must have been killed." ”
Yao's father and Yao's mother glanced at each other, their faces were suspicious, and Yao's mother asked, "Jingjing, have you told the police what you think?" ”
"I said it, but the police decided that Sergei committed suicide, and I can't help it."
"What does Sergei's will say?" Yao's father asked.
"I was surprised to mention that. I didn't expect that I would still be able to get a share of the estate, and the lawyer said that Sergei asked him to change his will a month before he died, leaving me about 1.7 billion rubles, which is equivalent to 200 million yuan. The shares, real estate, and funds of other companies were divided among the three children. ”
"This Sergei is quite considerate of you." Yao's mother sighed.
"yes, I didn't expect that." Yao Jingjing sighed.
Father Yao asked at the right time: "Jingjing, then what are your plans in the future?" ”
Yao Jingjing thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being, what happened in the last month is too sudden, and I am not mentally prepared at all." But with these 200 million, in the second half of my life, our family will not have to worry. ”
That's right, Yao's father and Yao's mother nodded in agreement.
"Jingjing, the bride price of 5 million given by Sergei, I bought a house, decoration, and furniture with your father, and it cost less than 1 million, and 4 million was kept for you."
"Mom, this money is what I left you with, you don't have to give it to me anymore. I'm not short of money right now. ”
"We're all old, and we can't afford it."
Yao Jingjing stared at Yao's father and Yao's mother, and suggested: "Dad, Mom, I'm back now, our family is not short of money, and the two of you should also take care of your old age." Dad, sell your taxi, don't drive it, haven't you always had a bad waist, you've been driving for so many years, and it's time to retire. ”
Father Yao smiled, thought about it, and nodded in response: "It's okay, but if you retire suddenly, you don't know what to do all of a sudden." ”
"It's easy to do, you can have a pet, such as a dog, walk with you every day, go to the park, dance square dance with those uncles and aunts, play chess, how good."
"Okay, since Jingjing has spoken, let's do it." Yao's father readily agreed, and now that the family life is better, unlike in the past, he really doesn't have to work so hard to make money.
At this time, Yao's mother asked: "Jingjing, you are 35 years old this year, and you don't have any children, can your mother ask someone to introduce you to a partner?" ”
"Mom, I don't have this idea for the time being, Sergei has only been dead for a month, and his bones are not cold."
"That's the reason, but the problem is that you're 35 years old, and if you don't hurry up and have a baby, it's not good to give birth."
"Well, let it be."
"Yes, yes, Jingjing just came back, don't talk about this kind of thing yet, wait for a while." Yao's father persuaded.
After lunch, Yao Jingjing returned to her bedroom, packed up the clothes in the suitcase, and put the frame of the photo with Sergei into the bedside table. At this time, Ivanova's voice suddenly remembered in the room.
"You have such a good relationship with your parents."
Yao Jingjing turned her head to look and saw Ivanova lying on the bed, looking at her with a smile.
Yao Jingjing also took the opportunity to lie down next to Evanova and sighed: "Of course, I only have their two relatives left in this world now." ”
"No, it's three."
"Three? Who else? ”
"And me! I came to China with you from Russia, am I not your relative? ”
Yao Jingjing smiled, turned sideways and hugged Ivanova, and said, "You're right, I forgot about you, you are also my relative." Thank you for accompanying me back home. ”
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Lin finished the work in the store, sat at the table to rest, opening a restaurant is like this, he is very busy when he catches up with the meal, and when the meal is over, the guests are gone, he can be busy. Tan Lin opened the WeChat circle of friends and looked down, at this time a photo suddenly broke into his eyes, he looked at it, huh? Isn't this Yao Jingjing! In the photo, Yao Jingjing and a man and a woman, two middle-aged people who look to be in their fifties, sit at the dining table and take a group photo, and there are delicious dishes on the table. The accompanying text reads: I finally went home and had a reunion dinner with my parents.
Tan Lin was taken aback and guessed that Yao Jingjing had returned to China. hurriedly sent a voice WeChat message to Yao Jingjing.
"Sister, I saw the circle of friends you posted, have you returned to China?"
After a while, I received Yao Jingjing's reply.
"Brother Tan, yes, I returned to China, and I just came out of the hotel quarantine today."
"You are returning to China to visit relatives, and your husband came back with you?"
"Uh, no, I came back by myself, I, my husband passed away."
Tan Lin was shocked again, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and listened to Yao Jingjing's voice again, confirmed that he heard it correctly, and replied: "Sister, your husband passed away?" This, what's going on? It's so sudden. ”
"Alas, don't mention it, it happened just a month ago, my husband died in the study, I heard gunshots at that time, and after the police investigated, it was determined to be suicide."
"How can you kill yourself? Does he have depression? ”
"Nope. I didn't believe he would have killed himself, but that's what the police believed. ”
"Then, sister, don't blame me for being too talkative, your husband passed away, what about the inheritance, have you got it?" Tan Lin was also worried about Yao Jingjing, afraid that Yao Jingjing would not get anything.
"It's divided, my husband has made a will before he died, and he gave me a copy, which is enough for me to live the rest of my life."
"That's good, I'm worried you won't get anything."
"Actually, I thought the same way, I didn't expect that there would be a copy of the will."
"Sister, which city is your home in? I'll see you in two days. ”
"My home is in a small town in the northeast called Penang. Brother Tan, if you come to see me, tell me your train number in advance, and I will pick you up. ”
"Okay, then it's settled."
A few days later, Tan Lin really came to Penang from Beijing, Yao Jingjing went to the train station to pick up Tan Lin according to the time, and stood at the exit of the station, Yao Jingjing looked forward to it. But I don't know what's going on, I suddenly feel a little dizzy, is it heat stroke? It's not right, although it's early July and it's hot, but the temperature is not very high today, and she won't suffer from heat stroke. And couldn't help but feel dizzy, and a little out of breath, Yao Jingjing simply took off her mask and secretly took a few deep breaths. Could it be that you have a bad stomach in the morning? Just when Yao Jingjing was puzzled, a loud male voice suddenly sounded.
