Chapter 135: Lin Mei and Li Heyu get married...

The day after Lin Mei and Li Heyu got married, the Yu family also began preparing what they would take to the capital.

Most importantly, you must have nationally valid receipts ready.

The receipts Yu Jiajia had were valid nationwide. She gave Cheng Xiuying a stack of them, enough for the whole family to eat, drink, and have fun in Beijing.

Cheng Xiuying carefully put away the receipts and gave Yu Jia 73.8 yuan, in both small and large amounts. This was the price Cheng Xiuying had calculated after estimating the market price, ensuring that Yu Jia would not be taken advantage of.

Then everyone was asked to contribute 20 yuan each, of which 73.8 yuan was for receipts, and the remainder would be used as public funds for a trip to Beijing, with food and lodging provided. After seeing the world, who could just look at it? Wouldn't the steaming hot pot smell delicious? Wouldn't the glistening Peking duck of Beijing tempt you? The money would be covered by public funds.

When everyone goes out to have fun, everyone has to chip in.

Cheng Xiuying didn't ask for much of her children's wages, only asking them to pay for living expenses. Now, it's definitely impossible for her to help them with their money.

She and Yu Hongding save their salaries and don't use them to subsidize the extended family; she only subsidizes their four children.

She added, "Father and Mother, if you don't have the money, you don't need to contribute. Hongding and I will contribute more."

Grandma Yu waved her hands repeatedly, "No way, your father and I have pensions, we'll pay for it ourselves." She excitedly took out forty yuan and handed it to Cheng Xiuying, which was her and Grandpa Yu's money.

The two were ecstatic. In their old age, they were actually going to Beijing to attend the National Day celebrations! They were going to see the Chairman, the real Chairman!

Then, from Yu Songqing to Yu Jiajia, everyone took out two ten-yuan bills and handed them to Cheng Xiuying.

As for Yu Songchuan, he doesn't need to be paid; Cheng Xiuying will deduct it from his previous bonus.

Cheng Xiuying held a stack of money and bills and said with a smile, "I'll keep track of the accounts and make up the difference if anything is missing."

With the most important money and tickets all gathered, all that's left is to prepare everyone's belongings.

Actually, everyone was already prepared.

Clothes, toiletries, money.

Although everyone handed over twenty yuan, they also prepared extra cash coupons, which were nationally valid coupons that they had exchanged with Yu Jiajia.

As for food, we'll prepare it before we leave.

In addition, and most importantly, work must be arranged properly, and all necessary handovers must be completed. We cannot let our trip to Beijing for the National Day celebrations cause any delays.

Yu Jiajia's work is easy to arrange; Zhou Liang will temporarily manage it. If Zhou Liang can't solve something, he can go to Deputy Factory Director Gao.

Liu Weidong and Lin Mei will also go to Beijing to participate in the celebration as outstanding workers, peasants and soldiers of the steel rolling mill.

However, they did not travel with Yu Jiajia's family; instead, they went with outstanding representatives from the county revolutionary committee.

On September 10, Lu Chenzhou delivered the train tickets. They were to go to the city to take the train on September 12, departing at 11:00 AM and arriving in Beijing at 9:30 AM the next morning.

Lu Chenzhou and Qi Yan went to the capital with the Yu family.

You don't need to prepare too much food, as meals are provided on the train.

On September 11, everyone checked the items they needed to bring. Yu Jiajia had three suitcases in total. She kept two suitcases for her own clothes and lent the other one to Cheng Xiuying.

Although meals were provided on the train, the Yu family still prepared spicy meat sauce, boiled tea eggs, and baked a stack of fried dough sticks.

Neighbors and relatives also brought snacks for the Yu family to take on the road.

Cheng Xiuying thanked everyone, but she didn't stay. She told everyone to take the food back with them, saying, "The train provides meals. If we can't finish all this, it would be such a waste."

After talking for a while, everyone else left.

That leaves the Yu Hongzhi family and the Cheng family.

Yu Hongzhi and Kang Wenjuan brought roast chicken and pig's trotters, both of which keep well. Looking at their excited parents, they were filled with envy. No wonder their parents wanted to stay at their second son's house; they even wanted to stay there themselves.

I can go to Beijing! I can meet the Chairman! I can participate in the National Day celebrations!

Grandma Yu: "I'll take lots of photos when I get back and show them to you. They'll also give you a glimpse of Beijing and broaden your horizons."

Yu Hongzhi: "Mom, thank you so much."

Wu Chunlan squeezed to the front: "Grandma, then you can take more pictures of us, so we can see what it's like." She added: "Grandma, why don't you just bring Huaiyuan along? Huaiyuan is all grown up and sensible now. He can run errands for you and go to the capital to see what it's like."

Yu Huaiyuan looked up at Grandma Yu with his little face full of anticipation.

In the past, Grandma Yu would have softened her heart and wanted to take Xiao Huaiyuan with her before Wu Chunlan even had to speak. But things are different now.

Before she could refuse, Kang Wenjuan took two pieces of candy from her pocket: "Go eat some candy and play."

Yu Huaiyuan was only four or five years old, so he had no idea what fun things were in the capital. His grandmother gave him a handful of candy, and he forgot everything else and happily ate the candy.

Kang Wenjuan glared at Wu Chunlan. She was so scheming. Didn't she even think about whether this was feasible? If she could go with them, she would want to go too. She said, "Chunlan, work hard and make more contributions. When you make a first-class merit, you can take our whole family to Beijing to participate in the National Day celebrations."

Wu Chunlan dared not say anything more.

Grandma Yu said, "Wenjuan, you are the most sensible one."

That evening, Yu Jiajia took advantage of taking a shower to enter the Space Farm.

First, she went to see the fat ginseng. The ginseng was growing very well in the space and was even cuter than before. Yu Jiajia watered the fat ginseng with well water from time to time.

Judging from its growth, this ginseng is now over 150 years old.

The number of years has doubled.

Yu Jiajia was also unsure about this change in time, because time outside was paused after she entered the space.

But for her in the outside world, time flows on within that space.

She hadn't stayed in the space for long and didn't know if she would grow old.

Yu Jiajia cleared out another plot of land, about five or six square meters, and planted seeds of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. After watering them with well water, they grew very well and could become ginseng that was sixty or seventy years old in a very short time.

This makes ginseng and lingzhi seem like common cabbage.

Yu Jiajia dug up a ginseng that was sixty or seventy years old, found one that was similar to the fat ginseng she had encountered on the mountain last time, and put it in her space to process and dry it.

Keep it to give to the Prime Minister's wife.

She wanted to plant a few more fruit trees, but she didn't have any seeds.

No rush, there are plenty of fruit platters left in the space farm.

She stood on the fence and looked out. The scenery outside was even more pleasant, like a paradise, with mountains, water, trees and grass. Several little rabbits darted past, and they were very fat!

Spicy rabbit meat would definitely be delicious.

She stayed in the space for a while longer before leaving.

That night, everyone except Yu Jiajia was too excited to sleep.

The next day, the whole family got up early and put on clean and tidy clothes. Yu Jiajia wore a sky blue shirt and black straight-leg pants, with a pair of small leather shoes on her feet.

Her hair was simply braided into two braids.

Cheng Xiuying also dressed up carefully, wearing a cadre uniform, her clothes were neat and her hair was tidy, and she looked particularly energetic and imposing.

If it were just a train journey, there would be no need for such elaborate attire. But this trip is different; representatives from the steel mill and other sister companies will come to see them off as they head to Beijing for the National Day celebrations!

That would be such an honor!

The entire steel rolling mill was bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of gongs and drums. Amidst this joyful atmosphere, the Yu family boarded a bus bound for the city.

Even after the car had driven quite a distance, you could still hear the sound of gongs and drums.

Cheng Xiuying leaned against the window and looked out, her mouth practically stretched to the back of her ears.

How come the Yu family manages to live such a good life?

Yu Jiajia took out her camera from her bag and took a group photo of everyone.

Everyone was excited and thrilled; they looked incredibly photogenic.

Then he handed the camera to Lu Chenzhou and asked him to take a picture of the Yu family.

The whole family squeezed into the aisle of the bus, arms around each other's shoulders, grinning from ear to ear. Yu Jiajia even made a peace sign with her free hand.

Lu Chenzhou took a picture of everyone, but his eyes were on Yu Jiajia. He couldn't help but adjust the focus and take another close-up of Yu Jiajia.

After taking the photos, everyone finally sat down.

Cheng Xiuying was in a great mood, her face glowing. She stood up from her seat, walked a few steps to the front of the carriage, waved her hand, and began to sing: "The East is Red, the sun rises, let's sing!"

"The East is Red, the sun rises. China has produced Chairman Mao."

He strives for the happiness of the people.

Hooray!

He is the great savior of the people.

Everyone clapped their hands, shook their heads, and sang along. The bus was filled with loud singing, and even the driver sang along loudly.

"The East Is Red," "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman," "The Sun Is Reddest, Chairman Mao Is the Dearest"...

They sang one song after another.

Anyone who hears this will have to say that the Yu family is both politically sound and professionally competent!

When they arrived at Zhou City Railway Station, everyone sang all the way, and they became even more excited.

Everyone picked up their luggage and entered the station!

Yu Jiajia brought two suitcases, which were mostly filled with clothes and shoes.

She kept her camera in her shoulder bag so she could take pictures anytime, and she didn't have to carry her own luggage, as everyone else helped her carry it.

Cheng Xiuying held Yu Jiajia's hand and said, "Sibao, stay close to me. There are the most human traffickers at the train station."

Yu Jiajia said, "It's good that the human traffickers have their eyes on me. Let's take them all down."

Cheng Xiuying actually found this statement to be quite reasonable!

She looked at her four children, who were as beautiful as fairies, dressed up so nicely, and radiant in the crowd. If there were human traffickers, they would definitely keep an eye on them! However, the whole Yu family was with them, along with Lu Chenzhou and Qi Yan.

Lu Chenzhou and Qi Yan both brought their secretaries.

Lu Chenzhou's secretary, Huang Shuo, was very elegant and handsome.

Qi Yan's secretary, Ning Xia, is a sweet girl with long hair; she's incredibly beautiful.

Cheng Xiuying had Yu Jiajia and Ning Xia walk in front, while the rest of them walked separately. She instructed Qi Yan and Yu Jiamin to tone down their imposing manner and see if they could attract the attention of the bad guys.

Yu Jiajia and Ningxia are both very young and beautiful. Their eyes are clear and bright, and they look innocent and naive. They are obviously well protected by their families and have never experienced the dangers of the world.

If there really were human traffickers, it would be an outrageous act not to abduct such a perfect "prey".
