Eating Melons and Watching the Show in a Chronicles Novel

As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.

She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...

Chapter 556 She said I have a tough life!

“I also think it would be better for you to develop your career in Xiangdu first.”

Lin Jingyu shared her perspective: "You can learn about diverse design in Xiangdu, and we mainlanders tend to maintain a more traditional mindset."

If you stay in China, you can only innovate from the old and design a style that suits the aesthetics of our people, which will be quite difficult for you.

I think you should spend more time absorbing popular trends. After some time, it will be easier for you to come back and innovate.

"I think so too."

Peng Shiyu nodded. "So I plan to stay in Xiangdu for a few more years before returning to Beijing to develop my career. Jingyu, you can't just abandon me."

"Do you need me to tell you what to do?"

Lin Jingyu chuckled, "You little rascal, you can take off all by yourself. Just don't look down on me when you fly high in the future."

"Sister Jingyu, what are you saying?"

Peng Shiyu immediately became unhappy, "I'm not that kind of person. I'm planning to stick with you for the rest of my life. You can forget about getting rid of me."

"As long as you don't find me annoying."

Lin Jingyu poured her more tea. "How are your family members? I haven't seen your grandfather and parents for quite some time."

"Okay, everything is fine."

Peng Shiyu nodded and muttered, "We just set a wedding date, and my mom is already starting to prepare my dowry and stuff."

They don't even realize there's still more than half a year to go, there's no need to rush.

She used to be eager for me to get married, but now that the wedding date is set, she's starting to feel reluctant.

I'm truly exasperated by these elders!

"It all boils down to caring about you."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "I hope you are happy, and I also hope that you have someone by your side."

When you finally have to leave her, of course you'll feel reluctant.

Actually, you'll be the same way.

"Fortunately, we are all in the capital, so it is relatively easy for us to meet."

Peng Shiyu looked relieved. "Those who are willing to marry into other provinces are too foolish. It's too difficult for them to see their families when they want to."

I haven't seen my parents for years. They don't know what's wrong with me, and they don't know what's wrong with me.

I would never abandon my parents who raised me for over twenty years for a man.

Whether your parents are good or bad, you know in your heart, and you should also know how to treat them.

Anyway, I can't live without my family for the rest of my life.

"Well, that's good too."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "Everyone makes different choices. At least our family treats us very well, and we are willing to rely on our parents. We hope that our parents will continue to pamper and care for us, so naturally we can't bear to part with them."

“Jingyu is right, I just can’t bear to leave my parents.”

After Peng Shiyu finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, "Actually, my mother doesn't really want me to go to Xiangdu again. She's afraid something might happen to us."

It's all my aunt's fault. She spoke to my mother in a sarcastic tone, saying that I was tough and could brave bullets and gunfire. No wonder she's from the Peng family.

She even said things like, "No wonder others wouldn't let me go," which made my mom so angry she almost turned on her.

I never imagined my aunt was this kind of person. In my memory, she was a very nice person, always smiling and speaking kindly to everyone.

I never expected that she would change so much. She's like a completely different person, someone I don't even recognize anymore.

I told my mom what I was thinking, and she laughed at me for being so young, thinking that everyone would be good.

Judging from what my mother said, my aunt's personality has probably always been like this; I just didn't know it.

"This time, I've really dragged you into this mess."

Lin Jingyu looked guilty. "You should also be careful when you go to Xiangdu this time. Your safety should be the top priority."

But don't worry, I'll remember this attack.

I will repay them tenfold as soon as I get the chance.

"Sister Jingyu, I'm not blaming you."

Peng Shiyu quickly said in a coquettish tone, "I was just upset that my aunt was picking a fight with my mom, so I couldn't help but complain to you."

"I know."

Lin Jingyu responded with a smile, "The facts are the facts, and I know you won't blame me for dragging everyone down, but there's no need to deny it."

I don't care what others say.

Especially those who have nothing to do with me, I'll just let them go as they are.

Hehe~

Peng Shiyu covered her mouth and laughed, "Let's not talk about spoilsports. Sister Jingyu, when are you going back to Xiangdu?"

"I should make time to go there for two days during the awards ceremony."

Lin Jingyu pointed to the things on the table, "At least for the rest of this year, I need to keep an eye on things in Beijing."

I've already left Brother Lu in the south. Once I can get rid of things here in the capital, I'll head south to Luofu.

We want to build our base there.

If you work hard over the next two years, try to accumulate some funds. Luofu is a special economic zone, and the country will provide strong support.

Don't miss the opportunity to develop here.

"Xiangdu, the capital, and Luofu..."

Peng Shiyu felt a headache coming on. "Sister Jingyu, can we manage all this?"

"able."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "You see, I understand now. I'll leave Xiangdu to Sister Wenxiu and her husband to keep an eye on, I'll have Li Moyu keep an eye on the capital, and as for Luofu, I'll have Brother Lu take charge."

Although my focus will shift from the capital to Luo Fu, I will go wherever I am needed to handle problems.

We can't stay in one place for long.

No.

We should know people well and make good use of their strengths. We should strictly select and appoint people. With them doing the work, we only need to grasp the direction.
