The Red Star Brigade has been very busy lately.

The old Party Secretary originally had high hopes for the Huo family's children.

But now that everyone else is going to Beijing, he has to find another target.

The two successors that the captain had originally groomed, his two sons, were no longer of any use.

Just search within the brigade.

Finally, after discussing it, the two decided to choose two slightly younger people.

Young people have ideas and abilities, unlike these old guys.

As people get old, their minds also become rotten.

Niu Erhua was shocked when she learned that her niece was going to Beijing with her.

She never imagined that her third son would be so capable, managing to bring the whole family to the city all by himself!

She excitedly returned to her parents' home.

"Big brother, big brother, your daughter is going to Beijing."

"It'll probably be difficult to see each other again in the future!"

Niu Dahua's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

"You know that the third son of the Huo family went to Beijing!"

"He wrote to say that the entire Huo family should go there."

"This time, Cui Cui will also go and enjoy a life of luxury."

"See? What do you think of my judgment? Now that Cuicui is a city dweller, you can just wait to enjoy the good life!"

But...

If this person goes to the city, he will come back even less often.

Niu Dahua nodded: "I didn't expect it to be so fast. In less than two years, they have already established a foothold in Beijing!"

Niu Erhua poured herself a glass of water and waved her hand, "What's the big deal? The third brother's wife's family is from Beijing. Her parents are both educated and wealthy!"

While Niu Dahua was happy, he was also a little sad, thinking about how far away this place was.

It will be difficult to meet again in the future.

When are they leaving?

"It seems they said we have to wait, the battalion commander needs to find a new battalion commander."

Niu Dahua was planning what to bring for his daughter, even though he would need the help of Huo's third son and the others when they arrived.

Ultimately, they still have to rely on themselves.

You should bring more money.

He has already started preparing.

As soon as Niu Erhua left, he immediately told his wife to take out all the money in the house.

"Take out all the money we have at home. We can't let my daughter suffer. Prepare more for her."

"When you arrive in an unfamiliar place, you'll inevitably need money."

He counted the money in his house and found that it totaled less than five hundred yuan.

He planned to scrape together 500 yuan and take it to his daughter in a couple of days.

On the Red Star Brigade side, Huo Jianguo and his men are packing their things every day.

They didn't have many clothes, mostly just blankets and such.

When the captain arrived, they had piled it up to the brim.

"You packed so much? That's way too much!"

"You don't need to take all the blankets. Are you not coming back?"

"This is too much. Take a little first, and you can take more when you come back later."

The captain felt a headache coming on.

With so much stuff, it would be difficult to even squeeze onto a train.

Huo Changlin waved his hand: "Stop pretending, this is too much. We also have to bring the children and luggage. Can we even carry it all?"

Huo Jianguo thought about it and agreed. He packed a package for himself and brought two sets of blankets for his family.

The rest of the things can be left at home; we can get them when we come back later.

At this moment, Huo Changlan also arrived.

"Brother, I've been looking for you! What are you doing here?"

Huo Changlin feels irritated whenever he sees her now.

What do you want from me?

Huo Changlan: "Big brother, have you asked the third brother if he'll let me go?"

"If you leave, I'll be all alone. How am I supposed to survive?"

Huo Changlin: "Just live your life as you normally would. You've been living just fine all these years without us."

"Alright, I've been very busy these past few days and haven't had time to go to the commune."

"We'll talk about it when we have time."

Huo Changlan was unhappy, and her older brother immediately realized that he was just trying to appease her.

Ever since her second brother left, her eldest brother has always been cold and indifferent to her.

Needless to say, her sister-in-law would run away as soon as she saw her, not wanting to say a word to her.

For the next few days, Huo Changlan went to Huo Changlin every day to ask if the third brother would let her go.

The result, naturally, disappointed her.

That day, Huo Jianguo and Niu Cuicui were tidying up at home.

Huo Jianguo bought several locks and planned to lock all the doors in his house.

His father-in-law then arrived.

"I heard you were leaving, so I came to see if you've packed everything."

Niu Cuicui smiled and said, "Dad, I was just thinking of packing up and going back to tell you!"

"Everything is packed up. There's not much stuff. Just make sure the things left at home are put away and covered up properly."

Niu Dahua didn't linger, stuffing five hundred yuan into his daughter's hand: "Take this five hundred yuan, you'll need it a lot when you get there."

"Don't expect your third son to provide both money and effort for anything!"

"Having money in hand makes you feel at ease."

Niu Cuicui's eyes turned red, and she pushed him away, trying to return the money to her father.

This money is probably all the family has.

There's money in there for my brother's wedding too!

What will happen to my brother if she takes them all?

"Dad, I can't take it, it's too much, my brother isn't married yet!"

Niu Lei waved his hand: "Little sister, Dad told you to take it, so just take it!"

"My family can't help you much, but I'm counting on you to give me a hand in the future!"

He said it frankly and openly, completely in a joking tone.

As soon as he said that, everyone in the courtyard laughed.

With red eyes, Niu Cuicui said, "Don't worry, I can forget anyone but my older brother."

Niu Dahua laughed and said, "Alright, when are you leaving? Go home early for a meal and bring the two kids with you."

He left with his son.

After he left, Niu Cuicui cried bitterly.

"Huo Jianguo, I don't want to leave! I want to stay at home, even if I never see my parents again."

Huo Jianguo reassured them, "How could that be? We've established a firm foothold over there."

“If a good opportunity arises, we can also bring your parents over.”

"We'll still be able to be together then!"

Niu Cuicui nodded in satisfaction.

A few days later, it was time for them to set off.

Huo Changlin still had brotherly and sisterly feelings for Huo Changlan!

He also felt that it was difficult for her to live alone in the brigade.

I left her 100 yuan.

"Changlan, we're leaving now. Here's a hundred yuan for you. Be careful with it; you'll have to rely on yourself from now on."

Huo Changlan also wanted to go along.

But her eldest brother disagreed, her second brother wouldn't agree, and her third brother wouldn't let her go.

Yan Hua was driving a tractor to take them to the station.

The luggage was gradually loaded onto the car.

It was piled up in the carriage like a small mountain.

Their large family, including all the members, numbered seventeen.
