Having made up her mind, Li Jin asked Lin Tao about his plans at the dinner table. Her uncle and aunt looked on expectantly, hoping Lin Tao could find a better future. Lin Tao scratched his head, somewhat shyly saying, "I also want to go out and try my luck. Building houses in the village doesn't seem like a promising career path." Li Jin smiled and said, "Then come with me to Guangzhou. I'm planning to develop in the real estate industry. You can learn from me, and you'll definitely achieve great things." Her uncle and aunt were both surprised and delighted. Her uncle said, "Jin'er, this is too much trouble for you."

Li Jin smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, it's really nothing. I find Xiao Tao to be a very reliable child, and I believe he can do it." Gong Moze, who was standing next to her, nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Lin Tao, when you get out there, you must work hard. If you encounter anything you don't understand, ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao's face flushed with excitement. He nodded vigorously, his voice trembling slightly, "Sister Jin, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely do my best!"

Seeing Lin Tao's excited expression, his aunt's eyes welled up with tears. She said softly, "With the two of you taking care of the child, we can rest assured."

Seeing this, Li Jin quickly comforted him, "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry. Lin Tao is so sensible, he definitely won't let you down. By the way, how about this: Lin Tao will spend the Spring Festival at home this year. After the holiday, you can help him buy a train ticket to Guangzhou. Once you have the ticket, call me and I'll pick him up at the station. If you're really worried about him traveling alone, then he can come back to Beijing with me today, and then we'll go to Guangzhou together after the Spring Festival. That way, we can look after each other."

Upon hearing Li Jin's suggestion, his aunt hesitated for a moment, saying, "Wouldn't going to Beijing be too much trouble for you? And what about your family back there..."

"It's no trouble at all. I have a place to stay over there, and my family definitely won't say anything. Besides, Xiao Tao is my younger brother after all!"

The uncle, however, said firmly: "Let Xiao Tao go to Guangzhou by himself. We'll put him on the bus here, and someone will pick him up there. What's there to worry about? He's all grown up. If he's afraid to even ride alone, he shouldn't travel far!"

At this moment, Lin Tao also stood up and said, "Sister, I'll stay home with my parents for the New Year this year. I can take the train there myself after the New Year!"

Seeing that Lin Tao had already said that, Li Jin didn't say anything more. After breakfast, her uncle instructed, "Xiao Jin, Mo Ze, come back to visit often." Li Jin's eyes reddened slightly. "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, we will." Lin Qi hugged Li Jin and said reluctantly, "Sister Jin, you must come back to see me again soon." Li Jin nodded in agreement.

The car drove smoothly back to the retirement home. Li Jin was still immersed in the emotions of parting with her family, but the thought of picking up Chief Fu to celebrate the New Year together cheered her up. Gong Moze noticed her thoughts and gently took her hand. "Don't be too sad. We'll come back often in the future. It'll be lively celebrating the New Year together after we pick up Chief Fu." Li Jin nodded and smiled slightly.

When they arrived at the retirement home, the warm winter sun shone in the courtyard. Chief Fu was sitting in a wicker chair basking in the sun. When he saw Li Jin and Gong Moze's car arrive, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face. He stood up and slowly came to greet them.

Li Jin said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you ready? If you are, we can set off!"
