In fact, ever since Ding Meixiang learned that the person who saved her was her own mother, she has become no different from her own mother.

During the past few days, he has worked hard and helped with the chores without complaint, and he has also gotten along quite well with his mother-in-law, Song Qinglian.

Although everyone says it's not good for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to live together for a long time, if her mother-in-law is good, Yun Duoduo is very willing to treat her as one of her own.

When Ding Meixiang heard that she could earn money every month, she hesitated for a moment, but then shook her head and said with a smile, "Duoduo, your father and I won't come. We're used to living in the countryside and are quite happy at home. As for Dongdong, I'll ask him. If he's willing, I'll have your father and your older brother bring him with them when I go back. I'm just worried that you won't have time to take care of him."

That works too. Anyway, Yun Duoduo's family has decided to come here. They'll come once they've settled things at home. It's fine if they bring Dongdong along.

Yun Duoduo didn't force Ding Meixiang. She nodded and said, "It's alright, let her come. There are so many people in our family, we can take care of her."

Yun Duoduo had already thought of this, but she didn't bring it up because she was worried that Ding Meixiang wouldn't agree.

Since Ding Meixiang brought it up herself, how could Yun Duoduo refuse?

She always felt that Dongdong was different from other children. Regardless of whether he was her younger brother from her previous life, she wanted to keep him by her side and nurture him properly.

"Alright then." Ding Meixiang was very happy. She held Yun Duoduo's hand and said gratefully, "Duoduo, Dongdong is here, so I'll have to trouble you. You said you're the eldest sister-in-law and you also have to take care of your younger brother-in-law, which has lightened my burden a lot. I'm so grateful to you."

This is also one of the reasons why Ding Meixiang is willing to treat Yun Duoduo like her own daughter. In fact, in their village, most sisters-in-law reject their brothers-in-law.

Especially for children like Yan Dongdong, who are very young and a burden on their families.

But Yun Duoduo never thought that way. She even paid for her brother-in-law's schooling herself, and she was genuinely grateful.

Speaking of this, she remembered something else and said to Yun Duoduo and the other girl, "By the way, eldest, now that Dongdong is coming here, you don't need to send living expenses home anymore. Your dad and I don't spend much money at home. The work we do in the fields all year round is enough for us to eat and wear."

"Use that money to cover Dongdong's food, drink, and tuition here."

Yan Junting glanced at Yun Duoduo, and Yun Duoduo smiled at him.

Yan Junting knew his wife wouldn't keep the money, so he casually replied, "It's settled, Mother. I understand."

That evening, Ding Meixiang packed her bags to go home.

Yun Duoduo bought two sets of winter clothes and shoes for Ding Meixiang and Yan Gusheng, and asked her to take them back.

The next day, after lunch, Yan Junting and Yun Duoduo took a bus to send Ding Meixiang to the train station.

On the way, Yun Duoduo slipped twenty yuan into Ding Meixiang's bundle.

When they were at home, they tried to give money to Ding Meixiang, but she refused to accept it no matter what.

The main reason was that after seeing how hard Yun Duoduo was working to earn money here, she felt really embarrassed to squander that money anymore.

Besides, whether it's the Yun family or the Li family, they always help Duoduo. Those with money contribute money, and those with strength contribute strength. They always try their best to reduce the burden on the two children. How could she have the nerve to keep asking for more?

Moreover, even if she disregarded the hardships the two of them had endured, she still wanted to prove her son's worth.

The parents-in-law on both sides did their best to help the young couple; they couldn't offer much help, but they didn't want to hold them back.

Yun Duoduo is the kind of person who is never stingy when it comes to gifts from her family. Besides, they don't lack money now, so there's no need to be so calculating.

Even if Dongdong comes, the money that needs to be sent back will still be sent, so this time the amount given will not be much.

After seeing Ding Meixiang off on the train, it was already half the afternoon.

Perfect timing! Everything at Yun Duoduo's factory has been settled. With Yan Qiuting and her second brother Yun Zhijie overseeing things, she feels at ease.

She planned to go back to the compound with Yan Junting.

After Yun Zhijie decided to stay in Kyoto, Yun Duoduo asked him to contact Li Yunfeng and the others to discuss the shipment.

Every day, Li Yunfeng and his men would arrive at seven o'clock sharp to pick up the goods, and Li Yunfeng would prepare them.

Yun Duoduo had already made up her mind; she would still go back to live in the compound every day from now on.

Firstly, Yan Junting is an officer who needs to manage a group of subordinates in the army, so he can't always be away from the army.

Moreover, there are many things to do in the military, so he can't go to get off work and leave work on time every day. Sometimes, even after he has finished get off work, the military will still contact him from time to time. Since he lives in the shop, it will affect his work.

Secondly, she is a military wife, and she should act like one.

If you don't go back to the compound all year round, then what was the point of applying for such a large compound in the first place? It just makes people gossip behind your back.

Perfect timing! If she comes back to live here, the room over there will be vacant, and the room in the dormitory will become more flexible.

Even after we hire more people, we can't have too many people crammed into one courtyard.

After thinking it over, Yun Duoduo decided to go back today to tidy up the courtyard, buy all the necessary items, and also buy some food to take back. She plans to eat breakfast and dinner at the courtyard and work at the shop during lunch.

The two came out of the train station. Yun Duoduo planned to take the bus back, but Yan Junting suddenly grabbed her and pointed to a large department store nearby. "Honey, you haven't been out shopping since you came to Kyoto. Let's go in and buy you some clothes."

This shopping mall is located near the train station and is currently the largest department store in Kyoto. Yun Duoduo has not yet been there.

But when she heard that Yan Junting wanted to buy her clothes, she laughed, "Don't you know what I do? Why would I need to buy clothes outside?"

But Yan Junting was still unwilling to give up and pulled her to continue walking inside, saying, "Let's look at something else too."

Yan Junting looked like he was there to shop, but it probably wasn't his first time. After entering, he immediately pulled Yun Duoduo to the back of the mall, where they walked to a bicycle shop.

Yan Junting walked around for a while, then suddenly pointed to a bicycle displayed in the center of the mall and showed it to Yun Duoduo, "Wife, come and take a look, what do you think of this bicycle?"

"You want to buy this kind of bicycle?" Yun Duoduo walked over and stared at the bicycle for a moment.

At that time, bicycles were all very large and heavy, commonly known as "28-inch bicycles".

However, what Yan Junting saw was clearly shorter and lighter than the 28-inch standard, and it also lacked a front bar.

The bicycle salesperson, seeing that the two wanted to buy, immediately came over and enthusiastically introduced the bicycle to them, "Gentlemen, this is a women's bicycle, the latest model. We are the only store in Kyoto that has it, and there's only one left. If you like it, you can try it on."
