Buling nodded knowingly.

From the first moment she met Xie Dong, she knew he was an ambitious man.

Unfortunately, the dragon is trapped in shallow waters. Now, with the policy easing, even Gu County can sense the change, let alone Kyoto.

Xie Dong has broken free from his constraints, so he can now freely explore new horizons.

Noticing Bling's prolonged silence, Sangshen, for some reason, blurted out, "Lingling, are you envious?"

"What do I envy?"

"I envy Xie Dong for being able to take his wife back to Beijing, while I can only stay in this small county town with you?" Sang Shen suddenly became a little insecure.

"What's wrong with a small county town?" Bu Ling glared at Sang Shen. "Small county towns are comfortable."

Besides, if she wants to go to Kyoto, why does she need someone to take her? After the reform and opening up, she can go by herself.

It's not like they can't go; they have no idea what this person is thinking: "I just love small towns."

Compared to big cities like Kyoto, small towns are more suitable for someone like her who's just giving up.

When the time is right, she will go to Kyoto to buy a courtyard house, and then she can live whichever side she wants.

Money talks!

Thinking of the large box of money in her space, Bu Ling felt confident.

The mulberry's slight sadness had just begun to surface when it was completely eradicated by Bling with a combination of elimination and attack.

Suddenly, he lost all interest in anything.

"I'll listen to you. If you like small towns, we'll settle down here."

"Let's talk about it later." Bu Ling waved her hand, grabbed her daughter who was running out, and looked at her sternly: "What if I like Kyoto in the future? You never know."

After saying that, she didn't linger with the mulberry and urged him, "I'm hungry."

Little Star said in her sweet, childish voice, "I'm hungry~"

Looking at the two children, one big and one small, both gazing at him expectantly, a sense of responsibility welled up within him. He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it."

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and spoke in unison:

Braised pork belly!

"Coarse corn porridge!"

Bling and Little Star looked at each other defiantly, then turned their heads at the same time:

"Dad, I want braised pork!"

"Honey, I want corn porridge!"

Mulberry: ...

Perhaps this is what a mature man should take on?

What a sweet burden!

"Yes, yes, I'll make them all!" Sangshen, flattered by the mother and daughter, waved her hand with boundless pride.

"Yay! Daddy's the best!"

"My husband is the best!"

Mulberry felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Completely bewildered by the mother and daughter, I absentmindedly cooked dinner.

There was braised pork that my daughter wanted, corn porridge that my wife requested, and smashed cucumber that my wife didn't request but loves.

Sangshen ate the meal with great relish, completely unaware of the secret, smug smiles between the mother and daughter.

Since Xie Dong returned, he hasn't had a moment's rest.

First, he dealt with the black market at the county hospital. After discussing it with Sangshen, he handed the black market over to Uncle Mu.

Uncle Mu is someone Xie Dong trusts and has helped him a lot, so he doesn't feel bad about handing the money over to Uncle Mu.

Then there was the work of the transportation team, which he also gave away as a favor to the team's leaders, essentially selling or giving it away.

The leader had a son who had been sent to the countryside and had not yet been admitted to university, so the work in the transportation team was an urgent matter for him.

Another thing is his house. When he learned that Sang Shen and her family of three had settled in Gu County, he sold the house to Sang Shen without saying a word.

He's going back to Kyoto and won't be coming back to live here permanently, so leaving the house empty is a waste. Selling it to Sangs is a good idea.

As for mulberries, they were originally optional, but he listened to his wife and since she liked them, he naturally took them without hesitation.

Finally, we went to Jiang Wanying's parents' home to say goodbye.

After everything was settled, it was time to say goodbye.

Same train station, same people seeing each other off.

"Xiao Qi, are you really not going back to Kyoto?" Xie Dong asked, carrying his suitcase and looking at his best friend.

“Who knows?” Sangshen shrugged. “Anyway, I think Gu County is pretty good right now, and staying here isn’t a bad choice.”

Seeing Xie Dong's somewhat sad expression, Sang Shen pounded his chest: "Stop being so girly, it's not like we can't see each other anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xie Dong wiped his face, and all his reluctance vanished with those words.

"Let's go." He turned around expressionlessly, put his arm around his wife, and boarded the train.

He looked back one last time before boarding the train.

Sangshen and Buling, holding hands with their goddaughter, looked at them with smiles on their faces and waved goodbye.

Xie Dong's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. He turned around, waved vigorously, and then grabbed Jiang Wanying, boarding the train without looking back.

"Let's go back." After watching the two figures disappear, Sangshen turned to Buling and said.

“Okay.” Bu Ling nodded. “There are a lot of people, so you hold your daughter.”

Sangshen picked up her eldest daughter and the three of them walked against the flow of people towards the platform exit.

That year, Sangshen stood still, seeing off her brother and two good brothers, watching them head towards a broader future.

To be honest, it's a bit sad.

But it doesn't matter, he has his wife and daughter with him, that's enough.

After seeing Xie Dong off, there are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year.

This year's Spring Festival was unusually quiet for the Buling family of three, but it also had its own unique flavor.

We waited and waited, and seven or eight years have passed.

On the first day back to work after the New Year holiday, as soon as Bu Ling arrived at the restaurant, she was called to Manager Zhu's office.

She was still wondering when Manager Zhu handed her a file folder.
