Yu Mingxiang and Xuancao got up early, made breakfast, and then the mother and daughter began to help their son and daughter-in-law pack their luggage.

"Remember to bring warm clothes!"

Yu Mingxiang, having been sent to the Northwest in her previous life, knew its climate well. "The Northwest is windy and dusty, so you should bring scarves and thick blankets..."

The mother and daughter were busy packing their things, and Grandma Gu was also busy.

Old Mrs. Gu sent a message to the town last night, and her daughter Gu Yunlan arrived with the gifts at daybreak.

The mother and daughter were busily working in the kitchen, making meat patties and jerky...

Even Qin Xiangdong was running around helping his mother pack her things.

The whole family was so busy they barely had time to breathe, but Xue Ru and Qin Weiguo were the most idle!

The couple held their baby and looked at their busy family members, their eyes welling up with tears.

Tuanzi is only a little over six months old.

The couple knew all too well how much effort and energy it took to take care of a child who was just over six months old.

The two couldn't bear to part with their son, and even more so with their family.

But.

Now that they've made their choice, neither of them regrets it.

It was evening.

The old village chief arrived at the village entrance courtyard with two train tickets and a document stamped with the official seal.

"I've already taken care of all the formalities for you."

He handed the documents to Xue Ru and Qin Weiguo, saying, "I've also been to the guesthouse and have already spoken to Director Liao on your behalf."

"These are your train tickets. He had them booked a long time ago and asked me to bring them to you."

As fellow researchers, Liao Songwen gave Xue Ru and Qin Weiguo the opportunity to choose, but...

But he had already guessed the outcome.

Even the train tickets were booked well in advance.

She was on the same bus as Liao Songwen.

Xue Ru and Qin Weiguo thanked the old village chief. Yu Mingxiang wanted to invite the old village chief to stay for tea, but she was too busy at home.

The son and daughter-in-law still had some things to pack, so they had to give up.

After seeing off the old village chief, the family continued to tidy up.

Dinner was prepared by Grandma Gu and her daughter Gu Yunlan.

After dinner, Gu Yunlan didn't rush to leave but stayed.

In the past, when she and Gu Guanhai had arguments, Gu Yunlan wouldn't even go back to her parents' home if Gu Guanhai was in the village, but now...

The brother and sister resolved their differences.

Gu Guanhai got married again and took a wife.

Gu Yunlan wished she could stay at her parents' house.

Especially today.

Her older brother disappeared on the night of his wedding. When her stepson and daughter-in-law were going to the Northeast, he didn't even show his face. As her aunt, she had to take on her brother's role and help her sister-in-law take care of the children.

After dinner, I busied myself for a while longer.

It took several large bags of luggage to pack.

"Food, clothing, daily necessities..."

Yu Mingxiang pointed to the packages and said, "Take the dry food that your grandma and aunt prepared for you with you right now. As for the rest, we'll stop by the post office on our way to catch the train tomorrow and send it to you by express mail!"

As she spoke, Yu Mingxiang took out a wad of cash and a deposit slip from her bosom and stuffed them into Xue Ru's hand.

"Here's two thousand yuan and a savings account."

She said in a deep voice, "When you get there, you can eat and spend as you please. Don't worry about saving money for Mom. Also... you don't need to keep thinking about subsidizing the research project."

"If we can help the research institute, your Uncle Gu and I will find a way. We won't miss out on your little bit of help!"

"And Xiaoru, don't worry about your family. I'll send them money and things regularly..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ru exclaimed, "!!!"

His eyes welled up with tears of emotion. "Mom!"

She called out hesitantly.

Qin Weiguo stood to the side, his eyes red.

Seeing this, Gu Yunlan exchanged a glance with her mother, then took out a stack of things from her bosom and stuffed them into Xue Ru's hands.

"These are some grain coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, and industrial coupons..."
