Uncle Lin and Bao Ni had a great time chatting, and he rushed home excitedly, but he still needed to discuss it with his wife.
"Are you really going to the capital?"
Aunt Bonnie never expected that a joke would actually come true.
“Going to Beijing, the third brother is going to university in Beijing, and the second brother will also be assigned to the city after graduation with a formal job. We should also try our best for the eldest brother. This is a rare opportunity. Look at Master Chen, he earns quite a lot every month.”
"Okay, go ahead. If all else fails, I can always come back to farming."
Aunt Bonnie supports her husband. They own a house and land, so what if things don't work out?
"Let Lao San and Bao Ni go first. We're not in a hurry; we have a lot of things to do. I plan to sell the job. I'll talk to the manager and offer to leave voluntarily, which will save him a lot of trouble."
And what about the eldest brother's wedding? Was it arranged before we left? We've known each other for so long, we know everything. We can't leave him feeling uncertain."
Bonnie's brother-in-law discussed the most important matters with his wife one by one, emphasizing that things couldn't be rushed. He knew that haste makes waste and that rushing things could lead to serious mistakes.
Lin Feng was also very surprised when he learned that his father was going to open a restaurant in Beijing.
"Dad, have you thought this through? We're unfamiliar with Beijing, and we'll have to trouble Sister Bao Ni with a lot of things. Didn't you tell us not to rely on others too much?"
"Well, this time I plan to partner with your sister Bao Ni. She'll contribute a small portion of the money, and we'll split the profits 50/50. With your sister Bao Ni around in Beijing, we won't be completely clueless about many things."
We'll do our job honestly, not cause your sister any trouble, and not embarrass her. We'll run the restaurant steadily and earn a meager living. Once you're both settled and have your own families, your mother and I can retire and go back to our island home to live out our lives.”
Bonnie's uncle sounds great. Like his parents, he'll have a companion in his old age, live a peaceful life, and have filial children. He won't have any worries. How wonderful!
"Okay, I will study hard and become independent as soon as I start working, so that I can bring honor to you all."
Lin Feng felt more motivated and resolved to work hard to be a good doctor, save lives, and stay true to his original aspiration.
The matter of Bonnie's uncle has been decided, but it still needs to be handled slowly. She can't leave for the time being and needs to plan for the long term.
Bonnie and the others are leaving, Liu Jiu and Xuan Yi are starting school, and Lin Feng, Zheng Jun, and Mu Nanfang are also going to university to register.
"Mom and Dad, I might not be able to come back for a while after this trip. Liu Jiu and the others will be starting high school soon, and these two years are crucial. Please come to Beijing to spend some time with them whenever you have time."
Bonnie was also reluctant to leave her parents and grandparents, but there was nothing she could do; she had her own family. For parents, their children will always come first. She was both her parents' daughter and the mother of Liu Jiu and San Qi.
“I know, we are healthy and strong, so don’t worry. Come back whenever you have time. Home is always here. Your dad, grandpa, grandma, and I will stay here. Come back when you are tired or weary, and Mom will cook you something delicious.”
Bao Ni's mother stroked her daughter's head. The little girl who used to run around and fight all day had grown up, had her own family, and her own children. She had her own life to live, and her parents couldn't help her too much anymore. Taking good care of herself and not holding her children back was the best she could do.
Bonnie hugged her mother; it was her mother's scent, her mother's strength. No matter how far she went, she knew that on the island, someone was watching over her.
Everything was packed, and she had seen everyone she needed to see, except for her second brother, who was away on a business trip and hadn't returned by the time Bao Ni was about to leave. Her second sister-in-law came back briefly with her child, but didn't say much.
Bonnie had a lot of dried seafood, which she mailed away. The rest were gifts from her third aunt, her youngest aunt, and other friends.
When Mu Nanfang and his group arrived, they brought quite a few things, including a considerable amount of specially supplied cigarettes and alcohol. Bao Ni's parents also prepared many return gifts. They bought dried seafood from various families on the island, selecting only the largest and best pieces.
"Alright, take your things with you. Come visit again when you have time. You're welcome anytime."
At the dock, Bao Ni's parents, uncles, and aunts came to see her off. Bao Ni's mother specifically told Mu Nanfang and the others that they were all good children.
"Yes, we will come often. We love Grandma's cooking and the seaweed house."
Mu Nanfang answered very seriously. Others might just be wondering why he was so eloquent, but only he knew that he was being sincere.
Bonnie led the group onto the boat. Standing by the side of the boat, watching her parents' figures grow smaller and smaller, she couldn't hold back her tears.
“Mom, we’ll come back often in the future, and we’ll also invite Grandma and the others to come to Beijing. We’ll see them at least once a year, and each visit will last for half a year.”
"Okay, we'll listen to Sanqi."
Bonnie knew this was unlikely. Her grandparents were too old to leave the island, and her parents wouldn't leave the two elderly people alone on a trip, as they wouldn't feel comfortable doing so.
Bonnie hugged Sanqi, noticing Liujiu's occasional glances from a distance, and her mood calmed down considerably. Isn't that what life is like? Raising children, sending them away, and then staying where you are, waiting for their return.
Bonnie and her friends bought sleeper tickets. There were eight of them in total, and their tickets were next to each other, so they could look after each other.
While Bonnie and her friends were swaying on the train, Gu Ye in Beijing was also busy.
During his rest time, he would take out all the bed sheets and blankets to air them out, and clean the house upstairs and downstairs, especially the big bed that his wife liked, which he wiped inside and out.
"Commander Gu, are you busy?"
Commander Xu was also resting, so he came over to ask when the children would arrive.
The tickets were bought by someone through Gu Ye, and he hasn't had time to tell anyone else yet.
