The educated youth settlement wasn't a good place to talk, so they went to Xie Xinyu's place instead.
When Ou Manqing told her about Xie Zhiqing's situation, Ou's parents felt very sorry for the child.
Mother Ou liked Ruyi very much and held her tightly, refusing to let go.
Mr. Ou looked around Xie Xinyu's room and felt that it was much more spacious and brighter than the rooms in the educated youth settlement.
Knowing that it was built by the brigade leader later, he not only agreed with it but also started to have his own ideas.
He asked his daughter, "Why don't you and Dahui build your own house to live in? We'll pay for it."
Building a house in the countryside doesn't cost much; they can use it to supplement their daughter's income.
They all saw the expression on Li Dahui's sister-in-law's face today; it was clear that the eldest branch of the family did not agree with Li Dahui's parents' plan to divide the family property.
She's just temporarily being kept in check by her in-laws and doesn't dare say anything.
However, it's inevitable that Ou Manqing and his wife will have to be mindful of her attitude in the future.
Mr. Ou was unwilling to let his daughter suffer any injustice, so he thought it would be better for the young couple to move out and live on their own.
What he didn't say was that he didn't think much of the room the Li family left for Li Dahui.
The space is too small; it's okay for two people, but it won't be enough if we have children in the future.
It would be better to build three rooms from the start, so that they will have a place to stay when they come to visit their daughter.
Ou Manqing shared this thought. She didn't like Li Dahui's sister-in-law very much. Even though they had separated their households, she still had to see her every day while living there.
It makes me feel terrible just thinking about it.
However, she didn't want any more money from her parents: "You don't need to give me any more money. The bride price and dowry will be in my hands by then. I also have my own savings. Building a house won't cost much."
Her parents have already sacrificed so much for her, and she thinks she will have to rely on herself to live from now on.
We can't always rely on our parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Ou felt that their daughter had grown up and become much more sensible, so they agreed.
That evening, we went to the Li family's house for dinner. Aunt Lin prepared a table full of dishes using the game that Li Dahui had brought back, along with ingredients collected from the brigade.
Mr. and Mrs. Ou could feel the sincerity of the couple and were satisfied.
...
They took a long vacation, planning to stay until the house was built and they got married before leaving.
Xie Xinyu invited Ou's mother to live with her and Ruyi, and Ou's father was taken home by Lin Yu and stayed in Lin Yi's room.
Lin Yi will stay with Lin Yuan for the time being.
Mr. and Mrs. Ou originally planned to go to the county town guesthouse, but when they arrived there they learned that the tractor was used by the brigade for harvesting and could not be used to transport people regularly.
Due to the inconvenient transportation, they had no choice but to stay at the Lianhua Brigade as suggested by the children.
Mr. Ou followed Lin Yu back to the Lin family home. Compared to Li Dahui's father, he got along better with Lin Aiguo.
Lin Aiguo knew he was from the city and worked as the factory manager of a garment factory in Guangcheng. He also asked him a lot about the local customs and culture of Guangcheng.
Captain Lin also warmly invited Mr. Ou to visit their brigade's workshop and introduced him to the brigade's local products.
Ou's father lives in the south, where sweet potatoes are very common. He has seen vermicelli before, but so far no other team has been able to achieve the scale and fame of theirs.
I heard that they sold all their stuff in the northern part of the city. Mr. Ou was even more impressed and made an agreement with Lin Aiguo to buy a batch of goods back in a few months to give to the employees as Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.
Lin Aiguo knew perfectly well that this was a support measure for their brigade's workshops. He expressed his gratitude and did not refuse.
If the products could be sold in the south, it would be a good thing for the workshop.
Meanwhile, Aunt Ou followed Aunt Lin around the brigade and got to know many of their relatives.
She gets along well with Aunt Lin and Grandma Lin.
Because of this, she learned about Lin Yu's background and said, "I also spent some time in Haicheng when I was young."
"Xiaoyu is clearly a good child. After all these years apart, I hope your family will be well from now on. It's a relief that your hardships have finally come to an end."
Grandma Lin just felt that cultured people always spoke in a pleasant way.
That's exactly right.
Their family and Xiaoyu had been separated for so many years, and now that their child has returned, it's something to be happy about.
On the way, Ou's mother met Shen Zhinian and said, "Xiaoyu looks just like her mother."
Grandma Lin nodded: "It's good that she doesn't look like her father; she's only pretty if she looks like her mother."
Aunt Lin shook her head and said with a smile, "The third son is also good-looking, but he's a bit too mischievous."
"Aunt Liu, what are you saying about me? I heard everything."
Just as Shen Zhinian walked by, Lin Laosan came over, undoubtedly chasing after his wife.
Aunt Lin then teased, "Is the third son looking for a wife again?"
Lin Laosan wasn't ashamed at all: "Yes, where did my wife go, Mother? Have you seen her?"
Grandma Lin rolled her eyes at him: "It just passed by, go find it quickly."
After he left, Grandma Lin explained to Mother Ou, "My son is a henpecked husband. He's always clinging to his wife. The whole brigade knows what he's like."
Mrs. Ou was a little stunned, but then she came to her senses, nodded and smiled, "Then your son is a good man."
...
That night, for some reason, Mrs. Ou felt uneasy and even dreamed of scenes from ten or twenty years ago.
She lived in a lane in Haicheng. Two people carrying a child ran over, and someone was chasing after them.
She knew those guys who were pursuing her; they used to hang around their house all the time, and they weren't good people.
She assumed that the couple being chased were victims, and that they were probably being chased to take their child.
So she stepped in to help them...
When she woke up the next day, Mother Ou had returned to normal. She had figured some things out and realized that it was better not to know too much about certain things.
