"Jiang Yuan, you're overthinking this."
There was indeed a gap between the two of them. Yun Huaying saw it clearly and continued to persuade him patiently, "There is indeed a gap now, but as long as you are determined, study hard, and strive to catch up with him, the gap between you will soon be narrowed. Then you won't be as confused and inferior as you are now."
Jiang Yuan did feel a little inferior in her heart, and smiled lightly: "He is rushing forward and has been working hard to improve. It is difficult for me to catch up with his pace."
"He has his responsibilities. He carries the title of the Han family's eldest grandson. He has to charge forward. He can't stop. Not only him, but also Brother Xiao and Han Zhengjuezi. They all have to move forward bravely."
"The Han family has been away from Kyoto for eight years. The political power circle has long been replaced by generations. Sooner or later, our generation will dominate the world. The children of other families of the same level have been trained and each one has the ability to shoulder the responsibility of the family. The Han family must catch up with them."
"Grandma and grandpa are old, and even if grandpa is in good health, he won't be able to stay in his position for long. He may have to retire in five or six years. So the second and third generations must rush forward quickly, and all of them must rush forward. They must gain a firm foothold in Kyoto before grandpa retires."
Jiang Yuan took her words to heart and kept them in mind. She sighed and said, "Huaying, I feel so stressed."
"Pressure is motivation. Don't underestimate your potential. Set a goal and there will be invisible pressure to motivate you at all times. You will grow rapidly without even realizing it."
"When you reach a certain height one day and look back, you will find that although this road was difficult, it was also particularly wonderful. You will never regret the choice you made today, and this experience will be the most profound memory of your life."
Her large bowl of chicken soup was nutritious enough, and Jiang Yuan drank it all in one gulp, her confidence soaring. "You're right. I shouldn't have backed down before I even started. I should have bravely pressed forward, not only to realize my dreams, but also for a better future."
"That's right."
Yun Huaying smiled and continued packing, encouraging him, "Don't worry too much about other things. The most important thing right now is to improve yourself. There's indeed a gap between you and Brother Zhe. Brother Zhe's achievements and status today are also the result of his own hard work. You have to believe in yourself. With your own talents and abilities, you will also forge a path that suits you. In the future, you will definitely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him and prove to everyone that you are worthy of him."
Jiang Yuan bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "Well, I will try my best."
"come on!"
Yun Huaying clenched her fists and encouraged her.
Jiang Yuan grinned. She felt that the greatest luck in her life might not be knowing Han Zhe, but knowing Yun Huaying. It was she who led her onto a completely different path and made her see the wonders of the world.
When Li Shutong knocked on the door, the two of them were packing up in the house. She walked in and said with a smile, "Huaying, do you want to go out for a walk this afternoon?"
"OK."
Yun Huaying had been very busy these days and hadn't had time to go shopping. Thinking about her aunt going to buy gifts for her family, she smiled and said, "Aunt, do you want to go to the Overseas Chinese Store?"
"We don't have enough remittance coupons. Let's just buy some at the state-owned store."
"Aunt, I have overseas remittance vouchers. Han Zheng gave them to me."
Yun Huaying took out the bill from her pocket. It was indeed the one Han Zheng gave her this morning.
"I haven't been to the Overseas Chinese Store yet. I heard from my mother-in-law that the store has a wide variety of items and many items can be ordered in advance. Let's go there this afternoon and pick out some good things for Grandpa and Grandma Li."
"OK."
Li Shutong was very happy thinking that she would be able to see her parents and family tomorrow. She was also planning to go shopping. "Let's go back suddenly and give them a big surprise."
"Grandpa Li and the others will definitely be very happy." Yun Huaying smiled faintly.
Jiang Yuan had heard her aunt talk about her family before, so she asked, "Aunt, with so many of us going there, will we be staying in a guesthouse?"
"Let's stay in a guesthouse. The building my mother's family lives in was originally left by our ancestors, but it's now state-owned. My parents live with my eldest brother's family, and my second brother's family lives in a small suite. The other rooms have been allocated to outsiders. There are dozens of neighbors next door, and it's a mess. It's not suitable for us to live at home."
"This time we're going back to handle the paperwork, and the original house will be returned to us. However, it's been occupied by outsiders for years, and the house is probably a mess, so we can't move in for the time being."
"It's the same with Meng Fan and his family's house. We can't live there even if we take it back. We're only staying there for three or five days, so we might as well stay at the guesthouse."
Yun Huaying went to her uncle's house when she was a child. His house was a small Western-style building. It was a gift from her grandfather when her uncle was admitted to Fudan University. Her uncle had lived there since he started school.
"Aunt, what do you and uncle think about the returned house?"
"We've already discussed it. We won't deal with the house anymore. We'll go back and tidy it up from time to time. This house was a gift from your grandfather to your uncle. It means a lot to him. It will be passed down to the next generation. As for who it will be passed on to, we'll decide later."
Yun Huaying supported their arrangement. The market value of the old villas in Haicheng would be sky-high in a few decades. If there were any houses available, she would like to buy a few for storage. However, she had not told her elders about this for the time being.
After packing the luggage, everyone sat for a while and then started preparing lunch. After the meal, everyone locked the door and went out to buy some food.
Li Shutong bought gifts for her family members. She bought a full set of clothes and shoes for her parents, leather shoes for her brothers and sisters-in-law, and sneakers for her nephews and nieces. They were all very practical gifts at the time.
While she was choosing clothes and shoes, Yun Shaofan picked out a pair of good wines for his father-in-law and some good nutritional supplements for his mother-in-law.
Yun Huaying also bought a lot of things today. She didn’t think these things were so good, but she felt that the items were very old and had great collection value, so she picked out a large bag of small items and planned to leave them to future generations as a collection.
The next morning, everyone carried their bags and took a nearby bus to the train station. The group happily set off for Haicheng.
Jinling is not far from Haicheng, and there is a direct train that arrives at 11 o'clock in the morning.
"Wow, Haicheng is so prosperous."
Jiang Yuan is a real country bumpkin who has just come to the city. She used to think that the thousand-year-old capital of Jinling was prosperous and lively enough, but now that she has arrived in Haicheng, she finds that it is even better.
After not being back for eight years, Yun Shaofan and the others saw everything that was familiar yet a little strange, and their hearts surged. "Let's go, let's take the bus."
