Chapter 225 How about... I go and stay with you guys for a while?
An Songyu had been pondering this until almost evening, but still hadn't made up her mind.
I checked the time and quickly got ready.
Today she is going to the reservoir to pick up her grandparents and take them home.
With the arrival of spring, Anshun and his wife, unable to stay at home, went to the reservoir early.
After the chickens and ducks consumed during the Lunar New Year, a large number of chicks and ducklings were added to the diet.
With the help of the remaining chickens and ducks, most of them survived.
However, since they are free-range, some losses are normal.
However, the work at the reservoir hasn't changed much.
Land available for development along the edge of the reservoir has already been developed.
This wasn't arranged by Anshun and the couple.
The workers who stayed at the reservoir had heard that other reservoirs had fish farmed and planted aquatic plants, so they planned to do the same.
In Anjia, they were fish farmers.
Whether it was eating or working, the elderly couple from the An family did not treat them differently.
Therefore, they cared more about the An family's large reservoir than the An family themselves.
After all, if the reservoir can continue to generate revenue, they can maintain this stable job indefinitely!
In addition, as the mulberry fields change every day, the silkworm rearing room also needs to be prepared.
The people of Jiangcun are very familiar with managing mulberry fields.
Anshun and his wife didn't even need to look for anyone; as soon as the newly sprouted twigs of the mulberry tree were developing well, people came to help them.
They don't consider themselves outsiders either.
Sometimes they would invite other people over, bringing fishing rods, pork, and beef.
While helping Anshun and his wife with their work, he also came here to eat with them.
An Songyu came to pick up the two elders several times and found that several familiar elders from Jiangcun had started staying overnight at the reservoir.
So every time she went there, she would make a special trip to the market.
When I carried the heavy load of pork and beef over there, there was no one in the yard.
However, the people working at the reservoir saw An Songyu and called An Shunhe and his wife.
The two elderly men, who had lost track of time, were checking on the mulberry orchard with their fellow villagers when they remembered:
Today is the day their granddaughter comes to pick them up from school again!
An Songyu wasn't in a hurry. Looking at the various vegetables growing exceptionally well in the yard, she simply dragged a basket over and started picking them.
Recently, she has been going to the company almost every other day.
It's perfect timing; I can bring some vegetables to my aunt and uncle tomorrow.
Everyone has been busy settling in lately.
Aside from An Songyu having more flexible hours and being closer to the reservoir,
Others find it difficult to even find time to visit the elderly.
This is why An Songyu would come every now and then to pick up the two elderly people and take them back.
The two also felt sorry for the children.
Compared to children who are busy both day and night, it's better for these two elderly people to make a few more trips.
When Anshun and the couple returned together, Ansongyu saw the familiar figure beside them.
She was both surprised and delighted, and said, "Ziyu, what are you doing here?"
Shi Youqin patted her future grandson-in-law's hand and smiled:
"Ziyu said that there is a project of their company near the river."
"The company was sending someone over on a business trip today, so he took the opportunity to try and get the job."
"They also said that this business trip isn't going to end in just a day or two, and they're planning to stay here with us!"
An Songyu handed the large head of lettuce she had picked to Jian Ziyu, who had come over to help her, and asked with concern:
"Is the business trip going to last this long?"
“There are only a few people on the new project, and we need manpower for the initial preparations, so I came here to help out.”
As Jian Ziyu carefully removed the outer leaves of the lettuce before putting it into the basket, she explained.
What he didn't say was that, basically, no one in the company was willing to take on this kind of project-based work.
However, he had other ideas and was naturally happy to leave the company first.
The two young couples have rarely seen each other since the Lunar New Year.
Even though we talk on the phone almost every day, we still can't help but get together after meeting in person.
Anshun and his wife had finished getting ready and came out.
Seeing the two of them still working slowly, he couldn't help but shake his head.
However, since he is their prospective grandson-in-law, he will naturally have to go back with them later.
The two elderly people weren't in a hurry.
Just then, the old folks who had gone to the mulberry grove or the mountain came back, keeping track of the time.
Seeing An Songyu come over again, the others greeted her.
An Songyu looked back and saw another elderly villager, which gave her a headache.
It's not that she doesn't welcome the elderly people from the village coming over.
An Songyu was well aware from the bottom of her heart that these were elderly people who had spent their entire lives with the land.
They are probably the ones who are least able to adjust after the demolition.
They were originally in the village and were familiar with Anshun and the couple.
But it's really hard to get them to come over shamelessly.
However, as the people of Jiangcun left the village, they became more and more united.
They can gradually let go of their pride.
Especially after other elderly people who had settled in the area came over a few times and stayed for several nights, they gradually started to gather around.
However, looking at this group of elderly people whose average age is over sixty, it was quite a sight.
Even though their actions went smoothly, An Songyu found it difficult to relax.
After all, there are basically no young people around the reservoir.
Since the people recruited to manage the reservoir and mulberry fields are mostly middle-aged or older, they are the majority of the staff.
Given the distance between the reservoir and the city, if something were to happen...
Even if they drive from the city, they probably won't make it in time.
But An Songyu could ask the elderly not to come...
Not only could she not say it, but none of the other family members could bring themselves to say it either.
So, on the way back, An Songyu simply suggested to the two elderly people:
"Grandpa and Grandma, how about... I come and stay with you for a while?"
"Live with us?" An Shunhe was taken aback at first, thinking about how busy his granddaughter was every day.
He had set off from the reservoir early in the morning and wouldn't be back until very late, so he instinctively wanted to refuse.
But he hadn't even had a chance to speak.
His wife, who was standing next to him, pulled him back and secretly pointed to her future grandson-in-law in the driver's seat.
An Shunhe was speechless at this, given his granddaughter's personality.
It's just that Xiao Jian is alright; otherwise, there would be much more for them to worry about.
An Songyu had no idea what the two elders were thinking. Seeing that they didn't object, she prepared to do it according to their idea.
On the contrary, Chien Tzu-yu, who was driving, said with a helpless expression:
"It's really too much trouble for you to come and stay, and besides, haven't you been extremely busy lately?"
An Songyu glanced at the two elderly people but did not respond directly.
Chien Tzu-yu could tell that his girlfriend had other plans, so he didn't keep trying to persuade her.
After the two returned to their family compound, the family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together.
An Songyu then voiced her concerns.
The two elderly people happened to go to bed early, and they went back to their room shortly after dinner.
