When Yao Caiying saw her sister-in-law acting mysteriously, she thought she was asking something, and it turned out to be this.
As she put the prepared cold dishes onto the plate, she said, "Sister-in-law, I know what you're worried about. I thought the same thing at first. We're all illiterate country folk. If we go to the city, won't that be a burden to our children?"
"But then, Nan Nan told me two things that really moved me. I was even more determined to go to a big city and live a good life."
Seeing her sister-in-law looking at her with a gleam in her eyes, Yao Caiying stopped beating around the bush and continued, "First, big cities have good educational resources. Nan Nan said that if we take Yang Shu and Yang Zhi to study in a big city, they'll be able to go to a good university like Chu Yue in the future, and have a bright future."
"Also, she told me that she and Liu'er were planning to open another shop, and they were short on staff, so she wanted Junqing and me to help out. At first, I thought she was trying to trick us, but after listening to her, I felt that there was no need to pay anyone for such things, as we could do it alone."
The work in the fields is so tiring, but they don't even complain. It's just cooking and moving goods, which are not easy tasks.
It was precisely based on these two points that they agreed to go with them without hesitation. Otherwise, who would be so selfish as to drag down the child?
Li Qiuhe was still skeptical. "Caiying, do you think what they said is true? They're not saying it on purpose to trick us into coming over, are they?"
"Oh, sister-in-law, why are you so suspicious? Let's go with them next year and take a look. If we can't help, we can just come back. There's nothing to worry about."
Yao Caiying is a quick-witted person. She always does things promptly and never procrastinates.
When Yang Nan came back and told her about it, she decided to go out and take a look.
After hearing what she said, Li Qiuhe felt relieved. She finally sighed, "Caiying, you don't know, I've been really worried about this these past few days. Now that you've said this, I feel a lot more relieved."
Just like she said, follow them first. If you can't help, you can come back and farm in time.
The New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening was also quite rich, with chicken, duck, fish and meat. However, Li Qiuhe and Yao Caiying were only responsible for helping out. After the ingredients were prepared, Yang Liu came over to cook.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms uses mushrooms picked from the mountains and chickens raised at home. The meat is tender and fresh, and the aroma is so delicious that it makes people dizzy. This dish is the most popular and not even the soup base is left in the end.
We ate a lot of other dishes, but there were still a lot left. The main reason was that there were too many dishes cooked today. Even if everyone ate to their heart's content, they would still be full in the end.
After dinner, after clearing the table, everyone sat outside, warming themselves by the fire and chatting. Chu Yue and Qin Lie took a few children out to set off firecrackers. They had bought a few more boxes of firecrackers during the day, and they probably wouldn't stop until they had finished setting off all the firecrackers today.
After sitting together and chatting for a while, Yao Caiying and her family left.
Yang Liu cooked a table full of dishes tonight and felt a strong smell of cooking fumes on her body, so she hurried to take a shower after the meal.
Seeing that his wife's face was no longer as gloomy as it had been a few days ago, Yang Guoqing asked, "Who persuaded you to do this? I see you're in a good mood today."
Li Qiuhe didn't take her joke seriously. While folding clothes, she explained, "After listening to Caiying's words today, I've finally figured it out. Since Liu'er asked us to go with her, then we'll go. If we can really help them, I'll be more than happy to help. If they don't need us anymore, we can come back and farm."
Yang Guoqing also nodded: "I think so too."
He had heard before that big cities are so crowded that beggars often happen. Wood and Stone are so cute. His parents are usually busy, and if the old couple goes there, they may not be able to help with other things, but at least they can help take good care of their grandson.
When they grow up and are no longer needed, they can come back.
After figuring all this out, Li Qiuhuo had a rare good night's sleep.
Because they are leaving at the beginning of the year, some things at home need to be taken care of.
For example, when they are gone, their family's land must be handed over to responsible people to cultivate. Otherwise, if the good land is left idle, it will soon be overgrown with weeds, and such good land will be wasted.
Finally, after discussion, the two brothers unanimously decided to hand over all the land to Tian Dazhu, because he was a hardworking and down-to-earth person, and he was also very serious and responsible in farming. By handing the land over to him, they would not have to pay any fees.
As for the house, they also locked it with a key, and gave Uncle Tao some money, asking him to come and look around when he was free, and to help keep an eye on it from time to time, to prevent any unscrupulous people from having bad intentions.
No one can steal from the house, but there are still some useful things in the house. I am afraid that some people will be greedy and steal everything.
Before leaving, they visited all the relatives they were supposed to visit. In fact, they mainly went back to her mother's home. Because of some things before, the two sisters-in-law had unpleasantness with her mother's home. Although they were not so intimate when they visited each other normally, they were blood relatives after all. This time, they not only brought things but also gave money.
After all, I have conveyed my thoughts.
After arranging everything, the two families set off in a grand manner on the morning of the eleventh day of the first lunar month.
This time, they were taken to the town by a tractor pulling feed from the village. After having breakfast in the town, they took a bus directly to the city. They booked a train for the afternoon and would arrive in Shanghai the next morning.
It was the first time for Yangshu and Yangzhi to travel far away. They were very excited and chattered all the way.
Especially when I entered the train station, I was stunned when I saw the long train roaring towards me.
Yang Liu rubbed their heads and asked, "Are you excited?"
Yang Shu said excitedly, "Second sister, I'm more than just excited. I feel like I'm about to fly."
He never thought that one day he would be able to go to the city to study, he was so happy.
Yang Bai was not as cheerful as him, he just stood there quietly.
This time, apart from taking some local specialties from home, such as bacon, sausages, homemade chili sauce, and pickles, they were asked not to bring anything else. As for clothes, they only brought one or two sets of clothes to change into, and they could buy more when they got there.
After all, they run a clothing store, so why would they need to bring clothes from far away?
Although Yang Liu told them this, the elderly were afraid of wasting money and still brought a few of their newest clothes with them.
