This year may be the last year that the family spends here.
And because good things happened one after another at home, everyone was very happy, and the New Year's Eve dinner was also extremely sumptuous.
Not only good food but also good fun.
Taking advantage of her free time, Li Qiuhe also seized the opportunity to sew soles for the two children.
Although she knew that the two brothers would go to a big city in the future where there would surely be all kinds of nice shoes for sale, she still felt that children would be more comfortable wearing shoes made in this way.
It was already dark outside, and Yang Liu's mother was still working on the soles of her shoes. She couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, it's getting dark. Watch your eyes."
"It's okay, there's just one last thing. I'll go to bed after I'm done."
"Why haven't you gone to bed yet? Where's the child?"
"They are all asleep."
Yang Liu brought a stool over and sat down next to her mother. She took her arm, leaned on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you, but don't worry. Once I'm settled over there, I'll take you, my dad, and Yang Bai over."
"Silly child, I'm so happy that you can go live in a big city with Chu Yue. Besides, everything is fine with your dad at home, so you don't have to worry about home all the time when you go out."
Li Qiuhe felt sad when she saw her daughter snuggling in her arms like she did when she was a child. She had grown up with her daughter but they had never been separated. She really couldn't bear to let her go.
"By the way, when we get to Shanghai, you must go with us to meet Chu Yue's parents and relatives. It's your first time visiting them, so you can't give them something to talk about. I've prepared some local products from home, and you can bring them along."
When distributing food this year, she discussed with the old man and decided not to take the staple foods for now, but to take more corn, peanuts and other things.
Although there are some in the city, the ones sold in the city are not as delicious as the ones grown in their own fields.
Yang Liu didn't think so far. Even if she was going to meet his family, she planned to just go out and buy some things.
I didn't expect her mother to have prepared all these for her.
"Don't worry, Mom. When we get there, I can just buy some things."
Li Qiuhe rubbed her head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can buying things be as sincere as bringing them yourself? Especially when you are going to meet Chu Yue's grandmother and others, you must not be rude."
In the past, people had sent clothes and malted milk to her children from far away, and she still remembered their kindness.
"Mom, I know everything, so don't worry. By the way, when we leave, you and my dad will be at home, so please take good care of yourself and don't be reluctant to buy meat. Our lives are better now, so don't be reluctant to eat like you used to."
"I know. Don't worry about us. As long as you are doing well outside, your father and I will be relieved."
The days of separation always pass quickly.
Li Qiuhuo did nothing stupid these days and was busy preparing things for them. Chu Yue's big backpack was full of things, all of which were mushrooms, black fungus and dried bamboo shoots that her mother had dried.
In addition to these, there are also a lot of bacon and sausages.
She took almost everything that could be packed. If they really couldn't carry it all, she would have asked them to take the sweet potatoes from home as well.
Rural people are so honest.
In fact, it was all thanks to Chu Yue that Wei Donglai stayed, otherwise the couple would have to take care of two children and would not be able to take these things.
On the fifteenth day, they went to their second aunt's house at noon.
In order to give their family a farewell party, Yao Caiying spent a lot of money and prepared a table full of dishes, all of which were delicious.
Because Chu Yue had to take a bus the next day and also had to take care of the luggage and children, he did not drink any wine. He only poured wine for his father and second uncle.
At the dinner table, he suddenly stood up and toasted to several elders with tea instead of wine: "Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I toast to you. Thank you for letting me feel the warmth of home over the past few years."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
Shitou didn't understand what was going on, so he just clapped his little hands and called out, "Daddy."
It seemed like they were cheering for him.
After that, the man didn't know what was wrong today, but he raised his glass and wanted to toast Yang Liu: "Liu Liu, thank you for giving me a family and giving birth to two precious sons."
Yang Liu felt embarrassed by his burning gaze.
In the end, I just secretly glared at him. I couldn't say such things when I went back, so why did I have to say them here?
As a bystander, Yang Nan was envious of the little actions between the couple. Perhaps real couples should be like them, with their eyes only on each other.
The next day, Li Qiuhuo got up early in the morning to make breakfast. Thinking that they would take it to another place to eat, she specially made a lot of steamed buns with white flour and also baked a lot of meat patties.
These things are easy to carry and fill you up easily, making them perfect for eating on the go.
Wei Donglai went with them, so he also came to their house to have breakfast. After eating, he checked everything before leaving.
Because there were so many people and so much stuff, we asked Uncle Tao to take them to the town in a donkey cart.
Before leaving, Chu Yue patted Yang Bai on the shoulder and told him, "Study hard at home and don't slack off. I'll test you when we meet again."
Yang Bai nodded heavily: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will study hard and strive to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination like you."
"Well, kid, you have ambition." Wei Donglai rubbed his head and said with a smile.
"Okay, Dad, Mom, let's go." Yang Liu sat on the donkey cart and waved to them, asking them to go back.
Li Qiuhe shouted into the wind, "Be careful on your way, and remember to write a letter to let us know you're safe when you get there."
"Got it, go back!"
Yang Liu and the child sat in the middle, while Chu Yue and Wei Donglai sat in the back, blocking them.
Wei Donglai was in a good mood, humming a little tune. He tilted his head and asked, "Hey, we're about to go back. How are you feeling? Are you super excited?"
He was so happy. He could finally sleep until he woke up naturally every day, without having to work from sunrise to sunset like a cow.
It's really exhausting.
Whenever he hears that ringtone now, he feels a resistance in his heart. He has really had enough of it.
"I think you're the one who's excited, right?"
"Of course, how can I not be excited? Finally I don't have to work in the fields."
Yang Liu watched the car getting farther and farther away from her parents, feeling anxious.
Embarking on an unknown journey, I feel both a desire for the outside world and a sense of panic about encountering new things.
Seeing that his wife was not in a good mood, Chu Yue silently held her hand, gave her strength, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."
