Zhang Degen fell silent after hearing this. In the countryside, this kind of social etiquette is the most common thing. He had no choice but to accept it. He believed that Guoan's wife could understand. Guoan's wife has always been the most reasonable.
Li Miaomiao did not wait for Wang Chunhua to call Zhang Degen, but went home first with Deputy Director Wang and Director Qiu.
Pei Yifan already knew that his mother was back, so he rushed home with his schoolbag on his back. Old Mrs. Pei followed behind him, and her steps were also very fast.
Old man Pei also heard the news and came here, just as old lady Pei arrived.
"Is Guoan's wife really back?"
"Of course I'm back. Look at the car at the door. How could this be fake?"
Old Mrs. Pei's face was full of joy. Their daughter-in-law had been away for so long that she and her husband missed her so much.
To be honest, even if their sons were away for such a long time, they wouldn't miss it that much. But their daughter-in-law, Li Miaomiao, is so caring and considerate of them. After she's been away for so long, they look forward to her coming back every day.
"Mother!"
When Li Miaomiao heard the noise outside, she came out and was immediately thrown into the arms of a little guy.
"Xiao Fan, Mommy misses you so much!"
Li Miaomiao hugged Pei Yifan and spun around happily for a few times before putting him down with a smile on her face.
"Mom, I miss you so much. I want to go to the city to find you, but I'm afraid of delaying your work, so I can only wait for you to come back at home. Mom, I have been listening to grandpa and grandma during this period."
Even Deputy Director Wang and Director Qiu felt that this child was so lovable when they saw his well-behaved little appearance.
Pei Guoan, who had always disliked his son and disliked him for competing with him for his wife, no longer disliked him at this time. He watched the little guy act coquettishly with his wife with indulgence.
"Xiao Fan is really my sweet baby. I love you so much. Once I have sorted out my affairs, I will take you with me and never leave you alone again."
It was also because she had given the little guy enough sense of security some time ago, so the system never prompted the little guy to have a tendency to turn evil. During this period of time, Li Miaomiao was able to go to the provincial capital to do her own things with peace of mind.
But even so, Li Miaomiao really felt sorry for this sensible and thoughtful little guy. If it weren't for those people on the other side of the sea, she would have kept the little guy with her long ago.
While the mother and son were talking, Li Miaomiao did not ignore the old couple of the Pei family who were looking at her eagerly.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work during this period. If you weren't here, I wouldn't be able to leave Xiaofan at home with such peace of mind."
"What nonsense! Isn't it our job to take care of your grandson? Besides, you're busy outside for the village. There's not much we can do to help you. We can only take care of your child."
"If you can help me take care of the children, it will solve my biggest worry. Mom and Dad, thank you so much for this time."
Li Miaomiao was not good at saying such sentimental words, but it was due to her emotions, and she also wanted to let the old couple know her gratitude.
Sometimes you have to say what you think, especially when it comes to this kind of thing. If you don’t say it, who will know what you really think?
"What nonsense! Isn't this what a family should do? Besides, Xiaofan is so obedient, smart and sensible. We say we take care of him, but in fact, most of the time it is he who accompanies us, making us two old people feel less lonely."
"Miao Miao, you have finished your work this time, right? You don't have to go out anymore?" Old man Pei suddenly remembered and asked hurriedly.
"It's better not to go out. Miaomiao, you're just too honest with others. You treat everyone with all your heart, but not everyone deserves your kindness. Don't you know that while you were away, Zhang Degen at the soap factory had already found someone to replace you? You trusted him so much back then and handed the soap recipe to him, and now he's done this heartless thing."
Old Mrs. Pei was extremely angry. Even though she didn't work at the soap factory, they were all villagers. Most of them remembered Li Miaomiao's kindness. As soon as they saw Zhang Degen's plan, they immediately told Old Mrs. Pei.
It's not for nothing that Old Mrs. Pei has been in Fanglin Village for so many years. She always has good friends to talk to, and someone in her family works in the soap factory, so it's easy to find out about things.
Knowing what Zhang Degen did, not only Mrs. Pei, but even Old Man Pei, who usually had a good temper, was very angry and went to Zhang Degen to argue.
But who is Zhang Degen? If he did this, he must have found a reason long ago. He gave a long speech and made a guarantee, leaving Old Man Pei speechless.
Old Man and Old Lady Pei also told their son about this matter as soon as possible. Pei Guoan asked them not to care about it, so they did. Their son was more capable than them, and they couldn't let their daughter-in-law suffer.
But now seeing Li Miaomiao, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but express her anger.
They also felt sorry for their daughter-in-law. They saw how much Li Miaomiao had done for the village. If it weren't for Li Miaomiao, the soap factory in the village would not have been able to open at all, let alone everyone living such a good life. But now they were eyeing Li Miaomiao's position.
If Li Miaomiao had heard about this for the first time, she would have felt very disappointed. Although she knew what human nature was like and she was not heartless, she had known about this matter a long time ago and had decided to move to the provincial capital. She felt relieved about some things and felt that they were unnecessary.
Especially knowing what kind of situation the village will face this year.
"Mom and Dad, don't be angry. I already knew everything. I came back today just for this matter. Since there's no place for me in the village, I'll just go to the city. You can come with us and live a good life there. We don't need technicians from the village soap factory."
Li Miaomiao knew that Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei were very angry, and the best way to vent their anger was not to point at Zhang Degen's nose and curse him, but to let them know that she had a better future.
Old man Pei and old lady Pei were stunned when they heard this, and then they burst into ecstasy.
"Miaomiao, what did you say? Are you going to the city?"
In this day and age, being able to work in the city is considered an honor to the family, let alone going to the provincial capital. Sure enough, Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei immediately lost interest in the soap factory and became concerned about this matter instead.
"Miaomiao, why are you suddenly going to the provincial capital? What kind of job have you found?"
Old Man Pei looked at Li Miaomiao with some worry, and did not get carried away by the fact that Li Miaomiao could enter the city.
It was so difficult to move to the city these days. Many people in the village racked their brains, but only a few could move into the city. The fourth son in their family was considered promising, and he married a woman who was easy to bully, so he barely managed to gain a foothold in the county town.
But a county town and a provincial capital are completely different concepts.
Mrs. Pei supported Mr. Pei and asked this question. She also thought of something and became worried. The future is not important, the daughter-in-law is the most important.
