"Dad, there's no reason for you two old people to be separated. Besides, you don't know the situation in the city. I can only feel at ease if you and Mom go together. As for things at home, you don't have to worry. The National Security Bureau will take care of it and you won't have to worry."
Old Man Pei heard the deep meaning in Li Miaomiao's words: "Guoan wife, did something happen in the city?"
Mrs. Pei looked at Li Miaomiao worriedly when she heard this.
"Mom and Dad, I can't explain what's going on in the city right now, but I really need you to go to the city with me and help me for a while."
Li Miaomiao couldn't think of a better reason at the moment, so she simply concealed the reason and coaxed her parents-in-law to go to the provincial capital first.
Hearing the unusualness in the words, Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei looked at each other and agreed without asking for the reason. "Okay, if we can help you, we'll go. At most, we can leave these things at home to the third brother."
Pei Guoan watched as his parents were coaxed into going to the city without a care in the world by Li Miaomiao's few words, and he was afraid that even he, as their own son, would not allow them to do this.
"Mom and Dad, you've been so kind to me. I really don't know what to say."
"You're such a fool! Why are you being so polite to us? As long as you're all well, we're willing to do anything for you. If there's anything you don't want to talk about, then don't say it. We all understand."
Li Miaomiao was really touched. It was no wonder that she planned so much for the two old people.
"In that case, Dad, come with me to the village chief and get the certificate."
Everything is still not relaxed now. Even if I want to go to the provincial capital with my son, I have to get a relationship certificate in the village first, otherwise I really can't go.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Since I've decided to go to the city with you, I can get things done sooner and get to the provincial capital earlier without delaying your work."
Once Old Man Pei made a decision, he didn't hesitate and started to plan immediately.
"Then go quickly. I'll help Miaomiao cook at home."
When Old Mrs. Pei said this, she had already started to think about what to take to the provincial capital, what to leave behind, and what to entrust to others.
Li Miaomiao listened to Old Lady Pei's muttering. Although there was reluctance in her tone, there was also determination. Having such parents-in-law was truly the luckiest thing.
Li Miaomiao was a little worried about her mother's family. She could still coax her parents-in-law to move to the provincial capital and live with her in the name of helping them, but she really had no way to deal with her mother's family. Moreover, the situation in her mother's family was different. It was impossible for the old couple to follow her to the provincial capital, otherwise it would really arouse suspicion.
Fortunately, my mother's family has hidden away all the grain that has not been sold. There was a bumper harvest last year. If we live frugally, when the famine comes, even if we can't fill our stomachs, we can definitely keep the whole family from starving to death.
Li Miaomiao plans to go there tomorrow and bring two large bags of food with her. This will not be very conspicuous, and if she comes more often, her family can have a better standard of living during the famine.
When lunch was almost ready, Pei Yifan came back from school. When he arrived in the kitchen, he saw Li Miaomiao and was overjoyed: "Great, Mom, you're back. Are you here to take me to the city?"
"Yes, not only will we come to pick you up, but we'll also pick up your grandparents. They're old and need someone to take care of them."
Hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Pei Yifan's eyes brightened even more, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He was originally worried about his grandparents, after all, they were old.
"Mom, is it true? Grandpa and grandma will be willing to go to the city with us?"
Pei Yifan is small, but he is a little adult. He knows his grandparents too well. How could he bear to give up the things he is doing and go back to the city to earn a cent?
"Of course, your grandparents have already agreed. You will go to the county town with us this time."
After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Pei Yifan tacitly agreed, but turned around and asked Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei again: "Grandpa, Grandma, is this true? Did you agree to go to the provincial capital with Mom?"
"Yes, I promised. How can this be fake?"
"But why?"
Pei Yifan couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly in front of Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei without beating around the bush.
"Why is that? Your parents are busy and they're afraid they won't be able to take care of you if they go to the city, so let's go to the city together."
Pei Yifan didn't quite believe this reason, but he knew that asking wouldn't get him anything, so he gave up and didn't continue questioning Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei.
It would be best if grandparents could go to the city with them, otherwise he would be worried. If the whole family went to the provincial capital, who would take care of them?
Just like my eldest uncle and third uncle, even if something happened to my grandparents, I'm afraid they wouldn't care. My fourth uncle is more filial than my eldest uncle and third uncle, but he is in the county town and is busy with work, so he can't take care of them at all.
"Great! Grandpa and grandma, since you have agreed, you can't go back on your word, otherwise I won't agree."
Seeing their grandson's happy look, Old Man and Old Lady Pei felt unprecedented comfort. The second family really wanted the old couple to live in the provincial capital together, and their original decision was not wrong.
Among all the children and grandchildren, the eldest son's family is the most filial. The fourth son is also quite filial, but in the end...
Needless to say, the eldest and the third were really disappointed.
"No regrets. Since we've already promised your parents and have gone to the village to get the certificate, let's pack up and go to the city. We can't let your parents stay for too long. Especially your mother, she has only been working in the machinery factory for a short time, and taking too long off will have a bad impact."
"I always listen to my grandparents."
Pei Yifan was eagerly waiting for his parents to come back and take him to the provincial capital. He had already made preparations. Now he just needed to say hello to his friends in the village.
Unlike his grandparents, he did not have much attachment to this village. Instead, he was full of yearning for the provincial capital.
Li Miaomiao took advantage of the time to go back to her parents' home. This time she didn't let Pei Guoan accompany her because she carried a lot of food in a big backpack. If Pei Guoan went back with her, her parents would be worried.
"Why did you bring back so much food? Your expenses in the city are already high. Just live well and don't worry about me and your father all the time."
"Mom, since I've already carried it here, just take it with confidence. And remember what I said before, Mom, you must store more food these days."
"Remember, there's no need to tell me this. Besides, we have a large family and we don't have enough food every year. Even though we had a good harvest last year, I heard you didn't sell a single grain."
"Just remember our situation. We have a lot of people at home, and there are a lot of things to say. You just need to know some things yourself. Try to hide the food in several places and let everyone know that our family is also short of food."
