Through Liang Chao's matchmaking, Yu Yin signed an agreement with the transportation brigade to rent two of their warehouses for 30 yuan per month for three years.
Meanwhile, at the printing factory, Liang Chao also interviewed Zhao Tong. He thought the young man was a good person, perceptive, and pragmatic, and decided to give him a one-month trial period.
At this point, Green Sprouts Dried Goods Store had a store manager and two sales clerks.
Ah Xiang sent a telegram saying that the goods had been loaded onto the train and asked Yu Yin to be ready to receive them. She also sent the train number and batch number.
Yu Yin told Liang Chao to hurry up and compile market prices for dried goods, as the goods would be arriving soon.
The outer packaging gift box designed by Professor An has been completed and handed over to Zhao Tong and Liang Chao for negotiation. Yu Yin no longer interfered. Her father and Yu Kang are coming. They will arrive by train tomorrow, and she and Lu Shurui will have to pick them up at the station.
Liang Chao told her not to worry about the shop, they would take care of it.
Yu Yin gave up and cleaned the house again, preparing to pick someone up from the train station the next day.
There were still more than ten days until the start of the school year, and the students hadn't even registered yet. Yu Yin and Lu Shurui were waiting for Yu Kang and his father at the station entrance, afraid that they might miss them.
"Second sister, second brother-in-law."
Yu Yin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slightly immature young man waving his hand vigorously. Next to him was her father, who was also holding a child's hand.
"Yu Kang, Dad, over here."
"Wow, there are so many people! It took me ages to find you all."
Yu Kang's clothes were crumpled and tattered on the train, and they even smelled rancid.
"Anze, say hello," said Mr. Yu to his eldest grandson.
"Hello, Second Aunt and Second Uncle."
“Anze is so big now, his aunt wouldn’t recognize him if he walked down the street.”
A teenager going through puberty, whose voice is about to change, has a hoarse voice.
"Let's go home first, it's too hot."
Lu Shurui took the luggage from his father-in-law and hurried outside.
It was an hour later before they all got home.
"Grandpa, Uncle, did you miss us?" An'an stepped forward to greet them first, as he still had some memories of his uncle and grandfather.
"Pingping, An'an, hurry up, slowly, your little uncle is here."
Yu Kang hugged each of the four children in turn. They had all grown up, especially Pingping, who was almost up to his shoulder.
Mr. Yu greeted Grandpa and Grandma Lu. After so many years, this was the first time the in-laws had met.
Grandpa and Grandma Lu expressed their apologies on behalf of the Lu family, as they were not present at Yu Yin's wedding.
Mr. Yu said politely, "There's nothing we can do about it; the distance is too great."
Yu Yin then arranged for her father and Yu Kang to take Anze to take a shower first, and then have dinner before continuing their conversation.
At the dinner table, Pingping and An'an quickly became familiar with Anze. Anze was a few years older than Pingping and An'an and seemed like the older brother.
Grandpa Lu and Father Yu chatted about their recent situations and work, and finally talked about their children. This was basically the content of a conversation between in-laws on their first meeting.
Mr. Yu took out the local specialties he had brought for the children, as well as a large bag of things prepared by his sister-in-law.
How are my sister-in-law and the others?
“Your sister-in-law and the others are doing well. Anna is coming this time too, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to take care of the two children by myself when I go back. The little girl cried so hard.”
Mr. Yu knew that his eldest daughter-in-law and Yu Yin had a close relationship and often exchanged letters. Yu Yin probably already knew about the family matters, so Mr. Yu didn't say anything more. Yu Yin wasn't interested in her mother and Yu Qing's affairs, so she didn't ask her father.
Mr. Yu came on vacation this time, but he won't stay for more than a few days, as he spent most of his time traveling.
I'll go to Yu Kang's school tomorrow to get a general idea of what's going on, and then I'll feel at ease when I get back.
Yu Kang is a child born late in life, and judging from his attitude, he wants to stay with Yu Yin.
Mr. Yu did not object to his youngest son's choice. The boy had a good relationship with his second sister since childhood, and when they passed away in the future, they could take care of each other because they were close sisters.
Mr. Lu came over after getting off work in the evening. The two in-laws, who were about the same age, chatted quite congenially and even drank some baijiu (Chinese liquor).
Yu Yin felt that her father and father-in-law were in the same boat, both having troublesome daughters-in-law, which made her laugh.
Yu Yin and Lu Shurui have been married for ten years. This is the first time that their fathers have met, and they have both had a bit too much to drink.
The two, sharing the same plight, had a lot to talk about; they were practically brothers in misfortune.
When Mr. Yu woke up the next day, he had a headache. He had drunk a lot of alcohol the night before, and he didn't remember how he got into bed.
"Dad, this is honey water. Drink some quickly. You drank too much yesterday."
"Where is your father-in-law? Did he go home last night?"
At this moment, Yu's father thought of his in-laws who had been drinking with him, wondering how they were doing.
"I didn't go back. How could I go back after drinking so much? I've already gotten up, had some honey water, and gone to work."
Last night, Lu's father also drank too much. There was nothing Yu Yin could do, so she asked Lu Shurui to help his father to An'an and Manman's room. She and her two daughters slept on the big bed, while Lu Shurui and his father slept in the other room.
At times like this, Yu Yin thinks about buying a big house, a big house with many rooms. That way, when guests come, there will be a place for them to sleep, and the children will each have their own rooms.
After breakfast, Yu Yin and Lu Shurui, along with their four children, accompanied Yu's father and his two grandchildren to visit Yu Kang's school.
The school is not in Yin's district, and there is no direct bus. You need to transfer and it takes more than an hour to get there. It's not a short distance.
Registration hadn't started yet, the gates were closed, and they couldn't get in. They could only walk around the school from the outside.
That day, Yu Yin and her group visited many famous scenic spots and ate a lot of local delicacies. The children were extremely excited, as they hadn't had so much fun in a long time.
Anze really likes his second aunt's house, and he also enjoys playing with Ping An and An An.
As the leader of the children, Yu Kang stopped accompanying Yu Yin and the others from the third day onwards, and the children wandered around on their own.
She gradually stopped going; she still preferred to paint quietly.
On the fifth day, Yu's father had to go back. Anze was very reluctant to see him go, but there was nothing he could do, as he also had to start school.
Yu Yin prepared a lot of Shanghai specialties, especially for her sister-in-law, filling two large bags.
This time, they didn't know when they would meet again. Yu Yin was a little reluctant to part with her father, and her father was also reluctant to part with his children.
"Grandpa, when will you come again? We'll miss you."
Pingping and the others also like their maternal grandfather very much and want him to visit them often.
The father promised to visit them when he had time, and when they were a little older, he would have their mother take them to their maternal grandfather's house to see where their mother was born.
Anze promised that he would keep in touch with Pingping and the others frequently after he returned.
An'an and the others said they would write back to him. She's really something; she's been corresponding with the Chu brothers all along.
Even if it's hard to leave, the time to go has come.
