“Mom, I told Tingting about your trip home yesterday. Tingting said that after we drop off the children, we’ll come back and then leave.”
“I’ve also called my eldest brother and second brother over; we need to hear their opinions as well.”
"Let's write letters today and see how busy they are and how they've been all these years."
"I'll finish writing it today and mail it to them in town tomorrow. It will take quite a while to get their reply."
“Okay, Jianjun, your father and I have no objection to this.”
"Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, you've all arrived."
"Well, Jianjun, is there something important that you've called us all here?"
"Well, today's main thing is for Mom. Mom and Dad want to go back to their hometown for a visit."
"It's been decades, and I miss them a bit. Now I'm getting old too."
“That’s fine, but when should we go? Is our whole family going? But you said all the kids in the family are married.”
"We can't take them all, who's going to go?"
"Yes, they can't all go with the wedding. Not to mention the travel expenses, there are so many people in the family, they can't all go."
"And then there's spring planting, what are we going to do?"
"Your father and I mean that we will go back by ourselves. We are on our own now and can definitely get home by ourselves, so there is no need to trouble you."
“That won’t do, Mother. We’re worried too. It’s such a long way, and it won’t be a matter of just a day or two. If something happens, we won’t even be able to get there in time.”
"Brother is right, Mother. You've just recovered from your illness, but we're still worried."
"Big brother, second brother, this is what I'm thinking. We'll go after Tingting and I bring the child back."
"Then, we'll all go. Married children won't go, but unmarried children who have time can go."
“Jianjun, that’s your Fubao and Qiuqiu, and your second son’s Dabao. We really don’t have time for the others.”
"Then after we finish spring planting, we'll set off, so it won't delay anything."
“Okay, let’s settle on that then. I think it’s fine,” Brother Guo nodded.
"But how are the travel expenses calculated? Do we pay for our own travel expenses?"
“Eldest daughter, I’ve thought of this too. I’ll pay for the travel expenses, you don’t need to worry about the rest.”
“Your father and I have money, so we don’t need you to do anything.”
Jianjun and Tingting exchanged a glance but said nothing; they couldn't afford to cause trouble for themselves.
When the time comes, the things we give to our mother will be of the highest quality; they will all be given to our father and mother secretly.
I don't intend for my eldest and second eldest brothers to have any other ideas.
There were already a lot of things to deal with because several of our children got into Xiamen University. If we have to pay for everything now, there will be even more problems in the future.
I'm already stressed enough, and I don't want to cause any more trouble for my family.
Now they've all figured it out. With their own sisters-in-law's personalities, no matter what happens, they'll just stay quiet for a few days.
If they pay for the travel expenses, the whole village will find out.
That would be interesting; they'd have to handle everything, big and small.
“Mom, it’s settled then. Tingting and I will write the letter now. The paper and pen are ready.”
"Mom, Dad, do you have anything you'd like to say? I'll write it down."
"The round trip takes quite a while."
