Chapter 191 Do You Think I'm Willing?

After being admitted to a university, especially a good one like Yenching University, it is time to go back home. It was Huo Jianguo who suggested this and Su Mei did not refuse.

She also wanted to go back to see her grandfather, parents and brothers.

If they knew this, they would definitely be proud of her.

Huo Jianguo took a half-month leave, which will be deducted from the annual leave. This means that Huo Jianguo accompanied Su Mei back to her hometown and could not go back for the New Year.

Although half a month seems like a long time, it may not be enough for Huo Jianguo. He sent Su Mei home, let her stay for one night, and then had to rush back to the army.

There was not even time to send Su Mei to study in Yanjing, so Su Mei's fifth brother Su Shengxue had to take her to school.

But even so, Huo Jianguo accompanied Su Mei on the journey back home without hesitation.

He knew that Su Mei missed her grandfather, and he also knew that the news that Su Mei had been admitted to university would make her family happier than going home for the Chinese New Year.

Such great news should be announced to the whole village with loudspeakers and firecrackers.

Huo Jianguo knew how happy Su Mei was. He could imagine how excited Su Mei would be when she took out the acceptance letter.

So he didn't want to miss such a moment. He wanted to witness Su Mei's joy with his own eyes and share her happiness. In the next few years, he might miss many important moments in her life. Now he wanted to cherish them even more.

He always appeared to be very happy these days, but only he knew how much reluctance he felt in his heart.

Before returning home, Huo Jianguo received his salary for that month and handed all the money over to Su Mei.

Looking at the pay slip in her hand, Su Mei said to Huo Jianguo:

"Since we are going back, I will not take out the money. I will use some to send to my parents and pay for the tuition of my two children.

We have to go back anyway, so when we get back, we can give it to them in person, okay?"

"Okay, you have the final say." Huo Jianguo was very grateful to Su Mei: "Su Mei, thank you for your understanding of me. I know you have always been reluctant to let me pay for the tuition of my second brother's two children.

But you got your salary and still sent them tuition and living expenses on time every month. Thank you, really."

"Do you think I'm willing? I'm not a kind-hearted person, but you said the money in the salary has this purpose, I can't just take it all for myself.

Otherwise, in addition to working every day, you have to go into the mountains to hunt and sell the money to earn their tuition fees. I'm afraid you will be exhausted and die young. I just don't want to be a widow." Su Mei really, really, really, really, really didn't like Huo Jianguo supporting those two annoying naughty kids.

But she actually understands that family is a complicated thing, and many of the principles and emotions involved cannot be explained in a few words.

Just because Huo Jianguo was able to finish high school despite his family's poverty, he couldn't just give up on this family.

Huo Jianguo knew that Su Mei was not sincere, and he said seriously: "I know you care about me and don't want me to be embarrassed, so I really appreciate it."

"Alright, alright, stop thanking me. Are you annoying?" Su Mei slapped Huo Jianguo hard on the butt:

"Thank you so much. I'll give you meat tonight."

"You only show off with words. You're the one who said you wanted compensation in the daytime, and you're the one who said you didn't want it at night!"
