Chapter 406
Su Changzhi couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the room full of things his wife had packed out in a large sack.
Liao Fengmei took everything, including quilts, mats, basins, bowls and chopsticks.
"Feng Mei, Feng Mei, what are you doing?"
Liao Fengmei looked at the things in the hall and said embarrassedly, "My family is worth a fortune, but these are all useful things. I have to spend money to buy them over there."
Su Changzhi shook his head. "It's too far. Qingci said that after we get ashore, we still have to take a train and a bus..."
"Leave it here. We can use it when we come back."
Liao Fengmei's eyes reflected great surprise, "Brother Dazhi, tell me, tell me we can come back in the future?"
Su Changzhi felt a little guilty looking at his wife. He missed his hometown, but this was also his wife's hometown.
"I can come back. Qingci said that the world is getting better and better now. In ten years or so, I might be able to come back anytime."
"Besides, Sigui and the others all grew up here. Even if we can't walk anymore, when they grow up, they might want to return to the place where they were raised, just like me."
Liao Fengmei nodded happily, "Well, then I won't take them with me. I'll leave them at home."
"So, what should I pack?"
Liao Fengmei was full of energy and put the sorted mats, quilts, pots and pans back into the old place.
Actually, there is nothing to clean at home.
In the end, what was packed away were a few packets of medicine that Su Changzhi was going to take, some dry goods stored at home, and a few sets of old clothes for everyone.
Su Qingci planned to wait until night when there was no one at the dock to set off. After all, with so many people, including children and the elderly, it would not be convenient to row a small boat.
In the evening, after dinner, Xu Dasheng brought his grandmother Zeng Niang and Xiaoyu over.
Su Changzhi finally secretly asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Aunt Zeng, haven't you always wanted to go back and take a look?"
Grandma Zeng Niang looked up at Su Changzhi gently and said, "I won't leave. I'll be wherever Dasheng is. Besides, Grandpa Xiaoyu is still here."
After Grandma Zeng Niang finished speaking, the light in her eyes dimmed and she looked at her son sitting opposite her.
The Xu family and the Su family are different. The Su family has relatives waiting for them in their hometown, but if the Xu family goes back, they may not even have a place to stay.
What's more, Xiaoyu is not in good health and can't stand the hard work, and Dasheng is accustomed to the life here. At his age, it is difficult for Dasheng to change the environment and reintegrate into it.
She is old and cannot destroy the children's peaceful life because of herself.
Inside the yard.
16-year-old Sigui and 14-year-old Xiaoyu also said goodbye reluctantly.
"Brother Sigui, I can't bear to leave you. Will you come back in the future?"
Sigui looked at Xiaoyu, whose eyes were blurred with tears, and said firmly, "I will come back. My home is still here. I didn't take anything with me. My dad said that I will come back for a visit when I have the chance."
"Even if my dad doesn't come, I will come back when I grow up, and then I will come to play with you."
"You have asthma, so be careful about it. Avoid eating foods that are too dry, too sweet, or have strong flavors that irritate your throat, and don't stay up late."
Xiaoyu nodded, "I understand, Brother Sigui, don't forget, you must remember to come back to see me."
Sixiang and Sijia each carried an old schoolbag, which contained their own clothes and secretly stuffed their own textbooks.
Sigui was tying two sacks onto his bicycle, which contained all the family's belongings that could be taken away.
After the door was locked, Liao Fengmei handed the key to Xu Dasheng.
"Dasheng, we don't know when we'll be back after this trip, so I'll leave the key to this house with you. You can use it if you need it, so you don't lose popularity."
"If there's a suitable family, I can rent it out to them. That's fine too. It's up to you."
Xu Dasheng was also happy. He immediately took the key from Liao Fengmei and turned to Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, you go home with grandma first. Dad will take your uncle Dazhi home."
Su Qingci took out two small flashlights from her schoolbag, handed one to Liao Fengmei to light the way, and tied the other to the bicycle.
"Alright, Uncle Xiao, Uncle Dasheng, take your time. I'll load the things to the dock and wait for you."
"Okay, be careful."
Su Qingci rode away on her bicycle. Yunhai Village was not far from the pier, about four miles away.
Su Qingci arrived there in about ten minutes by bicycle. Those who walked behind him would probably take about 20 minutes. However, Su Changzhi was not in good health, so his legs would probably be dragged down, and it might take him more than half an hour to walk. However, Xu Dasheng and Sigui might carry him on their backs, so they might arrive earlier.
Su Qingci calculated the time, turned off the flashlight, rode her bicycle around the dock twice, and quickly found the hidden reef where she had hidden last time. She cautiously released the cruise ship.
Lower the ladder and drop anchor.
After the bicycles were taken to the farm and were almost done, Su Qingci turned and headed towards the path above the pier to meet her uncle and the others.
After standing on the trail for a while, Su Qingci was about to ride her bike to pick up her uncle when she heard a sound coming from the front.
Looking closely, I saw that what was coming in the moonlight was also a bicycle.
"Miss Su?"
Qianfu carried Su Changzhi on his back and called out softly to the figure in front.
Su Qingci thought she had misheard, "Qianfu?"
In just a moment, the bicycle had stopped in front of Su Qingci, "Miss Su, it's me."
Su Qingci was a little surprised, "Why are you here? It's pitch dark."
Qianfu smiled shyly, "I ran into Uncle Dasheng at the dock this morning, and he mentioned to me that you might be leaving."
"Well, I couldn't sleep at night, and I thought it would be inconvenient for your cruise ship to come to the dock during the day, and you might leave at night, so I rode my uncle's bicycle to the dock to try my luck, and I didn't expect to actually run into you."
"Miss Su, why did you leave in such a hurry? I was going to invite you to dinner tomorrow to thank you for saving my life."
Su Qingci smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I've been out for so long, and there's been no news from home. I'm afraid they're going crazy looking for me."
Qianfu took down two bags from his bicycle. "They're not fancy stuff. They're just big cuttlefish that my mom dried herself, and some worthless seafood. Don't be disgusted."
Su Qingci was not polite, "Thank you, Qianfu, I appreciate your kindness."
The three of them stood at the dock for a while when Xu Dasheng and Liao Fengmei and her son arrived late.
Qianfu also boarded the cruise ship and carefully explained to Su Qingci again how to operate the control room, how to start and how to turn.
A rumbling sound was heard on the silent sea. Qianfu and Xu Dasheng stood on the beach, waving to the people on the deck.
"Have a safe journey~"
Su Changzhi looked at the coastline that was getting farther and farther away, and his eyes became hot. This was the place he had always wanted to escape from. Now that he was really about to leave, a complex feeling of melancholy rose in his heart for no reason.
On the shore, Xu Dasheng patted Qianfu's shoulder and said, "Let's go. It just so happens that you are riding a bicycle. Give Uncle Dasheng a ride. Your sister Su left something for you."
"You still have a conscience. It's worth it that your sister Su is thinking about you."
