"Momo, your uncle Guo likes to drink. I thought about taking out a bottle of Wuliangye and asking your aunt to give it as a return gift to the Guo family. What do you think?"
"Mom, you can make the decision on these matters, no need to ask me."
Huang Zhiqiu explained: "Wuliangye is so expensive, I was just afraid that Xiaoling would have a problem with it."
"He won't."
"That's good."
After a pause, Huang Zhiqiu suddenly sighed, "If it weren't for Huang Yao, I might have become an aunt."
Yun Mo then understood that Huang Zhiqiu gave the Guo family five liquid grains out of a sense of compensation and debt.
Yun Yao just patted her butt and returned to Jiang City to become the eldest daughter, but she caused a lot of mess for the Huang family.
Yun Mo lashed out at Yun Yao in her heart, but she said, "Mom, since you want to give a generous gift, then follow the etiquette. Talk to my aunt and ask her to pick an auspicious day and bring cigarettes, alcohol and candy to the Guo family to formally finalize the matter.
This way we can show our sincerity without making people think that our Huang family is trying to get ahead of us."
Huang Zhiqiu nodded happily, "You are very thoughtful. I will talk to my sister-in-law about it tonight."
"In addition to Wuliangye, let's add a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and a can of ginseng slices. Let my aunt prepare the rest herself."
"good."
In the evening, Huang Zhiqiu went to Liu Zhi's room with the things Yun Mo mentioned.
"Sister-in-law, we are going to the city early tomorrow morning, so I'll have to trouble you to look after Mom and the family. These things are a little gift from Momo and I, so pick a good day and take them to the Guo family to settle Xiaoyu's matter as soon as possible."
Seeing the things Huang Zhiqiu gave him, Liu Zhi repeatedly declined, "No, these are all Xiaoling's gifts to you, I can't take them. Zhiqiu, I appreciate your and Momo's kindness, please put the things away."
"Sister-in-law, just take it. I don't smoke or drink, and these things will just gather dust if left there."
"But this, this is too expensive..."
"I owe Xiaoyu this. If it weren't for me, Xiaoyu and Xuezhen would have gotten married long ago."
Liu Zhi sighed, took Huang Zhiqiu's hand and opened his heart.
"Zhiqiu, I won't hide it from you. After Huang Yao stole the money and ran away, I was quite resentful towards you. But since Momo came back and paid for Mom's leg treatment, which reduced our burden and paid off the family debt, I suddenly understood.
What is good is not a disaster, and what is a disaster cannot be avoided. No one can take away what is yours, and what is not yours cannot be kept.
Just like Momo, she is your biological daughter, even though she was lost for 18 years, she still came back to you. "
Liu Zhi didn't say anything else, but Huang Zhiqiu could understand it.
It was nothing more than hinting that Huang Yao, the adopted daughter, was not a member of their Huang family, so she could not be kept, and she should stop being sad.
But how can we just let go of the 18-year mother-daughter relationship?
Huang Zhiqiu felt sad, but responded, "Sister-in-law, I understand. Yaoyao is living well with her biological parents now. I have nothing to worry about."
"Zhiqiu, Momo is married now, don't you have to make plans for yourself? Don't think I'm being nosy. Although my parents don't say anything, they are always thinking about you."
Huang Zhiqiu smiled faintly, "Sister-in-law, I understand that you are doing this for my own good. If I meet someone suitable, I will consider it carefully."
Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's how it should be. No matter if you are a man or a woman, you should always find a companion, so that you won't be lonely when you are old, without anyone to talk to."
Huang Zhiqiu nodded.
The next day, Yun Mo and Ling Chuan, together with Huang Zhiqiu, Huang Yu, Chen Bin, and a total of 80 workers, plus Guo Xuezhen, took three buses.
The bus was a special car that Yunmo called from the city through Boss Zhang, and a round trip fare was 80 yuan.
There are nearly 30 people on a bus including the driver, but there are only 19 seats on the bus, so the rest of the people can only squeeze in the aisle.
In order to avoid conflicts caused by fighting over seats, Yun Mo took out the number plates she had prepared in advance and asked everyone to draw lots.
After making sure that all the workers were on board, Yun Mo and the Huang family got into Wu Dazhi's van.
After getting in the car, Yun Mo took out a red envelope and gave it to Wu Dazhi.
"Brother Dazhi, Happy New Year. Thank you for coming to pick us up so early in the morning."
Wu Dazhi accepted the red envelope and smiled brightly, "Thank you, Miss Yun, you are so polite. This is what I should do."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Dazhi asked, "Is everyone here? Then I'll drive?"
Yun Mo looked around and suddenly thought of something. She turned around and asked Huang Yu behind her.
"Where's Sister Xuezhen? Didn't you ask her to sit with us?"
Huang Yu quickly replied: "She was called, but she was afraid of gossip, so she wanted to take the bus with the others."
Yun Mo nodded and said nothing.
Because we set off late, by 12 noon we were still an hour's drive from Anshi.
Considering that after arriving at the factory, everyone still has to make their beds and clean up their dormitories, it is definitely not an option to go hungry.
Yun Mo found an open space for the bus to stop and let the workers get off to get some fresh air and relieve their physiological problems. She, Ling Chuan, and Chen Bin took Wu Dazhi's van to a nearby town to buy food.
It was Chinese New Year and many shops were closed, so I could only buy some steamed buns and cakes.
Fortunately, people in rural areas are very hardworking and will eat whatever they are given as long as they can fill their stomachs.
Yun Mo and the Huang family distributed the food to everyone one by one.
When the message was sent to Guo Xuezhen, Yun Mo noticed that she looked unhappy. She waved her hand and refused the red bean cake she gave her, saying that she had no appetite.
I know without asking that the other person must be carsick.
Yun Mo went back to the van, got her own water cup, added some spiritual spring water into it, and then gave it to Guo Xuezhen to drink.
Guo Xuezhen was reluctant to drink at first, "No, I'm not that thirsty."
Judging from the other person's awkward look, he was probably afraid of having to go to the toilet during the trip.
This era was not like later generations. There were service areas and public toilets at regular intervals, and even shopping malls and various delicious restaurants.
But here, if you want to relieve yourself on the way, you can only squat in a grass nest or find a place where there is no one.
Yun Mo could understand the other party's worries very well. She remembered that when she first came to Liu'an Town, she almost suffocated to death because of her urine in the car. Finally, when she went to the toilet in the wild grass, the grass cut several small cuts on her buttocks and thighs.
"Drink less. You'll feel better after drinking. Besides, we'll be at the dormitory in an hour. The dormitory has everything."
After hearing this, Guo Xuezhen took the cup and took two small sips.
"Thanks."
Guo Xuezhen hesitated to speak, as if she was struggling with how to address her.
Yun Mo twisted the lid of the cup and said with a smile: "Sister Xuezhen, you can call me Xiaomo or Momo."
Guo Xuezhen nodded quickly, "Then I'll call you Momo too. I heard Brother Yu call you that."
"Yeah, okay."
Before leaving, Yun Mo secretly stuffed a few tangerine peel candies into Guo Xuezhen's hand.
