Yang's mother nodded repeatedly. Yang Yang's eldest uncle was a college student, and his second uncle was a high school student. It would be too easy for them to teach an elementary school student.
Besides, she still needed to pack some things to take the young couple to the capital, and it would be troublesome to have the child with them.
He turned and went into the inner room, and after a while he came out with a large package: "In-law, this is all Yang Yang's things. Please help me carry it."
Mrs. Ma felt a pang of sadness. In this day and age, Yang's mother's clothes were still patched, while her grandson's clothes were spotless.
I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'll wait for my sister-in-law to come home and then find two scraps of cloth to make her two outfits.
Sister-in-law Ma took Yangyang back to Mushroom Village. When Village Chief Ma heard what his wife said, he shook his head and sighed, "What goes around comes around."
Back then, when my daughter got married, many village girls were extremely envious. Who wouldn't want to marry into a town and get a government-subsidized job?
But now, those village girls who married local men are living a life where, if not every day, they can at least eat meat once a week.
Compared to other village girls, Ma Minghua's family was not as well-off. Fortunately, Yang Limin treated Ma Minghua very well, which made him better than many others.
The train had already sounded its whistle. Yang Limin told his mother to go back and rest for two days before going to his mother-in-law's house, otherwise he wouldn't feel comfortable leaving an elderly person alone.
Yang's mother nodded repeatedly, waved goodbye to the couple, and hoped that Nan Nan would take good care of the two children.
Yan Xiaonan worked overtime last night so that she could find time to pick up Ma Minghua today.
But because she worked an extra shift, little Ye got upset. She kept watching the time, waiting for her mother to come home and hug her.
But after she fell asleep, her mother still hadn't come back. Her brother even said that her mother must be like her father, having become friends with her work.
Hearing Cuihua's words, Yan Xiaonan's heart broke. Even though she could barely open her eyes, she insisted on drawing a picture and placing it by the child's pillow.
The little girl woke up in the morning and the first thing she did was look for her mother, but she couldn't find her anywhere, so she started to cry in frustration.
Ye Tianru ran out with a drawing: "Don't cry, little sister, look what Mommy drew."
Ye Yushu glanced at it, and her tears slowly stopped. In the painting, her father was holding her older brother, and her mother was holding her, standing at the foot of Mushroom Mountain in Beijing.
The majestic mountains are lush and verdant, and the silhouette of a tiger can be seen faintly within them.
"Brother, did Mom say she was going to take us there to ride tigers?" Ye Yushu asked softly.
Ye Tianru smiled and nodded, agreeing with him.
Ye Yushu stopped crying: "Grandma, I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth, then eat, then read and wait for Mom."
Cuihua nodded repeatedly. Her precious child was already learning those tadpole-like characters at such a young age. Old Master Ye was too strict.
As Yan Xiaonan watched the train slowly approach, her consciousness spread outwards, and she immediately saw Ma Minghua's expression, which was both nervous and excited.
She ran over immediately, shouting, "Minghua, Minghua, I'm here!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ma Minghua peeked out and saw a delicate and beautiful smiling face appear in her eyes.
In an instant, all of Ma Minghua's fear and tension vanished, and she waved her hand and shouted, "Nan Nan, I'm here, I'm here!"
"Don't rush, Minghua, don't get off the bus right away. Pass your luggage to me through the window." Yan Xiaonan stopped Ma Minghua from squeezing off the bus.
Yang Limin hesitated. Could such a delicate girl handle such heavy luggage?
Ma Minghua pushed her luggage out the window without hesitation, determined to see who was stronger than Nan Nan.
The three of them dragged five large bags of luggage forward. Yan Xiaonan dragged two bags, Yang Limin dragged two bags, and Ma Minghua carried only one bag, which was the smallest one.
"Minghua, what did you bring? There's so much!" Yan Xiaonan asked.
“Our bedding, clothes, and other things, as well as some food from our hometown, things that my mother and mother-in-law gave to Grandma and you,” Ma Minghua said, panting.
Yan Xiaonan fell silent, wondering if she could fit these things into the car.
The two packets I had were soft, so I should be able to fit them in the trunk. If I put the two packets in the back seat, then Ma Minghua would have to sit next to me.
Yang Limin could only carry the small bag in her hands, but in that case, she probably wouldn't be able to see the right-side rearview mirror. Ugh, what a hassle.
Fortunately, the Santana could hold quite a lot of cargo, and Yan Xiaonan managed to stuff a small bag and two large bags inside.
Ma Minghua sat in the middle of the back seat, almost squashed flat by the two large bags of luggage on either side.
Seeing Ma Minghua's distressed appearance, Yan Xiaonan couldn't help but laugh: "Minghua, I told you not to bring anything, look how tired you are."
Ma Minghua shook her head. No matter how tired you are, you really can't leave out the things you need to bring; it's a matter of courtesy.
The car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house: "Minghua, from now on, your workplace and residence will be here."
Looking at the messy construction materials in the yard, and the smiling faces of Old Man Chen and Mother Chen, Ma Minghua nodded. What a nice place.
They were taken to the room where Bei Nan used to live. It was clean and the bedding was all new.
Ma Minghua wailed, knowing that this would mean she could carry one less package.
Looking at the room, which was much more luxurious than his own, Yang Limin couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. How could he possibly accept this?
"Starting today, you'll be working. Your wages will be set at fifty yuan a month for now. Once the shop is up and running, I'll adjust the wages accordingly," Yan Xiaonan said.
"No, that's too high," Ma Minghua objected. She only earned sixteen yuan a month at the supply and marketing cooperative; fifty yuan would be terrifying.
“Minghua, prices are high in the capital. I will only provide you with accommodation; you will have to pay for your own food. If you are willing to share with my grandparents, you can contribute to buy vegetables and coal.”
Yang Limin nodded. Fifty yuan was a lot of money, but if Nannan could give so much, the work must be difficult.
Nan Nan asked him to work as a pre-sales and after-sales customer service representative. He didn't know what customer service was, but Nan Nan said there was a place for him to learn, so he studied hard.
As for Minghua, she was there to work as an embroiderer, or rather, a tailor, because of her excellent skills.
"Once the renovations are finished, a few more people will come over, so don't worry. Get some rest today, and I'll pick you up tomorrow to visit my grandma."
Chen's mother also said with a smile, "Go take a shower quickly, then eat, and then go to sleep. The train journey is tiring."
Ma Minghua agreed wholeheartedly and quickly found a change of clothes, telling Yang Limin to take a shower first while she tidied up her things.
These are for Grandpa and Grandma Chen, so we need to take them out. These are for Grandma Yan, so we'll prepare those too.
These are my change of clothes. I'll wash them later and then tidy things up. Hmm, this place is really nice.
