Chapter 401: Afraid of not being able to support my wife and children
As for Bai Yangfan, she felt the old man's request wasn't unreasonable, so she decided to help him if she could. After all, she was in her internship period after graduation, so she had more free time.
If she becomes a doctor in some department in the future, maybe she won't be able to leave so easily.
His wife has already agreed to the old man's request. What else can he say? He has to agree with it.
As usual, Lu Jingheng went to cook rice, Zhang Yong, Bai Han and Fei Wen went to prepare the dishes, and Xu Keshan watched from the side.
The pork belly was braised, the hairtail was fried with garlic, and the tofu was spicy. In case it wasn't enough, Bai Yangfan also steamed a large bowl of egg custard.
I took some dried kelp out and soaked it, made some cold kelp salad, and finally stir-fried some vegetables, barely making six dishes.
Everyone sat together and ate with gusto.
After Xu Keshan had eaten and drunk his fill, he turned to Lu Jingheng and asked, "Boss! My wife wants to come with us. Our kids are getting older and need to go to school. We want them to go to school in Kyoto. Do you think that's feasible?"
Lu Jingheng was stunned. He didn't expect Old Xu to ask him about this. He was a little overwhelmed and asked Bai Yangfan: "Wife! Do you think this is feasible?"
Glancing at them, Bai Yangfan nodded, "Of course it's possible. My sister-in-law has excellent taste. Rural schools can't compare to those in Kyoto. If you can come here, please do so quickly. If not for yourself, then for the children."
Tilting his head, Lu Jingheng asked Xu Keshan: "Did you hear that? My wife said it's feasible."
Zhang Yong: "Boss! Are you going to listen to Xiaobai in everything now? Where are your own opinions?"
"My wife's opinion is my opinion. From now on, my wife has the final say in my family." Lu Jingheng said proudly, "My wife has the final say in my affairs."
"Pfft!" Bai Han couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed out loud.
Lu Jingheng didn't care: "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Why bother holding it in? When you have wives, you'll understand what I mean. Marrying a wife is to pamper her. Otherwise, why marry her?"
Hearing this, Feiwen felt like someone had punched him in the heart. He felt that the boss was talking to him, implying that he didn't want to let Zhang Xiaoyan down.
Knowing that Xiaobai was the oldest among the elders, Xu Keshan did not ask him but directly asked Bai Yangfan: "Xiaobai! My wife is uneducated. She didn't even graduate from elementary school. She can't even write her own name. She is afraid that she won't be able to find a job if she comes here.
I'm always away from home, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to support three children and my wife with my salary. I've been hesitant and dare not agree to my wife's proposal, but I'm also afraid of delaying the children's studies. I feel very conflicted.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yangfan said, "Old Xu! For the sake of the children, don't miss this opportunity. It doesn't matter if my sister-in-law is uneducated. She can slowly find a job when the time comes. If that doesn't work out, she can start a small business of her own! Don't be afraid of losing face. This is all for a better life."
Fearing that Xu Keshan might have concerns, Lu Jingheng immediately took over the conversation: "Listen to my wife! We have so many brothers here, are you worried that we can't solve your wife's work problem? For the sake of the child's good future, you have to make up your mind too."
Zhang Yong also advised: "Old Xu! Don't hesitate. The teaching quality in Jingdu is the best in the country."
"Your hometown is really not good. Sister-in-law is a long-term thinker. Hurry up and get her here. Wouldn't it be great if the family could be reunited?" Fei Wen said. "If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to think over it."
Bai Han joked, "Old Xu! Are you worried that with a whole family here, the pressure will be too much and you won't be able to handle it?"
"Alas!" Xu Keshan sighed. "Old Bai, you're absolutely right. In Kyoto, people spend money the moment they open their eyes. Even a drop of water costs money. I'm really worried that my salary won't be enough to support them and their children."
He has two sons and a daughter, three children in total.
The eldest and second sons are twin boys. They are eight years old this year and should be in primary school. His wife grew up in the same village as him. She is impetuous but kind and filial.
When he was not at home, the whole family was kept tidy, and his parents also said that his wife was a good daughter-in-law.
The last time he went back, his wife had told him that she wanted to stay with him, and he had been considering it. Seeing that Lu Jingheng had retired, he was even more undecided. If he retired, he would definitely have to return to his hometown, so what would his wife do with him then?
If you don't retreat and continue working, your wife and children can follow you.
Can his salary support them?
"You're overthinking." Bai Yangfan's tone was indifferent with a hint of amusement. "The person hasn't arrived yet, why think so much? Things will work out when the time comes. Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?
If you want to come, come quickly. Your grandparents and descendants will all be Kyoto residents. If you don't want to come, give up on it as soon as possible. Although my sister-in-law is not well-educated, she has a long-term perspective and must be a smart person.
Speaking of his wife, Xu Keshan smiled and said, "Yes! My wife can handle anything except illiteracy. She is hardworking, willing to work hard, quick-witted, straightforward and insightful."
"How dare you abandon such a good wife?" Lu Jingheng was a little confused. "Why don't you quickly get her and keep her by your side? What if someone takes her away one day?"
Zhang Yong: “…” How insecure is the boss? Is he afraid that his wife will be coaxed away by someone else?
Bai Han laughed loudly and looked at Lu Jingheng meaningfully, as if to say, Boss, you are finished, you are trapped by Xiaobai and can't get away.
"No, my wife and I grew up together, we are neighbors, and she is devoted to me."
Xu Keshan's words pricked Feiwen's heart. According to him, they were childhood sweethearts. His sister-in-law was devoted to him, and Zhang Xiaoyan was also devoted to him.
It’s obvious that my sister-in-law and Old Xu are a couple who trust each other very much and are very loving.
But what about him and Zhang Xiaoyan? It was wrong for her to be so eager to do this, and it was not like a man for him to do this.
Even a man like the eldest brother listens to his wife and does what she says. He is not as good as the eldest brother. Why should he ignore the woman who loves him wholeheartedly?
I have to explain everything to Zhang Xiaoyan when I get back. Even if I can't accept her completely, I will be prepared to accept her slowly.
"That's it. Your wife is so good to you, so you should follow her words. I think she is not doing this for herself, but for the future generations of your Xu family."
Lu Jingheng was lecturing Xu Keshan seriously, and it seemed like he was doing it seriously.
Bai Yangfan glanced at him lightly and gave him an encouraging look without saying anything. Lu Jingheng received it and immediately smiled happily.
His wife praised him, which must mean she thought his words were sound and pleasing to the ear, and she praised him because she was happy.
