"Moreover, Hong Guo still needs to prioritize his studies. The holiday is more than halfway over, so he has to pick up his books and read them. Otherwise, when classes start again, he'll probably forget everything he learned before."
Fu Hongxing nodded after listening to his wife's words and said, "You're right. Making money isn't something to rush. Things aren't stable right now. We can decide whether to do it or not once things have stabilized."
Hearing his elder brother and sister-in-law say so, Fu Hongguo could only nod in agreement.
"By the way, Xiuhua sent a telegram saying that she should be able to come back this year."
Thinking of the telegram he received today, Fu Hongxing said to Ning Jing.
Ning Jing looked up in surprise: "Really? She's been saying she'd come back, but she's been putting it off year after year, it's been years already!"
Thinking about how Xiuhua is now 31 years old, she got married 5 years ago.
However, the circumstances at the time were not suitable, so Xiuhua simply sent back a telegram saying that she had gotten married to her colleague.
The others, however, were not explained in detail.
After learning of her marriage, Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing sent back all the allowances she had sent back every year.
Of course, there was also an extra 200 yuan subsidy from the older brother and sister-in-law.
The letter to Xiuhua made it very clear that it wasn't just her who had this; all her younger siblings got married this way.
Later, Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing thought that since they couldn't go to Xiuhua's wedding, they should bring her husband back to show them during the Spring Festival.
However, year after year, they kept saying they would come back, but they never did.
When Ning Jing heard Fu Hongxing say this this year, she was initially pleasantly surprised, but then she sighed and gave up hope.
Fu Hongxing didn't explain much; in the past, he might have comforted his wife.
But year after year, there was no explanation in the letters, and even if he wanted to say something on Xiuhua's behalf, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He waved for Fu Hongguo to leave first, and then after a long pause, Fu Hongxing said something surprising.
"Honey, I want to quit my job here!"
Fu Hongxing thought about it for a long time before finally telling Ning Jing the idea that he had considered countless times.
During this past month or so, although I knew that my second brother had accompanied his wife to Shenzhen, I figured nothing would happen.
However, he would always wake up in the middle of the night.
Touching the spot where his wife used to be, he found it cold and lifeless, and felt a pang of sadness.
Longing and worry intertwined in my heart.
When he saw his wife return and then saw her bankbook, as a man, he felt that he could no longer stay stuck in that coal mine job, earning a fixed salary of a hundred or so yuan until he was old.
He hoped to earn a lot of money so that his wife could stay comfortably at home without her face getting so tanned, which would break his heart to see her like that.
When Ning Jing heard Fu Hongxing say this, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but she understood what he meant.
The coal in Fu Hongxing's coal mine has been almost completely mined out. The mine is not producing much coal, so its profitability is naturally poor.
Living beyond their means perfectly describes their current situation.
Fu Hongxing did nothing but take a little over a hundred yuan; he certainly wouldn't feel very comfortable about it.
If they don't do it, it's only a matter of time.
“Okay, if you quit your job there, we’ll come home and find another way to earn money to support the family.”
Ning Jing was determined that even if she didn't go to Shenzhen, she could still achieve great things in Siping City.
