Yu's father interrupted Yu's mother and said to Yu Nanfang, "Nannan, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. This is where your sister was born!"
Yu's mother was unwilling to give up. Just as she was about to continue speaking to vent her anger, Yu's father stepped hard on the table.
Even though the couple were arguing under the table, on the surface, Father Yu did not let anyone notice any change in his mood.
"Nannan, it's a picturesque place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."
"There are the simplest people, the sweetest fruit nectar, the most intoxicating wine, and the most delicious wild mountain vegetables. If you have the chance, you must visit Jiameng Town and see the place where your mother and I fought for our youth, where our youth once burned."
There was something literary about Yu's father's words.
Yu Nanfang asked, "Dad, is it really that beautiful there?"
"yes."
Yu's father responded with a smile.
"I've dreamed countless times of returning to Jiameng Town. Let me tell you, there's a kind of cherry in Jiameng Town with a thin skin and delicious taste. It ripens in early summer and hangs on the treetops. It's absolutely beautiful."
Yu's mother lowered her head and looked at Yu's father's feet, which were stepping on her shoes.
The handmade sheepskin shoes she had specially customized were deformed by being stepped on.
Yu's father's hand also pressed her hand hard.
Even though she had many, many, many things to say, she finally swallowed them silently.
Yu Nanfang asked curiously, "Sister, what is your best memory of Jiameng Town?"
"It's the white clouds all over the sky." Yu Beifang said with a smile, "Back then I was herding cattle. Some of us half-grown kids would lie on the backs of the cattle, and I would just lie on the backs of the cattle, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above my head. Also, the taste of the zheergen is very delicious!"
When Yu Nanfang heard the taste of Houttuynia cordata, he immediately said with disgust: "Sister, how can you think Houttuynia cordata is delicious? To me, I think it is the most unpalatable thing in the world."
"Everyone has different preferences. What you don't like, I really like."
Yu Beifang was very envious of Yu Nanfang, because she was the apple of his eye, the apple of everyone's eye.
And she is a wild grass born in Jiameng Town.
She had to be tenacious and absorb the sun and rain to have the life she has today.
Yu Nanfang still found it incredible. Why did his parents and sister have two completely different feelings about the same place?
Ye Yunkai and Qiao Nian looked at each other and saw that dinner was almost finished.
"Old Yu, on behalf of the people of Jiameng, I welcome you back to visit. Jiameng Town is undergoing rapid changes. Every household has electricity, and roads connect to every home. We now have furniture stores, agricultural product factories, wineries, and kimchi factories! Not only that, they've even established the nation's first girls' school..."
When Father Yu heard Ye Yunkai say this, he asked in surprise, "You mean, a girls' school?"
Yu's mother was also shocked and asked, "Ye Yunkai, are you lying? The people in Jiameng Town really value sons over daughters. I remember when we were there, those people tried every possible way to have a son. How could they possibly be willing to spend money to send a girl to school?"
Ye Yunkai knew that Yu's mother disliked them, so he deliberately slapped her in the face and said, "This school was built by us, Linlang. My father and mother are the main responsible persons. The tuition for the girls' school, from the first grade of elementary school to the third year of high school, is all free, including living expenses and accommodation. Now that they have been admitted to university, we will also provide their tuition. During the winter and summer vacations, we will also recommend them to work and study!"
