"You'd better hurry up and give the Jiang family a child to appease them."
"And what about you? When are you going to have a baby to appease the Fang family? I think your grandmother is not someone to be trifled with either," Tang Wenwen said gloatingly.
Although Xiao Si's wife was reluctant to let them go, Tang Wenwen and the others only stayed for three days. One reason was that Jiang Fusheng still had work to do, and another was that he couldn't wait to spend some time alone with Tang Wenwen.
After seeing Tang Wenwen off, Qin Xiaoyu made a special phone call to Wang Lingling.
Wang Lingling confidently assured that the goods would be shipped out immediately and there would definitely be no problems.
Even so, Qin Xiaoyu still felt a vague unease in Mo Ming's heart.
Qin Xiaoyu returned home and immediately began a flurry of activity. A Lei, on the other hand, was very responsible; after his suggestion to find Hanhan a good school was rejected, he personally took charge of Hanhan's education.
“I’m really angry.” Are threw the book on the table.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu quickly put down the report in her hand and went over.
"Hanhan recited an English text today, but her pronunciation was a big problem. You know, once a language is deeply ingrained, it's very difficult to change it."
Qin Xiaoyu, with her Level 8 English proficiency, certainly understood. She had no choice; for a long time in Northeast China, she had been learning two languages simultaneously. There were far more people skilled in Russian, but very few English teachers, let alone good ones—they were as rare as phoenix feathers.
“Last time, Wenwen found a piano teacher for her younger sister in Shanghai, but she came for only a week and then ran back home, saying it was too cold and would hurt her skin.” Zhou Xing’s mother was worried about her younger sister’s piano lessons.
"Mom, I have a young and immature idea. How about we move the whole family south?" Qin Xiaoyu said, mustering her courage.
"Southward migration?"
"Yes, Dad's health isn't good right now, and the cold Northeast isn't suitable for him to recuperate. It would be better for him to go to Guangzhou."
“What about Zhou Yue? The child is so young, she won’t be able to take care of him if we leave.” Zhou Xing’s mother immediately shook her head.
“Let’s go together. Anyway, my brother-in-law’s job is dispensable. It would be even better if he could be transferred there. If not, we can just open our own private clinic and not have to work or be managed by anyone. The children can receive a good education. The teaching level in Guangzhou is much better than in the Northeast.” The more Qin Xiaoyu talked, the more feasible the plan seemed.
"What you said makes me a little more inclined to believe it. This old man is a deep thinker. Maybe I should slowly try to get his thoughts out of him and see what he means."
“I think it’s a good idea. My fourth brother’s situation is stable now, and after his wife gives birth, she can go anywhere without any problem. It’s just that I’m worried about my wife. I’ll see what she thinks. If she wants to stay, she can live with them. If she wants to leave, I’ll take her with me.”
“It’s not easy to handle things here with Madam. She’s getting old, and leaving her hometown will probably be difficult for her.” Zhou Xing’s mother had also thought of this.
Hearing Qin Xiaoyu finally utter a word, A Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Something doesn't feel right to me. Did you have this idea from the beginning of our marriage, and then gradually infiltrate it to get rid of me?" Qin Xiaoyu realized that she seemed to have been tricked.
"I'm not that farsighted; you're making me sound too amazing," A Lei said modestly, a rare occurrence for him.
"Actually, I'm overcomplicating things. Transportation will be more developed in the future, and we can settle down on both sides. Traveling back and forth won't be a problem." Qin Xiaoyu explained the high-speed rail to A Lei, opening up a whole new world for him.
With the plan to relocate south in mind, Qin Xiaoyu began to manage the properties here. It was time to make some moves regarding the land deeds that Lei Bingzheng had helped her reclaim last time.
I'm not in a hurry to cash out, but the country is currently undergoing reforms and new policies are being introduced one after another. If things go wrong, I could lose a lot of money.
Although there were readily available top lawyers, Qin Xiaoyu was reluctant to use them. This time, she hired someone she knew well. Lawyer Liu took the documents and began the investigation.
The snow was still very heavy this winter, and my wife's health was clearly not as good as last year. A year is a very big step for an elderly person, and she has already struggled to take it.
Since the passageway has been repaired and there's no need to worry about slippery snow, she still goes to Building 4 every day to sunbathe, nap, and listen to the young people talk in ways she doesn't understand.
"Madam, if—I mean if I take you to Guangzhou—would you go?" Qin Xiaoyu began to try and entice his wife.
"Why not go? Guangzhou is a wonderful city with spring-like weather all year round. I don't want to come back." Wang Lei overheard this and interrupted.
“Then let’s go,” the wife said with a smile.
"Spring is here, so I'll accompany Madam on a trip." Qin Xiaoyu also planned to follow A Lei's example and gradually introduce things to her; she was afraid that if she said too much at once, Madam wouldn't be able to accept it.
Commander Zhou's job was surprisingly easy; Zhou Xing's mother brought back a message that he had already agreed.
"Does my boss really want to go, or is he just thinking about us?"
“Your father said that home is where family is. He has fought in so many places, he doesn’t care where he lives anymore.” Zhou Xing’s mother’s smile was tinged with bitterness.
Qin Xiaoyu suddenly realized that Guangzhou was where Zhou Xing spent his last days. They probably wanted to go back and see it again.
She received Qin Xiaoye's call around 5 PM. Qin Xiaoye's voice was a little hoarse, probably after a heated argument.
"Come quick, the counter is going to fall."
Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei flew to Shanghai immediately. Before boarding the plane, she already knew what had happened.
No one could have imagined that Wang Lingling, who seemed honest and simple, would dare to do something so big.
After arriving at the new factory, Wang Lingling did not follow the work plan drawings brought by the head office. Instead, she replaced all the styles that went into production with her own designs.
It was almost dark when the plane arrived in Shanghai, and the departure process took some time, so it was impossible to get in in front of the No. 1 Department Store.
When they suddenly appeared at the Fang family home, Mrs. Fang could not hide her surprise and delight.
"Why are you back? How long are you staying?"
"We have some business to attend to, and we don't know how many days we'll be staying. Grandma, we're hungry; the airplane food is terrible." A Lei tried to divert Mrs. Fang's attention.
Qin Xiaoyu had already informed Qin Xiaoye that she would be arriving today, but they hadn't received a call from her yet. So they went to Qin Xiaoye's place instead.
This is a house I found near the No. 1 Department Store. The landlord is a Shanghai woman who lives alone and has a very refined lifestyle. She rented out the attic to Qin Xiaoye.
At the time, Qin Xiaoyu thought the house was too small, but Qin Xiaoye insisted on renting it, saying it suited her status perfectly. Qin Xiaoqian then couldn't insist any further.
Qin Xiaoye hadn't returned yet. The landlord was good at judging people. Seeing Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei's clothes, he generously told them to sit in the living room and wait.
It was 10:30 p.m. when Qin Xiaoye hurriedly came in from outside and was surprised to see them.
"I was about to go upstairs to call you, but you're all here now," she said, blushing.
Qin Xiaoyu really wanted to know who she had gone out with so late, but after thinking about it, she held back. Their sisterly relationship wasn't as close as others'. Qin Xiaoye had her reasons for not wanting to say; she still needed her own private space.
"This is the notice of store closure." Qin Xiaoye handed over a piece of paper.
