After the New Year, Yu Qiuying transferred the breakfast shop on Central Street to Yu Qingxiu. She focused her main energy on the food stalls and restaurants. When someone wanted to rent a house, she also had to go to the school district area, which was quite tiring.
Originally, she made money to improve her life. Now that she has achieved some success, not to mention the income from the restaurant and food stall, she earns a considerable amount of money every month just from rent. There is really no need for her to make herself so tired.
Yu Qiuying didn't buy any more houses. There was no need. Now it was just her and Zhou Jiahong living together, so there was no need to buy so many houses.
She has a house, a car, and savings; she's content.
She's fifty years old this year; it's time for her to enjoy life.
So Yu Qiuying handed everything over to Zhou Jiahong and took her parents on a trip.
Capital cities, Central Asia, Jiangnan region...
This trip lasted for more than three months.
When Yu Qiuying returned with her parents, Xu Yingying was about to give birth.
"These photos are really good." Liu Tianhua looked at the photos taken by Yu Qiuying and the two elders one by one, while listening to Wang Huimei talk about what she had seen and heard on this trip. She was so envious.
"In this life, one really should go out and travel, to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, so that one's life is not in vain," Yu Changfu said with emotion.
"Well, when we have time in the future, Zhigang and I will go out and have some fun," Liu Tianhua said.
Yu Qiuying said, "I think we shouldn't wait until later. Let's go now if we want to."
In this life, we are always waiting—waiting for the future, waiting for what's to come, waiting until we're not busy, waiting until we have the right conditions, waiting until we have the time. But after all that waiting, how many people end up with regrets?
They couldn't afford it before, but now that Liu Tianhua and her husband have the means, after working hard for most of their lives, it's time for them to rest and enjoy themselves.
But Liu Tianhua smiled and said, "Let Jinbao and his wife take us later. Zhi and I don't know anything, and I'm afraid we'll get lost if we go out."
“We can stay close by and have some fun nearby. Come to think of it, we’ve been here for several years and haven’t gone out to play yet. Come on, let’s pack our things and go out for a couple of days of fun tomorrow,” Yu Zhigang said.
The couple are now grandparents. When Yu Jinbao's son was born last year, the restaurant hired a head chef. Liu Tianhua took care of her daughter-in-law during her postpartum period. The baby is almost five months old now, and she doesn't need to take care of him yet.
Yu Zhigang thought that once she was in charge of taking care of the child, she would have even less time to go out and have fun.
So the next day, the two of them went out to play.
Zhou Jiahong also wanted to travel. "Mom, can you give me a few days off too? I want to go out and have some fun."
Yu Qiuying rolled her eyes at him, "What's so fun about going out as a bachelor like you?"
Zhou Jiahong: "..."
In the past, he would have argued back with a few words.
I'm past that naive age now. "Fine, I'm still young anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to travel in the future."
On the evening of May 28th, around 10 PM, Xu Yingying gave birth to a baby boy at the hospital.
Yu Qiuying hired Cui Yinhua to take care of Xu Yingying during her postpartum period. Cui Yinhua had been working as a postpartum nanny with her sister for the past two years.
When the baby turned one month old, Yu Qiuying also set up four tables.
Now, the younger generation is getting married one after another, and the family is growing. Our own big family alone can't fit at two tables.
At the end of the year, Yu Qiuying, Zhou Jiahong, Yu Changfu, Wang Huimei, Yu Zhigang, Liu Tianhua, Yu Qingxiu, and Li Xingyue all returned to their hometown.
Zhou Jiadong and Zhou Cailian didn't go back. Firstly, their old house hadn't been lived in for too long, so it wasn't convenient to bring the child back. Secondly, with so many people going back, it wouldn't be comfortable for them to stay.
This time when she returned to her hometown for the Spring Festival, Yu Qiuying demolished her old house and planned to build a new apartment building.
I haven't been back to my hometown for the Spring Festival for six years. The village has changed a lot. Several families have built new houses, including Ma Yanhong's family.
As soon as Yu Qiuying and Zhou Jiadong returned, Ma Yanhong came to their house to invite them to dinner and even arranged rooms for them.
"Your house has been uninhabited for so many years, it's not a good place to live. Why don't you two stay at my place?"
Ma Yanhong was truly grateful to Yu Qiuying. If it weren't for Yu Qiuying taking her son and daughter out to earn money, her family would still be living in a mud house in poverty.
Yu Qiuying figured she wouldn't be staying for more than a few days anyway, so she didn't stand on ceremony with her and stayed at Ma Yanhong's house with Zhou Jiahong.
Yu Qiuying also spent the Spring Festival with Ma Yanhong's family. She gave Zhou Mingde's two-year-old son a red envelope containing 200 yuan.
