Around 4 p.m., Yu Qiuying and her group got off the train.
After exiting the train station, Yu Qiuying hailed two taxis.
It was almost six o'clock when we arrived at our accommodation.
Yu Qiuying and her entourage entered the courtyard in a grand procession. Not long after, Fu Daying and Cui Yinhua, who had heard the commotion, came over.
"Qiuying, you're back! There are so many people here!"
Fu Daying and Cui Yinhua were both a little surprised to see the courtyard full of people.
Yu Qiuying smiled and said, "Yes, this is my brother's family of six, plus my nephew and niece."
“You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Why don’t you come to my house for a meal?” Cui Yinhua said.
"No, no, it's too much trouble with so many people. We'll just cook some noodles ourselves." Yu Qiuying couldn't possibly eat at Cui Yinhua's house; there were twelve of them, and they felt embarrassed to go to someone else's house for a meal.
Seeing that they still needed to tidy up, Cui Yinhua and Fu Daying didn't bother them any further.
Yu Qiuying opened the door, put down her luggage, and then opened the window to ventilate the room.
Then I went to the kitchen to boil water and cook the noodles.
Zhou Cailian, Zhou Jiadong, and Zhou Jiahong tidied up the house, which really just involved wiping off the dust.
Yu Zhigang and the others were a bit reserved. Yu Qiuying asked them to sit for a while, but after sitting on the train all day, they couldn't sit still.
Liu Tianhua went into the kitchen to help, so Yu Qiuying gave her a head of garlic to peel.
Others also helped wipe the dust and tidy up, because no one felt comfortable doing nothing.
Yu Qiuying cooked three pots of noodles, but she didn't have enough bowls and chopsticks, so she had to borrow some from next door.
There weren't enough stools in the main room, so the younger children had to stand to eat.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up the kitchen together.
After washing the dishes, Yu Qiuying returned them to the neighbor next door. She also borrowed four stools and two bed boards to set up two beds, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room for so many people to sleep.
After making the bed, Yu Qiuying made arrangements.
They put five men—Yu Zhigang, Yu Jinbao, Zhou Jiadong, Zhou Jiahong, and Zhou Mingde—in one room, with an extra bed added inside.
An extra bed was added to Yu Qiuying's room, and she shared a room with Zhou Cailian, Zhou Xiaofen, Yu Qinghe, and Yu Qingmiao.
Liu Tianhua and Yu Qingxiu shared a room.
The extra bed in Yu Qiuying's room was pushed together with her original bed, making it just the right size for five people to sleep.
After a day on the train, the excitement wore off, and after washing up and getting into bed, I soon felt sleepy.
The next day, after breakfast, Yu Qiuying went to get temporary residence permits for Yu Zhigang and the others.
Then Zhou Jiadong took Zhou Mingde and Yu Jinbao to the shoe factory. The factory was hiring, so Zhou Mingde and Yu Jinbao got jobs there. With Zhou Jiadong there, Yu Qiuying wasn't worried about anything.
Zhou Cailian and Zhou Jiahong tidied up the breakfast shop and opened it on the 12th.
Yu Qiuying quickly arranged for Yu Qingmiao to transfer to Xinjie Middle School, which was not far from the breakfast shop.
Just as Yu Qiuying had guessed, there was no need to ask the Qin family for help at all, and Yu Qingmiao's transfer to another school went surprisingly smoothly.
However, since Yu Qingmiao is not a local resident, she needs to pay an extra tuition fee.
With Yu Qingmiao's schooling arranged, Yu Zhigang and Liu Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the mind to think about finding a job.
During dinner that evening, Liu Tianhua asked Yu Qiuying, "Second Sister, are you taking us to look for factories tomorrow? What kind of factories do you think Zhigang and I would be suitable for? We're both so old, do you think they'd want us?"
Yu Qingxiu, Yu Qinghe, and Zhou Xiaofen also looked at Yu Qiuying.
Yu Qiuying swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking, "Zhigang, Tianhua, I'm planning to open another restaurant. You two don't need to work in the factory anymore. Once my restaurant is open, you can work there."
