Chapter 267 Sending Away
If there is anything slightly better, it would be Taiping Houkui. But this was not bought by Ye Qian herself. She found it in her grandparents' room when she was cleaning the house. The date was only a few days away, so Ye Qian put it directly into the space and kept it there.
Then, while she was cleaning up the snack packaging, she found this in the corner. Thinking she couldn't keep it anymore, she used it to make tea eggs. At that time, Ye Qian teased Gu Jinyan, "Am I so rude? It's really about to expire. How much is a bag of tea? What if I get sick from drinking it?"
"There's nothing wrong with eating boiled tea eggs." Gu Jinyan was speechless. "Don't they have a shell on the outside? They won't hurt us." Ye Qian wanted to reassure Gu Jinyan, but Ye Qian always had her own ideas. How could he be at ease? He could only stare at her closely from the side.
Later, even though he knew that the tea leaves were not expensive, he would not let her waste them. He would drink some occasionally and give some away as a gift.
Here, all the luggage has been packed and the two of them have washed up and rested.
The next day.
After Ye Qian packed up and went downstairs, she saw the three children surrounding Gu Jinyan, tearfully complaining. When they heard footsteps coming down the stairs, they all looked over at her. Ning Ning reacted the fastest, immediately getting up and running over to hug Ye Qian's legs, saying, "Mom, Dad is going on a business trip, but what is a business trip?"
Ye Qian's depressed mood, which had just been affected by the scene, was instantly sobered up by Ning Ning's words. It occurred to her that Gu Jinyan had rarely traveled for business after the birth of the children. After Ran Ran was born, he had taken two short business trips, which were only about 3 or 4 days. But after Ning Ning and Xi Xi were born, he had not traveled at all. It was normal for her not to understand. Ye Qian looked up and asked Gu Jinyan: "You."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinyan rubbed his temples: "I have explained it."
Ye Qian walked towards the father and his son and asked curiously, "How do you explain it?"
Ran Ran raised her hand and replied, "Let me tell you, let me tell you."
Gu Jinyan closed his mouth. Ye Qian said to Ranran, "Okay, Ranran, come and explain what Dad meant just now."
"A business trip means going to work somewhere else and then coming back after a while." The logic and structure of the explanation were very clear. Ye Qian nodded in praise: "That's right, Ranran is great." After saying that, she turned to look at Ningning: "Ningning, don't you understand?"
Ningning didn't say anything and turned her head away from Ye Qian. Ranran rushed to say, "I understand. I just don't want to be away from Dad for that long, so I pretended not to understand so that Dad wouldn't leave." Ye Qian looked at Ningning and asked, "Is that so?"
Ning Ning still didn't speak. Ye Qian looked at Xixi and asked, "Xixi, do you understand?"
Xixi nodded obediently and replied, "I understand." But she was obviously not in a good mood, and her eyes were red, as if she didn't want to believe it.
Ye Qian explained to the three children, "Dad is going to work, and we can't hold him back. Besides, Dad has to make money to support the family. If he doesn't support the family, how will we eat?"
The three children said, "We can eat less."
"No, Mom eats too much. Any less won't be enough. And do you really eat too little?" Ye Qian retorted. "Okay, Dad will be gone for three months. We'll go see him after the holiday, so he'll only be gone for a month."
Ningning asked, "How long is a month?"
"A month is 30 days, or four weeks. Just remember that your kindergarten has four holidays, which makes up a month. Then we'll go find Dad." Ye Qian consoled them. After a while, the children finally felt better. "Let's go together this afternoon to see Dad off for the train."
At noon, Ye Qian personally cooked a few meat dishes to make Gu Jinyan's meal better. When he was away from home, there wouldn't be much meat to eat. Then she explained a few things, "Do you have a house in BJ? If not, buy one, or two, close by." Ye Qian also told him to buy houses in these places. In the future, the storefronts would naturally be in these places. She also handed the passbook to Gu Jinyan, "You probably don't have much money, so here's some money. It should be enough to buy quite a few properties."
Gu Jinyan nodded. He also understood that Ye Qian was preparing for her future life. This feeling was really good.
Gu Jinyan put away the passbook and played with the children for the whole afternoon. During this time, Ye Qian was busy in the kitchen all afternoon, making a lot of pancakes to eat in the evening. Of course, it was okay to eat them cold. In the current weather, as long as they didn't go bad, it would be fine. She also made a cup of milk tea and put it in a thermos for him to take with him. Anyway, he was carrying a lot of bags, and it was obvious that he was going on a long journey. Although he was reluctant, he still took his luggage and set off.
There was also a light rain outside, which added a bit of sadness to the departure. After the group arrived at the train station, they stood for a while and then Gu Jinyan said to Ye Qian, "If it's inconvenient during the holidays, don't bring the children here. You will be tired with too many people."
"Your biological child." Ye Qian teased. Gu Jinyan said, "I know they are my biological children, that's why I said that. I'm afraid I'll tire you out." Ye Qian nodded in agreement, feeling warm in her heart. "But I'm worried the children won't be able to accept it when the time comes." Gu Jinyan replied as a matter of course, "They are just children. Just coax them and they'll be fine."
hehe.
Three children: Can you coax us into being fine just by coaxing us?
Gu Jinyan: One lollipop for each person.
Three children: Thank you, Dad.
The train whistle sounded again. After waving goodbye to everyone, Gu Jinyan officially began his business trip.
Gu Jinyan left, and Ye Qian felt bad. After sleeping with her three children all night, she immediately slapped herself in the face and asked, "Why should I feel bad? Can't I sleep well alone?"
The three children were very busy all night, either telling stories or singing. They peed several times in the middle of the night. Only Xixi was well-behaved and so quiet that it made people feel distressed. The other children were very happy and made a lot of noise to sleep with Ye Qian.
Ye Qian refused directly: "No, Mom is very busy and has to go to school, one night is enough.
Without exception, Ye Qian ignored the children's disappointed voices.
After breakfast, it was already late, so Ye Qian went straight out and went to the braised food shop early. She took out everything she needed, including a small stove and a small pot. There was a large kitchen in the back, so Ye Qian took out another large pot. Of course, there were also scales of this era and food wrapping paper that had been bought in advance, some enamel basins that had been bought before, food tongs, knives and chopping boards. These were almost all the things needed for braised food. Of course, she also did not forget the old braising liquid that had been used to cook many things before.
Ye Qian took out a large bucket and left a small bucket for herself. It was enough for the whole family to eat and prepare the braised food. Ye Qian also took out the things she and her friends needed for the snack stall and piled them in a small warehouse at the back.
