That evening, after entertaining the guests and seeing off Bai Lianshan and his family, only the Su family and Cai Qing, who were close friends, were left.
"Lao Su, Lao Qiao, Lao Cai, Lao Zhou, we will write to you when we get to Hai City. Please take good care of yourselves and don't lose heart. It will soon be your turn to be vindicated."
Old Feng kept comforting the two families. He was very happy, but he was also reluctant to leave everyone and this place.
"Old Feng, don't worry about us. You and Zilu should be careful on the way. Aruji just sewed some money and other things into Zilu's clothes for tomorrow's wear, and I've sewed the rest into your clothes too. They're all in inconspicuous places where thieves wouldn't think of them."
"I brought our big backpack. All your clothes and shoes are stuffed in it. Zilu can add another shoulder bag. You only need to carry your bedding, quilt and food on the way."
"Yes, this big backpack is so practical. It not only holds clothes and shoes, but also mountain products and millet. Luckily, most of the stuff was sent by mail, otherwise, you two wouldn't be able to carry it all."
Qiao Jiuru and Zhou Meihua had just taken the time to sew money and gold leaves into the clothes that Lao Feng and Zilu would wear tomorrow, for they were worried that their money would be stolen.
At this time, point out the places where the money and gold leaves are sewn to the grandfather and grandson, and ask them to remember the locations.
Old Feng nodded gratefully. The female comrades were very thoughtful. Even Wang had not thought that money could be sewn into such a place, let alone a thief.
"This is the buckle and longevity lock you gave to Zilu. Old Qiao, you can sew it in too."
The gold leaf was the meeting gift given by Su Ze. Old Feng remembered the meeting gift given by Su Huaiyuan and his wife, and quickly found it to give to Qiao Jiuru.
"I'll go back and find some red string to string these two things together, and then tomorrow I'll hang them around Zilu's neck and put them inside his clothes so no one can see them."
Qiao Jiuru took it but did not use it to get the needle. He planned to let the child hang it around his neck or hide it inside his clothes. It would be safer if he wore it close to his skin.
Lao Feng nodded. He found that the collars of his clothes were buttoned up to his neck. It was so cold that his clothes could not be exposed at all.
"I plan to apply for a transfer to Jing City after I return. If I can really transfer there, I will sell my house in Hai City and use the money to buy a house in Jing City."
Old Feng held Su Huaiyuan's hand tightly and brought up these words again. What he said to them before was not just a casual talk, he really had such intentions.
"Don't sell it, don't sell it. Don't sell the property in Hai City. It won't go bad if you leave it there. Hai City is in such a great location. It will be difficult to buy it back in the future. If you don't have enough money, we can find a way. If you are really transferred to Jing City, your company will definitely allocate you a house. Don't worry about not having a place to live. We can discuss it together when we get back."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was strongly opposed by Qiao Jiuru.
What? !
Selling a house in Haishi?!
Can’t sell it!!!
Houses in Hai City, whether now or in the future, will never be cheap. Especially the good houses, which are simply not available.
"Yes, Lao Feng, if it's your own house, I wouldn't advise you to sell it either. This house is our foundation, and it won't go bad if we keep it. Just listen to us. Don't sell it. If you do, sell it to me."
Su Huaiyuan had heard that house prices across the country would rise sharply in the future, making it impossible for ordinary people to buy a house. So, he quickly tried to persuade them.
Old Feng might not believe what others said, but he still believed in what Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru said. After all, in the past few years, it has been proven that their survival ability and foresight are much stronger than his own, and they are so powerful.
"I won't sell it. I won't sell it. When the time comes to sell the house, I'll find you two."
Lao Feng is very obedient when it comes to things that are good for him.
"Okay, everyone, go to bed early tonight. We'll take you to the commune tomorrow to catch the bus."
It was getting late, Su Huaiyuan patted Lao Feng on the shoulder and asked everyone to leave together.
The next morning, Bai Lianshan arrived driving an oxcart. The luggage and parcels of Old Feng and his grandson were loaded onto the cart, and then Dabao, Xiaobao, and Zilu all got on it.
Old Feng waved goodbye to everyone one by one, and then walked beside the ox cart with Su Huaiyuan, Qiao Jiuru, Cai Qing, and Zhou Meihua, looking back every step of the way as they walked towards the production team.
