After the start of the school year, Qiao Jiuru received help from Boss Chen to find several magazines, all of which were brought over from Hong Kong.
In addition, Mr. Chen called her to say that the batch of winter clothes and sunglasses she ordered had been shipped.
The delivery time was specifically chosen to be Sunday, so that it would be convenient for them to pick up the goods at the station during their holiday.
Soon, on Saturday, after having lunch, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan rode their bicycles to the Song family's house.
Besides Grandpa Song and Grandma Song, the only other people at home in the Song family are Luo and Yu, who come home from school. After starting high school, they eat at school and only come home after school.
Now, the old man and his wife go out early every morning to buy groceries and make breakfast. After everyone has eaten and gone to school, the couple takes about thirty tin frogs, plastic dolls, tangrams, and other toys to set up a stall nearby. Around noon, they quickly pack up and come back to cook lunch for the children after school.
"Huaiyuan, Guru, have you eaten yet?!"
When Grandpa Song saw Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru arrive at his house, he asked with a smile.
Having just finished eating, the two students, Luo and Yu, were delighted to see the two familiar elders and quickly went to pour water for Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan.
"Uncle Su, Aunt Qiao, have some water."
The two boys are now fourth-grade students. Since their older siblings returned to the city from the countryside, their family's life has gotten better day by day. After they stopped hiding the fact that their family's meals were good, the two of them have become increasingly chubby.
After pouring water for Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan, she went to the next room to rest.
“Uncle, I wanted to tell you today that if Yun comes back from his holiday tomorrow, please have him go to the train station to pick up the goods together.”
Qiao Jiuru explained to the old man that one of the main tasks of the Song family had been coming for several days, and one person wasn't enough manpower. Also, Song Luoyun had mentioned during her last visit that she would continue to order goods, and he would continue to come and pick them up to sell.
“Okay, okay, Gyeongyun and Gyesu said that they go home every week when they have a holiday, and they will definitely go to the train station to help tomorrow.”
Grandpa Song quickly said that he was very grateful to his niece and her husband for taking care of his family.
"Uncle, you must supervise Yun and Shu's studies well. Don't let making money cause you to put the cart before the horse. After all, the family is not in financial difficulty now, and the future is much more important than making money at this time."
Su Huaiyuan then interjected with a word of advice, worried that his two children might not be focused on their studies. Although there would be no problem with job assignments later, there would still be a difference in job placements between those who excelled academically and those who performed only moderately.
"Don't worry, every time they come back, I'll ask them about their grades. And I've already told them that the family isn't short of money, so they can focus on their studies. Yun and Shu will understand what's most important on their own."
With two children from prestigious universities in the family, they are the envy of everyone in the area. From being hated by everyone before, they are now admired by everyone. Old Master Song feels this most deeply, so of course he will supervise his two children's studies.
Fortunately, neither Yun nor Shu are the kind of people who are greedy for money, and neither of them would neglect their studies for money. This is also thanks to the help the Su family has given them over the years, for which the old man is especially grateful.
"Okay then."
"Another thing, we've exchanged the gold bars for you. We've deposited the money into a savings account. If you have time now, we'll go and transfer it to you together."
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan nodded in relief, and then said that they would come to see the other matter in person.
Not long ago, the grandfather and grandson brought gold bars to ask them for help in exchanging them for money. Several days later, they happened to come over together to deliver the money.
Each of the ten gold bars weighed 312.5 grams. Qiao Jiuru gave the gold price of 35 yuan per gram, and a total of 109,400 yuan was given to Old Master Song.
When Grandpa Song took the passbook and saw the long string of numbers on it, his hands trembled slightly.
That much money is enough for their family to buy several houses and shops. Recently, they inquired about a house that can be used as both a residence and a shop, and they are planning to go and ask about it in the next few days.
The old man's current goal is to buy a house for each child, and if there's still money left, he'll buy shops, one shop for each child, all of which will be left as his family fortune.
“Huaiyuan, Guru, are you free these next few days? Could you come with me to look at a house? I'm worried that buying too many houses will attract attention.”
Grandpa Song planned to ask the couple for help. They didn't live here, and their social and work circles were different, so no one would pay attention to the Su family.
"Grandpa, how about Monday? We can go look at houses on Monday afternoon, and I have two classes on Tuesday afternoon, so I can go to the housing management office with you."
Qiao Jiuru readily agreed. After the start of the semester, she told the school about her idea and plan to retire next year. The school was more lenient and arranged fewer classes for her.
After finishing their conversation, Grandpa Song had no intention of discussing with Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru about transferring the money from their savings account to their own account. The couple said goodbye and went home first.
In the evening, Song Luoyun and her brother Song Luoshu returned one after another. Upon hearing that they were going to the train station to pick up goods the next day, Song Luoyun was very excited.
Originally, Song Luoyun planned to set up a stall tomorrow, but since there will be new goods soon, he definitely won't go tomorrow.
Although he and his grandfather decided not to set up a stall, he will still set up a stall with his grandfather. He is now a capable helper at home, and he will definitely be able to take on about half of the housework during his holidays.
Sure enough, the next day, right after lunch, everyone headed to the train station.
When the brother and sister were at the train station, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan, Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan, and Mai Nian were also there.
The group waited on the platform for about two hours before the train from Guangzhou finally slowly pulled into the station.
