After hesitating for a day, Su Huazhu finally made a decision.
go!
Why aren't you going?!
Find out about the Ling family's situation as soon as possible. If it's a good fit, continue the talks; if not, cut your losses.
The family background of both partners is also the most important decision for them to make before getting married. She doesn't want to enter a family that is not friendly to her and then live a stifled life, having to compete with her partner from time to time.
The visit to the Ling family was scheduled for the tenth day of the month, right after seeing off Cai Qingwen's family.
The Cai family bought train tickets for the afternoon departure, so they could still catch the train from the middle of the month. Also, some of their clothes had already been sent to Haishi on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, as suggested by Qiao. They only needed clothes for the next couple of days, and there wasn't much else to pack.
Early the next morning, Qiao Qiru, Su Huaiyuan, Zhou Wanwan, Su Ze, and Su Feng were already busy in the kitchen.
Breakfast was a bowl of fragrant mutton noodles for each person. Around 11 o'clock, Su Ze and Su Feng brought out two pots.
Chicken stew with mushrooms, mutton stew with radish.
Rice, steamed buns, tofu, vegetables, and other side dishes for the hot pot are also prepared on the side.
"Old Cai, the mountain delicacies the brigade leader gave me, I won't bring you the cart, I'll just send them to your house."
After discussing it with his wife, Su Huaiyuan decided to ease the burden on their family of three. After all, the Cai couple were getting old, and Cai Min was a young woman; driving wasn't very safe either, so they decided not to worry about material possessions.
"Hehe, most of the luggage has been sent back, and now there are only clothes left. Xiaomin's backpack can't even hold them all."
Cai Qingwen was truly impressed with his friend's arrangements. He had never seen anyone travel so far with so little luggage, but it was quite relaxing, and he thought it was a good idea.
“I was worried that you were still looking after your luggage in the car. It’s not safe to travel by car. People are much more important than things, especially for a young lady like Xiaomin, who needs to be extra careful.”
He had invited his friends to Beijing for the Chinese New Year, so he would definitely do his best to ensure their safety.
"Didn't you get sleeper tickets through Lao Lu?! We'll just sleep one night and we'll be in Haishi."
Cai Qingwen was touched by his friend's arrangement and asked Lu Baoguo to buy them hard sleeper tickets so that they could rest better and be safer.
“I boiled some eggs for you, and made some soft sugar cakes, cookies, and snacks for you to eat in Luchek. I also packed two boxes of mutton and chicken, so you can heat them up and eat them when you get home, without having to go grocery shopping.”
At this moment, Qiao Jinru put the things she had packed for the Cai family to take to the car into the living room, and specifically told them what was inside.
In this kind of weather, food gets cold very quickly, so it's best to buy hot food at the train station for dinner. If you're still hungry, you can have some eggs, sweet cakes, biscuits, and snacks.
In addition, Qiao also provided some White Rabbit milk candies and a small bag of chocolates.
Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua were so moved they didn't know what to say, but unfortunately, their time together was too short, and they had to part ways.
"I know, you two are just worrying too much."
Everyone had a lively meal beforehand, and afterwards, Cai Qingwen's family, Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Ru, and Su Feng got into the jeep driven by Ling Xiaohe.
Upon arriving at the train station, he personally escorted the Cai family to the train station, helped them put their belongings away, and watched the train depart before leaving himself.
The courtyard was noticeably less lively after the Cai family had just left.
Old Feng and Feng Zilu continued to live with the Su family on Gulou Street, agreeing to stay until after the Lantern Festival.
Feng Zilu, Su Xingchen, and Su Xinghai, these three friends, were either going out to play together, reading at home, or having barbecues. The three little ones lived an incredibly carefree and comfortable life.
Su Feng would ask Jin Zhu out shopping or to the movies, and the couple's relationship grew stronger every day. However, the day after the Lantern Festival, they had to set off for Guangzhou with Professor Jin and his wife.
Qiao Qiru, Su Huaiyuan, and Lao Feng were grilling bread inside the house, discussing how to continue inquiring about the house and shop.
After Lao Feng was transferred to Beijing, he also bought a small courtyard house on the advice of Qiao Qianru and Su Huaiyuan. However, he didn't have as much money as Qiao Qianru and Su Huaiyuan, so he immediately told them when there was news of a house for sale.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Ling Xiaohe drove along Gulou Street early in the morning to pick up Su Huazhu, as Huazhu was going to his house to meet her future in-laws.
However, in the end, the two didn't set off until after 11 pm.
