Yang Yufen also wanted to take her two children back, but she was afraid that the children would not be able to adapt to the new environment, which would delay their return for a long time.
Shen Xianjun also specifically explained to Yang Yufen the reason for not taking the child back. Because of Qin Nian's special identity, if they took the child, it would not only take longer, but if an accident happened, the whole family would really be stuck together.
"Sweetie, Grandma will be back in a week at most. You can stay at Grandma's house for now."
"Grandma, I can't bear to part with you."
Li Wu and Li Wen each held onto one of Yang Yufen's arms, knowing they couldn't go with her, and were filled with reluctance.
Yang Yufen's heart softened upon hearing this, and she almost wanted to take the child away. But then she thought that for the child's safety, she should continue to coax him.
"Grandma will only be away for a few days. You all need to help Grandma take care of the chickens in the coop. You need to collect the eggs after they lay, and you also need to water the vegetables. Otherwise, when Grandma comes back, the vegetables will all be dried up and we won't have any vegetables to eat."
"Grandma, don't worry, we'll definitely take good care of the chickens! We'll be waiting for you to come back!"
Li Wu immediately made a guarantee.
"I can mix chicken feed."
Li Wen spoke.
"Don't worry, Grandma Yang, I will take good care of my younger brothers!"
Hu Zhenghao also straightened his back and raised his head to express his opinion.
"Okay, okay, Grandma knew you were the best."
As Yang Yufen praised the child, her feelings of parting gradually faded.
Liao Yuanjie and Shen Xianjun took turns driving. Except for eating, using the restroom, and refueling, the car never stopped and drove all the way to the commune. It took them a day and a night, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Yang Yufen had prepared ginger slices and sour plums in advance, just in case she got carsick. In many places, the roads were not in good condition, and the bumpy ride made people's bones ache.
Shen Xianjun and Liao Yuanjie tried their best to drive smoothly, but the road was too bad and there was really no way to make it work.
"Mom, I'm going to buy you breakfast."
Shen Xianjun saw that there was a breakfast stall, so he spoke up.
"Let's all get off the bus and eat together. It's uncomfortable to sit in this bus for so long. What do you think, Niannian?"
Yang Yufen looked at Qin Nian.
“Okay, I also feel uncomfortable sitting in the car for too long. Getting out and walking around will make me feel better.”
Qin Nian got off the car with Yang Yufen, and the group sat down at a small table, where they ate millet porridge and steamed buns.
Yang Yufen took out a few eggs and put them on the table.
"I cooked these yesterday, and there are still a few left. I ate them all, otherwise they would have spoiled in this hot weather."
Shen Xianjun and Liao Yuanjie each had two eggs in front of them, while Yang Yufen and Qin Nian each had one, and they finished eating the eggs just right.
"The supply and marketing cooperative is open. I'm going to buy some things."
Yang Yufen said something and then told people to wait for her. Yang Yufen left quickly and returned quickly as well.
"I'll pass by your grandpa's graves first, and I'll burn some paper money there."
Yang Yufen returned with some items for the worship ceremony.
Shen Xianjun didn't say anything upon hearing this and obediently did as instructed.
The road was repaired, so it wasn't difficult to drive on. The car soon stopped on the side of the road.
Even though she hadn't been back for several years, Yang Yufen still remembered the way perfectly.
"You can rest in the car."
Shen Xianjun said something to Liao Yuanjie, then quickly grabbed his entrenching tool and followed.
"Mom, you point the way, I'll lead the way."
Yang Yufen didn't say anything, but pointed out the way.
"Be careful, Niannian. Take a stick and tap it to keep watch, lest there be snakes in the grass."
Yang Yufen handed Qin Nian a stick.
"Thank you, Mom."
Qin Nian tapped the grass by the roadside with a stick. She didn't go very far, but the road was not easy to walk on.
