Shen Jize did not object to Lin Wei going to work.
Before he could even go back to work, he received a call from his hometown. The village chief invited them back to discuss the relocation of the graves.
Not only her father's grave needs to be moved, but her grandparents' graves also need to be moved. This is not just a matter for her; Lin Xiaomeng also needs to go back to her hometown.
The next day.
Zeng drove back to his hometown in Xincheng with Aunt Mei and the two of them, aunt and niece.
Xincheng used to be a small county town, but it has since developed into a small city that is slightly better developed than rural areas.
Lin Wei is from Xincheng, and her hometown is also in Xincheng. The graves of this generation are not far from the county town.
When the village chief saw them arrive, he explained to them, "We received a notice from above that our county town and the area around the cemetery are to be developed, and all the graves must be moved. The higher-ups will cover the costs, and they will select a piece of land to enclose all the graves in this area."
"The people above said they would give us some subsidies, but it certainly wouldn't be much. Now we need each household to sign an agreement."
Lin Xiaomeng asked, "Uncle Village Chief, what's everyone's opinion?"
"What objection could there be? Everyone is moving together, not just one or two people. The subsidies are all the same, and there's no way to reverse this. Basically, everyone has already signed."
Indeed, everyone had the same opinion, and the village chief didn't hide anything and showed them the plan signed by everyone.
“This matter was settled before the New Year. I just mentioned it to other people during the New Year and got their signatures done. But you weren’t here, and I didn’t want to bring it up during the New Year, so I waited until after the Lantern Festival to inform you.”
"Since we're all in the same boat, let's move then, but—"
Lin Wei said, "We want to move my dad's and grandparents' graves directly to Jiangcheng on an auspicious day. My mom and my uncle's family... Grandpa Village Chief, will anyone be in charge of this?"
With Lin Wei's matter causing such a stir, how could the village chief not know?
Hearing Lin Wei's words, he sighed inwardly, but didn't say anything more.
"No one signed for them. I contacted your aunt's family, and they did sign and take the money for three people, but when I called them afterward, no one answered. Fortunately, all we need here is a signature, and we don't need them afterward."
“Okay, I’ll do the same for you. I don’t need my mother’s share of the money. Just please take care of burying my mother next to my uncle’s family. We will move my grandparents and father’s graves sooner or later.”
Lin Wei and Lin Xiaomeng signed the papers readily and were about to leave when the village chief chased after them and asked, "Girl, this matter has become such a big deal. We all know you've suffered a lot of injustice, but your father doesn't know. Is your father willing to separate from your mother? If not, it will be difficult to change things if more trouble arises later."
Lin Wei shook her head. "My dad knows everything. Yuanyuan and I have suffered so much, my dad must feel sorry for us. So even if I do this, my dad won't blame me. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Village Chief."
"Okay, since you've said so, then we'll do as you say."
-
Shen Jize was an expert at finding someone to calculate auspicious dates, and before a week had passed, Lin's grandparents and father were moved to Jiangcheng.
They were willing to spend money, and the new burial plots they found were excellent.
“We have dedicated staff to manage the area, and we clean it every day. There’s no grass growing here. There are people guarding the entrance 24 hours a day, and we will notify the family immediately in case of any accidents.”
"Thank you, thank you."
-
After everything was resolved, it was now March.
The spring breeze always carries a touch of languor.
Lin Wei can finally go to work officially.
However, if she was willing to let go of her child before, it was simply because she hadn't gotten used to the identity of a mother.
Although she holds the child every day, she is so familiar with the child that she doesn't feel any reluctance to part with him.
But things are different now. She thinks about her child constantly, from the moment she opens her eyes until the moment she closes them. She's long since become dependent on the child, and suddenly being separated from her is...
Although she was reluctant to part with it, she was even happier.
Sitting in Shen Jize's car, seeing her humming a little tune, Shen Jize frowned deeply. "No, you're this happy just because I asked you to go to work?"
"It's not that I'm happy about going to work. I originally thought I would be happy because of going to work, but I found out that's not the case. I'm happy because I don't have to take care of the kids. Oh my god, I finally don't have to take care of the kids every day."
Shen Jize stared at her speechlessly, "Do you know what you're saying? Our Xixi is so cute."
“I know Xixi is cute, but do you know how tiring it is to take care of a child who can’t talk? You haven’t stayed up all night like me, and you don’t have to have the child all you see when you open your eyes or close them. You don’t have to listen to the child’s babbling, so of course you don’t find it annoying. You’ve never taken care of a child like me, so you’re not allowed to criticize me. If you’re so capable, try taking care of a child for three days.”
Shen Jize opened his mouth, but couldn't help but say, "When have you been staying up all night? It's Aunt Mei who stays up all night, and it's Aunt Mei who makes the milk and changes the diapers. You just play with the baby when she wakes up and play with her before she goes to sleep. Is that tiring?"
"Of course I'm tired. Try carrying something weighing dozens of kilograms on your body every day. Although Xixi is really cute, it won't work. I'll really get annoyed after a while."
Shen Jize didn't believe in superstition. Although he hadn't spent as much time taking care of the child as Lin Wei, how could his own daughter be troublesome?
With little work on his hands, he tried to put everything aside and think only of his daughter.
In just three days, he understood Lin Wei's feelings.
Even if the child is very cute, distance can really make the heart grow fonder.
God knows he gave himself a whole week back then.
Even though he didn't say anything, Lin Wei could easily see through it.
Seeing Shen Jize obediently go to work, she teased, "What's wrong? Not sneaking home to take care of the child anymore? Isn't our daughter the cutest daughter in the world? Do you agree with me?"
“I agree, but… Weiwei, give me some face. Xixi is fine, but she really needs some peace and quiet sometimes. I still can’t figure out how Aunt Mei takes care of Xixi every day. How can a little kid have so much energy and be so noisy? The key is that you can’t even blink, otherwise she’ll definitely cause trouble.”
What else can we do but persevere?
“Besides, the child isn’t old enough to walk yet. Once she starts walking, she’ll definitely be even harder to take care of. After all, by then, she won’t be confined to one area anymore.” Lin Wei sighed, “I really have to thank Aunt Mei. Without her, I can’t even imagine what my life would be like.”
And she could also see that Aunt Mei was truly raising Shen Xi as her own grandson.
"Where did you find her? She's really great. Didn't you say she had no one else in her family? We'll take care of her in her old age."
"Yes, that was the original plan."
