Chapter 1372 Letting Go
"You won't be traveling far in the second half of the year, right?" The captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao after taking a puff of his pipe.
"Probably not."
"Some people in the Youth League have a problem with you asking for a long vacation, so if you can avoid taking a long vacation, don't do it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the people in the Youth League will make a fuss about your leave, which will be bad for you."
"I understand, Captain. I will not ask for leave in the next six months if I can. I will not give them a chance to make trouble for me."
"Just keep it in mind."
"Xiaoxiao, this is five dollars and eighty cents, please count it." Aunt Caihua said after handing the money to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao reached out to take the money Aunt Caihua handed to her, and then she counted the money in front of Aunt Caihua. When she confirmed that the money was correct, she said to Aunt Caihua, "The amount of money is correct."
"That's good."
"Aunt Caihua, Captain, I have something else to do so I will go back first."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain nodded and said, "Go back. Remember to cut two baskets of pig grass tomorrow morning to show your face."
"I see. Thank you for the reminder, Captain."
After Lu Xiaoxiao left, Aunt Caihua saw an oil-paper bag on the table, so she asked the captain, "Did Xiaoxiao bring this?"
"Well, open it and take a look."
After hearing what the captain said, Aunt Caihua opened the oil paper package. When she saw ten cakes she had never seen before in the oil paper package, she knew that this was the specialty that Lu Xiaoxiao brought from Yunnan Province to their family.
"Xiaoxiao is a thoughtful child. Although her relationship with our family is not as good as before, she still has a good relationship with our family on the surface." Aunt Cauliflower said after handing a piece of pancake to the captain.
"Um."
"Actually, I think it's pretty good for our family to get along with Xiaoxiao this way."
"It's getting late. Share the cakes with the children and then go back to bed. You still have to work tomorrow."
The reason why the captain did not directly answer Aunt Caihua's words was because all the family members were in the main room. Although they were all family members, they now had their own families, and some things could not be said in front of them.
Because after they got married, although they were of one mind with their family on major issues, they would inevitably have their own concerns on other small matters, so there were some things he didn't want to say in front of them.
After hearing what the captain said, Aunt Caihua divided the cakes among the children. When everyone in the family had left the main room, she sat on the kang and asked the captain, "Old man, why didn't you answer me just now?"
"Some things are not good to say in front of them. Be careful with your words in the future. The eldest, second and third children have already started their own families, so we can no longer treat them like we did when they were little."
Aunt Cauliflower immediately became depressed after hearing the captain's words. In fact, she had already understood what the captain said, but she just didn't want to accept it.
"I understand. I will be more careful with my words next time."
"Old lady, the children in our family have all grown up. From now on, we just need to take charge of the direction of major events and we should not interfere in other matters.
We are not young anymore and we can’t help them for a few more years, so we have to make them become eagles flying in the sky instead of sparrows while we are still able to move. Otherwise, when we are gone, they will not be able to live a good life. "
