"Wife, how about this?" Yan Junting looked at Yun Duoduo and slowly said, "If you want to do business, you can do it in the capital. It doesn't have to be in the countryside, right?"
Go to Kyoto to do business? Yun Duoduo hesitated.
Seeing that Yun Duoduo remained silent, Yan Junting immediately added, "If you need help, bring Honglan along too. We, husband and wife, definitely can't be separated."
The key point is that he definitely couldn't leave his wife at home; he couldn't bear to.
After waiting for over a decade to finally marry her, what's the point of keeping her at home?
Although his wife seems carefree and perfectly fine even when she's not around, he can't accept it.
This idea...
The clouds blinked; it was still pretty good.
If you really want to do business, it's definitely better to do it in Kyoto than in this small place. Kyoto has a large population and high spending power, and more importantly, the policies there have definitely been opened up a long time ago.
If we could really bring Honglan over, it would be nice to have someone to keep her company.
The important thing is that, judging from the man's appearance, he wouldn't want to leave her alone at home, so what else is there to consider?
Yun Duoduo said, "Okay, I'll go out and discuss it with Honglan. If she agrees, we'll take her with us."
As long as his wife agreed, Yan Junting felt that the matter was settled. He smiled and said, "Honglan will definitely agree. She has always listened to me."
Yun Duoduo smiled and glared at him, then the two of them took their things and went out together.
Just as the two entered the courtyard, Ding Meixiang and Yan Gusheng returned.
Seeing this, Yan Honglan, who was working on a sewing machine in the yard, immediately glanced at the wall clock. It was only a little past 12 o'clock. Her family usually didn't have lunch until around 2 p.m.
She asked curiously, "Father, Mother, why are you back? It's not lunchtime yet."
Ding Meixiang shook her head. "The weather is bad today, it's drizzling a bit, so your father and I came back early."
Yan Honglan nodded. "I'm busy right now. I'll cook later."
Ding Meixiang glanced at Yan Honglan, who was busy at work, and muttered, "Working for the Zhao family again?"
“No, it’s our own.” This time, Yan Honglan answered more firmly, “I’ve already turned down the work from the Zhao family, and I won’t help them anymore.”
Ding Meixiang was unaware of what had happened that morning and, somewhat disbelieving, snorted.
However, she found it strange that the items on Yan Honglan's sewing machine were not the same as those brought by the Zhao family.
"You've got a job?" Ding Meixiang asked as she walked over to Yan Honglan and looked through the things Yan Honglan had made.
Just as she was about to ask what it was, Yan Junting walked over and said to Ding Meixiang, "Perfect timing, Father and Mother, I need to discuss something with you."
Yan Gusheng and Ding Meixiang nodded, sat down in the courtyard, and gestured for him to speak.
Yan Junting said, "The army sent a letter telling me to leave in three days. My wife and I plan to go back to the army in three days."
It was only a matter of time before Yan Junting returned to the army. His family knew this, and he had previously said that he wouldn't be back for long.
However, everyone assumed he was leaving alone. When they heard he was taking Yun Duoduo with him, Yan Gusheng asked, "Duoduo is going too, can you accommodate her?"
Yan Junting nodded, "Yes, I've already applied for a dormitory with the military. This time, I'll move directly to the new dormitory, and there will be enough room."
Upon hearing this, Yan Gusheng nodded, "That's fine too. Only when you two are together can you have a good life. Remember to say hello to your parents-in-law."
After saying that, Yan Gusheng and Ding Meixiang exchanged a glance, and then Yan Gusheng added, "Also, your mother and I have discussed it. Now that you have a family, you shouldn't give your family living expenses anymore..."
Last night, Yan Gusheng persuaded Ding Meixiang that Yan Junting only needed to send ten yuan home every month, since he had a wife and would have children in the future, which would bring considerable expenses.
But before he could finish speaking, Yan Junting waved his hand with a smile and said, "Dad, Mom, Duoduo said that the living expenses will still be the same as before. It's not easy for you two old people at home. Save more money in case you need it in case of an emergency."
Upon hearing this, Yan Gusheng immediately waved his hand, "How can that be? You should take care of your own families first. No matter what, your families always have food to eat and won't go hungry."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, we're fine over there. But you two at home, please make sure to prepare good meals and take good care of your health. As for the money, that's settled. We'll send it back on the first of every month."
Yan Gusheng tried to push him away, but Yan Junting wouldn't let him say anything more.
Upon hearing this, Ding Meixiang replied, "That's fine then. I'll be more frugal in the future and save any extras. If you need anything, just let us know and we'll send it to you."
Of course, this was just a casual remark, but the fact that Ding Meixiang said it made Yun Duoduo and Yan Junting feel quite comfortable.
Shouldn't a family live like this?
"That's it," Ding Meixiang added, "By the way, Duoduo, let's go to your parents' house after lunch. Let's go early so Duoduo's mother and I can have a chat. I was worried about what happened last time..."
Ding Meixiang was too embarrassed to finish what she was saying, and she was also too embarrassed to admit her mistake.
Yun Duoduo knew what she meant, so she smiled and shook her head, "Mom, it's okay. Yesterday was just a misunderstanding. My parents didn't take it to heart."
Ding Meixiang smiled and nodded, looking at Yun Duoduo with satisfaction in her heart.
This daughter-in-law is truly better than she imagined.
As soon as she married into the family, she treated her brother-in-law and sister-in-law like her own younger brother and sister, spending money on them without hesitation and getting along well with them. She was also very filial to the two elderly people.
If she doesn't cherish a daughter-in-law like this, then she's truly ungrateful.
Actually, Ding Meixiang isn't a bad person. She's just easy to talk to. As long as you go along with her, she's easier to talk to than anyone else.
After saying that, Yan Junting remembered something else and looked at Yan Honglan, saying, "Also, regarding Honglan, we're planning to take her to Kyoto to help your sister-in-law with her business. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Honglan and Ding Meixiang were both startled, as this matter had never been mentioned before.
Ding Meixiang frowned. "Send Honglan to Kyoto?"
“What can she do in Kyoto? Won’t she just cause you trouble?” Yan Gusheng immediately shook his head.
Yan Junting said with a smile, "Honglan and Duoduo plan to start a business together, selling the scarves that Honglan has. But I definitely can't leave my wife at home, so I thought we'd go to Kyoto together to do business."
"Go do business, are you afraid?" Yan Gusheng didn't dare to speak loudly, even though they were cracking down hard last year.
Yan Junting smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kyoto has already opened up. The country is now strongly supporting everyone to start their own businesses and develop the economy."
Hearing this, Yan Gusheng and the others felt a little relieved, but they were still worried that Yan Honglan's visit would cause trouble for Yan Junting.
But Ding Meixiang glanced at the yard and hesitated, "Then, then, all the chores around the house..."
