Chapter 374: Departure for Beijing (Additional Update)
Fu Jingyou came to explain his purpose.
Wang Xiaohu was a little confused at first, but later he heard that both he and his wife had been admitted to university and were about to go to Beijing. Wang Xiaohu was shocked.
"Brother Fu, you're so awesome! There are also many educated youth in our team who took the college entrance examination, but none of them passed!"
Fu Jingyou laughed. That was all. He hadn't even mentioned that his wife was the provincial top scholar.
After handing over the package for the home visit, Fu Jingyou slowly instructed:
"Pay more attention to detail in the future. Once you take over a position, you must shoulder the responsibility and be able to shoulder the brunt of the burden..."
"If I have time to come back in the future, I might give you a surprise inspection."
Fu Jingyou patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder, and said something jokingly at the end of his words.
Wang Xiaohu smiled innocently and scratched his head, "Don't worry, Brother Fu. Although I learned my skills in Tianjin, you taught me half of them. I definitely won't embarrass you!"
Fu Jingyou nodded slightly and was about to leave while pushing his bicycle.
Wang Xiaohu pulled him, "Are you leaving now? Eat at home!"
Fu Jingyou smiled and shook his head:
"I'll eat it later when I have a chance. My wife and children are waiting for me at home, and I'm afraid they'll worry."
Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to let him go and walked him all the way to the village entrance, saying thank you all the way.
Fu Jingyou rode out for a long time before Wang Xiaohu turned around and went home.
His wife Yang Cuilan came out of the house and asked curiously:
"Is this Team Leader Fu's wife's surname Lu?"
"Yes, what's the matter? Why are you asking about this?"
"Yesterday, when I went back to pay New Year's greetings, I heard my sisters-in-law were chatting. They said that someone from the village next door had passed the imperial examination and won several hundred yuan in prizes from the county..."
Yang Cuilan shook her head and recalled:
"I think her surname is Lu, and her husband works in the county. I think she might be the wife of Team Leader Fu."
A reward of a dozen yuan is fine, but a reward of a few hundred yuan...
Wang Xiaohu was a little skeptical.
But speaking of the college entrance exam, Wang Xiaohu had met Lu Miao several times and knew a little about Lu Miao's situation.
The educated youth from Beijing had some family background and high education level, so it was reasonable for them to be admitted to a good university.
"How can we take all the gossip seriously? Even if it's true, so what if she's Brother Fu's wife? That's what she deserves."
Wang Xiaohu will never forget who gave him steamed buns and stuffed eggs in his stomach when he was starving a few years ago when he went out to learn a craft.
Both husband and wife are kind-hearted people, and good people should be rewarded.
Some people are lucky, it's just what they deserve.
Fu Jingyou rode his bike home. He Hongjin was home with Dabao and Erbao, while Lu Miao was helping Chen Guifen. They killed a few more chickens from the last chickens sold. "Auntie said we should kill them now and pickle them so we can take them back on the road. I didn't kill them all, but saved two. I told them to take them back to raise or kill and eat."
Lu Miao originally said he didn't want it.
Taking two kids on a train is hard enough, and with a bunch of luggage, it’s really impossible.
He Hongjin insisted that they would help put the luggage on the car, and that someone would pick it up in Beijing, so the luggage would not have to be moved once it was in the car. He also insisted that Chen Guifen be killed and given the luggage to her.
Lu Miao couldn't argue with He Hongjin's loud voice, so he had to compromise.
Fu Jingyou nodded. "Salted chicken is just like bacon. It can be stored for a long time. I'll bring it back to Beijing for the elders to taste."
"Um."
Lu Miao didn't pack much luggage, just one suitcase.
For other luggage such as clothes, she asked He Hongjin for thick sacks, packed them in several layers and placed them aside.
Train tickets for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the town post office opens on the fourth day.
Just go to the post office and send it before you leave.
Spend a little money and save effort to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The Fu family should pick up the things that need to be picked up.
If something needs to be covered, then cover it up.
Chen Guifen and He Hongjin came to help, and people from the team often came to take a look.
On the surface, they were watching the fun and chatting, but in their hearts they were all sighing that the Fu family is really different from what it used to be.
No one doesn't like others praising their children.
Outsiders spoke nicely, and He Hongjin was busy cleaning the pigeon cages and pig pens, with his grin never faltering.
He could still grin with his big teeth at this moment, because he had not yet realized what the upcoming "separation" meant.
When Chuba and He Erge took Minmin and Minjie to deliver the car, He Hongjin could no longer laugh.
Minmin is usually very sensible. On this day, when she learned that her aunt and uncle were going to take her younger siblings away and she didn't know when they would come back, Minmin cried so hard.
On the train platform, Lu Miao was holding Erbao and was about to get on the train. Minmin held Lu Miao tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Auntie, little auntie."
Erbao looked around curiously, not knowing what was going on.
Seeing Minmin crying, Erbao bent down to reach for Minmin's hand and said, "Sister is crying."
Young children are the easiest to touch people's hearts, and Lu Miao felt a little uncomfortable.
He Erge carried the luggage and piled it on the train seats. Lu Miao took Minmin aside and coaxed her and gave her instructions.
On the side, He Hongjin was holding Dabao in his arms, holding Minjie's hand, and talking to Fu Jingyou:
"You've made it big now. Go out and study hard, work hard. If you don't have enough money, tell your family and I'll ask your aunt for it."
"That stubborn girl has a bad temper, but she's a good girl. Please take good care of her when she goes out... Listen to what your father-in-law and mother-in-law say, regardless of whether it's right or wrong."
"They are city dwellers, so their ideas may not be the same as ours, but what they say is definitely for you."
"I understand, uncle."
"Um."
He Hongjin nodded and rubbed his lightly stubbled chin against Dabao's face affectionately.
Leaning over to hand Dabao to Fu Jingyou, he remembered to ask:
"When does the school break end? Can you come back and visit me when you have time?"
"Miaomiao said that the long holidays are only in winter and summer, so I'll come back when I have free time in the middle or end of the year."
Mid-year and end of year...
That means I can only come back once every six months...
He Hongjin's eyes flashed, and he nodded dryly and said "Oh" twice.
The station bell rang and the staff in white uniforms blew their whistles:
"The train will leave in three minutes. Passengers on the platform should pay attention to the time and board the train in advance. Don't miss the train!"
He Erge had already gotten out of the car. He took Minmin, who had been coaxed to stop crying, from Lu Miao's side and walked towards He Hongjin and said:
"Alright, Dad, don't delay Xiaoliu and his sister-in-law from leaving."
He Hongjin nodded, waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Fu Jingyou nodded. Lu Miao walked in front to get into the car, and he followed closely behind, holding Dabao.
Dabao clung to his father's shoulder in a daze, with his little hands stretched back as if trying to grab something.
“Grandpa, Grandpa…”
"Why!"
He Hongjin responded and took two steps toward the train door.
