As soon as Song Mei's family left, the atmosphere at home became better.
Aunt Gu and her husband returned to the Xu family. Qiu Lanying said, "Let's go. I'll take you to grandma's house."
So Qiu Lanying and her husband took a group of people to the Qiu family in Shanghe Village.
However, the people in Shanghe Village were always keeping an eye on the Qiu family. As soon as they saw the Gu family enter the house, they gathered around them, all of them looking for the two top scholars to discuss academic matters.
Bai Ruozhen and Gu Xiaoli couldn't escape, so they repeated what they had said on the 30th. These people still refused to leave. Finally, Grandma Qiu got angry and roared, driving them out.
Bai Ruozhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh my God, I'm so tired."
Grandma Qiu smiled and took her hand and said, "I felt this child was blessed from the beginning. Look, she is indeed lucky. Not only is she lucky, but her children are lucky too. This child will bring good fortune to her husband."
Lucky husband?
Bai Ruozhen wanted to laugh.
Gu Changqing nodded shamelessly, "Yes, not only does she bring good luck to her husband, but also to her sister-in-law."
Sister-in-law Gu Xiaoli also nodded seriously, "That makes sense."
Bai Ruozhen was amused by them. Qiu Lanying said, "Our Gu family is lucky."
We had a lively lunch at Qiu's house, played for a while in the afternoon and then went home.
They had fun for the next few days, and it was not until the tenth day that Qiu Lanying urged them to buy tickets to Beijing.
Bai Ruozhen was still in shock, "There are still about ten days left." She thought she would have to stay at home for the fifteenth day before going to the capital.
Qiu Lanying knew that she was reluctant to leave her child, so she sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it, but it would be best if you could go there early. Before school starts, ask your grandmother's relatives to help find a house. Once you buy the house, you can have your second uncle and aunt take the child there. It's also because we, your parents-in-law, are incompetent and can't help you much."
"Mom, don't say that." Bai Ruozhen said sincerely, "Having a mother-in-law like you is a blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes."
Living in the countryside, you know what every family is like. Some powerful mothers-in-law would not let their daughters go to college, and would even want them to take care of their excrement and urine. No one is like the Gu family, who wants to separate from the family and live a small life as soon as their daughter-in-law gets married.
Qiu Lanying was actually quite content. Her three sons were all married now, but her two daughters were still struggling. She whispered to Bai Ruozhen, "I've met Li Xiuming too, and I think he's quite good. He's also your cousin. You and Xiaoli have a good relationship, so try to persuade him. You're not young anymore, so you should settle down and get married after graduation."
"Well, don't worry." Bai Ruozhen responded with a smile, but she knew that Gu Xiaoli would never leave Li Xiuming, and Li Xiuming would not give up Gu Xiaoli easily.
Gu Changqing went to Yancheng to buy train tickets, and on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the three of them took the train to the provincial capital to transfer.
Qiu Lanying prepared brand new bedding rolls for them and some local specialties for them to take to the Li family. As for daily necessities, Gu Changqing said they didn't need to bring them, they only needed to bring clothes and bedding.
Since Gu Changqing had an idea, Qiu Lanying didn't care. On the morning of November 11, she asked Gu Zhiguo to take them to the train.
Bai Ruozhen felt very reluctant to part with Doubao and Jiaozi, who still didn't know what parting meant.
"Let's go." Gu Changqing patted her shoulder and comforted her, "We will be able to pick them up soon."
Bai Ruozhen bit her lip and nodded, hugged Doubao and Jiaozi and kissed them again, "Be good and obedient at home."
Doubao and Jiaozi waved to them and said, "Goodbye, Mom and Dad." Mom and Dad finally left, and they could play as much as they wanted.
Of course, it was only after a few days that the two children, who hadn’t seen their parents, finally realized how important their parents were. But that’s a story for another time.
After reluctantly saying goodbye to the family, the three of them went to Yancheng and took the train that night to the provincial capital.
The next morning they arrived in the provincial capital and bought train tickets to Beijing. The train departed in the afternoon. They didn't plan to stay at the station for the whole morning, so they went to the Bai family.
Li Qiulan was very happy to see them coming. "I thought you wouldn't come for a few days."
Then he added, "I'll go cook for you. We'll eat in the afternoon and then take the bus."
The three of them put down their things and Bai Ruozhen went to help with the cooking. Li Qiulan whispered, "Your grandpa called and told you to let me know beforehand when you go. That way, I'll call you when you leave in the afternoon and have your cousin pick you up. Your grandpa's house has a big yard, so you can stay there first."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen did not refuse. After all, they had never been to the capital, so it would be better to have acquaintances.
After staying at the Bai family for a whole morning, the three of them returned to the train station in the afternoon and boarded the train to Beijing.
Bai Ruozhen looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window, and his mind echoed with the life of the past few years. He felt that everything was so incredible.
Gu Xiaoli, who was standing opposite her, looked at her and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "Thinking about the past."
The two looked at each other and smiled. The old days seemed so far away.
Gu Changqing looked at the two people smiling in tacit understanding, and felt extremely angry. He was so angry. He finally got into college, but ended up having a burden with him. It was so annoying.
