"Sitting in this car, I suddenly feel a little homesick."
"The last time I went back to my parents' home was the year before last when my father celebrated his 60th birthday. I brought Xiaowu and Xiaoliu with me, and Lao Liu stayed at home to look after the four older kids."
"I remember when I was going back, I had one child tied to my back with a sling, another one held by my hand, and two large bags of luggage. I was so exhausted. I didn't dare to relax at all. I didn't dare to sleep even when I was tired, for fear that the child and the luggage would be lost."
"It's really not convenient for your family to travel. You have six children, and even if you and your wife go out together, you can't take care of them all. The train station is crowded, and if you lose them, you won't be able to find them at all."
"Not only can I not take care of them all, the travel expenses are quite a lot, and I have never been able to bring all the children back to see their parents."
"It's okay, big girl sister, work hard, one day you can go back when you want to, don't worry about the amount of money."
“I also hope that day will come sooner.”
"Big sister, I'll tell you the truth. The reason I'm willing to work with you is because you give me an inexplicable sense of security. On the day I went to ask you for a job, I always felt that what I talked about with you was different from what others said, but I haven't studied, so I can't describe it."
"Until a few days ago, I learned a new word from my eldest child. It is the most appropriate word to describe that feeling: hope."
As Wu Danniu spoke, she felt like crying.
Seeing this, Song Fuyu hurriedly pulled out some paper from his bag and gave it to her.
"Don't get excited. No matter how hard or difficult the days are, they will pass. Every day from now on will be better than yesterday."
"Sorry, I just suddenly feel a little homesick."
"Although we live in the countryside and are extremely poor, my parents did not mistreat me because I am a girl. Instead, they found a good marriage for me. They also wanted to let us brothers and sisters go to school, but unfortunately our family was too poor. It was difficult to even have food, let alone study."
"Not being able to send us all to school is their biggest regret. In order to prevent this regret from continuing, I must make sure all six of our children go to school, no matter how hard or tiring it is."
"Yes, you and Brother Liu work so hard, your children will definitely be able to go to school in the future."
"I'll lend you my good words."
Along the way, the three people sometimes expressed their feelings and sometimes laughed out loud, which made Huazi, who was driving in front, feel that women's minds were really complicated and their emotions came and went quickly while listening to their conversation.
When he wanted to say something to comfort them, they laughed again.
Oh...I can't figure it out...
"Sister-in-law, we've arrived in Qin City. I can only take you here. You may need to take the bus for the rest of the way."
"Okay, that's all. Thank you~"
"You're welcome. Our car will pass by here at about seven o'clock tomorrow evening. Remember to come at about the same time."
After saying goodbye to Huazi, Song Fuyu took them to the bus stop and got on the bus to the garment factory.
"To be honest, this is my first time taking a bus."
"I used to be afraid of spending money, so I would walk any distance of more than 10 or 20 miles by myself."
“I seldom sit.”
"It's okay when there are few people, but when there are many people, it's just asking for trouble."
"I remember one time I was with Tiantian, just the two of us, and we had to rely on the people behind us to push us into the car. In June and July, there were so many people and the smell was so strong. I never want to experience that feeling again in my life."
"When there are still so many people?"
Wu Danniu had never sat on it before and seldom went to the city, so she couldn't imagine what it would be like if it was crowded.
"Of course, there is no limit on the number of people on the bus. As long as you can squeeze in, you can ride."
“That was really hard.”
The three of them took the bus for nearly fifty minutes before reaching the bus stop closest to the garment factory.
"I suddenly felt that these two cents were well spent. It would take about three hours to walk such a long distance. In three hours, I can make two simple clothes and earn a few cents."
"Yes, so sometimes you should save and spend when you should. There is no need to lose a bigger profit just to save a penny or two."
"You make sense."
"Don't even mention making clothes. If you convert it suddenly, even if you paste matchboxes like before, you can only make more than two cents in three hours."
With this understanding, Liu Aihua and Wu Danniu suddenly felt less sorry for the two cents they spent on the train tickets, even though the tickets were bought by Song Fuyu and he said the studio would reimburse them.
"It takes half an hour to walk to the state-owned restaurant here. Why don't we go to the garment factory first? Maybe they have food in their cafeteria."
She looked at her watch. It was almost two o'clock.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Song Fuyu brought them to the gate of the garment factory. When the security guard, Uncle Zhang, saw her coming, he greeted her warmly.
"Director Song, welcome. Director Fang greeted me early in the morning and said you would come over today."
"Uncle Zhang, long time no see."
Song Fuyu smiled and took out an apple from her bag and handed it to him.
"These are the two team leaders of our factory. I brought them here for the meeting this time."
"Look at you, you're so polite. You always bring me things every time you come over. Please don't spend money next time."
"It's just an apple. It doesn't cost much. You work hard here every day."
"It's not hard, I'm happy."
"You guys should go in quickly. Director Zhao came to ask about it at noon."
After entering the door, she went straight to Uncle Zhao's office and put the things she brought in his office first.
"Uncle Zhao, we are here."
"You've had a lot of trouble on the road, haven't you?"
"Fortunately, we took the military transport vehicle and got off in the east, then took bus No. 6 and arrived in no time."
"Hey, I thought you could just sit at the factory. Don't go through so much trouble next time. Call ahead and I'll ask Dadong to pick you up at the place where you get off."
"Uncle Zhao, is there any food in the cafeteria? I'm so hungry~"
"Yes, put your things in my office and I'll take you to the cafeteria."
"Your Aunt Fang was worried that you hadn't eaten during the journey, so she asked the canteen to save some food for you today."
"That's great. I was originally planning to go to the state-owned restaurant, but I thought it would take too long, so I didn't go."
On the way to the cafeteria, everyone she met greeted her enthusiastically.
When we entered the cafeteria, even the chef came out personally carrying a large plate full of chicken.
"Director Song, would you like rice or noodles as your main meal?"
"The rice is ready. If you want noodles, I'll make some for you right now. It'll be quick."
"Master Huang, don't bother, we can just eat rice."
