After leaving Wang's house, he visited several familiar households in the village, chatted with the children of the Gu family for a while, told them about their parents' situation in Beijing, and then returned to the yard to prepare dinner.
"Sister-in-law, I never thought that I would eat the food you cooked again under such circumstances."
"It's better not to happen at this time."
"It must not happen again. If it happens again, I will be scared to death."
He was washing dishes in the kitchen. When he heard Song Fuyu's voice asking him to call a doctor, he knew something must have happened.
When he came out of the kitchen and saw Youyou's face was pale and she was vomiting, his legs felt weak. But when he thought that she urgently needed a doctor, he tried to control his weakness and ran over to carry Doctor Zhao, who was still eating at home, back home.
"You really want to work for me?"
"Really, this is definitely not a joke."
"It's not easy working for me."
"If it's easy, do you still need me to do it for you?"
"Haha, no problem."
"When you have time, try to learn more foreign languages in private, until you can communicate fluently with foreigners."
"I know that Youyou and I have been studying privately, but we have never had the opportunity to test to what extent we have learned."
"I will take you to Hai City in January, and then you will know your level."
Not to mention now, even in the future, there are still many people whose foreign language level remains at the stage of knowing it on paper. Without the context for communication, people will forget it if they don't use it for a long time.
"You're taking us there?"
“Is this true?!”
Jin Kai was a little flattered. The news came too suddenly. Her casual tone made him a little unbelievable.
"What's true or false about this? It's just a matter of words. Next summer, I plan to take my grandparents to Guangzhou."
“Tsk tsk~~”
"If my grandfather knew your plan, he would definitely call and scold me for being an unfilial descendant."
He also wanted to take the old man around the country, but he didn't have the ability to do so at the moment.
Alas...the road ahead is still long and there is still a lot of work to do.
Song Fuyu prepared a simple dinner, a bowl of chicken noodle soup for each person, an egg, and a few vegetables, which was delicious.
Tong Youyou, whose stomach no longer hurt and could walk, ate the millet porridge that Jin Kai cooked for her, and occasionally looked at their noodles and swallowed her saliva.
Jin Kai couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he brought her a small bowl and a piece of noodles with chopsticks to satisfy her craving.
"Grandpa and grandma, how long do you plan to stay in Lu City?"
"It's not decided yet. When we go back to Beijing, there's nothing else to do except chatting with your grandparents. We can run back and forth here."
"Youyou and I are free now, so we'll go to Lu City to accompany you for a few days. It's a good opportunity to visit Uncle Li and Aunt Wu."
"Don't come. There's nowhere to stay."
"......"
"Uncle Li's family doesn't have a place to live?"
"Last time, Aunt Wu said that once we went there, accommodation wouldn't be a problem."
"You guys live here, where does your Uncle Wu live?"
"Come on, I can just pay for the hotel myself."
"You can come, but remember to bring food with you. It's not easy for Xiaoyu to make money."
Jin Kai almost spit out the tea he had drunk.
Of all the people he knew in his entire life, no one was as good at making money as his sister-in-law.
It is simply a fantasy to buy a car with an ordinary worker's monthly salary.
She could buy things without frowning, which proved that she had enough money to buy dozens of cars. It was funny to talk about how hard it is to make money in front of such a god.
"Okay, let's save this for the next time we meet. Let's hurry back to Qin City while there's still light in the sky."
"Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, come and visit us next time you come to Qin City."
"Okay, don't send me off. You all should take good care of yourselves and check your food carefully before eating. Don't let this happen again."
"Yes, we will, don't worry, Grandma Yan."
On the way back, Uncle Wu wanted to take turns driving with Song Fuyu, but she refused.
She is more familiar with this road, so the safety factor is relatively higher when driving on it.
At 8:15 in the evening, they finally came back.
"Xingmin, come and pick up Xiaoyue, she's fallen asleep."
Xiaohai was not much better than Xiaoyue and had started to feel drowsy a long time ago.
"Oh, why am I so sleepy?"
When Zhao Da heard the car, he hurried down to pick them up.
"They didn't sleep at noon. They had a blast in the village. They couldn't hold on any longer. They're all sticky. Let them take a bath and then go to sleep."
"Xiao Hai, go up and take a bath yourself. I'll take Xiao Yue to your grandma."
She didn't wake up while Fang Mei was helping Xiaoyue take a bath.
"This little guy was so sleepy that he didn't even notice someone took him away while he was sleeping."
After helping her take a bath, dressing her and putting her on the bed, Fang Mei was also sweating all over.
"Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, you should go wash up too."
"Don't worry about us. You go first. The temperature difference is big at night. Your clothes got wet just now. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Fang Mei didn't bother to be polite anymore. She went back to her room, got her clothes, and went to the bathroom.
"Xiao Yu, when do you expect the new products prepared by your studio to be shipped over?"
“Can I say that we haven’t started yet?”
After returning from Guangzhou, she felt a little lazy and wanted to take a good rest for a while. She had drawn a lot of design sketches, but had not yet done the final inspection and perfection.
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. The people in our studio are all veterans now. They are very fast. We will be able to produce a batch of samples by the end of October at the latest."
"As long as you have a plan in mind, that's all."
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. I will go to work after I get home tomorrow and ensure that I complete the task successfully."
"You haven't gone to work since you came back?"
"Not yet."
“That’s great.”
Only she could do this. If it were anyone else, they would have been called in for a talk long ago, and ordinary employees would have been fired countless times.
“You have no idea how much I have to do every day.”
"During this period, I dried fruits and vegetables every day, and roasted some meat to store for winter. I had to take care of all kinds of things."
"The army cafeteria tastes good, so I might as well go there to eat every day."
"The food in the cafeteria is not as good as the food I make at home."
Although it was convenient to eat in the cafeteria, she would be stared at by many people every time she went there. She didn't eat much at each meal to begin with, and under the attack of so many gazes, she ate even less. She just wanted to escape quickly.
After lunch the next day, they set out to return to Lu City.
"Wow, aunt, I want to go too~"
"Can you take me with you?"
Xiaoyue hugged Song Fuyu's waist and cried loudly.
"As long as your parents agree, your aunt will take you away."
"Woo woo, they will definitely not agree."
"When you have your winter vacation, your aunt will come to pick you and your brother up to play, okay? Then I will not only take you to Lu City, but also take you back to Jing City."
"When will winter break start?"
"Mid-January."
"But I don't know what month it is, woo woo."
She cried so much that snot bubbles came out of her nose. Song Fuyu felt a little pitiful and a little funny.
"It's almost October, and in three months it will be January."
"Three right?"
She counted on her fingers and looked up and asked Song Fuyu.
"right!"
"One, two, three, it will be quick."
"Yes, it will be over soon."
What Song Fuyu didn't know was that Xiaoyue started counting on her fingers every day after she left. When she counted to three, she would go to the factory and ask her grandfather to call her aunt to come and pick her up.
After Zhao Da patiently explained to her that it was not the number of roots that needed to be counted on one's fingers, but the number that she couldn't count at the moment, she burst into tears again.
