The two of them bought tickets to Shenzhen tonight. After getting the tickets, they remembered that they had not told their family yet.
When they arrived at the courtyard, a family was warming themselves by a fire in a room in the front yard. Niupitang saw them and ran over immediately.
Pippi pouted and said, "Dad, Mom, where have you been? Why didn't you take us with you?"
Niu Niu also said unhappily: "Mom and Dad must have gone out to play by themselves."
The couple looked at each other and only now realized that this was troublesome. How should they tell them?
Xu Ning coughed and said to Lu Xiaotang, "You go and tell Xiao An and Xiao Mo! I'll take Niupitang to tell Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Wang and the others."
Xiao Mo asked: "Sister, brother-in-law, what's the matter?"
Seeing his wife bringing the Niupi Tang into the house, Lu Xiaotang said to Xiao An and Xiao Mo who came out, "Your sister and I are going to be away for a few days. During this time, the Niupi Tang will be left to you!"
Xiao Mo asked in surprise: "How many days are you going to be away? Brother-in-law, what are you going to do? You are not taking me and Niupitang with you!"
"Xiao Mo, your sister and I have something to do this time, so it's not convenient for us to take you with us. I'll take you out to play next time if I have the chance."
Seeing that his brother-in-law's face looked a little serious, Xiao Mo nodded and agreed obediently.
Xu An asked, "Brother-in-law, when are you leaving?"
"Tonight's train."
"I understand, brother-in-law, you and my sister can rest assured, we will take good care of Niupitang at home."
Lu Xiaotang nodded. "The things my friend brought back from Yushu Village will be delivered to the courtyard later. You can discuss with Grandpa Qi and the others whether to live here or in the courtyard."
Xiao An said, "Brother-in-law, let Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Wang move directly to our place. When you and my sister come back, school will be about to start, so we will move over there too."
Lu Xiaotang thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. There are more neighbors over there, and it's more lively. When Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Wang go over there, they'll have a place to talk.
You and Dalin take the bus back first. I'll drive Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Wang over there, and then come back to pack their things later. ”
Xu Ning called out Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang, "Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, your things have been shipped over.
I'll ask Xiaotang to pull it over and put it in your room in a while. ”
Grandpa Wang thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ning, take out some of the gold and exchange it for some money. You and Xiao Tang should find a place to store the rest."
Xu Ning thought about it and agreed. Having several boxes in the room would be too conspicuous. So she decided to put them in her space first. When she came back from the south, she would find a way to build a dark room in Grandpa Wang's house.
After sending everyone over and settling them down, Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning came back to pack their luggage.
Xu Ning placed most of the luggage in the space and prepared to take a smaller bag outside to make it look like he was leaving.
She took a look at the gold bars in the space, some of which were given to her by Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang.
There were also the six large yellow croakers that Xu's father gave her in the afternoon.
"Do you want to exchange this gold for money?"
Lu Xiaotang shook his head and said, "No, gold is more popular than money in Guangdong Province."
He had been there on a mission the year before last. That place was close to the port city and had many illegal immigrants, so gold was the hard currency.
When Mr. and Mrs. Lu came home from get off work, they saw that only their son and daughter-in-law were at home. Niupitang and Grandpa Qi were not there.
Puzzled, he asked, "Why are there only two of you at home?"
Lu Xiaotang put their luggage in the living room and said, "Dad, Mom, Xiao Ning and I have something to do and need to go out for a while.
Since both of you have to go to work, I will send Niupitang, Grandpa Qi, and Grandpa Wang to your parents-in-law. ”
Mother Lu asked in surprise: "Where are you going? How long will you be gone? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, “Mom, nothing happened. Xiaoning and I have been married for several years, and I haven’t had the opportunity to take her out to play.
After the New Year, I became even busier and had less time, so I took her out for a walk during these few days when I had nothing to do. ”
Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Where are you two going?"
"To Guang Province."
Dad Lu glanced at Lu Xiaotang and said to Mom Lu, "Wanqing, go get some money for them."
Mother Lu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." Then she prepared to go upstairs to get the money.
Xu Ning hurriedly stopped her and said, "Dad, Mom, we have money. Didn't you give me 5,000 last time? I still have a lot on me, enough."
Mother Lu patted her hands and said with a smile, "You'd better bring more. For those who are poor but rich, it's more reassuring to carry more money with you when you go out."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lu's father and mother, Xu Ning winked at Lu Xiaotang and asked him to help persuade them.
Lu Xiaotang pondered for a moment and said, "Mom and Dad, let's take it first. Just think of it as a loan. We'll return it to you later."
He thought, since he had traveled so far, he might as well bring back more.
Mother Lu went upstairs, opened the cabinet where the money was kept, put the three thousand yuan prepared for Lu Xiaoran in the box, and brought all the rest.
She and Lao Lu received back pay for nine years of wages, totaling more than 20,000 yuan.
I gave Xiao Ning 5,000 yesterday, and the rest is for them to use as dowry when they get married.
If their parents need the money now, they can give it to them in advance. Anyway, she and Lao Lu get a salary every month, and they can save it slowly for their grandchildren in the future.
Xu Ning looked at the money that Lu's mother brought over and said, "Mom and Dad, I'll take it first and return it to you later."
Mother Lu waved her hand and said, "The family said they won't return it. This was originally reserved for the ox-stick candy. Just use it."
