The two washed up, put on their clothes and went out. Lin Siya suggested going for some roast duck and strolling around, using a phone card and signing in.
The two of them found a very famous roast duck restaurant. Maybe because it was dinner time, there were a lot of people in the restaurant, and they had to wait for a while before they got a seat.
I ordered a set of roast duck, and the duck bones were made into soup. I also ordered two side dishes. The price of roast duck is a bit high, but it’s not too bad to eat it once in a while.
While waiting, Lin Siya began to sign in silently. When she heard the system's announcement, she was very satisfied. She had even gained an intermediate roast duck skill. Was this going to allow her to make roast duck herself? On a different note, it made sense. When she returned to City X, she could try it out. This way, she would have a chance to take out the roast duck she had signed in.
The roast duck was soon served on the table. The slices of duck meat were crystal clear and emitted an attractive glow.
Fu Sinian washed his hands, packed one for Lin Siya first, and then packed one for himself.
Lin Siya took it, took a bite, and suddenly her eyes lit up. It was delicious. It was better than any roast duck she had eaten at any other restaurant before. The duck meat was very firm and juicy, with a crispy skin, and paired with refreshing cucumber strips and green onion shreds. It was so satisfying to take a bite.
The duck meat is not fishy at all and has a hint of fruity wood aroma. It really tastes better the more you eat it.
After eating, Lin Siya felt that such delicious food should be shared with her family, so she ordered two more sets and came to pick them up in the afternoon.
After coming out of the roast duck restaurant, the two began to stroll around. To be honest, the economy is underdeveloped now, and there are basically no private shops on the streets. Those barber shops, tailor shops, and bakery shops are all state-owned.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also trust stores, friendship stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and department stores, and their scale is much larger than those he has been to before.
They had been to the department store before the Chinese New Year, and there was a wide variety of goods inside. This time they did not choose to go there, but went to the Trust Store and Friendship Store, mainly to buy some things.
In these two stores, Lin Siya used all the check-in times she had accumulated recently, and of course she gained a lot.
It’s a pity that she can only sign in once a day, but she is already very satisfied to have received so many good things.
After shopping for an afternoon, the two of them returned with a lot of things. After getting the roast duck, they went straight back to the old house.
When I got home, my mother-in-law hadn't gotten off work yet and Aunt Wang was cooking.
"Auntie Wang, Anian and I bought two roast ducks. We can heat them up and eat them later.
"That's great. The Commander loves roast duck the most."
Lin Siya helped Aunt Wang cook, and by the time the food was served, her parents-in-law had returned from get off work.
The family had a happy dinner. After the meal, the two did not go home but stayed in the old house directly.
They had discussed that they would be going back to work soon and would not have much time left at home, so they planned to spend more time with the elderly at home during these few days.
Unfortunately, good times are always short, and the day of parting soon comes.
Because Li Bo did not have honeymoon leave, he went home the day after attending their wedding.
The day before leaving, Fu Ma came to their room and gave Lin Siya a passbook.
"Mom, what's this?" Lin Siya didn't expect that her mother-in-law would send her money again.
You know, before this, she had already received a large sum of money in terms of betrothal gifts, red envelopes, etc. Is this the benefit of having only one son in the family?
"This money is for you two to settle down, so just take it with confidence."
"Mom, we've already given the betrothal gift, so we don't want this money."
"Well, the betrothal gift is the betrothal gift, and the settling-in fee is the settling-in fee. When your two sisters got married, our family also gave dowries. As for the settling-in fee, your two sisters didn't miss out, so this share is yours. I've been saving this money since Anian was born, and the same goes for your two sisters. I treat all three children equally, saving money for them since they were born. It's not much, just a little bit every year. Now that you've started your own families, this money is like the starting capital for your little family. You can spend it however you want."
Lin Siya didn't expect that her mother-in-law was such a far-sighted person. The passbook in her hand became more and more important. It was not only money, but also a mother's love for her child.
At the same time, she also made up her mind that she must learn from her mother-in-law and have a plan for her future children, trying her best to treat them equally.
After receiving the passbook from my mother-in-law, when it was time for dinner in the evening, my two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law came with several children, carrying large and small bags.
The things they brought were basically for the two of them to take to City X. There were a lot of fabrics, clothes, and food in them. They had no choice but to accept them out of the love of their two sisters.
Because Mr. and Mrs. Fu still had to go to work, it was the family driver who finally took them to the train.
The two of them had already sent everything they needed to send in advance, but there were still quite a few things they had to take with them in the car.
There were still a lot of people at the train station. The two of them struggled to squeeze onto the train and found their berths. There was not much time left before the train departed.
"I didn't expect that the train back home would be even more crowded than the last time we came here."
Lin Siya sighed, no matter what era it is, there are always a lot of people during the Spring Festival travel rush.
"Everyone is out right now, so there are a lot of people here. Also, I heard that most of the people on our bus are educated youth going to the countryside."
After hearing this, Lin Siya suddenly understood. No wonder she saw so many young men and women just now, some of whom had big red flowers on their chests. At that time, she didn't know who they were. It turned out that they were educated youth. There were really quite a lot of them, and they lined up in a long queue.
It was then that Lin Siya remembered that the activity of sending China's educated youth to the countryside seemed to have ended in 1979. This should not be the last batch. In the next two years, many young people will go to the countryside.
These young people will have to stay in the countryside for a long time. Some of them may return to their familiar hometowns by taking the college entrance examination, while others may stay there forever.
But I have to say that the journey back home was quite interesting with the addition of these educated youth. It was like eating melons all the way.
The plots she had seen in novels before, such as you love me, I love her, and she loves him, were so interesting. From this, she could imagine that these young people would have a very exciting life after arriving in the countryside.
