Seeing that her two sons had gone out to play, Lu Qingyan concentrated on packing up.
When Gu Mingze came back, Lu Qingyan had almost cleaned up the house.
"You go and take a rest, I'll do the rest." Gu Mingze went outside to wash, came into the house to dry, snatched the clothes from his wife's hand, told her to go and take a rest, and did the rest himself
"No need, let's do it together. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest." Lu Qingyan took the clothes and folded them up.
"Wife, I have said hello to the team leader. I will be able to go back with you guys when your summer vacation comes." Gu Mingze said to his wife while folding the clothes quickly and neatly.
"Really? That's good. Then buy the train tickets in the next two days. We'll go back as soon as my summer vacation starts. Otherwise, if we delay for a few days, we'll have less time to stay home." Lu Qingyan said with a smile when she heard the man's words.
"Okay, I'll go buy the train ticket tomorrow." Gu Mingze nodded and agreed, and then the two of them worked together to clean up the house.
I went out to clean up again, and by the time I finished everything it was almost dark.
Gu Mingze didn't let his mother-in-law cook. He ran to the canteen to get food. After returning, the family finished eating and washed up before going back to their rooms and falling asleep on the cold kang.
The next morning, Father Lu got up to heat the kang.
Although burning the kang in summer will make the room very hot, the room has been there for quite a long time. If I burn some fire to fumigate the room, it will be very damp.
Even the kang was cold, and the old couple could hardly bear it, so Father Lu got up early in the morning to heat the kang.
Lu Qingyan was very tired yesterday and got up a little late in the morning. As a result, she was woken up by the scald while she was half asleep.
When she got dressed and went out, she saw her father heating the kang, so she walked over and asked, "Dad, why are you heating the kang so early in the morning? I haven't even woken up yet, and I'm already getting burned."
"I light the kang in the morning so that the house can be fumigate. Otherwise, if I light the kang at night, it will be impossible to sleep." Father Lu replied to his daughter without even raising his head.
"Oh." Lu Qingyan nodded, seeming to understand, and turned to wash up.
After I finished washing up, I saw Gu Mingze coming back with food.
Then I heard him say, "Dad, take the money from home. The logistics department will take a car to the city. Go see if there is any iron pan for sale in the department store and buy one."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Upon hearing this, Father Lu stood up quickly and asked the old woman for money to go to the city to buy a pot.
"Then go ahead." Mother Lu went to the cabinet to get some money and handed it to the old man, saying, "See if there is anything delicious and buy some for the two grandsons."
"Got it." Father Lu put the money in his pocket, ate a casual meal, and went to the logistics department to take a bus to the city.
"Wife, ask your mother if she has enough money and bills. If not, give her some more." Gu Mingze knew that his wife would give money to his mother-in-law's family every month.
But he was afraid that his mother-in-law would not ask for much each time, so he asked his wife to add some every few days, to avoid the situation where the two old people wanted to buy something without money in their pockets.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Qingyan nodded and agreed when she heard the man's words.
She thought to herself that this man was a good man, not only good to her, but also to her parents.
Even when she gave her parents money every month, he didn't get angry.
She would urge herself to give her parents some money every few days, which made her feel satisfied and happy.
That's why she suggested that the man go back to his hometown to visit his parents-in-law.
Even if her parents-in-law are not good people, the man will still be thinking about them.
It would be better to let the man go back and have a look, which would make him feel better.
"Mom and Dad, now that we have moved, when can we go back to our hometown?" Gu Qiming yawned and asked his parents who were talking beside him.
"It will be here soon, in just a few days." After Lu Qingyan said this, she went into the house and called her mother out for dinner.
She was going to be late for work and had to eat quickly and go to school.
So they were busy for a few more days. Father and Mother Lu cleaned up every corner of the yard and planted pumpkins (also known as pumpkins) and melon seeds.
Then they cleared the rest of the yard that didn't block the walkway and brought in cabbage, green onions, beans, eggplants, persimmons and other green vegetables.
After finishing all the work, Lu Qingyan officially had her summer vacation.
In the evening, the whole family sat in the main room, eating and talking.
"Mom and Dad, I have bought the train tickets. We will pack our things tomorrow and take the train back to our hometown the day after tomorrow." After swallowing the food in his mouth, Gu Mingze looked up and said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Your father and I have packed everything that needs to be packed. You two just need to bring some more clothes for the two children." When Lu's mother heard that her son-in-law had already bought the train tickets, she said that the old couple had packed everything except their things.
"Our things are easy to pack. We just need to pack two more sets of clothes for the two children. Also, it's summer now and if clothes get dirty, they will dry quickly after washing, so we don't need to bring too much." Lu Qingyan didn't want to carry a lot of things back to her hometown, and then have to carry all the things back when she couldn't use them. That would be so troublesome!
"Yeah, if you bring so many clothes, you won't be able to wear them. So you should bring less. It will be more convenient to go back and forth." Mother Lu thought the girl was right, so she thought about going back and taking out two of the clothes she brought, so that she wouldn't have to carry heavy clothes when she couldn't wear them.
So after they finished their meal, they went back to their rooms to pack their things.
"Mom, is there any fun place in my hometown?" Gu Jingming looked at his parents packing up their things and sat in a corner of the kang, asking curiously.
"There are fun places. It's summer now. When we go back, I'll take you to the mountains and show you what good things there are." After Lu Qingyan said this, she smiled and said, "I used to catch pheasants in the mountains. Your grandma stewed the pheasants and they were delicious."
Lu Qingyan is now drooling when she thinks of the pheasant stewed with mushrooms that she ate when she first came here.
Although their family has everything to eat now, it does not hinder the feeling she had when she ate pheasant stewed with mushrooms.
"Mom, what is a pheasant? Is there any difference between it and an old hen?" When Gu Qiming heard his mother say the word pheasant, his eyes lit up, and then he asked curiously.
"Almost the same, but pheasants are not as delicious as the old hens we raise at home, but their tails are very beautiful. Ask your father to catch one for you when you go back." Seeing that her second son was curious again, Lu Qingyan hurriedly said, "Don't ask me what a pheasant looks like now, you will know when you go back."
"Oh." Gu Qiming had to swallow the words he was about to ask when he heard his mother's words, and said in disappointment.
