Chang Le said to Bai Xiaoyue:
"Mom, why don't you and Uncle Yan come with me to Beijing? I bought a small courtyard house."
We now have a house in Beijing. With you and Uncle Yan here, we've settled down in Beijing.
Bai Xiaoyue was very surprised: "Changle, you bought a house? How much money do you have to buy a house?"
Chang Le said smugly:
“Mom, in the past year or so, I’ve been leading everyone to make and sell clothes. My 7,000 yuan has now become 25,000 yuan.”
Bai Xiaoyue asked, "Really? My Chang Le is amazing? You used all your money to buy a house?"
Chang Le smiled and said, "Mom, I only spent 12,000 yuan to buy the yard, and I still have 13,000 yuan left."
I'm planning to take advantage of this holiday to go to the south, where many people bring back goods to sell.
Making clothes myself is too slow. If I could source the goods from the south and sell them, I would make money much faster.
It's my first time going, and I'm a little uneasy. I'd like you and Uncle Yan to accompany me.
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "No problem, your Uncle Yan and I are going to Beijing anyway."
That evening, Bai Xiaoyue told Yan Ci about Chang Le's plans.
Yan Ci said, "Wife, I can accompany her to the south, but I have no intention of staying in the capital for a long time."
Seeing Yan Ci staring intently at her, Bai Xiaoyue quickly said, "Aci, where do you want to go? I'll go with you."
Yan Ci said, "I'll accompany you to the capital to sign the contract first, then I'll accompany Chang Le to the south. We'll talk about the rest later."
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Aci."
Yan Ci pecked his wife on the forehead in a good mood: "I exchanged 10,000 yuan last time. Is that enough for Chang Le to go south?"
Bai Xiaoyue said with heartache, "The price of gold has risen a bit now, but it's still not worth it to exchange it now."
She already has over ten thousand yuan, and with this ten thousand, it should be enough! Prices are cheap now, so she can buy a lot of goods.
Yan Ci: "Then let's change it at the end of the year. Let's accompany her to the south first."
Li Mingyue knew Bai Xiaoyue was going to Beijing and was very reluctant to part with her. She hugged her friend and cried out:
"Xiaoyue, the children are all gone, and you and Yanci are gone too. I'm all alone here!"
Bai Xiaoyue was both amused and exasperated.
“Mingyue, I’m just going out for a look. I didn’t say I wouldn’t come back. I’ll bring you a gift when I return.”
Li Mingyue was unhappy: "I want to go too. Working in the warehouse is not good at all. There is no one to talk to."
Bai Xiaoyue teased her friend, "Then let's go, come with us, we can go see Ping'er and An'an."
Li Mingyue turned her back on her: "Hurry up and go! Remember to bring me a gift."
The day before they set off, Yan Xiaosong arrived with Xiao Liuyue, carrying a heavy bundle.
He told Yan Ci that he hadn't seen his wife for a long time and what he would do if she didn't want him anymore.
He's going to Beijing to find his wife, and he's taking his daughter with him. He also said he's already asked for leave from the village.
Bai Xiaoyue immediately took Xiao Liuyue to play in the yard, while Yan Ci looked at Yan Xiaosong's tearful appearance with great disgust.
"Go if you want to, who's stopping you!"
"Brother, I'm just worried I won't have anything to eat if I go to Beijing, so I want to stick with you!"
Yan Ci remained silent.
When Chang Le learned that Yan Xiaosong was going, he asked him to take Aunt Yan with him.
Yan Xiaosong asked, "Changle, is it feasible?"
Chang Le nodded: "Uncle, Grandma Yan is skillful and can help me with chores. I'll pay her a salary."
Yan Xiaosong immediately said, "Changle, I'll work for you too. As long as I have food to eat, that's enough for me."
Finally, Aunt Yan also went to Beijing with everyone.
She was reluctant to part with her granddaughter and was wiping away tears at home. But when Yan Xiaosong said they could go together, she immediately wiped away her tears and packed her luggage.
Upon arriving in the capital, Chang Le took them to the rented courtyard, which was Cui Yu's courtyard.
When the Cui family returned, Cui Yu asked his grandfather for the courtyard, and Chang Le continued to rent it.
Cui Yunchen and Cui Jinxiu lived in another courtyard with Old Master Cui.
When Luo Xiaowei saw her husband, mother-in-law, and daughter arrive, she hugged her daughter and exclaimed with delight, "Mom, you're here!"
Yan Xiaosong said, feeling wronged, "Xiaowei, didn't you see me?!"
Luo Xiaowei quickly said, "Xiaosong, I saw it. I'm so glad you could come."
An'an pulled Bai Xiaoyue and said, "Auntie, welcome. Sister Ruyi and Xiaobai have gone out."
Bai Xiaoyue patted An'an on the shoulder: "An'an, why are you helping out too?"
An'an smiled shyly: "I work for Sister Chang Le to earn my living expenses."
Ruyi and Changxing came in from outside and saw Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci. Ruyi hurriedly ran over to hug Bai Xiaoyue.
"Auntie, I've missed you so much!"
Before Bai Xiaoyue could react to Ruyi's large belly, she saw her rushing towards her and quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Ruyi, why didn't you tell the family you were pregnant?"
“Auntie, I specifically told Chang Le not to say anything, just so you wouldn’t worry. Nobody at home knows.”
Bai Xiaoyue frowned: "How can you do anything like this?"
Ruyi said with a smile, "Auntie, I can do it. It's only been four months. What can't I do?"
Bai Xiaoyue: "Should we call Changxing's mother?"
Ruyi quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I'm fine as I am now, as long as I have Changxing."
Ye Changxing nodded: "Auntie, I can take good care of Ruyi."
Bai Xiaoyue remembered that Yan Ci had taken care of her during her pregnancy, and that her mother-in-law's presence really affected her mood, so she didn't try to persuade her anymore.
She looked around and saw that Chang Le had acquired five sewing machines, and the small workshop was already taking shape.
When Xiaobai returned, Chang Le took Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci to see the courtyard she had bought.
It turned out to be a small courtyard house with one entrance, about the same size as the one currently rented in Changle, and close to both the school and the rented courtyard.
Chang Le said helplessly that the house was repaired by someone hired by Cui Yu, and he refused to accept any money offered to him.
Bai Xiaoyue really liked this house; it was a courtyard house, something she never dared to dream of before.
Yan Ci saw the light in his wife's eyes: "Wife, you like it that much?"
Bai Xiaoyue whispered, "Aci, I've only ever seen it on TV before. Seeing the real thing now feels a bit unreal."
Chang Le placed Bai Xiaoyue's belongings in the main room:
"Mom, you and Uncle Yan can stay in this room. Just put the sheets on."
Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci had just finished tidying up the room when Cui Yu arrived, followed by Old Master Cui.
The couple exchanged a glance.
Cui Yu said to the two of them:
"Uncle, Aunt, my grandfather would like to invite you to a meal."
Bai Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Grandpa, there's no need to be so polite!"
Grandpa Cui: "Little Yue, Yan Ci, give this old man some face and come to my house for a meal."
There's nothing else to it; it's mainly to thank you for taking care of Yu'er over the years.
Bai Xiaoyue didn't know how to refuse, so she tugged at Yan Ci.
Yan Ci said to Old Master Cui, "I'd better accept your offer, then I'll take my leave of you!"
The family of four tidied themselves up and went to the Cui family home with Grandpa Cui.
Besides Cui Yunchen and Cui Jinxiu, the Cui family also includes a young couple.
Grandpa Cui introduced: "My granddaughter Cui Rong and grandson-in-law Lu Zhiyuan."
Bai Xiaoyue understood immediately; Cui Yu's older sister was that cousin.
