Bi Yue's car had just been turned off and parked at the doorstep.
After a few seconds, the sound of her mother running out could be heard, followed by her uncle, aunt, two younger brothers, and finally her father.
Today is New Year's Day and the hotel is closed, otherwise her father would not be at home at this time.
Bi Yue also knew that her father must be waiting for her, just to see her. Otherwise, just wait and see, he would have to go to the tobacco and liquor store later. The closer it got to the New Year, the busier his father's business would be.
Liu Yafang opened the trunk automatically, and her aunt helped Bi Yue get out of the car.
One bag, two bags, three bags, and a big plastic bag.
"Oh my god, why are you bringing back all this old stuff? Our freezer can't hold it anymore, and I'm afraid it'll attract rats if I put it in the warehouse."
Everyone took the bags and went into the yard one after another.
As soon as Bi Yue stepped over the threshold, her mother started nagging, "How's it going over there? Is it good for you? Have you been asked to work?"
"What can I do like this? To me, huh."
"What do you mean, kid? Has your grandfather gone home? Didn't you say Yifeng is leaving?"
Bi Yue waved her hands, meaning that she didn't need her aunt's help. She noticed that her father was standing aside and looking at her with concern, so she forced herself to cheer up and replied:
"I went back. I just told him not to worry, that nothing was wrong and that I shouldn't worry about it."
Liu Fenghe's face was red from drinking.
This suspension of work made him slack off, he became addicted to alcohol, and acted like a drunkard every day.
He would still try to persuade me, as if he understood what was going on, and said in a loud voice:
"That's right. Sister, brother-in-law, don't ask. How can the People's Liberation Army do the same work as us? Confidentiality is the first priority. They have regulations and cannot talk nonsense."
Liu Yafang muttered as she carried the things to the warehouse, "We have plenty of fish at home, why should you take whatever we give you? Look, you're carrying all these old things again, and I have to clean them up. This plastic bag... Ni'er, how can you buy candied haws? You can't eat them all! And you bought so many?" She turned around and stopped, glaring at Bi Yue.
Bi Yue smiled this time: "I didn't buy it. My father-in-law saw someone who bought it on his way home. It's New Year's Day, and it's not easy for vendors to still be selling candied haws. Who knows what he was thinking? Anyway, he gave half to me and his sister's children. I can't refuse it."
You see, everyone has their own job. When Liu Yafang heard that it was Chu Hongtian who bought it, and not Bi Yue who was greedy and spent money recklessly, she immediately smiled:
"Come in, are you still awake?"
Bi Yuezhen yawned, and her whole body felt lazier, with white mist covering her face.
She hadn't slept at all. She had even coaxed Wang Xintong the entire afternoon: "You guys haven't eaten yet, just keep eating. Dad, my uncle didn't call, did he? He's in the middle of a busy season over there, so he must be super busy. Don't worry about him."
"I don't mind you. Come in."
"Well, I need to take a nap."
Bi Yue dozed off from eight in the evening to six in the morning the next day and didn't know what she was sleeping about.
…
After New Year's Day, Bi Yue drank tea and read the newspaper, lying down like an old cadre.
She read in the newspaper on the 5th that a giant meteorite crater had been discovered in Inner Mongolia. She felt sorry for the news and thought it would be great if she could still give a few classes and teach her students in a clear and simple way.
A few days later, Goudan finished his final exam and ranked 14th, which was a big improvement. From 36th to 14th was a qualitative improvement.
Just as Bi Yue was stroking her chin and planning to enroll her brother in cram school, Gou Daner appeared with a sour look on his face: "Humph!"
"What are you humming?"
Bi Sheng ignored his sister and turned away angrily.
Bi Yue was puzzled. She put on her shoes and went to her parents' house in confusion to ask who had recruited him again?
As soon as I pushed open the door curtain, I saw Bi Cheng playing the video of her lecture to Bi Tiegang and Liu Yafang.
This made her parents happy.
Her father looked proud and kept repeating, "It was not in vain."
Her mother's words were more complicated, but she was grinning from ear to ear, as if she understood what was being said:
"Look how good it is to be a teacher. You're protected from the elements. When Ni'er was applying for university, I told her that it would be best if women could be teachers and men could be police officers."
Bi Yue understood that her brother was jealous. She went to her younger brother's room with her big belly and wanted to touch his head, but he dodged her: "Gou'er, why don't you ask me? While I have time, ask me whatever I want to teach you."
I took the initiative to coax my younger brother for two days, talking to him about all sorts of things, and even got him to promise not to enroll him in cram school. Only then was it over.
On the 12th, my uncle and aunt took Dacheng's car to the train station.
Not only did they buy a lot of things for themselves, but they also bought things for their father-in-law, brother-in-law, and all the relatives on their aunt's side. This made Liu Yafang a little unhappy, and she grumbled to Bi Yue:
"You come to my house to earn money, but then you use it all up at my parents'. What are you wasting money on? You have a house in Kyoto? Why don't you bring your kids to study here? You're so careless! You have six big bags, and the car is almost full, yet you still stuff them in. You don't know how to show off your money."
Bi Yue advised: "Mom, you are so narrow-minded. Did my aunt's family help to cultivate the land? Did my aunt's family take care of the child? What's wrong with buying some things? Do you know how much worry it takes for others to help take care of the child when the parents are not around? Besides, isn't one of the six bags yours? Are you going to give it to my uncle?"
In this way, Liu Yafang was influenced imperceptibly and began to grumble a few words. Whenever she encountered something that upset her, Bi Yue would give her some advice in a few words, and she became more and more understanding.
Of course, the premise is that the mother and daughter don’t quarrel. If they start quarreling, no one can persuade them.
In the following days, when Bi Yue was in good spirits and the weather was good, she would ask Bi Cheng to take her to the Lin Group.
