As they were chatting, the Song family arrived, and several other families also came. The kitchen had already roasted a batch of meat, so everyone moved to the yard to eat meat and drink wine.
"Grandma, Grandpa, you're old, so don't come with us to pick river gourds. When we left, Mom specifically told you not to work anymore."
The old man waved his hand and said, "When you get old, you have to work. If you don't work and just eat, your body will collapse in a few years.
We work hard, earning money every day makes us happy, and we feel that we are still useful and not immortal."
"Grandpa is talking nonsense again."
"That's just the way it is. As you get older, you need something to rely on. What's the point of sitting at home facing the wall all day?"
"You can take grandma for a stroll and play everywhere."
"What's the point of playing with just two people? It's more fun with more people. By the way, how is your mother? Is she used to living in the capital?"
"Grandpa knows Mom's personality. She doesn't like staying at home. But we often go out to play, so it's not boring."
"Then go ahead." The old man handed the chicken leg to his granddaughter, "Xiaoyu, you're pregnant now, do you still want to go to the capital?"
"Yes, my mother and the others are all in the capital. I am still pregnant, so it won't be a problem for me to travel quickly."
"Yes, Dad, let's walk slowly. We won't have to rush at night. It's no problem to play while walking through the city."
The old man was still a little worried, "She's the first child."
"Grandpa, I'm in good health. Look at my face, it's rosy. People in our village are not so particular and we are not pampered."
"You can go there now, but I'm afraid you won't be here during the New Year, right?"
The old man is a wise man. It is impossible for his granddaughter to travel continuously, and it is impossible for his daughter and son-in-law to let her and her husband spend the New Year in the capital.
So after this trip, they might not come back for a year.
He hasn't seen his daughter for years.
My old eyes feel a little sore.
When they went to the provincial capital, he knew that the chances of meeting would become fewer and fewer.
Zhao Xiaoyu felt a little guilty, "Grandpa, can we come over to celebrate the New Year next year?"
"Hey, come next year."
"Dad," Zhao Dashu couldn't bear to see them suffer, "Why don't you and mom come with us, so you can look after Xiaoyu along the way.
There will be no work left at home, so you don't have to worry about it. My uncle and his family are very capable. How about spending the New Year with us?"
Boss Song stopped chewing his meat. "No, what does Dashu mean? Is he trying to steal my parents from them? What are we going to do when my parents aren't home for the New Year?"
"Old woman, what do you think?"
Damn, Dad is moved.
"I think it's okay. What do you think? The children at home are grown up. They can live a hard life just as well as us."
"That's what I mean. They've all split up and are living on their own. They're really no different than us. It's time for us to live the life we want for a few years."
"Yeah, I should go out more while I can. Come to think of it, I haven't even been to the capital city yet!"
"Then I'll take you to see it. The city is very prosperous. It's no use just listening to me. You still have to go and see it for yourself.
"I want to see the world, too, and see the streets and tall houses you mentioned."
"Then it's settled. After you finish picking up the river gourds, go to Grandpa and Grandma's house to pack up and come with us to the provincial capital."
"Tian, let's go together. I can keep an eye on you along the way, and your grandfather and I will feel at ease."
"Well, take care of me on the way."
"Xiaoyu, you guys aren't coming for the New Year, are you?" the village chief interrupted.
