Lu Susu is about to start school, and Lu Jianguo must take her back.
Chen Yuncai and Dong Defang were originally worried about Lu Yao and wanted to spend more time with her here, but seeing that she was doing well here, they went back with Lu Jianguo.
Knowing that Dong Defang and the others were leaving, Gu Fulan took the pheasant, two rabbits, two big fish, and Lu Susu's little rabbit. Gu Fulan felt that it was not enough, so he took all the eggs he had saved at home. Caught two chickens from the chicken coop.
Chen Yuncai couldn't resist Gu Fulan's enthusiasm, held her hand and smiled.
"Sister-in-law, there are too many, we can't take them."
"Not much, not much, not much at all," Gu Fulan said cheerfully, "You brought so many things to Yaoyao, but our family doesn't have anything good to give you. I feel bad."
Chen Yuncai: "It's okay. We should prepare a dowry for Yaoyao. Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. We will take away the fish, pheasants and rabbits. We will keep the old hens to lay eggs for the children to eat. We won't raise them even if we take them back." It’s a waste of food.”
Old hens are one of the few sources of income for rural people.
Lu Yao advised from the side, "Mom, just listen to my concubine."
Gu Fulan pursed his lips and said, "Okay, this way, when the third child hunts rabbits, pheasants, etc., I will ask him to send them to you."
Hearing this, Chen Yuncai laughed out loud, "Sister-in-law, the round-trip fare costs more than ten yuan, which is not cost-effective."
"Relatives can't make plans," Gu Fulan said matter-of-factly, "Visiting relatives means you have to walk around each other to get close to each other. You can't send anything to Yaoyao. Our family doesn't show any sign of it."
Gu Fulan smiled mysteriously at Chen Yuncai, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I would have been reluctant to let it go before, but now that the third child can make money, ten yuan is nothing to him. From now on, let him Yue will take Yaoyao to see you."
Chen Yuncai glanced at Lu Yao. It seemed that the couple had not told Gu Fulan about going to the capital yet, so she would stop talking.
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law."
Gu Fulan felt a little embarrassed, "Oh, you are so polite. We are a family. Don't say thank you. It's too intrusive."
, "Okay, listen to my sister-in-law."
In the evening, Chen Yuncai and the others called Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie into the room.
Chen Yuncai gave the two of them a few instructions, and then took out a wad of money and a national ticket from his pocket.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie said they wanted nothing.
Chen Yuncai stuffed the ticket into Lu Yao's hand, "Just take it if I tell you to. There's so much nonsense. It's not as good as here in the capital. No matter how much money you make, it's useless without tickets. Don't be polite to me, at home." If we can’t use up all the tickets, we won’t have anything to eat if we give them to you.”
Lu Yao pursed her lips and said, "Jin Zi, thank you."
Chen Yuncai gave her an angry look, "Your mother-in-law even said she wouldn't let you say thank you."
Lu Yao laughed, "I didn't expect you and my mother to get along well in the past few days."
Chen Yuncai sat up straight, "To tell you the truth, I admire your mother-in-law very much. She raised several children by herself, and her husband and eldest son are gone. If it were me, I really wouldn't be able to handle it."
"Besides, I really hate your mother-in-law's mouth. I really want to be like her and scold you as much as you want. It's so relaxing."
Not long after Lu Yao was moved, she laughed after hearing this.
"If my mother knew that you envied her, she would definitely be very happy."
Lu Jianguo looked at Duan Mingjie, then at Lu Yao, and said, "I still want to tell you something."
Duan Mingjie: "Dad, what's going on?"
"Yesterday I was walking around and heard some gossip, saying that Yaoyao would take you back to the city sooner or later and knock on the door. I could hear it, and your mother must have heard it too."
Lu Jianguo only understood yesterday why Gu Fulan was concerned about whether his son was coming that day. He probably wanted to know if he had a son, and was worried that Duan Mingjie would return to the city to be his son.
Lu Yao frowned, "No wonder my mother doesn't seem very happy."
Duan Mingjie straightened his lips.
Lu Jianguo: "Please help me tell my in-laws that I have no intention of letting you go back to live with me. You should also give her a reassurance that your mother's life will not be easy. If you can avoid making her sad, don't make her sad."
It was indeed Gu Fulan's fault that he wronged Yaoyao in order to give his second son a wife, but from a parent's perspective, he could understand it.
Besides, other than this matter, Gu Fulan had nothing to say to Yaoyao, much better than many mothers-in-law.
No one is perfect, and they have no reason to completely deny a person's good qualities just because the other person did something bad.
Lu Yao nodded, "Dad, I know."
"When you settle down in the capital, write to us. I don't have many tickets with me this time. When I get back, I will send them to you as before."
Lu Yao bit her lip and didn't say no, "Thank you, dad."
"Okay, you all go back, we'll pack up and leave tomorrow."
After Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao came out, Lu Yao wanted to talk to her mother-in-law, but Duan Mingjie stopped her and said, "We'll talk after dad and the others leave."
Early the next morning, Duan Mingjie borrowed a tractor from the village and took them to the station.
Lu Susu was very reluctant to give up. She squatted at the door holding the little rabbit and talking to Dahuang.
In just a few days, she fell in love with it.
Lu Jianguo came over to urge her.
Lu Susu looked at Dahuang with tears in her eyes, "Dahuang, I'm leaving, you must remember to miss me."
Woof——
Dahuang yelled.
Lu Susu dropped the rabbit in her hand and hugged Dahuang's neck, "Ooooh, Dahuang, I can't let you go."
Lu Yao couldn't help but pull her up.
Lu Susu's eyes were filled with tears, "Sister, you must take good care of the rhubarb, let it eat delicious food, and don't starve it."
Lu Yao wanted to laugh, but held it back. She was not as sentimental as Lu Susu, but she would not abuse small animals either.
"Do not worry."
Lu Susu looked at Duan Mingming, "Sister Mingming, I really can't let you go."
Duan Mingming came over and hugged her, "I'll see you when I get the chance."
Lu Susu: "You have to keep your word."
Duan Mingming nodded, "Keep your word."
Lu Jianguo urged from the side, "Hurry up and leave. We'll be late and won't be able to catch the train."
Dong Defang and his wife and Lu Jianguo said goodbye to Gu Fulan, then got on the tractor and left.
After Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao sent people home, they gathered their family members and discussed the important matter.
"Mom, Yaoyao and I are going to settle in the capital."
