Chapter 459: Return to the capital
Chapter 459: Return to the capital
When Lijia Village’s village branch secretary heard this, his mind wanted to express something.
It wasn’t only Ai Guo’s wife’s Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt’s family who was in the capital? There were so many people, her grandparents, youngest aunt, uncle and others?
What kind of big family was Ai Guo’s wife’s family?
“Fourth Aunt, counting the time, Da Wa had graduated, right?” Zhou San Ni asked.
“It’s been almost two years since graduation. This year, San Wa has entered Bei University.” Lin Qing He merrily responded.
“San Wa also entered Bei University?” Zhou San Ni uttered in surprise: “That means all three brothers are Bei University’s student?”
At this time, not only the village branch secretary was shocked, but Li Ai Guo was also shocked.
He knew that this fourth uncle and fourth aunt were brilliant, but he didn’t know the whole family was Bei University student?
In this era of college students’ golden titles. A family of Bei University college students! What kind of family was this? If this was happened in the countryside, it would had been in the newspaper.
It was simply bringing glory the ancestor. The smoke from the ancestor wasn’t as brilliant as this.
Lin Qing He smiled and said, “These three brats. They are only good at studying.”
Zhou Qing Bai’s gaze toward his wife’s gaze was so gentle. Three sons can become dragons and phoenixes was due to relying on what they inherited from their eighteen generation of poor peasant Zhou ancestors.
It was his wife who brought blessing to the husband as well as the sons.
Now they can call themselves a scholarly family. A veritable scholarly family.
At this time, Li Ai Guo took the village party secretary to count the assets at home. Tonight, he will kill two chickens to eat, and the rest will change hands. Also, the crops and the rest of the land.
All the account was settled. The final amount was about one hundred and fifty yuan. Li Ai Guo removed the remainder. So it was one hundred and fifty.
The village branch secretary happily went to bring the money over. Lin Qing He took a bottle of Mao Tai wine from her. But actually, it was from the space.
Two chickens were killed for dinner that evening. They had invited the village branch secretary to stay for a drink.
At the dinner table, Lin Qing He talked a lot about the capital city. She also revealed some of the situation to the village branch secretary, as well as some developments in other places. Such as those in the south.
The village branch secretary was stunned when he heard it. He couldn’t help it. His knowledge was incomparable with that of Ai Guo’s wife’s fourth uncle and fourth aunt.
However, he was very happy to eat at the dinner table. Mou Tai was a good wine. It was very strong and full of mellow.
The village party secretary was very satisfied with the meal. He was still drunk when he returned. Li Ai Guo sent him back.
“When you go to the capital, don’t forget our hometown. When you have time, come back and have a look.” The village branch secretary patted him on the shoulder and said.
He felt that this nephew, Li Ai Guo, would have a great future when he goes out. Especially when he encountered these elders who were willing to promote him from behind.
“Here is my root, so I must come back and have a look.” Li Ai Guo replied.
The village branch secretary smiled and patted him on the shoulder before letting him go back.
Li Ai Guo headed home.
“Check what you need to bring. Take away the ones that are easy to bring. But for those that aren’t, we’ll go over and buy them there again. There is no need for any coupons or the likes over there.” Lin Qing He said.
In fact, they complied with her advice. Just bring stuff like clothes. But they also knew that they were leaving their homes. Better to spend less as much as possible.
Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni wanted to bring a lot of things, such as clothes, quilts and pots and pans.
Lin Qing He felt her head was throbbing.
Zhou Qing Bai said: “Take it. I’ll carry some for you then.”
Both Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni felt embarrassed, but this can’t be helped. As the old saying goes, beggars have a lot of luggage when they move.
It looked like there weren’t much stuff. But once you move house, one will know how much there actually was.
“Tomorrow Chuan Zi will take us directly to the county in an ox cart. Let’s go to Third Uncle and Third Aunt’s side?” Li Ai Guo asked.
“You go first. We have to go back to the village to pick up Si Ni.” Lin Qing He responded: “She’s San Ni’s cousin from her eldest uncle’s family. This time, she will go to the capital with us.”
Li Ai Guo nodded. Since they were going to get up early tomorrow, they will go to bed earlier if there was nothing else to do.
Before dawn the next day, Zhou San Ni got up to make breakfast. The food at home weren’t going to be taken away. These were left for Li Ai Guo’s parents.
Although the elders didn’t act like elders, the responsibilities that should be fulfilled must be fulfilled. For nothing other than the villagers to keep in mind, right?
“Ai Guo specially bought these few jins rice for me. There’s no production here. Aunt, you can go over and give it to my eldest uncle and eldest aunt to eat.” Zhou San Ni said.
Although the responsibilities were fulfilled, they weren’t willing. So ah, the good things won’t be given to them.
Lin Qing He didn’t refuse. After breakfast, she went home with Zhou Qing Bai by bicycle. They’ll regroup with Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni at Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law’s shop.
Only when Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai returned to the village, did they know Zhou Si Ni had gone to the city by the village’s donkey cart this morning.
“It’s only that far. No need to worry about her fourth uncle not being able to carry her over” Lin Qing He understood why Eldest Sister-in-law did this and said with a smile.
“It’s tiring enough to come here from over there. Then you have to bring her to the city. Any way it’s on the way. Let her ride the donkey cart and be done with it.” Eldest Sister-in-law responded.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had lunch here. After lunch, Zhou Qing Bai went to say goodbye to Second Brother. Lin Qing He talked with Mrs. Cai, Zhou Dong, Cai Ba Mei and those she had a good relationship with.
The couple rode their bicycle back to the city.
A bicycle was returned to old Zhou Family. Lin Qing He hopped on Zhou Qing Bai’s bike.
Have to say, Eldest Sister-in-law paid attention to detail. It was fine to let Si Ni to stay and be brought to the city by the couple. Third Brother could send the bicycle back when he went to the countryside to collect the goods.
But now this way took a lot less effort.
The couple came to the city. Zhou San Ni, Zhou Si Ni and Li Ai Guo were all at Third Brother’s shop.
“With so many people going there all at once, the capital city’s side is going to be even more lively.” Third Sister-in-law jollily remarked.
She only knew then that Lin Qing He wanted to take San Ni to the capital city. This couldn’t be any better. Once they’re at the capital city, the medical equipment there can treat her.
“It’s already lively there. Think about how many people in our family are in the capital?” Lin Qing He said with a smile.
Third Sister-in-law grinned. She also began to remind both Zhou San Ni and Zhou Si Ni. Zhou Qing Bai had already gone to Third Brother Lin’s side to say goodbye. Third Brother Lin came over with him.
He helped with the baggage. Then the group of five got into the bus with the baggage and headed to the municipal city.
It was pretty late when they arrived in the city. Still, there was one last train to the capital. So even when they were tired, they got on it.
