Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Zhuang Bo had a holiday and he wanted to take Wei Zhu back to his hometown to visit.

Song Xia agreed with this. She couldn't let Zhuang Bo's father spend the New Year alone in his old age. Those who were already engaged should be recognized by Zhuang's relatives. For this trip, Song Xia prepared a lot of gifts.

Zhuang Bo said she was too polite: "Auntie, this is too much! Just bring some fruits. My dad was so happy when he heard that Wei Zhu was going back with me that he didn't care about these things."

"Yes, you brought so many things with you for the first time. It's also Wei Zhu's first time here. How can we go there empty-handed? That would be embarrassing."

"I'm the man, it's my responsibility to carry things."

"There's no such thing as right or wrong. Can the woman pretend not to know etiquette? I brewed this wine myself. Bring it back for your father to taste."

Zhuang Bo was full of sighs, not knowing what to say. He knew the aunt's skills and her winemaking skills were impeccable. He heard that many customers wanted to buy it at a high price and could only buy a limited amount, but the aunt still filled such a big pot.

He felt that he could meet Wei Zhu again and have such an open-minded and kind mother-in-law in the future, which was almost like saving the galaxy as said on the Internet. In the past, because his mother died of illness, the villagers said that he had a bad fate. Who would dare to make such a conclusion now? Which man in the village could find a girlfriend as good as Wei Zhu like him?

"Mom, aren't you going with us?" Wei Zhu had some expectations. She wanted her mother to go with her so that she could feel at ease. Although Zhuang Bo was from the countryside, he would treat her well. From her previous experience of video chatting with Zhuang's father, she knew that Zhuang's father was also a hardworking and clean person, and she would not be wronged.

"I won't go this first time. I'll meet Zhuang Bo's father again when we get married. Don't rush back after you go. Spend the New Year with Zhuang Bo's father. You will settle down in the provincial capital in the future, and you can meet me anytime. But you don't have much time to meet Zhuang Bo's father. It's rare for you to go back, so spend more time with him."

"Well, I see."

Because he had a lot of stuff, Zhuang Bo rented a car. He sighed again that he had no ability and still didn't even have a car.

In fact, he had some savings. He had lived frugally in the past two years and the money he saved was enough to buy a car. But if he bought a car with this money, how would he plan his wedding and support his family in the future? The down payment for the house really couldn't all be paid by Aunt Song!

He estimated that if he bought a car first after marriage, then buying a house would have to be postponed. If he bought a house first, he would be short of money to buy a car every year after paying off the mortgage. If he had another child after marriage...

So he looked at Wei Zhu with guilt: "I asked you to marry me and suffer with me."

He knew clearly that with Wei Zhu's conditions, he would definitely be able to find someone better than him. Wei Zhu would soon have a regular job, had a good personality, and her family could give her a considerable amount of settling-in money. In the blind date market, she would be someone that everyone would be vying for.

"It's OK as long as I don't feel bitter." Wei Zhu smiled gently, "Don't say such things again in the future. Do we still need to be so formal with each other?"

"Yeah." Zhuang Bo secretly vowed that he would be good to Wei Zhu in his whole life. If he also passed the civil service exam, he might not be able to give Wei Zhu a very rich life in this life, so he must be more considerate of the little things in daily life.

After Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo returned to the countryside, Song Xia put a note on the snack bar saying it was closed for vacation. This year she wanted to take a few more days off, so she gave all her employees ten days off and gave each of them a generous New Year's red envelope.

"Thank you for your hard work this year, see you next year."

The four employees were so moved that they didn't know what to say. They were the happiest employees in the surrounding restaurants. The boss was kind and paid them well. Not only did they have weekly days off, but even during the long Chinese New Year holiday, their wages were not deducted. They also had delicious employee meals on weekdays. Where else could you find a job like this?

Judging from the thickness of the red envelope, it must be quite a lot. Although the boss has high requirements for health and safety, compared with what they are given, what are the requirements for them? I really hope that the boss will make a fortune every year and they can continue to work with the boss.

Xiao Meng and Xiao Xu were the most deeply touched, because with the extra salary, they have more money financially in the past two years and the family no longer has to be as tight on finances as before.

"Boss, I wish you great fortune in the New Year, and see you next year!" Song Xia waved at them, then closed the door and decided to go out for a walk. The shop had been open for so long that he hadn't even had a good time in the provincial capital.

Before she knew it, she had walked to the mall where Wei Deng worked, but she did not go into the buffet restaurant because she did not like buffets very much. When it came to eating, she always ate until she was 80% full, and the buffet format was not suitable for her.

The Chinese New Year was approaching, and the shopping malls were filled with a lively atmosphere of red. Song Xia bought a lot of decorations, and also bought some clothes, socks, hats and other things for Wei Zhu, Wei Deng and Zhuang Bo, all with festive colors of the Chinese New Year.

Of course, she had quite a bit of her own money, and in the end she couldn't lift it anymore and had to wait for Wei Deng to get off work.

Wei Deng had no regrets about carrying the things, unlike in the past when he would complain about everything he was asked to do, not to mention that some of the things here were bought for him.

“Still taking three days off this year?”

"Well, will mom go back this year?"

When Wei Deng said going back, he meant going back to the county town. The house in the county town had been sold long ago, so he was going back to sweep the grave and burn incense for Wei Deng's father.

"Your sister is not here this year, so Mom will go with you."

"Then let's drive back. I'll rent a car."

Song Xia was surprised: "You got your driver's license?"

"got it."

As for Wei Deng's driving lessons, he paid the tuition when he started college, because Song Xia heard people say at that time that it is better for boys to learn to drive earlier. However, Wei Deng did not take it seriously before, and Song Xia almost forgot about it.

"Then let's rent a car. It's troublesome to take the train back and change trains."

Song Xia has no need to buy a car in her life. She knows that her daughter Wei Zhu and son Wei Deng will need cars in the future, but they are not incapable of buying them themselves. God knows how tiring it is for her to run a store, and she can't take care of everything for her.

Wei Deng thought about what happened last year and frowned, "Will you meet that guy called Jing Jun again this year?"

Song Xia thought of the news Xiao Ling reported, that Jing Jun decided to bring his current girlfriend home this year, and he must have given up completely. It was a pity for the girl. She had tried to persuade him anonymously several times but to no avail. However, she would continue to pay attention to him.

You can get divorced after getting married, but you must never let the other party suffer the same fate as Wei Zhu in his previous life.

"Even if he met us, you would still be afraid of him. Your sister would never choose him again."

"That's right, mom. Fortunately, you asked me to resign. If I had continued to work in that factory and let Jing Jun succeed, I would have had a hard time. Although Zhuang Bo is a little poor, he has a good future, and most importantly, he is good to me."

Song Xia chuckled: "It's rare that you care about your sister so much now."

Weiden scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was ignorant before." (End of this chapter)
