Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1054 The Gap of the Times

Xiao Wei said, "I was just about to ask that, Liu Liu, you guys moved to the county town?"

Liu Liu said, "What? Do you think she'll agree to move? Your fourth uncle has lent her a place, right in the yard of your mountain produce company."

Xiaohong said, "Luckily, my parents and Xiaowei's parents don't have these strange ideas, otherwise they would be really worried. It feels like they're thinking completely different things. Auntie, how could you possibly think that you're doing this for their own good? Haven't you considered that you're just making their lives miserable by giving up your own good life?"

Liu Liu waved her hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. Xiao Wei, you get the car ready for the move. If they don't want to move, we'll have to tie them up and move them."

Lina burst out laughing and threw an orange peel at Liu Liu: "What did you say?"

Liu Liu's mother asked, "Then, we don't want the house anymore? What about the house? What about the land?"

Liu Liu said, "How much is land worth? Is it more than I earn in a month? I'll see which relatives want the house, and if all else fails, I'll sell it."

Liu Liu's mother opened her mouth as if to say something, but then sighed.

The old lady in the next bed said, "You young people don't understand the feelings of the older generation. What bad intentions do old people have? They just want the best for you, for you to eat well, drink well, and live well, without being a burden to you."

"When there's something good, I think of saving it all for you; when there's money, I make sure you spend it wisely. But when it's my turn, I think about how to save. Life used to be tough. Over time, my mindset has become fixed. Whenever something happens, my first thought is not to involve you. You have to understand."

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Auntie is right, that's how it is. We'll get used to it slowly. My mom and dad were in the same boat back then, so we'll take it slow. You can take my aunt to Fengtian for a check-up tomorrow, and then we can look around. Moving isn't urgent, it doesn't have to be done in half a day."

Liu Liu said, "Let's move. The longer we delay, the more she'll overthink things, and what trouble she'll cause then. She's never seen the outside world before, and she thinks everywhere is like this county town. No matter what we say, she won't understand or believe it."

Xiao Hong said, "Actually, moving is fine too, we can spend the New Year in Fengtian."

Liu Liu's mother looked up at Liu Liu and said, "How about you give the house to your sister? You didn't plan to keep it anyway."

Liu Liu said, "My sister doesn't want to. We've all gone to Fengtian, what's the point of my sister staying here? Once we're settled, let my sister and the others go too. They can do something slowly, it's better than farming at home."

Liu Liu's mother said, "Once you're married, you belong to another family. Don't make decisions for yourself. We need to discuss it and see what your brother-in-law thinks, understand?"

Liu Liu said, "Alright, don't worry about these things. I don't believe my brother-in-law wants to farm and be poor. I'm going to get him discharged."

Xiao Hong said, "You need to get discharged early, right? Who are you going to talk to now?"

Liu Liu said, "The attending physician is here, I'll go talk to him. Xiao Wei, you guys go ahead and do what you need to do, we're going back to the village tomorrow."

Xiao Wei said, "Nothing's wrong. We'll go back to the village tomorrow to pick up my fourth uncle and the others."

Liu Liu said, "I'll go back and pack. Can you help me get a car? I'm leaving tomorrow. It'll probably take a day or two to settle in there, right? I'm thinking of getting my mom a check-up as soon as possible. I'm so worried about her every day."

Xiao Wei said, "That works too. When you get there, just find Chen Hui and ask him to help you make arrangements. The house is upstairs in Ga Zi's building, everything is ready."

Xiao Hong asked Lina, "Have you two gotten your marriage certificate yet?"

Lina shook her head, glanced at Liu Liu's mother, and said, "They're always busy with this little thing, how can they have the energy for anything else?" She whispered, "Did Ga Zi and Si Wei really earn over ten thousand this month?"

Xiao Hong said, "It's true, Gazi made over 110,000, and Siwei made less than 100,000, around 90,000. We held a New Year's goods festival, and oh my god, you didn't see it! There were huge crowds of people, tens of thousands a day. Even our Beixi had people going there specifically."

Lina said, "You organized the New Year's shopping festival? I watched TV and it's all over. You guys are really something. No way, I'll have to make Zhaodi treat us when I get to."

Xiao Hong laughed and said, "Even if you didn't say anything, she would still have invited me. She and Ga Zi got their marriage certificate."

Liu Liu asked from the side, "They haven't come back yet?"

Xiao Wei said, "It'll be the 21st or 22nd, I guess. There's a big meeting on the 20th, and they have to attend. I reckon Gazi's parents will be going to Fengtian after the New Year, and it's hard to say about Siwei. I haven't been keeping an eye on Changyuan and Xinghai. What are they thinking?"

Liu Liu said, "I haven't seen them for a while either. I'm here every day, while they're usually in the city."

We discussed it and decided to rent out our stall in the city, splitting the money among ourselves. We can't manage everything, like stocking the stalls and such. The two of them have been clearing out their stock and looking for tenants.

Xiao Hong said, "Why is it taking so long to clear out stock?"

Liu Liu said, "No, it's not that. The key is that we haven't found a suitable tenant yet. Anyway, we're not in a hurry. We originally planned to go to Fengtian after the New Year."

Xiao Wei said, "Anyway, I've made all the preparations for Fengtian. You guys discuss things here, I won't interfere. Just don't argue over a few dollars. You'll see when you get out there, it's not worth it. You can make money all you want."

Lina said, "Gazi and Siwei can both earn over 100,000 yuan. You guys must be making a fortune. I won't ask anymore. I'm too sad."

Liu Liu's mother rubbed her face awkwardly and said, "This is my fault. Blame me if you want. I'm just too stubborn to see things clearly. You guys should go and do your job well after the new year starts. From now on, I'll listen to you."

Lina said, "What do you mean by 'listen to us'? We're the younger generation, so you, Aunt, are still the one in charge at home. We just want you and Uncle to go out and enjoy life."

Xiao Hong asked, "Lina, where are your parents? What did they say?"

Lina said, "What can I say? Do you think everyone is a saint? They sell worthless goods and won't take them back. I can't be bothered to argue with them."

Xiao Hong said, "So you're not going to care about them in the future? You're not going to care about anything?"

Lina pouted: "Can we not care? How can we care? We can give them some money during holidays, but not too much. We'll deal with the future later; they're hundreds of miles away. Can they ever come back?"

Xiao Hong said, "That's true. You're not the only one in your family, so it's easy to handle things. People like me, even if we don't take care of them, we still have to."

Liu Liu said, "Changyuan and Erya also went there alone; they didn't go to their families. Changyuan's parents live with his brother. Erya is no different from Lina at home; they're counting on their son."

Xinghai is a little upset, because his parents aren't going, but Kexin's parents are, haha, they've already made all the moving arrangements.

Xiao Wei said, "Last time, didn't I hear that you were going to move your whole family to the county town? You said you'd get a piece of land on the outskirts of town or something, and live together."

Liu Liu said, "That's what we think, but nobody would agree to it. Ga Zi's family only has him, and mine only has me, so we definitely have to go to Fengtian. Siwei, Changyuan, and Xinghai, the old man lives with his eldest son and never comes out; he still manages to farm a little bit of land."

"At Lai Zi's house, his father seems to have beaten him up, saying he was causing trouble outside and made him return the money to someone, but he didn't know who. They kept him at home and wouldn't let him leave. His parents didn't hide the money; they're hiding from people every day."
