Chapter 507: 507 As Desired
Yang Hongwen and his wife left with a sigh. There's truly no way around it, they've never seen a woman like that before.
The next evening, Yang Jiulang and his wife went to Yang Hongwen's house. Their work points had been calculated.
The team gave them fifty-eight yuan for their work points.
The main reason is that they didn't want grain, so this was calculated based on last year's points. But this was already the best care given to them.
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Sigh, it's not easy for you two to go out either. Do your best.
What time is the train tomorrow? Don't be late."
"Tomorrow morning at eight. We will definitely head over early."
Wang Shuqin felt quite embarrassed, but there was no other choice.
"Captain, we want to sell our grain, we don't want to take it with us."
"Alright, just sell it to us."
Xu Chunjiao came over with a scale and pushed a cart.
They kept the grain for tomorrow morning, and had a hundred pounds of corn left, thirty pounds of cornmeal, ten pounds of white flour, and fifty pounds of sorghum.
Yang Hongwen directly gave them the money, and the couple pushed the cart back.
Yang Jiulang and his wife were quite excited. They now had a hundred and thirty yuan. They didn't know what things would be like over there, but even if it was worse, they still felt it was better than here.
These days, they'd been working while avoiding the mother-in-law, otherwise, things could be uncertain.
Who knows why, but the mother-in-law looked at them like they were sworn enemies.
Early in the morning, when it was still dark, the couple got up to make pancakes.
Yang Jiulang packed the couple's luggage. The pickles at home were still to be taken along. The bowls and chopsticks were packed too, and the basin had to be taken; the staff from the county had instructed them about it. After all, they needed to wash their face on the train.
Once the meal was cooked, Yang Jiulang had already packed everything.
After they ate, they took the remaining pancakes to eat on the train. Actually, if it wasn't hot, they could bring food themselves, but now it would spoil after a day.
The couple carried their luggage, locked the door, and left.
Yang Jiulang didn't look back. This was the place where he was born and raised, but it also made him want to leave immediately.
It was not until five days later that Sun Erling realized that her son and his wife had gone to Jiangbei, and she went to Yang Hongwen's house to make a fuss. Xu Chunjiao drove her away with a few blows.
She certainly wouldn't indulge her.
Sun Erling fell ill because of this, but everyone thought she just wanted to shirk and not work.
The couple arrived at the farm, just in time for the spring wheat harvest.
Zhao Qingxiang told them they could work for Mr. Li, so they could earn money.
Anyway, in their own fields, there was nothing much to plant now.
Working throughout the big autumn season also lets them earn money.
The couple worked diligently and eagerly, earning Li Hongxiang's approval.
He told them they could keep working for him.
Once Li Hongxiang's wheat was harvested, the couple went over to help him, and they had already said beforehand that they didn't want wages. After all, they had stayed at the Zhao Family for quite a few days, and they felt embarrassed.
But Zhao Qingxiang and Zhao Tian were not like that, so they planned to give the couple some grain.
Feng Baoshan also secretly observed the couple and agreed with them wholeheartedly. Such hard-working folks were good, so when assigning land, it was close to Li Hongxiang's, so they could look after one another.
The Zhao sisters in A city were concerned about the household chores, but neither could make a move, as Zhao Yanping was pregnant again, and Zhao Yanli had to go to work.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhang were now often together.
"Are you happy now? Your daughter-in-law's pregnant again. Another child at home."
"Of course, I hope Fusheng can raise a few more kids."
"I also hope my Xiao Li can have a few more. I only have Xiao Bing at home, more grandchildren would be great."
"It will happen. Xiao Li is in good shape."
The two watched their nephews together, feeling joyful regardless.
Zhou Yongbing returned from this trip thinner. He drove a long-distance journey and was away for over a month.
Family members were worried about him, and seeing him return finally relieved their concerns.
Zhou Yongbing looked at his son, truly fond of him.
At night, the couple had several talks. "Elder sister is pregnant, I see Mom is anxious. But she hasn't rushed me."
"Guess I gotta step it up."
A few days later, Zhao Yanli received a letter from Su Yuanyuan, and she was very happy.
Knowing that her friend was living well made her relieved.
She went to work daily. After her shift, she directly went to her elder sister's house.
Zhao Yanping was now four months pregnant. She wasn't working, just recuperating at home.
"Xiao Li, I'm fed up with staying home."
"Aunt's getting on in years, letting her care for Jianhua isn't ideal; this kid doesn't walk, only runs. Can you be at ease?
Didn't Brother-in-law say he could find you a job? Just wait patiently."
Zhao Yanping laughed, feeling she was being coy, "I know, I'm just spoiled by good days, being finicky.
Why are you so happy today?"
"Yuanyuan sent a letter."
"You two are really close."
"Yes, in my eyes, Yuanyuan is my sister."
After soothing her sister, she went home, not staying for dinner.
Since Zhou Yongbing was at home, she had time after work to visit Elder Sister, otherwise letting the mother-in-law care for the child and cook made her feel awkward.
In the capital, Su Yuanyuan had already taken over the first house, except the garden wasn't quite ready, but everything else was sorted.
Today, five people came over together, mainly to buy furniture.
Yesterday, she had discussed with Zeng Zhenqing, so today Tan Shaoting took leave.
Actually, the work at the garrison was particularly busy, and Tan Shaoting had been opposed to the second-in-command, so suddenly their garrison had many tasks, with intensified workload.
Tan Shaoting didn't mind. This provided good opportunities for his subordinates.
Upon arriving at the capital, they went directly to a warm welcome from the others.
"Comrades, Leader Zeng called, you can choose freely."
Su Yuanyuan entered the warehouse, her face never losing its smile; even though the two rooms they stayed in had newly built fire pits, the other rooms could accommodate beds.
She chose six beds without hesitation, everything looked great. Liked everything.
Tan Shaoting and his three sons followed behind her.
Seeing Su Yuanyuan so happy, Tan Shaoting was also delighted.
Finally selected furniture loaded onto three carts. The person in charge even helped find carpenters to check and repair furniture.
