Chapter 1462: Picking Up
"Hmm, it’s good to have it all sorted out." After all, this is a collective matter for Li Yungui and the others on this side.
Work was done quickly today, so there’s no need for overtime.
Li Xue bought a big rooster this afternoon, planning for her second brother to have dinner at home tonight.
Chaoyang saw Hongpeng and Zhibin and thought that these two youngsters will surely stay in the village to live, just like the Red Army.
Lv Beiguang and Yang Xiuqin also brought their two children back for dinner.
Chaoyang just then realized that his father-in-law has found a new partner, and that he has a little brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Now Chaoyang understood why his wife agreed so readily to go to the Capital with him, it’s definitely because her father has company and she doesn’t have to worry about him being lonely with no one to accompany him.
"Dad, after Jing Chu and I get married, let her accompany me to the Capital.
I’m really overwhelmed with work. Let Jing Chu manage the accounts."
"You two couples discuss it." Lv Beiguang is a very open-minded father, he lets the children make their own decisions.
"Dad, I’ve already finished renovating the house in the Capital."
"Second brother, you even renovated our house?"
"Yes, I had someone check the tiles on the roof. Completely installed floor heating and repainted. The yard has been tidied up too."
"Thank you, second brother. How much is it? Let me pay you."
"It’s not much, just five hundred yuan."
"Alright, I’ll give it to you later."
"Xue’er, you don’t have to pay me."
"How can that be?" This was Guodong speaking. It’s already very difficult for them to help. Although Chaoyang is his brother-in-law and cousin, they shouldn’t take advantage of others.
"Chaoyang, you should accept the money." Lv Beiguang also said.
After dinner, Chaoyang and Jing Chu returned to their room, showing affection but without crossing any boundaries.
Lv Beiguang and the others returned to the distillery. Yiqing and Ruoyan didn’t stay together, with so many children at home, Yang Xiuqin let the two stay.
The Tao family received so many things from the Yang family, Tao Chunhe was quite satisfied. It’s not about the quantity, but the attitude of the Yang family.
Moreover, they know that the two siblings from the Yang family have arrived. Although there’s no need for them to take care, it’s still something comforting mentally.
Tao YanZhen was very worried about Yang Zhongyi leaving.
"Brother, after I give birth let sister-in-law help take care, can I go to the border?"
"Your sister-in-law can take care of the child, but you can’t go, Xiao Zhen. I understand your intention, but don’t mention this again." The Tao family has its own support, there’s no need for the sister to sacrifice so much.
Tao YanZhen didn’t say anything further.
Han Xiangjun was speechless when he learned that the Yang siblings had come.
"Yu Jie, that girl really is smart. She told me she wanted to come, and I refused, but she really managed to persuade the family."
"Actually, it should be the Yang family showing an attitude to the Tao family."
"Yes, Yang Zhongyi leaving like this, it’s understandable for the Yang family to act this way, but Yu Jie is also seizing this opportunity."
"Old Han, are you leaving soon?"
"Indeed, there’s a big mess at home. Chaoyang’s mind is now all on his wife."
"Who told you not to have a wife?" Old Yang wasn’t comfortable unless he teased Han Xiangjun.
"Hey, it’s my hot temper, it’s because I, Han Xiangjun, don’t want it."
Old Yang hummed in response. Actually, having found happiness at home, he wants his friends to be happy too.
Jianbin was listening from the side. Suddenly he spoke, "Dad, I wish you could find a partner too." He’s grown up now and understands many things. The elders around him are in pairs, only his dad is alone.
Han Xiangjun smiled and put down his chopsticks. "Jianbin, Dad doesn’t want that kind of life anymore. If I wanted to, I would have found someone long ago. You don’t need to worry about Dad."
Now everyone stopped persuading. Maybe it’s like Lv Beiguang, just waiting for the right time.
In the following two days, a few people were busy bottling all the wine, and on the third day, a vehicle from the county transport team arrived. After the two vehicles were filled, they set off together.
After his father’s departure, Jianbin felt a bit down. He’s very sensitive right now. He initially wanted his dad to go back together so he could spend New Year with him. But Han Xiangjun refused.
It means he would definitely be very busy. Definitely won’t have time to look after Jianbin. So it’s better to stay here.
Shi Jing noticed his good friend’s low mood, not knowing how to comfort him, so he just stayed with him.
Lv Beiguang and the others started another round of winemaking. But it’s no longer as intense as before.
With sons and sons-in-law all working together, he felt more relaxed.
Five days later, Wei Kaiyun drove to the city to wait for the Yang siblings.
After asking around at the train station, he figured the train wouldn’t arrive until midnight.
Wei Kaiyun was quite helpless, he really didn’t want to be alone here now, so he drove back home.
Jiang Xinyu saw him return alone, "What’s up?"
"At the earliest, it won’t arrive until two in the morning, so I came back."
"Haha, I thought something was wrong."
"Wife, why do you think they all came over?"
"It’s for their family’s aunt.
Also, Jing Chu learned accounting from me. She’ll accompany Chaoyang back to the Capital."
"That’s good. This way Chaoyang can stay well-behaved in the Capital."
Wei Kaiyun tidied up a bit and went to work at the distillery. He was already used to doing this every day. Suddenly not working one day actually felt unusual.
At one o’clock in the morning, Wei Kaiyun reluctantly drove away. Jiang Xinyu had prepared an overcoat for him, afraid he’d be cold waiting in the car.
With snow already starting to fall as Wei Kaiyun went out, he thought it’s lucky the two kids didn’t wait for heavy snow, otherwise walking to pick them up would be necessary.
He waited at the train station for over three hours before the train arrived.
"Uncle Wei, thanks for picking us up."
"No need to thank me. Let’s hurry home, and we’ll head to the county in daylight. This snow is likely to be heavy."
Yang Yujie immediately let the two protectors return, avoiding the situation of not being able to go back.
Eventually, Wei Kaiyun drove and reached home at six.
"Uncle Wei. We’ll go to my little aunt’s house first."
"Okay. If it’s inconvenient, you’re welcome to stay at home."
"Uncle Wei, I’ll stay with my aunt, and let Zhenyu and Shi Jing stay together."
"Alright, whatever arrangements you make are fine." She’s a grown-up girl now, capable of arranging her future life.
The Tao family hadn’t gotten up yet, but they heard the knocking at the door. Tao Chunhe came out to open it and saw Wei Kaiyun and the Yang siblings, immediately inviting them inside.
"You all chat, I’ll head home. Yu Jie, if you’ve arranged everything, let Zhenyu go to my place. Also, if you’re energetic today, try to go to the educated youth office." After explaining everything, Wei Kaiyun drove back home.
