Chapter 84 - 84

Chapter 84 From now on, I'm someone who owns pigs too.That evening, everyone happily ate and chatted.Yun Ting had a vague feeling that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't think of it right away.Until... after locking the door and entering the space, she saw the livestock and belatedly realized..."Ah... I forgot to pick up the pig last night..."I wonder if Jiang Shaobai has taken good care of the piglet for the time being."Forget it, let's work hard now, grow more grain, and give him some more goods before we leave as a way of thanking him."Meanwhile, Jiang Shaobai, looking at the four piglets with a headache, muttered to himself, "Did something happen to Sister Qian? What should we do with the pigs? Should we keep them?"The next day, Yun Ting went to find Jiang Shaobai before dark, because she was really worried about those piglets! They were crucial to her future freedom to eat pork." Sister Qian, you've finally arrived! I thought you weren't going to keep these pigs.""Haha... I'm sorry, something suddenly came up last night and I couldn't get away. I'm so sorry to trouble you with this. You'll have to take care of me.""Hey...it's nothing."It has to be said that Jiang Shaobai did a very good job, which satisfied Yun Ting. Knowing that it was inconvenient for her to swagger around with several piglets in broad daylight, he directly arranged for someone to send them to the outskirts of the city.It made it convenient for Yun Ting to store it in her space when no one was around.From that day on, several more piglets appeared in her online space. She even wanted to dig a pond there to raise fish and shrimp! Seafood, huh? Haha…However, we have to take it slowly. Neither my hometown nor the rural area I'm going to are places that produce seafood. In this day and age, it's difficult to travel far away, and you need a legitimate reason to get a letter of introduction.These past two days, Yun Ting has been visiting her older sister and two nephews whenever she has time. She brought them a piece of fine cotton cloth and ten yuan.This was already considered a valuable gift. It wasn't that she didn't want to give more, but she didn't have any apparent source of income! She did want to get a pair of gold bracelets made for her nephews! But in this day and age, who would dare to do such a thing? Wouldn't they be risking their lives? So, she decided to wait a few years. Now it was already 1975."Little sister, quickly put the money back, Sister Bu will take it." Yun Shu tried to stuff the money back into her hand, but Yun Ting immediately ran to the side."Big sister, you accept what second brother gives you, but why won't you accept it from me? I'm the babies' dear aunt."Yun Shu was both amused and exasperated. "How can that be the same? Second Brother gets a stipend."Yun Huai gave him twenty dollars, which Yun Shu had actually refused, but Yun Huai wouldn't take it back at all, not even if he were offered ten dollars."Sister, just this once, I still have money, don't worry."Yun Xu also gave the five yuan he had painstakingly saved to his two nephews.Yun Shu felt a warmth in her heart; these were the feelings her brothers and sisters had forChild.The two children were named Jiang Rui, the eldest, and Jiang Zhi, the second."Rui Rui, Zhi Zhi, when you grow up, remember how good your uncle and aunt are!" Yun Shusaid softly, stroking her two darlings.Jiang's mother also saw this and thought to herself that the In-laws family was quite nice.After a few leisurely days, the eve of departure soon arrived, and Yun Ting was actually quite reluctant to leave.The family members were also disappointed and reluctant to let her go, especially Mother Yun, who even shed tears that night. She felt particularly bad. Her youngest daughter, such a delicate girl, had to go to the countryside to do farm work, exposed to the wind and sun, all alone and helpless. Just thinking about it made her feel terrible.Father Yun, too, loves his youngest daughter the most. She's only been back for a few days, and now she's leaving again.But nowadays, it's really hard to find a job; you can't buy one even if you have the money.Before leaving, Yun Ting went to Jiang Shaobaiagain and gave him a batch of goods. It wasn't much: 500 catties each of rice and wheat flour, 300 apples and 300 pears, and that was it.The time for family reunion is always too short, and soon it was the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, with her train departing on the eighth.This is only because the weather is cold in Heilongjiang Province, so spring plowing hasn't started yet; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stay for so many days.The day before she left, her brother-in-law Jiang Dong brought her a lot of things: a net bag containing two jars of malted milk extract, two cans of oranges, a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, peach shortbread, and mung bean cakes."Brother-in-law, do you think I'm a child? Why did you prepare so much food for me? It's too much of a waste.""Hehe... not much. You can take these with you. If I take less than one item, your sister won't let me off the hook when we get back.""Thank you so much, brother-in-law... Please take good care of my sister and two little nephews!""Don't worry, it's a must." Jiang Dong assured him with a smile, feeling energized after acquiring two treasures at once.Her older brother also slipped her fifty yuan, which she couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.My second brother gave me ten ten-yuan bills. He was also going back to his unit. We took the train to Heilongjiang Province together, and then we parted ways when we arrived in the city."Second brother, where did you get so much money? Did you take out all the money to get married?" Yun Ting teased her second brother with a smile, holding up the ten ten-yuan bills."Hey...you're underestimating your second brother, aren't you? How much is this? Don't worry, your second brother won't be poor."Mother Yun packed her things, stuffing all her favorite foods into her bag.After helping her pack, I took out five ten-yuan bills and handed them to her, saying, "This is all I'll give you for now. Your brother and the others have already given you their money. It's not safe to carry too much cash on you. Once you get there and have spent most of it, I'll send you more!""Mom, I have enough to live on. You don't need to send me money all the time. I'll leave you ten yuan. When my nephew is born, please pass it on to him. Treat everyone the same.""Alright, Mom knows what she's doing. You're a young lady, you don't need to worry so much."Before dawn the next day, Mother Yun got up and busied herself kneading dough and making pancakes, preparing dry rations for the childrento take on the train.Yun Huai, Li Feng, and Yun Ting set off together.Yun Ting got a sleeper berth this time thanks to her second brother.Yun Ting didn't sleep in either; when she got up, she smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen."Mom, what did you make that smells so good?""You little rascal, you have such a keen sense of smell? Did you wake up by the scent?" Mother Yun glanced at her with a smile.The little girl had fair and tender skin, and looked soft and sleepy after just waking up. She adored her, but at the same time, she felt a sense of crisis."Daughter, remember this: don't easily believe the sweet words of those wolf cubs outside. You're still young, don't rush into dating. When you come back, Mom will find you a good one, okay!""Mom, don't worry! Your daughter is very clever! Those sweet words won't fool me, haha...""Mom made meat pies and egg pancakes for you, and also boiled some eggs. You can eat them with your second brother and Xiaofeng. Don't be stingy."Mother Yun makes small pancakes so they can eat them on the train.They packed the items into individual portions using oil paper and then filled their kettles with boiling water.She kept nagging, "This kettle doesn't keep things warm. The hot water Mom is filling for you now should be lukewarm by the time you get on the train, just right for drinking. If it gets cold, have your second brother get some hot water. Remember not to drink anything cold!"Yun Ting suddenly grabbed Mother Yun's arm, startling her so much that she quickly put the kettle down. "Hey... what are you doing? Be careful not to burn yourself.""Mom, you're so good to me, I don't want to leave."Mother Yun's eyes welled up with tears again because of her words.
