Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Entering the City Again
Seeing her son’s expression, Lin Chunju pointed towards the house.
“Xiaofang isn’t she taking on jobs in the city? She’s made two deliveries, and the boss really appreciates her craftsmanship,” she said.
Yue Jiannan, as if he had been praised himself, proudly said, “That’s because my sister is blessed by the heavens with her skills, even the city folks can’t compare to her.”
“Right, but after all, she is a girl, and I worry every time she goes to the city alone, not to mention that traveling back and forth wastes time she could spend working.”
Yue Jiannan understood, “Mom, are you suggesting I go to the city to make deliveries?”
Lin Chunju encouraged him, “You are brave and have your own way of doing things, I think you are the best person for this task.”
Praised by Lin Chunju like that, Yue Jiannan scratched his head and laughed, “Mom, you really have a good eye for talent.”
Once this child is complimented, his tail starts to wag to the sky.
Lin Chunju found it amusing, “Alright, that’s settled then. Your big brother sometimes goes to the city as well, you can go together, and if possible, you can also take Qingqing with you.”
Yue Jiannan, having received a new task, was instantly overjoyed.
“No problem, but what has big brother been doing in the city lately?”
“I’m not sure, he probably has his plans.”
Lin Chunju had a lot of confidence in Yue Jiandong, so she didn’t even ask him for details.
Ever since he was young, her eldest son had been sensible, never causing her any extra concerns.
Yue Jiannan agreed without asking further. Others might wonder, since the elder brother goes to the city, why not let him take the goods? But Jiannan thought surely mom believes I’m more reliable; she wouldn’t even trust my brother with this.
Yue Jiannan was the legendary optimist.
Like the weeds between the fields, no matter how many times they are trampled on, just give them a little water and they spring back to life.
And so, Yue Xiaofang was greeted with her brother’s silent harassment.
While she was working, Yue Jiannan would watch intently with his head propped up by his hand.
With his eager look, he seemed to be complaining about how she wasn’t finished yet.
Yue Xiaofang felt enormous pressure as if a supervisor was standing right beside her.
It was Yue Qingqing who couldn’t stand it anymore and went up to him.
“Uncle, I want some honey,” she said.
The honey was in a cupboard above the stove, which Yue Qingqing could not reach.
Yue Jiannan reluctantly led her to the kitchen, “You can only have a spoonful, don’t eat too much, okay? I heard eating too much sugar can cause cavities.”
“I know,” she replied.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t had any for a long time either, I’ll make a couple of bowls later.”
“That’ll rot your teeth!”
“Kids’ teeth, not adults’.”
Yue Qingqing felt helpless. Alright, consider yourself an adult then.
Yue Xiaofang, watching their retreating figures, finally breathed a sigh of relief and sped up her work.
Finally, after two days, Yue Xiaofang finished the new batch of goods, and Yue Jiannan was excited and thrilled.
“I’m going to the city tomorrow!”
Yue Jiandong put down his chopsticks, “Good timing, I’m going tomorrow as well. We can go together.”
Yue Qingqing struggled to lift her head from the bowl.
Yue Jiandong thought for a moment, after all, it was two adults, plus Qingqing was sensible and never wandered off, it shouldn’t be hard to take her along.
“Okay, you come too.”
And so, there was one more excited person.
In the early morning, Yue Qingqing went out to the courtyard to practice as she usually did, only returning to the house when she smelled the fragrance of food.
Lin Chunju originally wanted to pack something like rolled pancakes for the three, but then she changed her mind.
“Everything will be cold by the time we get there, and it won’t taste good. It’s better to eat at a restaurant in the city and try something new.”
Lin Chunju was very adaptable. When the family was poor, she could endure hardship, and now that the family was better off, she wouldn’t let her family suffer.
Yue Jiannan cheered instantly, as he had always wanted to try the restaurants in the city.
Yue Qingqing licked her lips, full of anticipation as well.
