"Mom and Dad, I want to borrow some money from you?"
You want to borrow money from us during the first month?
"Why do you want to borrow money?"
Father Yun and Mother Yun knew that Second Brother Yun had opened a noodle shop, which was doing well and earning more than his previous job.
So why did he need to borrow money now?
"I plan to buy a house, and I’m worried I might not have enough money when the time comes, so I wanted to tell you in advance."
"Is there not enough room at your mother-in-law’s? If it’s too cramped, you can move back here."
The younger son, who had been laid off and started his own business, hadn’t gotten a house of his own initially.
"There’s enough room, but their elementary school isn’t very good. I want to buy a place near a better school and enroll them there."
Father Yun and Mother Yun didn’t quite know what to say.
Mother Yun was a college graduate and knew that getting into a university depended on both the teachers and the students themselves.
"School is about to start soon, you’ll need to act quickly."
Second Brother Yun was aware of this.
After separating from his parents, Second Brother Yun took a bus to the vicinity of the better school, went to the local office to inquire about the situation, and even stopped by the school to ask a security guard some questions, picking up tidbits of information.
It took him two days of running around before he finally finalized everything. He bought the house and transferred his and his three children’s household registrations there, leaving his wife and father-in-law’s unchanged for the time being.
Buying this house had not only used up all the money he had earned, but he had also had his father-in-law use up a year’s salary, and he even borrowed money from Father Yun and Mother Yun.
Work was supposed to begin on the sixth day after the New Year’s.
At noon, after learning about the school’s situation and consulting the vice principal a few times, he managed to enroll his two daughters. As soon as school started, they would be students there.
Finally, he could focus on running his business and making money.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t know about these matters. After arriving in Capital City, she returned to the Courtyard House to rest for the night.
The next day she took Da Bao and Xiao Bao to continue their studies with Elder Wu, bringing some local specialties along with another item.
"Elder Wu, happy New Year."
"Teacher, happy New Year."
"Teacher, happy New Year."
Elder Wu really did like these two young ones.
There was also Yun Xiaoxiao, who wanted to have her follow his teachings, but she politely declined knowing she was also busy. This girl had actually written a book, and the gifts she brought always touched his heart.
"This tea, I had my second brother buy from an old tea farmer. Although it’s not spring tea, the flavor is quite good. From his ancestors to his generation, they have always been roasting tea."
Elder Wu was intrigued and quickly took out a purple clay teapot to brew the tea.
An elder and a youth sipped tea and chatted about the lively New Year festivities.
Yun Xiaoxiao then steered the conversation towards medical skills.
As they talked, she soon brought up her grandma.
"You’re still beating around the bush with me, you’ve even published a book with your professor. Don’t you know her spouse is the dean?"
Yun Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "I really didn’t know, I never asked."
A professor from the English department.
She truly didn’t know.
The professor’s spouse was the dean.
"It’s understandable, you young ones don’t focus on these matters."
Since there was someone now, Yun Xiaoxiao, bracing herself, went to their door.
When Professor Ning opened the door and saw his student, he said, "Xiaoxiao, come in quickly. I was planning to look for you after school started."
"Why are you still bringing things?"
Yun Xiaoxiao stepped inside while speaking, "Professor Ning, it’s just some local specialties, special products from home.
Zhao Tianhe and his family have come to Capital City. Mrs. Zhao and Captain Zhao prepared quite a few specialties, dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots, and dried mushrooms."
