Chapter 477 - 477 478 Sudden Attack
Chapter 477: Chapter 478: Sudden Attack Chapter 477: Chapter 478: Sudden Attack In Liupan Village.
Liu Baoguo and Li Chunmei were packing things up.
“We must bring these dried radishes, Honghong loves to eat them, and this big chunk of cured meat, they definitely can’t buy it there,” Li Chunmei was chattering about the things she planned to take for her daughter and Bai Xiao.
“Alright! Just take whatever you see, why do I feel so uneasy?” Liu Baoguo sat on the edge of the kang, smoking, feeling somewhat anxious.
“You, always a hard worker, even if you really leave, you can’t put your mind at ease about the village,” Li Chunmei said while busily packing things up.
This time, the couple had made up their minds to go to the provincial city and spend New Year’s with their daughter because the stubborn girl had said that business was best before the New Year and that it was impossible to leave during that time. Here, they were now so busy with work that it was expected to continue until New Year’s Eve, so they shockingly said they wouldn’t come back for the holiday.
Upon hearing this, both of them felt a sense of urgency.
Neither of their sons, who were in the military, would come home for the New Year either.
If their daughter also didn’t come home for the holiday, it would just be the two of them at home, quiet and cold. What kind of New Year would that be?
So, anxious and upset, they discussed for a long time and finally decided on a plan.
If their daughter is too busy to come back, fine! They are not busy, so why shouldn’t they take their stuff and go spend New Year’s with her?
Especially since Liu Hong had never left home before, and now that she had, it had been two years without seeing her except for the occasional phone call to reassure them that she was doing well there, and she sent money home every month.
Yes, it was five hundred yuan each month.
Just the sight of the postman delivering the money order to their house every month was enough to make the villagers envious. But the couple didn’t care about the money; they hadn’t seen their daughter in two years, and their main concern was whether she was doing well out there.
A girl doing business alone out there, could she be taken advantage of?
Despite seeing the money increase, the couple’s hearts were never at rest.
So, they didn’t tell Liu Hong and planned a surprise visit to see firsthand how she was doing, good or bad. They couldn’t just rely on their daughter’s words; they needed to see for themselves what she was actually doing out there.
The main reason was that they couldn’t stop worrying.
That was what led to their actions today.
“What do I have to worry about? It’s just that I can’t stop worrying about our daughter,” Liu Baoguo sighed.
Liu Hong was already twenty, and the girl was becoming wilful. Whenever they mentioned marriage over the phone, she would immediately get upset and hang up the phone without any further discussion.
The couple was indeed worried about this.
“I know, we’re about to go see our daughter, and you’ll understand whether it’s good or bad. Oh, and in the next couple of days, you should sell the pig at home quickly, otherwise, who will feed it when we’re gone? Take care of things at home,” Li Chunmei also worried about her family’s affairs, calculating that it wasn’t even the twelfth lunar month yet. From now until they went to the provincial city and returned after New Year’s, it would be more than two months.
The pigs and chickens at home, they couldn’t keep them; otherwise, by the time they returned, they would probably have starved to death.
Although her brother could help take care of them, that would still be troublesome.
Liu Baoguo nodded, “Fine, don’t worry about it, I’ve already arranged someone to buy the pigs. They’ll be taken away tomorrow. As for the remaining chickens and ducks, think of something. Sell them in town. Once we do this, we’ll be ready to go.”
What do you think?
