Chapter 41 Guan Lu and Yu Yang go home for the New Year
"Sisters, have you all bought your tickets to go home?" Yuqing asked in the "Four Sisters of Beidiao" group.
"Yu Yang has already bought our tickets and we will leave in a few days." Guan Lu replied.
"I can't go back for the Chinese New Year this year. The company is preparing to launch spring clothes, and I have to work overtime to catch up, otherwise it will affect the company's progress in launching new products," Siyi replied.
"Then how deserted are your parents during the Chinese New Year? They are the only daughter." Yuqing replied.
"I plan to take my parents to Beijing to celebrate the New Year." Siyi replied.
"This is good, even if the family is celebrating the New Year in Beijing." Yuqing replied.
"Will Beijing be very lively during the Chinese New Year? Siyi, remember to post more photos in the group during the Chinese New Year." Guan Lu@Siyi.
"No problem! Not only will there be photos, but there will also be a summary and experience of the New Year in Beijing." Siyi replied.
"Where's Xiaoju? Have you bought a ticket?" Yuqing asked.
"I guess you're taking clients to see the house again now, right?" Siyi guessed when she saw that Xiaoju didn't reply.
"I heard from Li Hang that he and Xiao Ju haven't bought tickets yet!" Siyi continued to reply.
"Oh, then tell them not to buy tickets. I have a fellow villager who wants to drive back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, and he wants to take a few of us with him on the way." Yu Qing replied.
"That's great! What a good fellow. Jiangnan City is so far away from Beijing, so you have to spend a lot of money on gas, right?" Guan Lu replied enviously.
"Fellow? Yuqing, it's not the Mr. Meng we met at the last annual meeting, is it?" Siyi joked slyly.
"What's going on? I didn't attend your company's annual meeting because I was on duty. Is there something new happening in Yuqing?" Guan Lu asked doubtfully.
"I'm just a fellow countryman, a new friend I just met. Don't talk nonsense, you two." Yuqing explained quickly.
"A new friend you just met is so kind to you?" Guan Lu's tone was full of disbelief.
"That's right, we are now preparing to win over Yu Qing's friends and attack in a curve." Siyi continued to tease Yu Qing.
"Ignore you two, I'm so annoying." Yu Qing pretended to be angry.
"Okay, okay! I'm not kidding you anymore, then I'll tell Li Hang and Xiao Ju to stop worrying about the tickets," Siyi replied.
"I heard from Yu Yang that Xiao Ju is very motivated at work now and has sold two houses this month." Guan Lu said in the group.
"Xiao Ju is great!" Yu Qing was sincerely happy for Xiao Ju.
After the chat ended, Siyi quickly told Li Hang the good news, and asked Li Hang to tell Xiao Ju that she had settled down to go back to her hometown for the New Year.
After receiving affirmative answers from Li Hang and Xiaoju, Yuqing called Meng Chenyu and told her that a total of three people including her would take his car back to their hometown, and then the two made an appointment to set off.
On the other hand, Guan Lu and Yu Yang took the train back to Jiangnan City together. After saying goodbye reluctantly, they went back to their respective homes.
"Mom, I'm back!" As soon as Yu Yang entered the house with his luggage, Yu Yang's mother greeted him.
"Son, you are back! Mom misses you so much!" Yu Yang's mother looked left and right, holding Yu Yang's arms with both hands, "Son, you have lost weight again!" As she said this, she began to wipe her tears.
"It's Chinese New Year, Yangyang has just come back, why are you crying here?" Yu Yang's father quickly took Yang Yang's luggage and persuaded Yu Yang's mother while walking into the house.
"You silly old man, didn't you see that I was happy to see my son?" Yu Yang's mother choked at Yu Yang's father while wiping her tears.
"Okay, Mom, I'm back now!" Yu Yang said as he led his mother into the back room.
"Son, hurry up and eat, I just made it." Yu Yang's mother said as she brought the rice to Yu Yang.
"Your mother heard that you were back and prepared your favorite dishes a long time ago." Yu Yang's father rushed to speak in front of him.
"Here, son, your favorite braised prawns." Yu Yang's mother said as she put the prawns into Yu Yang's bowl.
"Okay, Mom, you should hurry up and eat." Yu Yang turned to greet his dad who was standing there cheerfully, "Dad, sit down and eat together, don't just stand!"
"Okay! Okay!" When Yu Yang's father saw Yu Yang coming back, he kept looking at Yu Yang, as if he couldn't get enough of it. When he heard Yu Yang greeting him, he quickly sat down next to Yu Yang.
"Son, do you plan to go to Beijing this time when you come back?" Yu Yang's father asked.
"Dad, I have now found a job as a real estate agency. As long as I am willing to endure hardships and work hard, I can earn a lot of money. I plan to work hard for another year. When I save enough of the 10 yuan gift money, I will work with Lulu got married in her hometown and will not go to Beijing." Yu Yang said while eating.
"Okay, mom supports you. After you and Lulu get married, you can find a job in your hometown. It's close to home. Your dad and I can see you from time to time. You said you are in Beijing now, so far away from home. It's not easy to see her more than once." When Yu Yang's mother said this, she secretly wiped her tears again.
"Yangyang's mother, why are you crying again while talking! Didn't Yangyang say that he would go back to his hometown after making enough money for another year." Yu Yang's father comforted Yu Yang's mother.
"Have you discussed it with Lulu?" Yu Yang's mother asked.
After hearing this, Yu Yang lowered his head and said slowly: "Not yet."
"Son, this is a big deal, you still have to discuss it with Lulu." Yu Yang's father reminded Yu Yang.
"I know, Dad." After Yu Yang said that, he quickly took a few big mouthfuls of rice.
"You kid, don't just eat. Come on! Eat more food." Yu Yang's mother said as she put a peeled prawn into Yu Yang's bowl.
After dinner and a chat with his parents, Yu Yang returned to his room.After a long journey, sleepiness hit him. He hurriedly got into the cold quilt and said unconsciously: "The winter in my hometown is really cold. I am used to having heating in the house in Beijing in winter, but it was a bit uncomfortable when I first came back. adapt."
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Guan Lu; what was she doing?Will she not adapt to the cold winter in her hometown?When he was in Beijing, he mentioned to Guan Lu several times the idea of ​​returning to his hometown for development, but Guan Lu resolutely refused each time. This time he would look for an opportunity to discuss with her and even her family when he returned to his hometown to see if there was any possibility of change. ?
He couldn't help but remember that he had also rushed to Beijing alone with enthusiasm, determined to build a world in Beijing with his own hands, settle down in Beijing, marry Guan Lu in Beijing, and even bring his parents back in the future. He has thought about living with himself in Beijing.But a few years later, with ups and downs, great joys and sorrows, it was like having a dream. After waking up, he was back to the starting point. He began to slowly accept the reality. He realized that he was just an ordinary person, even those who studied in prestigious schools in Beijing. The proud son of God may not be able to take root in Beijing as he wishes in the end, let alone himself?Now I can't even afford a bride price of 10 yuan, let alone buy a house in Beijing or even a provincial capital.After gaining experience and gaining knowledge in Beijing, it seemed like a pragmatic choice for her to go back to her hometown for development. However, it seemed that Lulu had adapted to life in Beijing. Although her income was not high, her job had always been relatively stable. It was no wonder that she did not return to her hometown for development. Intend.Thinking of this, Yu Yang sighed.
At this moment, Yu Yang's father pushed open the door and walked in, saying in a consultative tone: "Yang Yang, you and Lulu have been together for so many years, and your relationship has always been very stable. Your parents also want you two to get married soon, but After all, 10 yuan is not a small amount, and you can’t earn it alone. Your mother and I have collected 5 yuan for you, and I’m afraid you have to figure out a way for the remaining [-] yuan.”
"Dad, you don't have to worry about money for now. I will figure it out myself. It's just that I can't get over it. You are all so old and you still have to worry about me." Yu Yang sat up from the bed. , lowered his head, his heart full of guilt.
"If you two get married as soon as possible, your parents will be relieved." Yu Yang's father patted Yu Yang's shoulder, turned around, sighed, and left the room.
Besides, after Guan Lu returned home, she happily shared anecdotes about Beijing with her parents.
Guan Lu's mother quietly listened to her daughter's vivid narration, adding a few words from time to time, her eyes full of love and distress. This girl must have endured a lot of hardships outside, notwithstanding how happy she was.
After Guan Lu's father listened to Guan Lu's story, he asked tentatively: "Lulu, how is your relationship with Yu Yang now? How is his preparation for the 10 yuan?"
"Yu Yang is working very hard now, and he also wants to marry me home soon. But he wants to go back to his hometown after getting married, and I want to stay in Beijing. Beijing is so nice." Guan Lu said.
"I agree with you coming back. Beijing is so far away and you have no one to rely on. Wouldn't it be good to develop in your hometown?" Guan Lu's father agreed with Yu Yang's point of view.
"What's great, where will they live after getting married? Just live in their hometown in the countryside? I will never agree." Guan Lu's mother objected.
"What you said, do you think you will have a place to live if you stay in Beijing after getting married?" Guan Lu's father asked Guan Lu's mother.
"When you two fell in love, I didn't agree with it. With my daughter's conditions, you can obviously find a better young man, but you just like Yu Yang, a poor boy. There is nothing wrong with you except his character. It doesn't matter what you want. A house No, right? You can't even raise 10 yuan, so don't delay our daughter." Guan Lu's mother sat on the bed and complained.
"Mom——" Guan Lu held her mother's hand and pouted, wanting to comfort her but not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Yu Yang sent a message: "Lulu, my parents and I have discussed that if you give me another year, when my family has saved enough 10 yuan, we will get married in my hometown without returning to Beijing. Well, you said life in Beijing is so stressful, how wonderful would it be to develop in your hometown! Isn’t that right?”
Guan Lu, who was feeling depressed, replied angrily: "What's good? It was you who coaxed me to go to Beijing, and now it's you who insists on leaving. Have you considered my feelings?"
Seeing Guan Lu's message back, Yu Yang didn't know how to reply, so he had to put away his phone silently.
After Guan Lu sent the message, she called sleepy and returned to her room.She stared blankly out of the window, upset by what her mother had just said and the message Yu Yang had sent.There is no doubt that Yu Yang truly loves herself, but the reality of society forces her to make further plans for her future.
