Chapter 477: Chapter 478: Sudden Attack Chapter 477: Chapter 478: Sudden Attack In Liupan Village.
Liu Baoguo and Li Chuni were packing things up.
“We must bring these dried radishes, Honghong loves to eat them, and this big chunk of cured at, they definitely can’t buy it there,” Li Chuni 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 sowhat anxious.
“You, always a hard worker, even if you really leave, you can’t put your mind at ease about the village,” Li Chuni said while busily packing things up.
This ti, 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 ti. 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 co 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 co ho for the New Year either.
If their daughter also didn’t co ho for the holiday, it would just be the two of them at ho, quiet and cold. What kind of New Year would that be?
So, anxious and upset, they discussed for a long ti and finally decided on a plan.
If their daughter is too busy to co 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 ho 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 ho 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 ntioned marriage over the phone, she would imdiately 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 ho quickly, otherwise, who will feed it when we’re gone? Take care of things at ho,” Li Chuni 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 ho, they couldn’t keep them; otherwise, by the ti they returned, they would probably have starved to death.
Although her brother could help take care of them, that would still be troubleso.
Liu Baoguo nodded, “Fine, don’t worry about it, I’ve already arranged soone to buy the pigs. They’ll be taken away tomorrow. As for the remaining chickens and ducks, think of sothing. Sell them in town. Once we do this, we’ll be ready to go.”
