"We don't have to follow you into the city. If you become successful, just take care of yourselves. Once Shaoan becomes successful, just go to the city by yourself. Your dad and I will stay in the village, plant a few acres of land, and raise some pigs, sheep, and chickens."
good."
It was not surprising that Wang Manyin heard that the old man had thoughts about the countryside that he did not want to leave.
I am used to rural life, but I am not used to it in the city.
When they get to the city, the elderly will have nothing to do and will feel uncomfortable.
I was reluctant to leave my familiar villagers and went to the city without any familiar friends.
But the biggest reason is still because I don’t want to drag my children down.
In fact, old people don't want to live alone in the countryside.
If possible, I still hope to live with my children.
Just like now, although Sun Shaoan and Xiulian have moved out, the two children still live with their grandparents most of the time.
"Grandma, aunt, uncle!"
"Mom, sister, brother-in-law."
The first one to run over was Huzi from Shaoan's family, followed closely by Xiulian who was holding Erhu.
"Xiulian, is Shaoan not at home again today?"
"Well, Mom, Shaoan went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet."
Sun Shaoan is very mysterious now. He is running back and forth in several surrounding towns, Mijia Town, and the original Xicheng. He appears and disappears. Wherever there is a construction site, Sun Shaoan may appear.
"If Shaoan doesn't come home, Xiulian, don't bother cooking anymore, just come here to eat."
"Okay, I understand, Mom, but there is no way to know in advance whether Shaoan will come back. I still have to cook."
Lanhua's mother definitely meant well, but it's normal that Xiulian didn't want to come over for dinner.
Xiulian was afraid that if she often came to Laoyao to eat, the whole family would get mixed up and the family would not be clearly separated.
Apart from the financial relationship, Xiulian would not be able to take charge of the family if they were mixed together.
Even though both Sun Yuhou and Lanhua were gentle-tempered, their natural elder status made Xiulian unable to resist.
The living habits are very different, just like they are all the same frugality.
Xiulian's frugality means not to waste, while Sun Yuhou and his wife spend less.
For example, when it comes to eating, Xiulian is much more generous than the old couple.
In terms of meat, eggs, and other fishy foods, I have to eat them several times a week.
For the elderly couple, there is no need for this unless it is a holiday.
I am very satisfied if I can eat white flour steamed buns, and I won't ask for more.
For the three old people, Xiulian had to prepare some improved meals and send them over, or maybe Wang Manyin and his wife would bring some over when they came to Shuangshui Village.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law living separately if conditions permit.
Of course, if Sun Shaoan is willing to move to the city, Sun Yuhou and his wife will follow Shaoan to live in the city.
This can be regarded as the old couple taking refuge in Shaoan and letting Shaoan take care of her in old age. It will not affect Xiulian's decision-making. Based on Wang Manyin's understanding of Xiulian, it should not be a big problem for Xiulian and can be accepted.
Xiulian planned to invite her old father He Yaozong to live at home for a while after her family's life was better. Of course, she would not refuse to provide for Sun Yuhou and his wife in their old age.
My daughter and daughter-in-law are both here, and cooking at home will certainly not leave Lanhua’s mother busy.
The three of them started cooking together and cooked quickly without wasting time chatting.
"Xiulian, how is Shaoan's transportation business doing now? Have you not decided to give up short-distance transportation yet?"
Wang Manyin, who was in charge of lighting the fire, did not forget the main purpose of coming here today.
"This period of time is not bad. There are many people who live in cave dwellings. Shaoan can also get some work. It is not all idle. The money he earns is barely enough to pay the wages of the drivers. It can be maintained for the time being."
"What are Shaoan's thoughts now? I'm not in a hurry to use the money, but you can't keep refusing to pay back the credit union's money!"
"Well, I can't do anything about Shaoan, but at the end of this year, the money from the credit union should be paid back. I haven't been able to make any money. Let's see what Shaoan decides to do at the end of the year."
Wang Manyin had never seen Sun Shaoan like this. He owed money to the credit union, lost interest, and clung to unprofitable short-distance transportation just to provide a job for a few villagers.
The credit union lent such a large sum of money to Sun Shaoan to start his own business this time, so it was considered a loss on the loan.
More than 10,000 yuan was lent to Sun Shaoan, which only solved the livelihood of five or six villagers.
If this money is loaned to other villagers who want to start a business, 500 yuan each can make dozens of villagers rich.
"Then we'll wait until the end of the year. Xiulian, don't worry. When Shaoan decides to sell the tractor at the end of the year, just come to me and find out how much money you need to repay the bank."
"Man Yin, can't you help An An? Look at how busy An An is. Now I can't see An An even a few times a week."
Although when outsiders are around, Lanhua's mother no longer calls Shaoan by his nickname, but Huzi's father. However, when the family chats privately, Lanhua's mother is still used to calling her children Xiaoming.
An'an, Pingping, Xiangxiang are better. When listening to Lanhua's mother calling Lanhua and Huahua, Wang Manyin couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Oh my god, didn't we all agree that this time we have to let Shaoan stop the short-distance transportation business? We don't care whether it makes money or not. If there is another car accident, we can't afford it."
"Yes, Mom, just like Aunt Tian Laowai originally said, just continue to pay them according to the original salary, but now if anything happens to Tian Laowai's family, they always come to our family to provide money and help, like during spring plowing
, the old crooked mother-in-law came to our house again, crying non-stop, saying that since there was no man in the family, she could not do the work of plowing the fields, and Shaoan had to help with all the work in the fields."
After Xiulian steamed the buns, she continued: "There are also old people and children at home, and one of them has a headache and a fever. I used to be reluctant to go to the hospital for treatment. Now, I first go to our house crying and asking for money, and then... Anyway, now
If there is a big or small incident in their family, they will come to our house to cry first."
Xiulian couldn't stop talking about Tian Laowai. She seemed to have a lot of resentment, and there weren't many people in the village for Xiulian to talk to, so she was holding it back unclearly.
Wang Manyin had long felt that this company was not a fuel-efficient company. It sounded like Sun Shaoan was almost becoming the bank and servant of this company.
This also reminded Wang Manyin that safety production should still be the first priority in factories in the future.
Although there is no theory of blackmailing, there are already people who know how to do it without a teacher.
Wang Manyin: "...if Xiulian comes to visit her again, you should ask them to find Shaoan and tell them that you can't be the master."
Wang Manyin didn't know how to persuade Xiulian, so he could only advise Xiulian to let Sun Shaoan face these troubles by herself.
This kind of matter must be compensated for a certain amount of money, and it is best to solve it in one go.
However, when he met Sun Shaoan, he was unwilling to solve it all at once, so the family could be regarded as having an "iron rice bowl".
