Chapter 441: Gathering in Beijing
Chapter 441: Gathering in Beijing
When Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng called Liu Ying in the village, they had to call the captain's uncle's house. This time it was Aunt Song Yun who answered the phone.
"Aunt, I'm Zhensheng. Is the captain at home?"
When Aunt Song Yun heard it was Shen Zhensheng, she responded enthusiastically, "Yes, the old man is in the yard. I'll go call him."
Aunt Song Yun hurriedly went out to call Shen Yongfu, and Shen Yongfu then came into the house to answer the phone.
"Zhensheng, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Shen Zhensheng first asked about Shen Yongfu's health. After the greetings, he asked Shen Yongfu to tell Shen Laoer that the couple should call each other when they have time.
Half an hour later, Liu Ying and Shen Laoer called back. Shen's father, mother and Shen Zhensheng were waiting for their call.
"Second son's wife, it's me," Shen's mother was the first to answer the phone.
"Mom, how are you and Dad?" Liu Ying would always first ask about the health of Shen's father and mother every time she called.
"We are fine. You and the second brother should clean up the house and leave the household affairs to your captain uncle and your aunt Song. You two can bring the children to Beijing," Shen's mother was happy when she talked about this.
Although Liu Ying was happy when she heard the news, her first reaction was whether their family going to Beijing would cause trouble for Xiao Baoer and the others.
Especially since the third and fifth sons' families are now taking care of their parents, it would be unreasonable if their entire family went to Beijing and caused trouble for them.
"Mom, we are fine at home. We won't cause trouble for my third and fifth brothers. You and Dad can come back if you miss home," Liu Ying said.
When Shen's mother heard her words, she knew that the second son's wife had misunderstood and was afraid that their whole family would cause trouble for the third and fifth sons, so that's why she didn't come.
"Second brother's wife, you misunderstood. It was the third brother and his wife, Leopard, and the fifth brother who opened a lot of stores in Beijing. It was the third brother's wife who asked you all to develop in Beijing. She also felt that it would be more reassuring for her family to use the products," Shen's mother explained simply.
"Mom, you didn't lie to us, did you? Does my third sister-in-law really need our help?"
"Wait a minute, I'll ask your third sister-in-law to come over and talk to you," said Shen's mother, and then she handed the phone to Xiao Baoer.
"Second sister-in-law, what mother said is true. I really need help from our family here. You can discuss it with second brother. If you have nothing else, bring the child here."
Liu Ying felt relieved after hearing what Xiao Baoer said. "What are you discussing? As long as you need our help, we will pack up and go."
Xiao Baoer also instructed, "Okay, second sister-in-law, it's not convenient for you and second brother to take the train with several children. You only need to bring clothes, or send the things you need over. The most important thing is to take good care of the children."
"Okay, we got it. You can put your parents at ease."
Liu Ying also asked Shen Laoer to talk to Shen's father and mother. Now that Shen Laoer's family is also coming to Beijing, the family can be reunited again. Shen's father and mother are happier than anything else.
Xiao's father and mother have already called their sons and daughters-in-law, and they will be coming to Beijing soon. The eldest son Xiao needs to take care of his work first, and everyone else needs to properly arrange their family affairs.
Half a month later, Shen Laoer and Liu Ying brought several children to Beijing. Shen Zhensheng, Shen Zhenjiang and Zhou Bao found a car to pick them up.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, mother, Baoer and everyone else have prepared delicious food for you at home. Dad said that he would host a welcome party for you," Shen Zhensheng said while driving.
"This is really too much trouble for my sister-in-law, Xiuxiu and mother. We can just have a simple meal," Liu Ying said a little embarrassedly.
"It's not a big deal. After Dabao's uncles arrived yesterday, we had a meal together as a family. We even had a welcoming banquet. This is a new beginning for us."
This was the first time for Shen Laoer's family to take a train. Along the way, the children were very excited and kept telling their parents that this was the feeling of taking a train that Dabao and the others had described.
Looking at their children, Liu Ying and Shen Laoer became more determined to seize this opportunity, work hard in Beijing, strive to settle down in Beijing, and let their children receive a better education.
After a few people got off the car, they began to look around. This house is so beautiful.
"Mom, this place is so beautiful, even more beautiful than my third uncle's house in the village," Xiao He said to Liu Ying.
"Little brat, this is also your third uncle's home. Come in quickly. Your third aunt and your brothers and sisters are waiting for you at home," Shen Zhensheng touched Xiaohe's head randomly and told them to hurry into the house.
Several children heard the noise at the door and ran out. Manman shouted as he ran, "Dad, are my sister and brother here?"
Only then did Liu Ying see Tuan Tuan and Man Man who ran out first. After not seeing them for more than half a year, the two children had changed their appearance. It was true that when you were not around the children for a while, you felt that they had grown up so fast when you met them again.
"Tuantuan, Manman, do you still recognize me?" Liu Ying squatted down and touched the hands of the two little ones.
"Yes, second aunt, we missed you so much," Manman said sweetly and even held Liu Ying's hand.
"You are so good. Your aunt misses you too," Liu Ying hugged the two children before putting them down to get things from the car.
Everyone in the house came out, and soon the door was full of people.
"Second sister-in-law, mother has been mumbling since this morning that you will be here soon and has been thinking about you all day long," Jiang Yuqing and Liu Ying have always had a good relationship. She likes Liu Ying's character of not being competitive but being down-to-earth and hardworking.
"You girl, you only know how to make fun of your mother. Only your mother is anxious, but who among you is not as anxious as your mother?" Shen's mother scolded Jiang Yuqing with a smile.
"Auntie, are you feeling well?" Liu Ying greeted Xiao's mother when she saw her.
"Okay, okay, let's go home and talk. With you here, our family is reunited," Xiao's mother held Liu Ying's hand warmly as she walked into the house.
There were so many people in the house that even the big yard of Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng seemed a little crowded.
It was really lively during mealtime. One small table alone was not enough for all the children, so Xiao Baoer asked Zhou Bao and Shen Zhensheng to prepare a large table for the children.
Xiao Baoer and Jiang Yuqing even made some special food for the children, and the children ate it till they became like little cats.
After dinner, the whole family sat together and chatted. It was already late. Shen's mother had already told the second wife about arranging accommodation for them. Just like the Xiao brothers, they would pay rent to Xiao Baoer and his wife every month.
After Shen's mother finished speaking, Liu Ying and Shen Laoer relaxed a little. As long as they didn't owe the third brother and his wife too much, they would have to pay the rent.
Xiao Baoer also discussed with Shen Zhensheng and decided to ask her brother and sister-in-law for their opinions once all the stores were on track. If they wanted to buy a small house in Beijing, the couple would be willing to lend them some money if they didn't have enough.
This money is not given to them for free, it is a loan. They can pay it back when they have enough money, or in monthly installments. Only when they have settled down in Beijing can they feel at ease.
Xiao Baoer now owns so many houses that the couple almost forgot which house belongs to them.
These houses are the wealth that Xiao Baoer saved for her children early on. Now the family fortune that she and Shen Zhensheng have earned for their children is enough for them to live a life of ease and happiness.
"Wife, Dabao and Erbao told me today that they want to live on campus during high school. What do you think?"
Dabao and Erbao are going to be promoted to the first grade of high school at the beginning of the school term. However, these two children have never left home except for going to school in all these years. Xiao Baoer is really worried about them living in the school dormitory.
