Chapter 33 Yufei's family moves to Longyuan Town
The little cousin looked at Yufei with bright, admiring eyes, which instantly made Yufei's vanity explode.
She suddenly understood the feeling of the domineering CEOs in the novels she read in her previous life, who would pay for whatever their little wives wanted to buy. It was so satisfying!
The three of them spun around one by one, their eyes glued to the spinning wheel.
My older cousin had average luck; he spun the spool three times and got a rabbit, a mouse, and a cookie.
Yufei, as always, had bad luck and drew three soft candies. She stared at the three candies with a bitter expression, her little face almost scrunched up, which made Yufei's grandparents laugh uncontrollably.
My younger cousin drew the last one. He stared intently at the spinning wheel, fiddling with it a little before watching it spin closely.
For some reason, Yufei felt a tense and oppressive background music suddenly flash through her mind, making her nervously stare at the spinning wheel.
As the spinning wheel slowed down, the three of them swallowed hard in unison.
"Ah~ I won! I won~ It's a dragon! It's a dragon!" Three childish voices rang out. It turned out that my little cousin had gotten the dragon zodiac sign on his first try.
The three of them were so happy when they saw it was a dragon that they huddled together and spun around.
Passersby on the roadside, seeing the three happy children, also smiled happily, reminiscing about how carefree childhood was, unlike them, these toiling working-class people, before hurrying away.
Some children were pulling at their parents, wanting them to come and play too.
My cousin Jiang Yifeng, like the other two, went through the process three times, and planted a dragon, a phoenix, and a rooster.
Yufei looked at her little cousin, who couldn't lift the sugar painting and had to ask her grandfather for help, and was speechless. He must be the darling of heaven!
Thinking about it carefully, her space only appeared because she wanted her little cousin to grow taller. Yufei secretly glanced at her little cousin again with suspicion. Could it be that she gave her space because she wanted her little cousin to grow taller?
Jealousy makes people ugly. I want to be a beautiful doll, not ugly. I'm not jealous of my cousin! Really! No! Jealousy!
Yufei silently chanted in her heart, and as she chanted, she defiantly told the sugar painting shop owner, "I want another one! I want to draw again! I refuse to believe it!"
In the end, each of the eight adults received two gummy candies, while Yufei miserably gnawed on the gummy candies in both of her hands.
She's a dog if she keeps spinning sugar paintings! The culprit, the younger cousin, innocently licks his dragon sugar painting, watching his younger cousin go crazy.
On the morning of the 9th day of the Lunar New Year, my aunt and my other aunt took their husbands and sons and took a bus back to Longyuan Town, leaving only Yufei's family behind.
Because Yufei's parents are both teachers, school doesn't start until after the Lantern Festival, so she hasn't returned to Longyuan Town to register yet.
They spent several days visiting relatives on Yufei's father's side of the family to offer New Year's greetings. Yufei showed off the remaining pile of fireworks, gaining another group of little fans.
I returned to Hongxing Village on the 15th day of the first lunar month and spent the Lantern Festival with Yufei's grandparents. We made brown sugar glutinous rice balls with brown sugar from my space, and they were incredibly delicious!
Yufei's mother and father were explaining the company's affairs to her grandparents, saying that the company was now on track and that they would come to help out on weekends. They also asked the recruitment department in Longyang County to keep an eye out for suitable candidates.
Zhu Xiangui also said he would keep an eye out for them to put the old man at ease.
At the same time, Yufei's mother brought up the matter of going to Longyuan Town to live with Yufei.
Yufei was enjoying her delicious glutinous rice balls when she heard the news. She dropped her spoon into her bowl and stared at her mother in shock.
Yufei knew that she had also arrived in Longyuan Town in her previous life, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Moreover, in her memory, her grandparents were both in Longyuan Town when she went there.
But now my grandparents haven't mentioned going to Longyuan Town together; they're staying in Hongxing Village.
Thinking of this, a wave of sadness at parting washed over Yufei, and even the fragrant glutinous rice balls lost their appeal.
With a "Wah~!", Yufei, who hadn't cried since her first birthday, broke into her second cry.
This crying was so earth-shattering that it left those who had never experienced Yufei crying before completely bewildered and panicked, frantically trying to comfort her.
"No! Yufei, don't leave Grandma and Grandpa!" Yufei threw herself onto her grandfather and clung to him tightly.
This brought tears to the eyes of this strong man, who was also extremely reluctant to part with Yufei, and the words of asking Yufei to stay were already on the tip of his tongue.
But the thought that his granddaughter needed to have friends and couldn't always stay by their side hardened his heart a little more.
In their view, Yufei didn't seem interested in making friends with the other children in the village. They thought that once she went to school in Longyuan Town, she would be able to make many friends there.
Grandpa Yufei patted Yufei's back reassuringly.
"My sweet girl~ Now that we're in Longyuan Town, you can spend every day with Mommy and Daddy. Didn't you say you missed Mommy and Daddy back then?"
"No! I don't want to be separated from you, I don't want to miss them!"
Yufei stubbornly clung to her grandfather, strongly indicating that she did not want to go to Longyuan Town.
Yufei's mother, both amused and annoyed, tapped Yufei on the head.
"What did you say, you little rascal? I'm going to be sad!"
Grandpa Yufei glared at Yufei's mother, signaling her to stop causing trouble, and then began to persuade her.
"It's alright, Xiaoyufei~ Grandpa and Grandma are also going to Longyuan Town in six months. Could you go and scout out the route for us first?"
Yufei felt that her grandfather was determined to send her to Longyuan Town. Although she didn't know why, she had heard her grandfather say that she would be there in half a year.
Since she can't change the fact that she has to go to Longyuan Town, she just needs to be sure that her grandfather will go there in six months. A six-month separation is still manageable.
So Yufei looked at her grandfather with her wet eyes and asked, "Really?"
Thankfully, what Grandpa Yufei said was true; otherwise, looking into Yufei's eyes, there would have been no way to deceive her.
Grandpa Yufei nodded affirmatively, and Yufei's crying gradually subsided, turning into sobs.
They breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yufei wasn't making a fuss anymore, she was still in low spirits. Even during the few days the three of them had been in Longyuan Town, Yufei's mood remained rather low.
Yufei's father has registered at the junior high school of Longyuan Town Middle School.
The family was assigned a 70-square-meter, three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in the school's staff dormitory by the school leaders of Longyuan Town.
Yufei's parents spent a few more days buying a very stylish set of furniture and appliances from her aunt.
Yufei's low spirits subsided somewhat, and she comforted herself, thinking that her arrival had changed many things at home.
She'll definitely make sure Grandpa Fei, who only lives to be in his fifties, lives to be a hundred! She can stay with him for a very, very long time, and that's when she felt a little better.
In their previous life, the furniture they bought after moving into the house was a very simple set bought with money borrowed from Yufei's grandfather. But now things have changed. Look at the neighbors next door, they're all asking about the furniture with envy.
"Things will definitely get better and better in this life," Yufei thought, filled with hope for the future.
