Chapter 174 - 174

Chapter 174 Taking Mom to Capital City"Little sister, is this really profitable?" Yun Zhaodidn't care about being respectable or not. He strongly agreed with what his little sister said: live your own life and don't worry about others."Definitely. You must know from your time atSteel Plant how much waste a factory generates every month. Buying it at low prices and then reselling it makes an exceptionally high profit. And what about those factories' cardboard and the like? Cooperating with factories and collecting them regularly—do you think you can make money from that?""Okay, I'll do it.""Oh dear, why did you have to go and collect junk?" Mother Yun was extremely anxious. This daughter was unreliable and was even leading her son astray.Actually, it's normal for Mother Yun to have this kind of thinking. No matter the era, people call recycling "collecting junk," which has a bad reputation. But even in later generations, junk collectors can buy houses, which shows how profitable it is. What's more, at this time, people don't know the profits involved."Just leave it alone. The kids have their own ideas, which is fine. Besides, if you don't go out and tell everyone, how will anyone know you're a junk collector?"Father Yun was quite open-minded, mainly because he had a soft spot for his little daughter. In his eyes, she was smart, and he believed whatever she said."Alright, I can't argue with you guys, so do as you please!"Liang Dan remained silent.Yun Zhao glanced at her and hesitated before asking, "Wife, do you disagree?"Liang Dan snapped out of his daze. "Huh? No...no, I said, do whatever you want!"She was actually thinking about what would happen to her parents if they went to Capital City. She was their only daughter, and she couldn't just leave them behind.However, she didn't say much in front of her parents-in-law and sister-in-law.Seeing her mother Yun's huff, Yun Ting chuckled and went to coax her, "Mom, since you're retired now, why don't you come with me to Capital City for a while, and then come back when your sister-in-law is about to give birth?""What could I have done in the past? I would have troubled you all, you are all so busy."Actually, she also wanted to go. It's the capital! Who wouldn't want to go? Besides, she also wanted to see her daughter attending school."No problem, it's settled then. We'll go a few days early, and I'll show you around.""Your daughter is so filial, so don't disappoint her. I'd like to go myself, sigh…" Father Yun'stone was a little sarcastic, which made everyone laugh."Yes, Mom! You can go and have some fun without worry. You've worked hard your whole life. Don't worry about me. I'm not going to give birth anytime soon!"Mother Yun, who was already somewhat interested, decided to go to Capital City with her daughter after her family suggested it."By the way, Mom, how's Tiezhu? Does he come to our house often? Oh, and Older Female Cousin asked me to bring him some money back. Here, this is twenty yuan she gave you.""Yes, I told him to come over for a meal occasionally during his holidays. This childalways brings something with him. I told him not to, but he wouldn't listen. And you, Older Female Cousin, it's not easy for you to earn money. You don't even know how to save it for yourself. Why do you need her to give it to me?"Although Mother Yun said this, she was actually happy. It wasn't that she was greedy for the money, but that her niece knew how to be grateful and filial to her." Older Female Cousin is doing very well over there. She works very diligently and never forgets to read and study. She manages the shop's accounts very well now. With her help, I don't have to worry about anything. She is a grateful person.""This girl, we should thank you, otherwise I don't know what her life would be like now! I just hope she can meet someone who loves her and start a family," Mother Yun sighed.She never imagined that her little daughter could be so capable."When the time is right, you'll meet the right person. Don't worry about it."Their school starts on September 1st, and Yun Ting took her mother by train to Capital City ten days in advance.This was Mother Yun's first time riding a train! She was incredibly curious and kept looking around the whole way."Mom, stay close to me." Yun Ting was afraid that she would get lost while looking around, so she quickly pulled her along."Hey, I'm not a little child anymore."However, she still let her little daughter lead the way.Yun Ting bought two sleeper tickets, but not soft sleeper tickets; soft sleeper tickets are hard to buy these days.Because her mother was with her, Yun Tingcouldn't just take food from the space; she had to prepare it in advance and carry it with her.It was hot, so we couldn't keep things for long. We only made some pancakes. Yun Ting also brought a few apples and some cucumbers."Mom, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?""Mom isn't hungry."She was so engrossed in looking at the scenery outside the window that she didn't even notice what she was eating."Mom, even if you're not hungry, why don't you take a rest? Aren't you tired?""I'm not tired, you can go to sleep.""Oh~ Is this your first time traveling so far, ma'am? Is this your daughter? She's so filial." A woman in the upper berth of the carriage asked with a smile."Oh! Yes, my little daughter is a teacher inCapital City. Now that I've retired, she insisted on taking me to see Capital City."Mother Yun's tone revealed an undisguised pride.Yun Ting just wants to say one thing: Mom, this is blatant showing off of your daughter."Wow! A young lady who's a teacher? No wonder she looks so scholarly. Which school does she teach at? Middle school or elementary school?"The woman was also very curious, but Yun Tingsaw that she meant no harm, so she let her mother chat with her." Little sister, you've guessed wrong. My daughter is from Peking University. She graduated early and stayed on as a foreign language teacher!"" Peking University? Wow! That's really impressive." The woman exclaimed sincerely."You flatter me, Auntie," Yun Ting said modestly."Oh, I'm so envious. My daughter isn't so easy to manage. I try to get her to study hard, but she just can't. Now, she finally has the chance to take the college entrance exam, but she can't get in and insists on going to work."" Little Sister, studying is not the only way out.As long as the children are healthy, safe, and have good jobs, that's enough. They will have their own ideas when they grow up. We just need to respect them, care for them, and prevent them from going astray.""Big sister, I understand all of this, but I'm just worried that she won't be doing well!""That's right, being a parent means worrying about things your whole life.""Mom, are you saying we're all here to collect debts?" Yun Ting said, feigning grievance."Haha...you silly girl, I didn't say that."" Little sister, where are you going?""I'm going to Suzhou because my son works there, and my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I'm going there to help her during her postpartum period!""Wow! Congratulations in advance on the arrival of a new member to your family.""Thanks…"The two chatted all the way, finding themselves getting along very well.During the conversation, I learned that the woman's name was Chang Lanying. After we got to know each other, we started calling her by her name.Aside from sleeping, the two of them really talked non-stop, mostly about their children and other interesting and interesting things happening around them.The journey wasn't boring at all. Sometimes Yun Ting would read a book and occasionally overhear them chatting about interesting gossip. She would listen intently, finding it quite amusing.Until they arrived at Suzhou Station, when Chang Lanying had to get off the train, Mother Yun was very reluctant to part with her.The two even exchanged addresses and agreed to correspond with each other!
