Chapter 360: Going Together
In this family, the ones Song Chu trusts the most are her eldest brother and third brother.
Seeing her third brother’s appearance, she knew he was well-prepared. “Yes, you must get into a university in Kyoto, otherwise you’ll be the only one left in Nan Province.”
Song Lao San nodded firmly. “Don’t worry, I will definitely do it.”
Then he felt there was more to her words. “Little Sister, what do you mean by ‘otherwise you’ll be the only one left in Nan Province’? Don’t tell me you’re planning to take Mom and Dad to Kyoto?”
Song Chu nodded with a smile. “That’s right. Second Brother and Fourth Brother already have their own careers in Kyoto.”
“So I’m planning to bring Mom and Dad to Kyoto as well, along with Eldest Brother and Second Sister-in-Law.”
Song Lao Da and Song’s Second Sister-in-Law didn’t expect to be included, and both showed surprised expressions.
“Little Sister, you’re taking me to Kyoto too?” Song Lao Da asked, somewhat in disbelief.
He had been feeling down earlier, thinking that everyone in the family would go to Kyoto, leaving him alone and lonely.
Song Chu smiled. “Of course. Everyone else in the family is going. How could we possibly leave you behind? You’re our eldest brother. We wouldn’t leave anyone behind, especially not you!”
Song Lao Da’s honest face showed a mix of emotion and bewilderment. “Little Sister, I knew you were the best to me. But I only know how to farm and raise pigs. I don’t know anything else. I’ll be a burden to you if I go to Kyoto. I’d better not go. I’ll stay and take care of the home.”
Although he really wanted to be with his family, he was more afraid of being a burden to his little sister. After all, he wasn’t alone; he had two children.
Song Chu realized that her eldest brother was overly honest, but he was also the most devoted to the family.
“Who says you’ll be a burden? I actually need you to farm,” she said.
Song Lao Da looked at her, puzzled. “Need me to farm?”
Song Chu explained, “I contracted a piece of mountain land. When you go to Kyoto, I’ll leave it to you. You’ll have to manage it well for me. I’ll use it to grow the seeds, fruits, and plants I’m researching.”
“I don’t trust outsiders, so I need you to help me, Eldest Brother. I need you.” Only by saying this could she make her eldest brother feel like he wasn’t a burden.
And what she said was true. The contracted mountain land would be her experimental field, and she could only trust her eldest brother to manage it.
Song Lao Da hadn’t expected his little sister to need him so much. His face lit up with the excitement of being needed and trusted. “Little Sister, I can’t guarantee anything else, but when it comes to farming, I can definitely help you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll manage it well.” He had heard his little sister say she was going to study at some agricultural university and research crops and plants, so she wasn’t just saying this to comfort him. He felt reassured.
Song Chu smiled and nodded. “Of course, I trust you.”
After they finished talking, Song’s Second Sister-in-Law looked at Song Chu and asked, “Chu Chu, can San Niu and I go to Kyoto too?”
“Why not? And this time, it was Second Brother who suggested that I take you with me.”
Song Chu smiled and continued, “He said he’s staying in Kyoto to work hard so that you and San Niu can have a good life.”
“He’s going to open a restaurant in Kyoto, and you can help him a lot.” This way, Song’s Second Sister-in-Law wouldn’t feel burdened.
Song’s Second Sister-in-Law clearly hadn’t expected her man to have such high aspirations, to actually think of them.
But in recent days, he had indeed changed a lot.
Of course, all of this was thanks to Little Sister. Otherwise, her man would definitely still be the same heartless person he used to be.
“Okay, I’ll go.” She was still yearning for Kyoto, and she wasn’t doing it for herself, but to create a better life for her daughter.
Song Lao Da and Song’s Second Sister-in-Law were settled. Tang Feng and Song Youfu also came to their senses.
“Yaobao, your dad and I are going too?” Tang Feng naturally didn’t want to be separated from her daughter.
โโโ
Song Chu nodded. “Our family should always be together. You two are the pillars of our family, so of course, you have to go.”
Tang Feng was overjoyed. “That’s right, I need to go and steer the ship for you all.”
She hadn’t considered the possibility of being a burden to her daughter. She had an inexplicably deep confidence in her Yaobao.
Her Yaobao was the most capable. If she was asking them to go to Kyoto, there wouldn’t be any problems.
These days, although she had a fulfilling life at the clothing factory, she could only see her daughter once in a long while. She missed her terribly and wanted to stay by her side.
She had been thinking that once she saved up enough money, she would go to Kyoto to find her daughter.
But her Yaobao was the most filial. Before she could even say anything, she was already planning to take them to Kyoto.
Song Youfu was also very happy, but he was also a little nervous. “Yaobao, your eldest brother and the others can help you when they go, but what can your mom and I do? Will we be a bother to you?”
Before Song Chu could speak, Tang Feng wouldn’t have it.
She pinched his arm hard. “I’m going to take care of Yaobao. You’re the one who’ll be a bother.”
Was this old man unable to speak properly? How could they be a bother? They were going so they wouldn’t be separated from their daughter.
Song Youfu: “……” His arm hurt. This old lady had gone to the city, but she was still a tigress.
He was just asking out of concern. Did she have to do that to him? The key was that he didn’t dare to resist…
Song Chu looked at her dad, still being bullied and not daring to resist, and felt a sense of familiarity. She smiled and said, “Who says you have nothing to do? I’ve already thought it out for you.”
“Mom can open a clothing studio, specializing in designing and making clothes for people. With her skills, business will definitely be good.”
“Dad, you can either help Eldest Brother manage the mountain land or open a furniture store. You can sell the furniture you make in the store. I’ll help you with the designs in the beginning, and later we can find some people to specialize in design. I guarantee business will be good.”
After her parents started working, they seemed to have found a new lease on life. They were full of energy, so they definitely wouldn’t want to stay idle. They needed to have their own careers.
If they were to start a clothing or furniture factory right away, they would probably be intimidated and unable to let go. They also lacked management experience.
It would be better to take the first step, and then gradually expand. With more exposure and experience, they would naturally dare to venture out and grow bigger and stronger.
Tang Feng and Song Youfu hadn’t expected their daughter to have arranged careers for them. They were actually a little reluctant to leave their jobs in the county town.
“That’s great. I’ll design and make clothes for people in Kyoto. When the villagers find out, they’ll be so envious of me,” Tang Feng said with a chuckle.
She was still very confident in her design and tailoring skills.
Song Youfu also said with surprise, “Let Lao Da manage the mountain land. I prefer making furniture, so I’ll open a furniture store.”
“I never thought I’d be making furniture for people in Kyoto. The ancestors will definitely be happy if they know,” he said excitedly.
Their old Song family’s ancestral graves must really be smoking. They were getting better and better.
Song Chu and the others: “……” What did this have to do with the ancestors? But as long as their dad was happy.
