Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Visiting Relatives Before School Starts

Actually, ever since the incident with Wang Zhaodi, she hasn’t been as stingy.

During this period, she bought new clothes for everyone in the family, everyone got a share. Of course, partly because of Pandi’s engagement.

Now Miaomiao has brought back quite a few vouchers, and there will be more every month in the future, things that couldn’t be bought before due to lack of vouchers can now be added.

Her son-in-law would occasionally bring home meat or snacks. Life is getting more and more enjoyable…

“Miaomiao and Jiabao will register for school the day after tomorrow. Every month, Miaomiao will get three yuan for pocket money, Jiabao will get two. Jiabao, Miaomiao needs to buy paper and pens for drawing, so she’ll get an extra yuan. You don’t have any objections, do you…” Liu Yulan tidied up the vouchers while planning, also considering what else the kids might need for boarding.

“No, no objections.” Wang Jiabao quickly stated, how could he have any objections? Having pocket money already made him overjoyed. He never expected his mother to be so generous.

“Glad you don’t.” Liu Yulan was pleased with her son’s understanding, “Let’s go to bed early tonight, wake up early tomorrow, tidy up, and head to J City.”

“Huh? Isn’t registration the day after tomorrow?” Wang Jiabao was puzzled.

“Yes, we’ll go visit your first and second uncles’ houses tomorrow.” Liu Yulan spoke calmly.

But this left the whole family silent, especially Wang Baoxing, who seemed a bit excited, “You want to take them to meet…”

“Yes, it’s time to meet them. Your first and second uncles are good people, but…” she paused, then said, “Your first aunt and I don’t get along, and I’m not familiar with your second aunt. If they say anything unpleasant to you, just ignore it.”

“Mom, can I… can I go too?” Wang Pandi asked nervously, she had long wanted to visit the city to see how it differs from the countryside, and why everyone seems to yearn for city life.

“Yes, we’ll all go, get acquainted with the place. As long as your first and second uncles are alive, they are relatives, and relatives should visit each other, right…” Liu Yulan smiled bitterly, a hint of relief in her eyes.

Wang Miaomiao felt a bit gloomy watching Liu Yulan at that moment, a slight sadness rising in her heart.

“Me, should I go too?” Wang Baoxing was a bit at a loss, nervously rubbing his hands.

“Yes, go.” Liu Yulan looked at the confused man before her, “You wouldn’t want to?”

“I do, I do.” Wang Baoxing quickly stated, afraid of being slow.

“Mom, I’ll drive everyone there tomorrow, so we don’t have to squeeze into the bus.” Yang Zhigang, listening to their conversation, decided after some thought.

“You’re coming too? Don’t have work?” Liu Yulan asked in surprise, she hadn’t thought about him just now.

Yang Zhigang laughed, “Can’t I go? I am your future son-in-law.”

“Of course you can go.” Liu Yulan quickly explained, “I was just worried about delaying your work.”

“No worries, I happen to need to go to J City for business these days.” Yang Zhigang laughed, “How convenient.”

“So many people, will the car fit?” Wang Miaomiao thought having a private car sure beats squeezing into a bus, but counted the number of people and had some doubts.

Yang Zhigang didn’t worry about this matter at all, “We’ll just squeeze in.”

Wang Miaomiao realized too, there weren’t strict traffic regulations like nowadays.

All family members got up early the next day, probably excited.

After breakfast, Yang Zhigang took a bicycle loaded with 300 pounds of grain to the Armed Forces Department. This grain was to be exchanged for meal tickets at school.

Originally, he didn’t plan to bring that much, but since they had a car, might as well put it to good use.

As the Wang family of five walked along carrying large and small bags, they saw a military jeep approaching from afar.

“Second sister, is that brother-in-law’s car?” Wang Jiabao exclaimed excitedly, “So cool.”

“Stop yelling.” Wang Miaomiao quickly stopped him, “That’s a government car, don’t shout and cause trouble for brother-in-law.”

“Right, right…” Liu Yulan echoed, giving Wang Jiabao a smack, “Why can’t you be more composed? Didn’t you know that trouble comes from the mouth…”

“Okay, I got it. There’s no one around here.” Wang Jiabao got smacked, but his enthusiasm didn’t dampen. Seeing the car turn around at the intersection ahead, he quickly ran over.

The car finished turning and stopped by the roadside. Yang Zhigang got out, opened the trunk, and took the things from Wang Jiabao to put in.

Meanwhile, the others arrived and loaded their stuff into the trunk, feeling much lighter.

“Get in the car. Pandi, you sit in the front passenger seat.” Liu Yulan knew that they could hitch a ride with the son-in-law this time because of their eldest daughter, so as a mother-in-law, she was socially adept.

The back seat was slightly crowded with four adults, Wang Miaomiao picked a window seat and was satisfied.

The bus from Red Star Town to J City takes two hours, and Yang Zhigang drove there in one and a half hours.

Once in the city, Yang Zhigang asked, “Mom, where are we going?”

“Let’s go to the city government compound first, since there’s an order of seniority.” Liu Yulan looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, feeling a bit disoriented.

Yang Zhigang glanced around, driving towards the destination. Once they entered the city, everyone in the car fell silent, the atmosphere noticeably less lively than during the ride. Only Wang Jiabao continued to exclaim at the scenery outside, but when no one paid attention to him, he eventually fell silent too.

At J City’s government entrance, Yang Zhigang’s car was stopped; he showed his work ID to the guard, and was allowed to enter.

At that moment, Liu Yulan appreciated having someone with authority, as she could never enter on her own before, always stopped at the gate, explaining who she wanted to meet, waiting outside for her brother to come out.

Finding a spot, he parked the car…

“I’ll go find your first uncle, wait here,” Liu Yulan got out and headed inside the building.

No one in the car said much, waiting…

Shortly after, Liu Yulan came out chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man, and everyone got out of the car waiting for them to come over.

“Come, come, let me introduce you, this is your first uncle, say hello…” Liu Yulan’s face was all smiles, she seemed very happy.

Wang Miaomiao and the others politely greeted him.

“Good, good…” Liu Yufeng was delighted today, he hadn’t expected his hesitant sister to bring all the kids to meet him, including that rural man who deceived her when he wasn’t around!

“Big brother…” Wang Baoxing nervously rubbed his hands.

“Hmm…” Liu Yufeng’s expression was indifferent, completely unlike his enthusiasm towards Wang Miaomiao and the others.
