Chapter 494: My adopted sister returned to her hometown to farm (9)
I have been away from the Song family for some time.
During this period of time, Yao Sisi's longing for home began to grow stronger.
Even though she felt depressed at home, her parents' care for her made her feel warm.
No matter what, her adoptive parents always did their best to raise her and support her through college.
The grace of raising us is as heavy as Mount Tai.
Now, hearing her adoptive mother say on the phone that she missed her, Yao Sisi's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
She said to Fang Jing on the other end of the phone, "Just in the next few days! Let's see when I can buy tickets. Once the specific date for buying tickets is confirmed, I will tell my family immediately."
Hearing this, Fang Jing instantly smiled and quickly responded: "Yeah! That's great!"
Then, she gently nudged Song Tao beside her and said excitedly, "Old Song, when Sisi comes back, you have to go pick up our daughter!"
Song Tao, who was assigned a task by his wife, nodded without hesitation and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes! Dad will definitely drive himself to pick up my precious daughter Sisi and take her home. Dad will miss my little girl so much!"
In this way, the family of three chatted lively about family matters for a while, and Yao Sisi hung up the phone reluctantly.
Today, Yao Sisi did not go to the construction site, but chose to wander around this not-so-prosperous city.
Although the town's traffic is far less than those of big cities, in recent years, due to the booming tourism industry, this originally unknown small town has gradually undergone many changes.
Perhaps it is because of aspiring young people like Xiao Lang who are willing to give up job opportunities in big cities and devote themselves to the construction of their hometown that this small town can radiate such new vitality.
As she walked, Yao Sisi came to a store that specialized in selling local snacks.
The store is not very big, but there are many people buying snacks.
The shop owners are an old couple.
While selling food, he chatted with old customers.
"Uncle Long, why didn't I see you open yesterday?" An old customer scooped up a bowl of soup with a spoon, and then added a little sugar instead of adding sugar or seasoning.
The boss glanced at the other person and said with some disdain: "What kind of way of eating is this? You learned it from your son again."
"Yes!" The man nodded and said, "I stayed at my son's place for a few days some time ago. People there like to eat this way. I didn't like it at first, but after eating it more often, I got used to it."
"That's a habit!" Aunt Long interrupted, "We were supposed to take a day off yesterday, thinking that the New Year was coming soon and the children wouldn't be able to come back, so we bought tickets to go see them, but..."
When she was about to continue, Uncle Long coughed and interrupted his wife: "Why are you going? The New Year is coming soon. The river water level will rise by three points during the New Year. It's a good time to make money. You have to go see your son. You should spend the New Year honestly first."
After hearing this, the customer didn't say anything else. After all, everyone is the same these days.
The place is too small. If you want to climb up, you have to go out.
Everything is good when you are with your parents, but everything is difficult when you are outside.
Visit my hometown, go to college, stay in a big city, and have a house, a wife, and children.
But the pressure of mortgage and car loans, and the fear of unemployment, are making people feel suffocated.
In the final analysis, it just proves the saying that the pillar of the family in the eyes of parents may be a steel wool in the hands of others.
It's not easy for anyone.
Uncle Long glanced at the people coming and going, and said to his wife beside him: "It would be great if our place was also a big city, so that our son could find a good job when he comes back."
"Don't think about it, sell snacks quickly, we can work more and our son can work less." Aunt Long pushed her husband and said, "You are right, let's make more money while the New Year is coming!"
After listening to this, Yao Sisi couldn't help but miss her parents even more. After eating and paying the bill, she went straight to the bus station to take the fastest bus home.
Anyway, the work here is almost done, and the interior decoration will not start until after the Chinese New Year.
And Xiao Lang would help her keep an eye on it, so she was completely relieved.
It seemed that without realizing it, Yao Sisi trusted Xiao Lang more and more.
But I was impulsive after all, and the tickets that I didn’t buy on the mobile app are not easy to buy now.
Yao Sisi, who failed to buy a ticket, had to buy a ticket to go home five days later after much hesitation, and she still had to take a long green train ride.
Yao Sisi no longer had the mood to wander around, so she went home with her head hung.
In the evening, Xiao Lang brought the buns made by his mother Xu Lian to Yao Sisi, but when she opened the door, he found that she was obviously unhappy.
"Sisi, what's wrong?" Xiao Lang asked directly without any ambiguity, "Is there something difficult? Tell me, maybe I can help!"
Yao Sisi told him about buying tickets today: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a green train, but you have to wait five days to get a ticket."
Xiao Lang's eyes flickered, and he obviously had other ideas, but he didn't say them out loud right away.
