Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: Confirmation Received 5

"Yes, if he had been more astute, he would’ve taken you with him then, and you wouldn’t have had to endure so many years of hardship!"

Being driven out of the house during the difficult period, one can only imagine how tough their situation was.

Qiao Desheng held onto both Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, "Though you’ve gone through such tribulations, you’re both alive, which is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune. If my mother knew you were safe and sound, she would be very happy."

Feng Qingxue said, "In that case, why don’t you take Guan Cheng and Guan Yu with you on this family visit?"

Qiao Desheng and Guan Cheng and Guan Yu were all taken aback and turned to look at her.

"Why are you looking at me? During a family visit, won’t the relatives who are visited be even happier to suddenly see two more family members, especially after believing Guan Cheng was no longer alive?" Feng Qingxue spoke earnestly, "If we miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come? In a couple of months, the kids will have to go back for farm work. Perhaps after the visit, the kids could spend some more time with their parents and go straight home from there without making another trip here."

Qiao Desheng and Guan Cheng were somewhat tempted.

Qiao Desheng wanted his mother to meet Guan Cheng and Brother Guan Yu, while Guan Cheng wanted to meet the aunt he had never seen, "Speaking of which, cousin, how did you know my birthday?"

Qiao Desheng said matter-of-factly, "Our grandparents and uncle have all attended your first birthday party."

As grandparents and uncles, how could they not attend their grandchild’s first birthday party, especially since the Guan Family had once helped the Wang Family through tough times? No matter how far away, they had to be there.

After hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, Lu Tianzhi pointed to his own nose, "Am I going along with Brother Acheng too?"

"You all came together, so of course you’ll go back together," Feng Qingxue said as if it were obvious, "By my reckoning, it’s now the end of February, and spring plowing is about to begin. Do you think you can afford to be idle?"

Guan Cheng shook his head, "We can’t. We were planning to go back in March anyway."

If they really didn’t go back, Lu’s father would certainly send a telegram to hurry them home; missing work was out of the question!

"There you have it. You go with your cousin to Shanbei for the visit, get on the train from there straight home, see relatives, and save time, killing two birds with one stone. I’ve recovered well after my confinement, so you can rest assured," Feng Qingxue said, then turned to Lu Jiang, "Don’t forget to give the kids some money, take the saved Grain Tickets and anything else they can carry with them."

Lu Jiang nodded; he definitely wouldn’t forget.

"When we came, Grandpa Lu gave us money, including nationwide Grain Tickets," Guan Cheng hurriedly said; the Grain Tickets were sent by He Hongjun to He Qingyin, who didn’t need them and gave them all to Lu’s father,

Lu Jiang said, "If he gives it to you, just take it. I reckon your grandfather doesn’t have much money left."

Although Lu’s father had thousands of yuan several years ago, three or four years had passed, and with family members frequently visiting the black market and second-hand markets, and occasionally helping others out of a tight spot, no amount of money would be enough.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue normally spent money sparingly, but over the past two years, they had indeed saved a large sum of money.

Guan Cheng scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. When they went to withdraw money, Lu’s father did murmur that the money wasn’t much; thinking about it, they really did spend money lavishly. If others knew, they would surely curse them for being wastrels.

But seeing those exquisitely beautiful items and antique paintings and calligraphy, they just really wanted to buy them!

Feng Qingxue laughingly said, "We have an idea of how you spend money; what of it? We wouldn’t be comfortable with you carrying a large sum of money. Take three hundred yuan with you first; we’ll wire the rest to your family."

"I’ll do as Auntie says!" Guan Cheng readily agreed, knowing the money wired home would certainly be received by Grandfather Lu.
