I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With

Mu Yangling looked at her brother in surprise. "Since you’re moving back, then, then Sister-in-law and the children..."

Smiling, Mu Bowen said, "Of course they’ll come back with me. They can make their own decisions after they have their own careers."

Mu Yangling was silent for a moment before asking, "What about your ambition?"

"To me, it’s the same no matter where I am located." Mu Bowen patted his sister’s hand comfortingly and said, "Back then, the reason why I was in a hurry to resign and go south was because the Ministry of Works had a lot of information for me to study. Besides, I had to inspect the sites all over the country. However, during these past ten years, I’ve seen all the documents and information that the Ministry of Works has available. As such, it no longer matters if I stay in the capital or move back to the north."

In the past, Mu Bowen did not have any achievements in water conservancy. If he resigned from his post, he would be nothing. However, he was now the famous Teacher Mu of the Ministry of Works. Even if he was in the north, the Ministry of Works would still invite him over to take a look if there was an important water conservancy project.

Since that was the case, he might as well move back to the north. Here, he could serve his parents while continuing to work on his ambitions.

Mu Bowen did not have much ambition. After this snowstorm passed, he would start writing books and organize all the gains from the water conservancy projects over the years into books. Occasionally, he would help the provinces repair their water conservancy facilities.

Regardless of whether it was writing books or building water conservancy facilities, he still had the rest of his life to complete it. On the other hand, his parents were already old. He did not want to have the regret of not being able to take care of his parents one day. When he returned this time, Mu Bowen realized that his parents had grown old, even older than he had imagined.

"Sister, the capital is too far away from the north, and Mother has always only reported good news but not bad news. I’m afraid that if something happens one day, I won’t be able to do anything. They have two sons. If... neither of their sons are by their side, how sad will they be? As the eldest son, I should be the one carrying the weight of this family."

Seeing his serious expression, Mu Yangling immediately smiled and patted his shoulder in relief. "You have my support. If Father and Mother really fall sick, do tell me. Your brother-in-law and I will also come to serve Father and Mother."

Mu Bowen smiled. "Sure."

After a while, he said to her seriously, "Thank you, Sister."
