Chapter 1067: Confirmation
Wei Kaiyun meant that as long as he wasn’t the one going, anything would be fine.
Hu Mingjin was listening on the side, "Mr. Wei, Village Chief Li, I’m going to make a phone report on work tomorrow. If I can go back, can I ride back with the truck?"
"Of course, we can go tomorrow."
However, it’s impossible for Wei Kaiyun to drive, it’s too noticeable, especially since he’s a reporter. It’s better to avoid being seen.
"Tomorrow, let Yun Qiang go with them. Wang Shulin and I have arranged to meet at the township station in the morning."
"That’s fine. Jiushang has gone with me before, he knows how to take the bus, but is Accountant Li okay with it?"
Li Yungui understood Wei Kaiyun was asking about the money.
"Yun Qiang said each of their five people has money sewn into their waistbands."
Wei Kaiyun nodded, that’s good too. Now that the weather is warm, it’s not easy to hide money; carrying it is the safest way.
Li Yungui actually wanted Wei Kaiyun to take them to the city and watch them board the train.
Wei Kaiyun saw his intention. "How about I take them tonight at midnight? Then we can only go to the transport team the day after tomorrow."
"Alright, let’s book the vehicle for the day after tomorrow." Nothing is more important than the over ten thousand yuan.
In the past two years, they have seen such large sums of money; they never dared to think about it before.
"I’ll go notify Wang Shulin then."
Wei Kaiyun didn’t bother with this anymore. After he left, Li Yungui and the others also departed. After all, outsiders weren’t allowed here; without Li Yungui and Wei Kaiyun, Hu Mingjin definitely wouldn’t be able to enter.
Li Yungui rode his bicycle to the Jin Family Village, and Wang Shulin made things easier by taking a vehicle directly, saving a midnight trip which wasn’t safe.
After all, with money on your person, it’s natural to feel insecure.
Li Yungui arranged for them to stay at the brigade headquarters. At one o’clock, Wei Kaiyun drove over to take them to the city.
Since he’d gone twice before, he knew there was a bus at three-thirty in the morning, which was quite nice and quiet.
On the way, Wei Kaiyun instructed them, "You mustn’t act alone, even when going to the bathroom, at least three people must go together."
Jiushang felt uneasy, "Master Wei, I’m scared."
"Even if you’re scared, hold it in and don’t show it. If you act scared, the thieves will notice immediately. Just pretend you don’t have money on you."
Although it’s easy to say, few can actually do it.
Wei Kaiyun helped them onto the train without staying, and directly returned home. It wasn’t until after five, but many people were already awake.
Li Yungui anxiously waited at the village entrance. Seeing Wei Kaiyun drive back, he felt relieved.
"Village Chief Li, I’ve already sent them on the train. It’s just two days and a night, it’ll be fine, they must get used to it."
"You go home first, I’ll be there shortly."
At home, Zhang Qiu’e was already up cooking, Jiang Xinyu got up to exercise with the three children.
The two of them discussed it and decided to head to the transport team after breakfast.
Li Yungui really had too many things he couldn’t let go of at home, so he looked at Jiang Xinyu, "Teacher Jiang, aren’t you going to the provincial city with your family?"
Jiang Xinyu laughed out loud. "Village Chief Li, that’s a good suggestion, why don’t you just give us a recommendation letter? We won’t come back from the provincial city, and go directly to collect fish and shell powder?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yungui thought it would take at least a month before they returned. He wasn’t worried about losing the money with Jiang Xinyu, as he believed she had things under control.
"Xiao Jiang, how long will you be gone?"
"At least forty days, right?"
Li Yungui clicked his teeth. It’s mid-July now, meaning they’ll return at the end of August at the earliest.
Wei Kaiyun smiled from the side, he didn’t mind, anything was fine.
In the end, Li Yungui still agreed, but only Jing Chu went along.
Jiang Xinyu didn’t feel safe leaving a girl alone at home.
However since that was the case, the car couldn’t fit everyone.
In the end, they simply decided to rent a truck.
Li Yungui clicked his tongue at the extravagance, but the two families weren’t short on money.
Once the decision was made, Li Yungui wasn’t worried anymore, especially since Wei Kaiyun was going, he was most assured.
Since they were going to travel, preparations for food began at home today, mainly bread and fried dough twists.
Other food wouldn’t keep, they couldn’t carry much.
Jiang Xinyu planned for them to go directly to the seaside and let Wei Kaiyun come to find her. But the guy didn’t want to, he went to discuss with Old Yang instead.
Jiang Xinyu guessed Old Yang wouldn’t agree, and Wei Kaiyun guessed right.
The final decision was for Old Yang to drive the truck and take the family to the seaside, and for Wei Kaiyun to meet them there.
After breakfast, Li Yungui rushed the vehicle. Besides the three people, there was a cage of big roosters, ten of them, and two hundred eggs.
Hu Mingjin sat in the vehicle, feeling quite leisurely, asking questions while they answered along the way.
Arriving at the county, they first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver the eggs and roosters, then proceeded to the transport team.
Jin Erlin here had no objections, three vehicles would go together the next day.
"Captain Jin, give me the best car condition."
"Mr. Wei, don’t worry, I know what you’re using it for, it even has a canopy."
Wei Kaiyun was very pleased with Jin Erlin’s understanding.
Hu Mingjin received instruction from above, he felt it was the right time to leave, and they had a meal at the restaurant together.
On the way back, Wei Kaiyun lay directly on the ox cart, looking particularly relaxed.
"Xiao Wei, what will your family do when you come back?"
"Old Yang will drive back, the rest will take the train. But it’s too hot. I’m thinking, when I finish in the provincial city, I’ll bring a truck directly."
"I agree with your idea. Old Yang’s kids are too little, it’s too hot for them on a bus."
"Yeah, should we do it this way?"
"By the way, we’ll bring back kelp, shrimp shells, and such, Village Chief Li tally up who needs it, so we can bring some when we return."
"Sure, I estimate every household wants it. It goes well with chives, tastes quite good.
Xiao Jiang doesn’t just want to buy food, right?"
"No, at that time, we were still separated, she took the children to see the sea sunrise, the two older ones remember it, so they told me they wanted to see it again."
"You’re very good to your kids."
"They’re my kids, how can I not be? Besides, letting them see more of the world is a good thing."
"That’s because you have the resources."
Wei Kaiyun placed his hands behind his head, "Honestly, it’s the same in nature, give the children as much you can afford."
"Well, it’s only been these two years the children have had the opportunity to learn, thanks to Xiao Jiang’s efforts."
