Chapter 333 Preparing to Go Back and Steal My Father
Reading Settings
That evening, Bai Nuo gathered with a few friends. Since they had already decided to return to Kyoto, it would be better to let them know in advance so that everyone could be mentally prepared.
Xie Weidong and the others weren't too surprised that Bai Nuo and Fang Meng were leaving. Although they weren't entirely sure of the two people's true identities, they had already guessed that they must be extraordinary.
In those days, many powerful and influential families would send their children to the countryside to avoid trouble. Once things calmed down at home, they would find a reason to bring the children back. Even the Qishui Brigade had such educated youth in the past.
Moreover, friendships are never a relationship where people are close when they're together and distant when they're apart.
Although they felt reluctant to part ways, seeing their friends have a better future made them even happier.
"Bao'er, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful." Chao Xianhua, who has always been carefree, grabbed Bai Nuo's hands and looked at her pitifully, but her eyes were full of smiles.
"Don't worry, if you ever go hungry, I'll take care of you. I'm not short of money." Bai Nuo pulled Chao Xianhua into her arms and affectionately patted her head.
Chao Xianhua tilted her head slightly, looked at the hand above her head, blinked, and asked blankly, "You seemed to have been touching Weifeng like this this morning, right?"
She saw it when she passed by the brigade headquarters. Bai Nuo was squatting in front of the old wolfhound, with one arm around the dog's neck and the other hand stroking its head.
Bai Nuo: "..."
Xie Weidong, Fang Meng, and You Jin stood by the stove, glanced through the window at the girls sitting in the aisle, smiled slightly, and then turned to look at Fang Meng.
"Have you prepared everything after you got back? Have you made arrangements for your family as well?"
Fang Meng nodded with a smile: "Everything is arranged at home. The little girl will go to school, and I'll go back to my old job. The textile factory here is finally on track. You guys don't need to work in the fields all day, except when you're out running errands. Remember what I said? Review your junior and senior high school textbooks from time to time. Don't fall behind at all. Opportunities are for those who are prepared."
Xie Weidong nodded knowingly. He didn't know if they would ever get that opportunity in the future, but he believed in his brother.
"Don't worry, if that day ever comes, your brothers and I won't let you and Nuonuo down."
Eugene didn't think too much about it. For the past year or so, he had been listening to whatever his brother Meng said and hadn't missed anything.
"That's right, Brother Meng, you can go back without worry. It's just Kyoto. You and Nuonuo can wait for us without worry."
Fang Meng smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
On this side of the corridor, Sun Yuxi and Qin Xuehua were still giving the little girl some concerned instructions.
"Try to avoid fighting when you go to school. I heard from my dad that there are officials everywhere in Kyoto. If you just smash a plaque, you might hit the sons of several high-ranking officials."
We're going there to study, so we should try to avoid conflict with them. But we can't just let them bully us. If open confrontation doesn't work, we can resort to underhanded tactics.
Sun Yuxi nodded in agreement and continued, following Qin Xuehua's words, "You're a local from Kyoto, so it's not easy for you to take action. Just send us a telegram, and we'll ask the captain for leave and head over. Just find out the person's route for us, and we can handle things like putting the sacks in the sacks."
Qin Xuehua nodded: "Yes, after we finished fighting, we took the train back overnight, so they couldn't find us."
Chao Xianhua clenched her fist, her face full of anticipation: "I'm good at this."
Bai Nuo laughed and leaned on Sun Yuxi's shoulder, nodding repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll definitely send you a telegram, I'll find out the route for you, and then I'll get an alibi. You can run away after you've done your job, and I guarantee they'll never dare to bully you again."
The three sisters said in unison, "That's right, let's do it."
"Really, how could you not include me in something like this?" Wei Jia had just walked over when she overheard her girlfriends' secret plot and quickly asked to join.
"Why are you so late?" Sun Yuxi turned around and pulled a small stool from her room, handing it to Wei Jia.
They have all officially started working at the textile factory. They called Wei Jia over when they got off work today, but she had to go home first, so she didn't come to the educated youth compound with them this time.
"My mom brought this for me." Wei Jia handed a large grass carp she was carrying to the man busy at the stove. "My older brother brought it back this afternoon. I heard that the fishpond in the next brigade was drained and a lot of fish were distributed. My older brother went to his classmate's place and exchanged a few for it."
After Wei Jia finished speaking, she sat down and continued, "By the way, my dad asked Uncle Lu to calculate your work points first. He said that after the grain and meat are distributed, he will send them to the capital. He also said that everything in the city requires money and coupons. I think this old man is worried that you two will go hungry when you first return to the city."
Before Fang Meng could even thank her for the fish, she heard Wei Jia's words and shook her head helplessly: "Don't mail it to us. Just divide it among yourselves to avoid wasting money. We have everything we need at home. Even if we don't have any food, I can take the little girl and rob my dad."
“That’s right. My second brother, my two older brothers, and I haven’t been in Kyoto for the past few years. My Uncle Fang should have saved up a lot of money and tickets. We won’t go hungry or be poor, so you can rest assured.”
Several friends knew that Bai Nuo's maternal grandparents and eldest uncle were all busy with work and were not in Kyoto for the time being. Even her great-uncle, who had just returned, had gone to work in another city, but before he went there, he had arranged for Bai Nuo to enroll in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
So, the friends were both happy and worried about Bai Nuo going back to school, fearing that the little girl would go hungry.
But what Fang Meng said...
Something just doesn't sound right!
"You two together..." The group of friends looked at Fang Meng and Bai Nuo, then their gazes all fell on Fang Meng. "Are you going to steal your dad?"
"Ah, right!" Fang Meng didn't feel anything was wrong at all, nodded calmly, then curled his lips sarcastically, and said nonchalantly, "My mom and he's always kept my grandma's savings for when my older brother and I get married. In addition, my dad gives my grandma some money every month, and my grandma saves it all for my older brother and me."
My dad kept the rest of his salary, aside from giving that woman some money for household expenses. As long as my grandma was alive, she wouldn't let that woman manage the family finances. So my dad should have a lot of money left. If my older brother and I didn't try to take it, wouldn't that mean those two women who had him would benefit from it?
Bai Nuo nodded in agreement: "That's right, so we definitely won't be poor when we go back. My Uncle Fang's salary is quite high."
Bai Nuo wasn't embarrassed at all. She had done this kind of thing with Fang Meng many times before. Now that she was smarter, she was not only more agile, but also more eloquent. She was no longer afraid of the mother and her two children's chatter.
Those two have never been lenient with Fang's father since he was a child!
