Chapter 244: Going Home
“Sixth Brother will be studying in the capital from now on, will his grades improve?”
Lying on the train, after a sad farewell, Yun Jiao missed Sixth Brother again.
Yun Xiao Qi: “That’s not necessarily true, my grades will definitely be better than his, Sixth Brother can’t possibly surpass me!”
Yun Xiao Jiu: “My grades will also be super good in the future!”
He was confident: “I want to go to university, and be as amazing as Third Brother.”
Yun Linhai brought hot water and heard his youngest son’s ambitious words, he was immediately excited and patted his little shoulder.
He almost made Yun Xiao Jiu, who had the least strength in the family, fall flat on his face.
Yun Xiao Jiu’s eyes were resentful.
“Hehe, well, let’s eat instant noodles.”
“Yay!”
A group of children cheered.
They liked eating instant noodles the most.
The journey home was smooth without any strange incidents.
It was just that at an intermediate stop, Yun Jiao received commendations.
That’s right, it was the reward for helping to catch the thief and human trafficker last time.
Not only did they receive a letter of gratitude from the local police station, but also a bonus.
Although it wasn’t much, only fifty yuan.
But the whole family was very happy.
“Your Grandpa and Grandma would be overjoyed to receive this letter of gratitude.”
Thinking of this, everyone thought of the few people still in the capital.
After a day and a night on the train, they arrived at the station and took a bus back home.
However, their family’s return caused a sensation in the entire Bailong Village.
After Yun Jiao’s family left, during the long time they were gone, some people naturally inquired, and then the news of their family going to the capital couldn’t be kept secret.
It was quite lively in the village for a while.
Now that they were back, it would naturally be even livelier.
The villagers who were working and chatting at the village entrance gathered around as soon as they saw Yun Jiao’s family.
“Linhai, did you really go to the capital? What’s the capital like? Did you go to see the flag raising ceremony, did you go to Tiananmen?”
“Lin He, is the capital very big? Are the people there any different from us?”
“Yun Lian, why didn’t you tell me you went to the capital? Are we still good sisters?”
“Wang Mei, tell me quickly, are all the people in the capital particularly good-looking, and are the houses there very tall?”
“Huh? Why don’t I see Old Man Yun and his wife, and your Sixth Brother?”
The people who gathered around spoke one after another, making the scene more lively than a vegetable market.
“We went, we went, Auntie, let’s go home and put our things down first.”
No, these villagers were too enthusiastic about them going out for a trip.
“Did you bring all these things from the capital? What did you buy?”
Although they were told to go home, they were escorted back by a group of people.
And they kept asking questions all the way.
Yun Jiao was small and squeezed to the outside.
The two little buns her Fourth Brother tied for her were askew, but it didn’t matter, her Father and Mother were in a worse state.
She was just a child, and the adults didn’t expect her to answer anything, their main targets were those adults.
So she followed behind the crowd and strolled home.
Halfway there, three dogs ran over.
Big White, and her family’s Baozi and Tangyuan.
“Woof woof woof…”
Two half-grown dogs pounced directly at Yun Jiao.
They were exceptionally enthusiastic.
Any other child would have been knocked down by them.
Yun Jiao stabilized her footing, scooped up one dog with each small arm, and caught them steadily.
However, the dogs were too enthusiastic, their tails wagged like blurs, and their big tongues extended to lick Yun Jiao’s face.
Yun Jiao: !!!
She pushed them both away.
“No licking!”
She held down both dogs’ heads.
But the two dogs pouted their butts and wagged their tails with great joy.
“You’ve gotten fat.”
“And you’ve grown.”
Comparing them to how they looked before they left, Yun Jiao evaluated seriously.
Then she looked at her own short hands and feet.
Unhappy, only she hadn’t grown.
“Let’s go home!”
With the two overly enthusiastic dogs, Yun Jiao walked ahead bravely and proudly.
She chattered, “I brought you delicious food. Have you ever eaten Peking Duck? It’s delicious. Although you can’t eat meat, I packed the bone carcass for you.”
“They also have special dog food there, I bought some to see if you like it.”
“Woof woof woof…”
“The Cat Leader has some too.”
“It’s a shame you’re not humans, you can’t eat so many delicious things.”
“Woof woof woof…”
Yun Jiao could have a lively conversation with two dogs by herself.
“What, your Sixth Brother was scouted by a chef in the capital to be his apprentice? And your Father and Mother are still living there taking care of him?!”
Upon hearing this news, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.
“Aiyo, how can there be such good fortune!”
Many people slapped their thighs: “My son eats so much too, maybe my son also has the talent to be a chef.”
“Tell me, why haven’t our families encountered such good fortune.”
“They’re living in the capital now? What kind of large houses must they be living in.”
Yun Linhai and the others had already thought of a way to deal with it, and took out the photos they had taken to show them.
“These photos were taken in the capital, everyone can take a look, don’t tear them.”
While they were looking at the photos, Yun Linhai and the others quickly escaped.
The enthusiastic villagers were truly terrifying.
Even the Village Chief came to join the fun.
The Village Chief had never been to the capital either.
The older generation’s enthusiasm for the capital was unimaginable; even just photos were enough to excite them for a while.
Especially the photos of the flag-raising ceremony, the portraits of great figures in Tiananmen Square, and the national emblem.
“Look at these photos, how happy Old Man Yun and his wife are smiling.”
“It’s really great to be able to see Tiananmen personally, it’s really great to see the flag raising.”
“When can we go see it too?”
“Yun Mu’s child is truly promising.”
Some people felt a pang of envy.
Just a year ago, Yun Mu’s family was still known as the village’s poverty-stricken household.
And in such a short time, they had built two large houses, bought a boat, met people who drove cars, and even a yacht; they were the only ones who had ridden on a yacht.
The excitement at Yun Jiao’s house continued for several days.
Yun Xiao Wu, Liu, Qi, and Ba’s vacation ended, and they returned to school.
The day they went to school, the originally energetic four seemed to have all their spirit drained.
They only went to school after Wang Mei chased them with a stick.
Early in the morning, just after finishing breakfast, someone came to their house to continue asking about the capital.
The enthusiasm was still undiminished.
Yun Jiao looked at her Father, Mother, Uncle, and Aunt with sympathetic little eyes, then, carrying a small bucket, she unhesitatingly ran off with two dogs and a cat.
Why should she, a child, deal with adults?
Didn’t Fourth Brother run off early in the morning?
With a small water bucket in her left hand and a small shovel in her right, two half-grown dogs by her side, and a large calico tabby cat leading the way, with a flock of domestic ducks and geese behind her, the geese stretched their necks and walked with a domineering stride, as if they were her bodyguards.
