SIAS Chapter 232.1

With another happy event in the family, and the New Year approaching, it was a double blessing. The Yi family was becoming more and more hopeful.

After being happy, Zhao Xianglan sighed as she looked at her daughter who was suffering in the countryside and could only spend the New Year at home every year.

Although her daughter said that she ate and slept well in the countryside, it was far from as good as in the city.

“Mom, why are you sighing again? It’s such a happy thing!” Yi Qingqing asked.

“Qingqing, you should come back and take over my job. Next year, when your sister-in-law gives birth, there will be two children in the family. Your Aunt Ma won’t be able to take care of them all, so it’s perfect for me to come back and take care of my granddaughter!” Zhao Xianglan said.

Yi Qingqing didn’t expect her mother to bring up the past again.

She said helplessly, “Mom, didn’t I tell you before? I’m doing fine in the countryside. I have enough food and drink, and my work is going well. You want me to come back, but I’m reluctant!”

“But you’re getting older every year, and it’s hard to find a partner in the countryside. You still have to come back to the city, so I can pick one for you!”

Now that her son has married a good wife, she no longer has to worry about him. Only her daughter’s affairs remain unresolved, so isn’t that a worry?

Marrying a daughter is different from marrying a son. If a son marries the wrong wife, he will be able to bear the pain in his own family. But if a daughter is not married carefully, it will ruin her life. Zhao Xianglan is extremely worried.

Yi Qingqing had never imagined that there was still the matter of finding a partner. She was only 19, and she was being urged to find a partner so early?

“Mom, I’m only 19!”

This time, Zhao Xianglan wasn’t so easily persuaded: “Then you have to meet each other first, okay? It takes time! It’s not a good idea for you to just stay in the countryside!”

“Mom, how about this? Give me another year, and we’ll see next year.” Yi Qingqing said.

“Why do we have to wait until next year?”

Zhao Xianglan didn’t understand. The sooner she came back, the sooner she could enjoy it. Next year will be another year later.

Yi Qingqing thought for a moment, then leaned over to Zhao Xianglan’s ear, and whispered, “A friend of mine who’s an educated youth in Hai City said that the college entrance examination might be resumed soon. If I can pass it, I can return to the city then. Her family is in government, so please don’t tell anyone about this.”

Zhao Xianglan understood the implications and nodded, dropping the subject.

As long as there was hope, it was fine.

What she feared most was having no hope. She could not accept watching her daughter waste her life in the countryside where she was unfamiliar with the place.

Yi Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

There were so many secrets, and finding excuses was a hassle. And then there was the matter of buying a house later, which was even harder to explain. Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

This year, the factory’s annual leave was longer, lasting about ten days.

The whole family was busy preparing for the New Year. Yi Qingqing would stop by the bank every day, buy some things for the family, and look forward to the New Year. Of course, the most important thing was the New Year’s gift package.

When the clock struck twelve, the limited-time sign-in location for New Year’s Eve appeared on time. Yi Qingqing walked skillfully to the sign-in mark, stretched, and chose to sign in.

[You sign in at the limited-time sign-in location on New Year’s Eve and receive a New Year gift pack x1.]

After returning to the room, Yi Qingqing couldn’t wait to start opening the gift package.
