SIAS Chapter 242.1

“I said, during the Chinese New Year this year, I will go back with you to pay a visit to my parents-in-law.” Yun Guyuan repeated.

Does a normal person call their future in-laws ‘parents-in-law’ while still dating?

Could she have misremembered?

Yi Qingqing was starting to doubt her sanity.

“Actually, my mother likes good-looking people. Just based on your face, my mother will definitely not disagree. Besides, you are so smart. What I just said was just to scare you. When we go to the capital, we can take a photo together, and I will send it back home. Then we can get by easily. Don’t worry!” Yi Qingqing quickly tried to smooth things over.

“You don’t want to take me home for Chinese New Year?” Yun Guyuan’s tone was somewhat downcast.

“No, no, no!” Yi Qingqing waved her hands quickly.

“You…”

She remembered Yun Guyuan’s family; it was practically nonexistent.

She couldn’t bear it.

It’s only natural for a girl to take her boyfriend’s family home for Chinese New Year!

Yes, that’s it!

With a determined look, Yi Qingqing said, “Yes, yes, of course, I’m willing! My mother will definitely praise my good taste in choosing such a wonderful partner as you!”

“Then it’s settled.” Yun Guyuan said with a faint smile.

“I won’t miss a single New Year’s celebration for you from now on.”

Does this mean he’ll be spending every New Year’s with her from now on?

“What about Jinling? You…aren’t you going back?”

“I’m not going back. That’s not my home anymore.” Yun Guyuan spoke calmly, as if it were something unrelated to him.

Yi Qingqing felt a pang of heartache and comforted him: “It’s okay if you don’t go back. From now on, my home will be your home!”

“Okay.” Yun Guyuan smiled happily this time.

Yi Qingqing realized later that she seemed to have been tricked by Comrade Yun, but she had no evidence.

Forget it, since he smiled so beautifully! She would let it go for now!

She is not only bringing back a son-in-law for her mother, but also a son who is almost her own. Her mother should be very happy, right?

…

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yi Qingqing and her friends held another small meeting.

“Today’s meeting is to discuss our reporting to the capital!” Li Mengxue announced the meeting’s topic.

The seven of them had already agreed during the Chinese New Year to go to the capital in advance and bought their tickets in early February, more than a week earlier than the official reporting time.

For things like surplus food, they could exchange them for food tickets at the grain station with their university admission notices, which they could use when they went to university.

Clothes, bedding, and daily necessities would all be taken directly to the university.

Other items, like iron pots and trunks, that couldn’t be taken but still had some value, would be traded with the villagers for other things. The rest would be left at the educated youth point.

However, the most valuable thing, which they couldn’t take with them, was their bicycles.

Even if it’s been ridden for three years and is quite old, it’s still a bicycle!

“Didn’t we say last time that other things were easy to dispose of, but bicycles were a different story? I’ve found buyers. On the day we leave, we just need to park them at the designated spot. The older ones are 50 yuan each, and the newer ones that Qingqing and the others have are 70 yuan each. How about that?” Li Mengxue said.

Yi Qingqing guessed that she planned to keep them for Xiao Hua and resell them.

It could be sold for 70 yuan, which was already very good, so Yi Qingqing agreed immediately.

The others didn’t hesitate either, as it saved them a lot of trouble.

“This morning, Comrade Xie and I went to the city. We were planning to send a telegram to my father to book train tickets for us. But guess what happened?” Wang Lingling smiled and kept them in suspense.
