Chapter 329: Chapter 330: The Spendthrift Girl 1
But how could Sun Li, having gone through it herself, not understand Nianyangâs thoughts? She couldnât help but poke her on the forehead,
"Girls canât be kept at home when theyâre grown. If you want to go, just go. Tonight, Iâll prepare some food for you to take along. Youâre going to the family house for New Yearâs; the conditions there canât compare to home, so you must bring more things."
So before departure the next morning, Sun Li had prepared large bags of things for Nianyang, including freshly cured sausages and bacon, homemade noodles, even fine white flour, and various fruits and vegetables grown at home.
And an assortment of snacks she made overnight, such as crispy oil cakes, sugar rice cakes, deep-fried tofu, and deep-fried crucian carp, to keep Nianyang full on the road.
Looking at so many things, full of the Jiang Familyâs care for her, Nianyangâs heart was warm and touched. Words circled her mind, but in the end, turned into one sentence,
"Thank you, Auntie, youâve worked hard."
"Weâre all family, no need for thanks!" Sun Li held Nianyangâs hand,
"Yangyang, once you leave, you might not be able to come back for a year or two. Youâre a girl out there, so you must be careful and take care of yourself. Call home every week, otherwise, we wonât be at ease..."
Jiang Aiguo, not good with words, simply gave Nianyang a passbook, saying that in the future, the profit dividends from the fruit and vegetable base belonging to Nianyang would be transferred in regularly. If money runs short outside, just let the family know.
Nianyang enjoyed the incessant care from her relatives, nodding continuously in agreement. Initially feeling happy at the thought of reuniting with Li Tingyan, her eyes now turned red with the sadness of parting, reluctant to leave.
Jiang Tian was reluctant, "Yangyang, once you leave, how long until we can meet again? I heard your university is very strict, even weekends arenât free...."
Nianyang stroked her head, "Weâre all in Pingjing anyway. When you go to university, get a phone so we can stay in touch anytime. Whenever thereâs a chance, weâll meet up, and donât forget youâre coming to manage my Chinese medicine clinic."
Nianyang had too much luggage, making the bus inconvenient, so the Jiang Family hired a car to take her to the countyâs train station. Luo Lanzhen had heard Nianyang was leaving today, so she waited at the train station early.
Seeing Nianyang appear, Luo Lanzhen immediately expressed displeasure,
"Nianyang, you really have no consideration! Leaving without a word - I only knew because Jiang Tian called to tell me. My dad wanted to come see you off, but our garment factory is too busy; he couldnât get away."
Nianyang smiled, "Iâm just going to Pingjing before you. When university starts in March, youâll also have to come over; itâs not like Iâm going abroad, so why the send-off?"
Luo Lanzhen handed Nianyang a bulging backpack, "These are the snacks I prepared for you. Theyâre all high-end foods my dad brought back from overseas, with various candies and chocolates. Theyâre so delicious."
Nianyang helplessly said, "Youâre all giving me food like Iâm being raised as a pig. How can I carry it all?"
Luo Lanzhen chuckled,
"Also, my dad wanted me to tell you that the design sketches you gave are not enough. Theyâre selling too well, so we need a few more. The profit dividends for March will be directly transferred to your passbook. Remember to check!"
Nianyang, "Itâs only two more months until spring. Letâs leave the winter clothes as they are; if thereâs too much design, they wonât sell. Iâll send Uncle Luo the spring clothing designs next week. Let him instruct the workers to speed up production, so in March, spring clothes can start selling!"
After chatting for a while longer, it was time. Under everyoneâs reluctant gaze, Nianyang boarded the train to Pingjing.
