Chapter 142: Taking a Long Vacation
After Qin Hanyi left, Tao Junle and Tong Jia looked at each other, and no one dared to say much. Both of them were nervous, not knowing whether the story had been made up or not.
Until Qin Hanyi came back with a pot of hot millet porridge, the two of them were still standing in the same position as when Qin Hanyi left.
In Qin Hanyi's eyes, these looked like two extremely well-behaved children who were at a loss as to what to do after hiding the secret from their family.
Most of the original concerns about Tao Junle disappeared.
While serving porridge to Tao Junle, he asked, "Did you spend the whole night dealing with that beast's corpse? Why didn't you ask me to join you?"
Thinking about it, Tao Junle said with some disappointment: "No, Auntie. It's not worth wasting a whole night to deal with Tong Simin..."
After that, he lowered his head and drank the porridge in silence.
Tong Jia pulled Qin Hanyi's sleeve, blocked Tao Junle's face, and told him the tragic experience of how Tao Junle lost both his parents, was stranded in Java, and his grandfather was killed by the wolf grandmother.
Now, Qin Hanyi's last bit of guard against Tao Junle was gone. Maternal instinct took over, and only heartache remained.
Looking at the porridge and side dishes on the table, he felt very sorry for the child, so he immediately stood up and changed his clothes while saying, "I've taken a day off today, so I have plenty of time.
Jia Jia, please get me a meat ticket so I can buy some meat and make some good food for Xiao Tao.
Having just experienced such a huge change, I’m sure…”
"No, Auntie, this is good enough.
Besides, I can't stay here any longer. I have to go back to negotiate and deal with my parents' funeral arrangements.
Next time, after I finish those things, I will come over again and try Auntie’s cooking.” Tao Junle was worried that if he said too much, he would make more mistakes, and if he finally got away with it, he would make another mistake, so he decided to leave after eating.
Sure enough, after hearing him say that he had to go back to deal with his parents' funeral, Qin Hanyi did not try to keep him, but just kept asking him to eat more, so that he would have the energy to negotiate things with others after eating.
Finally, when Tao Junle left, Qin Hanyi was still very worried and told him some things to pay attention to in the negotiation. These were her personal experiences when Tong Sihe passed away.
Tao Junle was almost in tears, and Tong Jia had no idea that Qin Hanyi had the potential to be a chatterbox.
If possible, Tao Junle really wanted to stay and not leave.
But that’s not possible. The household registration problem cannot be solved, and his parents’ funeral still needs to be handled in a legitimate way.
In order to catch the ship from Xingcheng to Java smoothly, Tao Junle had to hold Qin Hanyi's hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry.
I remember everything you just told me.
What I told you, you have to think about it more.
Although I am very sure that Jia Jia’s uncle can no longer cause trouble, isn’t Jia Jia’s grandmother still around?
Book...My dream was not very clear, and I didn't find out when his son was born.
What if you already have the child and it's a posthumous child? Then Jia Jia's grandmother might really make things difficult for you and your daughter for the sake of this only grandson.
Now that my identity is illegal, I can't openly appear to protect you. You must make plans and take precautions in advance."
Sure enough, after saying this, Qin Hanyi stopped talking to Tao Junle.
She said, "Xiao Tao, you are right, I have indeed thought about this matter carefully.
I won’t waste your time anymore, go back quickly.
If you need your aunt, just tell Jia Jia. Even if she can't help you with anything practical, she has a lot of experience and can at least give you some advice, right?
Let's go. "
After saying goodbye again, Tao Junle took off his clothes and placed them on the table. He thanked her again before leaving with Tong Jia.
As soon as they entered the RV, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Tao Junle said: "Auntie is so enthusiastic."
Tong Jia smiled and said, "Can you believe it? Ever since I recovered my memories of my past life, the amount of words we've spoken to each other during this time combined hasn't been as much as what I've said to you over breakfast just now."
"How could that be? Auntie is very talkative?" Tao Junle asked curiously.
Tong Jia said, "It was like that before, but now... maybe you don't know what to talk to me about?
It seems that no matter what topic we talk about, my father is inevitably mentioned.
She was afraid that I would be sad, and I was afraid that she would be sad, so there were not many topics to talk about.
In addition, in the past few days, I had a reversed day and night schedule. I waited for you in the RV at night and slept during the day, and I had little communication with her.
However, I think that will no longer happen after today. She must have opened her mouth.”
"It's not easy for Auntie either. This isn't the first time we've experienced separation and death. Please try to persuade Auntie a little more.
I'm leaving first to catch the boat.
In the evening... let's come in again at the same time." Tao Junle glanced at his watch. If he didn't leave now, he would be too late.
Tong Jia nodded and said, "Okay, now that I've talked to her, she won't stop me.
Look at how reluctant she was to let you go just now. Maybe when the time comes, she will be even more anxious than I am to urge me to come in.
Please change into your invisibility cloak, I'm going out."
When Tong Jia came out of the RV, she saw Qin Hanyi standing at the place where she and Tao Junle had just disappeared, looking left and right, holding a fire hook in his hand, as if he wanted to dig the ground.
Although she had this experience before, she was still startled when Tong Jia suddenly appeared.
Seeing Tong Jia coming out, she put down the fire hook in her hand, pulled Tong Jia's arm and looked carefully from front to back and left to right.
Finally, she asked, "Jia Jia, are you scared?"
Tong Jia was confused by the question and didn't know what she was asking about that scared her.
Qin Hanyi asked again: "Are you scared when a strange boy suddenly appears? Why don't you wake up your mother?
If my mother hadn't happened to encounter it, how painful would it have been to keep such a big thing in my heart?
Jiajia, don't worry. Regardless of whether what happened in Xiao Tao's dream happened or not, now that he has the clue and has dealt with Tong Simin, the rest of the matter will be left to Mom. "
As she spoke, she hugged Tong Jia in her arms, and her last few words were tinged with tears.
The reason why Qin Hanyi believed Tao Junle's words so quickly was because she believed that if she was really gone, the Tong family would be able to do the things Tao Junle said.
At this moment, Qin Hanyi had only one thought, which was that he regretted leaving so hastily when he went to pick up Tong Jia.
If I had known these things at that time, even if I didn't let Tao Junle take care of those evil people, I would have made them all pay the price.
Now?
It's not worth going back again.
She was very silent the whole morning, and just before lunch, she seemed to have finally come up with a solution.
She said to Tong Jia anxiously, "Jia Jia, Mommy is going out to do something and will bring back some food from the state-owned restaurant. You just wait at home and close the door."
After saying that, he ran away.
When she came back, Tong Jia looked out the window and saw that her expression was serious.
But after opening the door and coming in, the expression on his face changed completely.
She hugged Tong Jia excitedly and said, "Jia Jia, Mom just went to her boss to ask for two months' leave and got a letter of introduction.
Where do you want to go? Mommy will take you there to play."
"Ah?" Tong Jia couldn't figure it out for a moment and didn't know what Qin Hanyi was talking about.
So I asked, "Mom, why do you suddenly want to go out and play? You even asked for two months of leave. Does your boss have any objections?"
Qin Hanyi said, "Jia Jia, Mom has been thinking about it all morning, and no matter how she thinks about it, she feels that the pension from the machine tool factory can no longer be received on a monthly basis, at least not for the two of us.
But if you want to ask for a one-time pension from us, you need a legitimate reason.
After thinking about it, I still have to use you as the starting point.
Isn't that right? I used this reason to ask for leave.
I told my boss that I heard there is a famous doctor in Guangdong Province who can cure your disease completely.
As long as he is cured, he will be like a normal child and will no longer have to stay at home and can go to school normally.
The medicine used is very expensive and requires a lot of money.
When my boss heard this, he not only gave me an advance of one month’s salary, but also approved a three-month vacation for me.
After we have dinner, I will go to the machine tool factory and talk to Secretary Li about this.
In addition to asking for a lump sum pension for both of us, I also have to sell your father's job.
In this way, even if Tong Simin really has another posthumous child, he will not have a job when your grandmother and others come to make trouble.
Without a job, they have no household registration.
Your father is no longer with us, and let me be frank with your grandma: it doesn’t matter.
You are still young and cannot act as a guarantor for your grandmother and aunt. You can't even use the excuse of seeking refuge with them and visiting relatives.
Once someone reports to the neighborhood committee or the police station, they will be considered vagrants and will be arrested.
Moreover, the price of your father's position cannot be sold at a high price, and we have to ask the machine tool factory to remember a favor for my mother and me.
Do you think it's feasible to let them deduct the money for the furniture and lower the price openly?"
"But... Mom, I can receive Dad's pension until I turn 18. The time is limited. You..." Tong Jia was worried that the machine tool factory would not agree to give her Qin Hanyi's pension in one lump sum. She was still young. What if they gave it to her today and she remarried tomorrow?
Qin Hanyi said, “I’ve thought of this as well.
I'll suggest it this way first. If they are willing to give it, that would be great.
If you don’t want to, I will say it’s based on your age.
If you still don't want to, I'll say that the money is not enough, and then naturally offer to sell your father's job, and then it shouldn't be a big problem.
How to talk about it specifically is mom's business, so don't worry too much about it.
Didn’t Xiao Tao say that the overseas Chinese farms in his dreams were all in the south?
I have put the address of the letter of introduction in Guangdong Province. You can ask him in the evening, besides Guangxi Province, where else can he get it?
Except for Qiongdao Island, we can go to all the southern provinces."
"Cuckoo~"
As soon as Qin Hanyi finished speaking, her stomach began to rumble.
Tong Jia said, "Mom, there's no rush, let's eat first.
When you come back from the machine tool factory this afternoon, buy a map and we'll discuss it with Tao Junle in the evening."
"That's fine, let's eat first... Oops~ It's broken.
When the director approved my long vacation, I was so excited that I forgot to buy food.
Even the state-owned restaurants probably don't have anything to eat right now, so let's not make things complicated. I'll go cook some noodles, and then we'll go to the machine tool factory." Qin Hanyi then remembered that he had forgotten to buy food, and as he spoke, he was about to go out again.
Tong Jia grabbed the hem of her coat.
Qin Hanyi looked at Tong Jia, and Tong Jia said, "Mom, since you said you don't want to make it complicated, then you might as well not do it.
Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
After saying that, Tong Jia entered the RV.
Qin Hanyi's first reaction when she saw her daughter disappear was to immediately look up to see if there was anyone outside the window.
After confirming that there was no one there, she quickly drew the curtains.
Five minutes later, Tong Jia brought out a tray.
There is a plate and two bowls on the tray.
There was shredded roast chicken on the plate, and in the bowl was the instant noodles that Tong Jia had just cooked in the RV. Each bowl was filled with vegetables, eggs and prawns.
Although it is also cooked in the RV, the induction cooker is much more convenient than making a fire.
Qin Hanyi was even more excited when she saw her daughter bring out such delicious food in just a few minutes, even more so than when she saw Tao Junle in the morning.
"These are..." Worried that the things were too heavy for her daughter to hold, Qin Hanyi reached out to take them and put the tray on the table before asking.
Tong Jia had already thought of her excuse while she was cooking instant noodles.
He explained: "These were given to me by Tao Junle. He said that he read the news and knew that our area is facing difficulties this year. It is not easy to eat meat or seafood.
But these are very common in Star City and Java, not only roasted chicken and prawns, but also pork, beef, mutton, fish..."
"Okay, okay, how about you name the dishes?
These things are all his. He is an orphan without a father or a mother. We can't take advantage of him." Qin Hanyi felt that it was not right to take other people's things without Tao Junle's consent.
Tong Jia said, "Mom, didn't I tell you that these were all given to me by him?
He said Java was too chaotic and the food was not to his liking.
The hot meal this morning was the most comfortable one he had had in recent days.
That's why he suggested that he provide the ingredients and we cook it as long as he can eat it.
They don't need tickets there, and there's no limit on the items, you can buy them as long as you have money.
It just so happens that he will be staying there for a while, so we decided to try whether the empty... Qiankun bag can keep the food fresh and prevent it from spoiling.
If possible, I would like to give him some money so that he can buy more food, vegetables and meat to put in it.
This way, we can eat unlimited meat and seafood in the future."
Mainly because she ate the delicious food in the space by herself. When Qin Hanyi bought some delicious food, he would let her eat it first, which put too much pressure on her.
Qin Hanyi nodded and said, "That's good too. With food in hand, I won't be worried.
However, what is the exchange rate between our currency and Javanese currency? How do we exchange it? There's a limit on how much you can exchange at a bank, and you have to register a reason, and we don't have a particularly good reason."
Tong Jia said, "Mom, I asked him about this too, and he said we can exchange it for gold, which is accepted all over the world."
