Chapter 318 I Dare Not Come
"Grandma, what do you think of this? How about I go back and pick up my parents?" Sanmao said seriously.
"No need for that. Xingyun said he would arrange for someone to send the letter and New Year gifts back. By then, he will help arrange the workshop and fields at home." Old Mrs. Yang replied with a smile.
After Da Mao, San Mao and Simao looked at each other, they all turned their gaze to Xiao Caoer.
As the elder brother, Damao took a step forward and asked, "Sister, what do you think about this matter? Do you need to ask your third brother to go back and bring our parents over?"
Xiao Cao'er blinked, chuckled and asked back, "What's so difficult about this? If Third Brother really wants to go back, then go back. But, the New Year is coming soon, isn't Third Brother busy?"
Simao couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and asked with some concern: "Sister, do you think the people Brother Xingyun sent back can successfully persuade my parents to come to the capital?"
Xiao Cao'er turned to look at Simao and patiently explained, "Brother, things are not as you think. Brother Xingyun didn't send anyone back to persuade our parents to come to the capital. We have to write letters back to persuade our parents. The people sent by Brother Xingyun are only responsible for helping us deliver the letters."
Simao suddenly realized what was going on. He raised his hand and scratched his head, a trace of embarrassment on his face, and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is..."
Sanmao said seriously: "No matter what, the letter must be written sincerely. We have established a firm foothold in the capital now, and parents can come and enjoy a good life."
Da Mao nodded in agreement: "Third brother is right, but my parents are attached to their homeland, it will not be easy to convince them."
Xiao Cao'er rolled her eyes and said, "Brothers, we can write more about the new and interesting things in the capital, and how lively the New Year is here, which is a hundred times or a thousand times more lively than in the countryside. We can also talk about how good our lives are now, so that parents don't have to worry about us. And my second brother will be back in the capital soon, and then our family will be reunited."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Da Mao smiled and praised: "Little sister is smart, just write it as you said."
So the brothers found paper and pen and sat together to discuss how to write the letter. Everyone had anticipation and excitement on their face, as if they had already seen the happy scene of their parents coming to the capital for a family reunion.
"Grandma, please write one too. If my parents see the letter you wrote with your own hands, they will definitely not dare not come!" Xiao Cao'er kept muttering to herself while writing furiously.
"Yes, yes, grandma, please write a letter yourself and mom and dad will definitely do as you say after reading it. I haven't seen mom and dad for almost a year. If mom and dad don't go to the capital, I can only go back to see them next year." Simao said.
After listening to his younger brother's words, Da Mao also nodded and said, "That's right. Grandma and my sister are here today, and my second brother will return to the capital in a while. We can't just leave them alone and go back to the countryside. It would be lonely for only my parents to spend the New Year at home. We should go to the capital, where it will be more lively and the whole family can be reunited."
"Okay, grandma, I'll write it right away and ask them to come to the capital. If they don't come, I'll scold them to death. Humph, the children are all in the capital. If they don't come, do you want us to go back?
But if I forget how to write something, you must tell me right away. Old Lady Yang agreed with a kind smile on her face. She also picked up a brush, dipped it lightly in ink, and then began to write thoughtfully.
Just as the grandparents and grandchildren were concentrating on writing letters, there was a sudden noise outside the door. It turned out that the group of young men came in, and they also came to write letters.
Every two months, they would send a letter home, bring some things or silver back. And the person they entrusted was none other than Qi Xingyun's caravan. Every time they sent the things to the county town, they would hand them over to Shopkeeper Wu, who would then arrange for people to deliver the items to various villages. This had become a regular pattern over the past few years.
"Grandma, let's write the letter today, and then go to the street tomorrow to see if we need to buy something and bring it back together."
"Yes, grandma, shouldn't the letter go with the caravan? Or should we send someone else to deliver it?"
"We should send someone else to deliver it. There are also New Year gifts. There must be a lot of things. It may not be convenient to send them with the caravan."
"You can keep writing letters and buying things. Xingyun said that someone will be sent to deliver them. But you have to hurry up. I will go shopping tomorrow too." said Old Mrs. Yang.
"Grandma, please call us when you go out, otherwise, I'm afraid what happened a few days ago will happen again." Sanmao said.
