“Okay, Monkey, you discuss it with your mom, and Xiaochen, discuss it with your grandpa. If everyone agrees, come to my house in the afternoon and we’ll go together.” Yang Rui patted their shoulders, turned around and went to his uncle’s house.

The monkey returned home and saw his mother busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

He ran into the kitchen excitedly and told his mother what had just happened.

After hearing this, my mother nodded, although she was quite surprised at such a high salary.

But Gu Zhiqing had helped their family a lot in the past few years, and she trusted him more.

"Xiao Hou, when you go out, listen to Gu Zhiqing. It doesn't matter if you can't make any money, as long as you are a good person..." His mother looked at Monkey with a loving gaze, but her hands did not stop moving, and she was still busy stir-frying the vegetables in the pot.

The monkey looked at his mother and felt warm in his heart. He knew that although his mother didn't say it, she must be worried about him in her heart.

He nodded vigorously and promised, "Mom, don't worry, I will listen to Gu Zhiqing and take good care of myself. Moreover, I will work hard and strive to make money as soon as possible to make our lives better."

After hearing this, his mother smiled with relief, for she knew that her little Hou was a sensible child.

"Okay, okay, eat something first, I'll help you pack your clothes." Her mother wiped the tears from her eyes and went to the bedroom to pack.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen returned home. His grandfather was squatting on the ground weaving a bamboo basket, his rough hands skillfully manipulating the bamboo strips.

"Xiaochen is back? What did Xiaorui want to talk to you about?" Grandpa raised his head and asked with a smile.

There was a kind light in his eyes.

"Grandpa, Gu Zhiqing came back yesterday. He found a job in the city and said he wanted a few people to help. The salary is 100 yuan a month. Brother Rui wanted me to go too." Xiaochen said excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

"100! This is a good thing. Xiaorui is a good boy. If he hadn't borrowed money from me, I might have died long ago. If you want to go, go ahead. The policy is different now. It's good for young people to go out and try their luck." Grandpa nodded, he stood up, patted Xiaochen on the shoulder, his voice full of emotion and relief.

"But you're alone at grandpa's house..." Xiaochen's eyes revealed a hint of worry. He knew very well that his grandfather was old and not as healthy as before. He was alone at home and was afraid that he couldn't take care of himself.

"It's okay. The old man is in good health now. If you go to work in the fields, you can't beat me!" Grandpa smiled, his face filled with pride.

He knew his physical condition and understood Xiaochen's worries, but he hoped that Xiaochen could seize this opportunity to go to the city and see the world.

"Grandpa..." Xiaochen's voice was choked with sobs, tears welling up in his eyes, as if they would fall at any time.

Grandpa stroked his hair gently and said with a smile: "Okay, you are a big boy, not a girl, you can't cry, okay?"

Xiao Chen nodded, trying to keep his voice calm: "I understand, Grandpa, I will definitely make a lot of money in the future and let you live a good life."

Grandpa smiled with satisfaction and said, "Good boy, I believe you can do it. But you must also remember that no matter whether you make money or not, you must take good care of yourself."

"Yeah." Xiao Chen hugged his grandfather and nodded.

The village chief's house.

"What? You want to go with Gu Zhiqing? To the provincial capital?" The village chief was stunned. This news was a complete surprise to him.

He looked at his nephew, his face full of surprise and confusion.

"Yes, this time Brother Yue came back and found a job, and Monkey and Xiaochen are all going." Yang Rui nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.

"And the salary is high, I want to go out and have a look."

The uncle sighed. The child had grown up and his heart was as big as his. "Okay, go ahead, but be careful when you go out." His uncle said, his tone full of helplessness.

He knew that he couldn't stop Yang Rui's decision, nor did he want to dampen his enthusiasm.

He could only silently wish him well and hope that everything would be fine for him.

Yang Rui saw his uncle's worry, walked up to him and comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I will come back to see you often." As he said this, he shook his uncle's hand.

The uncle felt Yang Rui's sincerity and concern, and felt more comforted.

"Okay, since you have made up your mind, go ahead." said the uncle.

"But you have to remember, no matter where you go, this will always be your home."

"Thank you, uncle." Yang Rui said with a low voice.

"I will remember your words." He said, bowing deeply to his uncle.

Then he turned around and walked out of the village chief's house.

"Xiao Rui, you're back. What's wrong with you?" Shen Yan couldn't help but ask as he saw that Yang Rui was in a low mood.

"Nothing. My uncle, that old man, made me feel reluctant to leave. We only have so little luggage." Yang Rui looked at Shen Yan and his mood immediately recovered.

Looking at Shen Yan who had already packed a big bag, he asked.

"Let's just take some clothes to change into. It's not convenient to carry too many things on the road. We can buy other things later. Oh, and take these grains and vegetables at home to your uncle's house later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Next, the two of them cleaned the house thoroughly and locked all the bedding in the cupboard.

Just as I finished packing, Monkey and Xiao Chen came over carrying a big bag.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the few of them moved all the food in the house to the village chief's house.

Afterwards, they got on a car and left the village with everyone reluctant to let them go.

After arriving at the county, they took a train to the provincial capital.

Along the way, they changed several buses and after two days of travel, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Come on, come in! I rented this house. We'll live here for the time being. When we have money in the future, we'll buy a house." Shen Yan opened the door to the yard with the key and said to them with a smile.

The three followed Shen Yan in. The house was not big and a little shabby, with only three or four rooms, but it had its own entrance and courtyard.

"Xiao Chen, you and Monkey live in this room, Xiao Rui and I live here, and we can use the middle room as a warehouse." Shen Yan introduced them to the others.

Xiaochen and Monkey walked into their room. There were only two beds and a table in the room, but they were already very satisfied.

They put their luggage away, then walked out of the room and sat in the living room with Shen Yan and the others.
