Wen Jie’s “business” this time is very big. After resigning from the cotton mill, Wen Qin doesn’t know if it’s her illusion, but she feels that Wen Jie is more energetic than before.

Gradually, the image of the strong woman who spoke eloquently on TV in her past life overlapped with her memory. Perhaps for someone like my sister, a fixed get off work and home routine is indeed not such a pleasant thing.

Seeing her sister so energetic, Wen Qin felt that she could leave with more peace of mind.

"Although Jie Mingxia is a good person, you are going to the imperial capital." Wen Jie came up after seeing Wen Qin put away all the money and notes, "Keep all the money yourself. Don't show off your wealth to others, not just to outsiders."

Wen Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Didn't you always speak up for Jie Mingxia before? Why are you asking me to be on guard against him now?"

Wen Jie rolled her eyes at her: "What do you know? You regret teaching your husband to seek a title. The place you are going to is the imperial capital. What kind of place is that? What if he goes out to see the world and becomes arrogant?"

Wen Qin smiled and said, "Do you treat your brother-in-law the same way?"

Wen Jie sneered: "How dare he? If I leave my father behind and keep my son, won't I be better off than him?"

Although she didn't think Jie Mingxia would be such a person, she still listened to her sister and kept the money separately.

"Okay, okay, this is my own little treasury. I won't tell anyone."

Wen Jie was satisfied: "It's just that I don't think you can make it back in time for the birth of this child. But if you go to the capital, try not to come back. Big cities are better than here anyway."

"Look at what you said, it's as if you've lived in a big city. How do you know that big cities are so good?"

"Ask your educated youth friend if she will stay on the farm if she is given a chance to return to the city," Wen Jie said unhappily. "Everyone is trying their best to go to the city, of course because the city is better. Look at this shabby county town, what's so good about it? It's so crowded and shabby, what's so good about it? How many people envy our family?"

Wen Qin felt a headache from being scolded, so she could only agree nicely.

After Wen Jie finished reading, she couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know how sad Dad will be after you're gone."

Wen Qin was fine: "I'll bring dad and the others over when I graduate."

When she can afford to buy a house, she will buy seven or eight in the capital, and each family member will live in one and rent out another to become a landlord.

Wen Jie thought she was bragging and didn't care.

Wen Qin held Wen Jie back and said, "During the years that I'm studying, you have to keep an eye on Dad. Jie Mingxia and I can both make money. Tell him and his brothers not to work so hard and not to do anything dangerous, especially not to go to sea."

Wen Jie was a little surprised: "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

Wen Qin sighed, "I heard that someone went out to sea and said he could earn a dowry for his daughter, but he never came back. I couldn't help but worry about Dad, because I was afraid that he was worried that I was not living well in the capital and was working hard to make money. You should quickly tell him how much money I took out."

Wen Jie sighed when she heard this: "It seems like you have really grown up and now you know how to worry about your father."

"Alright, alright, you already know how to worry about Dad, so I seem to be immature. I'm just planning to expand production, so I'd like to ask Dad and Wen Hai to come and help me collect the eggs. What do you think? This way it's safe, I can make money, and I can worry less."

Wenqin thought this was a good idea.

She would be away in the capital for many years this time, and what she was most worried about was that something might happen to her father and brothers.

Before she had established herself in the imperial capital, she had no way to bring her family over, as she always felt that her brother was not very reliable. Now that her sister is here to help her look after her father and brothers, she finally feels a little more at ease.

Wen Qin kept emphasizing that they should not take risks. Wen Jie couldn't stand her nagging anymore, so she shut up.

Wenqin spent the whole month of August in these trivial matters. In the middle of the month, she ordered a small screen from Aunt Zhang. This time, in addition to food, she also gave her cloth and some other tickets so that she could exchange some things for the child.

Because Wen Qin and Jie Mingxia were both going to the imperial capital, Jie Guiqiu, the apprentice, lived in Aunt Zhang's house, and Wen Qin gave him a year's worth of food and lodging in one lump sum.

Aunt Zhang's family is a little better off now, and they didn't say anything about Wen Qin's new order. They took it directly and even rushed to finish the work for her before Wen Qin left for the imperial capital.

Wen Qin was really touched and quickly told her not to be so anxious and to be careful not to hurt her eyes.

These are the eyes of the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, so precious.

At the end of August, except for Wen Jie's family of three, all the members of the Wen family and the Jie brothers and sisters went to Shanghai in the car driven by Yu Mai, and then took the train from Shanghai to the capital.

After several days of traveling like this, when she got off the train at the Imperial Capital Railway Station, Wen Qin felt like she was about to be marinated. After all, it was summer. She wanted to find a place to stay and take a shower.

But except for Li Mingxia, everyone else was visiting the imperial capital for the first time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Each one of them is chattering with his or her own ideas.

Some want to visit the square, some want to visit the Forbidden City, and some just want to climb the Great Wall.

It was not until Jie Mingxia's suggestion and seeing Wen Qin's face as dark as the bottom of a pot that everyone finally decided to tidy up first.

Their accommodation was arranged by Jie Mingxia. Before coming to the imperial capital, Jie Mingxia contacted someone in the imperial capital by telegram and by borrowing a phone. The contact fees alone cost him dozens of dollars.

The rental house is not too close to Shuimu School, but there is a direct bus and it is not too far by bike.

It is a three-room bungalow with a yard, similar to the house in Xiaxixi Village, but a little smaller.

The rent was not expensive in Wenqin's opinion, 10 yuan a month, and Xie Mingxia directly paid the rent for four years.

Wen Qin looked around and found that this was an area with high housing prices in later generations. He was thinking about whether he could buy this place when houses became available for sale.

"What are you going to do when you arrive in the imperial capital?" Wen Qin had asked Jie Mingxia before, but he just acted like, "Don't worry, I have a way." Now that they have arrived in the imperial capital, he still remains tight-lipped.

Xie Mingxia put her things in order and pushed her into the bathroom: "Hurry up and clean up first. I'll do my thing after you've settled down at school."

If there is one thing Wenqin is most satisfied with in this house, it must be the independent bathroom.

The structure was almost the same as commercial housing in later generations, which made her extremely satisfied.

She could only go in to wash up. When she came out with a towel to wipe her hair, she found that not only was the mat already laid out on the floor in the main room, but Jie Mingxia had also bought dinner.

"Come on, come on, try the food in the capital. Is it better than the food here?" Old Man Wen didn't look depressed at all after sitting on the train for more than ten hours. He excitedly invited Wen Qin to come over for dinner.
