Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Let’s Go "How are the dormitories arranged in your Cultural Work Troupe?" "Two people per room." "That’s not bad. Are there any empty beds?" "Yes." "Then when you go to work tomorrow morning, just take your bedding roll with you. Since you won’t be living at home, you’ll have to rely on the cafeteria for all three meals, and don’t forget to take your lunch box and toiletries with you." At this point, Cai Xiufen asked, "Will you move back here after the New Year?" Kang Yiyang shook his head. "No." To prevent his aunt and grandma from worrying further, Kang Yiyang added, "It’s more convenient to live near work." Since the unit provided accommodation, he naturally had no reason to continue causing trouble for his aunt. As the New Year’s atmosphere grew stronger, like the previous year, Kang Li took her three kids along with Mrs. Qi to visit the Martyrs’ Cemetery. However, this time, their birth mother was naturally accompanying them. By coincidence, as Kang Li and her three kids finished paying respects to their grandfather, they saw Old Lady Yu and Old Master Xiao walking over. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦 The two of them greeted Kang Li and Cai Xiufen, then squatted in front of the neighboring tombstone to place their offerings. Old Lady Yu had cleaned the tombstone thoroughly, and Old Master Xiao had meticulously removed the weeds surrounding it. "Mom, let’s take the kids over there and wait for Grandma Yu and her group!" Kang Li called out to her mom, leading her three kids to the spot she was pointing at. Cai Xiufen whispered to her beloved daughter, "What relation is the person Grandma Yu is paying respects to her?" Kang Li replied, "Brother and sister. Grandma Yu had one brother and one sister; her brother died on the battlefield early on, and her sister died in an accident when she was just a teenager. Now, Grandma Yu has no other living relatives." "In those early years, there was chaos everywhere with conflict, and countless families would end up destroyed or worse, with entire families wiped out." While speaking, Cai Xiufen couldn’t help feeling fortunate that the challenging terrain of their hometown kept enemies from invading; otherwise, whether she and her entire family would still exist today was questionable. Ten minutes later. "No need, no need. Last New Year’s Eve we already imposed enough; this year, Old Xiao and I will just stay at our own home. You don’t need to worry about us!" After leaving the Martyrs’ Cemetery, Kang Li invited Old Lady Yu and Old Master Xiao to spend this New Year’s Eve at their home again, but Old Lady Yu directly waved her hand and refused. Cai Xiufen tried to persuade her for her beloved daughter, "Auntie, why don’t you and Uncle just listen to Li Bao? We can enjoy New Year’s Eve together, and having more people around is merrier." "No, really." Old Lady Yu firmly declined, saying, "We have everything we need for the New Year at home; we don’t want to cause you any trouble." Seeing that Old Lady Yu was immovable, Kang Li eventually had to respect the elderly lady’s personal wishes. ... The courtyard. "Mom, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and Luo Yanqing called a couple of days ago to say he can’t make it back. So, I thought I’d visit him today, bring him some clothes, and also some food. What do you think..." At around ten past noon, Kang Li personally made several kinds of cakes and beef jerky, among other food items, each packed securely and stuffed into a large travel bag. Looking at the two large travel bags on the coffee table, what could Cai Xiufen say? All the preparations were made, and her daughter was going to the institute to visit her son-in-law—could she object? "Go ahead! And if you decide to stay the night there, remember to call home." She had been in North City for such a long time, yet she hadn’t seen her son-in-law come home even once. She couldn’t fathom how her daughter had managed to get through the year!
