Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 82 Persuasion
Not long after, Fu Linlin returned from the office next door.

"Brother Cheng, I've already spoken to them, let's go."

"Let's go."

Yan Jiecheng greeted Lü Xiaojun and Lu Zijin, then picked up his daughter and left the office.

After the two walked out of the factory gate, Fu Linlin suddenly stopped, looked back at the ironworks, and said to Yan Jiecheng with some sadness.

"Brother Cheng, the thought of not working at the ironworks anymore is really making me reluctant to leave."

"You've been at the ironworks for quite a while, so it's normal to feel reluctant to leave. Let's hurry back; we still have a lot of things to pack."

After handing their daughter over to his mother-in-law, Yan Jiecheng and his wife returned to their own home and began tidying up.

You don't know until you start tidying up, and once you start, you're shocked by what you find. Looking at the large and small bags that have been packed up in the house, Fu Linlin couldn't help but say with some concern.

"Brother Cheng, with so much stuff, I'm afraid one Jeep won't be enough to fit it all."

Looking at the room full of luggage, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

However, after seeing the worry on Fu Linlin's face, he jokingly said...

"Linlin, be more confident. Remove the 'I'm afraid' and replace it with 'I'm sure.' You definitely can't contain it all."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng still joking at this moment, Fu Linlin couldn't help but step forward and pinch Yan Jiecheng's waist.

Yan Jiecheng screamed and begged for mercy.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Honey, let go!"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng beg for mercy, Fu Linlin withdrew her hand and said.

"If you can't come up with a solution, see how I deal with you."

Yan Jiecheng rubbed his lower back and said with a smile.

“That’s easy. Go and call your cousins ​​over later. Let them divide everything except the clothes. We can buy more after we get to Beijing.”

Fu Linlin disagreed with Yan Jiecheng's idea and immediately retorted.

"Brother Cheng, how can we do that? This money doesn't grow on trees. I can't bear to give it away like this."

Seeing that his wife disagreed, Yan Jiecheng could only try to persuade her.

"What can we do? It's more than a hundred kilometers away from Beijing. Are we supposed to move there room by room? Besides, they're not outsiders, they're all family. What's there to be reluctant about?"

At this moment, Fu Linlin had a flash of inspiration and said...

"Brother Cheng, why don't we ask the ironworks' trucks to help deliver it? Anyway, you have a good relationship with Secretary Wang and the others. If you ask, I believe they won't hesitate to ask you."

Yan Jiecheng shook his head and said.

"Linlin, these pieces of furniture, pots and pans, and the like are not worth much."

"Of all these things, only the bicycle is worth something. It's not worth doing someone a favor for something like that."

After Yan Jiecheng said that, Fu Linlin didn't say anything more, but she pouted and sulked.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng could only step forward and comfort him.

Actually, there was another reason, which Yan Jiecheng didn't mention.

When Yan Jiecheng purchased these items, he considered that he would not stay here for long.

In addition, Miyun is relatively remote and doesn't have much good stuff, so I just bought some random things to make up the numbers.

Now is the perfect opportunity to replace these things.

After Yan Jiecheng's reassurance, Fu Linlin finally reluctantly agreed to his idea. Once Fu Linlin had gathered her cousins, the furniture, pots and pans that had been piled up in the house were quickly cleared away.

Seeing the empty house and the few remaining belongings, Yan Jiecheng was quite satisfied and took Fu Linlin back to his mother-in-law's house.

As news of Fu Linlin's impending transfer spread, around dinner time, Fu Linlin's grandparents, three uncles, seven cousins, and seven cousins' wives all gathered at Fu Linlin's father's house.

With so many people, the already cramped room suddenly became even more crowded.

The many cousins ​​and their wives naturally surrounded Yan Jiecheng and Fu Linlin, showing them concern and care.

The three uncles surrounded Fu Linlin's father, asking him about his next plans.

Faced with the concern of these people, Yan Jiecheng, Fu Linlin, and others were also exhausted from dealing with it.

After finally managing to get rid of all those people, only Yan Jiecheng, Fu Linlin, and his parents remained in the room. At this point, Yan Jiecheng spoke up.

"Dad, Mom, Beijing isn't exactly close, but it's not too far either. Are you two really willing to let Linlin and Xixi leave?"

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he probably hugged and played with his daughter.

The mother-in-law looked puzzled after hearing Yan Jiecheng's words.

I thought to myself, what's the point of saying this now that I've already packed all my luggage?
The father-in-law understood, and looked at Yan Jiecheng with an annoyance.

"You little rascal, don't worry, I'll have your mom go with you tomorrow, is that alright?"

Yan Jiecheng quickly waved his hand and said.

“Dad, that’s not what I meant. If Mom comes with us, you’ll be all alone at home. Who will take care of you? You’re so tired after work every day, and then you still have to do laundry and cook when you get home. It’s a bit sad to think about.”

Now even the father-in-law couldn't understand Yan Jiecheng's meaning.

Seeing his father-in-law's puzzled expression, Yan Jiecheng continued.

“Dad, this is what I’m thinking. You’re getting old now, so I think you should just quit your job at the fertilizer factory…”

Yan Jiecheng carefully observed his father-in-law's expression, and only after confirming that he was not angry did he continue speaking.

"You and Mom can go to Beijing together, and then you can go fishing, play chess, and spend time with Xixi every day. That would be a wonderful life."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, before his father-in-law could say anything, his mother-in-law, who was standing to the side, already showed a look of interest and couldn't help but say to her husband.

"Honey, I think Jiecheng is right. Linlin is our only daughter. Why don't we go together? That way we'll feel more at ease."

After his wife said that, the father-in-law was somewhat tempted, but he was reluctant to leave his hometown and hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng could only continue to offer advice.

"Dad, if you can't bear to leave here, you can always come back and stay for a while every year, is that alright?"

The father-in-law hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I'm fine with moving to Beijing, but I can't stay idle. You have to find me a job, even if it's just sweeping the streets, as long as I'm not idle."

"Dad, look at what you're saying. It's not like you have to sweep the streets. It's just a job, easy to find. Once you get to Beijing, I'll find you a job."

After both sides reached an agreement, the next step was to figure out how to get to Beijing.

After all, a Jeep is only so big, and obviously can't fit so many people, plus the father-in-law's paperwork wasn't done yet.

After discussion, everyone decided that Yan Jiecheng and Fu Linlin would take Xixi to Beijing first.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law will settle things here before meeting up in Beijing.
