Chapter 230 How to get to the capital
"What, leaving before the New Year?"
"Aren't you all at home for the New Year?"
"There are so many relatives at home. If they pass away early, we won't be able to pay New Year's greetings to them?"
"Is it necessary for us to leave so early?"
"Yeah, what are you doing so early?"
"The work of the eldest, the third and Cuilan still needs to be handed over, which also takes time!"
"Yeah, we left too soon before the New Year!"
As soon as Su Yunyun's words came out, they caused a huge uproar. The Su family members whispered to each other to express their opinions. To sum up, there was no need to leave before the New Year, and it was still not too late to leave after the New Year.
Su Yunyun had actually thought about this kind of reaction from the beginning, so she was prepared, "I said I wanted to leave before the New Year for a reason."
Father Su had been silent while everyone in the family was discussing the issue. When he heard Su Yunyun's confident response, he realized that this was the answer that Su Yunyun had thought about, so he asked directly, "What's the reason? Just tell us directly. We are all listening!"
As soon as Su's father spoke, the Su family fell silent, staring at Su Yunyun, waiting for her to tell them the reason for their departure before the New Year.
"First of all, we will leave for Beijing before the New Year. We will have plenty of time to prepare from now on, including changing houses, handing over work, and packing. If we leave after the New Year, and you want to go with us, we have to leave before the Lantern Festival. If something happens on the way, the time we will arrive in Beijing will become unknown, and it will be unclear whether it will affect our registration. So if we leave after the New Year, we will be in a very tight schedule."
"Secondly, if we leave after the New Year, how are we going to move to another house? We don't know whether Aunt Li and Master Zhang want to move before the New Year. If they want to move before the New Year, then we have to do everything again and move into their house first. Isn't that troublesome?"
"Besides, if we set off before the New Year, we can arrive in the capital earlier and start packing up our home in advance. It will take time to settle everything down. Now that we are all here, everyone can relax. Otherwise, if we leave after the New Year, we can all arrive in the capital on time, but we have to report as soon as we arrive, leaving you alone to adapt and explore the city. Not only will it be tiring, but you may also lose your way for a while, which will make it difficult for you to adapt."
"Also, do our children still have to go to school in Beijing? If we go to Beijing after the New Year, the schools will have already started and it will be difficult to find a school to accept them. It is better to go to Beijing before the New Year and find a school for the children. That way, they can go to school leisurely with their schoolbags on their backs after the New Year. After all, the children's education is a big deal!"
Su Yunyun gave four reasons in one breath, which made the Su family fall into deep thought. She was not in a hurry. She took the teacup handed to her by Han Sen and drank it to quench her thirst first.
After waiting for a while, Father Su spoke slowly, "Yunyun is right. We have to leave before the New Year. Otherwise, there will be too many uncertainties if we leave after the New Year. It will be troublesome if it affects our adaptation to the capital!"
"Well, the children's schooling cannot be delayed," Li Yue looked at the children playing and was very worried. "Originally, the teaching progress and content of our rural and Beijing schools should be very different. If the children can't go to school on time, they will not be able to keep up with the progress and learn. It will take a lot of effort to catch up!"
"Yes, I was hoping that they could go to university like their elder brother. What if they can't learn because I go there too late and are completely in the dark and have no confidence? " Wang Ye was worried whenever he mentioned his children's studies.
"We have to go earlier, otherwise we will all report by then, leaving parents and children to grope in an unfamiliar environment. It will be too insecure." Wang Cuilan also agreed to go earlier.
"One more thing, if we go earlier, we can hold a recognition ceremony for my younger sister and Mr. Du. In this way, our family and Mr. Du can celebrate our first New Year happily in the capital." Su Tai was very happy when he heard that he could go to the capital earlier.
"Then let's go early!" Su's mother put away her reluctance and made a decision with a vision of a new life in Beijing in her heart.
"Since everyone agrees to go to the capital earlier, we should start making arrangements." Su Yunyun reminded everyone, "Change house, hand over work, pack luggage, visit relatives as early New Year's greetings, and other things."
"Well, I also have to tell the village committee as soon as possible that I need to find someone to take over my job as the village accountant. Also, before the handover, we should bring our family's grain back in advance and take it to the capital. The more we save, the better." Thinking that his own job also had to be handed over, Su's father immediately included it in the plan.
"Speaking of food, Han Sen and I used our connections in the capital to get a batch of flour, rice, eggs, apples, and pears. We put them all in a large vat behind the kitchen. Even if we don't take the food from home, we'll have food to eat when we get to the capital, so there's no need to worry." When Su Yunyun heard her father talking about food, she immediately remembered that they had prepared a lot of food before they came back, and she quickly said it.
"No, no matter how much food there is, it's never too much. Besides, there are so many people in our family, so we need even more food. So let's take it all with us, and we won't waste it!" Father Su insisted on his idea.
"Okay, just take it with you!" Su Yunyun decided to follow her father's advice in this regard, so as not to make him angry. After all, he has been a farmer all his life and attaches great importance to food. It is better not to confront him head-on and make him unhappy.
Besides, it is just as Su's father said, not only will the food not be wasted if they take it over, it can also help them save some expenses.
Han Sen suddenly thought of the furniture in the capital. "The house already had furniture. Yunyun and I thought it was not enough, so we bought some more. So when you pack your luggage, don't bring furniture with you. Otherwise, it will be a burden and you won't be able to use it when you get there."
When the Su family heard Han Sen's words, they asked, "What? All the furniture is complete? We don't need to bring anything from home?"
Su Yunyun smiled and nodded, "The furniture in that yard is so beautiful, all matching and antique. Even if we bring the furniture from our house there, we won't be able to use it. It doesn't match and looks weird, so there's no need to bring it."
At this time, Su's mother's mind was full of the antique furniture that Su Yunyun mentioned, so she did not resist at all when she said that she didn't need to bring the furniture. "Okay, then don't bring it. You can give these good furniture of our house to relatives and friends, or you can directly sell them to Grandpa Zhang and Aunt Li."
"Okay, then let's ask Master Zhang and Aunt Li if they want it first!" Su Ping continued.
"Wait, there's one thing I forgot. Even if we don't bring furniture, how can we get to the capital with so many people's luggage, quilts, etc."
