Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Mysterious Letter

In the hall, there were only Wu Xiucai, his daughter Wu Qianyun, her husband, and their children.

If his wife was still here, would they also enjoy the happiness of family togetherness?

Wu Xiucai thought with some sadness.

...

Recognizing ancestors and returning to one’s roots could be both complicated and simple. Wu Xiucai brought back a few old clan members, along with some elderly members of the Wu Family who had initially refused to leave.

Then they opened the ancestral hall and formally recognized their ancestors.

Following old traditions, they offered incense and kowtowed.

When writing the family genealogy, Wu Xiucai included his daughter’s husband and children, as well as two great-grandchildren.

With that, everything was settled.

But Qiao Qingyu was preparing to return to Xichuan. It was already mid-October, and school had just started for the first semester. Even though she was exceptionally talented, she couldn’t miss so much school.

Wu Xiucai and Qiao Zhicai’s interactions, though still somewhat awkward, had improved as both tried to step into each other’s shoes and understand each other’s emotions and feelings.

Things were much better than at the beginning.

Wu Xiucai was also in a good mood.

It wasn’t that his nephew Tai was not good; it’s just that, after all, a nephew and a daughter are different.

Their perspectives of concern were also different.

His daughter would worry if he was warm enough, if his feet were cold, she wouldn’t let him drink too much, or eat cold things, or anything spicy and stimulating. She took meticulous care of him three meals a day, chatted with him gently, and patiently listened to his old stories—such father-daughter affection and familial joy were impossible to find in his nephew.

Wu Xiucai’s heart was also set, how wonderful it was to find his daughter; he would never have to leave this world alone and full of resentment.

At night, the mother and daughter slept together, and Qiao Qingyu said, "Mom, don’t worry about home. My younger brother has my sister-in-law and they’re taking care of things, and there are my grandparents. Just stay here and take care of grandpa."

"Your grandpa is getting older, and his health hasn’t been great these past years. I won’t leave him to return to the Qiao Family Team; it has nothing to do with whether grandpa has money or not."

"Of course I know, I’ve also talked to Dad about this. You guys just stay here comfortably."

"Alright, take good care of yourself when you go back."

As they talked, Wu Qianyun paused for a moment, then continued, "Qingyu, although it’s only October in the solar calendar now, the days will quickly pass and soon it’ll be the twelfth lunar month. I’m planning to take grandpa back to the Qiao Family Team for the New Year, what do you think?"

"Does grandpa agree?"

"That’s what I was thinking. The customs in the South are different from the North; celebrating New Year in the South is not as lively as back home. It’s the first reunion year; if we could spend it together, I hope you and Xiu Yu can bring Rongrong back too."

Qiao Qingyu thought for a moment, "Okay, whether you celebrate in Yun City or the Qiao Family Team, He Xiuyu and I will come."

After getting Qiao Qingyu’s agreement, Wu Qianyun felt relieved.

When leaving, Qiao Zhicai gave his daughter 500 yuan. Qiao Qingyu only took one hundred, pushing the rest back, "Dad, I know you’re saving this money for me, just keep it there. I know you haven’t withdrawn all your money; it’s not convenient for you if you don’t have money on hand."

Next to them, Wu Qianyun smilingly said, "Qingyu, your dad and I have money, and we don’t have many expenses here. Just take it."

Qiao Zhicai proudly arched his eyebrows, "Look, even your mom agrees."

Qiao Qingyu thought for a moment, then accepted it.

Although Wu Xiucai liked Qiao Qingyu, he couldn’t stop her from going home. However, he wrote a letter to He Xiuyu and whispered to Qiao Qingyu, "You must take good care of this letter and not lose it."

Mysterious. What could be so important inside the letter?

"Grandpa, wouldn’t it be easier to just call instead?" Qiao Qingyu suggested tentatively.

"Phones now are too troublesome, always having to be transferred. The operators can hear everything you say, how is that convenient?"

He then added nonchalantly, "I’ve heard that abroad they are starting to research a communication tool that doesn’t need an operator for direct calling."

Qiao Qingyu raised an eyebrow. Ha, she knew that. Wasn’t that the earliest form of mobile phone?

Calculating the time, if the book hadn’t deliberately changed the timeline, it should be appearing soon.

But she didn’t know the exact time.

Nevertheless, Qiao Qingyu placed the letter in her pocket and, when no one was around, put it into the Space Device.

Actually, there was no need to put it in the Space Device because this time Qiao Qingyu was traveling back to Xichuan on a special train, which was smooth and highly secure.

He Xiuyu and Rongrong were there to pick her up, a big and a small hand in hand, standing on a platform in the cold wind.

Even though He Xiuyu was dressed similarly to the people around him, his handsome and standout demeanor naturally caught everyone’s attention.

Seeing Qiao Qingyu with loads of baggage getting off the special train, Rongrong happily ran forward but was held back by He Xiuyu. There was a security line, and only passengers and station staff were allowed to linger.

He waited for Qiao Qingyu to come over and eagerly took her belongings, checking them carefully. My wife has become even more beautiful, but she has also lost some weight.

Oh, it really breaks my heart.

I need to get her some goat milk to nourish her properly.

...

Qiao Qingyu had been gone for over half a month and by the time she returned, the autumn harvest had long ended. The public grain contributions, contract fees, and other miscellaneous things had been handled before her return.

After deducting costs, the money left from selling grains and seeds was Qiao Qingyu’s earnings for the year.

Unexpectedly, there was an extra 50,000 yuan, meaning this year Qiao Qingyu had made a profit of over 200,000 yuan. Adding her savings, she deposited 400,000 yuan into the bank, keeping around 10,000 yuan in cash as working capital.

It was like rolling a snowball, from the initial few tens of yuan to now 400,000 yuan. But also, it had to be said that the investment was big; not many people had that kind of cash on hand, daring to do what she did.

Furthermore, she had a "golden finger," which helped her accumulate capital so quickly.

On the day she returned, Qiao Qingyu solemnly handed the letter to He Xiuyu. He Xiuyu didn’t seem surprised, but Qiao Qingyu still didn’t quite understand.

He Xiuyu and her grandfather had met long ago and had the chance to meet alone. What could they not discuss that they needed to go through the trouble of sending a letter?

So, Qiao Qingyu didn’t know what was written in the letter.

After handing the letter to He Xiuyu, she visited her own land. After a quick check, she started driving the tractor around the land not far from the base.

Qiao Qingyu had many ideas, but whether they would work, that would have to wait until next spring.
