Chapter 236 Sacrifice
When Xie Yi heard this, he knew that what Jiang Chengping actually wanted to express was whether Xu Xiufang's parents would look down on him because of this.
Recalling his experience of interacting with Xu's mother, Xie Yi firmly believed that Xu's mother was not such a worldly person. As for Xu's father, whom he had never met, he only knew him through the image described by his wife.
A tolerant and knowledgeable person, but Xie Yi believes that such a person should not care easily.
What he was more worried about was that he had "taken away" the daughter that Xu's father cherished like a treasure, and whether Xu's father would be dissatisfied with him in the future.
But it was not appropriate to reveal such private thoughts to Jiang Chengping, so he pretended to be relaxed and responded: "Don't worry, I still have some savings to support me."
In fact, Xie Yi not only had a fixed salary income, but also had other sources of income. Jiang Chengping was also aware of this, so he did not delve into it further.
However, he still couldn't help feeling a little sorry for Xie Yi in his heart, thinking that it was Xu Xiufang who held Xie Yi back and forced him to give up more.
Xu Xiufang is indeed outstanding, but Xie Yi is equally outstanding! If it weren't for Xu Xiufang, Xie Yi wouldn't have to make such a big sacrifice...
……
With the graduation banquet successfully concluded, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi began to deal with the tedious matters of household registration transfer.
After two days of twists and turns, the household registration issue was finally settled. Except for Xie Yi who had to wait and see due to policy restrictions, Xu Xiufang and the children's household registration was successfully transferred.
When it comes to packing, there aren’t actually that many things that need to be carefully organized.
They know in their hearts that even if they leave, this will always be their home and the root of their emotions.
Mr. and Mrs. Xie still live here, and they left behind those things that are not in a hurry but are suitable for the elderly as a show of thoughtful care.
Xu Xiufang called Xie's father and mother and said gently, "Dad, Mom, after we leave, why don't you consider moving here? It's spacious here and it's more convenient to use water."
When Xie's mother learned that they were planning to leave before the New Year, she suddenly felt reluctant to let them go.
However, thinking that Xu Xiufang had not been able to return home for many years, she naturally wanted to return home as soon as possible to spend the Spring Festival with her parents. Xie's mother deeply understood.
Hearing Xu Xiufang's proposal, she quickly shook her head and refused: "No, no, if we come to live here, where will you live when you come back?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Xiufang with a slightly nervous look, as if asking: "Or, do you not plan to come back again?"
Xu Xiufang replied in a calm but firm manner: "We'll talk about it when we come back. There will always be a solution."
The implication is that they will definitely return to their homeland one day.
After hearing this, Xie's mother felt relieved, but she still refused, "We won't go there. Although it's a little cramped over there, it won't cause any harm to the two elders."
The layout of the house has been decided. Sanhua moved to Xie Chunyan's place. Xie Lao Da and Qin Yunli occupied a room with Shi Tou. Xie's father and mother also had their own space. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner and did not seem crowded.
As for the dispute on Gu Xiaoling's side, it naturally has nothing to do with Xie's mother.
Why would Xie's mother be willing to move in and let Gu Xiaoling benefit from it?
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Xiufang also felt that it was reasonable. What's more, Xie's father and mother were getting old and lived in their hometown. If there was an emergency, it would be more convenient to call on Xie Lao for help.
"That's it," Xu Xiufang said, pointing to the pots and pans used in the kitchen. "Mom, take whatever you need. And this thermos, after we leave, take it. Boil a pot of water before going to bed at night and put it in the room. When you're thirsty at night, you can take it at any time. It's very convenient."
Even if we go home in the future, the family will probably gather together for meals, so keeping some will just take up space.
Everything Xu Xiufang bought was of high quality. Xie's mother couldn't bear to throw it away, so she quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll pack it up carefully later."
Afterwards, Xu Xiufang led the two elders into the kitchen and opened the cupboard, which contained dozens of kilograms of selected grains and some miscellaneous grains.
The last time food was distributed, Xu Xiufang was only concerned with sending it home and delivering it to her parents, but she kept nothing for herself.
Next to the grain, dried meats of various flavors are neatly stacked.
Since traveling through time, Xu Xiufang would look for opportunities every year to take out meat from the space to make jerky.
Especially after confessing the secret of the space to Xie Yi, she acted even more without scruples. If anyone asked, she could just say it was Xie Yi's idea.
This year, she deliberately prepared more. First, such supplies are not easy to buy in Beijing. Second, it is not convenient to frequently take things out of the space while living at home. So she simply dried them in advance and took them over.
More importantly, since she couldn't be with her parents to celebrate the New Year this year, they would definitely not be willing to buy meat, so Xu Xiufang thought of leaving more for them.
Xu Xiufang patiently explained: "These are the remaining grains from last year. We definitely can't finish them all. Mom, you can eat them. And please take all the meat with you."
Xie's mother was happy to accept the food, after all, she knew Xu Xiufang had sent it before, but as for the meat...
"Why don't you take the meat away?"
Xie's mother hesitated.
"We have left some of them behind, and these are specially prepared for you," Xu Xiufang explained patiently.
Only then did Xie's mother stop making excuses.
Xu Xiufang also carefully told Xie's mother which foods were edible, fearing that if she didn't tell them, the two elders would be reluctant to eat them.
Finally, Xu Xiufang pulled out a hundred-yuan bill from her bosom and handed it to the two elders, "Mom and Dad, my brother Yi and I cannot be by your side to show our filial piety in person. We feel really guilty. Please accept this little gift. We will send it back directly every year. What do you think of this?"
Now... the atmosphere seems a little subtle and awkward.
Mother Xie's gaze passed through the slightly dim light and gently fell on Father Xie, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Xie Yi went to the capital alone and had no stable job. Sanbao and Xiaoyun still depended on the support of Xu Xiufang's family for their lives. How could Xie's mother accept such a profound love?
Father Xie seemed to understand the hesitation and embarrassment in his wife's eyes. He shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness and determination in his words: "Xiufang, we have deeply felt your kindness, and we have received the food you sent. But we really can't take this money. The cost of living in the capital is high, and you should keep some for yourselves. When everything is settled and Xie Yi finds a job, it won't be too late to consider it then."
"Some things can be delayed, but you must accept this money."
Xu Xiufang knew deep down that Xie's father and mother did not know all the hidden facts, and it was natural for them to refuse, but she insisted on her decision.
In her opinion, even if the two elderly people could not use the money right away, at least keeping it in their hands would come in handy in an emergency.
