I've seen all sorts of hand-held toys, but this is definitely the first time I've ever seen one made by playing with a carrying pole.

However, he understood his father's nostalgic mindset and could accept it.

"I'll help you."

Taking the carrying pole and oil brush from his father, Yu Nian wiped the cloth as he said, "Mom's desire to go back to her parents' home is just like your desire to take this carrying pole. Everyone has something on their mind, don't you think? If a person has nothing on their mind, wouldn't they be a walking corpse?"

“What you said makes perfect sense, I agree with it and understand it, but…”

Yu Kang said with a complicated expression, "After thinking it over, I'm worried that your mother's expectations for returning to her parents' home are too high, and she will ultimately be disappointed."

"My mother is the type of person who won't give up until she hits a brick wall, otherwise she wouldn't have married you in the first place, right?"

Yu Nian smiled and replied, wiping the oiled section of the carrying pole dry and handing it back to his father, saying, "Dad, I know you want to come along, but you're just too shy to say no. Since you want to come along, why don't we go together? What do you think?"

"Sigh, what are you saying?"

Yu Kang gave a wry smile, took the carrying pole and continued to play with it. "Alright, let's go together then. You've seen through my thoughts."

After hearing Yu Kang's words, the next day Yu Nian drove his Suzuki Alto to take the elderly couple back to his mother's parents' home.

Although Yang Ru's family home is in Hongjiang County, which is near Jiangdu City, it sounds like it's not far, but in reality it's more than 200 kilometers away. Yu Nian set off at nine in the morning and didn't arrive until 11:30.

Xiao Wu's convoy followed at a moderate distance. To be honest, for a moment, Yu Nian really wanted to turn around and get into the convoy, but considering her parents' request to keep a low profile, she could only bite the bullet and drive herself.

Upon entering the county town, Yu Nian took out his phone and called Xiao Wu, asking him to find a hotel in the town to stay in. Then he drove to his aunt's house.

In fact, Yang Ru's family had a much better life than Yu Kang's family in the early years. Even now, with Yu Nian's hard work over the past few years, Yang Ru's family's living conditions are still not bad.

Just like her aunt's family, who own the largest furniture factory in the county, and have no shortage of houses and cars. Although the house is in the county town and the car is worth over 100,000 yuan, such conditions would still surpass many people even if compared with those in the provincial capital.

As soon as they drove their car to the gate, Yu Nian's family saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties waiting at the factory gate with two young girls.

Seemingly recognizing the Yu family, the middle-aged woman immediately waved excitedly in greeting.

As soon as the car stopped, the middle-aged woman quickly moved closer. She saw Yang Ru through the open window, and tears instantly streamed down her face. She grabbed Yang Ru's hand and said, "Xiao Ru, you're finally back? I thought you weren't coming back for Chinese New Year again."

"aunt."

Holding her aunt's hand, Yang Ru's tears fell. She opened the car door, got out, and immediately hugged her aunt, saying, "I'm back. I came back specifically to see you."

After letting go of her aunt, Yang Ru looked at her and asked with concern, "Are you alright? On the phone, you said your health was getting worse every day, and I was very worried about you."

Yu Nian parked the car and took the gifts from the trunk while observing her mother's aunt, which surprised her somewhat.

Although my great-aunt is not much older than my mother, just of a higher generation, she is much older than my mother, which shows that she has had a lot of worries over the years.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine, it's just that I feel sad when I can't see you."

The aunt nodded repeatedly, and after greeting Yu Kang, her gaze fell on Yu Nian. She said with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Is this Xiao Nian?"

"Grandma, it's me, I'm Xiaonian."

Yu Nian didn't have a deep impression of this great-aunt in front of him; he had only visited her once in his life.

But the other person gave him an incredibly warm feeling, and Yu Nian knew that this was because his great-aunt was good to his mother.

"Wow, the child has grown so much."

Auntie held Yu Nian's hand and circled around him, overjoyed. Then she turned to the two girls beside her and said, "Xiao Wen, Xiao Yue, come and see your little nephew."

Yang Wen and Yang Yue met Yu Nian's gaze, looking at their nephew who was about the same age as them, with extremely strange expressions.

Like them, Yu Nian looked at the two cousins ​​who seemed to be a year or two younger than her, feeling completely bewildered, but she could only bite the bullet and greet them, "Hello, cousins."

Strangely enough, although these two cousins ​​were both born to the same great-aunt, they looked completely different.

Yang Wen looks just like Liu Yifei; she's so beautiful, it's like she stepped out of a painting.

On the other hand, aside from her nice-sounding name, Yang Yue is really not a good-looking person.

He was about 1.55 meters tall, but weighed a whopping 155 kilograms, making him look so fat that it made people frown.

No matter how you look at it, the two don't seem to have been born from the same mother, yet they are exactly the same mother, which confuses Yu Nian immensely.

Hearing Yu Nian address her as such, Yang Wen chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, we're all fine. Welcome home."

Looking at Yang Yue again, she glanced at Yu Nian twice, nodded as a greeting, and then turned and went into the factory.

"This child doesn't understand anything."

Aunt held Yu Nian's hand and said, "Don't take it to heart. She brought a boyfriend home these past few days and she's been putting on airs, acting like she looks down on everyone."

"fine."

Yu Nian smiled and said, "We don't see each other often, so our relationship is a bit distant. It will get better if we see each other more often in the future."

"Yes, yes, we must see each other more often in the future."

Looking at Yu Nian, his aunt said with a face full of relief, "Now that you've bought a car, it will be more convenient for you to come back and visit often."

"no problem."

Yu Nian said, "I'll come whenever I have time. Just don't find me annoying."

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, everyone laughed happily.

"Come on, let's go inside."

The aunt beckoned everyone to enter the factory.

It's called a factory, but it's really just a building with a yard.

The courtyard covers an area of ​​over 1,000 square meters, with an iron shed on top and processing machinery and various types of pre-made and unmade furniture piled up underneath.

When Yu Nian entered her aunt's house, she noticed a Mercedes parked next to her. Although it looked a bit old, it was washed so clean and shiny that it was clear the owner loved the car.

These days, a Mercedes-Benz isn't cheap; even a used one costs money. My great-aunt was able to drive a Mercedes-Benz with her factory of over 1,000 square meters and four or five workers, which I admired from the bottom of my heart.

Seemingly noticing Yu Nian's gaze fixed on the Mercedes, the aunt immediately explained, "This is not our car. Although our family has made some money over the years, we are only slightly better off than the average person. It's completely impossible for us to drive a Mercedes."

She gestured towards the living room and added, "It's Xiaoyue's boyfriend's car. He's coming back these days to discuss their wedding."
