Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290: ng Pei’s Plan
Shu Yu was taken aback; how could there still be a delivery mission during the New Year?
Then he thought about the New Year goods he wanted to send to the capital and couldn’t help but touch his nose.
Gong Qiu said, “Because the New Year is imminent, most of the escorts at the agency have families and are unwilling to be apart from them. There are only a few who can take on the escort missions. Originally, my father just started at the escort agency, and such tasks shouldn’t have fallen to him, but he volunteered, planning to make the trip.”
Shu Yu asked curiously, “Why?”
Uncle ng wasn’t exactly without family, and this year was the first New Year after he and ng Yunzheng had reunited. Without soone like Gong Qiu watching over them, it was a ti for easy and carefree family gatherings.
Why would he choose to leave instead?
Talking about this, ng Yunzheng was also a bit troubled, “My uncle sent a letter, several in fact, urging my dad to go back to the old ho for the New Year. He said that the two brothers haven’t seen each other for many years, and last ti was a hasty parting. He wants dad to take back, and during the New Year, offer incense to our ancestors, have a reunion.”
What ng Yunzheng didn’t ntion was that Uncle ng’s tone in the letters was almost like crying.
Actually, last ti they went for the ng family’s grave migration, Uncle ng had tried to stop them, saying that there were only a few months left, so why not just spend the New Year at ho.
It was ng Pei who refused on the grounds of proposing to the Lu family, which was about ng Yunzheng’s affair, already agreed upon, so Uncle ng naturally couldn’t stop them. He only repeatedly advised them to be sure to return for the New Year when they left.
Uncle ng and ng Pei were very close; when the ng family’s parents passed away, Uncle ng was still quite young.
At that ti, ng Pei had to take over the escort agency, dealing with relatives and escorts coveting the ng family, busy beyond asure. Even so, he still took so ti to teach Uncle ng.
Uncle ng virtually grew up watching ng Pei as he moved forward, admiring and respecting this big brother. When he heard of his brother’s ‘death’ over a decade ago, he fell gravely ill.
Now that the brothers have reunited, although Uncle ng is already thirty-five or thirty-six, his tone in the letters is still as petulant as a child.
ng Pei, vexed by his uncle’s urgent letters, was reminded of sothing important.
The issue of New Year’s ancestral worship.
Not only do they need to worship their ancestors, but ng Pei also has to visit Song Xin.
He and ng Yunzheng seldom reunite, but it’s even more rare with Song Xin.
He and his son have at least secretly t a few tis over the past ten years, but not with Song Xin. This first year after avenging their grievances, of course, he should spend it with his wife.
A son, after all, is not as important as a wife.
Hence, ng Pei decided he would quickly head to the capital with the escort, deliver the goods, and then hurry back ho to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with Song Xin.
After hearing this, Shu Yu was speechless, “So you’re not going back?”
“My uncle wants to go back to the ng family. But as you know, I’m actually not a child of the ng family, although the ng family doesn’t know, we are aware. Accompanying them to worship ancestors during the New Year, well, it doesn’t seem appropriate.”
As for his mother, he has spent every year by her side for the past ten years. This ti, he’ll leave his parents to their heartfelt conversations.
Shu Yu: “…”
That makes sense.
“Moreover, I am not the sa as my father. My dad and my uncle have a close and deep bond, but I hardly have any connection with them. Even if I went back, I wouldn’t know anyone, and it would be extrely awkward.”
ng Yunzheng also didn’t enjoy the New Year visits to relatives and friends.
