Chapter 195: Transport
"This has to be determined in advance!" Su An scratched his head, "Will it be too late when it's right in front of us?"
"You idiot!" Su's mother was so disappointed with Su An that she slapped him on the back. It was winter and he was wearing a lot of clothes, so the slap didn't hurt. Su An was still smiling and didn't show any pain.
When Su's mother saw Su An's playful smile, she was furious, but thinking that everyone was discussing the house at the moment, she was in no mood or time to argue with him, so she let Su An go.
"It's too early to say it now, lest others think we are arrogant. Let's talk about everything after you get your notice." Father Su looked at them and stated the decision directly, making it final.
"Okay, we'll listen to you, Dad!" Su Ping and the others agreed.
"The house issue has been sorted out now. We can wait until we receive the notice. There's no need to rush," Li Yue still looked worried. "But we have so much property. What should we do?"
"Yes, how can we bring so many things to the capital?" Wang Ye was also very worried. "My family is not that kind of rich and powerful. We can't just throw away all the things and buy more in the capital. Besides, even if we can, we probably won't be able to buy so many at once!"
"Who says it isn't true? There are so many things in our house that are of such good quality that they can be used for decades without breaking down. It would be a shame if we threw them away." Wang Cuilan was also very depressed.
You have to know that nowadays people pay great attention to quality when making things because materials are precious and need to be used for a long time. In addition, some craftsmen have very good skills. For example, the tables they use every day have mortise and tenon structures without any nails, but you have never seen the tables rocking back and forth when in use.
"Not only these belongings, but also clothes for all four seasons for all of us," Li Yue looked at the children running around, "Not to mention us adults, there are a lot of clothes for these children. Packing up a few big bags is an understatement. We can't just throw them away!"
"Of course we need them. We don't need to wear anything!" Wang Ye looked nervous and painful. "Even if we want to buy them, we need cloth coupons. But we don't have the resources to get cloth coupons. What if we don't want all the clothes? When we need to change clothes, we won't even be able to go out. That won't work!"
"Don't even mention the cloth coupons. The prices in the capital are definitely much higher than here," Wang Cuilan thought about the prices. "We're going to live there for a long time, and the daily expenses are already very high. If we have to buy everything again, the burden will be too heavy. Our family can't afford it."
Mother Su looked at her daughters-in-law who were talking non-stop. The reason she didn't interrupt them was because what they said touched her heart.
Deep down she believed that these things should not be thrown away. Buying new ones after losing them would be a waste and not treating the money properly!
Rural people hate wasteful behavior the most. If these things are not needed, wouldn’t that be a waste!
"You are all right!" Mother Su saw that Li Yue and her two sisters-in-law were talking excitedly, so she joined in. "Every blade of grass and every tree in this yard was earned by your father, me, and you, one work point at a time. If you don't want them, I won't agree."
When Su An heard what Su's mother said, he hurried to persuade her, "Aren't we discussing it? Where did we mention throwing it away?"
"Mom, it's not that we don't want them, but we can take the train to the capital, but how do we get these things on the train?" Su Ping was at a loss at this time, and had no plan in his mind.
"Even if the train station agrees to ship these things to us, it will take a lot of effort to transport them. Besides, when we arrive in Beijing, we are unfamiliar with the place and it will be a hassle to transport things from the train station to where we live!" Su's mother was worried and scared at the thought.
"Oh, right, where to live!" Mother Su slapped her thigh and quickly looked at Su Yunyun and Han Sen.
The others were also shocked when they heard this. How could they have missed out on such an important thing? Even if the previous transportation problem was solved, the most difficult thing was where to move the things after arriving in the capital!
"Mom, these are two different things. Let's deal with them one by one." Su Yunyun saw that her family was full of worries and she didn't have the heart to keep them in suspense, so she decided to solve the problem first.
"First of all, let's talk about the things at home," Su Yunyun started by talking about the first thing. "We have a lot of things at home, and there are many people. If we don't want any of the things, it will be very expensive to buy more in Beijing. We don't need to do that, but I don't recommend taking everything with us. We have to simplify things."
"Streamline it?" Su's mother was a little puzzled. "As the saying goes, 'a broken house is worth a fortune'. How to streamline it? Doesn't it mean that everything is good and can't be thrown away?"
Su Yunyun thought of the concept of "letting go" which was popular in later generations. If she brought up this concept and let her mother hear it, she would probably point at others and scold them for being spendthrift and unable to make ends meet. But then she thought that if they took everything with them, according to their family's situation, how much would that cost!
The scene of being surrounded by luggage and belongings appeared in front of her, and Su Yunyun was immediately frightened. No, absolutely not.
\"What I mean by streamlining is to simply not put some of the things you don't need into the range of things you can take away, such as a broom with only a few bamboo branches left, a makeshift washboard, a somewhat lame bench, and clothes with too many patches on them..."\" Su Yunyun counted the categories that could be streamlined.
\"These can still be used as is!" Su's mother grumbled reluctantly.
"Mom, think about it. We are going to the capital to live a good life. Of course, we can't be extravagant. We should be frugal when we should live a good life. But there is no need to bring these things. We don't know how long they can be used after bringing them from far away. We will have to worry about finding a place to put them. And we will probably have to spend extra money to bring these things. It's such a long journey to the capital, and the travel expenses are probably much more expensive than the price of these things themselves." Su Yunyun started from the reality and persuaded Su's mother with reasons that she could accept.
"You're right. It's not worth spending a lot of money just to bring these things that you may not use or will not use for long." Mother Su thought about it carefully and felt that Su Yunyun was right. "I might as well save the time I spend packing these things for the things that are worth taking. This way, the money spent will be worth it."
Seeing that her mother had accepted her idea, Su Yunyun looked at Li Yue and her two sisters-in-law. Their opinions were also very important.
"Little sister, don't worry, we all think you're right," Li Yue expressed the opinions of Wang Ye and Wang Cuilan on behalf of them. "The capital is far away, and we don't want to bring so many unnecessary things as luggage. It's not worth it, not to mention the trouble and effort, but also the money.
After hearing this, Su Yunyun nodded to show that she understood.
"But we are still confused," Li Yue asked Su Yunyun, "We can streamline things, but how do we transport them?"
