Chapter Fifty-Nine: About to Set Out on a Long Journey

  But the fact is that she cannot help but believe it.

  When the market was crowded, Qiu Ye took a small bowl and filled it with a bowl of dried bean curd pickles, using toothpicks to offer passersby a taste. Those who tasted it didn't say it was bad, some might have thought it was expensive and left, but most people recognized Qiu Ye's craftsmanship and bought her pickles one after another.

  Qiu Ye basically opened up the market, and later on, there was no need to let people try it for free. When people saw that so many others were willing to pay for it, they figured it must be delicious and followed suit by paying for it too.

  Unexpectedly, Qiu Ye's Korean kimchi was the first to sell out. Because of the hot weather now, eating a salty dish made with cucumber and melon at this time is just right, it looks refreshing.

  Qiu Ye stood here for an hour and sold out all the pickled vegetables, there were still people who didn't buy any, Qiu Ye told them to come earlier tomorrow.

  Qiu's mother had no reason to stop her daughter anymore. The girl's pickled vegetables were selling better than her own tofu, and sometimes Qiu's mother would think that her daughter was born to be a businesswoman. Whatever Qiu Ye wanted to do, she could make money from it.

  Starting from the second day, Qiu's mother had another heavy task every morning. She had to make dozens of kilograms of tofu for her daughter every day. Qiu Ye was afraid that her mother would be tired, so she suggested to her mother that she would come to the tofu workshop during the day and sell it at night. However, Qiu's mother looked at her daughter's small build (Qiu's mother's eyes were really sharp, and her daughter was still small) and decided to do it herself, lest her daughter get tired and not grow up properly in the future.

  She was the idlest at home, her brother had to go to the field every morning to pick vegetables and then sell them in the market. In the afternoon, he would come back to pick up Qiu Ye and help her transport all the pickled vegetables to the market.

  This holiday season, Qiu's family was busy and fruitful again.

  However, Qiu Ye's business didn't last the entire summer break as Zhao Shuyan had to take her students on a field trip out of town. When Qiu Ye found out, she was thrilled and insisted on going along.

  For this, the Qiu family's four adults and two children specially held a family meeting.

  "Where are you going? You can't go. Your aunt is going out for something important, and you're following her, what's the point of that? And you're so young, going out will just be a trouble for your aunt. No, you can't go." Qiuma strongly disagreed with her niece's wild idea. At such a young age, instead of staying at home, she wanted to run so far away, all the way to Xinjiang, which wasn't even a neighboring province that could be reached by train in just a few hours, but rather a border region that would take almost ten days to reach by train.

  Qiu Ye heard her mother's firm opposition, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing out one after another. This time she wasn't pretending, she was really heartbroken. She had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, but it might slip away just because of her young age. Thinking of He Tianyu, whom she had always been thinking about, she couldn't help but feel sad.

  "Girl, your aunt has gone too far this time and still wants to take so many students with her. There's really no time to take care of you. We're not going this time, are you? You're most concerned about your small business, if you leave, your mother will take over your business."

  This time, Zhao Shuyan is going to take the students to Xinjiang. That place is very far from this small city in the north. Even taking the train takes ten days or half a month to arrive. I don't know what this school is thinking, letting these students go so far away for a field trip.

  "Dad, I want to go, but think about it and went." Qiu Ye's tears didn't wipe away, pitifully facing her dad and begging. "I'm already so big, I can take care of myself, and Dry Mother's students are all university students now, she doesn't need to worry at all, just looking after me is enough. And my business, mom, you can just do it first, when I come back it will definitely be the start of school too, and I won't be able to go to the market either." Qiu Ye has been thinking about going to Xinjiang with one heart, this is something she has been looking forward to for a long time, now that there's finally an opportunity, she must think of every way to follow.

  She knows what's important, business can be done at any time, but the opportunity to go to Xinjiang is not available every year. According to her mother-in-law, it seems that it only happens once every three years and may not even come true, so this opportunity must not be missed.

  "Girl, this time your aunt is going to Xinjiang and won't be back until October, by then you'll have already started school for over a month, how can we fall behind in our studies? " Mr. Qiu tried to persuade the girl, she's grown up so big but has never been to such a faraway place (he himself hasn't been to such a faraway place either), and has never left their side, now thinking that the girl is leaving, he's getting anxious.

  "It's okay, Dad, you don't have to worry about my studies. Didn't Godfather say I could skip directly to fourth grade? Missing a few second-grade classes is no big deal. Actually, the teacher has already taught me what Godfather taught before."

  "That won't do, you're just a young kid from a good family, don't go and cause trouble for your godmother. Besides, when others go out, it's all paid for by the company, but if they bring you along, how will things like train tickets be accounted for? If you go, it'll just be causing trouble for your godmother." Qiuma saw that the girl wasn't listening and got a bit impatient.

  Qiu Ye ignored her own mother, but turned around to look at her godmother sitting next to her with eyes full of tears and asked: "Godmother, am I causing you trouble by going?" The way she looked, if Zhao Shuyan said yes, she would burst into loud wails.

  Zhao Shuyan paused for a moment, reached out and touched Qiu Ye's head, saying: "Of course not, Little Ye is so obedient, she went to help her godmother."

  She said to Qiu's couple: "Yanlin, Fengqin, I know you are worried about the child and don't want to let her go because you can't bear to part with her. But look at how much she wants to go! This time it's a big group of over 30 people, four teachers are going, all university students, so they won't need much care. I can take full responsibility for Xiaoye's safety. Also, I have connections in the Xinjiang military region, so everything will be arranged once we get there, and safety is guaranteed. It's a rare opportunity, who knows when we'll go to Xinjiang again? So if the child wants to go, just let her follow us."

  Zhao Shuyan doesn't have children of her own, so since she acknowledged Qiu Ye as her goddaughter, she has been doting on her unconditionally. If Qiu Ye wants stars, she won't give her the moon. Of course, it's also because Qiu Ye has always treated her with filial piety like a biological mother. She knew long ago that Qiu Ye wanted to go to Xinjiang, so when the school organized a trip for art students to go to Xinjiang for inspiration, she signed up. In fact, she had already gone once a few years ago and didn't have any intention of going again, but this time it was mainly because she wanted to take her goddaughter along to see it.
