The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 176 - 146
Chapter 176: Chapter 146
Lin Guohao, who was driving the car in front, glanced at Lan Tian through the rearview mirror and suddenly spoke up.
"Our hospital has a nurse who is pregnant and about to give birth, it’s just a matter of these few days. She has already applied for a six-month leave from the hospital. Once she leaves, there will be a vacancy for a nurse position, I can ask the hospital to hold the spot."
"Is that so! Will it affect you?" Although Chunhua’s situation was important, Lan Tian wouldn’t agree if it would affect Lin Guohao.
Lin Guohao caught a glimpse of Lan Tian in the rearview mirror, saw her deep in thought, and a smile flickered in his eyes.
"It won’t, our hospital staff has quota for internal recommendations, it’s a waste not to use it. I have a recommendation quota, and whether it works out still depends on the girl herself."
Since Lin Guohao had put it this way, the matter could be considered settled.
"Thank you for the trouble, Brother Lin." Lan Tian said.
"It’s no trouble."
With Chunhua’s situation taken care of, Lan Tian had one less thing to worry about and could now focus on her own affairs.
Before long, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Someone came from Beijing to take Old Mr. Mo away, Lan Tian also began her school term, and she sent a letter home explaining the situation here, mentioning the house purchase, and so on, suggesting they move over once the snow melted and the weather warmed up. In the letter, she emphasized that she bought the house with her own earned money, obtained from selling four pots of tea plants, to prevent Grandma Sun and the others from having wild thoughts, thinking it was a gift from Old Mr. Mo.
She sent a separate letter to Chunhua, explaining to her the situation Lin Guohao had discussed, leaving it up to her whether she wanted to come over. Lan Tian could only do so much.
Mo Junhua wasn’t with the military unit, no one came to take her to the military, Lan Tian seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and did not return to the military, instead enjoying a leisurely life in Shanghai, attending school during the day, practicing calligraphy at night, and studying arrays and such.
After Grandma Sun and the others read the letter, they found it both amusing and touching, their hearts as sweet as honey. Yet, they worried that by doing so, Lan Tian might face trouble if Wang Guiyu from her in-laws’ side found out and gave her a hard time in the future.
"Lili, our girl bought a house for us but not for their side, is that proper?" Grandma Sun always worried about Lan Tian suffering at her in-laws’.
"What’s wrong with that? Have you ever heard of children being wrong for being filial to their parents?" Zhao Li scoffed, Lan Tian was raised by them, weren’t the tuition and daily expenses covered by them? Did her in-laws contribute a penny?
"Auntie, you’re overthinking it. Let me tell you, you know Tiantian’s temperament, once she’s decided something, no one’s words will matter. If you don’t go, she would still have to take leave to come and fetch you, which would then delay her studies. Besides, don’t you miss her? I do, I miss her all day and all night, and I always feel that the house is eerily quiet without her."
Zhao Li has always been strong-willed; what did she care about the village folks’ thoughts? Happily, she ordered Mo Yuanle to pack up their belongings, planning to leave as soon as spring arrived.
"Ah, what does the girl mean by this last sentence in the letter? She’s asking us to tell the peach tree in the back that we’re leaving?" Holding the letter and reading it over for a long time, Zhao Li turned back and asked Grandma Sun and Mo Yuanle.
"Don’t worry about it too much, just go back and say it as it is, the girl must have her reasons for doing so. Her affairs are too mysterious for us to understand," said Grandma Sun.
Mo Yuanle nodded solemnly.
Time flew, and by March, the family’s affairs were in order. Grandma Sun and the three of them took their belongings and boarded a train. When the villagers saw them leaving, they made up an excuse saying they were going to visit Old Mr. Mo in Shanghai. Who in the village didn’t know that Old Mr. Mo became a high-ranking official outside, they envied the Mo family for having such relatives to rely on.
"See that, the whole family is off to join Lao Wu’s uncle," a villager said sourly.
"If you’re capable, find someone to rely on yourself, what’s the point of saying such things?" The village chief glared at that villager and began shooing people away, "Aren’t all of you busy with farm work? Still have the mind to worry about other people’s business, go on, off to work with you."
Lan Tian counted the days, and when it was the day Grandma Sun and the others were due to arrive, she got up early to get busy. Granny Lin and the others knew that Miss Lan Tian’s grandma was coming today, they arranged for the rooms to be tidied, and food to be prepared.
The family had arranged for a car, and even assigned an additional attendant to follow, as the train station area was chaotic with all kinds of people coming and going; it was easy for accidents to happen.
Lan Tian looked like a fairy, and if she were to go to the train station alone, Granny Lin would not be at ease. She wanted to arrange her own son to accompany her but was turned down by Lan Tian. It was neither a holiday nor Sunday, and as the hospital side was also busy, it was not good to always take leave for private matters.
Lan Tian got into the car for the train station, where the car waited outside, while she waited on the platform inside.
