She decided to go out; with no one home for a long time, Liang Hongmei asked her uncle to help handle things and sold the pigs, chickens, and ducks at home, making about a dozen yuan.
The remaining piglet was given to her uncle's family. The house key was also given to her uncle, asking them to help look after the house. The family's three-plus acres of land were given to the big uncle's family.
A month after the letter was sent, her brother wrote back, saying he had found a house over there and asked her and Mom to come. It was already getting hot in June and July, so she and Mom went to S City with two large pieces of luggage.
There was no direct bus from their place to S City, so they had to change buses once. Before leaving, Lin Wan boiled a dozen eggs from home into tea eggs.
She also made a few egg pancakes to eat along the way. The weather was hot, so she didn't dare make too much.
