From Rural Roots to City Lights Chapter 22

"Don't worry, you don't have to carry it." Mother Chen was so busy that she didn't even raise her head. "Mom has a way!"

"This... this much, how can we finish it all?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Mother Chen looked up and glared at Ethan Chen, "Of course, these are for you to give to your leaders, colleagues, and friends. Look at the tasteless foreign eggs you eat. These are free-range, real grass eggs. You have been working for so long and don't know how to behave. Letting your leaders have a taste of something new doesn't count as a bribe!" Mother Chen waved her hand and said, "I asked Kevin Chen to buy you tickets early this morning. There is a direct bus at 6 o'clock tonight. You will leave tonight and arrive early tomorrow morning. After you go back, have a good rest for two days and then go back to work. I won't keep you at home."

"Originally, my mother asked me to book you tickets for the day after tomorrow," Kevin Chen came over to explain, "but there are no tickets for tomorrow. They are all reserved by students. Even the high-priced tickets are not available. Those who have seats still have tickets today."

Silently, Ethan Chen thanked her mother as she watched her mother busying around with swift hands and feet.
