Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 20: The Move Begins

  All the way to admire, after seeing Yun Qingran's small courtyard, Master Yun felt that their rooms on the other side were really nothing. On this side, they saw various plants, except for white roses, others had never heard of them, and fish were also unheard of. The table and chairs on the round platform were actually made of whole pieces of sheep fat jade, which was top-notch. The material of the ceiling lamp in the house was unknown to him, but it was more dazzling than diamonds. The silk quilts, bed curtains, and window screens were countless times better than the best silk he knew.

  Yun Lao Ye Zi had an even deeper understanding and appreciation of Yun Qing Ran's master, and he felt more at ease. If he could give away such valuable things to Yun Qing Ran, what else could he possibly want from her?

  Yun Lian had just arrived in the space when a white ball of fur pounced on her.

  "Master, don't leave me in space, it's so boring." Ballball stretched out its four small paws and hugged Yun Qingran's clothes, acting spoiled. It really didn't want to cultivate anymore, but not cultivating would be boring too, Fu the housekeeper wouldn't talk to him, and Xing would only bully it, it couldn't even hide, how could it catch up.

  "Alright, I'll let you out to accompany me soon." Yun Qingran hugged Ballball for a while, saw its body shudder, the disheveled white fur smoothed out, and then became messy again.

  "Bad master, only knows how to bully others." Every time he comes, he has to mess up my beautiful fur.

  Ignoring its complaints, feeling that it had played enough, it went to cultivate again. After waking up, it suddenly thought of something and took out a piece of purple sandalwood and a gold block, put them together for refining, and in a short while, a plaque with the majestic words "Cloud Mansion" appeared.

  Let Fu's housekeeper take the signboard and arrange it to the mansion, then control three of the intelligent robots that are building the underground secret room to transform into two men and women in their 40s and a woman in her 20s, staying in the mansion to cook, clean and do chores. The Yun Mansion is too big, sweeping will be very tiring, and after Yun Xi started her clothing factory, she couldn't help Old Lady Yun with cooking anymore. Originally thought that just having Lu He and Tie Mu would be enough, but after considering it, decided that more people would be better.

  After Yun finished all these things lightly in the cloud, when she returned to her bedroom, Xing also followed.

  "Well, let's start learning alchemy today. There are too few low-grade elixirs in the space that can be used by your grandparents and others, but their consumption is gradually increasing, and if we don't do something, the low-grade elixirs in the space will soon run out."

  "Hmm, okay." Yun Qingyan thought for a moment and nodded. She had also started learning alchemy, so it was time to start learning about elixirs too. "It's been so long, I've been giving them body-enhancing pills all this time. Can I add some marrow-washing pills to the mix now?"

  "Right, still like before, start with just half a grain and gradually increase the dosage later on, so the change won't be too obvious."

  Nodding to show understanding, Yun Qingran went alone to the alchemy room to start practicing. Xing didn't sleep this time and started bullying Qiuqiu.

  The next day, everyone woke up very early, probably because they were too excited about the move to sleep. Yun Xi would have had panda eyes like everyone else if she hadn't been put to sleep by Yun Qing Ran's sleep-inducing technique.

  "Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma!" Yun Qingran happily greeted the two elderly people.

  "Good morning, little one. Later, you'll be staying with your grandpa." Cloud Old Master chuckled and hugged Cloud Qingran.

  Yun Qingran nodded obediently. Yesterday, when everyone was packing up their belongings, they only took some things they liked, and many others were left behind, planning to give them away to the villagers who had agreed to come over early in the morning to collect them. Many people in the village were still very poor, which is a common phenomenon in rural areas during this era. The adults' clothes were patched up again and again, and the children wore hand-me-downs from their parents that had been altered to fit them.

  The Yun family's condition has always been good, although they don't show off on a daily basis. Mr. and Mrs. Yun's carvings and embroidery can earn a lot of money outside, and Mr. Yun also charges more for his medical services to those who are a bit wealthier. So the Yun family's clothes and other things are not bad, without the usual situation of wearing new clothes for three years, then old clothes for three years, and finally mending them for another three years. Mrs. Yun often takes some old clothes and gives them to families in great difficulty.

  "Ah, I'm so tired!" Two hours later, Yun Xi stood up and rubbed her sore waist.

  Yesterday, everyone cleaned out over ten boxes of clothes. The boxes weren't big, and we only kept five or six of them. We gave away the rest. There were also many quilts, sheets, and other small items at home that we mostly gave away too. In total, there are less than fifteen boxes left to move, which is still a lot. All the furniture was left here, and I asked an honest old man from the village to help take care of the house. I gave him some money. His family conditions were poor, living with two children in a broken, leaky house. His wife had run away, but fortunately, he insisted on sending both children to school.

  Mr. Yun was very appreciative of this behavior of insisting on letting the children go to school, and since he was a good person, honest and kind-hearted, the two children were also polite and studied well, so he left two guest rooms in his home for them to live in and help take care of the house, and even gave them clothes and bedding yesterday

  Chose two boxes suitable for them and left them there.

  Almost at ten o'clock, a small truck and a van arranged by Yun Xiang arrived. The driver helped Chen Chen, Yun Xiangfei move the boxes onto the truck, then everyone got into the van and headed to their new home.

  Yun Qingran gazed out of the car window at the village she was about to leave behind. She had spent a happy childhood here, felt the care and concern of everyone, and received help from them all. These simple rural folks, she would find a way to make their lives better.

  In the city, I met Yun Xiang and his family, and we arrived at the house around 12:30. Fu was waiting outside with Lü He, Tie Mu, and three robots who came later - Old Li, Zhao Shu, and Lü Zhu.

  There were four more people waiting, and everyone just snapped out of it. These must also be the people sent by Yun Qingyan's "master".

  "Master and mistress, young master, ladies and gentlemen, I am Zhang Fu, the butler. Lunch is ready, please follow me."

  A man in his forties wearing a long, dark robe was the first to approach, greeting everyone as they got off the bus, which left the two drivers stunned.

  "Oh, okay. Thank you!" He hadn't expected to be able to eat as soon as they arrived, and Mr. Yun had just been thinking of asking the driver to go out for a meal after unloading the goods. Since they helped with the move, he couldn't let them go hungry. "A Dai, A Fei, A Yan, you three go move the boxes to the corridor. You two, just have a simple meal here."

  "Alright, you all go eat. Tiemu and Old Li will move these boxes to the courtyard." Stopping the three from moving, Fu the housekeeper explained, as Tiemu and Amin stepped forward, each carrying a box inside.

  Fu said so, and Master Yun also didn't insist anymore. He led everyone to the dining hall together. On the table, five hot dishes, three cold dishes, and two soups (one meat-based and one vegetarian) were already laid out. After a busy morning, it was almost time for lunch, and everyone was already hungry. They exchanged simple pleasantries and ate quickly.
