Chapter Eighty Satisfaction

  The two men pulled the reins tightly and the horse carriage stopped by the street. After jumping down from the carriage, they respectfully said to the person inside: "Young master, we have arrived."

  In a moment, Wang Zihan poked his head out of the carriage and made eye contact with the ox cart behind him. The two of them understood each other's intentions, and he quickly ran to help Chen Tianfa pull the cart.

  After Wang Han jumped down, he also carried his sister down from the car. After Wang Wan Ying landed, she asked her brother, "Where's Xi Mei? Why hasn't Xi Mei come yet?"

  Wang Zihan smiled slightly and didn't say anything. She just turned her head to look back, and then followed her brother's line of sight.

  Sister Xi is currently sitting on an ox cart, slowly making her way over here.

  Wang Zihan looked at his own sister's excited little face flushing, and squatted down to ask her: "Yingying, many girls have come to our house to play with you, why do you like playing with Ximiao so much?"

  Wang Wanying thought for a moment, then shook her head and said softly, "I don't know either."

  Looking at his sister's red face, Wang Ziheng didn't say anything, he just helped her pull out the wrinkles in her clothes caused by sitting in a carriage.

  Then, holding her small hand, he walked in the direction of Chen's father and daughter, looked at the cow cart that had been settled, and said, "Uncle Chen, look, I told you this is the place, come on, let's go take a look inside."

  After finishing speaking, he went in first, and Chen Tianfa pulled Xi Mei's hand and also stepped inside. Before entering the door, Xi Mei looked around at the surroundings.

  Nodding while watching, the little ghost said with a big tone, not bad, really not bad. The surrounding crowd was in an uproar, people coming and going, without saying anything else, even the bluestone road on the street was wider than elsewhere.

  The cries of the vendors on the street stalls rose and fell, selling food, selling cloth, selling rouge and powder, all kinds of voices gathered together. What a lively scene.

  After stepping over the threshold, the interior of the shop presents a different scene. In the center of the hall are several dark brown square tables, which, in the empty room, neither seem excessive nor monotonous, but simply decorated, yet with another flavor.

  Just as Wang Zihan was introducing the layout of the house to several people, a figure hastily came in from the backyard and rushed forward to greet them when he saw their silhouettes.

  "How many of you have arrived? Look at me, I haven't even come out to greet everyone..."

  Chen Tian waved his hand hastily and said repeatedly, "Nothing, nothing."

  He glanced at Wang Zihan, seeing that he didn't say anything. The middle-aged man's face improved a bit, and explained, "Everyone has seen the appearance of the front shop, next I'll take everyone to the backyard to take a look."

  After finishing speaking, he led everyone to the backyard. Chen Tianfa and others walked far away before realizing that Xi Mei was not following up. Turning his head back to Xi Mei, who was still looking around, he shouted, "Girl, hurry up and follow us, or else you'll be kidnapped by a beggar."

  Sister Xi can't help it, this dad is really something. These two days don't know what's wrong with him. He actually scared himself, thinking he's a kid who doesn't understand anything.

  Although she thought so, she didn't dare to hesitate. She hastily responded with a "Yes, Father, I'm coming right away."

  The middle-aged man heard this energetic and loud voice, turned to Chen Tian with a smile and said, "Brother, you are really lucky. Your son is not only the best among men, but also this little girl. She will be an extraordinary person in the future."

  Chen Tianfa's greatest pleasure in life was to hear others praise his children, especially the youngest daughter. This would make him smile so much that his eyes would narrow into a slit, and he would say modestly, "Oh, it's nothing."

  Wang Zihan also felt deeply after listening, this little girl, isn't she a sly and cunning one?

  He led them to the backyard, and the middle-aged man pointed at the well in the yard with a smile: "You see, this well will never dry up no matter how dry the weather is, and the water is so sweet."

  Rui Hao looked at Jingkou in surprise, his face incredulous. "Uncle, is this true? Really, really won't wither?"

  Look at this kid, so excited he's stuttering.

  Several adults couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight of him. The man patted his head, chuckling and said, "Little guy, see that big tree over there?"

  Rui Hao looked in the direction he was pointing, nodded, "I see it, what's up?" The tree didn't have anything special about it, it was just a bit bigger, with more luxuriant branches and leaves.

  The middle-aged man continued, "This tree is so big, you can swing on it, how come you don't like it?"

  Ruihao disdainfully said, "Who likes swinging on a swing? That's a game for little girls, I'm a man, I don't play with that stuff."

  He paused for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Right, I'm not playing, but big sister, Xi Mei and the others can play, right?"

  Ran to the front of the tree, joyfully looking at the big tree, and shouted to Chen Tian, "Dad, this yard is great, I like this yard."

  A middle-aged man silently thought to himself, how can you not like it? The young master of the house had been acting strangely for the past two days, running around and asking people to find him a house. He would turn up his nose at houses that were too small, and complain about those that were too old, making things difficult for everyone involved.

  Although he thought so in his heart, there was no expression on his face. He still smiled and introduced, "Big brother, look, that side is the stable, that side is the guest room."

  After one circle, good guy, not only did the Chen family have their own house, but also had several guest rooms, not to mention the kitchen and toilet. It's simply complete with everything.

  Pushing open the back door, it's a bustling market, Chen Tian nods in satisfaction.

  No matter how many happy and joyful sisters ran around, Chen Tianfa was uneasy, rubbing his hands together and stammering, "This... the yard is so big, I reckon it'll cost a lot of silver, won't it?"

  "This?" The middle-aged man frowned, his eyelids slightly drooping, his eyes darting towards his own master.

  "Cough, Uncle Chen, don't ask about this money for now..." Wang Ziheng said.

  Before he could finish speaking, Chen Tian interrupted him, "How can this be? We had already agreed at the time that we wouldn't spend a single penny on this house, and there's no way we would move in."

  Looking at Chen Tian's firm expression, Wang Ziheng spoke up to salvage the situation, "It's like this, Uncle Chen, let's not talk about the money for now."

  Looking at the man who was about to say something, Wang Zihan explained, "This money is not saying that you are not allowed to go out, but it has to wait until the end of the year when we divide the bonus, and then calculate it together. Do you think this is okay?"

  After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Tianfa with a nervous expression.

  Chen Tian thought for a moment, and now the spare money at home is not much, buying this house is far from enough. Moreover, if the whole family goes to town, they won't eat or drink?

  Besides, the child's mother still wants to send Eldest to school, how can they afford it?

  "After struggling for half a day, he finally opened his mouth and said, 'If that's the case, then I'll listen to Young Master Wang.'"

  Finally settled the Chen family's patriarch, Wang Ziheng let out a deep breath of relief. Now that's good, the Chen family moved to the town, not only is the production of pickled eggs guaranteed, but also Xi Jiu can be under her own eyes.

  Struggling to suppress his joy, Wang Zihan cleared his throat and said to him, "That's Chen Shu. The shop looks good, shall we go take a look at the pickled egg workshop?"

  Chen Tianfa was in a good mood and had no reason to refuse. He urged several people to take him to see the house.

  Wang Yan looked at the children playing in the yard and discussed with Chen Tian, "This road is not very close. Why don't we let them play here while we go ahead?"

  Chen Tian thought for a moment and agreed. Let the few kids play here, they can't help much even if they go, just making trouble.

  "Well, in that case. Let them stay here then, and please ask Young Master Wang to trouble himself a bit more." Chen Tianfa said with concern.

  The prince smiled slightly and said in a loud voice, "Needless to say? Uncle Chen, let's go?"

  After finishing, several people accompanied each other to walk out. Before leaving, they entrusted the middle-aged person who had just spoken to find two young maidservants to accompany them and go to Ruyi Teahouse to buy some high-quality dim sum.

  A middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and waited until their figures disappeared. Then he also set out to do the things that his young master had just entrusted him with.

  At this time, Xi Mei and her second brother Wang Wan Ying had already begun planning how to divide the yard in the future.

  He propped his face with his hand. He drew on the ground with a small stick, and muttered to himself, "The front shop is not good, we have to set up a counter there, so it's convenient to collect money."

  Yeah, this problem is solved, but for such a big store, selling only pickled eggs seems like a waste.

  If we were to start something new, wouldn't Mom and Dad be too tired?

  This won't work either, and neither will that, Little Ya gradually fell into anxiety.

  "Xi Mei, Xi Mei?" Wang Wan saw Xi Mei talking to herself and occasionally pulling her hair, wanting to go forward and ask.

  She hadn't even reached her side when she felt herself being pulled back by another force. Turning her head, it turned out that Ruihao had grabbed onto her.

  With a questioning expression, Wang Wan Ying looked at him suspiciously. Rui Hao shrugged and explained helplessly, "Don't mind Xi Mei, she's always like this when she's at home. If you disturb her, she might even get angry with you."

  One sentence scared the little girl and she didn't dare to come forward and disturb him anymore.

  It took a long time for Xi Mei to lift her head, and she rubbed her temples as if to vent, saying "Oh dear, I'm so annoyed. Forget it, forget it. Let's go home and discuss it with Dad and Mom."

  After finishing speaking, she started playing with the two of them. When the three people were panting and out of breath, there was finally a movement at the door. Xi Mei happily ran out, shouting "Dad is back, Dad is back."

  Chen Tian's face was flushed with excitement, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her little daughter rushing towards her. She bent down and scooped up Xi Mei in her arms, teasing her "Has Xi Mei been listening obediently? Has she caused any trouble?"

  Sister hugged her father's neck and said, "Dad, I'm so obedient." Then the topic turned around, "However, Dad, we should go back now, it's so late, Mom will be worried."

  Chen Tianfa slapped his own head and exclaimed: "Isn't it? It's already this late, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late."

  Turning around to bid farewell to Wang's siblings, Wang Wan Ying looked at Xi Mei and was about to leave again, her eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

  Her sister comforted her by saying that she would move to the town in a couple of days, so they could see each other every day from then on. Only then did the little girl burst into tears and smile.

  At this time, just as Xi Mei had sat on the ox cart, she suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Several people hastily asked her what was wrong.

  Xi Mei felt embarrassed to take out the things her mother had prepared for the Zhang family from the car, and said with shame: "Mother repeatedly told me to give things to Brother Zhang and them, I, I forgot."

  Wang Zihan smiled and comforted her, "It's just a small matter, don't worry, Xi Mei. I'll drop it off at my cousin's place on my way later."

  Thus, Chen Tianfa thanked them repeatedly, and finally, under the reluctant gaze of Wang's siblings, the ox cart slowly disappeared into the distance...
