Chapter Eighty-two Rushing Towards New Life

  "He's back! Father is back!" accompanied by loud shouts, Chen Tianfa followed Ruihao into the yard.

  Zhao put down his work and quickly went out to greet him, asking repeatedly: "How is it? What did Father say?"

  Chen Tianfa didn't say anything, but the look of loss on his face said it all. Zhao's joyful expression also slowly disappeared, but he still forced a smile and comforted him, saying "It's no big deal, if we don't go, then we just won't go."

  Several children also gathered around him, holding his hands and giving silent comfort.

  Just as the courtyard was quiet, Chen Tianfa suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha, you've all been fooled? Dad and mom have agreed, I was just teasing you guys."

  As soon as the words fell, he was slapped on the back and Zhao scolded, "How old are you now, still playing such jokes, aren't you ashamed?"

  After finishing speaking, she turned her body and went into the house to pack up her things.

  "Ah ah......" Seeing his wife walk away like that, Chen Tian became anxious, thinking that the joke he made earlier had angered her, and hurriedly followed behind to explain.

  Seeing their own father's cowardly appearance, the children all burst out laughing. Zhao turned his head to take a look and found that he was following closely behind him, just like a tail.

  The children were also watching the two of them with amusement, and in an instant a red glow flew up to her face. Zhao scolded him, saying "You're so old, yet you've lived a useless life, just making fools of yourselves in front of the kids."

  Chen Tianfa's face was expressionless, "Just watch then, it's also a good opportunity for those two kids to learn."

  Seeing Zhao's puzzled face, Chen Tianfa leaned in close and explained, "After learning, how to care for your wife."

  He gave him a hard punch and Zhao's family blushed and went into the house, Chen Tianfa saw it and followed in with a smile.

  After watching the 'interaction' between her own father and mother in the courtyard, Xi Mei stretched out a lazy waist and said, "Everyone, brothers and sisters, I'm feeling a bit sleepy now, so I'll go lie down on the bed for a while. You all do as you please."

  After finishing speaking, he swaggered back to his own house and went to sleep.

  Joke, in two days I'll probably be busy to the point where I won't even know my east from west. When am I supposed to sleep? Don't look at her size, she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

  Only a few kids were reluctant to spend such a good time sleeping, and they all went out. You might ask what they are going to do?

  Hmph, of course I'm going to say goodbye to my little buddies!

  In less than half a day's time, half of the people in Zhoujia Village knew that the Chen family was going to move to the town.

  For a moment, envied and jealous. Saying cool words, endless in ears, but all are small abacus in each other's hearts, no one has shown it.

  In the yard of Chen's family, batch after batch of people came in an endless stream. Everyone knew they were going to move away later, so they took their own things and came to see them.

  Some congratulated them, saying that from now on, the whole family would be prosperous. Others sourly said to people around them, "What's so great about this? The younger brother of their paternal uncle's wife's nephew is also in town, and he's doing very well."

  Some even said that when Chen's family became prosperous, they shouldn't forget about them and should go to the town to rely on them whenever they had time.

  What's even more interesting is an old lady with a face full of wrinkles, who grabbed Chen Tianfa's hand and said, "How come you look so much like my little son who went missing many years ago?"

  The whole afternoon, the Chen family was in a state of coming and going. Zhao took the opportunity to rub her stiff face with a smile, and glared at Chen's father and daughter with a fierce gaze.

  She glared at her. Xi Mei was wronged, "Mom! It's not like I invited him over, why are you glaring at me? Besides, he's the pitiful one."

  No matter which aunt or woman comes, she has to pinch her own face and praise her by saying "What a lovely girl!"

  She still feels wronged.

  Finally, when the last ray of sunlight was about to disappear, the women suddenly remembered that they hadn't cooked dinner yet and stood up one after another to bid farewell to Zhao's family.

  After seeing off the last batch of people, several members of the Chen family sat on the bench, too tired to get up.

  Ruihao still had a lingering fear and said: "Women are really too scary, I'll keep a distance from them from now on."

  Feeling his face burning, Ruihao suddenly realized that there were still several girls sitting next to him, no wonder he felt something was off.

  Ignoring Ruihao's guilty conscience, Zhao Shi asked Chen Tianfa: "Dad, do you think our parents mean we can't go with them?"

  Chen Tianfa helplessly put down what was in his hand and sighed, "Father's meaning is that he doesn't want to drag you down with him."

  Seeing Zhao's anxious desire to speak, he explained again, "My parents have also lived in the village for most of their lives, and suddenly letting them out, they are not used to it either."

  "What about Father's illness? It's not a solution for him to stay in the village all the time." Zhao was worried.

  "Who says it isn't?" Chen Tian suddenly understood why his older brother always wanted to smoke, now he also wanted to take a couple of puffs, his heart was really too anxious.

  Counting down the days until the good news of the birth of a younger sister, hearing her parents worrying about this matter, she patted her own clothes and snuggled into Zhao's arms to come up with a plan.

  "Dad, don't worry, we can settle down first and then come back to pick up Grandpa and the others. When Grandpa's illness is cured, he can live wherever he wants. If he gets tired of living at our place, it's okay, he can come to the village to live for a few days. If he gets tired of the village, he can come to the town to live for a few days."

  Chen's husband and wife heard this, their eyes lit up, yes, why didn't they think of this method?

  Chen Tianfa was even more exaggerated, and with one hand, he lifted up Xi Mei to the top of his head. "My dear daughter is so smart, come let me see, why are you so smart?"

  Xi Mei also cooperated with a loud laugh, Zhao Shi said with a smile: "Alright, alright, put her down quickly. In our family, the old don't have the air of the old, and the young don't have the air of the young."

  After they had made enough noise, Xikui asked, "Dad, if we leave, will our land still be cultivated?"

  Chen Tianfa slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no, how could I have forgotten such an important thing? Right, what about our five mu of land?"

  Rui Xuan thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Dad and mom, don't worry about this. We can let Uncle and Aunt's family farm the land first if we're not at home. If that doesn't work out, Aunt Qian will be happy to rent our land."

  "Yes, that's it." Zhao agreed, "It's not good to say other things, but this matter doesn't need to be worried about, no one will think it's too much."

  "Mother, otherwise let's give our family's land to Aunt Qian's family to cultivate. Brother Hu's appetite is big, so Aunt Qian won't have to worry about not having enough food at home." Ruihao said with a understanding tone.

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman's voice came from the courtyard, "Who is talking about me? I can hear very clearly in the courtyard."

  "It's Aunt Qian who has come."

  "Aunt Qian is here." Several children rushed out of the house to find Aunt Qian, and Zhao followed the children out of the house and saw a woman standing in the courtyard.

  "What wind blew you here today?" Zhao stepped forward and greeted him. It had been a long time since he saw his old neighbor again.

  Qian patted the children's heads and grumbled at Zhao, "Hmph, you still remember me? I thought you had long forgotten about me."

  Zhao quickly stepped forward a few steps and said, "Look at what you're saying, I forgot who can't forget you."

  As he spoke, he pulled her towards the house.

  Qian Shi said, "Alright, you're still thinking about me? If Tiger hadn't just told me that your whole family is going to town, I'd still be in the dark."

  Xi Mei Xi He nodded beside her, and upon seeing this, Madam Zhao hastily chased them away, "Shoo, go play elsewhere, don't cause trouble for others."

  The two sisters covered their mouths and giggled, then ran off quietly.

  Watching them run far away, Zhao continued the topic they had just discussed.

  "You also know, these two days have been busy, right? I just forgot to greet you, originally wanted to tell you this afternoon, but then a big group of people came, and before I knew it, I had forgotten about the matter."

  Seeing Zhao's forehead sweating profusely, Qian couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore, look how tense you are."

  After both of them sat down on the edge of the bed, Qian Shi continued to say, "What did you just say? I just heard you mention me?"

  Zhao's mouth pursed, "I just discussed with the master of the house, is it possible to let your family plant that one mu of land by the river first?"

  Qian's eyes widened in surprise, "Really? That's great..."

  Just when she was getting into it, Zhao poured cold water on her, "That's just now, what should I think of?"

  I heard that Zhao's mind has changed, Qian was flustered, "Don't be like this, you were just saying it was fine a moment ago!"

  Looking at her sweating profusely, Zhao couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, I was just teasing you, look how scared you are."

  In the courtyard, looking at the two people chatting happily, Chen Tianfa couldn't bear to disturb them. The child's mother hadn't been so relaxed in a long time. Forget it, there wasn't much time left anyway, let them have a good chat.

  Looking at the two sons beside him who were also suffering, he said helplessly: "Why don't we go visit your uncles' place too? It's been a long time since we last went to their house."

  This proposal was unanimously adopted by the sons, and after explaining it to Zhao's family, the three of them went out for a stroll.

  In just a few days, this batch of pine eggs will be ready.

  After the porters had taken everything away, Xi Mei knew they should also leave.

  After all, they've been urging for some time now over there.

  On this day, after a family had packed up their belongings and loaded them onto the horse-drawn carriage sent by the Wang and Zhang families, they all stood still at the gate.

  Xī Jiě knew that her father had deliberately not let the family come to see her off, just because he was afraid of crying non-stop when they parted ways. But now, with no one in front of her, why were her eyes still feeling a little hot?

  "Let's go." Zhao patted Chen Tianfa's shoulder and got on the carriage first. Chen Tianfa took a last look at the house he had lived in for over a decade, gritted his teeth, and followed suit.

  A loud crack of the whip echoed through the village, and the wheels of the carriage slowly began to turn. Xi Mei lifted the curtain for one last look at the distant Zhou family village, a tear rolling down her cheek.

  Several children were silent, and Zhao's family held Xi Mei also did not speak.

  At this time, a brand new life is waiting for their arrival in the distance...
