Both were quite surprised.
Yuanyuan nodded, "Yeah, I heard it’s because of overwork."
"Didn’t Qingxiang say last ti when he ca back that life over there was pretty good?"
Yuanyuan nodded again, "As long as you’re willing to work on the farm, life should be good, and you can earn quite a bit in a year."
"Then why push themselves so hard?"
"Xiao Li said it was because the old couple wanted to help Zhao Qingjie."
"It’s hard to understand why. Children have their own blessings. Let them pursue things on their own, right?" Hu Haihua sighed.
"Then why didn’t they bring Lixia back? Dying outside, can’t they return to where they grew up?"
Yuanyuan shook her head; she didn’t know. Zhao Yanli didn’t say, so she’s going to see her first this ti. She wants to tell her not to write to her anymore as she won’t easily return to the Capital.
Hu Haihua and Xu Chunjiao both felt sowhat emotionally touched; they were of similar age, yet An Lixia died abroad.
"I wonder if Zhao Tian can co back? Does he want to end up abroad too?" Hu Haihua and Xu Chunjiao discussed.
"With the kids outside, he probably doesn’t want to co back."
"He’s foolish. If it were , I’d rather die here."
"Aunt, you’re thinking too much. You’re in good health, and as you age, you shouldn’t overexert yourselves. Just live like this, and it’s fine, do what you can."
"Yuanyuan, when are you leaving?"
"Leaving tonight; driving at night is cooler. We rest during the day and drive at night."
"Leaving so soon?" Hu Haihua said in surprise and reluctance.
"Yes, taking it slow, exploring around."
Both were reluctant; honestly, Yuanyuan wasn’t much different from their own children to them.
At their age, they knew that after this departure, who knows when they’d et again.
"Yuanyuan, I’ll prepare so food for you to eat on the road," Xu Chunjiao said as she prepared to leave, but Yuanyuan held her back, "Aunt, there’s no need; nothing lasts in this weather."
"You’re right; it’s indeed too hot. Can Xiao Four and Xiao Five manage? The kids will suffer."
"Don’t worry; we’ll rest when it’s hot."
"Yuanyuan, Su Liangliang is really different now."
"That’s good, perhaps he can live well in the second half of life."
Both noticed Yuanyuan didn’t want to talk about Liangliang, so they dropped it.
The three of them chatted on the kang bed, and around four o’clock, the other two went to prepare dinner.
In the eyes of villagers, dumplings are considered the best al.
Yuanyuan didn’t object; it was their way of showing affection.
After dinner, they got into the car and left.
As they left the village, the five children went into the space, and Tan Shaoting drove.
"There are no more attachnts here, right?"
"Of course, there are. When I first ca here, I was causing a fuss every day, thinking if I died, I’d be able to return. The kindness of Hu Haihua and Yang Hongwen made feel warm."
"Life is only a few decades, it’s the sa anywhere."
Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, let it be natural.
By the way, Qi Wen wants to go herb-picking. Do you want to check out that family?"
Tan Shaoting was indifferent, "Even if we et, we might not recognize them. And considering them, it might be nothing special."
"I want to visit Zeng Hongling in the winter; Xinyu is also a part of our bonds."
"Yuanyuan, have you decided?" Tan Shaoting asked.
Yuanyuan didn’t answer; she was internally conflicted now.
In essence, her priority was the children, Qi Wen wanted to return to the Cultivation World, and Qi Yan and Qi Hong didn’t have much opinion.
But the thought of going to a completely unfamiliar place made her quite apprehensive.
"Yuanyuan, you don’t need to force it. I’ll always go with you."
"I can’t be certain now; also, I don’t want the kids to be disappointed."
"What’s there to be disappointed about? Life is tough everywhere; honestly, comparatively, it’s more comfortable here."
"But Qi Wen doesn’t like it here."
"Yuanyuan, it’s your decision. If you want to leave, I think Gu Ersheng can definitely find a solution."
Tan Shaoting felt a bit ashad when he said this, feeling he should have solutions for his own wife and children.
Yuanyuan nodded, "Alright, let’s talk about it later; I need to et all the people I’m close with first."
"Okay, even if we don’t leave, we can travel around to find a place we all like to live."
"Indeed, things in Capital are arranged; last year the seaside issue was settled, and I’ve returned to old ho also. I still need to visit the farm, check the South, and I wish to see Daoist Wan at Shushan."
Tan Shaoting smiled listening to his wife’s complaints. She didn’t even realize she was going through the motions of saying goodbye.
Suddenly, Tan Shaoting slowed down. Yuanyuan knew the situation ahead.
"It’s really speechless, let contact there, tell them to solve this well."
"I’ll take care of it. Tomorrow, I’ll call Hu Zi."
These people didn’t matter to Tan Shaoting; once resolved, he went to the nearby county, directly finding the local police station to tell them to handle the aftermath, then called Hu Zi.
Of course, sothing worthy of rit was ant for his own brother.
Hu Zi was at ho, but soone on duty went to his house and explained the situation.
He felt regret for not getting a call from the boss.
Feng Shanshan was now pregnant; honestly, he felt restless leaving her.
"I’m fine now, not experiencing nausea anymore. Don’t worry about , besides you won’t be out for long?"
"Ugh, even if I go this ti, I wouldn’t et the boss; he must have left after calling."
"It’s good they’re like that. Personal pursuits are different. Alright, go to work, I’m fine."
After calling, Tan Shaoting drove away again.
Yuanyuan already contacted them, letting them know their priorities.
During the day, neither rested; the kids in the space were well-fed and hydrated, Yuanyuan only needed to enter every two hours to feed the two youngest.
By the fourth day, five kids ca out as they entered the city.
Yuanyuan planned to rest here for a while; they were being watched and there was no need to hurry, otherwise it would make people overthink.
Booked a hotel, Qi Yan and the other two went shopping, his brothers joined Qi Wen for fun.
The four of them didn’t go out, holding the children, the hot weather made it uncomfortable for them.
"Ask Qi Wen when they return; if they think it’s nice here, we can stay a few more days."
