Chapter 1104: Arrival
Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: Arrival
"Okay, we’ll head over now."
Wang Er watched as Su Yuanyuan and the others left, shouting that he would bring it over to them later.
Tan Shaoting drove over to call Chengzi. This guy was sitting in the car bored, but got excited upon hearing they could finally enter the village.
Each year, he accompanied his sister-in-law over here, but he actually wanted to ask why she wouldn’t return home.
Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t go back because she was afraid it would be too constraining at home; it was better to see the outside world.
Both cars stopped simultaneously at the old village chief’s house.
The old village chief heard the commotion and came out, seeing Su Yuanyuan’s family, and like everyone else, was first surprised, then happy for her.
It truly wasn’t easy. Wang Er and the others came back and described what they had seen: a woman throwing bombs to the sky like she was risking her life.
But now it’s good. Finally, the family is reunited.
He kept muttering "good".
"Thank you for these years, old village chief. Sorry for the trouble."
The old village chief waved his hand, "No trouble at all."
Tan Shaoting looked at this old man and understood why his wife wanted to personally thank them; they genuinely cared about her.
"Hurry up, come inside."
By this time, the fishermen were already awake, only the little kids were still asleep, but they were being woken up too.
The older ones remembered Qi Yan and them; although they had grown much taller, their looks hadn’t changed.
They stared at Qi Yan and them in astonishment, now wide awake.
The old village chief knew that Su Yuanyuan’s family was different, and wouldn’t ask much as long as they returned. Nothing else really mattered.
"Old village chief, our family came over this time mainly to thank the villagers for their help. Thank you for the five years of care."
The old village chief waved his hand, "Xiao Su, all these years you kept giving money, even bringing in technicians for the village. Now our land is all yielding more.
If we talk about this, we should be thanking you."
The village chief’s daughter-in-law started preparing a meal, calling out her eldest son to get some seafood, knowing that their family loved this stuff.
Wang Er happened to deliver as well. He had a task to attend to and left after saying a word.
"Their father and son came back last year. Because they had been busy, they only now found time."
"Xiao Su, as long as you come back, it’s good."
"Old village chief, I brought a lot of grains. Distribute it among the villagers, please. It’s a token of our family’s gratitude."
The old village chief didn’t decline, smiling and thanking their family.
Qi Yan and the other two sat inside listening to the adults’ conversation.
Breakfast was ready, truly a table full of seafood.
While their family ate, the old village chief arranged for people to unload the car.
After everything was unloaded, they also finished eating.
"Xiao Su, why don’t you stay in the village for a few days? Your house is always being looked after by Feng Shanshan."
"Old village chief, it’s not very convenient here. We’ll be leaving soon. If there’s anything, you can find me at the sanatorium; they know how to reach me."
The old village chief nodded with a smile.
Su Yuanyuan’s family returned to their house here.
"Mom, you truly know how to make a home anywhere."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Because it’s genuinely inconvenient living in someone else’s house. Back then, your Aunt Zeng and I stayed at the sanatorium, but some were dissatisfied. So we simply moved here, initially renting someone’s newly built house."
"Mom, who is Feng Shanshan?"
"She’s just someone from this village; you’ll know when you see her."
Feng Shanshan was already a twenty-three-year-old young woman. Here is different from the world she used to stay in, and it should be different from her world too.
Perhaps ask her today if she still wants to live here.
She’s a simple-hearted girl, and Su Yuanyuan wishes for the best for her.
The six of them reached the gate. Su Yuanyuan had the key and opened the door to find the yard lush and green.
It was genuinely quite nice, and it looked particularly orderly.
"Mom, there are even cucumbers."
"If you want to eat them, go pick some."
Qi Hong laughed and went inside. He picked one for each person.
As they opened the door, there was no musty smell at all, and it was quite clean.
"Mom, it’s really not bad here."
"Yes, but when we leave this time, let’s give this house away. Our chances of coming back aren’t high."
Of course, Tan Shaoting and the children had no objections. Whatever wife and mom decided was fine.
They walked around inside and outside, feeling the vegetables were really well-planted.
Just when their family was about to leave, they heard someone calling from behind.
Feng Shanshan had actually known about Su Yuanyuan’s family arrival in the morning, but she was timid around Tan Shaoting and was hesitating on whether to come.
In the end, she gritted her teeth, asked for leave, and came over. She wanted to leave here, but couldn’t do it without meeting Su Yuanyuan once more.
Tan Shaoting had long taken notice of this woman, but now he didn’t find it strange, especially since his wife had a good impression of her. So he’d pretend not to know her.
"Feng Shanshan."
"Su Yuanyuan."
Both of them smiled, "Congratulations."
"Thank you. Oh, I’ve been looking for you too, I don’t plan to keep this house. If you want it, it’s yours. If not, I’ll give it to Wang Er."
Feng Shanshan smiled and shook her head, "Su Yuanyuan, I want to leave here. So I don’t need the house."
Su Yuanyuan smiled, sensing what the young woman felt.
"Where do you want to go?"
"I’ve been studying, hoping to pass exams to get out."
"That’s indeed the most proper route. I’ll be waiting for you in the Capital."
Feng Shanshan looked a bit conflicted, her face showing it.
In the end, she still decided to speak, "Su Yuanyuan, I don’t want to go to the Capital. I just want to find a small city to settle down."
Su Yuanyuan patted her shoulder, "Don’t be afraid, no one will find out. But how you decide is your own business."
"I’ll think about it."
"Then goodbye. I’ll give you my number. You can contact me when you reach the Capital."
"Okay." Feng Shanshan took out her key and handed it to Su Yuanyuan.
The family walked ahead, "Mom, I didn’t notice there was anything special about her."
"Nature reflects the heart. She’s inherently a person of gentle disposition."
They returned to the old village chief’s house once again. Su Yuanyuan took out the key and the original documents.
"Old village chief, it’s a pity to keep this house idle. I want to give it to Wang Er. What do you think?"
Over the years, Wang Er had always taken good care of her. This was her token of gratitude.
The old village chief nodded, "That sounds great, I’ll thank you on behalf of Wang Er."
Su Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head, "Then we’ll be off."
They still wanted the kids to rest for a while.
Chengzi drove the truck leading the way. This time, they planned to stay a few days at the sanatorium.
