He Lixuan stayed outside for more than an hour before returning.

Moreover, he didn't come back alone; He Liping came back with him on another trip.

Hearing the two brothers talking in hushed tones in the yard, pacing back and forth, and making clanging noises in the kitchen, Shiyue couldn't stay in bed any longer. She got up and left the house.

As she was leaving, He Liping was about to go when he saw her wave and said, "Shiyue, I've moved all your things into the house. Don't think too much about it. Get some sleep, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Shiyue didn't respond to that, but just smiled at him.

He Liping left, and He Lixuan also came out of the kitchen.

He first locked the kitchen door, then carried a sack of flour and went back into the house with Shiyue.

As soon as she got close, Shiyue smelled the distinctive salty and fishy smell of seafood coming from the bag.

She couldn't help but ask, "What are you holding?"

"The supplies you ordered earlier have been delivered by the supply ship today."

Shiyue was a little surprised.

The two deliveries she had previously sent were both addressed to Huo Bai. Now that Huo Bai hasn't come home yet, how can the packages be delivered?

He Lixuan explained, "It's probably because the person who was helping Huo Bai collect the goods knew that the supply ship would be delivering the goods ahead of schedule this week, so they sent the goods over and asked them to bring them over as well."

The person on the ship who accepted the commission didn't see you and gave the items to the older brother.

There are too many people during the day, so my brother can't easily deliver it to our area. That's why he sent me over to pick it up.

He Lixuan handed the cloth bag to Shiyue and asked, "Do you want to put it on the shelf in your space first?"

Shiyue did not reach out to take it.

Although the matter was quite urgent, she had absolutely no interest in it at the moment.

She lazily lay back down on the bed and said, "Tomorrow, I don't have the energy today."

He Lixuan knew what she was thinking, so he didn't force her. He simply put his things aside and lay down next to her.

Afterwards, He Lixuan said, "Have I ever told you about our home in Jiannan?"

Shiyue turned her head to look at her husband, a little confused as to why he had brought this up.

But she still replied, "I haven't said much about it."

He Lixuan put his hands under his head and said calmly, "We've been to Uncle Shen's old house at school, but my house is not the same as Uncle Shen's house."

Jiannan University was established after my parents returned home. It can be said that every brick, tile, and tree there embodies the hard work and dedication of my parents and other pioneers like them.

Building a new campus takes a lot of effort, but it also has the advantage of allowing you to freely express your ideas on that unpainted canvas.

The house I live in, although it can't be called a villa, is very beautifully designed.

It is a red two-story building, and only two families live in the building. My family lives on the second floor.

Our house has a large viewing balcony, a beautiful study, and the room I live in has a large glass window that overlooks the lake.

I was born there, I grew up there, and all my beautiful memories are held there.

He Lixuan fell silent at this point.

Shiyue instantly understood the unspoken meaning in her husband's words.

That small building, the home in He Lixuan's heart, is no longer there.

The house was taken back, and the family was evicted from it.

He Lixuan's home is different from his own.

Ultimately, their land was allocated to them by the team, unless the government introduces a policy to reclaim that homestead.

As long as this policy doesn't exist, that place belongs to them.

He Lixuan's home was originally a faculty dormitory.

Now that it's been taken back, there's virtually no chance of returning it to them.

Unless their father goes back to be the principal, and unless the house is not reassigned to anyone else in the meantime.

But the chances of their father going back to be the principal are slim.

Not to mention that society will not give him this opportunity, even if he were to receive another invitation in the future, given Shi Yue's understanding of He Siyi, that person would not turn back.

No one is truly strong enough to be completely indifferent to the harm they have suffered.

That means He Lixuan's memory of home can never be revisited.

Shiyue reached out and placed her hand in her husband's large palm, interlocking their fingers.

She said, "I understand what you mean. Out with the old, in with the new. When better days come, we'll go back and rebuild the house exactly as it is now, without any difference!"

He Lixuan smiled and patted his wife's head reassuringly.

Shiyue shifted her body, nestled her head into her husband's shoulder, and asked, "He Lixuan, who do you think would do this to my family? What deep-seated hatred could they possibly have to destroy our family so completely?"

He Lixuan is also thinking about this issue.

His older brother just called him out to talk about this.

He Liping meant for him to come back and persuade Shiyue not to rush into a tantrum.

After all, the mountains and rivers are far away, and even if you get angry to death, it's really hard to do anything to those people.

Rather than getting angry and harming your health, it's better to endure it first.

While we may tolerate it, we still need to figure out the real reason behind all of this.

I'm not afraid of thieves stealing from me, but I'm afraid of thieves eyeing me.

If you don't know who's behind it all, you'll always be on the defensive.

The two brothers talked a lot. He Lixuan thought of everyone he could think of who might hate Shiyue, but in the end he still couldn't come up with a conclusion.

If we're talking about who hates Shiyue the most, it has to be Sun Chengcai's family.

It is common knowledge that Sun Chengcai and Shiyue have a grudge.

Including his wife Yang Tingting, who had a long-standing feud with Shiyue.

After all, the reason her father, Yang Jianye, was suspended from his post for investigation was because of her and her husband.

Although Yang Jianye may not have thought of the two of them, who can say for sure about many things?

What if? What if he finds out?

However, He Lixuan couldn't be sure if it was this family.

He just asked Qian Feiyue, who told him that Sun Cheng and Yang Tingting were still looking at the bridge and he hadn't heard any news about them returning to the commune.

As for Yang Tingting's family, they probably haven't contacted her either, otherwise they wouldn't have left her in such a terrible environment without caring about her.

He looks like an abandoned child who has been left behind by his family.

If that's the case, then their family shouldn't have the resources to cause so much trouble.

Thinking of this, He Lixuan patted his wife and said, "Mom's condition has improved a lot recently, and she can remember many things. Do you want to consider taking that wooden box to show her?"

Shiyue looked up: "Do you think the family's affairs are related to that wooden box?"

“Uncertain, but possible,” He Lixuan said.

This is the only clue he can think of that might be related to the matter.
