Chapter 166 Family Relocation
After the New Year, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Zhang family moved.
Aunt Qiao was reluctant to sell the home where she had lived for half her life, so she packed up all the messy things and mailed them to Shanghai. The brothers covered the furniture with cloth, locked the door, and left home completely.
Everyone in the team came to see them off. Zhang Heping had been the team leader for so many years and had never taken a penny from the public. Every year, their team paid the most grain. The villagers had enough food to eat and slept soundly. No one had ever been hungry.
Zhou Yan drove a tractor to take the Zhang family to the train station. Ten adults and seven children boarded the train. Su Man looked at her little daughter in her arms and smiled with relief.
Five years ago, she was still the one who was kicked out by her husband's family and had to bow her head in her parents' home. She was bullied by her sister-in-law, despised by her brother, and even her own mother didn't like her. She felt that life was particularly meaningless.
But later she met He Hua, and through He Hua she met Xia Wanyang. It was that kind and beautiful girl who took them both back to the countryside and gave them advice on how to make money. Later, she developed feelings for Zhang Shifeng during their interactions, and they gradually got together.
Now her life is complete. Not only has she given birth to her own flesh and blood, but she has also moved to a big city. Although it's a daughter, her husband's family has many grandchildren and has never asked her to give birth to a son. Her husband understands her feelings, dotes on her, and is of one mind with her. What else does she want in life?
Yuan Hong was also full of gratitude. Her husband had retired from the army and took care of her and her child every day. He would come back with bags of things for her and her child after every trip. After a while, he would even bring her parents to the city. She must have done great deeds in her previous life to be so lucky in this life.
He Hua was pulled by her two sons, forcing her to ask who she loved the most. With a helpless look on her face, He Hua kissed each of them, "You are both my good children. I love you both the most!"
She never felt that the third child was a burden. Both children were theirs. Zhang Shijing was good to her and put her first in everything. She would naturally be good to his son. Now she is in college, and no matter what she does in the future, she will have a bright future.
Zhang Shiye looked at his family and his eyes suddenly turned red. Nothing was more important than a family being together and healthy. He married the white moonlight of his heart in his previous life. After marrying him, the little girl was filial to her parents, friendly to her brothers, treated his family as her own, and accompanied him in his travels around the world. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Zhang Heping also smiled with relief. His sons had their own careers, happy families, and many children and grandchildren. Even if he were to close his eyes now, he would have no regrets.
The only one who felt bad was Zhang Shijing. Li Ling ran away, and his daughter Huahua returned to the Li family. Not only did she have to do a lot of work every day, but because of their hatred for Li Ling, the two old people in the Li family also treated her badly. He had secretly visited her in the past few days, and several times he wanted to run over and take her away with him, but Huahua was spoiled by Li Ling, and the Zhang family would not accept her.
So Zhang Shijing found Aunt Ding, whose husband was the new village chief. He gave her one hundred yuan, hoping that she could take better care of Huahua in the village in the future. Aunt Ding agreed and told him not to worry, she would keep an eye on the Li family.
Huahua is his daughter. No matter how bad she becomes, as a father he hopes that his daughter can have a good ending.
The family returned to Shanghai happily. Zhang Heping and his wife lived on the first floor, and the eldest brother's family moved to the third floor. The room suddenly became tight, and Xia Wanyang ran non-stop to several families who wanted to buy a house.
One family will be taken by relatives to live abroad, and the other two families will move to the south to live with their children. The three houses are similar in structure to the small Western-style building she lives in now, with a front yard and a back yard, and are all three-story.
The house now is more expensive than when she bought it. In the end, she spent nearly 100,000 yuan to buy all three buildings. The owner is Zhang Shiye. The nearest one belongs to their neighbor. Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth the money.
She and Zhang Shiye are husband and wife, and all the money is in her space, but in Xia Wanyang's heart, men are the pillars and heads of the family. Only with Zhang Shiye around, her life is happy and fulfilling.
The three houses have been allocated. The eldest brother's family of five lives with his parents, the second brother's family lives in one house, the third brother's family lives in one house, and the one they live in now is her and Zhang Shiye's.
In the next few days, Xia Wanyang took her three sisters-in-law around to look for carpenters to make furniture and buy things. The sisters-in-law had saved a lot of money in the past two years, and they did not allow Xia Wanyang to spend a penny on anything.
Ten days before school started, several families were finally settled, and the whole family had a happy reunion dinner at the eldest brother's house.
A week before school started, Zhang Shiye took Xia Wanyang to Beijing again. Ding Yi reopened the black market last year, and the authorities turned a blind eye and no longer managed it so strictly.
Zhang Shiye had a secret talk with Ding Yi for the entire morning, telling him all the plans for the next few years. In his previous life, Ding Yi was his most loyal right-hand man, and Zhang Shiye believed that human nature could not change no matter what time it was.
After talking to him, Ding Yi was full of enthusiasm for the future. He didn't expect that an opportunity that year not only cured his Xiaojiu, but also gave him a different path.
After Xia Wanyang went to the courtyard to collect the money, the two of them hurried to Chen City. Zhang Shiye had been growing crops in the land in the space, but he had not sold them in the past few years, and the crops had piled up into a small mountain.
Zhang Shiye found the black market boss and sold him 100,000 kilograms of grain at one time, at 1.2 yuan per kilogram. In one go, he earned back the money he had spent on buying three houses.
When they returned to Shanghai, there was only one day left before school started. They went to their eldest brother's house to pick up Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Yueyue. Unexpectedly, the two children refused at the same time, "Dad, I won't go back. I want to stay and play with my brothers. We have to live in the same room at night!"
Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "Don't let them go back. The third, fourth, and fifth kids all live here. This place has become a nest for kids. Your dad has been free these days, so he built two swings for them on the trees in the back garden. Today he even mentioned that he would make wooden toys for them. The kids have a good relationship, so they can stay here if they want!"
Zhang Shiye was extremely happy. After school started, he would be busy with formalities and go to school at the same time, and he really didn't have the energy to take care of other things.
Xia Wanyang was a little embarrassed, "Mom, thank you. We originally wanted you and Dad to come and enjoy life, but we didn't expect that we would have to let you take care of the children. If you are tired, tell me and I will find a red education class for them to go!"
Aunt Qiao looked angry and said, "I and your father are at home, as well as your eldest and second sisters-in-law. With so many people, can't we take care of a few children?"
Zhang Shiye quickly apologized with a smile, "Okay, you are the most capable. Let's go back. We have to go to school tomorrow!"
