Chapter 402 The Xia Family Leaves Shangfen Brigade 01

Yu Rujia: "Your job doesn't have the same freedom as mine. Don't worry, I'll figure out how to go back to Beijing. I'll be back in less than two years. Just wait for me at home."

Han Meifeng is a public servant who works at least eight hours a day. How could a lazy person like her endure that kind of hardship?

She now works from home, seeing no more than thirty patients a month.

Of course, there wouldn't be that many patients in Shangfen Brigade. Most of them are patients who come from other brigades or towns because of her reputation.

The workload of treating thirty patients, plus the collection and preparation of medicinal herbs, would only take a few days.

With Duoshou, the "little miracle doctor" in the eyes of outsiders, there was even more free time.

Aside from seeing doctors and taking medicine, I can arrange the rest of my time as I please, which is very free.

Her monthly income is no less than Gao Shujing's, after all, her income comes from the team, the town hospital, and the medical fees she receives from her own treatment.

Not being managed and earning a good income—this is the job that suits her best.

Gao Shujing then advised, "Mom, our family's class status has been changed, and the political climate will become more and more open in the future. There will definitely be big moves in the next two years, and we will find the right opportunity to go back."

On the other side, Xia Jingsheng was talking to his two sons, Duofu and Duoxi.

Xia Jingsheng: "Duofu, Duoxi, you two come back to Beijing with your father. The educational environment there is better. You two are both smart children. It's my fault for letting you waste so many years in the countryside."

“Now that Dad is free, I can take you back to Beijing and give you a better life. You are only teenagers, and there is still time for you to develop yourselves.”

A hint of reluctance flashed across Duofu's face. He was happy that his father had regained his freedom, but he didn't want to leave his aunt.

Duoxi was an outgoing person, and upon hearing this, he immediately expressed his thoughts.

Duoxi: "Dad, I don't want to leave Auntie. If Auntie goes back to Beijing, I'll go back too. If Auntie doesn't go back, I won't go back either. Besides, my little sister is here. I want to be there for her as she grows up."

As soon as Xia Yuanqiang entered the door, he hugged Duoyi, the family's beloved pet.

Duoyi was an obedient child. After receiving her father's instructions, she stayed quietly in Xia Yuanqiang's arms.

Hearing his fourth brother say "little sister," the little guy knew he was being called, and his two chubby little arms started moving with a huff, and he said softly, "Brother, brother, brother."

At ten months old, Duoyi can already walk a few steps and utter a few words.

Xia Yuanqiang's face wrinkled with kindness: "Duoyi wants to go find her brother, right? Come on, Grandpa will put you down, no rush."

Duo Yi's chubby little face beamed at him with a big smile. She pointed her chubby little finger at Duo Xi and said in a tender voice, "Brother, brother, brother."

Xia Yuanqiang placed the little guy at his feet and gently pushed him toward Duoxi: "Walk slowly, look for your brother."

Duoyi, a tiny little bundle, tiptoed towards Duoxi. Xia Jingxing had seen his nephews when they were young, but he had never met them in person.

Upon seeing the miniature version of Gao Shujing, the pretty little baby hugged the pink bundle in his arms and teased him with a grin: "Duoyi, I'm your fifth uncle. Come on, call me your fifth uncle."

The little dumpling's path to his fourth brother, Duoxi, was blocked. He stretched out his chubby little hand and grabbed at the air, trying to get his fourth brother's attention to the fact that it wasn't that he couldn't go over, but that a strange uncle was blocking his way.

Xia Jingxing took his little hand in his and taught him with a smile, "Duoyi, you have to call him Fifth Uncle."

Duo Yi's little brain worked, and his big, clear eyes looked at the strange uncle. Facing a stranger, the little guy was not afraid at all. Instead, he cutely tilted his head and said, "Five, five pig, pig."

Xia Jingxing was struck in the heart by the head tilt, and couldn't help but pick up the little guy and rub his chubby little body against him.

Xia Jingxing: "You're so cute, Duoyi! How can you be so adorable? Your fifth uncle loves you so much! Why don't you come back to the capital with your fifth uncle?"

He was too rough with his hands and feet, making Duoyi very uncomfortable. The little guy frowned and started flailing his little hands and feet.

Several sister-obsessed individuals who were always concerned about their 'little sister's' situation immediately became unhappy.

Ignoring his father's nagging, Duolu turned around and called out, "Fifth Uncle, you're hurting my sister."

Duofu had already walked up to Xia Jingxing: "Fifth Uncle, you've never held a child before, so let me hold Duoyi."

When Duoyi saw her older brother, she immediately stretched out her chubby, white arms and rushed towards him, calling out in a pitiful voice, "Brother, brother, brother."

The little guy has just learned to speak and doesn't know how to say things like "eldest brother" or "second brother." He just calls all his older brothers "brother."

Seeing Duofu's cold face, Xia Jingxing involuntarily let go of Duoyi's arms, allowing him to take the pink little dumpling away.

Duoyi snuggled into her older brother's arms and immediately grabbed his clothes with her two little hands. In her little heart, she thought that if she held on tightly to her older brother, he wouldn't be taken away by the weird uncle.

Duo Yi's dependence on Duo Fu brought a hint of a smile to his cold face. He gently patted the little guy's back to comfort him, saying, "Don't be afraid, Duo Yi, your big brother is here, your big brother is here."

Xia Tai'an glared at his youngest son, who could never stay still for a moment.

Han Meifeng was more direct, slapping him hard on the back: "If you don't know how to hold a child, then don't. Duoyi isn't like you; you can't break her no matter what you do."

Xia Jingxing muttered, "It's not my fault. Duoyi is just too pretty. Besides, Duofu is too biased. He gives me a cold look, but he keeps smiling when he's with Duoyi."

If it weren't for Duoyi's adorable head tilt, he wouldn't have lost his composure.

Han Meifeng glared at him fiercely: "Comparing you to Duoyi is ridiculous. Aren't you afraid of being drowned in spittle? Look at your disgusting face, and then look at Duoyi's face. Who can be so heartless towards Duoyi?"

Xia Jingxing recklessly blurted out, "I have a way to make people ruthless towards Duoyi."

He knew perfectly well that the reason his nephews doted on Duoyi was because she was their 'little sister'.

If he were to remove his disguise, Duoyi would immediately face a storm of attacks from Duofu and the others, and then he might be able to take the adorable Duoyi back to the capital.

Xia Jingxing had such a wild idea that he didn't even consider whether Yu Rujia and her husband would agree to his sudden whim.

Xia Jingfan saw through his younger brother's thoughts at a glance and slapped him on the back of the head in an annoyance: "Stop being so stupid. If you keep acting like this, you'll kill yourself without even realizing it."

A few years ago, a few kids could easily beat him to a pulp. Now he dares to teeter on the edge of disaster. He must be worried he won't die soon enough.
