Before dawn, Li Chunyan took Zhang Fan and got into Ji Zhi's car to return to Zhangjiapo.

The kimchi factory employees had already been given a day off to go home and pack up in preparation for moving the next day.

When we returned to Zhangjiapo, it was already dawn, and the whole of Zhangjiapo was immersed in joy.

Everyone put their belongings at the door early, waiting for the auspicious time to start moving.

Everything was tied with red ribbons, even the chickens and ducks in the house were not spared. Little Black looked at the red ribbons with great envy, as it was the only dog ​​that was not tied with one.

It wandered around in front of Li Chunyan, but Li Chunyan didn't react: "Xiao Hei, go play over there first. Let me see if there's anything I forgot. Keep a close eye on it when we move, don't let it get lost."

Xiao Hei picked up a piece of red silk and waved it in front of Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan said, "Xiao Hei, go away."

"Woo—" Little Black's ears drooped, and he was feeling down.

Li Chunyan then noticed Xiao Hei and tentatively asked, "Xiao Hei, do you want to tie a red ribbon?"

"Awooo!" Little Black immediately sat up straight, its ears perked up, and its tail wagged like a propeller.

As Li Chunyan tied the red ribbon around Xiao Hei's neck, she exclaimed in surprise, "This Xiao Hei is so intelligent!"

Zhang Fan: "Sister-in-law, when I'm not around, you must take Xiao Hei with you wherever you go. It can protect you."

Li Chunyan chuckled and said, "Where else can you go?"

Suddenly her expression changed, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Is it because of last night?"

Her eyes involuntarily reddened, and she said in a panic, "It was my fault, I shouldn't have done that, please don't go."

She apologized several times, and Zhang Fan said, "Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand. You are my only family. No matter what you do to me, I'm willing."

"Where are you going?" Li Chunyan's probing gaze fell on Zhang Fan.

“It’s my master, Cen Zhi, a famous doctor in Kyoto. He said he wanted to teach me something new and told me to go find him.”

Li Chunyan's gaze remained fixed on Zhang Fan, scrutinizing every expression, trying to discern whether he was lying.

Zhang Fan's expression was calm and his eyes were firm, showing no intention of dodging. Only then did she believe Zhang Fan's words.

"Then you must be careful," Li Chunyan said reluctantly.

Zhang Fan: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, wherever you are, that's where my home is."

Zhang Fan had said this countless times, but Li Chunyan's ears still turned red.

Previously, it was a confession between family members, but after spending two nights together with Zhang Fan, she began to think of it as a confession between lovers.

My heart is pounding wildly.

Her cheeks were flushed and burning, and the tips of her ears were so red they looked like they could bleed.

"The auspicious time has arrived, let's begin the move!" Zhang Youde shouted in a loud voice, his tone high and filled with joy.

Upon hearing this, everyone started loading their things onto the truck.

The government paid for the large trucks and also hired workers to help with the moving; the villagers only needed to move a few things.

Tied with a bright red ribbon, it swayed up and down with the bumps of the car, like a little red figure dancing happily.

Everyone's face was beaming with joy, their smiles stretching to their ears, their cheeks flushed with happiness.

Following Zhangjiapo's convoy was Dingjiacun's convoy.

Like the villagers of Zhangjiapo, their faces were beaming with joy, their eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and their gazes were filled with happiness for a bright future.

Li Chunyan sat in the passenger seat of the train, looked back at Zhangjiapo, her eyes filled with nostalgic reluctance and beautiful longing for the future.

My mindset is completely different from when I moved last time. Last time, I wanted to find a new place to work hard, so that even if things didn't go well, I would still have somewhere to go. This time, I will never come back after moving.

Wang Yi and Li Ben were on Zhang Youde's train. When Zhang Youde was treating villagers, Wang Yi stayed at Zhang Youde's house.

As Zhang Youde was laughing, tears suddenly welled up in the corners of his eyes. Afraid of being seen, he quietly wiped away his tears.

He reminisced about the past year, but he still felt reluctant to leave the house he had lived in for decades.

He is not alone in having such thoughts; most of them are older people.

This scene was witnessed by villagers from Baijia Village who were watching the spectacle. They spat and muttered behind her back, "That bitch is just being pretentious!"

Moving to a new house and raising rockfish is such a joyous occasion, yet you're crying? Who are you trying to fool?

But they didn't have the chance; their village was perfectly protected from earthquake zones.

Before, they would have felt incredibly lucky; now, they wish they could move their houses to an earthquake zone.

...

The truck stopped right in front of the new house, and the workers helped carry the furniture inside, while the villagers carried their own lighter items.

The move was very quick, completed in less than an hour. Before we could even unpack, and were standing at the door admiring the red ribbon on the gate, three more trucks arrived.

A truck was parked in front of Zhang Fan's house, water splashing everywhere from the back of the truck.

Jiang Tao shouted from the passenger seat, "Zhang Fan, we're about to release the fish. Tell everyone to go check it out."

Without Zhang Fan notifying them, the villagers heard the commotion and spontaneously carried their buckets to the pond.

The back of the truck was covered with plastic sheeting and filled with countless rockfish.

The rockfish lays about 300,000 eggs at a time. Some were lost before, and Jiang Tao now has about 270,000.

He estimated that he had scooped out about a third of the rockfish from the pond.

A truck was loaded with about nine ten-fish. There are about 750 people in the two villages. The fish are distributed according to the number of people. Each person can get 120 fish. If we calculate based on a family of four, each family can get about 480 fish.
